The Situation az 80. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April T. Reports
have been in circulation here to-day
and tonight that Chief Engineer
Arthur has been in consultation with
engineers both in this city and in
East st. Louis, that the engineers on
both sides OF the river are dissatisfied
with the situation, and that they de-
sire to go out with the Knights Of
Labor, but up to a late hour tonight
none of these, nor a half dozen other
rumors, have been verified. 1t is not
even definitely known that MI.
Arthur has been in the city to-day.
nor can it be learned that the
engineers have held any meeting
to discuss their relations to the strikes.
II may be stated with reasonable safe
ty that they have taken no secret ac-
ton, and that their position is now
the same as it has been throughout
the trouble. A report gained circula-
ton tonight that Mr.. Arthur has been
in secret conference with some high
railroad officials, and that he has left
town, but can be traced to no reliable
source, and little credence is given
to it.
The report of this morning that
twenty of the locomotive firemen of
the Bridge and Tunnel Company had
struck, is now denied, and the fact
that bridge traffic was not interrupted
to-day gives a strong color OF fact to
the denial. The statement to-day that
the mob in East st. Louis was first
checked by the display of Winchester
rifles in the hands of deputy sheriffs
in the Chicago and Alton yards, seems
TO have been a mistake. The scene
occurred in the yards OF the Louisville
and Nashville road,

JUDICIAL POSITIONS.
A COUNTRYMAN WHO ENDORSES
THE BAR MOVEMENT.
He Gives Good Reasons Why the
Lawyers should make their
SeIecIiOls.

A well.known farmer from the
Twelfth Civil District was cornertd
by an APPEAL man yesterday, who
wanted to know low the / lea Of hay
ing the bar recommend suitable men
to fill county judicial. positions truck
him. He SAID he was very much
pleased with the suggestion, and was
inclined TO leave it 10 the lawyers alto
gether. "rhey have to deal with the
judges and clerks" he continued, "aud
/ think they ought to be permitted to
select them, subject 10 the approval
of the people,"
Would you reilly leave the selac-
tion Of clei ks slSo to the lawyers 2"
ayes; because they would knocr
this pa ionslity idta ia the head. II
there is any one thing more obitc ion
able than another to us people in the
country il is this selection of Irishmen
and Germans for clerl ships because
they are such, and i think it ought to
be made rule with men OF both par
ties 10 defeat any man who aspireI to
any office because he is a German or
an Irishmau 1t has always had a
most demorslizing effect upon the
Democratic party, aud makes can
vases more and more difficult every
year. Idon't wish to bs understood as
beng oppose ] to Germans or Irisbmen
as candidates for office. 1t would not
trouble me if all the candidates were
Irisbmen or Germans. l believe that
if the lawyers will hold a meeting and
suggest the right kind of candidates
that they will stand a very fair chance
of being Endorsed by the Democratic
patty and elected. We want especially
a man upon the Criminal Court
bench who, like HJrTigan or Greer,
will eDforcs the law against carrying
concealed weapons, and that equally
important law which makes gambling
q felony. We want an Attorney Gen
eral who will be an imp'acable foe oil
ell the Grimm Il classes, aud who him
self will be an example OF personal
probity, god mors's and good man.
ners. Inc Circuit, Chsncery aud
P. obate judges should be tbs very
best men that can be had for
those PAGES. 81 far ss | know, and ]
think 1 know Shelby county pretty
well, the country will heartily second
the effort that the APPEAL is making
to get the hest men to fill the offices
next Angus, and if the lawyers make
good selections the people will indorsC
them by voting for them. You car
put the country down az backing the
lawyers up in their choice for judge

NISTER WHEAT.
Condition of the Growing Crop mp
TO april 5th.

CHICAGO. ILL, April 7.-Tbe f,llow-
ing is the Farmers Review summary of
the wheat crop up to April 9th:
Growing winter wheat enters the sec
ond Of the fpripg months under con-
ditions scarcely if ever better. This
appears to be true from Q close study
of the reports CT all the winter wheat
States, with the exception of Kansas
snd Michigan. Toe former Site ap-
pears destined to have very nearly a
repetition Of the shot crop OF last
year. Oily two OF the counties
embodied in the latest report make
favorable returns, while the rema nder
indicate that nearly all he fields show
t1e eff ct OF tn winter killing. In
Ellis county the outlook is go poor
that already some feds have been
plowed up, and the only fields which
appear t. have efcaped ft0m the
bl ghting effects OF alternate tha~iDg
and freezing were those where the
Grain was Town among corn stalks.
In Michigan the outlook ia not en-
tirely favorable. Many Of the fields
are reported looking brown and dead,
and in many instances the crop has
been pronounced a fsi ure, while the
output promises to be corsid-
erably short of the "bumpsr"
crops Of the last two years.
There is still promise OF a tair
average yield in that State. Reports
from the remaining wiDt-r wheat
states are almost uniformly good.
Fields in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Missouri present a very favorable APP
pearance. The plant is healthy, and
with plenty o! moisture there remains
nothing at present to threaten the
pr IN.

A FEARFUL CRIME.
A Drunken Brute Murders Mic
wife and Child.

ST. FRANCIS, ARK, April This
town was the scene last Sunday OF a
most horrible crime, and It will only
be owing to extra diligence on the
part OF the officers if it is not followed
by summary punishment. For some
time there has lived in the commune
ty a labofing man named William
Ellis, with his wife and two. year-old
child. They came from Southern Il
liDois, but beyond this not much is
known Of their ~antecedents. Ellis
was a drinking man, and when under
the influence Of liquor was known to
be abusive On Sunday he was in an
unusually vicious mood, and kept up
all day his inhuman treatment Of the
woman. Late in the afternoon che
sought relief in fl ght, and start
ed for q magistIale's office to
procure a warrant for his arrest.
He followed, aud when near the office
to which she had started fred at her
with a Winchester rife, the ball first
striking her on the wrist then pass
ing entirely throu h the body Of her
child, which she had in her arms,
then penetrating the body of the
mother, ir fiicting a mortal wound.
The child died in a short time. A
coroner's inquest was held and re-
suited in a verdict in acc, rdsnce with
the facts as stated above. The muir
deror was promptly arrested and hur-
ried off to Jail at Boydsville to save
him from lynchirg.

THE HALF UNCONSCIOUS AIM.

One OF the most precious conse-
quences growing out Of the present at
t.tude OF labor toward capital, not only
in our own but in other countries, is
that II has aroused attention toward
"the labor question:" and toward the
necessity Of more just and scientific
ways OF distributing the wealth that
labor creates than prevails at present.
II Is everywhere exciting investiga-
lion and drawing out the expression OF
the views entertained by men entitled
to Judge and alvise. Prof.. Ely, for in
stance, has brought out the moral
feature OF the claims OF labor with
striking force. He defines the labor
movement, "the ultimate significance
CT the mighty social forces which
are beginning TO shake the earth"
as "the effort OF men to live the life
Of men" as systematic effort to attain
to more leisure and larger economic
resources, TO a richer existence for
soul, mind and body. He says; "Half
conscious though II may be, the labor
movement is a force pushing on to-
ward the attainment Of the purpose Of
humanity; In other words, the end Of
the true growth OF mankind namely,
the full and harmonious development
In each individual Of all human facul-
ties-tha faculties Of working, per
teivipg, knowing, lOving-the devel-
opment, in shor', of Whatever oapa'
bilities Of good there may be in u.s."
In brief, the professor views it as
involving "the realization OF the ethi.
cal aim expressed in that command
which contains the fecret Of all true
progress, Thou ehalt love thy neigh
Dor as thyseli.'" It's true signifca nee,
adds this thoughtful and accomp-
plished scholar, lies in it's being ian
attempt to bring TO pass the idea Of
human development which has ami
mSted sSges, prophets and poets OF all
ayes; the idea that a time must come
when wa fare Of all kinds shall cease,
aud when a peaceful organization OF
roGiety shall 6ud a place within its
framework for the best growth OF
each personality, and shall abolish all
servltude, in which one but subs erves
another's gain" IL hes been asked
whether the cry OF labor for an amel-
ioration Of laws and customs that
usage from Efeudsl sges, and centuries
anterior to them, have entailed comes
within the limits OF the church to
conSlderH Taking the subject as Prof.
Ely 60 seriously lays 1t down, II ap
peArs to come especially under the
care Of an institution its divine
founder intended TO be a bulwark de-
Tending from oppression, and vindt
ealing the claims Of the poor upon the
rich, and the right OF the lowly
sgainst the naughty dictation of the
arrogant, To term such a mattel
merely secular" Is to contradic
priest, prophet and redeemer.
