\ remedy to prevent any recurrence
of mob violence is suggested by gentle
men in this city, and it is rs follows:
" Let the Legislature now in session pass
Il law authorizing the Judges of County
Courts, when ku klux or mob violence
breaks out in any part of county, to
order out from precinct most remote
from the one in which the outrages are
committed a company of the enrolled
militia and quarter them in the disturbed
section, placing about two soldiers to
each house, requiring the family to give
them the best room and the best bed
and the best food in the house, and keep
ing them so quartered until every male
inhabitant in the offending district
petitions for removal of the soldiers
and promises that no more outrages
shall occur" This scheme is hardly
practicable, but would certainly be
etfectual if ried.-Lerin9ton, Ky, Press

THE SYNDICATE'S FAREWELL.
Efforts to Obtain Release From the
| Loan Denied..What the Bankers
New York Tribune.


Members Of the 1 per cent. syndicate
deny the statements that Secretary Sher-
man has been requested to release it
from the last subscription of $lO, 1000 600
of per cent. bonds. II. G. Fahnestock,
vice president of the First National bank,
and member Of the syndicate, said
yesterday:
"When Secretary Sherman gave his
formal notice of desire to discontinue
the contract with the syndicate, he did
it in very courteous manner, and re-
quested the cooperation of the men,
bers individually and as banks is max
ing the popular loan successful. August
Belmont then wrote to the secretary,
designating Monday last as the date for
n friendly visit. Il sort of farewell. The
full amount Of bonds subscribed for
SO 700, OOO--has been received and paid
for, and the syndicate has nothing to
beg off from, and no favors to ask. The
Washington correspondents were all on
the wrong scent in ascribing the visit of
Messrs. Belmont, French, Bliss, Selig-
man, and Morgan to any other than So
cial and friendly motives. Equally err
roneous is the story Of an open compe-
tition with the government in the sale
of per cents. The syndicate has the
very best feeling for Secretary Sher-
mans popular loan, and its members,
after Saturday morning when the con-
tract ends, will, in common with other
banks and bankers, aid in placing the
new bonds ON a ! per cent. colnmis-
sion"
The bankers returned from Washing
ton last evening, and they all deny that
any request was made 10y them for a
release rom the SlO0OO,O0O subscrip-
ton or another subscription to the per
cent. loan, or that their visit had any
public interest whatever They express
the opinion that no measure like the
Bland silver bill can possibly receive a
two-thirds vote in either house, but
they expect that silver bin of a moder-
ate character will pass and become a
law, and that little or no general legis-
lation will be effected until the silver
question is disposed of.

DURING the past six months the
thoughtful kindness of the public has
supplied Bellevue, Charity, and other
hospitals with no less than $4,000 news
papers and magazines. This has been
done through the medium of the
newspaper boxes" placed in various
parts of the CITY, The box at st. Pauls
Church received the largest number
1875 papers; 1857 were deposited in
the box mt the Grand Central Depot,
and 1857 in the one in front of the
New York Hotel These boxes are
emptied every day, and the papers are
much valued by the hospital patients.

WHAT OF THAT

Tired! Well, what Of that?
Didst fancy life was spent on beds OF ease,
Fluttering the leaves scattered by the oreeze'
Come, rouse thee work while it is called to-day!
Coward, arise, go forth upon thy way.
Lonelvi And what of that?
Some must be lonely It's not given to all
To feel heart responsive rise and fall,
To blend another life into its own;
Work may be done in loneliness Work on,
Dark Wei, what OF that?
Didst fondly dream the sun would never setg
Dost fear 10 lose thy way? Take courage yet
Learn then to walk by faith and not by sight;
Thy steps Will guided be, and guided right
Hardi Well, what of that?
Didst fancy life ons Summer holiday,
With lessons none to learn, and naught but play!
Go, get thee to thy task. Conquer or die!
1t must be learned. Learn it then, patiently.
No help! Nay, It's not 50!
Though human help be far, thy God Is nigh
Who feeds the ravens hears His ehildrens cry,
He's near thee, wheresoeer thy footsteps roam,
And He viii guide thee light thee, help thee home

Rules for Writers Of the Press.

"Causeur" knows that he will deserve
and win the thanks of all managing edi-
tors if he can but impress these few sim
pie rules upon the minds of those who
write occasionally for. the press:
Write upon one side of the leaf only.
Whyl Because it is often necessary to
cut the pages into "takes'' for the com
positors, and this cannot be done when
both sides are written upon.
Write clearly and distinctly, being
particularly careful in the matter OF
proper names and words from foreign
languages Whyl Because you have
no right to ask either editor or compos-
itor to waste his time puzzling out the
results of your selfish carelessness.
Don't write in microscopic hand.
Whyl Because the compositor has to
read it across his case at distance of
nearly two feet. Also, because the edi-
tor often wants to make additions and
other changes.
Don't begin at the very top of the
first page. Whyl Because if you have
written head for your article, the edi
tor will probably want to change it, and
if you have not---which is the better
way-he must write one Besides, he
wants room in which to write instruc-
tions to the printer as to the type to be
used, when and where the proof is to be
sent, etc.
Never roll your manuscript. Whyl
Because it maddens and exasperates
everyone who touches it-editor, COM
positor and proof reader
Be brief. Whyl Because people
don't read long stories. The number of
readers which any two articles have is
inversely p-oportioned to the square of
their respective lengths. That is, a half
column article is read by four times as
many peopls as one of double that length.
Have the fear of waste basket con-
stantly before your eyes. Whyl Be-
cause it will often happen that the edi-
tor will want to communicate with you,
and because he needs to know the
writer's name at guarantee Of good
faith. If you use pseudonym or
initials, write your own name and ai-
dress below it. 1t will never be divulged.
"These precepts In thy memory keep"
and for fear you might forget them, cut
them out and put them where you can
readily run through them when tempted
to spill innocent ink.

BALTIMORE, Mn, April 2.-Mary Arnold,
Irene Howard and Mary Vogeman were ar
rested last evening and committed in de-
fault of $500 each on the charge of per-
suading Louisa Walker, sixteen years of
age, to become an inmate of house of ill
fame. The facts developed at the examina-
ton exhibit case of depravity almost un-
paralleled. The girl had been employed at
a hotel as domestic and becoming dis
abled by an accident was compelled to re-
turn home, from whence she was persuaded
to a low den on Canton avenue. The pro-
prietress refused to receive her without
the consent of her mother. The mother
agreed to the daughters prostitution for a
consideration of $4, which was divided be-
tween herself and the woman who first pro-
posed it. The girl was arrested on Il charge
of vagrancy.
