LONDON, Aug. lS.-Mr. Francis, the
gentleman who yesterday hoggcd Mr..
Pcarcc, of the ship building firm of John
Elder & Bros, for alleged betrayal of the
former daughter, to-day instituted Grim
inal actien against Pearce. Yesterday
the latter explained the difficulties to a
reporter OF the Pail Mail Gaseue by say
ing that the charge of seduction was false
and that it was a case Of blackmail of n
particularly bad kind. For this statement
Francis brings suit. He says he thought
Pearce had done him wrong sufficiently
cruel in betraying his daughter under the
guise of friendship, without adding the
insult of describing the family as black
mailcS. Pcarce is a rich Conservative,
and had been selected by the Tories to
stand as their candidate for Glasgow in
the coming election. Mr.. Francis is a
gentleman of respectable standing in
society and is a member of the govern
ment civil service, being an inspector of
customs.

Cheating the Revenne-

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. l3.-Another
seizure of Peoria whisky was made to-day
at a railaoad depot in this city. The cargo
numbered about $50 packages and was
composed of funny barrels, OF the same
pattern us those recently found in certain
wholesale liquor establishments. 1t is
stated this fraud upon the revenue is
confined, SO far as known, to several large
concerns in Peoria. Three of them have
already been detected, it is alleged, in
using barrels and shipping them far and
wide. To Just what extent this fraud has
been practiced cannot be told, but the
scheme is regarded us one of the most
gigantic swindles ever perpetrated upon
the government 1t is said the entire
country has been flooded with crooked
barrels. They are so constructed that the
gaugers rods and c~alliprrs don't give 4
true register of the contents of the pack
age. When the liquor has been poured
out into buckets it has been found to meas
ure \ greater quantity than the giugers'
rods showed. This led To the investira-
ton and seizure

A Chinese Firm Fails.

SAN FRANcIsco, Aug. l3.-Ilop Koe

ufactwers of boots and shoes on the coast,
have failed. Liabilities $4,000; assets
unknown. The firm has large and pros
porous branch house in Victoria, b. c..
When the San Francisco house got into
financial trouble. the Victoria house repu-
dated all connection with it and dishon-
ored its drafts. This was the immediate
cause of the failure. The members of
the firm are said To be- worth over $500
900. The question is whether the erodi-
tors can succeed in reaching them. The
principal creditors are believed to be
among white leather dealers and tanners
of this city. but who they are, Hop Kse
refuses 10 say. This is the first Chinese
failure ofany importance that has occurred

NORWOOD. Aug. l3.-The damage by
the cyclone here last night is somewhat
overestimated. The loss of life so far
reported includes only Michael Martin,

Alter Three Months.

Three months ago a Democratic
Administration was established at
Washington.
For twenty-four years before, the
Republican party had been in power
there, and it had been kept in power
in large part because the people were
fearful of any change.
The transfer Of the Government from
the Republicans to the Democrats
was dreaded by not a few timid Dem
ocratic capitalists. They were afraid
it would provoke disturbance which
would he hurtful to their pecuniary
interests, and for that reason many
of them voted for Garfield when at
heart they preferred Hancock, This
feeling OF the business community
was, of course, adroitly stimulated by
Republican politicians, who also kept
alive distrust of the South and philan.
thropic solicitudes with regard to the
freedmen under a Democratic Admin.
istration.
Well, we have now had Demo
cratic Administration for three
months The Union still exists, nc
disturbance has occurred, the wheel,
of the Government move smoothly
there has not been single jar. In
stead of the danger apprehended from
change, the people find only i'm
provemenJ and more reason for conf
dence. The mere sweeping out of tn,
Republicans from the White Hous,
has wrought great reformation, anC
when they go from the Offices the goo(
work will be more emphatic.
The South introduces no discord
and makes no pretentions but quietl,
pursues its path of progress, only hap
pier and more hopeful than before
The freedmen are on better term
with their old masters than ever be

Danger in change? Not much.-

The COleridge Libel COmprO-
mise.

LONDON, June 9,--It is announced
to-day that the terms Of the settlement
OF the SANDER case of Mr.. Charles w.
Adams against Lord Coleridge have
been arranged as follows; The Lord
Chief Justice settles an income of
5000 yearly on his daughter, Miss
Mildred, on the occasion of her mar
riage to Mr.. Adams, and the legal
disputes are to be referred to arbitra-
ton, In the conference attending
the compromise of the suit Bernard
Coleridgo, the defendants son, stated
that the letter he had written to his
sister Mildred and on which Adams
based his libel suit of last year was
written in confidence and was based
on statements made to him by other
persons and which he believed at the
time Lord Coleridge said that at no
time had he intended In the letters on
which the present suit was brought to
cast any reflection ON his daughter,
who, he declared, would be restored
to the same position in his household
she would have occupied ii the law
SUIT had never been inaugurted.

C.lsto,n IEou.e Ierar,ns.

1t is doubtless true that the New
York Custom House has for years
been an important factor in the ma
chinery of the republican party. AS
an exponent, however, of the great
moral ideas OF which that party has
so long claimed the monopoly, it is
decidedly discouraging, AS a proof
that the republican party knew how
to profess purity OF administration
and at the same time to practice cor
ruption in its most offensive forms,
recent developments are conclusive.
Abuses in the collection of revenue,
in the differentiation of invoices, in
allowance for damages entirely dis
proportionate to the amount OF dam
age existing, demand investigation OF
the most careful kind.
That these abuses do exist, and have
existed i'll the past to the great detri-
mentof honest merchants, is beyond
dispute. They are premium on an
Uttempt to defraud the government OF
its proper income, and they are inju-
rious to the general business OF the
country, They crowd out the mer.
chant who happens to be burdened
with conscience and afford undue
opportunities of gain to the unscrupu
lous.
The administration may feel sure
that the people are with it in the re
forms which it has instituted. Presi
dent Cleveland promised that public
offices should be conducted on strictly
business principles, and in keeping
this promise, without fear or favor, he
will win the gratitude OF every righ
minded man in the country. Wher
ever there is fraud it should be dus
out and exposed. Economy and hon
esty are what the people demand, anC
all changes which are necessary tC
their realization should be made with
out hesitation and without Il though
for anything else than the public ser
vicc.-N. Y. Heruld.
