The motion for new trial in the
cases of the condemned anarchists
was presented to the States attOr-
ney at Chicago Tuesday. Thirteen
grounds are assigned for the mo-
ton, among them the alleged dis
covery of new evidence, misbe-
havior OF jurors, and improper rul-
ings of the court. The motion is
supported by eight aflidavits. Jno.
p. Hillup Deluse, a saloon keeper
at Indianapolis, in his affidavit,
swears that in May last, before the
Haymarket riot, man came into
his saloon one morning, and, after
drinking, said he came from New
York, and was going to Chicago.
He referred to the labor troubles,
and said Deluse would soon hear
of trouble in Chicago. Pointing
to a small satcbel he had with him,
he said: al have got something
in here that will work. You will
hear of it, There are several
MISUNDERSTANDING remarks by jurors
showing prejudice against the
prisoners.

An Engineers Luck.

The superstitious find much COM
fort in the record of engineer Ed.
Drohan, of the Cincinnati Southern
road, for luck. lie was expecting
trouble in Ludlow, KY, where he
had a fight a few days ago, and he
induced engineer jim Jordan to
take his run in from Lexington on
the night express. Jordan's engine
ran into freight locomotive at
Ludlow Sunday morning week, and
he was killed. Now comes the
strange part of the story. Jordan
is the fourth man who has been
killed on Drohan's run within a
few years. In April, 1882, Daniel
Driscoll took his place for one trip
and was killed at Lexington, Two
months later, Dan Angus took his
run for one trip and was killed at
Rogers Gap. Two weeksago Matt.
Combs, the first engineer to run a
train over the Cincinnati Southern,
and who had been in the business
thirty years without an accident,
took DrOhan's run and was also
killed. 1t is safe to say that no
engineer will take his place after
this if he IL q believer IN luck

Whiting jumped on, and seizing
the fireman 10y the throat, threw
him to one side, while he pulled
the throttle wide open. lavens
had crowded into the cab in the
meantime, and the fireman jumped
of. When the engine was within
ten feet OF the gate, and running at
a rapid rate of speed, a guard sta

shot in the head, the bullet glancing
around his skull and only slightly
stunning him. lie was locked up.
The engine was caught by a yard

We fear our people do not realize
the value of our home market; leav'
ing out cotton and tobacco, over ~
per cent. OF the agricultural pro
ducts of the United States is con
sumed at homo, and the sure way
to prevent the agricultural crisis
the croakers predict is to encourage
the non. producers of grain and
thereby consume the s or 10 pei
cent. we now send abroad.
DO foreign nations buy of us be
cause they love us? Look at the
spirit displayed by France and
England during our late war. They
and others glorled in our destruc
ton. No they buy from us be
cause IL is ECONOMY to do so. When
ever 1t ceases to be economical tC
buy of us, that moment we lose theil
trade. There is no sentiment in it
but purely a matter OF dollars anC

Threatened LYnchIng.

A good deal of excitement was
caused last Saturday by party of
twenty-five or thirty men who
rode into Culpeper bent on lynch
ing Capt. Clatterbuck, who is
charged with killing Edward Green
some time ago. They broke into a
blacksmith shop some miles out of
the town and took a sledge- hammer
and other heavy tools to force an
entrance to the Jail, and but for the
lack of a leader Clatterbuck, 1t is
thought, would have been lynched.
Sunday Sheriff Pulliam called on
Capt. Burrows, of the Culpeper
Minute men, for a detachment to
guard the Jail, which duty they are
now performing. The feelingagainst
Clatterbuck in his neighbOrbood is
very bitter.

Arerdge Value Of Farm Ldnds, Farm
Products, and Wages Of Farm
Ldborers greater IN MdnWdctw'
mgtkdn in agricultural Countries,
The February report of the Unit
ed States Department of APricnl-
ture contains a report by Mr.. j. r.
Dodge, statistician, on the value Of
farms, farm products, &C., in the
several States.
Mr.. Dodge divides the States of
the Union into four groups. In
the first group, consisting OF Massa-
chusetts aud eight other States hav.
ing the NEST extensive manutactuy-
ing industries, the average value
of farm land is about S47 per acre,
and the average value of farm
products per man ~ Si6I per an.
mum.
In the second group, consisting
of Maine and seven other States
with less manufacturing establish.
ments than the first group, the val
ue of farm lands is about S34 per
acre, and the average value Of farm
products per man is 1891.
In the third group, consisting of
Wisconsin and four other Western
States with still less manufacturing
industries, the value of farm lands
is about 800 per acre, and the aver
age value of farm products per man
is S2Gl.
In the fourth group, consisting of
Virginia and eighteen other States
in all parts of the Union, with al
most no manufacturing industries.
the value of farm lands is only 80
per acre, and the average value OF
farm products per man is only Sl6l.
Mr.. Dodge divides the States into
four groups. In the first group,
composed of fifteen States, in
which manufacturing pursuits are
extensive and distributed, the
wages of farm labOrers average $50
per month and board ; in the third
group, composed of thirteen
States, in which nearly GO per cent.
of the workers are on the farm and
manufacturing industries rare, the
wages of farm laborers average
1880 per month, and in the fourth
group, composed of six States, des-
titute of manufacturing industries,
and with nearly 70 per cent. of
their workers on farms, the wages
OF farm labOrers average only 3d.
20 per month.
Wages of carpenters, masOns,
painters, and labOrers of every
kind are in similar proportion in
these several groups of States.
These facts show conclusively that
whatever encourages the establish.
ment and enlargement OF manu-
featuring industries in our country
increases the wages not only of the
mill operative, but also Of the
blacksmith, the mason, the car
penter, the painter, the teamster-
in short, of every man, woman, and
child who has labor to sell.-Hon.
Nelson Dngley, Jr., Of Me-, in the
House Of Representatives, April %,

LOCAL OPTION.

These are expressive words. A
few weeks ago the people of Win
chester voted on the question OF
whether liquor should be sold 10
that city under license granted
by the State of Virginia.
1t is becoming a serious question
tho more so from day to day
whether a State has 6 right to IL
eense a whiskey traffic. Certainly
public sentiment is taking shape
on the subject. That is evidenced
by the intelligent vote cast in Win
chester. There, mothers and sisters
seem to have felt that it was a
motherly, sisterly and Christian du'
~ to remove the saloon from where
it could tempt the son and the
brother.
A few years ago the extraordina'
rily honest men of this State con-
ceived the idea that there was a
moral obligation resting upon the
people to discharge certain
amount of Indebtedness.

believes that it is better to get a

to quarrel with them. He does not
favor schools for the Indian chill

Great Father knows that we cannot
earn our own living he will give us
ratiOns and blankets, but If he
thinks we know how to take care OF
ourselves we shall get nothing

principle, Red Cloud complained

Referring to the great development Of
wheat exports from India since 1879, the
Railway News says in 1919 the wheat ex-
ported from India was |, 0ii,0O0 hundred
weight, Of the value of s2,570,C0O, while
in lS32 the exports increased to 1888,
600 hundred weights, and their value to
SAB, 020, 400. In the current year this
quantity will probably be largely exceed
ed. It is significant fact, and one which
should not be lost sight Of in estimating
the value ofrailway enterprise in India,
that, concurrently with a scale of rates
regarded in some quarters as rnnous and
disastrous, the East Indian Railway is

Mr.. Manning is expected to re-
turn to the Treasury department
before long. He is said to have
decided not to give up without a
trial. lie will begin his work
gradually, and If it does not inter
fere with his health, will gradually
assume more of the responsible
ties of the department. At first
it is thought he will confne him
self to merely a general supervision
of the department, leaving most of
the work to the assistant secre-
taIies. He will attend the cabinet
meetings and give the admlnistra-
ton the benefit of his advice. 1t
is not believed that he has yet de-
cided just what he will do beyond
making the trial of his abilities to
resume his work. He is doubtful
of the result, as, also, are his
physicians.
A dispatch from Albany to the
New York Times says that Mr..
Manning intends to leave for
Washington on Thursday, so as to
be at the capital on October LIST.
He is still undecided as to whether
he will resume his position in the
Treasury department, and he will
not act finally until after he has
had another consultation with the
President. His family and init
mate friends, fearing that a resump-
ton of work will bring on another
attack, are urging him to resign
II is possible that he may consent
to remain in the cabinet until the
meeting of Congress, even if he
does not stay longer.
