The embarrassment under which the business
interests of the country are laboring at present,
owing to the telegraph strike, is indicated by
the action of the Produce Exchange yesterday.
A resolution was adopted directing that a
committee should be appointed to see if indie
pendent telegraph lines could not be erected
throughout the country for the joint use of the
different exchanges. This suggestion elected
marked approval from many members. The
success of lines established by the st. Louis
and the Milwaukee exchanges was commented
upon as showing that the scheme was feast

any hope that they would be regarded worthy
of consideration by intelligent authorizes
| The strongest evidences for the prosecution
was the story of boy who has been shown te
be phenomenal liar. Aside from this, how
ever, there were strong d priori reasons against
| the truth of the accusation. 1t was charged
that these Jews killed the girl and mixed her
blood in their Passover bread. The idea IL
utterly abhprrent to the Jewish ritual and coll
trary to their law, which forbade Hebrews to
eat blood of any kind, and declared that even
to touch the dead was unclean. The so-called
Christians who supported the charge ought 10
be called to strict account by the Church they
have disgraced.
II is so short time -only two years-since
Spain began to paw her own debts, that King
Alfonso's government ought not to be too lnpa-
tent when other nations whose finances are
more or less dsordered, fail to meet their 00ll-
cations promptly. The report comes from Mon-
terey that Spain is about to sever diplomatic
relations with Mexico because the latter has
repudiated the debt due Castilian bondholders
This is probably premature at least. Mexico Is
anxious to take her place among solvent and
respectable nations, and lately of her own accord
made proposals to settle her debts. England
and Spain are both creditors; but it is natural
enough that for commercial reasons Mexico
should be anxious to settle with the British
creditors first. A satisfactory arrangement
with the English Government would hasten an
arrangement with all others. There Is n hitch
ut present in the arrangements between Lon
don and Mexico, and if at such a time Spain
should withdraw her Minister in a huff she
would be doing twpfold injury to her chances
of an advantageous settlement.
The trouble between the cigar makers and
their old employers seems about to take a turn
which can hardly fail to strike the Manufac-
turers' Union as the height of ingratitudc.
The tobacco manufacturers, who for some time
have shown a commendable Willingness to sub
nit all troubles bel ween themselves and their
employees TO arbitration, recently ordered lock-
out rather than comply with the demands OF
the Progressive Union that certain IDterna-
tional Union men should be dismissed from the
factory of Gutenberg Brothers. They
thought that it was only fair that these men,
who had stood by the firm when the Progress
i've Union men went on strike, should not no
punished for their faithlulness. But now, it
seems the International Union thinks of join
ing forces with its old enemy the Progressive
Union, lest the manufacturers should get too
much advantage out of the present situation
1t is not clear, however, in case Of peace be-
tween the two unions, what is to be the LOT of
the men in the Gutenberg shop. AS to the en-
ployers, the only interests they will be inclined
to look after, benceforth, will he their own.

did not mean to bear any mOre blame for send
ing Irish pauners 60 this country than was alb
solutely unavoidable. Her authorities have
apparently been making inquiry into the cases
of those who have been returned to them, and
the result Is that the United States Treasury
Department has been asked to explain why
three immigrants who had friends here wore
sent back. Undoubtedly the Emigration
Commissioners, to whom the matter will be
referred, can give sufficient reason for their
action. The unsupported assertions of the
paupers that they have friends hero certainly
cannot bs accepted by the Castle Garden
authorities If the friends do not receiy Q or
send for the poor-house refugees, back they
should go.
Probably there is no work of public improve
ment going on in this country which is more
sharply criticised than the jetty system in the
South Pass of the Mississippi River. Its
friends declare that it is entirely successful;
ats opponents protest that il is utterly worth
less and Is really an obstacle in the way of
navigation. The last report Of the Govern
ments engineer. however, sustains all that has
been said In favor Of the system. Between the
jetties there is a channel 81 feet deep, and the
least width of the 30-foot channel is 80 feet.
From the Gulf to the main river a passage is
now afforded 100 feet broad and 26 feet in
depth in the shallowest spot. Moreover, no
complaints come from the people of New
Orleans who are most vitally interested in the
work. These facts weigh heavily against the
assertion that the system obstructs navigation.
The collapse Of the remarkable trial of ten
Jews in Hungary for the alleged murder Of a
Christian girl will bring feeling of relief to
all persons who have paid attention to the
monstrous proceeding. 1t seems incredible
that In this age, In country which calls itself
civilized and Christian, such charges should
have been made by intelligent beings with

Effect of a Kiss in the Wrong Place.

A pretty girl presented herself the other
day AT clinic in one of the hospitals in Wen
ma and asked to be examined, explaining that
she had suddenly become deaf in one ear,
and none of her friends could account for the
unexpected atfiiction. Professor Gruber
kindly replied that he would see what he
could do, and accordingly began to question
he's as to the circumstances Immediately at
tending the appearance Of her deafness. At
ter much hesitation, and with many bushes.
or rather one prolonged blush. the girl a, last
confessed that when her lover returned after
long absence he took her in his arms, and
pressed his mouth to her ear, conferred upon
that organ most intense ana vigorous kiss.
AT that intsant she felt sharp pain and had
bee ndeaf ever since. The professor made
an examination and found that the drum
of the ear had actually been ulpiured. and
there is no reason 10 doubt that the kiss did
it. The only consolation suggested after re-
cording this painful accident is that il need
never be repeated, if ardent lovers win only
remember that kind providence has proyid-
ed more kissable place than the ear, and one
which no amount OF osculatory demonstra-
ton has ever been known 10 iaiure.

OUR LAREDO LETTER.

Special Correspondence of the Evening Light.
Our feast has been very near a failure:
times being dull, weather had and money
scarce, the cause.
1t is an impossibility TO collect money. [
saw business man thzt said he had started
out with SIS in bills and had collected two
dollars. Hard times are looked for until
some RAILROAD starts.
The man James Alexander who was beat
to death in Laredo, Mexico, was not looked
after as Joe Streeter was. He was hauled TO
the grave in a one-mule cart, rolled up in a
canvass cloth, his feet dangling out behind as
though he was a beef being taken to the
butchers stall. II seems that no one took
any interest in the burial of the unfortunate
man; no effort was made TO try and find out
who perpetrated the murder. This is the
second murder that has occurred in Laredo,
Mexico, in the last ten days of Americans
The question is asked "What protection has
American citizens ?" 1t will not be long be-
fore An American can be murdered with inn
punity in day time on the streets and nothing
done. Is it not the duty Of an American con-
sui to try and ind out the reason why his
countrymen are butchered as if they were
| beasts.
Many stock buyers in both Laredos. some
after cattle, some after sheep and horse sto OK.
Stock men come down here with the mistaken
idea that they can get stock at their own fig
ures, and they get fooled and go back and
| say there is no stock to sell, which is a great
mistake. Plenty Of stock can be had if buy
ers will pay for them; the day has been when
stock could be bought for mere nothing, the
people are now more enlightened
Several watches have been stolen from our
citizens in the last few days; the light fingered
gentry are getting holder as the feast draws 10
