To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Jacksonville Times says that Mr., Stock
slayer has, by Infamous lying, arraigned Jonas
G. Howard before the voters of the Third con-
gressional district, upon charge of lodging the
vote relating to the widows and orphans in

To this should be added the salary of the three
Marion county judges, viz $4,000 making a
total difference Of $40 500. This method would
relieve the Supreme Court Of the great pressure
that now lies upon it. The opinions would be
fewer, less hastily prepared, more carefully
studied less contradictory, less expensive to the
legal profession and command greater conf
dence. Litigants would have their cases in that
carefully, with better understanding of them
expeditiousy, and with fewer likelihoods of
having committed mistakes Estates would be
settled more quickly and with less costs to
them. Cases in the civil courts would be tried
soon after filed with far less costs to litigants
Criminals would be more sure of conviction, if
not more quickly convicted And it is my opin-
ion that the entire people of the State would
eventually pay less for the administration of the
law and the securing of their rights than they
are now paying. W. w. THORNTON.

DISTRICT ASSEMBLY THIRTY.

Mr.. Litchman's Report.
LAWRENCE, Mass, Oct. 9

LAWRENCE, Mass, Oct. 81.
The LaIor convention voted to susi
tain the strike of the elastic web weavers
at Martin Bros factory in Chelsea. The
matter Of the locked-out shoe operatives at
tho Lees factory was taken up, and a large
sum of money voted to tn ir support until
the matter is settled The bakers presented
their case against Chick q Murray, the
bakers of Prince street, Boston, and it was
voted to order all members Of the knights
to let this bread 'severely alone"
labor union stamp was ordered that
should be placed on union-made leath.r,
and all shoe cutters are expected to see that
the stamp is on their leather
In his report Mr. Litchman recommended
the formation of state assembly, dividing
the state into districts, each Of which should
manage its local affairs, leaving to the state
assembly the management OF great trade
disputes which require the resources of the
entire state to successfully control. Many
matters of legislation press for consideration
which are beyond the power Of small district
assembly to secure. When the whole power
of the hundred thousand members in Massa-
chusetts is behind demand for Legislation,
that demand will be obeyed. The master
workman recommends that Vermont be al
lowed to withdraw from district assembly
Thirty and form new district. An assess
ment Of 81 per member is to be levied for
the purpose of fighting lockouts. A 100000
building for the order in Boston is urged

OF INTEREST TO UNIONS.
The Exclusion of Non-Unionists from
Employment.


NEW YORK, Oct 22-A most important
decision has just been rendered by Justice
Potter, which is of esp cial interest to all
musicians, and to all unionists. 1t will be re-
membered- that the Musical union objected
to the performance of any of their mem
bers in company with an imported obo
play~a engaged by Theodore Thomas and
enforced th If objection by fines and
threatened expulsion. 1t was in vain that
Mr.. Thomas urged the fact that there was no
oboe player in the union capable Of playing
the music required of him. The union in
sisted upon enforcing their union rules. The
oboe player in question was perfectly will
ing to Join the union, but was prevented
from doing SO by bylaw of the organiza-
ton which made it necessary for him to be
six months in the country before he could
obtain admission to the order In this
emergency Mr.. Thomas applied for and OBJ
tanned an injunction restraining the union
from interfering with its members or pun
ishing them for playing in company with
performers who We're not union men, JUS
tice Potter has given his decision in favor of
Mr.. Thomas, the plaintiff, holding that the
by laws of the defendant forbidding men,
bers to play with non union men are in re-
straint of trade and against public policy
and void. He also issues a perpetual injunc.
tion fortidding these laws from. being put
into operation against the plaintiff.

States consul is elated. He has received
notice from the customs department that
the $500 fine exacted from schooner Pearl
Nelson in September last for landing men
in Arichat before reporting would be re-

entering of the wedge, and that he will be
able to show some mitigating clrcumstanc S
in every case, and thus get back all the
money paid in fines The Canadian minister
of customs has been here for the past few
days, and he and Consul-General Phelan
have been closeted together fer hours. The
minister, as result of this conference, has
given instructions that American schoon RS
can purchase supplies anywhere without
special permit, and that vessels seized for
violations of the customs act will be re
leased by order of the collector of Halifax
on payment of the fines imposed This
will obviate the necessity Of communication
with Ottawa, and place the consul in per-

LONDON, Oct. g.-Details have been re-
ceived Of the massacre OF native Christians
of Uganda, Africa, by the order of King
Mwanga. The massacre began in June, and
was directly due to the refusal of Christian
lad, acting as the kings page. to commit an
abominable crime Many Christians were
tortured. mutilated and speared, and thirty
two were burnt alive together. The ap-
peals of the missionaries for cessation of
the atrocities were unavailing. The fate of
these unfortunates did not serve to frighten
candidates for baptism, and within a week
after the massacre many natives were bap'
tised at their own desire. Leaflets and ex-
tracts from the Scriptures, prayers and
hymns in the Uganda language are freely
bought by the people, although their possos-
sion involves danger Of punishment The
diary of Bishop Hannt ngton, who was put
to death by the king, will soon be published
in London 1t is a thrilling and pathetic
narrative of his experiences in Uganda up

guests and the American committee, went
down to Bedloe's island on the steam yacht
Tillie. just OF the anchorage ground Of
the North Atlantic squadron Bartholdi and
several members of the American COM
mittee came ON the upper deck. The
sculptor looked at the big figure with and
without field glass. Then he bsgan talk
ing freely about his impressions, and as
sured every one that the statue had been
made to look even bitter than he had
hoped. Bartholdi talks slowly, but well.
The Titles steam launch was lowered
and Bartholdi, de Lesseps and several mem
bers of the American committee went on

Farmers Of harrington, N. H., Fight
for Their Homes.

DOVER DEPOT, N. H., Oct 25-The
most destructive forest fire that has visited
Strafford county for many years has been
raging at harrington, twelve miles from
here. 1t app ars that Saturday afternoon
some men were blasting rocks where new
road is being laid out near the Edward
Waterhouse property After one of the
blasts belt of woods close. by was found
to be on fire. The blaze licked its way SO
rapidly that before the men returned to
their work after the blast it was beyond
control. In less than fifteen minutes an
acre Of George O. Chesley's woods was in
flame. A high wind was blowing and the
dead leaves and underbrush, as dry as pow
der, were very easily ignited
This part of harrington is densely wooded
with heavy, valuable timber. The flames
kept spreading in all directions, and gen.
eral alarm was sent out among the farmers.
Hundreds gathered on the sc me. 1t looked
as il every piece of timber land for miles
would be ruined. Horses and oxen were
yoked to ploughs and trenches were dug.
This manner of fighting saved the flames
consuming many farmhouses particularly
that of George G. Young Four ploughs
were engaged in digging trench back of
Young's house for two hours before the
blaze came in that direction.
The Choate farmhouse and outhouses
were burned to the ground; also, two TIM

arose on desolate, black, smoky tract of

kept up by relays of men; and as the sun
went down, it was evident that, al
though the fire was still in progress,
it would soon exhaust for want of
material to feed upon. 1t is esti-

PARTISANS SUSPENDED.
THE PRESIDENT DEALS WITH TWO
OFFENSIVE OFFICIALS.


Attorney Incur Displeasure by Active
Campaign Work, aud are to he Given
a Chance to Explain
WASHINGTON Oct. 27.-The president has
suspended two United States district at
torneys for alleged violation of the recent
order to federal otiiceholders in reference
to taking part in politics The suspended
officials are M E. Benton of the western
district of Missouri, and w. E. Stone. of
the western district of Pennsylvania. The
form,r is Democrat, the latter Rspubli-
can. 1t seems that quite numb + of
anonymous communications have been re-
ceived both at the White House and at the
department of justice, inclosing copies of
advertisements and extracts from speeches,
showing that Benton and Stone have been
making political sp .eches for the past month
or more. 1t is said that Col. Lamont called
the attention of the pr, sident to the cases,
and that an opportunity was given each Of
the district attorneys to keep within the
limit of the order, and it is possible that
official hints were sent out from Wash
ington: but th.y went ahead
and seemingly paid no attention
to what was told them concerning the dis
plcdSuie vi Uue pTesIlleHU over uHe COURSE
they were pursuing. One strange thing is
that in Missouri Republicans were demand
ing that Benton should be called to account,
and in Pennsylvania the Democratic com
plants insisted that Stones head should
come off as the penalty for what was con-
slider d violation of the civil service or
der. After a conference between the presi-
d mt and the attorney general it was de-
cided that both men should be suspended.
They have not been removed as yet. but
merely Suspend d. and will be given
chance to explain what is regarded by the
president as a violation of the order to
federal oficeholders While complaints
almost innumerable have been received here
from cranks and soreheads, these are the
first instances in which the president has
deemed it n.cessary to call the offender to
&C count at the White House. The informa-
tion is given that both of the suspended Of
ficials have been making SO many speeches
that the president is of the opinion that
they have necessarily been neglecting
their Official duties
