YOUTHFUL INCENDIARIES.
A Father Brings His Son to the Bar
of Justice

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-During the past
two months repeated attempts have been
made to burn the national stock yards in
East st. Louis, and two of the fires started
by the incend aries caused considerable
damage to pens and sheds, but were OK
tinguished before the fire had communi-
Gated to any OF the large packing houses.
The perpetrators remained unknown until
last Tuesday night, when John Colly, a
watchman, discovered several boys
attempting to set the house on
fire. The incendiaries fed, but he
pursued and caught one OF them, who
proved TO be his son John, ID years of age.
Yesterday the father took his boy to Presi-
dent Knox and made him confess. The
boy acknowledged that he and two others
named John Reed and Alfred Hopkins
had kindled the fires Of June and Aug.
2 and 6, which resulted in loss OF $50. 600.
The boys say they made their attempts to
burn down the yards because they were
refused work.

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1886-11-09

Our spasmodic cotemporary, the
New York Star, organ of the free
traders, gets off the following curious
paragraph:
1.-THE defeat of Mr.. Morrison is the
greatest victory that our cause has
won. 1t is the Bunker Hill of the
new war of independence. A defeat,
indtedl Our troops have retreated,
and our leader lies upon the field
But the blow has been struck which
begins the battle all along the line.
Let no one be discouraged The
blood of the martyrs is the seed of
the church."
Commenting on the above the Bal
timore Herald is reminded that Nor
rison's great victory" was akin to
that of John Pheuix, who inserted
his nose between his antagonists
teeth and thus held him firmly.

Tar undisputed ability 81 some
men to make fools 81 themselves,
trutbfully remarks The Frederick Nescs,
is peculiarly we'll illustrated By the
individuals who are popping up here
and there all over the country, With
the expression on their lips that they
did not vote democratic because they
wanted to rebuke the President. We
do not care what party may be in
power, in fact the influence of part J
goes q very little way with us, but
the man who refuses to vote the
ticket which bis political proclivities
would make it proper for him to vote
and simply because the National
Administration has not exactly pleas
ed bis individual tasted is ia every
sense q traitor, not alone to bis party,
but to bis manhood and bis franchise.
A mans refusal to vote the ticket of
bis own or any other party is mere
exercise of the opinion which is. his
and every mans right, but beyond
the mere individual law of it We see
nothing in keeping with propriety or
even so much as common sense. We
should think the administration rather
better off with such men as it's ene-
mics. Their Influence il narrow and
their opinions very cheap.

Our much esteemed contemporary,
tie Baltimore Herald is moved to re-
mark that "candor compels as to say
that Mr.. Cleveland's speech at the
Harvard celebration was neither q
clever performance nor one that
commends itself as having been In
spiled by good taste" Continuing.
the Herald says: at was quite un-
necessary and out of place FOR the
President to concentrate so much at
tention either upon his personal or
official self. as the occasion of great
college celebration did not call for it.
His reference to the silly, mean and
cowardly lies that are found in the
columns of certain newspapers and
to the 'ghoulish glee' with which
these papers "desecrate every sacred
relation of private life,' must be held
to have been in wretched taste and
unworthy of utterance by the head
Of great Republic in such an in
stance"
We quite agree with our inde-
pendent morning contemporary.
