Missionaries Starting for Africa.

New York Tribune. Saturday.
Around the mizzen mast of the Inman steamer
City of Chester, yesterday afternoon, the band
of missionaries, who are starting for Africa,
gathered with their friends and sang old Method
list hymns. Chaplain McCabe led the singing,
and the Rev Stephen Merritt and hundred
men and women from the Methodist churches of
New York and Brooklyn joined in the songs.
In the intervals between the singing the Rev.
Dr. Asbury Lowery, who has directed the mis-
sionary services during the week, addressed the
party. DIR. Lowrey is over six feet high, and his
gray head and broad shoulders lowered above
those of the whole party. The cabin passengers
looked curiously at the group and then gathered
in the crowd around them.
AS the steamer pulled out into the stream the
friends of the missionaries collected at the cad
of the pier and sang Nearer my God to Thee
The missionaries joined in the singing from the
steamers deck. One of them was a ruddy-
checked young woman of eighteen, who is just
out of seminary, and is going to teach the Afri-
can canibals how to read and write. A little girl
of three or four years shouted and waved her
hand from the arms of her mother, who was
missionary. The crowd looking on joined in the
shouting and the singing until the City of Chester
was out in the stream, disappearing in the fog
and mist.
On April the missionaries will sail from Iiv-
erpool for the African coast, where they will be
met by Bishop Taylor, the Methodist bishop of
Africa, and will be directed by him to their des-
tinations in the interior

not for cheaper papers What is wanted is
excellence and this can be had only at fair
prices. The American newspaper is marvel
of cheapness. It's worth can be maintained,
in the future as in the past, by paying fair re-
turns for all it prints. That there is no popu-
lar demand for cheap morning newspaper is
attested by the fact that such as sell for less
than five cents do not have any larger circu-
lations than larger ones that sell for the regu-
lar price. Small papers at small prices have
their functions, and may be successful in their
way; but it is not expected that a paper worth
twice as much shall attempt to compete with
them in price, any more than two-pound loaf
of bread should sell at the same price asked
for q loaf of one pound. Fair wages for news
paper employees demand fair prices for the prod
uct of their labors.

lieve the Knights Of Labor-the vast
majority of them-will regard, with the
least complacence the men who violate the
law by committing depredations. The men
who destroy property might as we'll AID as
lawfully commit highway robbery or violence
on the persons or families of the railway
officials. The man or men who seek to place
the Knights Of Labor in such position are
not true representatives Of the organization,
and should not be permitted to speak for the
men in any degree.

THE Boston Herald, after explaining to the
Democrats that they can't help themselves if
the President chooses to go contrary to their
wishes, says the only thing wherein the party
can prove itself stronger than the President is
in denying him a denomination, and then
asks, with triumphant infection: "But
what if he does not want it?" AS conun.

sition that Democrat who ever held an office
will not want it for second term is one that
cannot be entertained long enough for serious
consideration, without causing disagreeable

The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided, in the Mackin case, that the
crime with which he was charged was an
Infamous" one within the meaning of the
amendment to the Constitution, and could
only be prosecuted upon presentment or in
dictment by grand jury, and not upon in
formation. By this decision it becomes i'm
possible to prosecute any felonies, or any
crimes punishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary, upon information. The de-
cision will not effect the release of the great
Democratic reformer of Chicago, who is serv-
ing term of five years in the Joliet peni-
Tertiary, under conviction for perjury in a
State court.

this differentiation. For studious and thought
full man, in pulpit or newspaper, in Congress
or on the hastings, to make and emphasize
such false distinction is demagogical and
dangerous, and the one who does it is an
enemy to the best interests of society, and to

The Washington correspondent of the New
York World praises the Democratic abstem-
iousness of Secretary Whitney and wife. and
proudly declares that they have not expended
$500, 900 in entertaining this winter, but that,
in point of fact, have not exceeded 5000.
The most economical disciples of Jefferson
could not possibly find fault with this, unless
they would have their servants be absolutely
parsimonious. At the rate of 5000, 900 term
for each member of the Cabinet the total for
the four years of this "reform" adminstra-
ton would be 81, 400, 900, or just $780, 900 less

AN English maiden lady has left bequest Of
lace fiounces, diamonds, watches, parasols and

the highest degree of culture attainable by the
feminine intellect Some very superior young
women are said to have been turned loose upon
the English public after a subsection to the
Girton process, and the higher education of
women is gaining in favor. It may be doubted,
however. whether the spirit of vanity and friv-
olity is yet so thoroughly eliminated from the
minds of the maidens to call for the estab-
lishment of museum for the display of femi-
nine fineries. The time is hardly ripe yet for
the civilized girl, however intellectual, to look
upon laces, diamonds and the like as curiosities

THE experiment about to be undertaken by a
Chicago morning paper of eight pages, of sell
ing copies at three instead Of five cents each,
will be doubtful one. 1t was tried in New
York. and the testimony is that, while it has
in some instances increased the sales a little,
it has proved losing enterprise. 1t is no
argument at all to say that the price of white
paper has declined greatly since the war; for
while that is true, the other and more formi-
dable expenses in connection with the publ
cation of newspaper have quadrupled. There
is nothing in the world as cheap as a good
newspaper at five cents while Cheap or
tawdry one would be dear at cent. During
and before the war the price of the morning
paper was five cents. If anybody thinks they
are not cheaper now at the same price, let
him compare papers of the two dates.
The paper of to-day is incomparably
better in every respect, editorially,

ACCORDING to Governors Martin and Mar
maduke, the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company
has faithfully lived UP to its agreement made
with its employees in March, 1885. The only
reason for the strike on that line is because of
the discharge of foreman on the Texas &
Pacific, with which it has no connection, and
for which it is in no wise responsible. The
Knights of Labor recognize this fact by going
before the United States Court at New Orleans
to have the question of the justice of Hail.
discharge judicially determined. Mr.. Hoxie
says his road will take into its employ all its
old men, save those who have destroyed its
property or advised others to do so. On this
proposition. it is reported, the effort to
compose the difficulty is likely to fail. Is the
country to understand that the Knights of
Labor not only indorse, but will stand by. such
nliscreants as those who destroyed machinery

The Star says that some of the incidents

to file application for several memberships in
the company for this State. There are sever

THEY who go down to the sea in ships are no
longer entitled to precedence as the class which
risk the greatest dangers. An estimate made
from surgical statistics shows that no less than
$4,000 persons are injured annually in the United
States from the single duty of coupling cars. Add
to these the accidents to other employees, and the
total will show that the chance that the rail-
road trainman has for losing life or limb is too
great for agreeable contemplation by one who
is looking about for reasonably safe occupation
in life.

half days absence, he remained away three
days, and offered no explanation. Mr.. Martin
Irons, the Knight of Labor who is managing
the general strike which ensued upon the
Missouri Pacific railway after this outrage
upon Mr.. Hall, says the htters dismissal
was part Of plan to totally disorganize
the labor organization and extinguish the
movement for an eight-hour law. The
scratching and scrambling of the leading
Knights for reasons to justify their conduct
in causing loss and distress to thousands of
innocent people is getting to be a painful
process, and as yet they have not sue
