WHERE CHARITY Uncle Stead"
is what they called shrewd old gentleman
who used to live in Winthrop, little way
out of the village, up the side of the pond,
near Readfield. One of his fellow citizens
was man named Lovejoy. Uncle Stead
met Lovejoy in the village one day, and he
said to him: " Lovejoy, there's poor WON
an lives out on the edge of town that needs
some provisions. Pm willing to supply
her, but I've sold my horse, and have no
means of getting the stuff to her. Now.
I'll buy her a barrel of flour and ham
and some other supplies if you'll carry
them out to her with your team" Lovejoy
said certainly, he'd be very glad to do it.
Accordingly, Uncle Stead bought barrel
of flour, ham, bucket of sugar, etc.
and, telling Lovejoy where the woman
lived, sent him of on the GRAND of charity
with the good things in his pung Love
joy easily found the house where the WON
an lived. He unloaded the goods, putting
like grampus as he rolled the barrel OF
flour in, and said to the woman: Mr..
Steadman sent you the provisions. He's a
mighty kindhearted man TO send you all
these things" We'll, l don't know why
he shouldn't send them to me.' exclaimed
the woman in surprised accents. He's

LAW MUST PREVAIL.

The st. Louis strikers have struck snag.
Whenever strikers have a just cause and
confine themselves within the limits of law
they have public sympathy to support them.
But whenever they array themselves in OPP
position TO the authority of law they diveSt
themselves of sympathy and must go to the
wall. The constituted authorities of the
city of st. Louis and of the state of Mis-
souri, have spoken and say that railway
traffic shall not be interrupted, and that
should settle it. There is no law
to compel man to work. but
there is law to project man when he is
at work. The members of labor organiza-
ton have a right to quit work at any time
they see proper. They have right to APP
peal to their fellow workmen to follow
their example. The law permits them TO
use any argument that can be brought to
bear in favor of their position. While the
law protects them in these rights it also
protects other classes in their rights. And
the majesty Of the law is superior to all
other considerations.
1t makes no difference what amount Of
justice is on the side of the strikers it is all
lOSb SlSllb Ul thOg lNoOAe w NAoANhNNs
Vice President HoXIE's position may be
ever so wrong, yet it is made to seem right
in comparison with mob law. JAY GoULD's
declarations may be ever so unwise and I'M
reasonable, yet they sound as gospel when
compared with a reign of anarchy. If
the Knights of Labor expect TO retain the
respect and sympathy of the American peo-
pie they must submit to the legally consti-
tuted authorities. 1t will not do to justify
violence by saying that Gov. MARMADUKE is
a willing tool in the hands of the corpora
tons. For aught we know it may be
lamentable fact that he is. Yet he is the
governor Of Missouri, and as such is entitled
to the respect due to the dignity of the
Office of chief executive. No matter what
his personal feelings or sympathies in the
matter may be, he represents the power
and dignity Of the commonwealth and must
be obeyed. In the interest of commerce
and of the general welfare he has directed
that the railroads resume freight business.
The railroad companies are compelled to
obey the order, and all law-abiding citizens
are compelled to aid In its enforcement.

NohodE Identified.

WINoNA. Miss, March 25.-The regular
term of the circuit court convened here on
Monday with Judge Campbell and District
Attorney Brantley present To-day was
made special day for the investigation OF
the riot of the 18th inst. at CarrolltOn. and
$50 witnesses were summoned on the mat
ter. But from the short stay each
made in the grand jury room, it
seemed probable that no information
was obtained and the opinion expressed
that after a thorough and searching investi-
CATION. no clue to the armed force Of week
ago can be found. The judge gave the
grand jury a very emphatic charge to look
into this matter. and District Attorney
Brantley Is said to be seeking information
from every source, but the hurry and excite
ment Of that day were such rs to preclude
all Identification.

AN oFF AND ON RACE.

The chairman of the Minneapolis Repub-
lican committee denies the statement that
Mayor PILLsBURY has declined to run and
affirms that the mayor is going to make the
race. even if he is little short winded. 1t
is characteristic of the amiably-disposed old
gentleman who has for two years served as
a figurehead for the Minneapolis city gov
eminent to be on one day and off the next
Yesterday was Mayor PILLsBURy's day to
run. This is his day to take a
rest, and as Mr.. PfLLsBURY's rest
days are his best he will probably stay
off. Such a course will not suit the blood
suckers who are fond of the PILLsBuRY
ducats, but it will add greatly to the COM
fort of Mr.. PILLsBURY's life and save him
from a most humiliating defeat at the polls
if he will only adhere to his original resolu-
ton of not being candidate, besides It
will be cash in his pocket, and good deal
of it. This is not a good year to buy an
election-the ballot market is up and voters
come high. And then it is Democratic
year, anyway, when an honest ballot and a
fair count is going to prevail.

vICToRIA's FRIGHT.

There was something very absurd In the
superserviceable way i'm which the poor old
soldier who had the temerity to cast petit
ton into VIcTomA's carriage was hustled
away TO Jail and force of detectives imme.
diately detailed to look up his record. The
fright which his approach TO the carriage
gave the queen is an evidence that she
shares in common with her brother mon
archs the feeling of insecurity and trepida-
ton which accompanies the wearing
of crown. But at this partic-
ular time there is every reason
why Queen VIcToRIA should regard
with suspicion approaching fright any unu-
sual demonstration towards or against her.
1t Is time when great distress is prevail
ing in England, and, though the English
people may recognize the fact that the
queen is powerless, except individually, to
aud them. they are also intelligent enough
to recognize that she forms the central and
most expensive portion of civil list, the
taxes for whose maintenance add very ma
terially to their burdens. 1t Is time when
men, crazed by their troubles and rendered
desperate by pitiable restitution, are actu-
ated no longer by reason. but are moved by
impulse. Nothing would be more probable
than, forgetful of either law or consequent
ces, some half-mad fellow should seek. IN a
personal attack upon the queen, revenge
for his bitter wrongs. That VICTORIA and
those about her recognize this to be more
than possibility is evinced by the alarm
shown over the cranky veterans startling
but harmless method of gaining hearing.

or three in five, for $3.50 to $500 side, to
take place in Milwaukee, Chicago. st. Paul

Col. Mclaughlin was seen at the Ryan last
night and said ii was the first that he had
heard or the challenge, and remarked that
probably every wrestler in the country, after
hearing that he was about to quit the car
pet, would challenge him to work up their
reputation. He said 1t would be
utterly impossible for him TO meet Lewis, as
he had entered into contract with the Chi
eago, Burlington Northern real that his
match with Dufur would be his last. If it
were so that he could meet Lewis, he claimed
that he wouldn't wrestle him as he proposed,
but would ask for one collar-and-elbOw, one
catch-as- catch-can and would toss for the
other. He said he considered Lewis the best
wrestler in the world his style, unless it was
Joe Acton. Dufur. he claimed, is q hard
man to meet. He has met him several times,
and twice Dufur beat him. 1t is not decided
yet where the match between Dufur and Nc
Laughlin will come OFF, but it will probably

CAPT. CRAwFoRD's MURDER.

Others beside those directly concerned in
army matters will be interested in the more
detailed report filed by Lieut.. MAUs re-
garding the skirmish with a company OF
MeXicans on the Arizona Mexican frontier.
and the killing of Capt. CRAWFORD. The
lieutenant closes his report with the concise
and emphatic statement capt. CRAw-
FORD was assassinated." The evidence
which he adduces in support of that state
ment seems to prove the truth of his assertion
conclusively. There remains little or no
doubt that the killing was the result of
deliberate intention on the part of the Mex
leans, who were In superior force, to attack
the Americans, of whom they were jealous.
and at whom they were enraged Tor fancied
injuries. Leading, as the Mexican troops
stationed on the frontier do. half bandit
existence. they were less alive to the conse-
Uuences of a crime which. within their
own lawless borders, they had probably
committed many times with impunity.
But it is idle to comment upon
the reasons which induced them to
make the attack. 1t is sufficient
that with malice and generalization they did
open fire upon the Americans with most
disastrous results. 1t remains with the
government to demand and compel from the
Mexican authorities the fullest satisfaction
which they can give, including the summary
punishment of the officers in command of
the attacking detachment The Mexicans
maintain that their action was the result of
n mistake. A wild and lawless border gives
too good an opportunity for such mistakes"
to occur. They should be discouraged in
way that will not be mistaken.

the major portion of his life in

THE PILLsBJTRY LETTER.

withhold further criticism under the impress
sion that Mr.. PILLsBURY has again de-
clined to be candidate. A candidate with
a record of two years ought to be willing to
