The question of luck, fate, retribution.
or whatever expression theorists NAV be
pleased to term it, is fully illustrated in
the career of Prentiss Tiller, the Missouri
Pacific Express robber. He easily got
hold of, and away with, about 100000
In money. He baffled all the detectives
and left no clue behind him. When in an
evil moment to him, one is tempted TO
say, he bought trunk, and while in the
act OF putting into that trunk the pro-
ceeds OF his theft he is exposed by a
triiiing accident. Was it luck. fate or
retributionP Could man who was SO
plainly unluoky ever hope to 20 through
the world in good shape. Sympathy is
even wasted because he exposed himself
so clumslly, and the belief in predestina-
ton Is made prominent. He was not
born to be successful thief. No matter
how near he succeeded, and while he
played his game well, yet his bad luck,
and nothing else. gave him away. An
other terse precept could be added to the
prevailing slang of the day, and that is
"be sure Of your luck before you steal. .

Mr.. GEORGE BALL of the firm Of Ball,
Hutchings & Co., of Galveston, died in
that city on Thursday morning. He was
one of the most prominent men in that
city, and besides his business reputation
he was known as great benefactor. His
most prominent gift being a public
school building for the benefit Of the
children Of that city. His private chari-
ties were legion, and he win be sincerely
mourned wherever he was known.
"UNIvERsAL free trade In this coun-
try" says the Age of Steel, "would put
an end to the largest part Of the me-
chanical and manufacturing industries
of the country, or 1t would reduce the
rate of wages paid to the operatives In
those industries by at least 80 per cent.
That would be the inevitable conse-
quence Of competition. Either the
American rate Of wages would have to
come down, or these industries would
have to stop. Neither of these conse-
quences would be blessing, and either
would be stupendous evil to the ooun-
try. That country is wise that fosters
Its own Industries and gives to them as
great variety of form as possible and
this is precisely what tariff protection
does, and what every country needs to
have done, until, like England, II can
protect itself by its industrial supreme
cy, without the help of tariff duties"
In AN article under the head of"Parties
and Slate-makers," the Belleville
Standard says: 1.-The signs of the times,
indicate cold days in the near future for
the political wire-puller and Spectator
in official spoils. The party harness sets
rather loosely on many, while others
have boldly thrown it off. The great
mass OF voters are not eager to rush to
the support of nominees because this or
or that party labels them as its candi-
dates. They are manifesting a DISPOSE
ton to sorutinize candidates for them
selves and form their own conclusions as
to their fitness and capacity for public
position. In the absence Of any very
clearly defined difference between the
two great parties of the country (assum-
ing that the bloody shirt has been per-
manently interred), the average voter is
not disposed to recognize or unquestion-
ingly obey the command of the bosses Of
either party when they proclaim: "This
is our man-vote for him." In brief, the
people are coming to regard capability
and honesty as the paramount considera-
tions in the selection of public servants,
and the occupation of the party slate
maker and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES may
be regarded as well nigh gone. And as
result, we may expect the enactment
OF Just and wholesome laws, and their
vigorous and impartial execution"
