THE OLD AND THE NEW.

LAST Nee ting of the Retiaing British Min
istry - Gossip Concerning the New One
The Appointments as Officially An
nounced.
LONDON, July 29.-The meeting of the
cabinet yesterday was more apathetic
than las: meetings usually are, since the
Government was already practically out
of office, important documents in all de-
partmeuts of state being submitted to the
Conservative leaders. There was moth
ing to do yesterday except to draw up the
dnal list of honors to be bestowed upon
the retiring ministry. The Tory appoint
ments so far show that although Churchill
has scored triumph in his own appoint
ment, as usual he has not succeede d
this time in squeezing out the old. Iddles-
leigh rs Foreign Secretary is the weakes t
appointment. He was one of the strong
est m embers of the Government which
negotiated the Berlin treaty, and more
iatelJ has been equally urgent in setting
it aside by supporting Bulgarian unity.
He will probably, however, be puppet

Secretaryship, rs anticipated, will prob

Strawberries from Florida come in
ice-boxes with capacity of twenty
eight quarts The ice-chamber is in the
center of the top, and the cold air from
it passes down through a slit, then
through small apertures into the two
fruit chambers, one on each side.
Through these tho cold air runs mp
among the strawberries. carrying with
it whatever impurities may be in them
up to the ice, which absorbs more or
less, keeping the atmosphere purer.
These iee-boxes are in freight cars, and
icing is done every twelve hours. 1t
costs about eighteen cents quart to
transport them thus Chicago Times.

There are in this country two conSpic-

selfish, INSCRIPTIONS, and dishonest t
VIGOROUSLY crooked i'll both public and

James G. Blaine is the bigger scoundrel
depends upon the opportunities each may
happen to enjoy.
John Sherman is one of the most un-
scrupulous scoundrels and at the same
time one of the most skillful leaders in
the country.
very bigoted man, a very bitter man,
a very bad man is John Sherman. There
was never a more thoroughly Getestable
and selfish scoundrel.

John Sherman is the biggest thief,

Unfortunately for the peace of the

to be possessed of a slang wanger by the

And yet the man who promulgates
such BillingSgate was rewarded by the

it that the Senate refuses to confirm
such a character Truly this is an ele-

A BAD BUTTON.

Our readers remember the emphatic
language in which Senator ingalls, re-
Gently denounced Postmaster General
Villas famoas-or rather Infamous
"oIlensive partnership" circular. He
characterized it as the most thoroughly
degraded, detiled, execrable and detes-
table public utterance ever made by
any official. 1t was an invitation TO
every libeller, every anonymous SIAN
derer and scurilous defamer to pour
sewage into the Postoftice Department
Under this offensive partlzan' dodge
the postmaster at Lynchburg, Virginia,
was suspended last May, and the editor
OF local Democratic paper appointed
to succeed him. This gentleman, bear
ing the euphonious name of Button, is
HOW having trouble in the Senate over
his confirmation. He was not only the
editor OF the Lynchburg Wsiuia0,
but ne was a member of the Democratic
Executive Committee and an active
politician. From the time he was APP
pointed until the date of his retirement
from the paper, IN November, he made
the columns of that journal very inter
csting reading for the Republican Sen,
atOrs, and many extracts from his paper
were presented to the Senate commit
tee. The men at whom his shafts were
mostly directed were Gen. Logan, Sen
ator Sherman, Senator Conger, and
Senator lIoar. The following are few
sentences from large mass of printed
matter presented to the Senate:
Black Jack Logan is going around en-
hibiting himself as an ignorant mutton
head and mountebank.
Black lack Logan cones along splrt
tering his bad grammer in dirty diatribes
against the South, and lIoar pronouaces
the Illinois ourang ontsng superior be
ing.
lIoar places the semi-civiIized Logan
ranting with bloody shirt politics in out
landish English upon a higher pedestal
than the polished Lowell!
Logan is an INSCRIPTIONS crank Logan
took up the demagogical life in his Bos
ton harangue and split the sides OF his
Goldfish hearers by his miserable gram
mar and ludicrous so.ecisn.s
John sherman is a fiji class fraud, !.
miserable m9untebank, and an impudent
scounGrel. Take the Repr blicau party
through and there is not such detesta
ble creature in it as this man Sherman.
He is everywhere dishonest. He entered
public life penniless, and 10y manipulat
ing Government contracts and public
he has made millions. John
Sherman is an uucllariiable dog, who re-
turns to his yomit as a swine returns to
her waIlowing in the mire A dirtier:

THE PROHIBITION VICTOR
IN RHODE ISLAND.

In spite OF every argument that
could lie advanced in defence of IL
cense, and which in that State had
failed to do what was claimed for it.
With the Attorney-General's Office run
in the interest Of the liquor men, who
confident of victory, pushed themselves
to the front in the contest, even buy
ing the registration for poor voters,
prohibition has triumphed in Rhode
Island Triumphed too by a three
fifth vote instead of majority vote,
as required there for the adoption of
an amendment to the State constitu-
ton Commenting on this result one
of the prominent journals of that State
thinks that the Legislature-elect is one
which will undoubtedly pass the laws
necessary to carry out the Constitu-
tional amendment, and if the city and
State authorities can be relied upon to
enforce the statute, Rhode Island will
by the middle of the summer be in a
fair way to test the new system thor
oughly. The extent of the prohibition
feeling in the State has surprised even
the most active campaigners on that
side. Two weeks before the election
none of them expected that the amend,
ment would carry. The temperance
sentiment of the State is much more
extensive and decided than was be-
lieved. Unhampered by considera
tons OF party politics it could make it
self felt freely and fully, and it has
done so with the results Indicated.
Such triumph in the face Of heavy
odds, and after campaign which it
was feared was too short to be etIec-
tive, indicates preexisting conviction
on the part of 4 much larger body of
voters than was counted upon, and a
strength of determination showing
s.rong feeling OH the question.
1t would be well for the advocates
Of license in Cecil county to make a
note of this case.

BOYOOTTING W0RKINGMEN
The Strike Not Against Capital But Asains
Unemployed and Suffering Labor.


TIE strikers are struggling ostensibly
for the rights OF workingmen; and If a
Sufficient number of this class are will

on a strike the only members of the fla

leave the looms, or the forges, or the
turning lathes, or the fronts, silent and
deserted, may not other workinsmen
with equal rights come in to fill the va
cancy and restore the old activity Are
the wives and children of men who have
been long unemployed and who jump at
this opportunity to earn a livelihood any
less emitted to bread than the families of
the strikers, who have been the theme Of
so much eloquence
What DO we see on every side? The
most iutolerah!e tyranny over his fellows
prtctiscd by the veIy men who claim to
be the Amounted apostles of freedom.
For, let all marx it ! violence is not d.
rected against the employer. If there
were no idle wOrkmen ANXIOUS for ser
vice there would be aG need of q bowling
mob armed with clubs aud paving stones
to keep the deserted works in the idle
ness to which they have been devoted.
The employer cannot start his works
without the laborcrs, and il mob is
needed to stop the enterprise, the VIC
lence is not against the capitalist but
against the workmen who are seeking
the service. If We 1oncede the right of
the men to combine and ieayl the looms.
