The Railroad Strike.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-THE sheriff
swore in alb ut thirty deputy sheriffS
this morning, and distributed them in
the different railroad yards in East St.
Louis. Seven United States deputy
1narshalS are also on the ground, but
they are specially assigned to the Ohio
Il Mississippi yards, that road being
under the protection of the United
States court. In the Cairo Short Line
yard one man was assaulted, and all
other new men in that yard were
driven out by the strikers, but after
the deputy sheriffs made their appear
anee the strikers retired and the new
meh reSumed work. ALI the roads
are working small forces. made up
mostly of employees of other depart
mentS; but trains move slowly, e&-
cept on the Ohio & Mississippi road,
where the USUAL work is being done
under protection and where there is
nearly full force. On this side of
the river the situation is much the
same as in East st. Louis, except that
there are no special officers on duty.
Clerks and other employees are doing
some work, and perishable freight is
being moved reasonably well, but
there is little done in the yards. The
railroad managers had a meeting this
forenoon, but it is impossible to aScer-
tain their action. The strikers assert
that the yardmen in Indianapolis, Gin
cinnati and Pittsburg will strike
within a week, and their demand will
be the same as that made here, viz:
Chicago standard.

Mr.. FRANK HATToN, editor of the
Washington Republican, is sending
circulars to postmasters throughout
the country setting forth the merits
of his journal, among which are the
fact that it contains each week all ap-
pointments, promotions, assignments
and dismissals in all branches of the
government. AS Mr.. Hatton, when
he has finished his daily editorial Ia
bors, condescends to exc out his
scanty income and serve his country
by acting as first assistant postmaster
general, the average postmaster knows
that if he does not subscribe
his name will help to swell the list of
dismissals, and so he humbly obeys
the suggestion in the circular, ga lit
tie effort on your part will secure a
handsome club at your office; get up
club of at least ten Names" 1t is for
the clubbing of such fellows as Hat
ton out OF the public service that the
people are now laboring so zealously
in the direction of once more securing
the government. They have deter
mined to resume control of public al
fairs, to make this popular, instead
of a personal government.

Tie Boston Herald saws:

''The plea of Democratic tar fl dodgers, that
the party can do nothing for revenue reform
because the senate and the president are Re-
publican, which we have often answered, is
brushed aside by the Buffalo Courier as 'pO-
litica'ly and morally worthless. The house,
it says, will be responsible for its own action
and for the nOn.actiOn of congress. Its re-
sponsibility is increased by the fact that IL
alone has the right to initiate tariff measures.
Ii it fails to act in the premises the senate and
President can take no action The only way
to find out what these will do is to send to
them such measure of tax reduction as the
Democrats favor. If the senate shall refuse to
pass It or the president veto it, the issue will
be made up fer the people-and the Demo
Gratis could not ask for a better one. AS we
have said, we believe there are enough reve-
nue. refOrmers and Sagaci0us politicians
among the Republicans in the upper house to
secure the passage of a brief and moderate,
but adequate, measure of tariff reduction upon
raw materials and the staple necessities of the
people. And the president, in his message
has recommended such lrelief as the means Of
preventing surplus revenue. As the Courier
well says: To leave the tariff question oper
until the presidential campaign begins would
be the utmost folly. The resolutions of the ma
tional convention will command no respect an(
have no weight if they are not sustained by
| the action of the party in congress-"

The Use of Milk.

The Medical Record says: mo one
who, fatigued by overexertion of body
and mind has ever experienced the le-
viving influence of tumbler of this
beverage, heated as hot as it can be
slipped, will willingly forego a resort
to it because of its being rendered
somewhat less acceptable to the pal
ate. The promptness with which
its cordial influence is felt is
indeed surprising. Some portion
of it seems to be Invested and ap-
propriated almost Immediately, and
many who now fancy they need alco-
holic stimulants when exhausted by
fatigue, will find in this ample
draught. an equivalent that will be
abundantly satisfying and far more
enduring in its effects" AS a rule,
farmers make too little use of milk.
Sweet SKINNED milk is the very best
beverage for them and their children,
and if warmed and slipped gradually,
is, as stated by the Record, both nutri-
tious and agreeable. This we know
from long daily habit, and SKINNED
milk we know to be better than whole
milk in this respect. To avoid any
possible ill effects from overlooking
the stomach with it, and permitting
| it to curdle in mass, it is well to SIP
| it slowly, and also to eat a few NOR.

The st. Louis MIDDLE.

ST. LOUIS, October 1.-THE Post
Dispatch to-day publishes five col
umns more of the testimony before
the last grand jury relative to the
gambling ring. Ex-Police Commits
sioner Kerwin virtually testified that
Bob Pate, head of the ring here, two
years ago requested him to sign blank
designations; he did SO, but was not
appointed until long time after
wards. To the best of his knowledge
the blank resignation was never used.
He sent up his own resignation.
Other testimony printed is that of
Revs. Drs. Lewis, Vincent and Tudor,
who signed a petition recommending
the application of Kinkead as police
commissioner. DIR. Lewis testified
that he received through the mail a
photograph copy of Kinkead's resig-
nation. The evidence of these men is
corroboratory of lawyer White and
relates to interviews with Gov. Crit
tenden when he sent for them in re.
gard to Kinkead's resignation, which
Warren McCheSney had sent him.

Women's Congress.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE eleventh
annual congress of the association for
the advancement of women began
here this afternoon. A large number
of distinguished women from all
parts of the country are in attendance.
Julia Ward Howe, president, made
the opening address and referred with
some feeling to the first session of the
association, held in this city in 1872,
and the fact that many of those con-
cerned in the initial organization had
passed away. She declared that a
great deal had been accomplished for
and by the women of the country dur
ing the intervening period, but de-
clared that great reforms were to
come after the present leaders had
quilted the sphere of action, as the
world was slow in according to wo
men her rights.

Can't Agree.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 1.-THE general
passenger agents of the Pacific roads
met again this morning. The COM
mittee appointed yesterday reported
they were unable yet to present a
statement and recommendations upon
matters at issue. That in view of the
interesting question involved, the task
was well nigh impossible. A promi-
nent official said he considered it
doubtful whether matters would lie
adjusted at the meeting. The points
of difference are so numerous and per-
picking that it is not unlikely. the
roads will be unable to agree and the
business be left to a meeting uf gen.
eral managers in Chicago early in No,

IHENHIO ISSUES.

The tariff was not an issue in
Ohio, although some wool growers
revenged themselves on the Republi-
cans for the slight reduction of the
duty on their product in the last rev.
enue law. But the corn, the barley,
the rye. the grapes and the hops of
Ohio were in issue in this contest. So
also was the personal right of the cit
izen to regulate his own diet and
drink. The great extent to which
these interests and this right were in
volved in the Ohio contest is shown
by the 100000 votes for prohibitory
amendment. In the presence of such
an issue, which overshadowed all
other questions, it is mere fooling to
pretend that the Ohio election was
carried on a double-faced tariff resc-
luton. But the Ohio resolution IA
vors tariff reform. How, then, can
the advocates of this resolution as a
declaration in favor of tariff revision
reconcile it with their opposition to
any effort in the next congress to re-
wise the tariff Their answer is that
there is no need in passing bill in the
house; since it could not run the gaunt-
let of the senate and the executive.
But that is no answer, since
what the senate and the president
might do in the premises cannot be
ascertained until they are tried. The
advocates of the Ohio resolution on
the tariff put themselves in this di-
lemma; If it be sincere declaration
in favor of tariff reform, in antago-
nism to the existing tariff, then it
commits them to the immediate sup
port of tariff revision, for there can
be no tampering or delay in treating
such an abuse. If it be not Il sincere
declaration in favor of tariff revision,
then it means nothing more than any
other protective tariff resolution, and
its advocates are, with the rest of the
protectionists, opposed to any legisla-
ton on the subject. In the former
alternative the people of Ohio are
committed to tariff for revenue and
to the immediate revision of the pres
ent system. In the latter alternative
the tariff could not have been an issue
in Ohio, there being no difference
for the two parties to dispute about.

SCORING Mt PouItry Shows.

The Farm and Garden says that a
judge at one of the recent poultry
shows is exultant because a trio of
fowls that were scored by two differ
ent judges. varied only four points,
and gives such to demonstrate how
near two good judges can come in
their conclusions. Ills statement
sounds very well to a notice, and
LOOKS plausible; but when it is con-
sidercd these gentlemen split hairs on
half point, and as the limit between
full point and disqualification is
but little, we are inclined to say that
a difference of four points indicates
that the system practiced by some of
our poultry judges is very trashy.
Four points is a very great difference,
often being more than that between a
first premium bird and one that does
not secure prize.

The catalogue Of pensioners on the
United States government. which has
just been issued, is a formidable doc
ument. There are 1876 pages, devoted
to Missouri. Nearly 10000 names are
embraced in the lists for this state.
A glance at the document will sug-
gest the probability of extensive
frauds on the government. On every
page it may be noted that several pen
sions rest on the allegation of such
diseases as chronic diarrhGa,
bronchitis, scurvy, rheumatism, heart
disease, disease of the lungs, cpl
lepsy, asthma, disease of the eyes,
dysentery and kindred ailments. Any
of these diseases may be the true and
proper ground of pensions, but it will
occur to every observant person that
in a great number of cases it must be
the merest guess whether such disa-
bilitieS are referable to service per-
formed in the army. The field of
fraud is illimitable, and the extent
and continued growth of the pension
rolls show that it has been worked
with great effect. For instance,
it is almost inconceivable
that men who contracted
lung disease and dYsentery of such
violence as to have disabled them and
entitled them to pensions twenty
years ago, should still properly con-
tinue on the rolls by thousands in ev-
cry state. The published lists afford
a curious and interesting study. The
neighbors of scores Of the persons who
are receiving government bounty
would no doubt be surprised to read
the facts upon which their pensions
are based. The publication OF the
rolls ought to give rise to many in
quiries and the uncovering of much
truth. Missouri Republican.
