HEIGHT THE ORDER OF THE
DAY.

A New York letter says: "Real
estate continues active and some
further large transactions have ia
ken place, though buyers and sellers
are rather reticent about the terms.
A Mr.. Hale, of Boston, has purchas-
ed the northwest corner of Broat
way and Duane street for $3.50, 100,
and has notified all the tenants that
they must be out by the lst of May
as he intends to tear down the
building in order to make way for
a loftier one. Height now seems to
be the order of the day. Land is so
dear and taxes SO high that it no
longer pays to build five or six stor-
les high. eight or ten story edi>
fees are not uncommon, and ere
long, as things are going, even
these will probably be looked upon
rs behind the Tim $. The elevator
system, which practically does away
with the stairways, has done much
to encourge this new departure"

vlded that persons melting to murder we're
guilty Of misdemeanor and were liable to

minimum term of three wears, or two years.
I'm Prlsonment with hard labor. It would be
scandal to justice fthe act was not enforced
against person connected with the publish
ing OF such articles. Most was remanded to
jail and was refused bail. Notwithstanding
The arrest Of Most the socialists who directed
the Fre'heit resolved that the journal shall re-
appear. A new Office has been selected and new
type purchased. Wilhelm Martin, one of the
staff elected from the premises, has undertaken
the publication of the Freiheit. The Nc,us
doubts the expediency OF the prosecution and
expresses the opinion that the German gov
eminent is the instigation of the proceedings.
Justice 81. Schwab, the prominent
New York socialist, has telegraphed Most to
resist the tyranny of the British government
and notifying him that he can draw on the

Political Troubles =, Florida.

The United States marshal at Jack
sonville, Florida, telegraphs to the State De-
partment at Washington, that he has Sc
cured one hundred and thirty indictments
against persons in that state for election
frauds rss-retrated at the November election.
He has succeeded in arresting and placing I'M
Ter satisfactory bonds over half of them, and
hopes to find them all soon. Some of them
who know that indictments are pending
against them threaten to make forcible resist
ance to arrest. The matter of their apprehen-
sion has to be judiciously managed, because
the government does not furnish force enough
to cope with the red-shirt organizations that
in some counties would fight before they
would permit deputy to arrest one of their
number, if they knew the attempt was to be
made. The crimes of which these men have
been guilty are Of the most heinous character,
and amount to practical abolition of free
speech and free ballot in the communities
which they rule through the terror of their
violent practices. They have openly carried
off ballot boxes, boosted of making sworn re-
turns contrary to the facts, and threatened
death at the polls. They have, in some in
stances, placed distractions around the polls
to prevent the voters from approaching with
sufficient freedom to deposit their ballot.

SURPRISING a Socialist.

Herr Most, editor Of the London

publication OF a libel on the late Gar, and
urging the people to commit murder outside of
her Majesty's dominions. In opening the
case the prosecutor SAID there was no wish to
interfere with the freedom of the press, and
that Most had the right to publish anything
British subject might publish. He then read
an article in the Frciheit OF the 18th of March.
Some persons applauded passage lauding the
murder of the Car, and were elected It was
shown that the article contained direct in

who was described as ErewAite, grape-shot

207 7-100 pounds against PIP $500 last year.
Yield of lard, 3565-1oo pounds against36 62-1Oo

A Verdict for SANDER.

The case of Alice A. Simmons nee
Early, against the Chicago Times for wilful
defamation of character, was decided
on final hearing, in verdict of $500, for the
plaintiff. Ona previous trial the plaintiff was
awarded $25, 900, but was set aside by the Su-
preme Court. The proprietor of the Times,
W. F. Story, once offered 5000 to comprom.
Use. In 1874 the Times published scandalous
article which purported to relate certain es-
capades of Alice A. Early, a daughter of John
Early, state Senator, living at Rockford,
with lawyer of that place named Crawford.
The story was false in toto, and within ten
days the paper published full retraction,
stating that it had been led into its mistake by
forged letters. A suit for $5O, 900 was at cnce
begun and has been before the courts ever
since.
