The London Globe says: "But our
great fear AS to the industrial future Of
this country in its inevitable rivalry
with the United States, lies in the
more perfect organization Of our COM
petitor. The American is par excel
lence " mechanical inventor. His
natural ingenuity, fighting against
the artificial enhancement of prices
resulting from the prevalent fiscal
system, has driven him to seek relief
in mechanical assistance. He has
compensated for dearness of material
in cheapness of production. Every
workman in every manufacturing
center In stimulated to study and
master the machine under his charge,
with view to improving it. Mechani-
cal development is part Of the charac-
ter of the nation. We may be sure
that the country which produced the
grain elevator, the oil pipe pumps,
machine-made watches, the high
speed printing machines, the ring
frame, and other inventions without
end, will develop still greater creative
powers under the stimulus ola grow
ing export trade. Where shall we be
then? The relations also between the
capitalists and labor classes in the
States are more of a nature to encour-
age production and to develop the
capacities of rising generations. Great
er attention is given to the physical
and moral well-being of the American
artisan than is considered to come
within the sphere of duty Of the Brit
ish or European manufacturer. A
certain spirit of emulation prevades
the laboring classes on the other side
of the Atlantic, in the place Of the
leveling down to general average
which prevails in this country. The
American artisan works for himself,
KNOWING that his success will be rec
ognized and encouraged. He seeks to
rise, and his industry progresses with
him. Are we doing all we should and
all we might do this side to keep pace
with this progressive movement?
We fear not, and yet such social ad-
vance leaves all indelible mark on
its generation, and expresses itself in
in good merchandise and
low prices.'

cided signs of intoxication John Buck

Professor Huxley says: For myself
l look upon simple knowledge by itself
as of far less Importance to the artisan
in his career in life than O number of
other qualities. I do not say that
knowledge is not an extremely good
thing; but if man Is to make good
workman, Tor anything in practical
life, you must give him an education
that fits him for the conditions of life
with which he has to deal, and you
will not give him that education by
filling his head with a number of in
tellectual distractions, or even by
giving him the largest acquaintance
with scientific principles. And 1
think it a profound mistake, consider
ing the career to which the majority
Of artisans or persons in that class of
life are necessarily bound, ever to
take them out of the wholesome dis
cipline of practical contact with the
realities of life, for the mere sake of
giving them greater or. less amount
clined to do 50 may always pick up
knowledge. and he may do so at the
same time that he is getting his edu-
cation, in the highest sense of the
word, out of his contact with the rer
alities of his daily life; but if you
make bookworm of him, if you take
him away from all that contact with
reality and turn him back afterward
into it he has lost touch of life.
I speak with the greatest hesitation
because I have nothing to do with in
dustral pursuits; but 1 have had
much to do with mankind in many
stations in life, and it seems to me
that what is wanted In foreman is q
man of energy, punctuality, business
habits,an power of dealing with men,
all of which things are not to be got
out of books or laboratory work. These
qualifications are TIE most essential
qualifications in a foreman, and what
you want besides In such t. mon - Mt

ficiently trained to be able to deal with

knowledge sufficient to enable him to
know where to go to find more If he

The Lamborn road machine has
been given a number of trials on the
streets during the past week, by J. r.
Perkins, the agent for them. The
machine did excellent work and it is
more than probable that the village
council will purchase one Of them for
service on the streets. Something of
the kind is needed, not only in Nor
ris but in every village and township
where roads are to be made.
The TRIBUNE has often reminded
the people who live in the country
tributary to Norris that they can do
much better to come and trade with
our merchants than they can by going
anywhere else. This is doubly true
now when the times have become so
close ard every dollar counts. 1t will
be found by trial that our stores in
this city can and do sell goods at rates
that make it pay to come to them.
Three friends of Mat Diedrich's
have been in Morris recently who
are land hunters. They left on Mon
day for Dakota but it is more than
likely that they will come back to
this county to buy Mr.. Diedrich
took considerable pains to show them
the lands to be had here and we are
sure the gentlemen are Intelligent
enough to see how much more yalu-
able Stevens county farm is than
any that Dakota can offer.
Yesterday morning VIM. Noting
made an assignment to a. A. Stone
for the benefit Of his creditors. This
action is taken in order to secure an
equitable division Of his property
among those to whom he is indebted
and prevent any from taking the full
amount of their claims by executions
to the detriment of others. Mr..
Noting is popular and industrious
young man and has many friends
who regret his financial embarrass-
ment.
The attention of our readers is
called to the new advertisement of
Charles Wilson which appears III this
issue of the TRIBUNE. Mr.. Wilson
has concluded to abandon farming
and give his whole attention to his
business in clothing and gents fur
nishing goods. He has added largely
to his stock and can supply customers
with anything wanted in his line.
If in need of new suit of clothes or
anything in his line, give Mr.. Wilson
call.
The TRIBUNE extends its sympathy
to DIR. Heenan. By vigorous use of
all of his natural and acquired ability
as politician he succeeded in crowd
ing himself into a certain kind of
prominence in Democratic circles
during the last campaign. He was q
delegate to the Chicago convention
and one of the committee who visited
| Cleveland to notify him of his nomina-
ton. This prominence, DR.. Heenan
deemed sufficient to entitle him to
anything to be found in the house.
He first applied for the Swedish
mission; afterwards for something
| over in Austria but in each case got
left. Later he wrote list of six good
places that would be quite acceptable,
placing the Governorship of Alaska at
the head, and received assurances that
he would get one out of the number.
But, alas! all of these places have
been given to others. The TRIBUNE
does not despair, however. The
Doctor is persevering man and we
still believe and hope that he will
get something somewhere.

LAKE PROVIDENCE, Aug. 28.-A.
R. Henderson, formerly a colored JUS
tice Of the peace and a prominent poll
tician in the days Of reconstruction
and occupying at present the position
Of United States collector of pensions
for the widows and orphans Of der
ceased colored soldiers, was arrested
here to-day by Deputy y. s. Marshal

name Of a deceased colored widow to
pension vouchers as well as the lame

and causing said vouchers TO be pre-
scented to the pension agent
at Knoxville for payment, and
also with forging the names
Of claimant ana witnesses for
restoration of a widow to the
pension rolls after she had died in the
insane asylum some months prior, and
she having been interdicted prior to
that time. Henderson figured extern
sively in the pension collection busi-

is largely due to the present
United States Senator George.
There can be little doubt that
if military government had pre-
vailed In Mississippi during the cleo
ton these figures would have been re-
versed, and this fact Is conclusive with
many why military rule should have
been continued, But to take that pO-
sitiOn, is to admit that the large negro
majority, with the few thousand whites
who acted with 1t was incapable Of
governing the State; and that the
white minority, unaided by the Federal
military force and without Federal
patronage, could govern it. A State
administration which cannot stand
alone has no reason Of being. / thought
to stand aside. Moreover, it is In
accordance with the fitness Of things
that the intelligent taxpayers should
have some voice in the control Of the
State that imposes the taxes.

CHAPTER VII.

Tread the woman's letter again and again

gust were strangely mingled; but the former
was the predominant sensation. In the first
place, il Mrs Wilson kept her promise of
secrecy, it seemed to me that all danger Of
suspicion falling upon Philippa was re-
moved. There would be no one else to make
known the fact that upon the night of Sir
Mervyn's death a wronged, distracted wo-
man left her home-a woman whose lffe,s
happiness had been clouded by the villains

aions, who in her temporary delirium might

ing our safety she may be urging on the
pursuit. Let me trust no one save myself.
For my loves sake, l was overjoyed to
hear that, supposing the woman's ste tement
and date were correct, Philippa was the
dead mans lawful wife. Not that this fact
for one moment palliated the guilt Of his In

my eyes by one iota my loves position.
Married or unmarried, to me she was all
that a woman could be. Though a black

her hands were unconsciouSly red with a
