Judge Pratt says that the Democrats

IT will be remembered that zest and variety
were added to hotel life in ST. Louis year or
two ago by the killing and stufing in trunk
of one of the guests at leading caravan
sary. The unfortunate victim was an English
man named Preller, and his supposed muir
derer, one Brooks, was pursued to Australia
with great hue and cry, captured and brought
back. Brooks was painted very black by the
detectives and newspaper men, and if there is
any reason to suppose that the color was laid
on too heavily it has not yet been made pub
lie. For some unexplained reason the trial
has never come off, and during the months of
Brooks's incarceration in the st. Louis Jail the
accounts of him which have been given out
have gradually developed from those picturing
him as a triple-dyed villain into COM
ments so favorable that the Post-Dispatch is
moved to the following remark: eff we are
to believe evidence, the only paragon of all
virtue in st. Louis is young English gentle
man named Brooks, now unaccountably de-
tanned at the Four Courts" The wonder in
the public mind will soon be why the authori-
ties do not allow Mr.. Brooks to prove that he
had to pack Preller in trunk in self-defense,
and then tender the distinguished prisoner the
freedom of the city.

us for a little space hear something
laudatory of our common country, unless, in
deed, it is still the dream Of the South that it
will yet tear it asunder; and, if that be So it
is useless to claim that the South loves the
land founded by the heroes Of the Revolution.
The youth of the South are as sure to dis
cover the mistakes made by their fathers as
they are to read. Even if they did not read
they would come to understand that fearful
mistake was made when the South went into
rebellion against the country they could not
rule for a time This is inevitable, and the
regret will be felt by every true-hearted one
OF them that their fathers did not die for the
Union, to keep it an undivided country. The
talk of the Constitution is Of the same AFRO
CANT kind that drove the South into war
that could have but one result. TWAS doomed
to defeat from the moment the first gun was
fired, and. though the fortune of war seemed
to waver, the result was assured from the out
set May the day speedily come when such
advisers shall no longer attempt to poison the
minds of the rising generations against the
country they should love. The North is seek
ing in every way to cover up the traces Of the
war, and to build up sentiment in favor Of
an undivided country 1t asks the South to
help in the patriotic work, and to assist in
making this, our common country, the grand
est in the world, the pride and glory of every
man, North and South. We want men in In
diana who love the whole country more than
they do Indiana, and in Georgia who love the
Union more than they do Georgia. Let the
memory of the heroic deeds of the dead be re-
vered forever, and the mistakes be recalled

The relatives Of Miss Folsom should be
muzzled, if they persist in the course they
have pursued in the recent past. The last to
talk more than he should is a maternal uncle
Of that lucky miss, Mr.. Ell. F. Harmon, of
Boston. In a recent interview he Ingenious
ly said frankie at a very early age gave
promise Of great beauty. She was loved by
every one who knew her. She was frank in
manner, warm-hearted and very lovely" The
public has calamity conceded that this young
lady is one of the loveliest creatures that the
Western world has ever produced, and that a
more beautiful girl never visited these mum
dane shores. But what is the use of her
proud relatives going to greater lengths and in
keeping up the chorus Of adulationf When a
young lady has taken the first prize in a skat
ng rink beauty contest it is superfuous to
add anything. Recent events have proved
this young miss one of the most remarkable
beauties that ever dazzled and COMPOUNDED hui
manity. It is to be regretted only that she was
not discovered as much as six months ago. A
reporter with good deal more impudence than
sense asked this uncle when the President
commenced his matrimonial intentions upon
the lady, and he, with even less appreciation
OF propriety, blandly admitted that he did not
know. "He was very friendly disposed toward
Miss Folsom from tho time she was a child
but about three years ago, his attentions be-
gan to assume moro serious aspect" Thus

PROBABLY never in the history of financial
transactions of magnitude has any one ever real
lied such returns as did John E. Dubois, of Du-
bois, Pa, q few days ago. His uncle, realizing
that he was dying, transferred all his property,
valued at sl5 600, 900. to him for the considera-
ton of 81. This is at the rate of fifteen million
per cent. per day, or not less than 8, 100000
per cent. per annum. The who invest
money at this rate is very stupid man If he
fails to take advantage of it.

A REMARKABLE thing is chronicled by the New
York Graphic. 1t recently printed the portrait
of certain well-known citizen, and it resembled
him SO closely that il was comparatively easy for
anybody to identify it The subject was SO de-
lighted that he promptly sent in a card express
ing his thanks. This is thought to be the first
instance of the kind since the daily press began
the work of publishing portraits Other papers
will be encouraged to hope that they may some
time be able to do as well.

IT is said jay Gould lists his personal prop
cry at 100000 Railroad and telegraph stock
is personal property. In the days when they
used straight Anglo-Saxon this would have
been called stealing. -Chicago News.
1t is injudicious, as we'll as dishonest to
make such statement just at this time, when
there is such bitter feeling against this man.
We have no wish to apologize for anything he
has ever done, nor to smooth anything over
for him now; but it is impolitic to add to the
fire of discomfort and prejudice felt against
capital by certain men. We do not know the
amount of Jay Goulds personal property. The
amount it is listed at may or may not be right
But this much is certain, that no man need
wonder that he does not include his property
in telegraph and railway lines. These are
taxed in the several States through which they
pass, and if he were to list them he would
simply be paying double taxes on his posses
sions. The State of Indiana, for one, does not
wait for Mr.. Gould to give in an estimate of
his telegraph stock, but places a value on it for
him, and collects taxes accordingly. It is I'M
fair to take him to task in this thing and at
this time it is worse than an offense against
the grabber of railways for it is likely to stir
up hatred for a cause that has no foundation
in truth. There is enough trouble among the
workingmen without unnecessarily adding to

In speaking of the reports of Miss Folsom's
wealth the usually accurate Philadelphia Press

The daily press of Glasgow analyses the
finding Of the jury investigating the wrecking
of the Oregon, and shows it up in a very bad
light. Taking the evidence adduced, it dem
onstrates in manner very convincing that
the great steamer must have run down the
schooner, since it is apparent that the former
must have struck the latter in the STERN as
was shown by the fact that the schooner's
lights were not seen until after the collision
took place, which would have been true had
the collision happened as the Glasgow papers
sclaim it did. 1t would seem that the papers
make good case against the commission that
investigated and passed upon the accident.
Besides not seeing the lights Of the schooner,
as they would have been seen if the vessels
had been approaching each other, the papers
demonstrate that the holes made in the side of
the Oregon wereA exactly such as would have
been made by the stern of vessel. This,
Also explains why the bowsprit of the
schooner was not seen by those who were on
deck. It was at the opposite end of the
smaller vessel. 1t is evident that the COM
mission chosen to conduct the investigation
have done their work in very careless fash
ion, aud with every indication of bias in favor
of the Cunard company. The finding is a re-
