Macon Telegraph: ''Mr. Carlisle frs

Now we have q Professor Neggrof
talking of bringing out one thousand
Irishmen to be educated as dynamit'
ers, and then turned loose at the
British navy and set at large in the
principal cities of the United King
dom to practice their skill at raising
things. Says the unmitigated bragg
CART: "Ata preconcerted signal, !
would have them destroy all the
English banking houses, %arsenals,
prisons and public works. 1 would
keep I'D the war until every English
val ship is blown from the seas, and
all of England's 1000 soldiers are
blown from the face of the EARTH"
Most likely this is q dodge to start
the collection of another skirmishing
fund.
One of the results of the freight
war last winter is the delaulting of
the Utah Central railway in its reg
ular quarterly dividend. The Salt
Lake Herald thus explains it: "All
the roads were crowded to their ut
most, during the railroad war, to car
~ the goods that were rushed in un>
der the cut rates. When they were
restored, it was discovered that the
Territory was we'll supplied with
goods, and only now are stocks get
ting low and freights coming in"
Our Mormon contemporary might
have added there is altogether too
much dead-heading of Latter.day
priests and their families over that
road for the interest Of the stock
holders during a pressure.
It has been said by some newspa-
per writers that the terrible sacrifice
of life and property in Cincinnati
during the riot, may yet be justified
by results. The first indication that
this prediction is likely to be verified
comes from Governor H0adly, who
in q published interview, said he
should recommend a revision of the
jury law in Ohio, even to the extent
of abOlishing all expenses and CON-
polling all citizens when drawn to
serve. He says the root of the diff
Guilty in the execution of the crimi-
nal laws lies in the unwilliDgness of
reputable citizens to respond to the
call of public duty. When things
get to the worst, says an old adage,
they mend.
The panic reported In the Chicago
grain market a few days ago is not
fully healed, and the continued de.
cline in prices Is threatening to the
stability of several heavy operators.
1t is now generally admitted that
1.-The dollar basis'' must be perma-
nently abandoned, and a new stand
ara of IS cents adopted. This retro
cessiOn Of value is caused by the
largely extended area devoted to this
food staple in the United States, and
also to the heavy stock of bread
stuffs held in Europe This consid-
cradle reduction on the 500, 900, 900
bushels of wheat raised in this cOun-
try every year, will make y heavy
diminution in the profits realized by
the farmers. Operators in this arti-
ole will have to move cautiously for q
while.
1t is now said that Chief Justice |
Axtell will be removed from the Su-
preme bench of New Mexico. Mr..
E. B. Weigand, special examiner Of
the department of justice, has sub
mitted q report to the Attorney Gen
era in which he his gave opinion that
''wnile there was nothing against the
integrity of Axtell, he was untitled
tor the position he held because of
his unjudicial Methods" Axtell was
Governor of Utah for two years, I'M

On the 9Th inst. the House passed
the bill declaring that the Supreme
Court of any Territory shall consist
Of q chief justice and three associate
justices, and providing that every

judicial districts and a district court
shall be held in each by one justice of
the supreme court The bill will
pass the Senate without doubt. The
is q good one and has long
been urged by the press of the Terri
