Who then not only "loneyed,'

The Late EXPIRES, Robbery.

ST. LOUIS, Nov 1.-THE evidence in the
express robbery case 80 far as made public
goes to prove that the messenger, David S
Fotheringham, was an accessory, or at least
willing victim to the affair. Discrepan
cies in his statements to thu detectives indi
cate that he knows more of the manner
in which the robbery was planned and exc
cuted than he would like to have them
know and au expert penman, who was be.
fore the grand jury last Saturday, states
that the three letters signed "Jim Cum.
miogs" were written by one, and the same
man, and expresses his belief that that man
was Fotheringham and that he wrote them
before the commission of the robbery. 1t
now transpires that the messengers trunk
was searched soon after the robbery and a
number of sheets of paper were found GOV.
cred with copies of the signature of W. J.
Barrett, manager of the express company.
It is supposed that the messenger became
able to forge this signature so that he might
afix it to the orders which the robber pre.
scented, which allowed him to enter the car.
Altogether it looks bad for the messenger.

The RULE OF Successful is astonishing
how many of our successful business men
attribute their good fortune neither to luck
nor general excellence of judgement but will
tell you how strict adherence to some sin.
gle rule has done it all for them. Com
modore Vander5lt's receipt for making
millions with certainty and CELEBRITY, was to
never sign note William E. Dodge would
not hold any pecuniary interest in any en-
terprise that was at all active on Sunday,
and he firmly believed that his wealth was
o reward for conscientiously observing the
Sabbath day; the first John Jacob Astor's
charm lay in investing nothing aside from
his regular business except in real estate ;
and Alexander T. Stewart would have
anticipated misfortune if he had wantonly
broken the smallest personal engagement.
Men OF success can afford to practice their
theories. and even become slaves to them.
Mer of failure cannot indulge in such lux
uries Of conduct.

MORE RIoToUs PRoCEEDINGs.-The was
a collision last night near the Ashland ave.
nue. bridge, Chicago, between a crowd Of
strikers and squad of infantry. The
bridge was guarded by twelve men from
the second Infantry, under Lieut.. Mcmillan,
the balance of the company being stationed
in the vicinity Of neighboring packing
houses. The crowd of strikers and sympa.
thisers numbered about 500 and was deter
mined to prevent packing house employees
from crossing the bridge on their way back
to the city at the close of the days work.
The crowd was charged by the squad sew.
eral times, and forced to retire temporarily,
but increasing numbers added to its per.
sstency, and a serious conflict seemed i'm
mlnent. Finally Lieut.. Mcmillan gave the
order to load with ball cartridges. The
crowd thereupon speedily dispersed, and
the employees went on their way without
further molestation. No one suffered So
rious injury.

THE WASHINGTON Star says: 1T is said
that Senator Edmunds receives more recog.

at the time General Mahone's vote prevent

Confederates from holding commissions in
the army that that statute should stand in
order to show (which aide was right" His
republicanism is of the most radical apd
rancorous character, and the white people
whose lot was cast in the South seem to be
the objects of his special antipathy. And yet,
under democratic administration, that
was put in power by all the Southern
States, assisted by only four OF those of the
North, such a man, according to the paper
referred to, receives more recognition at the
White House than any other congressman.
When Fred. Douglass and his white wife
attended the White House receptions last
winter, to which, according to the former,
they were always invited, they were tie
hcnored guests of the evenings.

At this late day another origin for the ex.
preston, Painting it red,"i is given. Back
in the ZOOS racing was one of the exciting
features of Mississippi river travel, and when
an opportunity offered for trial of speed
all hands were breathless with excitement.
The first command from the captain would
be: "Paint her red, boys!" which was river
slang for filling the frebox with rosn in
order to create quick, hot fire, at which
time the fre-boxes would be thrown open.
Then, if the night were dark, the effect was
simply grand. As far ahead as the eye
could see the river would bs a deep red
from the reflection, forming beautiful pic
ture, which, once seen, could never be for
gotten. 1t was at that time that the ex-
preston, paint the town red,n originated,
as the old steamboat men intended to con-
vey the idea by its use that they would have
beautiful time on arrival at their destina
ton.

Element Of the debt upon the moderate
terms proposed by the creditors. 10 the
effective force of their party-the colored
yoters-tho amount of the debt or the mode
of its settlement being Of no consequence,
tbey would as soon support debt paying
rs a repudiatirg policy, and would vote for
debt payers next fall with as much unanim-
ity az they did for debt regulators few
years ago. The lew straightout republicans
in the State never had much heart in the
repudiating policy of those with whom they
acted, and they would be glad of an oppor-
tunity to set themselves right on the debt
question. So that if the Mahoneites change
front, and come out for the settlement of
the debt upon the easy and conceding terms
now offered by the creditors, they will not,
thereby, lose any of their former support.
How many additional votes they will gain
from men who have heretofore opposed
them solely on account of their repudiatipg
policy remains to be seen. But it is nc less
certain that the numberiwould be large than
that the democrats could i'll afford to lose one.
Honesty is as bound to. win in the end as
truth. and if the democrats are wise they
will anticipate their opponents, and declare
that as the U. S. Supreme Court has decided
against them they low favor the settlement
of the debt upon terms satisfactory to tie
creditors, and therefore honorable to the

NOTHING COULD afford more convincing
proof of the growth of the low tariff move.
ment in the West than the recent re. election
of Mr.. Anderson to Congress in Kansas.
Owing to his low tariff opinions, the republic
cans of his district would not re-nominate
him. But he ran as an independent, on a
distinctly avowed low tariff platform, and on
that platform he heat the regular republi.
can candidate by six thousand majority,
and that, too, though the democrats had
candidate of their own. Kansas is an
agricultural State, and the farmers there
are intelligent enough to know that low
tariff would be blessing to them.

The career of Adah Isaac Menken and
her peculiar. welded experiences are promi-
nent in the annals of the stage. Her real
name Was Adelaide McCord, and she was
born in Mineburg, near New Orleans, in
1885. About 1858 she married Alexander
Isaac Menken, business man, but their
union was unhappy and they were divorced
in Nashville. In 1859 she married John G.
Heenan, the pugiist, but they soon quar-.
relied. They were divorced while Heeuau
was in England, and in 1868 she married
MIR. Newell the journalist, hest known as
"Orpheus c. Kerr" She left for California
with him, promising to give up the stage
forever. But the temptations were too
strong, and she broke her word. In 1864
they started to go to New York, but they
separated at the Isthmus, he going to New
York and she to Loudon. Then commenced
series of most brilliant successes, and she
had lords of the realm st her feet.
10 Paris Louis Napoleon himself
was in her train. In 1866 she returned
to New York, obtained divorce; re.
turned to Europe, and lived reckless
life. Her grave is in Mont Parnasse, Paris,
not Pere la Chaise, as is generally believed.
