The prcsentment Of the Pittsburgh riot
Grand Jury has provoked a storm. The
Grand Jury is wrong in falling 10 see that,
however blunderngly handled the militia

right in seeing that the otllcious marshallinR
Of the State troops by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company WAS perilous source of
irritation Tho militia came upon the scene
controlled by the railroad officials, and were
nut into the attitude less of constructors ul
the peace than Of tools 81 the obnoxious cor
poratiun This fact, coupled with conrlu-
sive evidence that the militia opened fire
without orders, may throw Hight on the
jury's finding that tho riots followed ill.,
cvtahly the conduct Of the military, too
largely controlled by railroad officials and
eliminating in frightful massacre Its,
Of course, erroneous to say " the riots fol-
lowed inevitably" because violence had
previously begun; but the jury is sound in
expressing the idea that the Selling hold Of
the militia by the railroad officials, to put
them wherever they desired, wa IA fald

Tho spirit OF this is very bitior, but the
facts rccitod in the latter clause are unQuos-
tionable; 1t was the Pittsburgh yigilanc,
committee that stamped out the riot, and
not the militia, which had passed from n
state of helpless and hopeless siege to one
OF flight from the city. The iury's thrust
against the State officials, including HART
RANT, was partly due no doubt, to the I'M
willingness of the latter to testify thus JUS
| tifying condemnation, though not the con
clnsion that "they wrought all tho mis-
chief" The truth seems TO be that the llnr-
risburg officials, including llAKrRANFr,
mortified over their own imbccility and folly
during the riots, rather than undergo cross
examination ms to what they did, and by

Boston Globe: Near Columbus, o.,
an enterprising farmer named Snyder
has established a new industry in the
| manufacture of human skeletons.
| There had for long time been d
mystery about Snyder's little factorn
| which WAS located in a secluded spot
on his farm. Out OF Difference 10 the
prejudices Of unscientific people he
| gave out that he merely prepared food
there tor an extensive henuerY, from
| which he supplied the Columbus
market with fat and delicate poultry.
But a good deal of curiosity was
excited by teams which came and
went at the dead of night, and by the
fact that nobody was ever admitted To
the long, low building from which
issued the smoke that betokened the
constant cookery OF chicken food
Finally prying pump-msker entered
the building unnoticed. and prompted
by curiosity, lifted the cover of "a
large caaidron, to discover, to his
utter horror, half u dozen human
skeletons quietly grinning in hot
water. From him a reporter got wind
OF the affair, and obtained admission
10 SDyder's skeleton factory, and learn
ed all about the business. A large load
had just been sent OFF to market, aud
about twenty-five specimens in prime
condition were shown him. They
looked fresh and white. and gave evi-
dence of the superiority OF SDyter's
method of preparing this commodity
for the market. In an upper room
there was large assortment of boner
scattered atyuut and piled together
waiting the hand of the cunning ar
titicer. The uBwary boy who had been
induced to show the reporter over the
establishment, said that business Was

ity they would turn out some two hum
