The New York Herald claims to be
the most independent political jour
nal published in the United States.
In the present campaign in New York
State it inclined toward the Republic
ans until it discovered that jay Gould
controlled the State Convention and
that fraud was resorted to to nomi-
nate Folger for Governor, though he
was not party to the fraud. 1t now
says:
Seeing clearly through what con-
flicts with the wealth, the power, the
selfshness, the greed, the ambition,
and the knavery of Eonopolists- both
chartered and indi, idual monopolists
and their political dependents, the
State Of New York is destined speedi-
y to pass, the Herald does not delay
to choose its side of this encounter
1t Chooses the side OF tho people, aLo
therefore advocates unreservedly the
election of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.
Hill in preference to Mr.. FoIgsr anG
Mr.. Carpenter. We can conceive O
circumstances under which Mr.. Fol
ger would be trustworthy Governor
but we do not recognize these circum
stances in the conditions of his pres
ent candidacy"
The Tribune, Times and Post, hith
erto the three leading Republican pa
pers of New York, do not support Fol
ger, neither does George William Cur

around American Falls, on Snake river
during the Summer, and had incurred
the enmity of the law abiding citizens,
a number of whom resolved to run

and given until 8 O'Clock to leave.
Suspicion rested upon them of having
murdered the Chinaman who was found
dead in his cabin Sunday morning
They responded to the citizens demand
to leave by saying that they would not
that there were not men enough at
American Falls to make them leave,

crowd. The citizens then procured
guns and returned the FIRE, and the
desperadoes fled across the Snake riv-

the town. Returning, they met the
night watchman, who told them that
they would be hanged. They ther
fired three shots at him without effect
He replied with his revolver and woun

There was singular case up ID the
JUSTICES Court the other day, at Saw
tooth, SO the Rev. G.. w. Grannis tells
us. The question to be decided by
the Justice was whether restaurant
Keeper is justifiable in shooting man
for refusing to eat his Goldfish balls.
The judge Of the law and Justice de-
cded yes. The case was az follows.
The proprietor Of Sawtooth restau-
rant placed plate of goldfish balls on
the table Of young man, and regu.
lar boarder, who had seated himself
tor grub. The boarder was calmly
and peacefully slowing away the vict-
uals, but didn't take in any of the cod
fish balls. The restaurant keeper APP
preached him, and said in command
ing tone OF voice: "You eat them
goldfish ball!" Il don't like Goldfish
balls" replied the bearder. "You eat
them goldfish balls. l tell you'll II tell
you won't, l don't like 'em.n al tell
you once aore to eat them Goldfish
balls. If you don't I'll shoot yoa,"
and the restaurant keeper started for
his pistol. The boarder saw that he
had to do one of three things-eat
the Goldfish balls, refuse again and be
filled with leaden balls, or skip. He
skipped. just as his coat-tail was
vanishing out at the door the iratc res
taurant keeper blazed away, but miss
ed him. Tie boarder had him arrest
ed. Mr.. Grannis arrived at SawtootE
just as the trial opened, and he was
hungry enough to devour whole res
taafant at one sitting. The reverant
gentleman took circle around through
town hunting for hash house. bu
couldn't find any open. The proprie
tors were down at the trial, beins
deeply interested. When the Justice
in his dignity. decided that the pro
prietor Of a hash house was perfectI
justifiablc in shooting at a boarde
with intent to kill, for refusing to ca
, his Goldfish balls, they all threw u
their hats and hurrahed. According
to this decision Sawtooth restauran
keepers are endowed with certain III
alienable rights, among which ART
life, liberty, and the pursuit, wit
deadly weapons, of anti-codfish boarC
ers.

To the Editor of the "St. Croir Avis."
DEAR SIR!

Allow me through the medium of
your paper, to call the attention of
shipowners and other interested par
ties to the deficient state of the Light
on the Point Battery. The range Of
this Light is laid down in the sailing
directions to 8 nautical miles, but it
is doubtful if it can now be seen at
n distance of 6 miles on a clear night.
In approaching Christiansted from
the n. N. w, the Lanterns on the
Kings Wharf are generally seen
before the Point Light, notwithstand-
ing the far greater elevation Of the
latter. In coming from the n. f or
Eastward, especially from "off shore,
it is nearly impossible to determine
which is the leading Light, as the
Central Factory's lights, those on the
Kings Wharf and lights from the
Town are generally seen long before
hat on the Battery.
1t is not my intention to call at
tention now to the defects, nor to the
possible means Of remedying the
same, although l know from obser-
walton hat the light is kept in a most
careless manner, the burners of the
poorest quality and kept excessively
filthy. As we do not have a "Lisht
House Board" here, | am at a loss to
know to whom to turn, as il seems
the repeated complaints that have been
made are of no avail, further than to
brighten it up for a night, and then
relapse again into the same state OF
semi-existence. In mentioning this
matter to a gentleman, somewhat
connected with the Harbor Depart
ment, | received the answer, that the
Light was of so little Importance, that
he considered it unnecessary to do
anything about it. This however
seems not to be the case to me,
and I hope any n who has had any
experience in "making a HghP in
a critical time, will agree with me,
that the Point Battery Light is of as
much Importance as the Sandy-Hook
or Cape Cod or any other leading
light, only on a smaller scale.
1t is to be hoped that some inte-
rested party will take this matter in
hand, and bring it before the govern
ment, as I am certain that a comps
ratively small outlay would remedy
the evil.
Thanking you, MI. Editor, for your

To the Editor of the St. Croir Avis.
SIR,
May l have space for brief mention
of an agreeable entertainment given
by Mrs. Nc. Evoy ON Thursday last
at her house to a goodly gathering Of
friends and well-wishers 5?
The chief attraction amongst many
was the performance of Moli6re's play
the "Medicin malgr6 luz, by some of
the children whom she instructs in
the French language.
Two contiguous drawing-rooms
were so utilized, that the guests sat
in one while the other formed the
stage and the wide doors between
did duty as curtain. On these slid
ing back, the scene opened with
Sganarelle, the eccentric bachey0n,
and his wife, engaged in a lively
alteration, which was only terminal
ed by his Selling a faggot and beat
ing her into silence. Subsequently,
in comical style, he apologised to her
for what he termed a neeGfuI severity,
and begged her not to attacl undue
importance to a domestic incident so
natural and trivial. She accorded
forgiveness with most amiable readi-
ness, but, on his going off to his fag-
got-cutting, she declared that he
should pay for the affront.
Two servants passing at the mo-
ment in search of a physician, she
promptly conceived a plan Of revenge.
She coolly told the servants that in
the yard they would find a most skill
full doctor named SganareIle, whose
eccentricity led him to fancy wood
cutting, and to refuse professional
calls. She added hat there was only
one sure method OF %persuading him
to reveal himself-viz to put a good
beating upon him with one Of his
own iresticks !!
The servants follow her advice
to the letter; but the affair leads to
further consequences than the wife
expected, for the involuntary physi-
clan actually makes the effort to i'm
personate his imaginary character.
The ludicrous effects were admirably
represented with well sustained ami
nation by the young amateurs, to the
immense amusement of the audience,
and especial qualification Of their par
ents and friends.
1t goes without saying that the
French tongue was accurately and
huently rendered. The only wonder
was that it was accompanied by such
capital and spirited acting on the
part of little folks who have never
witnessed theatricals either private or
public.
Yours truly
ONE WHO WAS INVITED.
Christiansted, May 18th 1892.
