The Post-Dispatch of last Saturday
pays this deserved compliment to Sen
ator Yancey-than whom better rep
resentative of the peoples interests has
never been sent from the Oath District:
''On the 18th inst. OurJefferson City corre-
spondent unwittingly reelected upon Senator
c. d. Yaneey by coupling his name with the
Oil Inspection bill in such a way as to leave
the impression that he WAS identified in some
way with the Standard Oil Company lobby.
The correspondent disclaims any intention
to reflect on Mr.. Yancey, and he seems to
have simply been unfortunate in the phrase
Ology of his letter. Mr.. Yancey is an hon.
orlble and straightforward representative,
and is not the agent or servitor of any lobby;
nor does his course touching the oil inspec-
tion subject him to such imputation."

Congressman-elect John Is. Wise
Readjuster, is TO be appointed by the
Department of Justice to assist in the
prosecution of persons alleged to have
violated the Federal election laws in
Virginia last fall. AS Mr.. Wise's
seat i'm Congress is contested on the
grounds that frauds were committed by
the Readjusters on his own behalf, and
the evidence is very strong, the beau
ty of the appointment is visible to the
naked eye. We say it, without fear of
successful contradiction, that the De-
partment of Justice O. is the most ven-
al and corrupt of all the Departments
OF the limited States Government. In
many eases its agents are willing and
deliberate liars, not to say perjurers,-
men whom ito private business corpo-
ration could employ for day without
detriment to its interests. Its methods
are often darlnable and used, not to
fulfil the ends of Justice, but to fill the
pockets OF official leeohes whose whole
study i'm life is to make the utmost Pc
cuniariiy of the cases that are trumped
up by their venai agents. 4 big

The Chicago Times has this on the
subject of the supreme necessity for
protecting our hard-pushed copper in
ferests:
zone Of the worst monopolies built up by
mira tariff taxation is that given to the Lake
Superior Calumet and Hecla copper mines,
chiefly o~ned i'm Boston. These men have
been enabled to pay SD $50 900 i'm dividends
a,lt of taxes levied on the entire American
pHbiic. In return for this generous gift by the
community they have for years deliberately
exported their eopperto Europe and sold 1t to
tho competitors OF their fellow American
manufacturers at lower prices than they
would make to any one in the United States.
This shocking, unnatusai and ungrateful
abuse of those who were helping to pay the
taxes that protected the copper mines is
proven beyond dispute by the testimony
taken before the Tariff Commission"

A Chicago paper labors to the extent
of a column to prove that men of ore
idea are the most successful i'll life.
Well, We know that is the popular i'm
preston, and very likely it is true that
they are apt to be mole successful in
money-making than other people. But
to tell the truth, men of one idea are
generally very narrow. They cling to
their one idea with all the desperation
of a drowning mariner. If they lose it
they are gone. Their resources are
limited, and they are far from filling
the highest conceptions of complete
and f~ull-rounded manhood.
Commend us to the man whose ideas
radiate in all directions-whose active
inquiring miud leads him into a dozen
different avenues, whose accomplish
ments are diversified, and who knows
something of the world in which he
lives besides the paltry details of his
own naIrow-guage avocation. While
it is true that men of one idea general
ly succeed in their callings, it is also
True that the great men of all age;
have been formed in an entirely differ
ent mold. They have grasped every
thing in the line of human thought and
activity aud could never have been sat.

1.-THE Newport giflcpmes from either
OF fouLcities-Boston New York, Bal
timors and ~PhiIadelphia. Of the four,
the Philadelphia is, ~ every way, the
most attractive. Without the dash of
the New York belle, hacking the icy re
serve Of the Bostonian maiden, wanting
always, the impuIsive warmth and
spontaneity Of the Maryland beauty.
the Philadelphia girl is, nevertheless,
the possessor Of greater natural Charms
and more attractive social qualities
than either of the trio with whom |
have chosen to- compare her. Her man
ners are frank, cordial, unpretentious.
Truth rings ia her every sentence, in
telligeDce governs her conduct and a
courteous consideration for others con
stitutes her guiding rule Of life. She
makes a delightful companion, a friend
of the type whose very wounds are
faithful, a true and tender sweetheart,
and the purest and best of wives. Her
thought has a ling of sincerity, her con
versation a tone of heal hful confidence
n Sod and the world, and her attach
ments. whether as a friend or as ancar
er ore yet and dearer, are innocent OF
%coquetry and untouched by s~elfshness.
Born to an inheritance Of good blood,
perfect manner and fine old family
pride, she views worldly prosperity as
merely an accessory of life's more i'm
portant possessions, and regards the
wealth with which she IS usually bless
edit. indeed, she ever thinks Of mon
ey of the value of which she seems un-
conscious -as simple means to the far
more important er.d of human comfort
and happiness. The Philadelphia girl,
is. indeed, a charming creature, and,
to my mind, the most attractive type of
the American girl to lie found at New
port. Perhaps l cannot better summer
ize her character and disposition as |
have observed them, than by saying
That, of all the classes OF American
! girls to be met at our seaside resorts,
the Philadelphia maiden is the only one
who is never under any circums ances
foreetful for an instant Of her duties, to
herself and others, as a lady"
Yes, there can be no sort of doubt
about it; the Philadelphia damsel has
him "solid;" and if the editor of the
Adgocate holds to the opinion enter
tanned by some otherwise very good ed
itors, that matrimony units a young
man for journalistic work, the sooner
he calls his Newport correspondent
home the more likely is he to continue
to adorn the staff of that excellent
journal.-Sun.

Recently in II of our Delaware
shore cities, a bachelor whose fighting
weight is about % pounds, passed that
bourn from which no bachelor ever re-
turns and took over to the spicy fields
of matrimony a wife that would make
two editions OF himself. This is rather
a hazardous experiment in these days
Of progressive woman's rights, when
at best, it is a debatable question when
the honeymoon, who shall e the
breeehes; and he may be surprised, to
find her fighting weight is 215 pounds
averdupois. Thanks to our lenient
laws that matches are not broken even
where bulk is the consideration. The
order Of things might have been revers
ed and she do the capturing if not the
wooing. l am inclined to think, and
my authority is a nan who has been
married five times, that it is not such
a fiery ordeal to ask the old folks for
their daughters, especially, when forty
eight shoes and twenty-eight bonnets
to he paid for, by an over-worked faith
er. Eight marriageble daughters
might help out in this direction. A
widower understands it and takes the
girl 10y storm, and if she is a young
widow, his heart can be at rest for he
will be helped.
A beautiful young widow started a
| shop opposite a widower; she was dress
| ed every day in a bewitching style and
looked irresistibly beautiful; he could
not stand the temptation. lie went
over to her, and in a business way, told
her he wanted to marry her. Oh said
she, | can not think of such a thing;
after a pause, she said; true, John has
been dead a year all to ven months,
and in {. few days they We're man and
wife; the seven months did the BUSH
ness. There is a nohow about mary
ing. and if faith is exercised with it, a
great deal of worry might be dispensed
with. There are many curious ways
that marriage is brought i'll different
countries. In Aracania, the bride
groom dashes at the girl, seizes her by
the nand. the hair or heels as the case
may be, drags her to his horse, leaps on
its back, pulls her up after him, and
dashes off at full speed followed by his
friends. The relatives Of the girl go
OF in pursuit but are constantly cheek
ed by the friends OF the bridegroom
who keep them back until he has DASH
ed into the forest with his bride. They
halt at the skirts of the forest, wait un
til the sounds OF the giri's screams and
the galloping Of the horse have died
away and then dispense. The young
couple are nov left alone until they
emerge from the wood ON the second
day after the abduction, when they are
supposed to be nan and wife. IIowev-
er, he has to pay for her after all. If
he Is Il wealthy man he has no trouble
i'll the matter; but if not, he goes among
his friends and asks contributions
from them. One gives an OK, another
Il horse, another a pair Of silver spurs
and So on. 1t is IA point of honor to
make these contributions, and equally
SO 10 return them at some time OF 9TH
er, even if the intending bridegroom
has to wait until in his tun, he can
sell his eldest girl.

The strike Of the teleGraphic operat-
Ors is authoritatively ended, and the
men are advised to apply to the West
eru Uhion Company for reinstatement.
This result is only what has been antjc
ipated for some days.
1t is always proper and right for men
of any vocation TO demand the recogni-
ton of what they conceive to be their
rights, and frequently the only resource
of employed men against the encroaeh-
ments of employers is by the combina-
tion movement called a strike. But
this action should never be taken incon
siderately or without adequate reason,
and once taken it should be conducted
i'll a strictly honorable and business-like
way. To attempt to coerce, intimidate
or injure the property of the employing
corporation places the strikers in the
attitude of.outlaws and enemies of or
der. There is such a thing as despotic
monopoly among the employed as well
as employers, and the one is no better
than the other.
1t is very much to the credit of the
~telegraphists that generally through
out their strike they have not forgotten
that they were gentlemen ard orderly
citizens. They made a manly stand,
and it is no disgrace to them that they
arc compelled to succumb. The COM
pany, if it would show the highest wis
dom, will do well to let bygones be by
cones, and look INTO the grievances of
the operators with the honest view of
doing them justice. The Western Uni
on business is profitable, and there
should be no occasion for any oppres-
sion Of their operators.
