A Smuggling Scheme OF New Mexican Mer-
chants Discovered.

New YORK, Aug. SIT has been known for
several months past that several dry goods
merchants in New Mexico have been carry
ing on an extensive business in smuggling
French, German and Italian lace into the
country. The mode of getting the goods into
New Mexico without the payment of duty,
was to put them up in packages, which were
securely sealed and sent by mail. As the
packages were rated as private correspond
ence," and stamps sufficient to pay letter
postage were put upon them, the special
agency detectives had no legal right to open
them for examination when the goods arrived
at New York in transit. Thus the goods have
been reaching New Mexico all right, and it is
supposed that the government has been
cheated out of many thousands of dollars in
revenue. Yesterday package of lace, ad-
dressed william f. Lucey, Santa Fee, N. NJ, "
was accidentally dropped upon the floor
and broke open in the postoffice. When
Postmaster Pearson became aware OF the ma
ture of the contents, he sent word to the chief
special agent at the custom house, and the
goods were taken into the seizure-room. The
lace, which is of fine pattern, is valued at

THE WHISKY INTERESTS.
The Kentucky DIstillers' Association Meets
in Secret Session.

LOUISVILLE. Aug. 8.-The Kentucky Dis
tillers' Association met in secret session at
the Gait House this afternoon, forty-one dis
filling companies being represented. COM
mittee from the Western Export Association
was also present The detailed proceedings of
the meeting cannot be recited, owing to the
secrecy attending it, but the following con-
clusion was reached and resolutions adopted:
Resolved, That the chairman appoint a com.
mttee OF seven, whose duty 1t will be to meet
and confer with the commissioners appointed
from other States upon all matters arising, with
full power to act rs their judgment may indi-
cate, and make every reasonable and honorable
effort to bring the whisky trade into united ac-
ton. The committee shall have charge of the
legislative matters and all trade questions look
ing to the relief of the whisky interests.
Resolved, That this association, and every
member thereof, agrees fully and in good faith
to abide by and sustain the action OF its commit
tee III all matters; but 1t is distinctly underst God
that this committee shall bear Its own expenses,
and nat this association is not and will not be
responsible for any part of said expenses or any
money expended by the committee.
Resolved, That this association approves of a
fair and equal distribution of the distilling ca
pacity between the leading States, and if this Is
found impracticabe, we strongly recommend the
execution of the pooling resolution adopted at
Lexington, Nov. 8, 1882, with a view of limiting
the whisky production iii the future to the legt-
innate wants of the trade. This committee is in
structed to carry this recommendation into eff
feet.
Resolved, That this committee may fill any va
cances that may occur in its membership, as
directed by the resolution.

clined and time passed on, with no examina-
ton of roads meanwhile, until the commits
sioners felt the need of summer recreation.
They wanted to get about the State. and
why pay fare when they could go free? A
few days ago the commissioners visited the
railroad officials in person and agreed to
take passes in any way they could get them,
whether by right or by courtesy. The strict
and impartial manner in which the affairs of
these roads will be looked into can readily
be imagined, but the managers are losing no
sleep over the prospect

A Texas Ex.Confederate Reunion.

Mckinney, Tex, Aug. S.-The second and
last day of the Confederate reunion was even
greater than the first. The attendance was
greatly increased, numbering about $4,000.
The speech of General Lewis yesterday is
generally condemned by the notables pres
emit still it took with the crowd. Lewis was
cheered to the echo while speaking and the
supposition is that the enthusiasm carried
him beyond the bounds of discretion. The
only thing out of the ordinary routine to-
day was the speech Of General Cable, who
declared that England and America can
never have more than an unnatural friend
ship. He hoped to live long enough to lead
ex-Confederates under the stars and stripes
in contest against England.

nigh irresistible when the feeling of defeat is
forced upon any organization that has gone
upon a stI Ike to compel concessions. 1t may
be safely claimed that the great body Of
American operators are men of princi pie,
and that they will never be guilty of trans
crossing the laws of the land Up to this
time their conduct has been of such moder-
alton and good sense that they have won the
respect and confidence of the people. But it
is not impossible that few in
considerate strikers might commit
breaches OF the peace that
would seriously compromise all who are
inevitable in case wires are actually tam
pered with, or the property of the telegraph
companies is in any way molested The
people have been very patient under tie in
| convenience suffered from impaired tele-
graphic service. They have tacitly agreed to
let the contestants fight the issue out on its
merits. Naturally the greater sympathy
goes with the men, as opposed to the cor
porations OF such vast wealth that they
are able to protect themselves. Law and
order must be maintained first of
all, and abuses must be reformed
in legal and regular manner. Let the issue
be decided wholly on its merits. The public
has submitted to considerable inconvenience
and loss in order to give the case fair hear
ing, as it were. If it be found that the COM
panies cannot properly discharge the business
OF the country, some measures will undoubt-
eddy be taken to compel them to do so,
Meanwhile it would be the height of folly to
interfere with wires, or to attempt to accom-
plish by force that which circumstances
have pronounced against.

IT can hardly be regarded as reassuring
to know that the manufacturer of a we'll
known revolver will shortly occupy house
at Northboro Mass, costing between $780,
cent. more revolvers sold than there should
be. By the way, it is singular fact, in this
connection, that murder never occurs in
orally advertised gratis 1t is not enough to
say that the weapon was a thirty-two or
forty-four calibre. The manufacturing firm
must be published, also. Why doesn't the
coanting-room kick?

The Tennessee Legislature resolved last
winter to investigate and regulate the doings
OF its railroads, and to that end appointed
commissioners, thriftily providing at the
same time that these gentlemen should be fur
nished with free passes. After the appoint
ment the commissioners demanded passes,
which were refused by the managers of the
roads on the grounds that the Legislature
had no right TO dictate in regard to the issu-
ing of passes. The roads would furnish
them with passes as matter of courtesy, but
Otherwise. This offer was loftily de-

If apparently well-authenticated rumors
be true, the public is about to have an ac-
cession of knowledge relative to the true in.
wardness of the numerous rowing matches
in which the champion Hanlan has almost
invariably won. There seems to be little
doubt that they have been hippodromed
from the first, and each race prearranged in
the interest of gamblers in the
large cities. The former hackers of the
Canadian, now at outs with him, are begin

about time to let this business severely

THE Rip Van Wrinkles of the South are
awakening one by one. Solid Georgia is now
in the throes of a strong temperance reform.
The temperance people of that State have
been working quietly but assiduously until
they have about captured the citadel of
Democracy. There was no attempt made to
commit the State to prohibition, but a united
effort made in favor of local option. On
Monday bill for that purpose prepared in
accordance with the prayer OF petition
signed by 10000 persons, came up in the
House. The necessary majority for its pas
sage was barely received amidst deafening APP
plause from the crowded galleries. 1t is al
most certain that the Senate will also pass
the bill, and this means that Georgia will be
about as solid a temperance State as any
North or South. The temperance fanatics
are evidently marching through Georgia to
some purpose.

If the reports OF wire-cutting be true, it
puts a very bad front on the strike. and casts
a reflection upon all the strikers, innocent
and guilty alike. 1t shows that they regard
the situation as desperate, and as last move
toward securing their demands they have re-
sorted 10 force. Of course, it is by no means
certain that the reported interference
with the lines is true. 1t may
simply be a ruse OF the companies to
gain the sympathy of the public, and to
bring the strikers under condemnation. The
latter are, or ought to be, wise enough to
know that force will never win. Just
as soon as they begin to interfere
with the property and rights of
the companies will they lose prestige aud
forfeit that sympathy they have thus far en-
joyed. The temptation, however, is we'll

THE official board of Roberts Park Church did
a commeudable thing when they decided to
have their regular church services, during the
heated term, when so many of the city churches
are closed. Every one can't go to the watering
places and summer resorts, and it is well to
nave place where those who stay at home
can have the privilege Of public worship. They
have also been very fortunate, far, in secur-
ing tirst-cass talent to fill the pulpit during the
absence of their pastor. Next Sunday evening
Rev. ]. n. Bayless, d. D., will preach No min
lister ever left Indianapolis with greater num-
Der OF warm and devoted friends than DR..
Bay less, and the mere announcement that he
will preach, will, no doubt, secure a large attend
auce.

ONE of the most noted weddings of this season
was the marriage, barely six weeks ago. of the
actor, Frank Bangs, and daughter of the late
Singer, of sewing machine fame. 1t will better be
recalled by the tragic parting OF Bangs from his
pet poodle, it evidently being a struggle in his
breast to choose between pup and partner of
his joys. AT last he gave up the former and en-
braced the latter They sweetly married,
and lived happily ever after for just one month
and half. 1t now appears that he acted very
fOOlishly when he went back on the noble pup, for
his bride has got tired of welded Dliss and
will for a divorce besides demanding
the return of some $1,000 that she advanced
to him. Bangs wildly swears that she'll
never get the money, probably for the very good
reason that he has such sum about his per-
son. He also says she shall not have divorce.
He started into the business little late in life,
and is not disposed to surrender his happiness on
the first half of the second inning. He alleges
that had he known ten minutes before the mar
Tiage what he discovered half an hour after he
would never have married her at all. She pro-
baby ate pie with knife at the wedding break
fast. At least Mr.. Bangs declares his discovery
"too revolving for human utterance." Mrs. Bangs
has the advantage of him in that she has already
scored one marriage, besides striking out on a
divorce.

IT would seem that the practice of dupli-
eating pay accounts by army officers could
be easily prevented. If each department
would designate single paymaster or sub
treasurer to audit and pay those accounts,
the opportunity to duplicate would be cut
off, but so long as the loose practice prevails
of allowing these vouchers to float as negoti-
able paper the frauds will continue.

To be dead colored infant in Philadelphia lie
to be In hard luck. Whether TO be live col9red
infant in that city is synonymous with being in
bliss may be questioned, but TO die there is hard.
So strongly is the color line drawn that oven
deceased white people will not associate with a
corpse of African descent. The body of a little
black waif which died in the "Shelterng Arms"

floating around without place to lay its head.

two cemeteries where burial was refused on ac-
count of the color. He then went back to his
stable, intending at some convenient time to try
other cemeteries for admission, and putting the
box on one side forgot about it. An assistant

Hon. AND REV. NATHANIEL HORNE, of Penn
sylvania, has found it difficult to serve God and
his native State acceptaby at one and the same
time. Confiding MeJhodists voted for Brother
Horne with the expectation and understanding
that when he came TO represent them in the Leg
isature he would advocate prohibition. Hon. Mr..
Horne's omission to do this when actually elected
led to much discussion among his constituents,
naturally followed by some disclosures. Facts
came to light showing that, so far from being a
total abstainer in principle practice, he had
during the campaign bought intoxicating liquors
and distributed them where they would do the
most good, not refraaEing from occasional nip
himself. Such conduct could not be overlooked,
and the church has promptly expelled Rev. Mr..
Horne. He is still at Harrisburg drawing $40 a
day aud is. therefore, not without consolation,
but feels that the way Of pious legislator is
hard.
