Caring for Gods Orphans.

Henry Mohler, o. W. Radcliffe, James Nc
Evan, Fidelia Parker, Mrs. A E. Pease, and
Eliza B. Slater, were held in bail, pending the
hearing in the Chicago police court recently on
complaint by the Humane society, charging
cruelty to children. 1t appears that they pro-
fess to be the leaders of some sort of religious
sect, the character of which is not clearly
shown, though from letters it appears that
some members of the sect indulge in the most
vicious and licentious practices. Twelve chill
dren were found in their possession, the oldest
of whom claims to have been cruelty treated,
and kept without sufficient food The pris-
oners claim to be caring for Gods orphans, and
they say they have no means of support except
faith in the Lord The ~neighbors say there
have been frequent deaths among the little
ones.

Mr.. John Thomson, a bank president
of New York, gave the following excel
lent advice in a paper read before the
late Bankers convention at Saratoga:
"Bank officers should manage their bank
and live on their salaries. Depositors
and stockholders forfeit all sympathy if
they tolerate a specializing official to
stay n hour in charge of their assets.
Turn the Spectator out or get out your
self. Figurehead directors should also
go or be held individually liable" 1t is
much to be regretted that his words of
wisdom are not more likely to be gem
orally needed by the persons whom
they concern. Recent exposures of ras-
cality growing out of specuIations by
bank officers show that Mr.. Thompson's
advice did not come a bit too soon, but
on the contrary, a good deal to late.
But it is never to late to mend, and it
remains for stockholders and depositors
to inaugurate the mending process at
the earliest opportunity.

Serious Riot at What Cheer Coal Mine,
Iowa.

Des Moines, Iowa, Special: A telegram from
the sheriff of Keokuk county was received at
the executive Office Wednesday morning, ask
ing for military aid to assist in suppressing a
serious riot reported to be in progress at the
What Cheer coal mines. The points regarding
the origin of the trouble are meagre, but from
information at hand it is learned that a recent
strike of the miners at these mines led to the
usual remedy applied to such exigencies, viz,
the importation of colored miners. The indig-
nant Caucasians attempted to stay the influx of
the sable-hired brethren by the persuasive in
huence of shOt-guns and clubs. This led to
open hostilities, and in the rough and tumble
fight that followed the negroes were compelled
to seek safety in flight Several of them were
seriously injured, The sheriff was summoned,
but on learning the magnitude of the task be-
fore him, telegraphed the governor for troops
to maintain order. The governor Immediately
ordered Company G, of Muscatine to repair tc
the scene Of the riot and restore peace.

A good deal of sarcasm has been
wasted on the United States Govern
ment for its foil y in spending So, OoO,-
600, in the purchase of Alaska. The
country named has generally been
looked upon as a barren waste, useless
for any purpose, but when it becomes
known that there have recently been
made discoveries of very large deposits
of both bituminous and anthracite coal,
the tune will likely be changed. The
coal is described as of good quality,
and the quantity almost i~nexhaustible,
judging from surface indications. This
fuel will find a ready market along the
Pacific coast and its development can
not but help the progress of that REGION.
Alaska will also furnish the very best
ship timber, and this will also help to
build up our far western border.

This is a great country, but too much
of it is going up in smoke nowadays.
The year continues to MAINTAIN its unen-
viable distinction for the number and
seriousness of its CONGREGATIONS. The
first six months showed q loss of $53,-
$50, 900 by fires in the United States
and Canada, which was nearly 50, 900 900
above the average for that period dur
ing the last year. The figures for July
show the destruction of So, SOC, 900
which is nearly a million and a half
above the average for the month, and,
indeed, has never been exceeded except
when Portland, Me-, was so nearly
burned on Independence Day in 1866.
Of course a large majority of fires can
be accounted for by common causes.
but insurance experts do not hesitate to
attribute the balance to the condition
of business affairs. In other words fires
are set to get money for buildings and
stocks of goods for which cash cannot
be realized in any other way, or so
much cash at least as that to be obtained
on insurance policies.

The public press comm ends a late de
cision OF Judge Brewer, the new Judge of
the United States circuit court, in the
Maxwell land grant fraud in Colorado.
The details show hat by fraudulent and
imaginary landmarks and boundaries
the public lands werebrought within the
patent given the company, by false
statements of rivers, creeks and noun
tains as landmarks which had no exist
ence. The result was the capture of over
a million acres of most vluable land for
the company, which then oppressed the
settlers by threats of eviction if they
did not pay it large royalties and rents.
The results have been seen in frequent
conflicts between the parties ending in
bloodshed and sometimes loss of life.
Judge Brewer, in concluding his opinion
In the case, y 81 do not think that
the surveyor general, the commissioner
of the general land office. the secre-
tary of the United States, ar all together,
can give away public lands either direct
" or indirectly; and when they have
executed instruments apparently con-
veying lands not granted by the con
gress, the government can come into the
courts for relief" By this decision If
sustained by the Supreme Court, the
company loses nearly 200 900 acres and
in New Mexico as much more.

paint pots and brushes, in the vicinity
of one of the bridges in the county,
andwas informed that they were engag-
ed to paint all the bridges in the county,
and were to receive 81 per day each for
the work. AS le-father-in-law was TAX
