HE UNDERSTOOD THE BUSINESS.

DOOA4NA4EOkOs
A few days ago poor friendless lad
might have been seen wandering along
the streets looking for employment.
He presently halted in front Of
butcher shop, and walking boldly up to
the proprietor asked for a job. There
was something in the young mans
frank, honest countenance which struck
the proprietor favorably.
Not afraid of hard work ?'' he
asked.
"No,' responded the lad, with a
trembling voice: 81 have supported
my mother and two sisters for five long
years by hard work.
He was put on trial at S. week
mauling leathery beef, and his sturdy
frame and healthy constitution came
in good play. One day an old lady
came in to get some beef and the
proprietor told him to attend to the
customer.
E" A tenderloin steak if you please"
said she.
Here is a cut that nobody but the
best families get" +" responded the boy
smilingly, as he sliced off four pounds
of tough round and cast it with a heavy
hand on the scales, jamming it down
with a quick, dexterous movement
until the indicator marked six pounds.
Then he snatched it off before the
delicate machinery, used to weigh beef,
had time to recoi.
"Six pounds and half, madam
he said, looking her square in the face
with his clear blue eyes.
The proprietor of that stand called
him in that night, remarked that he
had watched his course carefully, and,
as a reward for his quick, compre-
hensiye grasp Of the business he would
raise his salary to S25 a week. This
shows the advantage of doing every
thing well, and when the boys mother
back in New Jersey hears Of his sue
cess, there will be joy in that house

A Corrupt Judge.

The New York papers Of yesterday
contain numerous letters written by
Judge Westbrook TO an attorney in a
case pending in his court In Sch points
are suggested and plans mark out by
which he can win his case. II isa shame
full exposure Of judicial corruption, and
admits of no explanation. Yet il was all
in behalf of as powerful a litigant as Mr..
Jay Gould, and the Judges letters were
addressed to as respectable lawyer as
Mr.. Wager Swayne. There has been
nothing like it since the Albany and Sus-
quehanna litigation, when a member of
the great Adams family in the North
american ReUiew defended corrupt con-
duct by judge on the ground that some
times Justice must lay down her scales
and take up the sword" The present
case was one which involved deals in ele-
waited railway stocks. Notwithstanding
the fact that each of the leading dailes
p ublished the disgraceful letters referred
10, the Times alone makes editorial COM
ment on them, Is this because the World,
Herald, Sun, and Tribune have such conf
dence in the justice of Mr.. Gould's claims
that they are willing to see the Judge be-
fore whom his cases are tried instructing
his lawyer how TO try them? Mr.. Gould
is indeed q power in the land.

Sadly our Democratic morning neigh
Dor mourns over the passage of the ten
years Chinese bill by Republican Con-
gress. Bitterly it reproaches its party
friends in Congress for not having de-
feated the measure by tactics. "The
first effect Of the law" says the Post,
"will be the re-establishment of the po-
litical equilibrium on the Pacific Slope"
What was lost there by the veto of the
twenty-years' bill the Post mournfully
declares, twill be won back again by the
enactment, by Republican Congress and
Republican President, Of a law putting
the period of probation at ten years."
The Post leaves the future to determine
whether Democratic Congressman "can,
in view of these results, congratulate
themselves on the manner in which they
have turned great political issue to par
tisan account"
We guess it will hurt them. The Demo
cratic Congressman who say that Chinese
Immigration is a curse TO the laboring
people certainly missed it when they al
lowed an act to pass restricting it unless
they could get the credit of it. What is
the use of helping the people unless it
can be turned to partisan account?"

cratic party in their afIliction.

and sympuIhies of the United States had been
more closely drawn in the direction of Peru The
success Of Ghi was thus p,aStcqly the success Of

Senator Rlair and Pnrn.

The testimony of Senator Blair is sug-
gestive of very active, imaginative, and
impressiblemind Between the magnetic
Blaine, who had policy, and the mag
netic Shipherd, who had a company, the
large-hearted New Hampshire Senator
was tossed with sympathy for Peru, and
comforted with hopes for her deliverance.
The dismemberment Of Peru upon terms
not favorable to Landreau) was protested
against by Mr. Blaine, and Mr.. Shipherd
thought that the best way to help
Peru WAS TO secure her recognition
of the Cochet claim of $l,0O0,O00,O00,
which, once secured, would enable the
owners thereof to raise SS0,0OO,000 and
take her out of pawn to Chilli. This
would have cost Peru $970,000,000 more
than to have paid the $30,OO0,0O0 directly
to her enemy. This was the Shipherd
scheme, and Mr. Blair was for time
his attorney. Mr. Blair was not to blame
for Peru's distress, nor for the hard con-
ditions upon which Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Shipherd, respectively, proposed TO extri-
cate her. We sincerely regret that he
ever attempted to practice his benevo-
ience under such advisers, We have
heard Of man promising TO stand to Il
friends back until the caving in of that
friends chest, but we never before heard
of saving nation from amputation by
disemboweling her. Yet this last was
what Shipherd offered.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

CONGRESS should give heed to the gem
eral and earnest desire for national
bankrupt law.
"about n billion dollars" Why should
there have been fuss over mere trifie
of "a billion or SOP"
ONE of the st. Louis papers speaks 70
the late DIR. John Il. Hodgen as the " first
citizen of Missouri" and the tribute is
fairly due TO the memory of the great
physician and scientist But there are
many communities in that State in which
the name of Jesse James will be revered
long after the fame of Professor Hodgen
is forgotten.
The proposition of the Dominion gov
ernment to establish agencies in the
United States for the purpose of inducing
homesick Canadians to go back to Canada
is stretch of paternal care that should
not meet with opposition. While we are
gathering in immigrants at the rate of
about million year we need not care
to hold on to any who "want to go home"
The four homes for disabled volunteer
soldiers, situated respectively mt DAYTON,
Ohio; Milwaukee, Wis; Augusta, Me-,
and Hampton, Va, are supplied with
bands of music, theaters, billiard and
bowling-rooms, Libraries, smoking-rooms,
&c. 1t is very strange that the regular
Soldiers Home, with its large fund, has
none of these needful means of amusing
the veterans,
The Naval committees of Congress
ought to be able to get hint from the
ocean mail steamship Alaska, which man
ages to cover the distance from New
York TO Queenstown in six days twenty
one hours and forty-six minutes If we
had only such a vessel, carrying only
one riAed breach-oading gun, She would
be worth more for offensive purposes
than all our present Navy.

The Crlme I'm Dnhlin.


The murder of Lord Cavendish, the
new Chief Secretary of Ireland, just as
no was entering upon the administration
of the friendly policy of the Gladstone
Ministry in that unhappy country, makes
the British Empire tremble and appalls
mankind. It is a mystery which few
days may solve, and most likely will.
1t is hardly possible that men could so
bathe themselves in the blood of their
victims and escape in broad daylight.
1t is not to be believed that the crime
Will be found the work of those who
were to benefit by the conciliatory policy
OF Mr.. Gladstone. No Land Lacquer
could have had any motive for staying
the man 10 whom Mr. Forster had just
given way. The anger was all from the
other side. Gladstones new departure,
Forster's resignation, and the release of
Parnell, Dayitt, and their compatriots,
had thrilled Ireland with new hope
and filed her enemies with rage.
If it were necessary TO find political
reasons for the butchery of this messen-
ger of peace to Ireland we should look
rather to the haters of Gladstone and all
his works than to the followers of Par
nell, the leader TO whom the Tory party
say Gladstone has surrendered the gov
ernment of the island. If there is Nihil-
ism in Ireland it is as much under the
ban of the League as of the government,
and base would be the effort TO hold q
whole people guilty of its crimes.
We hope that the brutal assassins will
be found to be what the situation would
naturally suggest, viz; robbers, who fled
before econsummating the robbery through
that fe ar which makes each bush appear
an officer. The time of the tragedy and
the station of the victims should not be
allowed alone to raise the presumption
of a political assassination. The skill of
the police and of the detective force of
the British government will be likely to
bring out the truth of this monstrous
crime. Meanwhile all good men the
world over will lament the terrible fate
of Lord Cavendish and his companion,
the old Under Secretary, against whom
no man had cause to raise q violent
hand.
