quality of ministers wives who syn

Editor MaIonex Assaulted

Last week Wednesday morning,
while M. j. MalOney, editor of the
RichfOrd Gazette, was in the Central
Vermont railroad station waiting for
the 6 o'clock train going to RichfOrd,
he was attacked by Il. M. Tierney,
who struck him over the head with the
butt end of II heavy whip and then
threw him to the ground and proceed
ed to pound his face in most brutal
manner. There were many railroad
employees and others standing around,
but Tierney was allowed to punish
MalOney until he was satisfied, and he
left his victim in a very bad condition
MalOney was assisted upon the train
and was ahle to proceed to RichfOrd,
but is, it is understood, severely in
jured. The cause of the attack, as al
legged by Tierney and his friends, was
an article that was published in the
"GaZette" some weeks since casting
reflections upon the motives Of prom
inent family in sending flowers at the
time of the funeral of Tierney's broth
er. The article criticised them as pro-
fessed temperance people and church
members for sending flowers to deco
rate the bier of saloon keeper, who
was nothing to them unless i'm politics.
The reflection upon the deceased was
only incidental. The drift of the arti-
Gle was against the other party, whose
act had, to say the least, caused con-
siderable local remark.

Commissioner Carol ID. Wright of
the Bureau of Labor estimates tina t
seven and One-half per cent. of the
manufacturing establishments, mines,
etc, of the country were idle in 1885,
and that nearly if not quite 100000
men were out of employment. A mil
lion of men out of employment means
IA loss to the cOnsumptive power of the
countryof at least 81 100000 per day or
a gripping to the trade of the country
of over $300,0O0,00 per year. The
earnings of the people involved in the
classes named above would not be far
from 5000 each per annum, represent
ing total earnings of ,990,716,OOO.
