Butter From France,

The New York Tribune says that butter
Is now actually brought from France and
sold in the New York market This is be-
cause there is actual scarcity of good butter
in our markets, put up in attractive shape
for small consumers. When we know that
one dalryman gets $l.15 pound for his
products, another $l.OO, and another Is
centsthe year round at his dairy door, it is
easily seen that it will pay to bring butter
across the ocean from France, if it is not
only good and shapely enough to suit the
taStldiuns purchasers who will have some
thing nice whatever it may cost All this
butter is made from choice cows, choicely
fed on clean, sweet food the milking is
done in the cleanest manner The milk is
handled as carefully as though it were nee
tar. The churning Of the cream is regu-
lated by clock and thermometer; the butter
is worked with Skill and is made up in
shapely cakes which DO not require to be
cut when brought to the table. Compare,
then, this cake-hard, golden, yellow, fra
grant and tempting-with an unsighty
chunk that is cut out of greasy keg, and
smells of old age and rancdity, and is made
from ill-kept cream from COWS filthy
lodged and carelessly MIXED, and is churned
anyhow, and the difference is easily &C.
counted for.

Great Closing Out Sale of
Boots and Shoes.

The entire stock of Henry Bertram
must positively be closed out at what
it will bring within the next sixty
days. Remember these are no cheap
or auction goods, but the very best and
durable stock of boots and shoes in this
city, to be sacrificed at auction prices. The
custom department will be carried on as
heretofore at greatly reduced prices. All
accounts must be settled Immediately.

A Good Officer.

Whatever the upshot may be of our mu.
nicipal election two weeks hence, and no
matter what party succeeds, one thing the
interests OF this community demand and that
is the reelection of Michael CUNNINGHAM f.
the Office of City Marshal. There is not in
the State a more faithful and vigilant off.
Ger than Mr. Cunningham, and being SC
much of an improvement on what we gen
orally have had here in the Marshalship
there should be no question about his re
tention.

A Word to the Public.

AS we have had some large failures of
boot and shoe factories east, on account of
hard times, have just purchased very
tine and large assortment of boots and
shoes, all from the best in New York, Phil
adelphia, Boston, etc. This stock has been
bought SO cheap that | can afford to under
sell any other Bankrupt stock in the coun-

Breathing Miasma Without Injury

There is no exaggeration in the statement
that thousands of persons residing from one
years end to another in fever and ague re-
gions on this Continent and elsewhere,
breathe air more or less impregnated with
miasma, without mourning the disease, SIM
ply and only because They are in the habit
of using Hostetter's Stomach bitters as
preventive. 1t has frequently happened
and the fact has been amply attesied by the
parties themselves, that persons surrounded
on all sides by neighbors suffering the tor
lures of this shiverng and burning plague,
have enjoyed absolute immunity from it,
thanks to the protection afforded by the
Bitters. Nor is that standard anti-sebrile
cordial less efficacious in remedying than in
preventing chills and fever, bilious remit
tents and disorders of a kindred type.
Taken between the paroxysms, it speedily
mitigates their violence, and eventually
prevents their recurrence. These facts.
convincingly established by evidence, APP

sojourners in maiarious districts.

Communists, who the day before had de-
clared that 10 offer Of labor was q remedy,
to resume work. Instead of asking protec-
ton from tho authorities, they came
to the men who had declared TINT
no work should be done, and of course, get
ting into such bad company, found them
selves under arrest. They were subsequently
released, however, and it is to be presumed
will not apply to Communists again with
reference to the resumption of labor. The
manifestoes Of these Communists and their
action at the meeting reveal so clearly the
real animus that actuates them, namely, the
determination to stop labor aud quarter
themselves upon the community, sponging
living without work, and melting moba to
burn. aud plunder, ought to be sufficient
ground for the prompt action Of the authori-
ties against them as public pests and enemies
Of society. The Communist anywhere is
lazy, dissolute, sneaking, dangerous vaga-
bond, and tae st. Louis Communist seems
to be the worst Of the whole worthless class.

ground that Ill the life-interests had expired.
The executors demurrcd, holding that it
could not be partitioned until after the death
Of the widow, who had relinqulshed all be-
quests made to her, taking therefor her
dover rights. Yesterday Judge WILLIAMS
decided in favor Of the Plaintiffs. Que sec
ton OF the will provides that one
half of the estate should be devoted to the

from actual vision. and we have had tast'
of their quality. Nobody wants to see then
again.
But we shall see them, in force and d
their mischief, unless We resort to repressivt
measures such as are called for by the exi'
| gency. Our authorities missed u grand op,
portunity to make nceful impression,
They showed such lack Of energy and firm
ness, they seemed so afraid Of hurting the
rascals, that precious time WAS lost, great
! damage WIS done, aud very slight rebuke
was administered. These dangerous classes
! need to be mst promptly and severely, and
at every point. We must act with our eyes
open. A good beginning was made in the
hanging Of the Molly Maguire" murderers.
Excellent legislation has been commenced in
few Of the Stat es looking to asuppression of
tramp life, and Of violent proceedings and
conspiracies on the part of laborers to in-
timidate employers and fcllow-workmen, and
to the prevention of interference with rail-
road trains. These laws must not be allowed
to remain dead letter. Brakemen and
switchmen, engineers and fremen, are not
the only persons concerned in railroads, that
they should undertake their forcible con-
troll. Farmers and merchants, all who pro-
duce, trade, or travel, are interested in hav-
ing the roads unmolested, and they should
consequently insist upon the firm execution
OF law at whatever cost. A few lives taken
at the first saves human life in the end. We
have no bloodthirsty disposition to crafty;
h1f va hoy c+ro ~ nFf fha
slty Of preserving order and enforcing law.
A little powder, used to teach the dangerous
classes needful lesson, is well burned, pro-
vided there are bullets in front of it. Wehave
no faith in blank cartridges, or in muskets
pointed upward. When riot can be subdued
in one day, why allow it to Hnger for
week? When it can be put down in an
hour, why indulge it for day? When it
can be so direfully ended as not to be re-
newed for ten or twenty years, why treat it
SO mildly Us to secure its return possibly in
q few months?
Nor should we forget milder and precau-
tlonaly measures, which operate gradually, !
anu appeal to the better susceptibilities of
even the worst classes. Education and relig- |
ion must be strong reliance for preventive |
and permanent cure. These will accompany !
\ firm rule, and insure final success. |
Whatever promises moral reform whatever
overconles intemperance, idlencss, gam
bling, and Righteousness whatever tends

astes and teaches self-restraint whatever

! had contributed to universal depression in
this country, anlit affected other lands Ever
since 1878 the lines have been drawing closer.
Shock has followed upon shock. Tie miners,
tho manufacturers, the navigators, the pro-
ducers, the middlemen, the transportation
interests, had all suffered. Capital WIGS IN a
chronic state Of distrust, and feared to reach
out for improvement And it was at this
crisis that the railroad employees rose up en-
masse and declared that all business should
stop Their decree has been enforced for
week. Where is the improvement Where
can my benefit come from it ? The loss we
can begin to count up. It includes the mill
ions. Of property that have been swept from
the face Of the earth by fire, and the greater
millions that have been squandered in the
loss of time and the idlaness OF the steam
power that were engaged in producing or
transporting.
The cost OF all this falls moro heavily
upon the workingmen than any other class.
Those whom they call capitalists, whatever
the loss may be, eau count with reasonable
certainty on having enough to eat and drink.
But there are families in this city to-day, de-
pendent on the earnings Of men who have
abandoned their work aud pay for week,
that are hungry. Can they turn for money
to the men whose property has been de-
stroyed or whose business has been stopped
BY violent and unlawful interference? Those
who threw the stones cannot now ask for
bread. The effects Of the interrupt
ton Of business will not disappear
with the cessation OF the strike. The
hard times will be harder thnn ever, and the
lack Of confidence greater, and the hope of
still further postponed. The
country must carry the losses incident to the
strike and the mob in addition to the losses
it had already suffered. Capital will be more |
lstrustful than ever. Taxes will not be I
lighter. There will be less remuneration for !
lie employer and proportiouately less for
he workman. And this is the result, not Of
strike, but Of deliberate and lawless at
ack upon society and business, which is the
orm the railroad strike assumed from the
lrst: The crime has been committed, and

A DAY FOR REFLECTION.

Sunday is good day for retrospection and
introspectlon. Looking back over the week,
there is reason to De thankful that Chicago
escaped the piilase, and fire: and destruction
that Threatened it and swept Pittsburg But
this escape Was through no forbearauce of
the mob nor with the assistance OF the rail
way strikers. It was in spite of both. The
railway strikers inaugurated the 1awlessness
by laying violent hands on other mems prop
erty, preventing other men frcm working.
and violating the statute BY obstruct:ne the
operation Of commerce. It Was tueir exam
pie which brought the depraved classes to
the front aud encouraged them to still great
er lawlessness and violence. There is not q
man among them all who can sit down Quiet
1y to-day aud discover solitary conpensa~
ton for all the turmoil, the terrorism, and
the damage they have occasioned.
Are the railroad strikers any better off than
they were one week ago? Let the wife md
mother of family Of children answer. whose
allowance is short at the best, and must now
be reduced by at least one weeks whole nav
The railroad strike in the West was 1aroelv n
matter OF sentimental sympathy. MANY of
the Western railroads had not joined in the
recent reductions made BY the Eastern roads
and the employees were at least moderately
satisfied with their pay. By Joining the
strike or submitting to the dictation that all
should quit. work, out Of sympathy for the
Eastern strikers, these men have lost weeks
pay ana reduced the chances for an increase
IN the near future. Much of the complaint
or poor pay on the railroads arose from the

as possible, on account of the hard times.
