A genuine puzzle developed at the
court house yesterday, and nearly every
body around the building. even to Judge
Lacey, worked at it but without success.
A paper eight inches square and contain
ing, of course, sixty-four square inches,
was cut into four different parts and IN
such a way that it could be put together
in a form which made it five inches wide
and thirteen inches long. This made it
contain sixty-fve square inches. and the
question was how this result was attained
and how il could be accounted for.

The arrest last fall of the two Indians at

THE recent reign of the strike and
the apparently general discomfort
were misinterpreted by the anarchists
of Chicago as denoting that the
popular mind was ripe for an on
slaught upon the civil and social
structure.
And timid people all over the coun-
try accepted the ferment as an oc-
caslon for serious alarm.
But there will be no actual trouble.
An infection of that character will be
promptly quarantined and effectually
suppressed by the ninety-nine hun
dredths of our people and territory not
terrorized by the strike nor disturbed
by dreams of analchy.
Strange as it may appear, it is fact
nevertheless that all the revolt against
the existing conditions has taken place
among the protected classes,' with
not whisper of dissatisfaction
from the unprotected. Railroad mer,
miners, factory workers, mill men,
etc, ETC., make up the "army of the
discontented," or that phalanx which,
Ia the minds of many people, threaten
an assault upon our fabric.
Meanwhile, the farmers, compelled
to purchase all they consume in a
protected" market, and to sell all
they produce, save wool, in an I'M
protected market, murmur not a
word.
Truth is stranger than fiction"
To this class, taxed but uncomplain
ing-these unsubsidized supporters of
subsidy the country looks with entire
confidence for protection against the
threats of the ''protected.'
Fortunately, the tillers of the soil
comprise the majority of our work
ers. They are slow to wrath, too
slow, but when aroused, they may be
depended upon to rehuke effectually
every rebellious outgrow:h of their
tolerance and indulgence.
The wonder is-that with all their
nobility of character and prestige of
independent living, they have so long
worn the collar of the pack-horse for
every other trade.

They promptly held a meeting of the

Inc wonder lS-that with ali their
nobility of character and prestige of
Independent living, they have so long
worn the collar of the pack-horse for
every other trade.
WE doubt whether even . small
minority of miners will to-day contend
that a strike is the proper measure to
secure an advance of wages or redress
of grievances. After being out eleven
weeks many have returned to work
with nothing but an irrecoverable loss
to show for their sacrifice.
Others, already poor, and rendered
poorer by idleness, are compelled to
look for work elsewhere.
These are results that should be we'll
weighed The next time a proposal to
strike gains currency those par
ticularly who have families to main
tain.
Is 1t not an arrant outrage anyhow
that satisfied men should be included
IN strike to secure more pay for dis
satisfied men than dissatisfied men say
they can earn?
"CAUTIoN Now and then we still
hear in both parties certain stereo-
typed platitudes about the overthrow
of bossism." Generally it means a
party "strike," and, like other strikes,
it behooves the regulars to pay no
overdue attention to either men or
grievances-at least not until the
storm-centre passes our meridian.
Then it is well to look sidewise and
finally view the ruins to date from
bird's-eye standpoint.
1t is a practice of this nature that
has invested our observation with
phenomenal penetration and acumen,
and we here put forward the nugget
of wisdom-that the party which sue
ceeds in overthrowing its bosses gen.
orally wins the victory for the other
side.
WE are making history for this re-
gion and in doing so are gaining some
experience.
We have fallen several times into
the hands Of the Philllstines and Satan
himself has seemed to walk to and fro
on the face of the earth. The wrong
rulers have had us in charge and Lard
times made us wonder what the devil
had against the children of men.
History is a daisy, but as great
economic tutor, experience is the sun
flower.
Ii these designations be correct the
daisy and suntiower, combined, will
make the boquct of the future.
APROPoS of the recent proposal to
convert the canal into a railway it is
to be said there is absolutely nothing
the matter with the navigation of the
Mississippi below Memphis. Yet four
fifths of the freight of Memphis goes
out and comes in by rail. More than
half its cotton goes to New York by
rail at 50 and So bail instead of to
New Orleans at 80 cents and ST.
And it is as bad at Vlcksburg, much
closer to New Orleans. Inland naviea
tion is steadily decaying. Its doomed
to extinction and the speedier the
better.
