o his disregard of the law and plat

lOTuls requiring lhft SA-0oiNtNiS "
given preference in appointments
are not understood, the wailings In
his behalf may arouse some sympa-
thy. IF it follows, however, that
two or three worthy poor, old vet
Grams become deputy collectors in
place of as many of his non-soldier
appointees, the justice of it will i'm
mediately be recognized everywhere.

date for President in 1884, strike
cruelty upon the Madison Democrat.
1t has but one Democratic idea, and
that is free trade. Tilden amt ex-
actly that kind Of Democrat, APP
parently, and to be forced to swal-
low him will be a serious strain upon
the stomachs of the "tariff for reve-

being manned by men who are not
members of the brotherhood. Bross
and two or three assistants have

strikers,-and disposition is mani

nit to any inconvenience in the in
terest of the men. All evidence
agree that the Western Union Tele.
graph Co. is the worst monopoly of
the age, and that the operators may
succeed in compelling Gould and
his crew of priyates to deal more
Justly with them is earnestly hoped
by all lovers of equity.
The story that Frank A Flower,
Chief of the Bureau of Labor Sta

any arrangement for a wrestling
match between Jack Carkeek and
Duncan Ross is regarded here as

wrestling with the complex and ar
duous duties of his official position,
to give attention to sporting matters.
