A YANKEE FARMER ON THE SITUATION
BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES IN
 THE SAME YOKE.
A New Party Wansed.-WiII the Knights
 of Labor fill lhe bili

ED. EXAMINER. year is clos ing and the great "change" promised in our national administration has not yet shown itse'f. This proves conclusively what has ben of:en charged against the dominant parties, that both are led and directed by the same power.
 Your friend that was to show up the difference between these parties made a sad failure of bIs"9a has eBprt B as l11bb 1f biah ithart aat was no difference to be pointed out, else why did he take up the creeds of Dcmoc- racy and Republicanism of the past and strive 10 make them answer for the status of the present.
 The Democratic party was strangled when it gave it's fealty to the slave power, and has sailed un Ter false colors ever since. The same is true of the Republican party, since devoid of any issue to longer perpetuate itself it went over body and soul to the money power-the slave power of the present.
 In conversation with a New York State Democrat, the other day, he told me that he had voted the Democratic ticket time after time in hopes that change would be for the better-that the leaders would re- turn to the traditions of the rarty and run it in the interests of the people; but he was disgusted. as instead, he found them ape ing the Republicans in trucking to the corporations and monied interests, and was done with them. I find many of the old Democrats among the farmers are be- ginning to experience the same feeling.
 Our President has made his mark on the silver line, and his Secretary of the Treas ury is sentinel on the battlements of the money kings. How long will the Ameri- can people vote to perpetuate this sort of thing? Our farms are slipping from our hands, and all on account of the war of the moEey-lenders on our money. They make it scarce that the price of products may be lowered-thus sapping the found atiop of the farmers living. Surely we who labor owe no allegiance to a govern ment that tolerates such infamous piracy as this.
 I am not postel on the direct tendency of the Knights of Labor, further than they seem to stick for high wag-s and other privileges, in times of depression and high taxes. Why don't they vote for candi- date of their own, and not for those of the politicians who favor keeping up the piracy of the producers They seem to be as stupid in this respect as the average farmer and day laborer. I have long looked to that body with some hope, thinking their leaders would see the necessity of the formation of a new party, and SO end this trouble. But am more dis | at the aspect than even at the | apathy of my brother farmers, for three 6fths of the latter are densly ignorant on Ill questions of social economy, while among the Knights are men of talents and | eminent ability.
 However, I trust that time will yet make III things right, and if we cannot learn outside the school of sad experience we hall l arn within it, for the oppre ssor is ast driving us to it. Then comes the }evolution-a peaceable enc we ho2e.

 But an evolution has begun and wo- men of every degree are eager to pur- sue some useful industry. In com pliance with the earnest wishes of a few active women, the State of Miss issipi has instituted a womans free industrial college. To the bounty of the State were added liberal donations, till it is now the best institution of the kind in the nation. The curriculum includes every study taught in any college, besides the industrial bran ches, which are telegraphy, stenogra- phy, type-writing, bookkeeping, draw ing, designing, modelling, wood-car- wing. engraving, needlework, photogra- phy, pharmacy. dressmaking, millinery, cooking and printing. It has the best equipped laboratory for practical chem istry of any in the country. Each county in the state is permitted tc send certain number of pupils who have to pass an examination for ad mittance, and are required each ir turn to do some kitchen work. They are at liberty to select their studies and the branch or branches of indus try. Each girl will be fitted to carr her own living when she graduates Though only opened last fall the in stitution has already 300 pupils, all it can accommodate, and scores apply in vain. There are twelve lady pro fessors besides some other instructors It marks an epoch in the advance ment of the Southern states, as the character and status of any people are gauged by that of their women.

In 5000 of these rooms there are neither stoves nor fireplaces. 25,ooo families live, or rather die in cellars, for the sanitary conditions of these cellars are such that people can- not H7'e in them long.

THE Orangemen are said to be or ganizing to oppose Parnell and home rule for Ireland.

The Case Dismissed at Cincinnati for Want
Of Jurisdiction.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 12.-The opinion Of
the United States Circuit Court in tbs case
of the Government against the American
Bell Telephone Company was delivered
yesterday morning by Judge Sage. 1t was
very vOluminOuS and was in favor OF the
Telephone Company. Taking up. first, the
defendants motion to 1uash the return. the
court granted the motion on the ground
that the service, according to the maj sliaI's
return mad been made upon local corpora
tons i'm Ohio. designated in the return as
agents and partners of the defendant The
court found that the local corporations were
not such agents as were contemplated by
the Ohio statute defining the method of alb
tanning service upon foreign corporations in
Ohio. Taking up then the plea in abatement,
which by the election of the Government
had been set down for argument instead of
being put in issue, and had thereby become
entitled to treatment by the court as if its
statements had all been established by
proof, the court found that the proper eie.
ments for giving this court jurisdictiOn-th
carrying OH of business in Ohio through
general agent, q local statute providing that
service should be made on such general OF
managing agent--did not exist as the tele.
phone business in Ohio was done by
local companies, who leased the instru.
ments from the parent company, and there
was no general or managing agent of the
parent company i'm Ohio. As to the claim
of the Government that dealing in patent
made the company domestic in the entire
territory Of the United States coexistent
with the patent, the court held that it could
not be sustained. The grant to the pat
entee was RICH: to exclude others from
making or selling his patent His right to
sell was only common law right, and was
not franchise from the Government. The
bill was dismissed for want of jurisdiction
without prejudice to instituting suit else
where.

Ten Thousand People of San Francisco

son.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13-An immense
audience assembled at the Metropolitan
Hall last night to express their Indignation
at the murder of little Mamie Kelly, who
was cowardly shot down ON Wednesday
last by Alexander Goldens0n. Several fiery
speeches were made which created intense
excitement. After the meeting ad-
jOurned the excited crowd left the
building and proceeded to the county Jail,
where the prisoner is confined, with the
evident intention Of taking him out and
lynching him. Passing along the street
the crowd was greatly increased in num-
bers and by the time they reached their
destination it numbered fully 10000. Sew
eral attempts were made to storm the Jail,
but it was guarded so strongly that the DO
lice were enabled to repel the mob ut each
attempt.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 1a-The evidence in
the express robbery case. so far as made
public, goes to prove that Messenger David
s. Fotheringham was accessory, or at least
q willing victim In the affair. Discrepan-
cies in his statement to detectives Indicate
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 an expert penman. who was be-
fore the grand jury last Saturday, states
that the three letters signed Jim Cum
mings" were written b. one and tina same
man, and expresses his belief that that
man was FOtheriDgham, and that he made
them before the commission of the robbery,
1t now transpires that the messengers
trunk was searched soon after the robbery
and number Of scraps of paper were
found covered with copies of the signature
Of W. j. Barrett, manager a the express
company. 1t is supposed the messenger
became able to forge this signature 50 that
he might afiix it to the orders which the
rObber presented, and which allowed him
to make the trip with the messenger. OF
course, il the messenger was in conspiracy.
his accOmplices could have entered the car
anyway, but the forged orders enabled the
messenger to give the excuse that he did.
Altogether, it looks bad for FOtheringham.
