The Downs Case,

BosToN, Dec. 21.-In the case of Rev. w.
W. Downs against Bowdoin Square Baptist
church for back salary Downs testified in his
own behalf as to his financial relations with
the church, the defence claiming that though
Downs undoubtedly received money that he
called his salary from some one, it was by no
means certain that the person who paid the
money represented the defendant. Downs
said he was paid money by the treasurer of
the Bowdoin Square Baptist Society. Ger
tain documents were produced to show that
Downs was regarded by the Society as its
pastor. The defence claims the records do
not show a contract and that on question
of law the decision should be given in their
favor The defence claims the right to
cross-eXamine Downs as to the alleged acts
of immortality with which he has been charg-
ed. 1t was agreed that the defence have
right to 60 into the whole scandal but the
judge deprecated this, and hoped the case
would be settled without it. Chaplin for the
defence argued on the legal aspect of the
case, claiming the defendants were corpora.

United States Detectives Hunt Down

CHICAGO, Dec 22.-For several months
Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Paul, Milwaukee,
and the smaller cities of the Northwest have
been flooded with spurious silver dollars, so
closely resembling the genuine article that
even experts were deceived. United States
Secret Service detectives have worked as
siduously to discover where the bogus dol
lars were made and were unsuccessful until
a short time ago when Detective Mckinley

United States Express Office in this city once
a week and shipped heavy box, roughly
but strongly built, to doctor in Milwaukee,
The negro was shadowed to a small farm
house on the land Of a German named
Hainz, sixteen miles southeast of Pullman.
The building is one-story cabin, which the
officers learned was leased for a wear. with

A Circular From PowderIy.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-An important secret
circular has been received by District As
semblies "A and %, Knights of Labor Of this
city, from Master Workman Powderly, con-
cerning the faetional quarrels which have
existed in the organization for sometime.
The circular touches on several matters,
but the most important are political ques-
tions and the action of the Knights in refer
ence to the condemned Anarchists when the
order is promulgated. 1t is claimed that the
Conservative element of the organization
will be pleased with Powderly's commands,
while they will greatly displease the Radical
element Powderly has ordered the master
workmen OF District Assemblies "a and %
not to allow any money to be collected for
the condemned Anarchists and instructs that
if any funds have been collected, such mon
eys be returned to the assemblies and the
persons who collected it. The grand mas
ter workman's action, it is con.ended, settles
the question Of the relation of the knights OF
Labor and Anarchists 1t also explains why
in joint meetings of these District Assem-
blles on last Sunday, the sympathy matter
was not brought up when the meeting was
for that purpose.

RICHMOND, KY, Dec 21.-A terrible fight
occurred Sunday night at the house of Mr.
Rice, farmer, near Red House, between
two sons of Rice and John Shearer, a mer-
chant at Red House, in which the latter was
shot dead. For some time an intimacy is
said to have existed between Mrs. Rice and
the victim, and a separation ensued. Mrs.
Rice had returned home and Mr.. Rice was
absent. Shearer had been warned by the
sons not to come on the place. Sunday night
about 8 O'Clock, Shearer entered the room
where the two sons were sleeping, and was
discovered by them. Shooting Immediately
began, and in few moments Shearer lay
dead on the floor, his pistol near him, with

Two Systems.

LHolyoke (Mass.) Work and Wagesl
One or the other of two rules win be
adopted by every employer in dealing with
his help. Either he win say; II will bug
labor at the lowest prices at which the men
who are nearest starvation will consent to
work." or he will say: 81 will pay my help
the highest wages wages that can afford"
Both Of these rules are perfectly consistent
with the law Of supply land demand, but in
their moral quality and their consequences
they are opposite as the poles. One leads to
irreconeilable antagonisms, the other affords
ground for arbitration profit Isharing, or any
cooperative expedient promising good re-
suits. The former rule, Systematically ap-
piled for lseries OF years through
out an entire community, means a progress
iyedegredation of labor, and ultimately the
righteous destruction of employers profits.
The latter rule means progressive elevation
and increasing prosperity. Under the form
er, the laborer becomes discouraged and his
standard of living Is lowered. The cOnse.
quence Of this Is impaired efficiency and a
diminished production of wealth. In a les.
sened demand for labor and further reduc.
tion Of wages the cycle of causation is com.
pleted. This is what took place in England
0uIlllb hiot ileti4 VI tllC pltotub century
under the Ricardian teaching that unmitiga
ted selishnessness was economic morality. II

valley of Ohio, in the mining re-
gions Of Pennsylyania-in a dozeI
other places in this land of Christian
| institutions and by the orders of men wht
are conspicuous members Of Christian

laborer Is encouraged and stimulated, hi
| standard of living is raised, he creates NOR
| wealth for conversion into capital
| and increasing capital, increasing the de
mand for labor, tends steadily to raise tn
| rate Of wages.
But let no reader or workman, or kindl,

| supposing that high wages or favorable laws
| or both together, are all that Is necessary

Matthew's AGAIN NomInated,

The nomination of Jas. c. Matthews to be
recorder of deeds for the District of Colum-
bla, which was one of those sent to the Sem
ate today, was referred to the committee of
the District of Columbia. 1t is said to have
been accompanied by message from the
President giving his reasons for sending in
the second time the name of man whose
nomination the Senate had once rejected. Ii
Is reported that the message, after reciting
the facts of the first nomination and rejec-
ton, states large number of persons in the
District had conceived a prejudice against
Matthews which fact, doubtless, influenced
the action of.the Senate, that Matthews had
been in Office several months and had
proved his capacity by rescuing the records
OF the office from loss, and that his manage
ment of the office had the effect of removing 2
much Of the opposition which formerly ex-
isted. For these reasons he ventures in the
most good faith to send in the nomination
again, disclaiming, however, any intention
OF questioning the previous action of the
Senate in the premises.
The Pension ApnrnpEiasiea- -Riii.-
The pension appropriation bill which was
reported to the House today from the COM

expenditure on account of pensions of &c.,
54,500, the same as the estimates. The APP
preparation last year was $76,075,200.
