The Railroad Boys Paid on.

The pay car Of the Union Pacific
Railway Company came up to Haley
last Thursday evening, and paid off all
hands employed on the railway at this
point, including the surfacing or bal
lasting gang. The boys of the latter
say that their train was brought here
from Bellevue on purpose to keep
them from spending their money at
that place. They don't dislike the
change as most of them prefer Haley
to Bellevue.

THE COURT OF INQUIRY.

Commander Wildes Gives Testimony Re-
gardinG the Failure of the Proteus.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19,-Commander Frank
Wildes, commanding the Yantic, appeared
before the Proteus court of inquiry, and
previous to taking the oath asked whether he
appeared to testify of the acts of others, or to
have his conduct as a commander inquired
into. The room was cleared while the sub
ject was considered. After a short confer
ence Commander Wildes was informed that
he was summoned as a witness. He had the
privilege of refusing to answer any questions
tending to eliminate himself. He was then
sworn, and said upon learning of the dis
aster to the Proteus, it occurred to him to
land stores for the Proteus or Greedy party.
He refused, however, to give the court his
views on the subject.
The witness said that, aside from the
wooden sheathing, the Yantic was equipped
for polar voyage the same as she would
have been for voyage to the West Indies.
The failure of the expedition the witness
thought was due to the following causes:
The insufficient and scanty means employed
in manning the Proteus, with an inefficient
captain, and crew OF eleven 'beach-combers"
and 'longshoremen, and the neglect of those
by whose order the expedition was fitted
out to acquaint themselves with the bust
ness in hand before dispatching the vessels
north His ship had been cruising in West
1ndia's waters, and he only received orders
to go north three days before sailing.

DURING the last year or more the greatest
amount of pity that has existed in this country
has been given to Mrs Thomas Carlyle because

which she was compelled to listen to her broth

CHARLES READE, should the complaint of
writer in the Literary World" prove true,
must plead guilty to plagiarism, though not in
its worst form. In his story, "Born to Good
Luck" published in Harpe"s for July, occur
several long passages which first saw the light
i'll one OF the tales published by the Grimms
Brothers, of Marchen, fifty years ago. Both
stories are similar in character and plot.
"Whether the parallelism ia of such nature as
to justify the grave charge of plagiarism" says
the writer, 81 cannot say; but II 1t be, Charles
Reade has only fallen a victim to the stress
which must at times seize the professional
writer who is subject to a steady demaud for
MS and can at least claim ilustrious literary
company from Shakespeare down to owen Mere
dith."
GATH: General Fremont is really poor. He
lives on Staten Island, and has no income. al
though some of his friends have been kind to

him the pay he was receiving when, by Frank

taking the very step toward negroes that the
government afterward took, of using them
against the public enemy. Senatorelect Ran

THE dissenting opinion of Justice Harlan
in the civil-rights cases is very long but it is
very interesting and very important. 1t is
likely to become an historic document, and it
has been prepared with the fullness and care
required in paper that will be looked to as
an arsenal of facts and arguments upon what
is certain to be great question before it is
finally settled. We think Judge Harlan has
both the law and the prophets on his side of
the discussion as he certainly has justice
and broad common sense. The cold, glittering,
icicular stuff that is needed to analyze and
bolster up Justice Bradley's opinion for the
court is in unhappy and shriveling contrast
to the warm, statesmanlike and humanita-
rian spirit in which the dissenting opinion
is conceived and brought forth, and in which
those who believe in its principles can de-
fend it. The opinion OF the court, although
it establishes a rule of action for lower
courts, and is the law to that extent, is al
ready buried out of sight in the contempt of
the country Be it ten times more the law
than it is, it cannot command the conscience
and hearts of the people.

COMPLAINTS of the inefficiency and indif-

did not know how much by the repeated
thefts. The facts have been reported to the
police, and the premises had been visited by
the superintendent and other officers, who
had infinitely examined the traces left by
the burglars, and then had gone off, and so
far as results are concerned had done moth
ing. Other complaints come to us con-
stantly, until it seems that the
city is next door to being without any
police protection at all. There must come an
end to this kind of shiftlessness, and at once
or the worst consequences will result. And

there is fidelity, efficiency and competency

ANOTHER effort is made to still further
mystify the matter of the change of time.
Within day or two, after all the stupid
people find out that they cannot stop the
march of events, and have turned back the
hands," there will be no further trouble, for
there will be only one time, and local
time" will be thing of the past The city
schools fall into the procession this morning,
and nearly all the industrial establishments
will do the same at once. Prof. john OF
Asbury University, sends word to the News
that the talk about moon" and the passage
of the sun over the meridian of indianapolis
sunshine; that the old time was as arbitrary
as the new time, and he urges everybody to
adopt the new time at once.
The New York Times says: ''In
short time the new standards
will be accepted everywhere between the
Atlantic and the Pacific, and then all intelli-
gent persons will ask why the change was
not made years ago." OF course, while of
the larger towns and cities it is the depot
clock that gives the standard time for all the
country. and while it may suffice to satisfy
the vanity of few "Big Injuns," who think
they are showing deal of independence of
the railroads to hold on to the old local
time it will not be week until every one
of common sense has adjusted his time-piece
and his business and work to the prevailing
standard. Even the barbarous indifference
of the street-railway company to the public
convenience will be compelled to give way
in this regard.

1t is stated that the railroad company will
take immediate steps to settle with the in

collision at Streator in order to prevent the
matter being taken into the courts at all.
The prevailing opinion is that there was
negligence shown on the part of anpmber of
railroad employees including the train dis
patcher and the men running the freight
north, and it is said the freight south did not
keep proper distance behind the passenger
and as the conductor of the passenger says
he had been standing on the track three
