THIEF"

THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT WHO IL THE
THIEF"
About three hours later, Mr.. Greengraves
crJssed the threshold of the great pvern-
ment Office in Whitehall, of which Sir Rich
ard FOrdyce was the head. Before the door
was string of carriages and cabs. To and
fro, from the hall to the street, a stream of
persons passed; those coming away, for the
most part with a subdued and half-stunned
look upon them dazed as it were, as people
might look who had stared Open-mOuthed
at the sun.
As Mr. Greengraves came upon the scene,
short thiGkly-buiIt man, swarthy skinned,
with eyes that looked as black as sloes
against their blood-shot whites, with ink
black crispy hair, square jaws, and general
ly heavy sullen face was listening in what
seemed like molten fury only half-sup-
pressed, to the bland utterances of the sleek
hall-door keeper.
''Pye told you before, my good fellow, it's
no manner of use. Sir Richard is much too
busy to see anyone to-day he hasn't made
an appointment with"
Uttering some low cultural sounds that the
detective fancled must have been either
Italian or Spanish, the dark-eyed man
swung himself from the steps, glOwering
evilly and grinding his teeth, whilst Mr..
Greengrayes, with the oily and persuasive
way which he so well knew how to assume
when the occasion called for it, passed his
card with smOthered whisper.
The porter at first sight of the pastebOard
shook his head, then stared hard at Mr..
Greengraves, then relaxed gently by degrees,
and made half a promise:
"Fraid you'll have to wait long time
though, sir"
Mr.. Greengrayes, with the expression Of
martyr Of long and bitter experiences, ex-
pressed his willingness to do so.
Still the stream of persons DESTROYS of in
gress or egress poured in and out of the
towering building, up and down the broad
stone steps, past the marble columns: some
radiant, some anxious, some scowling black
ly--the most part, If not all, whispering
eagerly, consulting, and comparing notes.
Presently, Mr. Greengraves's card having
passed up to the presence, message came
down that he might follow it. This he did

Greengrayes b.mt over him, and saw blood

A BRIDGE AT MEMPHIS.

Congressman lack Taylor has intro
duced a bill authorizing the construc-
ton of a railway bridge across the
Mississippi rivor at Memphis by the
Kansas City & Memphis railroad and
the Bridge Company. 1t is understood
that the company propose, if the bill is
passed this session, to begin preliminary
work this summer and push the bridge
to completion as soon as possible. The
bridge is to be sixty feet above the ex-
tsseme high water mark, with two main
spans five hundred end fifty feet long;
is to be open to use by all railway coni-
panies on payment of proper rates
therefor, and may be also toll bridge
for foot passengers and teams if the
company desire. 1t is estimated that
the work of building this bridge will be
a very difficult one, and in value the
expenditure of many millions OF dollars.
If such bridge is ever completed,
Memphis will straightway become the
great Southern metropolis, and take the
front rank that its superior geographical
position has always entitled it to, but out
of which adverse fortune and untoward
circumstances have heretofore defraud-

RACE MORTALITY.

The State Board of Health. Bulletin
for the past month shows that the rate
per thousand of deaths among the
whites in Chattanooga was 19. 20, colored
$500: Knoxville, white 8.25, colored
5000; Memphis, white 1851, colored
1929; Nashville, white, 9.67, colored
N.75. These figures reveal several in
teresting facts. One is the relative
healthfulness of the cities named, but
more important, the relative mortality
of the races. The number of deaths
among the colored people was twice as
great in Memphis and Chattanooga as
among the whites, three times as great
in Nashville, and nearly four times as
great in Knoxville. These figures are
only repetition Of the mortuary sta
tistics that have been gathered over the
entire South since the war, and doubt.

the census returns which made it ap

THE Americans arguments against
the Blair bill have about simmered
down to this: The Secretary of State is
to decide whether or not the money is
properly appropriated by the States,
and that amounts to Federal control.
Such reasoning don't need to be com
bated; it is not strong enough to stand
alone, and falls from its own weakness.

Instead of complying with the request, the com mittee concluded to bring sheol to Lusk: The federated trades union, nineteen tw9ntieths of whom are members of the anti-Chinese leagues, boycotted his trade in California; and according to tic San Francisco Chron- icle, a car load of canned fruit shipped by him to Denver, was returned with the statement, that Chinese prepared goods could mt be sold at a profit in that city.

WE DON'T WANT GLASSES.

The Commercial Bulletin of New York objec to the bill just passed by the Legislature of that State, creating a holiday to be known as "Laborers' Day" The ground of the objection is that it has tendency 60 contribute to the formation of distinct classes in the country. The objection is a good one. too. It has become altogether too common to refer to the "Working- men," the "Wage Winners" the "haboring Glass" as if they were d lower order in American society.
 They are not lower order, nor arc they q class. They are the American people. They constitute by far the larger proportion Of tEe citizens of the country. If there is a class it is formed by the would-be aristocrats.
 Anything tending to build up class distinctions strikes directly at our form of government, which says that all men are born equal. For this reason it is unfortunate that the New York Legislature selected such name for the new holiday. There are many anniversaries of great historical events which might have furnished a name if one were desired. It is use less to call t Loborers' Day. Fourtl, of July, Christmas or Thanksgiving is as much d holiday for the "work- ingmen. ."-S F. Report.

The laborers we import have no families to care foG. They have no social po- sition to maintain. They come solely for the higher wages labor commands ip.this country. To place these pa gan laborers side by side with Ameri- can fathers of families Is sin against civilization. It is a blow at tbe req sonable and honorable aspirations of American wage-workers.

It Is almost as amusing to see the "same old lie" published about c. NJ. Zuhck being a resident of this Terri tory, when appointed Governor, as it IS to see "Judge" Zulick seated on a sham judicial bench. When the name of c. Myer Zulick, of Arizona was first mentioned as candidate for governor, the press of Tombstone where he claimed residence, was the first to raise the inquiry, asking who he was. The. fact is, as every one knows, that ten or eleven months prior to his appointment, he was 8 candidate for office, and was defeated Tn New Jersey. Now while the people of Arizona are compelled to submit to the appointment of non residents to fill official positions, the citizens of New Jersey have never yet been known to draw on the residents of Arizona to hold office for them. The only residence acquired by the Colon, el previous to his appointment was such as might be acquired by any man passing through the territory.
