GREAT distress is reported among the
cotton operatives in some parts Of Eng
land, large numbers Of them being wholly
idle while many mills are working only
from two to four days week. The devel-
op,nent Of manufacturing industries in
some countries which have hitherto fur
nishp,i market for British products has
largely diminished the demand, and as
Ills abatement is apparently permanent,
.one Of the mill-owners and operatives
will find II necessary to employ their capi-
,olapd labor in other lines. Changes Of
nj. sort are made with great reluctance,
howeyer, and attempts to remedy the I'M
fortunate situation by reductions OF wages

We are willing to live under either for
four years after President Hayes steps
down and out; but our preference is dc.
cidedly and heartily for the former. The
policy OF the present administration in re-
gard to Southern affairs, does not, by its
results, commend itself favorably to US
With General Giant at the helm, an effort,
at least, would have been made TO secure
fair play in the recent elections; but eth.
erthrOugh lack Of moral or material power,
Mr.. Hayes has quietly witnessed the total
distr1nchisement Of a million Of voters,
without raising his voice in their behalf.
This may be the true way to coneiliate the
erring brethren, but it occurs to me 1t is
altogether one-sided. With our soldier
President at the fore, all the people, irres-
pectiye Of politics, would get fair play.
That's what We want; and that's what We
expect to demand at the next Republican
Convention. It seems premature now to
discuss presidential nominations; but We
Country Radicals" have set our minds
upon either Grant, COnkling or Blaine,
and We esteem them in the order in which
they are here named.

A LIVELY CHASE.

NcTIililllon Stauudfu.
Sheriff Mcdonald had lively chase this
week after young man who had been ex.
perimenting in selling mortgaged property.
The young fellow, whose name is w. II.
Fredrickson, short time ago gave Prentice
& Newton mortgage on at9eaq-of mules,
wagon and harness. Day before yesterday
he went to Elk Point, where sister of his
formerly lived, and offered the outfit for sale
at very low figures. To make the purchaser
believe the sale was all right he told that he
must raise money to help his sister. He
finally found a purchaser who gave him $40
for the properly, butiastead Of paying cash
gave him two money orders on the Sioux
City postof6ce. Doubling that everything
was all right the purchaser telegraphed to
this place to learn if there was mortgage
on record against the property. By the
time an answer was received the scamp had
cleared out. However telegram was sent
to Sioux City to stop the payment of the
money orders, and the young fellow learn
ing this came back to Burbank TO his moth
ers home. 1t was there that Sheriff Nc
Donald found him and made the arrest. He
is now under the protection Of Deputy An
derson, and as the Law is very severe on per.
sons selling mortgaged property he is likely
to serve short time at the headquarters in
Detroit. The young scamp has wife liv.
ing near here whom he has deserted Just a,
an embarrassing period Of wifehood-not
leaving her money enough to purchase food
or clothing. Such a record is rather start
ling for ayoung man Of twenty-four years o
age.

prints the following, under date Of Constan-

Mr.. Master, agent Of the English relief
fund, has just arrived here with train full
Of refugees from Adrianople. These un-
happy people have been in open cattle trucks
three days. Many perished from cold
weaker: Last night fifteen wert found dead
in trucks. The suffering Of all is described
a. awful. Mothers are said in their frenzy to
have thrown away their living babies nth-
er than see them die In their arms. As the
train moved from Adrianople, numbers Of
people tried to cling to the outside, and
frame work Of the carriage, and many at
tempted to ride on the buffers. At one
station, where hundreds of people had con-
eregated without food, for two DAYS, the
men threat ,ued Mr.. Master with violence,
If bread was not gwen them. Yesterday
there were $4,000 women and children out
in the snow, at Charlou. Three trains full
are hourly expected to arrive at CONSTANT
nople. 1t is not known where they will
find shelter. The snow is sever inches
deep aud is still falling. Cold Is intense,
and all that can possibly be done, is being Of
fected by the administrators Of the relief
fund, but many lives are being sacrificed
