1t has been said, "a soft answer turneth
away wrath" Now the school boy who
discussed the liquidation question with the
Union, in The ARGUS of yesterday, can
not possibly be wrathy with the Union on
account of its answer to his figures, that
is, if there is no mistake in the first part
of the above quotation. The Union says:
He ought to become qualified by that
time, though we have heard of persons
who never learn anything.
Yes. so have we, and it is thought by
many that they are members of the city
council at the present time. It is to be
hoped our mayor will not, by negative
vote, place himself in the same category.

Yet Anothers!Case for the Considera
Of the Neutrality-suspicious..
IRON he Canadian Free Pres,

PTCEt f1Te6Ss
A few weeks ago, MIR. John Edwards,
who resides upon Point Pelee, Ontario, lost
two horses. He advertised reward for
their recovery, and though his son search
ed for some days, and others were on the
lookout for them, no trace of them could be
found. A week ago last Saturday night, VIM.
Grub, Mr.. Edwards on-in-law, who re-
sides with him, dreamed that he had gone
in,search for the horses. and, after travel
ing through part of the country and oyer
roads where he had never been before, he
found them behind Mr.. Jacob Hyatt's Rom
ney, and. not being able to catch them, he
drove them up Mr.. Hyatt's lane, and secur-
ed them and tooksthem home. In the morn
ing when he aWoke, he related his dream,
and felt assured that the horses would be
found in the place seen by him, and so
firmly convinced was he of this that he de-
termined at once to go in search of them and
to follow the road marked out to him in his
dreams. He started along the east shore OF
the Point, followed the shore to the town line,
passed through Wheatley, and went north
to Mr.. Hyatt's. So vivid an impression
did the dream make upon his mind that he
was able to follow the road. Every scene
was familiar-the trees, the road, the beach
and every turn in tie road-so that he
found it impossible to go astray. When
he passed through Wheatley it was pre-
cisely as he had seen it the night before,
and what is stranger still. when he reached
MIR, Hyatt's place, there were the horses
in the exact place indicated. When he
attempted to catch them he could not. and
they ran into Mr.. Hyatt's lane. which he
at once recognized as the lane Of his dream
He secured the horses, and soon was home
with them.

A United States Senator's Views on the
Strike and It's Causes.

Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, as
cribes the present trouble to the depression
of business prevalent in all mining. manu-
featuring and lumber localities. He says
that the depression in unparalleled in the
history of Pennsylvania industry, and most
people believed it to be the result of the
grinding procession toward lower stand
ard of values now going on, Under the
policy that lowers the value of everything
but government bonds no new enterprises
are undertaken and business long estab-
lished languishcs or is carried forward by
renewing merchantile paper at higher rates
of interest. Incorporated capital, whether
bank, railway, mining or manufacturing,
is exactinR upon its agents. Shares gu
downward under small or passed dividends,
and they are sought to be increased by
bringing expenses down through reduc-
ton of the quantity or the pay Of the en-
ployes. This policy has brought US to
what are. in substance. bread riots, and we
are but repeating the experience Of Great
Britain on her return to specie payment.
1t is undeniable that the cause of the
strikers has the sympathy of vast masses
Of our population, and that very many Of
our business men recognized results which
they have foreseen from their compulsory
inability to employ labor at its fair reward,
and in the policy which has produced long
continued and ever-increasing depression
of our industries. Are the interests of
business, the distress of labor, and the Pc
nury of whole masses of people not to be con-
sidering in our return to specie payments
The government that bankrupts its people
and starves its artisans and their families
for the accomplishment of theory, is un-
worthy their confidence.

Horse Thieves Arrested.

Two young men, giving their names as
Henry Clark and William White, were
arrested and jailed in Davenport yesterday
the 9th-on suspicion of being horse
thieves. Both had valuable horses, which
they sold to Tony LIE Claire for $40 each.
After being closely questioned, Clark, the
youngest one, gave way, and made clean
breast of it. He said the horses had been
stolen near Dunlap-on the Peoria road,
last Monday night. He also admitted that
they had been engaged in numerous burg
laries and petty larcenies, and gave the
police awatch which he said he had stolen.
They have since admitted that their
real names are Vim. Riches and Willis r.
