Don't Like it's Name.

The Democrat objects to the action
of the State Central Committee of its
party in cal ling a "People's Reform
Conv ention." It prefers that the
Committee should not attempt to sail
under ga false flag" and demands
that if its members are ashamed of the
name "Democratic" they should re-
sign their places that others may be
appoint ed instead. There is consider
able dissatisfaction in various quarters
with what is regarded as the unauthor-
lied and arbitrary action of the Com
mittee in arrogating to itself the power
to Oh n5e the name CT the party tor
which it is acting. Undoubtedly the
point is we'll taken, technically, that
the Committee had no ri ght to issue a
call for any other than Democratic
convention. But the Committee, on
the other hand, was induced to assume
the authority it exercised, with the
expectation that it would be the means
of catching here and there political
gudgeon, which it was hoped would
take hook baited with Reform" but
would shun anything infected with the
poison of Democracy. 1t is very
pretty quarrel as it stands between the
old rock-rooted, bourbon element of the
party, and the Committee, and we view
the contest with great omplacency,
caring little as to which side is victori-
Gus.

Mus. CHISHOLM, the widow of Judge
Chisholm, who was so foully murdered
by The Democratic White League of
Mississippi some time ago, has written
to friend in Washington stating
that the Probate Court of Kemper
county has peremptorily refused to
settle up her dead husbands estate.
For this refusal she says that no reason
was assigned. If the prosecuting at
torney of the county together with the
judges of the circuit and probate courts
would only now unite and assassinate
Mrs. Chisholm and her remaining
children, and divide her property be-
tween themselves it would be eut;rely
in keeping with the history Of this
awful tragedy thus far. Mississippi
will give large Democratic majority
this fall.

TRAMPS AND Massacb u
sets papers say that the State detec-
tives, who have been going among the
tramps for the purpose of learning how
to deal with them, report that their
observation thus far convince them that
the great body of tramps are professional
thieves. Occasionally one travels by
himself, but they generally form into
gangs for few days or longer, under
the directions of chief, and have
their duties assigned them, who are to
beg to-day and who tomorrow,
and what places are to be broken into.
1t is suspected the tramps have gcner-
al head quarters for stolen property
among the hills in the western part Of
the State.

EVERY detail of preparations shows
that the Russians have made up their
minds Tor long war, and are preparing
great depots of fire-wood. the Rouma-
Man Government is also asking tenders
for supply of great quantities of cloth.
ing and stores. A rain of less than
twelve hours duration has rendered
the roads at Sistova, over which the
Russian supplies are transported, sea
OF mud, with gaping holes at f eluent
intervals. 1t will be very difficult for
the Russians even to maintain their
armies between the Balkans aud the
Danube when summer weather breaks
up.

IT is announced that the President
has issued an order forbidding the
further sale of fire arms to the Indians.
In this the President has acted very
wisely, and it is hoped no difficulty
will be found in enforcing the rcgula-
ton. There is, and has been for some
time, a standing rule against selling
arms and ammunition to the Indians
by any but authorized traders, and yet
the Indians have supplied themselves
abundantly with superior arms from
sources ofwhich the authorities pretend
to have no cognizance. Unless the
President can provide some efficient
means of carrying his order into execu-
ton, it will not avail much.

DODGE County Democrats do not
mean that there shall be scarcity of
candidates to select from when the
State Convention meets to make up a
ticket. A. Scott Sloan and Sam D.
Burchard are mentioned for Governor
and James B. Hayes is talked Of for
Secretary of State. 1t is understood
that a certain member of the legal fra
ternity residing in the 9th ward OF
this city would not decline the NOM
nation for Attorney General, if tender
dered him. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that Dodge county furnishes its full
quota of candidates.

Sonora News.

We have Guaymas news up to June %. General Mariscal was elected Gov ernOr. A report is published, however, that Gen. E. Huerta had been appoint ed provisional governor and military commander of Sonora, and that the election for members of Congress were annulled. The election of Sonora Senators to City of Mexico, occurred on June 24, and A. Mejia and Luis Pache- co were chosen, but it is not certain that elections were legal owing to the report regarding provisional governor and annulment of election for members of Congress. Reports from the City of Mexico say many people are dlssatis- fled with DiaZ.
 \ telegram had just been received by Robert R. SymOn that the Gov Iernment had approved the Sonora railroad concession, on June s. Par ticulars by mail. Old Gov. I. Pesquei ra is expected to soon return from the City of Mexico, and Coy. J. J. Pes queira is still reported at Jaflos.

AQuaker's Impressions.

The Episcopal service, with its re- sPOnses, produces a peculiar effect on some temperaments. A young Quaker who was eagerly winning his way into the affections of a High Church Epis- copalian lady, was invited by her to attend religious service. He ex- hibited only lively curiosity at first, but when the whole congregation per sisted in repeating the words, |" Lord be merciful to IS, miserable sinners, |" his bearing was one of surprse, pro baby at the frank confession, but it soon became ore of indignation and denial when his inamorata, with a loud, clear voice, included herself among the miserable sinners, perhaps because he was not accustomed to look upon her in exactly that light When asked afterward how he was pleased, his reply was very nalve:-"I never thought you were such a dreadful creature as you confessed yourself to be today, and 1 don't like to have you stand up in any church and blackguard yourself in that dreadful way."-New York Herald.

The S-hOur Law.

The Supreme court of the United
 States has just adversely passed upon
 what is popularly known as the B.
 hour law oi Congress. The decision
 is by Mir Justice Hunt The case was
 instituted by Arthur Martin before the
 court of claims wherein he obtained
 "a verdict. The United States appeal led and the Supreme Court remanded the case back with orders to dismiss the
 petition of Martin. The court holds
 ,hat the act of Congress was direction
 to the officers and agents of the United
 States establishing the principle to be observed in the labor of those engaged in the service, and it prescribes the length of time which should amount to days work when no specIal agree ment was made upon the subject. The act, however, does not establish the price to be paid for a days work of eight hours nor the price when the terms are less or greater. It does not prohibit the employer and laborer from agreeing as to what time should con- stitute days work. The court regards the statute chiefly as in the nature of direction from a principal to his agent that eight hours is deemed to be prop CT length of time for a days labor, and that his contracts shall be based upon that theory.
 Ut is a matter between the principal and his agent, in which a third party has no interest. The proclamation of the President and the act of 1872 arel in harmony with this view of the stat ute. We are of the opinion, therefore, l that contracts fixing or giving a diff l terent length of time as the days work | are legal and binding upon the parties | them" In this case thel claimant continued his work, after understanding that eight hours would | not be accepted as a days labor, but that he must work twelve hours, as he had done before. He received his pay of $2.50 a day for the work of twelve hours day, as a calender days work protest or objection. His con- tract was a voluntary and a reasonable one, by which he must now be bound.

The Government and the TeIe-
 graph.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The Post master General has fixed the maximum rate to be charged the Government for telegraphing at a cent per word for each 800 miles or fraction thereof, address and signature all being count ed, all messages of less then twenty
 five words being rated as twenty five word messages. If the distance eX- ceeds 2500 miles, not over cents will be paid, ii the entire line belong to one company. It is provided that whenever the public rates are reduced that the Government shall not pay more for twenty-five word message than the public for a ten word mes sage. The Signal Service will pay 3 cents per word for each 300 mile cir cult. This is a decrease in price all round.

Closing in on Brigham.

Brigham Young and some others
 of the high dignataries of Mormon
 dom, recently left Salt Lake City for San Pete Tn Southern Utah. It is an- nounced by telegraph from Washing
 ton that the |. $. Distrlct Attorney of
 Utah has instructions to pursue the investigation against Brigham and Oth rs and that indictments will soon
 be found against them from testimony discovered by aid of statements in
 John D. Lees confession. The New
 York Herald's correspondent, MT. J.
 B. Stillson, one of the brightest and ablest of New York journalists, has
 hunted the records and found some very damaging testimony against Brig
 ham when he was Governor and ex-of ficio Indian superintendent Among the accounts appears a voucher for goods distributed to the Indians in Sep tember 30, 1857, at Mountain Meadows. The massacre at the place where these goods were sworn to be delivered was only fourteen days before, and thIs place was three hundred and twenty miles from Salt Lake City. Among the items are q remarkable number of coats, pantaloons, hats, shirts, legglngs, blankets and tobacco, exactly the sort ot goods which would form part of an emigrant's outfit. The total value represented by this voucher is $3,500, and it is the largest of all the IA turn ed in by Brigham Young, the average of all the others being only $20O. More than this, the certificate of witnesscs to delivery of the goods is signed by John D. Lee. This IS certainly strong circumstantial evidence that these are the goods taken from the murdered emigrants. It IS thought Brigham's trip to San Pete is made with a view to be away from home when indictments are found against him. Certain it is, the Mormon chiefs see trouble ahead. and they will not, since the execution of Lee, leave anything undone to avoid d fate like his.
