MIR. Cleveland's Democracy, honest,
straightforward, faithful to Democratic prin-
ciples, is the kind the people trust and want.
Not merely the Democratic rank and file, but
masses of Republicans are on HE side. The
bitterness with which the Blaine organs
persecute him is the best proof of his strength
with the people. II the Democratic party
should cast him aside, should revolt against
his policy and administration OF affairs. that
would be precisely what the Republicans

The Folly of the Chicago Strike,

1t seems that some of the strikers at
Chicago are not entirely willing to return
to work, In accordance with Mr.. Pow
derly's order, on the terms offered them.
1t is probable, however, that it is to their
interest to accept what is offered them.
In view Of the fact that the Chicago pack
ers pay their employees better wages than
the packers of any other city pay, it is
rather remarkable that a strike should
have occurred in the Chicago stockyards.
The strikers must have been badly ad-
guilty of the folly OF adopting a course
that cost them $4,000 a day and will de.
prive at least fourth OF them Of occupa.
tion during the entire winter.
comparison OF the wages paid In the
Chicago packing houses with the wages
paid the packers Of other cities shows
that Chicago wages is 20 per cent. higher
for ten hours work than wages in Kansas
City and Milwaukee, and 80 per cent.
higher than in Boston. Notwithstanding
this condition Of affairs the Chicago
strikers demanded the eIght-bour system
with no decrease Of wages. Their leaders
ought TO have been asked how Chicago
packers could compete with the packers
Of other cities II the demand for the eight.
hour system were complied with. Some
how OF other, In all the great strikes, the
strikers manage TO get into a position
which IL 80 untenable as TO deprive tbcm
OF the sympathy or the public. This Is
owing, doubtless, 10 tho fact that their
local leaders lack Judgment, or else have
some other purpose In view tOan the good
OF their labor organization.

Stock Gambling ILLEGAL.

There is very little sympathy among
the most eminent of the jursts OF the
country with stock gambling When
ever they get chance they hit that sort
of gambling a hard blow. Not long ago
Judge Allison, of Pennsylvania, decided
that debts incurred in stock gambling
operations cannot be collected in that
State, and few days ago Chancellor
Runyon, OF New Jersey, gave a decision
against stock gam bling still more sweep.
Ing in its scope. The facts in the case in
which the decision WAS rendered are
these: A man gave broker some valu-
able bonds and mortgages as margins in
speculation in stocks. The specula-
tiOn resulted unprottably, and the securi-
ties were claimed by the broker as his
property. The man died suddenly aud
the widow sued the broker for recon-
veyance OF the bonds and mortgages to
her. The New Jersey Chancery Court
sustained hcrplea, aud ordered the broker
to recouvey the securitie to her.
If these Pennsylvania and New Jersey
decisions come TO be accepted as the
law OF the land, brokers will ind their
business to be rather a risky one. Men
VINO speculate through them and lose Will
not hesitate. In not a few Instances, to
demand return OF their money. Proba-
bly, there would be no great amount Of
regret II the stock gambling business
should cease TO offer inducements 70 any
one 70 engage In it.

Wholesale Poisoning.

On Tuesday afternoon about eighty in
mates of the almshouse at Lebanon, Penn
sylvania, were seized with vomiting and
severe pain. DR.. VIEWS, the attending
physician: pronounced it a case of whole
sale poisoning. Measures were immedl-
ately taken to counteract the poison.
Most of the victims suffered severely
from nausea, and twelve of them ale still
in critical condition. An investigation
revealed the fact that all who drank the
coffee prepared for noon were sick and
the coffeepot was found to be lined with
a thick sediment of Paris green. The
vessel holds barrel or more, and into
this some person had thrown almost four
pounds of poison. The doctor is of the
opinion that had it not been for the fact
that the poison was too strong, causing
vomiting, more than half of the inmates
would now be dead.

An Expensive Funeral.

It is estimated that the funeral of Sena
tor Miller will cost the government $40, 900.
A special train has been employed to take
his remains, his wife and daughters and a
committee of one senator and five congress
cars for ten persons, and the government
foots the bill. No member of the senate
except Jones of Nevada could be induced
to make the trip to California, which will
require at least three weeks; but it said
that nearly half the members of the house
sought the honor of accompanying the
funeral party.

A Daring Express Robbery

One Of the most daring and bloody ex-
press robberies ever perpetrated in Illinois
occurred Friday night of last week on the
Chicago, Rock Island g. Pacific road be-
tween Joliet and Morris. The robbers
raped on the express car door and in
formed the messenger, kellogg Nichols, that
the baggageman wanted to get in at the
rear door of the express car. The door
was opened and the oesperadoes entered.
Being confronted by the murderous vii
lians, the messenger fought for his life
and the property i'll his trust. The interior
of the express car shows that he fought
the robbers from one end to the other,
but at last the blows they rained on his
head with an iron poker forced him to
succumb, and he was left dead in the car.
The thieves rihed his pockets for the keys
to the safe which they robbed of all It's
contents. variously estimated at from $2O.
900 to $4,000.

Important Land Decisions.

Washington dispatch, 10Th: The secre-
tary of the interior has rendered Il decision
in the ex parte case of James Brlttin, re-
versing the decision of the commissioner
of the general land office of November -,
1885, which held that as under section
2261. revised statutes, Il person WAS enti-
tied to but one presumption right he could
not after perfecting one pre- e-emption right
be permitted to commute Il homestead en-
try to cash entry under section 23O1. re
vised statutes. The secretary says that he
concurs in the construction Of the statute
as construed by his predecessors, to the
effect that the law was intended to secure
to those who had heretofore availed them
selves of the pre-emptor's right, the benc-
fit of the homestead law i'll addition
thereto In respect to the interests in
volved, the decision is regarded by land
office officials as extremely important.
In the case of Taaet VS. the heirs of
Walter A. Mann, from Watertown land
district, Dakota, the secretary of the in
terror has decided that the widow of a de-
ceased homestead entry man, who had
complied with the requirements of the
law up to the date Of his death, is not re-
uuircd to reside on the land, but may by
continued cultivation thereof for the re-
mainder of the period, complete the claim
and receive a patent for it.
