EDITORIAL NOTES.


We publish this morning the last of DIR.
Newman Smyth's series of discourses con-
cerning the relations of labor and capital.
His discussion of the subject has been frank,
able and lucid, and has attracted much at
tention.
There are at present three members of the
British House of Commons who have sat for
a period Of fifty consecutive years and over.
They are Mr.. Gladstone, who has sat for
ffty-three years; Mr.. Talbot, who was elected
in 1880 for Glamorgan, has represented the
same constituency for fifty-fv years, and G.
P. Villiers, who has been member for VOL
verhampton for fifty years.
Revival meetings are being held in Chicago,
and some notable Testimony" is given at
some of them. One man said that on coming
to Chicago year ago he was a ruined sot
and in his desperation wandered about the
city wishing somebody would sand-bag him.
Soon afterward another man arose and said
he was very wicked year ago, and that if he
had met the other brother wandering around
that night he could have accommodated him
to a sand-bagging, as he was in that business
at the time.
The principle that religious belief has moth
ing to do with mans credibility as wit.
ness is now acknowledged in the jurispru-
dence of most civilized countries, including
twenty eight States of this Union. But the
Massachusetts, Senate has just rejected it by
"a to 10, after luminous debate. One Sena-
tor held that man who ''denied under the
genial sunlight his belief in the Author of
that radiance ought to be punished for it
in some way. Another Senator opposed put
ting the man who denied the existence of a
God con an equality with the man who de-
voutly acknowledged it,"
There is place where labor is in demand
This is along the river Plata in South Ameri-
ca, wonderfully rich country, with salu-
brious climate and offering great opportuni-
ties. The Buenos Ayres Standard says:
Notwithstanding the enormous influx of i'm
migrants there is great and pressing demand
for hands. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
if the arrivals last year had been 200, 600 not
one of them would now be unemployed In
fact, some of the crops in the upper provinces
are lost for want of hands. Only last week
some hundreds of new arrivals refused 50 a
day and beef rations, which is double what
they could earn in the United States.
Rev. DR.. Curry takes very hopeful view
of the outlook for the new South. Among
the encouraging signs that he observes are
the educational and economic ones. Twenty
| five years ago it was penal offense to teach
a negro. To-day every Southern State taxes
itself to afford him schools. Twenty-Five
years ago the negro was property; to-day the
Southern whites are willing and glad to sell

A Burglars Bride.

From tie st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The entire reformation of man of previ-
ously bad character is seldom accomplished,
so seldom as to require the strongest evidence
to convince those who knew the man when
he did not walk Alright that his feet had
found better paths. But there is at least one
case in the city which demonstrates the possi
bility of that reformation. When Mr.. Moody
left st. Louis after his work of revival here,
a minister congratulating him said that some
hundreds or thousands had been converted
he had the number very exactly. Mr.. Moody
was not much cheered, and said: 81 always
ask myself will they stickP" and then add
ed, ssif one has been made better I ought to
be satisfied" The cone man''-at least an
exceptional case-was until January 13, 1881,
confined in the city jail charged with bur-
glary. Valentine Burke, who for more than
eleven years had been known to the police of
this city shrewd criminal, for twenty
five years had been known to the police and
government detectives of the East. At one
time he was engaged in showing counterfeit
money, and at that time was to some extent
intimate with Fred Biebusch, the coney man,
who will probably always remain in the
minds of local officers of the law as the in
carnation of all the qualities essential to the
manu1acGure auu CiSpOSal Ol couhleT1elt
money.
During the term of Burkes confinement he
had met, as have all those in the city Jail,
the band of people who are perpetually try
ing-with what must seem to them at times
small return-to show the inmates the diff
ference between a good citizen and crimi-
nal. He did not take kindly to psalm sing
ing, tracts, and prayers at first, but there
was one lady who found him at least a
spectfu1 listener to all she had to say. She
was very earnest, and he recognized the fact
that she must be very good. She thought
there was good in him, and had all womans
Illogical sympathy for his condition. His
life had not been one to make very good
man. In boyhood he was apprenticed to
blacksmith in Huntsville, Mo-, and being
badly treated he away. Burke learned
some lessons that did him much harm, but
he had drifted on, until seeing the life he
had lead wayneither pleasant or profitable,
he could not change it. During the many
conversations he had with the religious
people who visited him in Jail he showed
| them that he could not reform But that one
lady maintained he could She talked to
| him, read to him, and left him material to
read; in this lot was one of Moody's sermons
He read that carefully, studied it, and at
length, after much consideration, came to the
conclusion he would try and reform. Soon
after that time he was acquitted, and he

him land, and the old plantations are rapidly
breaking up. One other point that DR..
Curry makes, if it is true, is not to the credit
Of the North. He says that to-day it is the
Southern people that are practising econo-
my and the Northern that are learning extrav
agance, and he cites the fact that while the
expenses of Northern college boys have in
creased twenty to fifty per cent, and we no
longer see them working their way through
college, there are many Southern boys, sons
of once rich planters, who are living at col
lege on eight to twelve dollars month and
earning the money by teaching in the long
vacations.
One of the remarkable bills pending in the
New York legislature is that which provides
for the establishment of lodging houses in
New York city where tramps may be shell
tered fed, bathed and have their clothes dis
infected. The same applicant can be accom-
modated at the same house only three times
month. The number of these places to be
provided depends on the discretion of the
Commissioners of Charities and Correction,
subject to the authority of the Sinking Fund
Commissioners in hiring or purchasing
buildings for the purpose. The dodgers must
be required to 'sperform reasonable amount
of labor in return for such food and lodging"
and may be detained until it is performed,
but not later than II o'clock in the day. This
would suit the tramps well enough if there
were enough lodging houses SO that they
could use up month in going the rounds.
Henry Labouchere, the editor of London
Truth, has a habit of seeing things about
as they are. Speaking of the dynamite out
RACES he says: When I was looking at the
scene of the explosion in the House of Com
mons I could not help thinking how very
convenient our ideas of right and wrong are.
These Irish dynamiters seem to have de-
clared war against US, and they throw ex
plosive bombs at our buildings. Naturally we
object, and we regard these proceedings as
all the more monstrous because these bombs
endanger the lives of many innocent persons.
But wonder what a Soudanese thinks of
our throwing a shell into his village which
kills indiscriminately men, women and chill
dren2 Yet this is precisely what the steam
ers of our hero Gordon have been doing for
many months, though on what grounds or in
view of what benefit to humanity the Sou
danese know probably as little our own
ministers.

That is, until we take
account of stock, we
shall not have much to
say in advertisements.
We have quantities of
new goods bought to
arrive early in March.
Some are coming innow,
for instance the new
wash fabrics, Ginghams,
Seersuckers, Indigo o
!, Cambrics, &C.; but in
the meantime our chief
aim is to reduce stock,
and to that end there is
only one way that we
know of, namely, max
ing things cheap enough.
You may not want a
winter dress at this late
part of the season-lf
you do, you can buy the
material now ch ap
enough in all conscience
but how about Silks!
Black Silk is never out
of season, and the time
for Summer Silks is
coming. And yet just
on these two articles at
the present moment you
will find unprecedented
prices IN our store -un-
precedented is just. the
word-prices never be-
fore seen on the same
quality of goods.
Never mind why we
are selling these goods
now in such a way. We
have reasons that are
cogent enough to our
selves, and for YOU
why, if you get the
goods at three-fourths
to two-thirds of value
it's all pure saving. Our
competitors are worried,
not to know why, but
h0zO we can sell Silks
in that way. Well, we
are not under any obi
cation to explain, and if
you get Silk so cheap
you needn't puzzle over
the reason.
By the way, just one
word in anticipation Of
first week in March.

found himself with little money outside. the
Jail walls again. He went amoug the people
who had talked Christ and a good life to him
while in jail, but with few exceptions was
received with suspicion and coldness. Re-
formed criminals had proved before to be
anything but reformed. After time, al
most tired of being anything but what he
had been, he went to DR.. Miller, Methodist
minister, whose connection with the church
in this city is remembered among the people.
DR.. Miller took him in, gave him a tempora-
ry home, and at that gentleman's instance he
went to Mr.. William T. Larimore, frankly
told his history, his present condition, and
asked for employment. He worked in the
central elevator, and shortly afterwards was
given occasional employment by Sheriff
Mason as watchman, when such services were
required to guard goods levied upon.
After short service as watchman at the
elevator he returned permanently to the en-
ploy of the sheriff, and was soon afterwards
made deputy. He wrote good hand, was
very faithful, and so efficient that the other
deputies in the Office always said, eff Burke
can't find man he isn't in town." When
the present sheriff, Mr.. Harrington, succeed
ed to the Office he retained Burke special
clerk; on recommendations, he says, stronger
than any person seeking employment ever
brought him. But the nomadic part of
Burke's history is not i'll this. Last Thurs
day there was quiet wedding at the resi-
dence OF MIR. William L. Lar1more, Z ,9l3 Nor

which had its proper beginning during his
incarceration in the city jail. The lady who
now bears his name for twenty-seven years
taught in the public schools of this city
She was appointed March II, 1858, as a
third assistant. She taught in the Webster
school until 1871; during this time Eshe was
promoted to second assistant. In 1871 she
was transferred to Douglas school, and then
in 1879 was transferred to Webster; where
the year following she was twice promoted to
first assistant, ard then to head assistant
Her sister has occupied the position of head
assistant in one of the. Webster buildings,
while she occupied the same position in the
other building for some years. The teachers
of the school and Superintendent Long
speak of her in the highest terms of praise
When she resigned her position week prior
to her marriage the resignation was accepted

Kansas Crops Damaged.

PAoLI, Kas., July 5-AnOther heavy rain
storm visited us last night, continuing all
through the day. 1t seems general throughout
eastern Kansas and western Missouri, and this
is the sixth day of a cold rain. The work of
gathering the wheat crop is brought to a stand
still. Wheat in stacks has been ruined, and
estimates place the loss in Kansas alone at
900, 900 bushels, besides the damage to the
grain yet in the fields. Corn will probably sus-
tain little injury, but is backward twenty days,
as compared with the latest season for twenty
years. The state boards last estimate of 10 :
200, 600 bushels of wheat was based upon alleged
Improvements in southeastern Kansas, which
was expected to partially Offset disasters in the
great wheat belt of the center. This estimate
took no account of the weeks storm, and the
immense danger 10 stacked wheat in the more
favorable localities. Farther west there is no
wheat crop to be injured. Fears are now en-
tertained that potatoes will rot in the ground.
Minor crops suffer in like ratio. 1t is not
drouth, but too much rain and cold that Injuries
Kansas this year.

THE reason people despise patent medicines
is because they are usually recommended to
cure all diseases; this must be mistake, be-
cause the great success of the Shaker Extract
of Roots (Siegel's Syrup is due solely to the
fact that it is made to cure one single disease,
namely: Indigestion, for which it is a certain
remedy; the aching head, constipated bowels,
causing languor and fatigue, vanish as soon
as this remedy is used. A H Noon, of Fancy
Farm, KY, writes; May 81, 1885, as follows:

Gentlemen: Some time since, l had occa-
sion to doubt the genuineness of most of
the articles that appear in different papers
inregard to your wonderful PERUNA, and
my curiosity was so great that I deter
mined to write to one of the many people
that claimed to have been cured by this
medicine, and accordingly wrote to Mrs.
J. w. Reynolds, of New Lisbon, this
county, and received the following reply"
g received your letter this evening, and
in reply would say that PERUNA, 1 be-
lieve, saved my life, and can not recon-
mend it too highly; for all complaints it
is the best medicine in existence. 1t
seems to help you as you swallow it. 1
would advise any one suffering from my

vinced. Yours truly, Mrs. !. w. Rey-

WHAT THE SHAKERS BELIEVE ABOUT DIS
EASE. They have learned from many years
experience. that nine tenths of all the diseases
of mankind arise from imperfect digestion of
food; for this reason they have spent years of
labor in preparing the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Seigel's Syrup, and it operates like a
charm in all cases of indigestion. 1t is not
what we eat that makes us strong, but that
which we digest; this is the doctrine of the
Mount Lebanon Shakers; people who are weak
and languid, tired and feeble often wonder.
The reason is that the food eaten doesn't give
strength because it is not dgested; the Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegel's Syrup will restore
the digestion to healthy condition and drive
away the headache, the pain in the side and
back, the distress after eating and make the
sleep afford rest. B. B. Moore, druggist, at
Champlain, N. Y, writes, we are using your
medicine in my family for constipation, re-
suling from dyspepsia, with the most satisfac~
tory results. Use Shaker Tar Capsules for
coughs. At
