eighteen miles from Atlanta, Ga, and

The packers OF Chicago took arbitrary
grounds during the strike that they were
compelled to abandon. They decided to
employ no man who belonged TO any
labor organization. This would have
compelled Mr.. Powderly and all other
conservative Knights aud members of
labor organizations to have made fight
for the life of their orders. 1t must be
conceded by all right minded men that
labor, as well as capital, has a right to
combine for self protection. A Dispatch
from Chicago on the 11th inst. said {:

Exhibition in Washington in connect

exhibition of the products and attract
ions of the three Americas at the
National Capital strikes many Con
gressmen as an admirable idea be-
cause of its benefits to the business
interests of the country.

who is the only Spanish-American in

which DIR. Newm In has been called, by
attending it occasionally. The Balti-
more Conference, which is sitting here
now, is ready to make appointments,
and Rev. Newman is anxious 10 secure
this pastorate. Among reports about
this matter is one to the effect that
Senator Stanford vas eXerting him

the appointment the church will receive
substantial aid from Senator Stanford.

kind of popularity and gossip, for be

SUPERINTENDENT HIGBEB,


Governor Pa,tison ought not to
have appointed Dr. f. 4. Higbee TO
the position Of Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, because he is repub-
lican, and the democratic party was
entitled to the office But now strong
and sufficient reasons why he should
resign have been shown, and DIR. llig-
bee ought TO 90. While the Governor
is investigatinglthe Soldiers Orphans
schools and exposing the miserable
condition of some OF these institu-
tions, the Superintendent writes let
ter in self-defense and confesses his
ignorance of the condition of things
which the Governor has discovered.
It was the Supe,intendent's duty 10
know all about these schools, and the
manner in which they are conducted,
and il he has failed to do this, he is
incompetent to fill the responsible
position which he occupies. Mount
Joy where the boys wear stockings
and shirts two months without change
and lS0 of them bathe in the same
tubs without change Of water, and
wipe on four towels, is only few
miles from Harrisburg, and was often
visited by DR.. Higbee, and yet he did
oot know that these pupils were kept
on IS cents day, wore dirty clothes
and had the itch, all of which the Gov
ernor and Attorney General discovered
on their first visit 1t will not do TO
say that somebody else is responsible
for the negligent care of these children,
and DR.. Higbee's defense is not at all
| satisfactory.

1t is not murder for one sharper to
kill another in New York. James II.
Holland has just been acquitted on a
charge of shooting Tom Davis in that
city. Holland lives in Texas, and
hearing that Davis had a peculiar way
of making money, he went to New
York to beat the sharper at his own
game. Davis pretended TO sell count
erfeit money, aud when he found a
purchaser he took him to his room and
counted out a pile of genuine bills.
If the purchaser was satisfied, the
money was placed in satchel and put
in a desk on the plea that some one
might come in and surprise them, and
while the victim was counting out his
money an accomplce took the bills
from the satchel through panel in an
adjoining room, and replaced them
with bundle of paper cut and tied
like the bills. The victim went out
with his purchase and when he dis
covered the fraud was afraid 10 prose
cute, as he too was guilty of an offence
in trying 10 obtain counterfeit money.
In the present case Holland had
learned of this game, and went to see
Davis with the intention of preventing
any change being made through the
panel. Davis counted out $4,000 of
good money, for which Holland gave
him $500, and then grabbed the sa,ch-
el and attempted to leave the room.
Davis undertook to prevent him, and
Holland shot aud killed him. The
t2ry claim that the verdict was ground.
I'D on the belief that the act was done
in seif.defense. If Holland went TO
ste Daeis with the intention of getting
$4,000 for $500, he was guilty of an
attempt to commit felony, and it is
hard 10 see how the jury could ac9uit
him The world was well rid of Tom
Davis, even at the hand of another
villain and il The gallows had been
permitted TO send Holland after him,
he could just as easily have been spar:
