Street-Cars Attacked and Wrecked, aud
Many Drivers and Conductors Injured.
TORONTO, May 25.-This city was under mob
rule for three hours tonight Word was re-
ceived by the Knights of Labor that omnibusas
from Kingston for the use of the street-railroad
strikers would arrive here between and
o'clock tonight, and large crowd went to meet
them, accompanied by a brass band. On
their arrival the omnibuses were driven
clowly through the principal streets the crowd
gradually increasing in numbers until nearly
1000 persons were following the procession.
Every street-car met on the route was attacked
with bricks and stones. Passengers, drivers and
conductors were injured, and the widest uproar
was kept up the police being powerless to do
anything Between thirty and forty street-cars
were wrecked in that way, and are now lying In
the company's sheds. Such scene has seldom,
if ever been witnessed in Toronto. Fortunately
80 far as ascertained, no person was dangerously
injured. Had not the Knights of Labor broken
up the procession, much more serious results
would have followed.

The southern Presbvter;a,s.

AUGUSTA, Ga, May 25.-In the Presbyterian
General Assembly, to-day, Rev. Dr. B. M. Palm
er, of New Orleans, recited and reviewed the
causes which separated the Southern from the
Northern wing of the church. He said the
church had always prospered better when divid-
ed from the state. He asserted that the North
ern churches had undertaken to make deliver
ance upon political issue which had divided
this country, and had undertaken to settle the
question of the sovereignty Of this governments.
This related to the question OF slavery. The
Southern church made no deliverance upon
slavery, and maintained that 1t was beyond the
province of the Northern church to formulate
such an opinion The Northern church still adj
heres to that view, and the political issue in the
church is the same to-day as 1t was twenty Ave
years ago. He insisted that the inspired word OF
God must be accepted as final authority; that the
Bible is the base of the work, and that human
speculation. however ingenious, must not be Ia
iected into the sacred Scriptures
The discussion of evolution will be continued
to morrow. This is regarded as the leading pop
ular question before the Assembly, and excites
great interest The opinion strongly prevails
that the assembly will condemn DR.. Woodrows
teachings.

The latest from frankie Folsom, the sweet
girl who has been represented as busy buying
her trousseau in the beautiful city of Paris is
in the nature of a shock She is represented
as saying most emphatically that she does not
intend to marry the President. Now, this is
just too mean, after the way the press has
been fattering this ungrateful girl. If she
had the least spark of gratitude in her soul
she would marry the President now, whether
she had intended to or not. She can rest as
sured that if she does not the press will take
back all the sweet things it has been saying of
her during the past few weeks. If the mar
riage fails to take place, all these things will
be declared off. They were not meant if the
marriage is draw.

THE nDETTcTTvE.p

The detective business is not desirable one
for any young man to engage in involving as
it does, in every case, more or less of deceit
and trickery, and of friendly association with
criminals. Boys, however who gain their
knowledge of such matters from sensational
fiction do not realize the moral degradation
which must inevitably result from the prac-
tice of deception and treachery, even in what
may be termed good cause. They see only
the romantic and adventurous side of the life
of the thief-catcber and nothing is more
common than to hear lads who have had &C
cess to flash literature express the determine
ton to become detectives at the earliest oppor-
tunity. Such boys should read Of the meth
DDS pursued by detective in real life.-the
one who figures in the Preller murder case, at
esty and manliness, consider whether he
would enjoy pursuing such methods. The
st. Louis man, at the suggestion, and
with the assistance of his superior
officer, forged check, was detected
by the bank cashier, was arrested
and put in Jail, all according to programme.
Once there, he wormed himself into the con-
fidence of the supposed murderer Of Preller,
and, as he claims gained confession from
him which he has repeated in detail upon the
witness stand His testimony is perhaps
truth, though reasonable doubt may exist
as to whether man capable of adopting such
measures would confne himself to facts even
under oath; but justice would, doubtless have
been reached on the trial without such trick
cry. The witness, with all his GOODNESS and
experience sat shame faced and trembling
@nder the scathing denunciation of himself
and his methods by the opposing attorney.
The average boy, hearing this singing rebuke,
would probably conclude to abandon his pro-
ject of ferreting out rascals because it in
volved too many unpleasant features. The
detective may be a necessary element in the
economy of government, but he is not being
in whose footsteps aspiring youth should seek
to follow

THE idea of civil-service reform has had an
other illustration in the Louisville postoffce,
where John Hensleer, man who has steadily
risen from the ranks of the civil-service till he
has reached the position Of cashier in the Of
fee, at all times proving himself to be compe-
tent and trustworthy has been turned out to
make room for q man who has had no expert
ence in the postofice and who is an active
partisan. If there is anything honest in the
idea of civilservice reform, as it is to be prac-
ticed by the Democratic administration, it
would seem that it would be illustrated in a
case like this, especially when the man de-
posed has creditable record as a veteran in
the army of the Republic. Let the idea OBJ
tain that a faithful man cannot hold the Office
that he has so steadily and so honorably ap-
preached, but may at any time be driven out
to make room for partisan who has "helped
the party" and the whole scheme falls to
pieces and into merited contempt.

The honorable people of the country will
sympathize with Senator ingalls, in his just
denunciation of Pension Commissioner Black
who, while drawing 81, 200 a year by special
act of Congress, has done little else since he
assumed office than to use his power to pre-
vent other wounded soldiers from obtaining
the smallest dole General Black and Presi-
dent Cleveland seem to have joined forces in
preventing any soldiers from receiving pen
sion, unless it happens to suit this impostor to
grant it. The Judgment of Congress as to the
rights of soldiers is held to be of no value.

The work of women and children for the home

THE insincerity and dishonesty of the An
archists were shown in remarkably forcible
manner in New York city on Sunday after
noon. A meeting of number of law-abiding
Poles was being held to protest against the
Anarchist doctrines that are being preached
by some of their countrymen, when a number
of professional Anarchists broke in upon the
meeting, and would have dispersed it but for
the protection afforded by the police, who
drove off the intruders. Thus, while crying
for greater freedom, they are not willing that
any one else shall exercise the rights they
themselves demand They are in for the Pc
culiar kind of freedom" that insists that all
men shall be free to do as they please only as
long as they please to do as the Anarchists
want them to. Anarchy can be introduced
into this country as an institution just as soon
as the people choose to have it. There is alb
solutely nothing in the way but the people.
When they can be persuaded to adopt the
theories Of these blood-thirsty fellows then
viii anarchy obtain. Their war, then, is not
against the authorities, but against the people.

President Weihe Expects No Serious Trouble
Between the knights and the Unions.
PITTsBURG. Pa, May 25.-President Weihe and
Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron and Steel-workers returned from
Cleveland this morning. The purpose Of their
visit was to represent the Pittsburg district in
the meeting of the trades unions and the Knights
of Labor. President Wehc said the only thing
they did was TO present their grievances to the
knights of Labor committee. Said he: "There
is no conflict between the two organizations in
this district, except at Scottdale, Pa, where
number OF iron and steel-workers who had been
expelled from the Amalgamated Association
were taken in by the Knights of Labor. The
best of feeling prevailed between the representa-
tives of the two organizations, and no trouble is
expected All we asked was that no expelled or
suspended members of our order be admitted to
membership in the Knights of Labor. We do
not know what action will be taken, but we be-
lieve all differences will be amicably arranged"

1T is given out that the law passed against
betting on horse-racing in the State of New
York is likely to have the effect of destroying
that sport. In other words, then, horse racing
is not sport but simply the means of afford
ing sport. If there can be no betting there
can be no racing, for where is the fun in it ali
if the participants be not allowed to beta 1t
is thus made plain that the main object of
horse-racing is not to test the speed of horses
so much as to furnish the means of making
great gambling scheme. This has been shown
in the past in a different way whenever any
fast horse has passed under the control of men
like Vanderbilt, who withdrew them from the
race-track and refused to allow them to be
used for betting purposes. Every event OF
this kind has been most keenly deplored in
sporting circles. In fact, everything goes to
prove that the sport of horse-racing is not in
the racing but in the fact that it affords SPLEEN
did opportunity to gamble. Take away this
feature, and the 'lovers" of fast horses would
not care to cross the street to see the fastest
horse that ever few over track. There is a
great deal Of hypocrisy in this world; but in
no other place is it more prevalent than
among patrons of the turf who pretend a con-
Stunning love for fine animals and who would
not give dime to see a fast horse if it be
made condition that no gambling shall be
INDUCED in. 1t is exactly the same with the
use Of cards. Interdict their use for purposes
of gambling, and not one man in hundred
would think of INDUCING in a game. 1t
brings the noble animal to shamefully low
level to rate him thus, but this is the category
in which the patrons of the turf place him.
He is not among his friends when he is made
the means of winning money wagered on the
speed he can make.

Pittsburg iron manufacturers agree that pros
