In will not be for lack of stringent laws
If prohibition fails to prohibit in Iowa.
a bill just introduced in the Legislature
OF that state goes further, we believe,
than any statute inspired by a like mo.
tive in any other State in the Union, 1t
gives the Governor power to remove ar
b%itrarily the Mayor of any town or CITY
in which the liquor law is violated, and
to put in his place some one who will en-.
force the statute, The weakness of the
measure probably lies in its severity. 1t
ia doubtful if public opinion in any com,
munity would long allow such Executive
interference in local affairs as this act
would permit and sanction. Still, since
iowa is the field where the prohibition
movement is on trial, it might be well to
pass the law if only to see what the con
sequences would be.
The colored people of Charleston, S.
c., have formed a Mutual Protective Tn.
ion to assist them in securing Justice in
the courts of that State. As the great
majority of the race are poor and unable
to employ counsel, and as = black man
charged with Il crime is presumed 10 be
guilty in that neighborhood, the result is
that white iurieS convict the innocent
and the guilty indiscriminately. The
colored people have now determined TO
see what organized effort can do toward
remedying this state of things. Their
condition is somewhat similar to that in
which the Cincinnati people found them
selves two years ago-with this difference
however; The Cincinnati juries failed to
convict proved criminals, while the
Charleston iuries are too ready to convict
- prisoner, provided his skin is black.
The people in the former city took the
law into their own hands and tried by
mob violence to do what the courts had
failed to perform. The Charleston ne
groeS, with much more cause for com
plant, unite in u peaceful organization
for th' purpose OF giving legal aid to
those too poor TO protect themselves. The

Why He Didn't Remove His Hat.


A former Buffalonian, with his
wife,. not long ago visited his mother
in this city. His return to bis former
home was signal for his friends to make
it as pleasant for him as they could, the
consequence was succession Of jolly
evenings and late hours. The mother
who was something Of an invalid, slept
on the ground floor just off from the hall,
and the son, with his wife, was given the
guest chamber upstairs. One evening,
or more correctly, perhaps, one morning,
the wife was awakened by her convivial
spouse's entering the room, and, being
thoroughly aroused, she observed that
while he had removed his overcoat, his
hat was still on his head.
"Why, my DEAR" she expostulated,
"why didn't you take your hat off down.

Poisoned By Phosphorus.

London Standard.
On the 18th of the last month the
daughter of an official of the Austro-
Hungarian railway, named Irma Ser
cenyi, a handsome girl of seventeen, and
well known in the best middle-class So
ciety of Pesth, died there. Suspicion
having been aroused, post norton ex-
animation of the body was made, which
made it clear that the unfortunate girl
had been poisoned by PHOSPHORUS. The
body remained in the town hospital dur
ing the police Investigations, which last
ed about week, and eventually SER
want confessed that on March Is, Irma
had quarrel with her step-mother, and
poisoned herself in consequence. 1t ap-
pears that about eleven in the forenoon
she took the poison in her room, where
she was left unattended, screaming in a
most heartrending manner all day and
night until four the next morning, when
she died. Neither father nor step-mother
entered the room during all these seven
teen hours of fearful torture, the latter
further forbidding the servants to enter
until the screams had ceased, after which
the doctor was sent for. The father was
a former officer in the army, aged SO,
and the stepmother was % years of age.

After thinking the matter over little.
Justice Hall concluded to accept the old
mans offer, and together they made the
trip. They had very little difficulty in
finding the money in a fair state of pre-
servation. all of it redeemable, in fact,
and on counting it Hall found himself
the possessor of $1,000 in greenbacks.

With His Neck Broken.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Frank Spencer, young man living at
Elizabeth, while exercising in gymna-
SUM in April, 1888, fell from horizon
tai bar. He was carried home unconscious.
The doctors who were summoned said
he had broken his neck, and that he could
not live an hour. After four days, how
ever, consciousness returned, but he could
not move muscle below his head. He
fingered in this condition for two years,
and then DR.. Morris, ;of Bellevue Hospital,
and other surgeons performed an op-
Grafton intended, to make life less
burden for the young man. An incision
was made in the back Of bis neck and
down the spine, eight inches from the
base of the skull, and the vertebrs were
exposed. It was found that splinters of
the vertebre and other pieces of bone
had been crushed into the spinal column,
killing the nerves and checking circula-
ton of the blood, producing paralysis.
1t was hoped by the surgeons that the
portion of the spinal column which had
become dead could be taken out, and the
two live ends Of the column joined to-
gether. These were taken out and the
parts were thoroughly cleaned. It was
then found that the distance, four and a
half inches, was too great to bring the
severed ends Of the spinal cord together.
The incision was sewed up and the patient
from the operation, DR.. Nor

suits had not been obtained yet the Life
Of Spencer would be prolonged and at

AN ENGLISH TELEPHONE SUIT.
A Little About the History of the Inven-
ton Brought to the Front.

A Little About the History of the Inven
ton Brought to the Front.
London Times.
Mr.. Justice North delivered Saturday
last a judgment in telephone suit which
indicates strange perseverance of the
mischievous practice of charging in ia
vor of powerful monopoly the claims OF
a patentee. The patentee in this case
was the notorious, Edison, whose sole
claim respecting that part of the tele-
phone which goes by his name is defined
in these words; 81 claim as my inven-
ton the combination in this instrument
with diaphragm or tympan of electric
tension regulators" The instrument of
Edison consists of several parts-"the
diaphragm" the "tension regulator"
the mouth ''tube," and the ''adjusting
screw" but he disclaims any right to
the latter details. A Mr.. Bassano, a
small telegraph engineer, of Derby, had
ingeniously devised telephone in which
the mouth-tube was retained, with the
regulator, but without the diaphragm.
Mr.. Justice North has, however, decided
that because tube can be made to dis
charge the functions of the diaphragm,
therefore it is a diaphragm, and con-
demned Mr.. Bossano in long-winded
judgment requiring nearly an hour for
delivery. We recommend to Mr. Justice
North the following argument: A horse
can be used in combination with cart,
but steam engine can be used to dis
charge the same functions as the horse.
Therefore the man who uses steam
engine infringes the use of horse. Only
in this case the combination can not be
patented. The extraordinary reason
given by Mr. Justice North for thus
stretching beyond all right and reason
the meaning of the perfectly plain term
diaphragm" was that Edison, being the
original and first inventor of the tele-
phone, had the utmost right to protec-
ton. The real fact, which Mr.. Justice
North ought to have known, is this;
That in 1876, when Graham Bells tele
phone was making sensation in the
states, the then president Of the Western
Union Telegraph company, Hon. VIII
liam Orion, came to Mr.. Edison, an OPP
orator in their employ, bringing with
him manuscript account Of Philip Refs
much earlier telephone Of 1861, and beg
ged him to construct telephone, so as
to outrival Graham Bell. Edison stated
this on oath several years afterward.
Yet this is the man in whose favor JUS
tice North stretches the term "dia-
phragm," so IS to include not only a
speaking tube buteverything else through
or at which one can speak through a |
telephone. The doctrine Of benevolent
as the law puts it, IN pat
emit cases is always essentially unjust. |
It is unjust to the patentee to interpret
his claims so as to limit them to less than
what he Is entitled to. It is equally un-
Just to The puh1ic and other inventors to
widen them beyond the meaning Of the
inventor'eoH wof1A

A Foreign American City
N


There are over 10000 people in the
Fourteenth ward of Chicago, of whom
only 1874, or hardly four per cent, are
Americans. The Americans rank lower,
in proportion to numbers, than any other
nationality. There are some ten Ger
mans to each American, four Scandinavia
ans, four Poles and two Irishmen. The
English tongue is very little spoken and
very little known within the precincts of
this ward, in city which claims to
represent American ideas, but has, it
seems, very few American to represent
them. Chicago is the most foreign city in
the world, and whatever spirit it evinces
is the result of the friction there of
all the nationalities of Europe. 1t is a
cosmopolitan triumph, development of
foreign energy and work, largely direct
ed, it is true, by American enterprise and
capital.

"Their Places"

|
What right have strikers to the places
they have vacated? Here is touched the
root of nine-tenths of the difficulty be-
tween employers and employed. CUES.
tions of wages and rules can be arbitra-
ted. But the claim often made by men
on a strike that the places vacated still
belong to them, and cannot be Justly
filed by anybody else, and must be re-
stored to them as body before there
can be any settlement, is one that never
can be arbitrated. In the nature of
things there is nothing to arbitrate. If
this claim of such workers had any
foundation at all no owner has any con-
troll over his property, nor have unem-
ployed laborers any rights as freeman.
When men cease to work they exercise
an indisputable right as citizens. But
they do SO at their own risk. They va
cate certain places, which it becomes not
only the right but the clear duty of en-
ployers to fill at once, if they can. Pub
lie interest requires that work shall not be
interrupted. If persons can be found to
do the work, it is duty to employ them.
It would always be impossible to fill
places under such circumstances, if
employers could not promise permanent
engagements. Hence it is indispensable
to public interest, and an essential part
of the ownership of property and the
right to manage it at all, that an en-
ployer should be entirely free to hire a
free workman instead of any man who
vacates place. It is no longer ''his
place." By his own act he has deGber-
ately put from him all claim whatever to
it. From that instant he has exactly the
same right to be employed in that place
that any other unemployed worker has,
and not bit more.
If men comprehended this fact they
would not SO often be guilty of injustice
and cruelty to- other workers who fill
places voluntarily vacated. But there is
a strange idea prevalent among working
men that they can vacate a place and
still retain it. They seem to fancy that
they can refuse to be employed, and yet
retain right to play dog in the manager
and require that no one else shall be
employed in their stead. Nothing can
be more unreasonable or more unjust to
all unemployed laborers. Strikers who
assert this thing are simply putting |
their hands on what does not belong to
them. These same men would not stoop |
to claim as their own another mans |
watch or tools. But after forsaking a
place and refusing to fill it they assert
that another free working man who offers
to fill it has no right to do so. That is
wrongfully claiming part Of his proper
ty. Yet this mistaken notion is at the
bottom of most of the acts of violence
with which strikes are disgraced, and of
most of the difficulties in adjusting
strikes.
The rule of common seose sufices for
this case. he who refuses to fill place
knows that an employer has from that
instant right to fill it if he can, and
that the employers first duty will thsn
be to stand by those who come forward
10 do the work This is the radical eror
Of the strike as mode Of adjusting Ia
Dor difficulties. The men abandon!
places and stop work, instead Of submit
ing their claims to arbitration and con- h
