Another New York jury has commend
ably distinguished itself by promptly
convicting the fire,eating Johann Most,
whose eowardly legs impelled him to
crawl under bed when the minions OF
the law paid him an unexpected visit.
The penalty of the misdemcanor of which
Most and his two fellow prisoners were
found guilty is one year in the peniten.
itentiary and $3.50 fine. The American
people can stand with great deal Of
equanimity the imposition of the full
penalty.

James Black, the wealthy Londoner
and representative of syndicate of
English capitalists, who has been credited
with project to build a new railroad be-
tween Chicago and the Atlantic coast and
with exhibiting special interest in the
prospective Maryland and Delaware ship
canal, has been interviewed by the New
York Tribune. He says that he has
nothing TO do with the Chicago railroad
scheme that that is being engineered by
an organization known as the American
Midland Company but in the canal pro-
ject he feels decided interest. The men
for whom he speaks, he says, have offered
to furnish four-fifths of the capital TO
construct the canal, if the capitalists of
Baltimore and Chicago will furnish the
other 20 per cent. at has been pretty
hard" he continued, "to get them up to
the work, but have no doubt now that
the money will be forthcoming" He re-
ferred TO the Sassafras route as the one
settled upon, and thinks the canal will SO
expedite the transatlantic traffic in west
eru produce rs to enable three voyages to
DO made In the time nowrequired for two.

What's the matter with the Washington
markets Just because there is a bill
under way to tax bogus butter, the
Washington Critic comes out with such
observations as "nothing is so scarce in
our markets as really choice butter, and
what there is of it is held at such exalted
figures that poer people have no alterna.
tive but to buy the cheap stuff, which is
spoiled in the making, or to procure
some more palatable and wholesome sub
stitute." Can it be that while in the
Wilmington markets good print butter,
the genuine article, is offered NJ
prices lower than have been
known here for 20 years--15 to is
cents per pound-the Washingtonians
are required to pay the stifTest of mid
winter prices for the same article Mani.
festly there cannot be SO great disparity
in prices. If there were the diaries OF
Delaware would empty their product into
the District of Columbia in hurry. Let
the Critic man interview some Of OH
butter producers regarding his imaginary
extortionate prices and he will find tha'
his tune does not fit the season by grea
deal. And then how about the "mor,
palatable and wholesome substitute 7" Dc
the people of Washington buy and relisl
bogus butter knowing it to be bogus?

The employees at the United States
mint have been greatly exercised during

by special Officer Thomas Gibson that a
plot was forming among a number OF
New York cracksmen to rob the vaults
in that institution. The mint officials
are very reticent over the matter. but it
is known that Gibson claimed to have in
formation that a hou on Juniper street.
below Chestnut, had beon rented By the
cracksu en-. and that it was their inten-
ton of tunneling under the street from
that point TO the mint and undermining

would have been difficult and expensive,
