turtle fashion, on last Monday morning, on the
. cool side of the house. Perhaps, after the man
ner of the laborers of the vineyard story, he was
waiting for job, we don't know; he may be a
"horny handed SON. of toll who is waiting for the
grand divide Of the commune, or he may be
Kearney in disguise. At any rate, as he waited,
along came young man named Fcrrlter whom
Fribbs" accosted in language not employed by
the catechism, to which Ferrtcr replied in suit
able words. The argument having waxed hot,
"Fribbs" planted zone" under Ferrter's nose.
This somewhat aroused the dormant electricity
in Fcrrter, and for the next half minute he
seemed to use IS pairs Of fists all aimed at Frbbs'

TRADE PROSPECTS.

The Philadelphia North American OF
Saturday, says that the prospects
for business men Is gloomy, and there Is
no trade movement in that city to speak
of. 1t says "the evidences OF spring are
seen on every hand and through every
means except those which are most need
ed in the marts of business-that Is, an
increase movement in the trade demand
for such articles IS are seasonable at this
period of the year. Business continues
very slow and with limited prospect OF
improvement, which causes our mer-
chants to wonder how long the present
condition of affairs can continue, and
who will be able to survive further
heightened spell of stagnstion.' That's
not very encouraging.

Another Compliment 10 the Register
From A. washington Campbell's lntelli-
gencer.
As an admirer OF your paper, l am
sorry to see that you have not committeo
yourself and explicitly stated that you
will exclude from your columns the "hlth
of the Police Court" aud also that you
will not suppress names IN disgusting
scandals" Your neighbor OF the hEG-
1sTER is more enterPrlsing than you.
He gives "us boys chance" we can
commit all crimes imaginable, even TO the
seduction of virtue, and we snail nave
our names kept sacred from the puoilc.
Now. Mr.. Editor, unless you do likewise,
look out for your scalp. We want no IN
reference of the press, and unless you
encourage vice by keeping your mouth
shut, beware You must 'refex.the BET
ter sentiment of the city" SPORT.
And Still Another.
From the Sunday School Leader.
"By clever arrangement OF the pc
lice law any Influential citizens with
thirty or forty dollars in their pockets,
when arrested for gambling or other
naughtiness. can "confess judgment, ..
paw the maximum fine, and avoid sp'
bearing before tho court, and the humil-
itv OF seeing their names IN print In
connection with their mi doings. Other
men, perhaps as respectable, but with
not so much money in their CLONES
are compelled to 60 to the lock
I'D. remain there all night, furnish
amusement to an audience in the morn,
ing; undergo the unplesssntness OF a trial
and to cap all, have their little ansir
shown up in complete detail through the
press. This is not q fair way OF dong
thinps. The law should make no dis.
tlnctlon of persons. Some changes IN
this respect is seriously needed. Inns
"respectability" business is played out.
A man should be considered respectable
only on his merit, and if justice is to duck
her head and pull the wool over the eyes
of the public for any she should do 1t Tor
all"
This is the view the REGISTER took OF
it; therefore, it determined to no Logger
follow the partial and unfair course OF
the "law" by screening the influential
and parading the names OF "other men,
perhaps as respectable but not
with so much money IN their
clothes" When all who trans
gress the law are punished alike, 1t
will be time for newspapers to publish
the name of every pretty offender.
Two of our contemporaries find fault
because we have seen fit to change
the course of the REGISTER in this re-
gard. We have simply followed, hereto
fore, bad precedent, and done as our
neighbors have done. If they approve
of the publication OF the "petty filth OF
the Police Court" we suppose they will
continue to msks their columns sewers OF
unclean ness, and with that course we find
no fault. If we do not all chose to travel
in the same path, let each follow MS
own inclination without ottense to the
other.
