IT is a curious circumstance that while
the guns of the army and navy of the United
States by order of the president were re-
spectfully saluting the British flag at York
town, and government was passing resolu-
tions of profound respect for the illustri-
Gus sovereign and gracious lady, who sits
upon the British throne" the mayors of St.
Louis and Chicago were sympathizing with
the Irish people and denouncing the brutal
government which oppressed them.

ARuuaway Passenger Train

At Stewart, Mimi, on the line of the Hast
ings & Dakota railroad, while passengers, con-
ductors, engineer and trainmen were all at din
ner, from some cause not explained the west
bound train started off of itself with no one in
charge Engineer, conductor and trainmen
started in pursuit at once, and as the train
backed off slowly up the grade hopes were en-
tertained that the engineer, who had the lead,
would be able to reach his engine; but he was
unable to do go. A hand car, manned by six
men, started off rapidly in pursuit and over
took the train four miles east of the village, no
damage being done except to those who ran
through the rain and mud in pursuit of the
backing train. Great fears were entertained
that it might continue its wild flight and collide
with the freight at Brownton, and every one
breathed easier when they knew that all was
safe.

THE star-route investigations, Postmas-
ter General James says, were really set in
motion by the newspaper correspondents,
who had, in their investigations, gathered
together large amount of facts which they
furnished bin in tabulated form. This is
a handsome admission in view of the fact
that high officials are not apt to render much
credit to the newspaper press.

THE general convention of the Univer-
salist church. lately decided by
vote that all parishes in the different states
should convey their church properties to
their respective state conventions, and
where no state convention exists, then to
to the general convention. 1t is desired
thereby to secure all the church property
to the permanent control and use of Uni
versalism. This may be termed new de-
parture in Professionalism. Whether it will
tend to secure the object, or the reverse,
time will tell.

The lessons of Garfield's death were e

pounded most eloquently in the press, pull
pit and forum, in multitudinous ways, but
are likely to be soon forgotten by the poll
tioians, if judgment may be formed from
the sudden revival of the strife for office
at Washington. During Garfeld's illness
and until his remains were deposited in the
tomb, there was comparative quiet, but
now the craze for office has returned, and
nothing is now heard from Washington but
the incessant gabble of the placemen.

The wife of Rev. E. S. Bowdish, an ex-min-
lister of Minneapolis, has brought suit for di-
vorce, in which she alleges that the defendant
has treated her in cruel manner and that in
his martial relations he was beastly beyond all
endurance, and has caused her much physical
and mental suffering through his unrestrained
passions. In the years between 1870 and the
commencement of this action he has repeatedly
struck, kicked and beaten the plaintiff, int1icl-
ing injuries from which she now bears ts
scars, simply because she would not yield 10
his brutal demands. The acts of cruelty al
legged were committed at Princeton, Elk River,
Anoka and Minneapolis and cover period

gale broke on the vessel when about two days

Another sailor, stricken with paralysis and

Judge Valiant is one of our most highly re-
spected citizens, and his decision is endorced
by the entire community. The details of
the assault by Love on the wife of Lanier are
entirely unfit for publication 1t appears at
the trial that Love was an unsuccessful suitor,
and persecuted the lady before her marriage,
and after that event sought the revenge of
blasting her character. In thus discharging the
prisoner, Judge Valiant said I have been
practcing lawyer for more than twenty years,
and have never seen or read of such case as
this. There is no law to which the defendent
in case like this could appeal. If any one in
position like that occupied by him, sued for

what or any other man of honor would, and I,
therefore, discharge the prisoner and bid him

Attorney General MacVeagh has rendered
an opinion that the appropriation of $175, 600

under the authority of the war department in
stead OF the department Of the interior, as

also that the decision of the secretary of the
treasury as to the legality Of warrants and re-
QUESTIONS is binding on the first controller.
The decision, which has been adopted by the
department completely upsets the recent opin-
ions of First Controller Lawrence on those
points.
MIR. MacVeagh, in alluding to the assertion
that he was deserting the star route cases be-
cause he finds them to be weak and likely to
fail, said that the cases might fail, but it would
not be from lack of great rascality. There
would be evidence enough to send dozen men to
the penitentisry, but it would require the whole
weight of the administration to be thrown in fa-
Yor of conviction, if it was expected to overcome
the influence brought to bear by the accused
to secure acquittal. If merely left to take their
course, if the administration failed to take an
interest and stood inactive, the chances were in
favor of the failure of justice.
