Tho Motive OF Robbery.

PIrrsBuRaM, Dec. ia Newark (O.)
special says that the origin Of tho fire at
Johnstowni O., Saturday, by which seven
buildings were destroyed and William
Trout, saloon-keeper was burned to
death, is believed to have been incendi-
ary. The theory prevails that Trout, who
was known TO have possession OF between
1000 and $1,000, was robbed and prob
ably murdered while intoxicated, then
locked in his saloon and the building
fired for the purpose Of covering up the
crime. Steps will be taken Immediately
to have tho mystery cleared.

was posted at the Edgar Thompson Steel
Works, Mt Braddocks, to-day, ordering Il
suspension OF work Tomorrow in all de.
partments for an indefinite period. The
order, which was n complete surprise to
the workmen; was caused by lack OF

business. The firm is unable to say how
long the works will remain idle; resllmp-
ton might be ordered in few weeks and
perhaps not for months, rs all depended

In the early days of the Republic, the
mode Of selecting candidates for the
Presidency, was by Congressional
caucus. That mode got into disrepute,
and "0ld King Caucus" was dethroned.
National conventions were adopted, and
State conventions assisted in making
them up.
A little trickery and cunning have
generally attended these conventions,
and the willy and artful politician has
often succeeded in forcing men on the
party who IL did not want-cheating the
great bulk of the American citizens out
of their choice.
Conventions therefore became unpop-
ular. Yet there is no other way by
which the voice of the people can be as
certained.
In the early days of our history we
did not have so many men who thought
themselves fit to preside over the desti-
MES of the country as we have now, and
as we grew in population and wealth,
the talent and ambition for distinction
developes themselves.
Are we going to have Democratic
organization for the purpose of selecting
men to rule one great country in future,
who will give us honest government
or shall we wait until the little dema-
gogues throw all the fire brands they can
into our camp, and create all the divis.
ions they can on questions which re-
quire all the talent and skill of our great
party to adjust for the calm considera-
ton of our State and National Conven.
ton. Let our motto be everything for
principle-nothing for men.

SUPERVISION.

lne cupefflslOn Dill mas Decome
law 80 far as the Senate and House are
concerned, by large majorities. The
friends OF the railroads who profess 10
be their exclusive friends-when we
hope there is not single enemy 70 them
in the State-are not dealing fairly with
the question, in this, that they hold out
threat that capital will not invest in
railways in State that undertakes 10
supervise them in their tariff Of charges
and 10 regulate taxation on their proper
ty.
This is all patriotic, no doubt, but let
us inquire who began this supervising
businessY The railway companies fix
the price Of fuel, they fix the price Of
labor and timber 10 trestle and cross tie
their roads. II they kill horses, mules
or cattle they tell you, fix the value Of
them by three uniHterested men and we
will pay you hdB, II they main or kill
a human being, they will only settle
damages by their own estimate Of its
value. II you sue, as Is the case general
ly, the judges will not allow the verdict
Of jury stand II the amount Of damages
Is large, he usurps the right Of the jury
and decides law and fact, and generally
in favor Of the railway. a n
Let these facts be denied and instances
will be brought forward to establish our
position.
II will be asked how can railways do
all this. We answer because there has
been no supervising power to check and
regulate them. The roads have it all
on their side. They have the money
power; they have their agents and at
torneys stationed all along the line; they
have become 80 arrogant at times thai
trunks would not be received at the de
pots until few minutes before trair
time, and their agents would not oper
Office to sell tickets until the train haC
arrived.
We instance q case right here, yea
ago, we believe, where there were thirty
passengers waiting and tho agent die
not come until the train from New Or
leans was at the depot. Such confusion
we have seldom witnessed.
The argument is used that this bill il
unconstitutional-and this by outsiders
VINO, we have every reason to believe
have not read the bill, and that It's in
congruity is such that it cannot be pu
into effect II II becomes law. 9TH,
wish, no doubt, is father to the thought
Az sound legal talent as there is, th,
Legislature seems to think differently
but If the bill becomes a law. and dc
fects ARE found to exist, they caa b,
cured bya supplemental bill.
If Mississippi we're the first State t
pass a supervisory law the ultra friend,
of railways might raise thousand i'm
aginary objections, and try to frighter
capitalists out of their wits and keeE
them out of the State, but it happens
that many Others have tried it and find
it to work we'll.
