1t is :.oticeable that almost the only
papers IN the country which has seri-
ously sympathized with or supported the
Western Union in it's struggle with the
striking operators, are the organs of
large capitalists or great corporations,
These papers are almost without excep-
ton nearly ~powerless to influence pub
lie opinion or secure a wide constituent
cy, and they are constantly dragged
down by their known sensitiveness in
the pocket nerve. To be successful, a
newspapers opinions must pass among
intelligent people as the honest views of
honest men or one honest man.

The old theory that lsbOris a commod-
ity TO be bought ard sold at the lowest
cash prices irrespective Of the humani-
Y from which labor cannot be dissey-
cred, is beginning to bp discarded by
political economists. Gen. Walker, late
superintendent or the census, and other
%-;ters Toy take another and more hu-
name view Of the subject. 1t is demon
strated that labor is possessed ofan organ
.zing faculty and power Of resistance,
and it is argued that combinations Of la
Dor are to be tolerated so long as dan
&c rous combinations Of capital are per-
mitted and even authorized by law.

The impression prevails that beer
drinking in the United States is decreas-
ing, but such is not the fact. From the
statistics of beer as furnished by the of
fetal organ Of the brewing interests in
the United States, suggestive facts may
be cleaned. In the first place it is evil
ident that the consumption of beer in
this country is on the increase. The
a&hefo the twelve months ending May
j, this year reached the enormous ag-
greeate Of 5S7, 832, al gallons, being
an mere. se of %, 723, 500 gallons over the
preceding twelve months, or not much
below 41-2vper cent. In ten states and
territories there was a decrease in the
yNar, but to no great extent. 1t is note
worthy that most Of the falling off was
iD the south. In FIVE states and terrific
ries o o beer is brewed.

graph system has come to the front
again, and it's quite certain that a bill

late interview said: What the United

the construction Of q postal telegraph,

points and then extending ib just as we
have the mail system, as the needs of

That is what ought to be done within a
few years, beyond all question. Senator
Edmunds and other friends of the posta-
telegraph, Goes not favor buying oui
any telegraph company, but wants the
government to build IT'S own lines. On
this point, HeEator Sherman says: 'sThe

Three Notable Murders.

The county of Fairfield, in the State
of Connecticut, is remarkable for the
three peculiarly shocking murders that
have been committed within its borders
in the last eight years. The first on the
record is that of man named Latin,
who, having betrayed working girl
under promise of marriage, and being
threatened by her with arrest, induced
her to meet him one evening in lonely
spot beside a stream only few inches
deep, and deliberately held her face un-
der water till she was drowned. He
was the first prisoner who availed him.
self of new law allowing the accused
person, if he chose, to be tried by two
judges instead of a jury. Judges San
ford and Beasley found him guilty of
murder in the second degree, and sem
fenced him to Imprisonment for life.
William Bucholtz was the next person
accused of a terrible murder in Fairfield
county. He engaged himself as SER
want to an old farmer, who had the &C.
centric habit of carrying about 100000
in belt around his waist. Bucholtz,
who accepted small salary, agreed al
ways to walk behind the farmer and
never beside him. He also stipulated
not to resist when his master saw fit to
kick and cuff him. One evening the
farmer, returning from New York, gave
Bucholtz, who met him at the station, a
new AK and two bricks, and telling him
to follow at a respectful distance, start
ed across a lonely country for his home.
tie never reached it. Whether the
bricks were returned is not known, but
the blade of the ak was buried in the
farmers head. He was dead when as
sistance arrived, and Bucholtz said he
and his employer had been attacked by
tramps, but the money was found buried
under barn, and the crime was clearly
traced to the servant After two trials

second degree, and he was sent to join
Latin in the prison at Wethersfield.
The two cases referred to were tried
in the county courthouse at Bridgeport.

may be, to return verdict OF murder

judgment, the testimonial evidence is

A Museum Chinaman Investigated by a
Real Chinaman.

Moy Po, a bright-faced, intelligent
Chinaman, living in Philadelphia, stroll
ed into the Dime Museum for an hours
enjoyment. After taking long look
at the wonderful stomach of the fat boy
he approached the elevated platform on
which sat Che Nah, the Chinese dwarf.
Che Nah did not exhibit any extraordi-

tryman. He did not, as several specta-
tors thought he would, shrek out

queried the dwarf, with a miniature
smile

The dwarf made no reply to this very

The Deserted Claim.

Up where the snow shines pure and white
On the peaks that point to the summer sky,
Up in the gulch by the evening light
j saw, as we Travelled slowly by,
A claim deserted and left alone,
A shaft sunk in the mountain side,
roofess CABIN of logs rough hewn,
Where some one had labored till hope had
died.
And later ON. when our camp was made,
And the white tents pitched for another
night,
While the pine trees weirdly tossed and swayed
In the CHEEKY glow of our camp fire light,
When merry voices rang on the air,
And smiling faces flashed in and out
/ thought of that cabin rude and bare,
OF its owner, who labored in hope and doubt.
He had come, perhaps, from some eastern
For speedy wealth to this western clime
And homesiek and weary, and all alone,
He had faithfully toiled for some friendly
sign,
deep,
And the coyote cries the night hours drear;
There are unknown footsteps that softly
And the voice of the burro in kindly cheer.
Still he dreamed as others had done before
AS others shall do in the days to come
OF finding wealth in unbounded store,
And joyfully bearing his treasure home;
But fortune is chary, when all is told
Her smiles are the hardest on earth to gain,
And where one is favored with shining gold
A thousand others may toll in vain.
While the welcome evening meal is spread,
And the sound of the river comes soft and low,
And the stars shine brilliantly overhead
For my heart is saddened day by day
We pass in sunshine or dripping rain,
That frequent road mark upon our way,
A deserted, desolate mining claim.

The Check on a Rich Young Man,

Arthur Padelford, young m an of
Philadelphia, whose estate is worth
$500, 900. asked the court to-day to al
low him to invest $4,000 of his own
money in the purchase of a yacht, and
was regretfully refused. Mr.. Padel-
ford is about twenty-five years old and
unmarried.
His income is about $4,000 He him.
self had put the estate in trust, SO that
he might be less vulnerable to the
temptations which beset young men
about town with large fortunes and
nothing to do. His health is failing.
and his physician advised him to be as
much at sea as possible. He was per-
mitted by the terms of the trust to build
a house in this city and another at New
port. But as he has not got married,
and did not contemplate marriage, he
did not wish to be burdened with the
establishments, and did not set them
up.
The cost of keeping a yacht, the peti-
ton set out. would be about $1,000 q
year, and the whole cost of living upon
the sea would be much less, he said,
than the expense of fashionable life on
land. The court regretted that it had
not the authority, under the terms of
the trust, to grant the petition. .-Ez. :,
