claiming, that the moral se1ti-
mcnt" of the community holds
him guiltless on other grounds,
but if so it only proves anew that the
conservative judgment of the law is
better than the hot-blooqed decision Of
the Community" The judge who dis
charged the accused put his action on no
such sandy foundation as that he had
avenged his I" family HONOR" but upon
the broad, natural and legal principle of
the right of self-defense.
A FEW of the revolutionary societies Of
France are known under the suggestive
titles of La tennessee Anarchist, La Jen-
nessee Internationale, the Panther of Bat
ingnolles, the Torch of Belleville, the
Nitro Glycerine club, the Avant Garde,
the Vengeance and the Insurgents. They
seem to more than size up to 1reland's re
constructive organizations, which thing
O'Donovan Rosa needs to observe.
A CONTEST of beauty has just been ended
in Pittsburgh, the question having arisen
as to who was the prettiest, Mrs. Langtry.
Minnie Palmer, Or Queen Dinah, whose
maiu charm was the perfection of her
midnight complexion. A ballot box was
placed at convenient situation, passers-
by cast in their written preferences, and
returns showed that Minnie was consider
ed as the most beautiful by large ma
jority.
THE New York Herald and Graphic
having tried to pick up the SIN for its
outrage on good English in using the ex
pcssion "a tinker's dam,' the Sun
promptly informs them that "a tinker's
dam is dam of dough or other suitable
material, constructed by tinker to con:
fine his molten solder to the business at
hand and that, inasmuch as when a
tinker's darn has once served its purpose
it possesses little or no CONNER cial value,
the phrase has come to be frequently
used and almost universally understood
synonyme for worthlessness."
4 PITTSBURGH paper asserts, with pro-
testations of truthfulness, that an order
has been received by glass man ufacturers
of that city from West India firm for a
glass urn in which to deposit tho remains
of Columbus. Somebody might credit
this tale if the journal did not further
state that the discoverer's ashes are to be
exhibited over the world in the most ap.
proved method of modern exhibitions.
Many tales have been thrust upon a
patient humanity during the four hun
dred years since Columbus first trod upon
our fair land, and Pittsburgh has long
been honored as the city of smoke and
brilliant imagination.
THE New York World, determined to
prove that the Vanderbilt ball was great
charity to the working people, among
whom the monay that it cost was event.
ually distributed, has sent its reporters
nosing around to find ont and inform it's
readers all tue details Of the expenses of
hosts and guests. 1t figures out that tho
gentlemen's dresses, with remarkable
uniformity, cost s16O each and the ladies
$3.50, making a total for the costumes of
$l55, 730. The florist who used Il, 900 red
| roses as one item in decorations of more
than royal grandeur had bill Of $40. 600
and altogether, the World is rejoiced to
assure its readers that the ball put $3.50,
600 into circulation among the working
and tradespeople.
A MIR. MCGAHEY, an intelligent CORES
pondent Of the Ledger, who has become
''tired of hearing this talk about the
pauper labor of Europe" let's in some
light upon facts within his observation OF
the labor system in Pennsylvania to show
that while in England children between
ten and thirteen years of age are worked
only twenty eight hours week, such
children are worked in Pennsylvania
seventy hours a week. He asserts that
while in England the health of young
children employed in factories is protected
by the law, in Pennsylvania it is left at the
mercy Of the employers, He asserts that
while the English endeavor to and do
educate their children employed in factor
les, the Pennsylvania system deprives
them of a secondary school education. ,.
"Englard is turning out the best opera
tives in the world, and the reason is that
their law allows the children opportunity
TOR education and instruction in the
technical schools, and their operatives
thus combine practical with theoretical
knowledge. The younger race of English
men now coming to this country are
exceptionally well-equipped and they
command excellent wages. In Griswold's q
mills those young Yorkshire bosses make
from s25 to s30a week and they deserve it,
too, for they understand their business
thoroughly. How eau we Americans
