How He Got a wife.

How He Got a Wife.
Among the arrivals at the North
western depot yesterday were strange
looking couple. the man wearing a
buffalo-,kin coat and the woman long
sack made Of the same material, a
dre-, trimmed with it, and shoes lined
with il. He was perhaps fortyycars OF
AGE. but she did not appear to be more
than twenty-five. After looking around

..The fact is, he observed, ''we arc

not 4 bonanza man. exactly I've got
enough to see this town with and I'm

After the porter had named over
half dozen hot>!s and made himself
otherwise agreeable the traveller insist
ed on introducing him to his wife.
When the porter was presented to Mrs
John Fellows the proud husband said:
"Thcrc now. Jennie, told you I'd

THE AOUEDUCT SLAUGHTER.

The attempts of the contractors to excuse
themselves for the series of disasters Whlch
have occurred at the new Aqueduct works are
not deserving serious consideration. III
asserting that the accidents are due to inc
neglect and carelessneSs of the men they
condemn themselves, for it is plainly their duty
TO protect those whom they employ against
even their own inattention. But in the case OF
the four men who were killed by the follower
falling upon them from the top OF the shaft, 1t
is especially clear that the method of working
was to blame. The plan followed was clumsy,
old-fashioned, and immnently dangerous. Inc
follower in such cases is sure to get caught
somewhere, and the men were expected by
exercising unusual vigilance, to make up for the
crudeness of the mechanism employed by the
contractors. SO also in the case OF the last
victim. who was crushed by a rock falling from
the roof of the tunnel.
1t is obvious that this tunnel should have been
tmberel; that at the least it should havesDeeh
carefully inspected before any one was allowed
to work there. But evidently no precautions
were taken. Human lie was held too cheap to
call for protection, and there was no sense OF
responsibility. In such circumstances the only
way to rectify the inhumanity OF employers Is
to bring them under the whip of the criminal
law. The loss of life at the Aqueduct has be-
come great public scandal. The pretence that
it was unavoidable Is impudently false. There
can be no question that it is attributable in the
main to gross carelessncss and shameful neglect
of duty on the part of the contractors and
superintendent, and they should be brought to
account for it. The deepest mines on the Com
stock, ranging from 1900 to 5000 feet in
descent. have been worked for years with n
tithe of the loss of life incurred in a few months
at the Aqueduct This fact alone proves the
trlvialty of the excuses put forward in behalf
of the culpabc persons. They should be pur-
sued in the courts energetIcally.

.1OHy G. CARLISLE. HrMORIST

U.
THE TRIBUNE's old friend, Samuel s. Cox,
having transferred his talents and accomplish
mcnts TO the banks of the BOsphOrus, a new
candidate for the hOnOrs of Congressional
humorst appears on the banks of the Potomac.
1t is Speaker Carlisle who would fain seize the
mantle of the vanished Sunset. His speech
on Saturday returning thanks for his
denomination to the Chair contained a
sentence well calculated to make laughter
hold both his sides and look well 10
his buttons. In my Judgment said
Mr.. Carlisle, "a full and complete rccog-
"ntion of Democratic principles in our Govern
"mcnt is essential, not only to the preservation
"of the rights ofindiyiduals and local commune
ties, but also to the perpetuation Of the Union
"of States
This conditioning the pcrpctuatOn OF the
Union upon the full and complete recognition
of Democratic pyinciples-we leave it to his old
friends i'm the XLNIllth Congress il MrCOy ever
perpctrated il hugcr joke than that. 1t takes
the truth of history to bring the joke out in
bold and irresistible relief 4 quarter of cen
tury ago there was grave doubt about the per-
petuation of the Union. Why Because of
the desperate attempt of Democrats 10 force
: n full and complete recognition of Democratic
principles upon the country. The patriotic,
level-hcadod American people were so stcnly
and unalterably opposed to such a recognition
that they went to war TO prevent 1t. lhey ala
prevent it the Union was preserved; Demo-
cratic principles did not receive full ana COM
plctc recognition they did receive trcmcn-
Jous set-back-some Of them, indeed, were
fatally injured. Democracy does not pretend
that it is not now the same in substance rs It
was when it acted as the manstay of rebellion
Ii is doing business ut the old stand with the
old principles. And Mr.. Carlisle tells his
brother Democrats that if there is not n full
and complete recognition of those principles
all that is left of thcm-thc American Union
must go! We rise to question of privilege
and confidently challenge the admirers of Mr..
Cox to produce from his speeches more potent
appeal to ones risbilltics.
We can imagine one thing funnier-just one
If the Prodigal Son on his return home had
taken his father aside and remarked Sire, in
4 NV Judgment a full and complete recognition
" of my principles as illustrated in my career is
Essential not only to the preservation of the
rights of yourself and my brother but also to
the perpctuatiOn of the family circle that
nerhaps would have been funnicr than the
Speakers great effort.
We venture to add word of advice to Mr..
Carlisle. If you are determined dear sir, to
supplement your other laurels with those of II
humorist, by all means be funny. But o, for
your own sake your friends and the blue grass
region, beware how you ever again allow your
self to be as funny as you can.

THE SENATE COMMITTEES DELAY.

No doubt it would require deep digging to
get at the truth concerning the passage OF Jacob
Sharp's Broadway franchise through the Board
of Aldermen last year. But it is a tempting
field for exploration. The Senate Committee
ought TO have entered it earlier. Their time Is
now short, and the spirit shown by some members
of the committee is not encouraging One or
two of them appear more anxious to cover up
rascalty than to expose it, and few OF them
seem to have been consumed with burning
zeal to lay bare all the iniquities OF the Alder
men of 1884 Prompt, sharp work might yet
accomplish much, but it must be pushed with
great energy. An executive session was not
held yesterday, Senator Days absence being
the reason given. OF course any eXcuse Will
do if Senators are not eager to take up the sub
iect, but Mr.. DAILY should be careful to afford
none. lie has had a good reputation as an
honest, faithful legislator but any appearance
of reluctance in regard to the proposed work,
unless he has some satisfactory explanation,
will hurt him badly.
The executive session should have been held
last week, and the committee should have been
busy with the investigation before this No
well-informel man doubts that the action of
some of the Aldermen last year was duo to
corrupt influence. The proof may be hard to
get. bat so was the proof of the crimes of the
Tweed Ring. Bank accounts were analysed
then. They can be Analysed now. If the facts
can be brought ont they may be useful in i'm
pressing the members of the present Board and
those of the Board of 1856, who will soon take
Office, of the Importance of keeping their hands
clean The immunity which the bribe-takers
of 1884 have thus far enjoyed has encouraged
some wild boasts IN irresponsible quarters that
matters have been fixed" at the City Hall for
the success of tho raid on Ffth-aye. This is
wholly incredible. In the face of the law on
the statutc-book and of the recently rendered

CALIFORNIA FRUIT IND EASTERN MAR |


CALIFORNIA FRUIT IND EASTERN MAR
hETS.
Senator Stanford has recently promised the
California Fruit Growers Association such rates
of freight to Ncw-Y York for their productions as
will enable them to organize shipments on
large scale Hitherto the carload rates have
been to n great extent prOhibltory. The
reduction promised averages from 10 TO 80 per
cent; an important difference The organiza-
tion of the California Frllit-GrOwcrs is
of recent date but it has already removed
some grave obstacles TO commerce. a
curious revelation has resulted from the first
careful collation. of domestic trade statistics.
1t appears that during the past year, out Of a
total of | ,O25 carloads of green fruit shipped
out of California, only four unbrokcn carloads
reached New York The San Francisco But
Ieiin thinks that this shows that the fruit
growers have heretofore "only reached tho
edge of the real market" New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and other large cities have
practically no representation in these ship
mcnts. The California fruit does not reach
them, or reaches them only in such driblets
that the supply is inappreciable.
The California theory OF the extent of the
Eastern market requires some important mOdif-
cation, however The tact is that but for the
blind greed of middlemen this market would
be supplied copously from neghboring sources.
The rapacity of dealers, not content with
reasonable profits, has practically killed the
popular demand for fruit. Should California
competition, operating through an exchange
controlled by the fru't-grOwcrS Of that State,
compel local dealers to lower their rates Of COM
mission, the result would be, not to give the
market to the Pacific Coast, but to demonstrate
the abundance and excellence of home prod
uce the facilities for transporting which would
render serious rivalry on the part of the Cali
fornia orchards and vineyards impossible.
With the citrus fruits there is perhaps n better
prospect. California can beat Sicily in oranges
already, and may some day compete on equal
terms with Florida. 1t will not, however, do
for the California fruit growcrs to put too much
