why He stopped His Paper.

An ARIZONA man who subscribed for re
ligloUs paper some time ago sent letter to
the editor to stop it, in which he said: I'VE
find the GtIa H0aoler, our local paper, much
llvelier than your milk-a and water affair.
Besides, you haven't played a square game in
your ads My wife bought pair of the cor
sets you advertise, and blamed if they didn't
bust in three weeks, and we use them now to
mend the chicken coop. l took half a dozen
OF the dead shot pills you puffed up In a read =
ing notice week before last, and the next day
was so sick that all the doctors in the town
published bulletins about my approaching
death, and the boys said l had the jim jams.
For these reasons have determined to quit
your paper and read the H010ler only. As l
know it always lies unless it is paid to tell the
truth, 1t can't lead me into temptation"

Gen. Gordon Not Anxious to Go TO
Russia.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald, referring to the report
That Gen. John b. Gordon having been
mentioned in connection with the Russian
mission, says:
A member of the Cabinet, in reply TO a
question on this subject, said: "Gan.

Russian mission il he thought that he
would take it. But Gordon does not wish
that or any other place. He has private
business Of great Importance 10 himself
and his family which requires his atten.
ton in this country. He has IN the most
generous manner been helpful TO others
from his State, but he has not allowed his
friends TO bring forward his own name for
any public position whatever, and for the
reason | give you / know he has deter

The Hot Springs Case.

There was never, perhaps, more eff
fective blow struck at mob law than the
verdict in the case of Nose Harris against
the committee Of fourteen of Hot Springs,
Ark, which was rendered in the United
States District Court at Little Rock last
week. If there ever was case where
mob law was iustitiable in a civilized
community, that OF the gamblers and out
laws who had made Hot Springs almost
uninbabitable by good people was one.
1t seems that the law was powerless
against them, and when the better citi-
Zens organized a committee and warned
them and then expelled them from the
city the act met with general APP
prOYal in every part of the country.
Now, this committee is made to smart
in damages, and each individual member
of it will doubtless be made to suffer in
addition to the verdict already rendered
against them collectively. A criminal
prosecution against the members of the
committee would probably have amount
ed to nothing. They would most likely
have been acquitted. public sympathy
was so great in their favor, and the prose-
cutor would have had no appeal, however
much the letter Of the law might have
been violated by the verdict. But a civil
suit In the United States Court was diff
ferent thing. Had the verdict been for
the defendants it would certainly have
been set aside and new trial granted
until a proper verdict resulted. There
was no legal defense that could be made.
The plea of provocation in mitigation of
damages was only good as against conse-
quential damages.
The principle on which this verdict is
founded has always been clear enough, but
this case will so impress it on the minds
of the people that few men who are
financially responsible will dare in the
future TO take a hand in administering
MOB law, and others in many instances
will not care TO do the dirty work which
their more opulent neighbors shun. The
result can but be to diminish the number
Of cases in which persons charged with
crime are banished or executed without
/ the pale OF courts Of Justice.
! Another result will be TO make people
more careful as to the character of the
men they select to fill the places Of judges,
/ Jurors, court officials. police officers, etc.
On these must the community depend for
| protection from gamblers and outlaws.
/ II has been seen that when the criminals
/ themselves get control Of the police courts
/ IL Is very difficult to Dust them. This
makes it Of infinite importance that the
very best citizens in every community
should take an active interest in the se-
lection of officials, and never let it he
possible for such officials TO be controlled
by the vicious classes.
The verdict looks like a hardship on the
citizens Of Hot Springs. but it is in ac-
cordance with the law. 1.-TWO wrongs
never made a right" Three wrongs
never made a ri. ht. In this instance the
better classes Of Hot Springs committed
the FIRST wrong by not taking prompt and
effective measures 10 secure proper OFF.
cials, and the outrages Of the outlaws and
mob violence were the result.

The Mormon elders at CHATTANOOGA
boast that they are having better success
than ever in the South, and that they are
sending converts West as fast AS they are
procured instead Of waiting until TALL and
shipping them in a body. At the same
time IL Is said that Mormonisrn is rapidly
spreading in Idaho and the other North
western Territories. And this is stated
while the country seems TO be under the
impression that polygamy is almost on Its
last legs. 1t is probable, however, that
the elders are disposed to eXaggerate the
Importance Of their work. Perhaps IL
would be a good idea for the Ignorant PEG.

Chicago. June 2-Shortly after S
O'Clock this afternoon heavy storm of
thunder. lightning, wind and rein struck
this city, lasting an hour. No damage
was done in the principal business por.

suburbs tell of numerous buildings
struck and several demolished. John
Montagus, q watchman at the McCor-
mick reaper works, while standing near
a fire alarm box, received shock. from
the effects of which he has since died. A
number of other persons were injured,
but none fatally. The lightning struck
the south wall of the new baseball
grounds, which is of brick, ten feet high,
demolishing 800 feet of it and badly
shattering the rest. The storm was
especially severe in the town of Lake,
one man standing near chimney get.
ting his head fractured and child be.
ing badly bruised in shanty which the
bolt struck and nearly bursted. The
flag staff of the Transit house was struck
and splintered, and q number of persons
near by temporarily disabled by the
shock. At 1855 tonight there is a
repetition of the afternoon storm. The
lightning is binding and the rain falls
IN torrents. Some fear is felt regarding
the safety of vessels on the lake.

A misunderstanding appears to exist
relative to the new postal law which is
to take effect the first of next mouth.
The law provides that letters weighing
one ounce or any fraction of one ounce
may be sent to all parts of the United
States for two cents. Under the present
postal law, upon letters weighing half
an ounce, or any fraction thereof, two
cents is charged and any excess of q
half an ounce is chargeable at the rate
OF two cents for each half ounce. The
new law does not actually reduce letter
postage, as many suppose, bnt simply
permits the sending of full ounce in.
stead Of half ounce for two centa, 1t
is important for the public to bear this
in mind. A half ounce letter cannot be
sent for one cent. All letters mailed
under postage of less value than two
cents will 60 to the dead letter office
The law permitting the sending of 9
full ounce for two cents will take effect
on the 1st of July.
