lr Is now said in some circles that
Mr.. Blaine defeated Mr. Davenport in
New York because he wanted to
squclch the mugwwmps and all who
have had TO do with them. Mr.. Blaine
has probably not wcpl much at the de-
mise of the mugwump, but there Is
nothing to show that he worked against
the Republican ticket in New York or
that If he had the result would have
been much different from what it was.

VICESBURG, Miss, March 20 The trial Of
DR.. F. H Cook for murder, which has been
progressing here for week, was concluded
by verdict Of acqdittal The high stand

intimate with HI ) Lille Cook, handsome
and attractive daughter of Dr. Cook, and
hal loft her fathers house. and for a short
time had bsan living At an isolated house On
AZ ad joining place. Cole was killed just as he
turned from the highway into the road lead
ing 10 this house.
By a strange coincidence Miss Lille, who
was returning home from town, was the first
to come upon the dead body. When the
neighbors and passers by assembled, and DR.
Cook came upon the scene, his daughter ex-
claimed 20 him: You have had your re-

Union Pacific and Pacific Mail Likely to
Indulge in Fight.
New YORK, March 20 Tho speculation
in stocks continues to be influenced largely
by the course of the stocks that are affected
by the quarrel between the Pacific rail
roads. Pacific Nail and Union Pacific have
again been the weakest stocks, as well as
the most active Material declines have
been recorded in the price of both.
1t was announced Wednesday morning
that the Union Pacific has given notice to
the steamship company of its intention to
discontinue the payment of the subsidy that
it has paii for years TO the Pacific
Mail, in order to secure the main
teinaace of rates ON through traffic by that
company. OF late, these payments have
averaged between $4,000 and 500, 00O
per month. The composition Of the Hunt
ington Sunset route Ter Pacific coast bust
ness, has caused the Union Pacific to give
the notice referred to. For some time the
Union Pacific has been hamperei in its
through business by the action of the
Pacific Mail in delaying freight received
by it; and it has now decided TO cut loose
from all transcontinental traffic alliances,
except with its eastern connections, in order
to be in shape for fight The Pacific Mail
people think the notice more of bluff to OBJ
tain reduction Of the monthly payments
than anything else, but intimate that il il is
persisted in they will make the conflict as
warm as they can.

A PRIMA DONNA IN TEARS.
Nile. Van zandt Captures a Partisan
Audience.

PARIS, March 20. Mile Van Zandt reap
peared before Partisan audience Wednes-
day night in "Lakme." The event attracted
all Paris. For the last ten days all sorts of
scandalous incidents have been limited at,
and it was predicted that the entrance at the
Opera Comique would in its way be
as thrilling as that of the lion-tamer in the
cage OF lions in the Cirque d'Hiver. As the
curtain rose the expectation OF the audien CO
was intense. Soon the charming accents of
the American prima donna were heard be-
hind the scenes. AS she slowly
walked toward the sootlights, sing
ing the opening bars Of De-
iibe's charming opera, her mot0a
was painful Her nervous tension
affected her voice For an instant of anxious
suspense Iakrhe stood trembling and await
ing her fate The cheers burst forth; then
one hiss; then cheers again, till the house
fairly rang AL eyes were now turned upon
the graceful diva, who stood for some min
utes painting and weeping with excitement
She seemed to be overcome by the hearth
ness OF her welcome. Tie sight of her tears
was irresistible. From that instant
her success was certain. Her duo with
Mallika went better than ever. The duo
with Gerald was encored. AT the close of
the act Llkme was called before the curtain
and greeted with warmth which went far
to atone foC the cruelty shown on her last
appearance at the same theatre. Lakme's
rendering Of the legend, ia File du Paris, ;"
completed her triumph, and at midnight,
when the third act ended, Lakme had quite
Won back the tickle hearts of the Parisians

The VALUE OF CHANGE,

One of the most desirable results
springing inevitably from the inauguras
ton of change in the party in power is
that it will have happy influence in lead.
ing this people out of the quiCksands of
party politics in which they have been
laundering for the past fifteen or twenty
years.
The miserable sycophancy which stunts
the independencessof the victims of i'm.
perial rule, and which at times in Rome,
and alwhys in the despotism of the east,
leads to the superstitious belief in the
rulers possession of divine powers, has
not so thoroughly died out Of tie world
as to etface traces Of survival in the party
allegiance of our political organizations.
What mockery it must have appeared
to the familiars of Nero, Viteilius and the
rest OF such abnormally degraded rulers
to ascribe to them divine qualities and to
pay them divine honors. They saw them
in their daily lives, and could not have
helped seeing that they were anly human
beings like themselves, though of an ex>
ceptlonally low type.
That the old tricks of tyranny, by
which it retains its power through the
degradation of the people, have not yet
been forgotten by this generation we can
more readily see in an openly professed
oligarcby than here, where political equal
ity Is based upon the organic law; vet
quite recently instances have been offered
u.s. quite unintentially of the difference
there is between that state in which the
leaders of the party in power are to make
themselves universal political bosses, ac>
ceptlng willingly personal favOrs and
privileges, such as deadheading on the
railroads, accepting theatre boxes, houses,
bull pups or anything else, as the legiti-
mate evidence of their superiority to the
vulgar, and that in which the possible
master of the people feels himself their
servant, and to preserve his own dignity
shuns the obligation of free tickets and
pays for his railroad rides and theatre
boxes.

PITTsBURG, March 90 Robert II. Lati'
more, part owner and superintendent OF the
Yoagh Slope mines, situated between WesA
Newton and Swickley stations, on the Balti
more q Ohio railroad, is row lying in pre-
carious condition, the result of a murderous
attack made on him by over 100 riotous
miners and their wives. At the time
of the rumored failure Of B. 7. Rafferty, &
Co. Nh. Latimore closed down his mine and
discharged about 100 men, because rafferty,
had stopped taking coal from him and he
had no work for the men. Recently he
irAsed fifteen Of these men, who were part
owners of the mine, and put them to work,
paying them 3 cents This action on the
part of the superintendent displeased the
other miners, and Wednesday even
ing the wives of the dis
charged men visited the Yough
Slope mines and commenced hooting
and shouting at the miners who were at
work. While this was in progress the dis
charged miners themselves arrived on the
scene. Mr.. Latimore and Thomas Neel, his
clerk, left the mines on horseback, intending
to ride to West Newton. A short distance
up the road they observed the rioters wait

Ing the threatening looking crowd, but all to
no purpose, as the miners intercepted them.
Seeing this, the riders laid whip to their
horses and endeavored to ride through the
crowd, but they were attacked on all sides
with clubs, stones, and missiles of all kinds,
the result of which was that Mr.. Latinore's
face was terribly cut his skull fractured,
and his body badly bruised in many places.
Mr.. Neel was also severely injured by the
flying missiles. Both men succeeded in
reaching West Newton, where MIR. Lati-
more is now confined to his bed A justice OF
the peace visited Mr. Latimore, and he made
information charging over 100 Of the miners
and their wives with felonious assault and
battery and riot. A constable Immediately
arrested over forty of them, and expects &c
arrest the others Each will be held in
$1,000 bail for trial at court, which is eX-
pected they will not be able 10 furnish, and
as a consequence will be sent to jail at

those arrested, six Of them with their hus-

MIR. PARNEIL counsels no demonstra-
ton either for or against the Prince of
Wales on the occasion of the latter's visit
to Ireland, and the lawyers of the crown
say that is treason. If the judgment is
correct treason is SO easy to accomplish
that the time is not distant when it will
be necessary to muzzle the Irish, and in =
deed the English press, not to say the
people themselves. Doubtless there is
malice beneath the Parnell proclamation,
bat great nation cannot afford to rec
ognize it to the sacrifice of a great legal
and political principle.

In City and in Country.


"John," of Xenia, Ohio writes: There
are three boys OF US, and mother, who is G
widow, wants to get into the country so a.
to take us away from bad infiuen ces anC

any better for living on farmi My aunt
saws no, and mother says yes"
The experiment of sending a bad boy to
the country to cure him of his vicious habits
used to be very popular, but il you will find
one single case where real knavish lad was
ever transformed into a good boy by thi:
change of habitation I'll find you a hundred
cases where they were made worse than be-
fore. Whom boy becomes a rascal it takes
something more than a change Of scenery tc
effect cure.
IL does not follow thai, becatse boy lives
in village where there are dozen saloons,
lie must ever enter even one OF them 1heTt
may be bad boys there, but he Is not forced
into their company. He has better chances
to secure an education, better opportunities
for self-culture and his parents really have
more control over HIM
There are bad boys in the large cities,
but they are soon singled out by the law A
wild lad is quite as much un Ter the control
of his parents in a city like Detroit as he
would be on farm. Hundreds of country
boys come here to the colleges, and instead
of being ruined by the temptations of city
life they return homo wonderfully improved
in mind and manners.
