Chicago was the scene of renewed
labor disturbances lastweek. Strikers
on the Lake Shore road made every
effort to stop the trains from running
and partly succeeded. A train was
started out strongly guarded by of
ficers and detectives, but the strikers
pursued the train crowded on an en-.
CINE and compelled the police to
back the train into Chicago again.
Several were injured on both sides,
one of the strikers fatally. Stones,
coupling pins, pieces of iron and
anything within reach, were taken
up by the strikers and hurled at
those who were endeavoring to start
the trains.

Randall has turned the tables or
Morrison by introducing a Tariff
Bill more in harmony with the party
platform, but the free traders viii
see that it never becomes a law
This session of congress could pass
no tariff legislation if it never ad
journed. The Baltimore american
has the following comments on the
situation of the two factions:-
Both wings of the party will prob
ably now agree on an armistice, and
allow the bill to remain quietly in
the committee, so that the party
may come before the country with
the semblance Of harmony that
does not exist. They feel that the
failure to pass the tariff legislation
to which they pledged themselves
has seriously compromised them,
and will point to the slumbering
Randall bill as an evidence that the
two wings are approaching mutual
ground. The device is an ingenious
one, but it cannot succeed. There
is no more union on the Randall bill
than there was on the Morrison bill.
The bill, if ever reported from the
committee, will be so saddled with
Morrisonian amendments that Ran
dali will scarcely be able to recog-
nize it. The party is utterly power
less to pass it, as it is to fulfill any
of it's other promises.

The fact that Cleveland has Y,

The fact that Cleveland has ve-
toed a number of "indiscriminaten
pension bills is regarded by the
Democratic administration papers
as evidence of great reform in the
party that will save the q. s. Treas
ury from being depleted. Shallow
partisan minds grasp at a straw for
want of better support. The pen.
sion bills vetoed are mostly applica-
tions for relief by disabled soldiers
who for some reason do not come
under the provisions of the pension
laws, and the whole amount of re.
lief so asked and denied by the
President does not amount to one
half of the money appropriated to
put new carpets and furniture in the
White House,-appropriations that
he will not veto. Nor will the hun
dre1s of thousands of dollars appro
priated in the interests of any Dem
ocratic constituency be vetoed. But
the few thousand dollars asked to
keep the wolf from the doors of q
number of disabled soldiers is mag
nified into millions, and taken as
evidence of great nerve and ever
lasting reform, by the exceedingly
hungry and thirsty, for the want O.
something better to harp on.

been buried in a sitting position

evening of last week, was arrested
Friday night following. On that
evening, between and 8 O'Clock,
within four miles Of Moundsyille,
Samuel Dorsey, Jack Flanagan and
Hanson Riggs captured johnson.
Since his escape he fingered most of
the time in sight of Moundsville
hiding in the woods and out,
buildings. Several times the pursuers
were within few feet of him. Being
hungry he came out at last for
something to eat, and called at
Flanagan's. Mr.. Flanagan was not at
home, but came home soon after
johnson had left. Mrs. Flanagan
told her husband johnson had been
there, and Flanagan went out and
called to his assistance Dorsey aud
Riggs. The three pursued and
captured their man on the road, and
brought him to Moundsville about
midnight Friday night, where he was
committed to jail. Subsequently
Sheriff ShOwacre removed his pris-
oner.t to the Penitentiary, fearing he
would be taken from the Jail and

The action of the U. S. Senate in
refusing to investigate the charges
against Senator Payne, of Ohio, is
not meeting with the approval OF
the public. The evidence is toe
strong TO be overlooked by senator
ial courtesy. There is widespread
opinion that the Ohio Senator did
not regard money as an object in
securing seat in the U. S. Senate
Neither the majority nor the minor
ity reports of the committee. which
was sent out to take the evidence
would say that the testimony was
insufficient grounds for an investi
cation. The people are forced tc
the conviction that money is more
powerful in politics than the pop
ular will, and that legislation is &C
cordingly Influenced. Public offices
are too much of merchantable
commodity for the welfare of the
people and the safety of the govern
ment.
The evil exists at the very foot Of
the political ladder, and increases
until the top is reached. There is

mate" expenses, the biggest item OF

How Pearls Are Sometimes GANG,

How Pearls Are Sometimes Caught.
Some of the people in the Bahamas
live upon fishing, especially for pearls.
watched them fishing for them. They
go out in small boats to where the water
is about twenty feet deep, where, by the
use of the water glass, they can easily
see any object at the bottom. This glass
consists of four boards about fifteen
inches long, nailed together, in the form
OF frustrum of hollow pyramid; the
small end is closed with piece of ordi-
nary glass. By putting this end few
inches below the surface of the water
and looking in the other, they can dis
Germ any object at considerable depths.
AS soon as they see a conch they dive
down for it, and never saw them fail
to bring up ore.
After having collected a number of
shells they are taken to the shore and
the conch is examined for its pearl They
can usually tell by feeling, but to make
sure they cut them up, when, if the conch
contains pearl, it will drop out as soon as
the flesh is opened. The pearl is simply
hard formation inside of the flesh of
the conch, and has no apparent connec-
ton with it. 1t is rarely that one is
found. Often hundreds of conchs are
caught without finding single pearl,
while on the other hand, two or
three may be found in catch of half a
dozen conchs. June is said to be the
best month for them. The fishermen
easily get from IS to 800 apiece for
their misunderstanding to their quail
ity, the beautiful pink ones bringing the
highest prices.--N Orleans Times-Dem-
