HEARING FROM AFFAIR.

On the line of the Atlantic and Pacific
Railway there is region so admirably con-
trived by nature to carry sound that the
roar of train of cars can be heard seventy
eight miles. 1.-THE discharge of the sunrise
gun at Fort Mohave can be plainly heard at
Colorado canon, distance of 100 miles.
Sounds can be understood in the narrows of
the Grand Canon of the Colorado for dis
lance of eighteen miles, or in other words,
if man in one end shouts Boo the man at
the other end can plainly hear the echo"
Once in a while nature makes a temporary
arrangement OF the clouds with much the
same effect as this permanent arrangement
of rocks and canons on the Atlantic and Pa
cifc Road. About thirty years ago, when
it was thought by the opponents of the Kan
sas "Lecompton Constitution" that it had
been killed in Congress they got
out the cannon here to jubilate with
adequate vigor and uproar. That night
the late John L. Ketcham, of this city, was
visiting his relatives in Monroe County, near
Bloomington, and heard every shot of that
gun so distinctly that he counted them and
reported to the papers here when he came
home. On the way he tound tnat the nrlng
had been heard all along the road. The
sound had been carried by such an arrange
ment of the clouds in relation to the earth
as to form a SORT of pair of parallel walls,
like a huge speaking trumpet, between
which the echo was reflected back and forth
with comparatively little loss of force.
Everybody has noticed occasionally that
they could hear bell or a steam whistle
further or move distinctly at one time than
another. Sometimes this is due to the con-
dition of the atmosphere ami sometimes to
the echoing power OF the clouds and the
earth. So, at least, say some of our sayants.
The mysteries of sound have been, to make
a poor joke, but to state fact, pretty well
sounded so that bottom has been reached
in most deep places.

IT is likely, at least we hope it is that the
educational bill passed by the Senate will
fail in the House. The best place for ed
ucation to begin is the family, the ward or
district, city and State, and there is no place
in America where education is not possible
by the people themselves, for themselves. 1t
is a useless waste of money, and job that
contains the germs of a thousand smaller
jobs, to prefer an educational bill as a means
of spending public money where it will fail
of its purpose. 1t may be that Capitalization
and imperialism is our manifest destiny, but
we are opposed to jumping into it just at
present We have use for our money in
making navy. for heavy guns, and for in
ternal improvements, and in enhancing our
industries by setting idle population at
work and putting money in motion, in a
hundred ways more to the public benefit
than with scheme for National education,
where perhaps 10 per cent. might be applied
for that purpose, and the balance stolen.

A FEMALE FORGER.
". Banks Swindied by the Treasures of
Church Board of Missions.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 2i.-No local event OF
years has caused such sensation as the forseries
charged to Miss Parisoills Mcclure. involving
loss to two banks of $500. The missing young
woman has an extensive relationship in this COM
munity, and numbered her friends by the hun

her in the good cause. Her relatives and asSo-

her family claim to have heard nothing OF her
whereabouts.
Kiss Mcclure was very reserved when at home.
She dressed neatly. but not extravagantly; she
was very seldom in gentleman's company aud
seemed to find her enjoyment in church WORK.
She was regular in her attendance at all religious
meetings OF the Presbyterian Church with which
she was connected. As Treasurer of the Board of
Missions of the church she was very active. ana
her accounts were always straight as die Tho

THERE are two extremes opposing the land
purchase bill of Mr.. Gladstone. One is
from those very nervous people who fear
change of any sort, and hold that the way to
rule Ireland is at the mouth of cannon, and
the other from section of tenants who re-
gard the means OF purchase too severe. One
is not at loss to understand the first, while
the second is a matter of the future entirely,
depending upon the productive capacity of
the lands relative to the prices of agricul-
tural products. 1t will follow, as certainly
as the land by any means becomes national
lied. that protective tariff will be adopted,
for so long as land bears a specific value,
measured by the cost expressed in bonds
based upon its value to-day, its products will
be maintained on par with the bonds as
upon this will depend the payment of the
debt. II this did not tend to aggravate the
growth of the protection sentiment, by crys'
talizing the value of land in its product the
tendency is growing through the hopeless
ness OF competition with America and India.

cline, hex population will grow less dense

NO IRONS GUSH.

The Knights of Labor of Ohio have de-
clared a boycott of the Champion Machine
Works because the owners discharged all
their hands that belonged to the Order, alleg-
ing that and nothing else, as the reason.
Against this unjust discrimination the Presi
dent, Mr.. N. X. Hyseli, and the Secre-
tary, w. Il. Eckerby. protest in good
English and judicious rhetoric
greatly superior to the gush and slush OF the
Irons manifesto. Here is the pith of the
paper: 1--WE believe the discharge of these
men, for the reason stated is contrary to the
letter and spirit of American institutions,
and direct insult to the intelligence of the
people. 1t was a government by arbitrary
power that led to the separation of this from
the mother country. The largest personal
liberty consistent with good government has
been the motto of the American pes
pie since the foundation of the
Government. We regard this action
of the Champion Company as violation of
the rights and privileges OF American citi-
zens." So do we. Amy discrimination against
a workingman that does not concern his
character or competency is unjust, and a vic.
lation of his rights, morally if not legally.
And the discrimination is equally unjust if
1T forces a man to leave work for a like res-
son. An employer is just as free, too, as
workman, in his choice of modes Of action.
He does wrong to dismiss man for belong
ing to the Knights of Labor, or any other
lawful organization, and they do exactly
the same wrong when they force
man on an employer who doesn't
want him, or force one away from him who
wants to stay. There is mutually in these
rights snd relations that the Ohio gentlemen
seem TO have forgotten. The Knights have
no more right to insist that an employer
shall take back all the men they please, with
out regard to his own wishes, than he has to
turn them all off without regard to their
wishes or needs. Yet that wrong the Order
is doing in a good many places, In the teeth
of their own doctrines and public appeals.
