loading with sand, when special train,
which he was not expecting, hove in sight.
Seeing the danger he whipped up his

the engine struck the rear end, tearing it
away and hurting the driver to the ground.
Luckily he was thrown under the cars and
escaped with hut few bruises. No one
seemed to be 10 blame.

Is a chance for the shrewd unprincipled
aVitator or demagOgue to 50 work upon
their passions as to make them a very dam
rerous element in the South A conflict
might in this way be brought on thatwould
mean banishment or determination for the
weaker race. This is the ominous view
some are taking.
But notwithstanding the conflict that IS
going on between employer and emPioye
at the present time, there is as little to fear
from the eOlored people as from others
They are as a rule peaceable, and not
hard to satisfy in the question Of wages
Then. the prejudice between the TWO
races is dying out. The colored people
are rapidly advancing in the accumulation
of property, in education, and IN tne
l,nowledce of their duties as citizens.
Then. too. while many of them are settled
in towns, astill greater number are scat
tered throughout the country on planta-
tons or upon little farms of their own, and
out of the reach of any considerable in
fiuenee from the agitators that infest some
of the large cities.
All these things make it highly imprOb-
able that there is any more danger from
demagogues and professional agitators
among the eOlored people than among the
whites employed in the towns and cities
of the North and West and East.

TREATING RICH AND POOR LAW
BREAKERS ALIKE.

ROSCOE CoNKLISG, as attorney for the
Bankers and Merchants Telegraph Com
pany in the suit in a New York Court for
g, 600, 900 damages against the Western
Union for cutting their wires, gives utter
anee the to following striking sentences:
The $50, OOO, 900 capital welded by the
defendants is used with the same brutality
with which a highwayman uses blud-
geon. Suppose some starving wOrkingman
unable 10 maintain himself or his family,
had done this act; suppose it had been
done by an Anarchist, OF a striker; suppose
Herr Most, or Powderly, had done this. Is
q railroad track any more sacred than q
Telegraph wire2 Is it worse to tear up a
missouri railroad track, where no paSsen-
ger trains are moving, than
to break down one telegraph wire? Does
American law hunt starving workmen and
strikers, and stand abashed in the presence
Of law-breakers too great to be punished?
As the grave is the destiny of all lives, so
the Western Union Telegraph Company is
the tomb, the destiny of all rival telegraph
companies. The Western Union Telegraph
Company isamammOth devil fish, that is to
continue to fatten on unchecked exactiOns
OF exorbitant rates, and then divide them
rs dividends on watered stock.
Mr.. Gould knew every one Of the facts
that make malice and oppression and
wrong-doing stare out of the face Of this
Transaction. The same is true of NOryil
Green, Russell Sage and all this coterie OF
railroad magnates, This transaction stands
absolutely BY itself among the audacities
Of Wall street, the audacities of wrecking
corporations, and the record of domineer-
ing by the aid Of irresistible capital. 1t
stands alone in its audaciOus defiance Of
law, and of public and private morals, and
in the shifting, weighing attempts made
TO escape responsibility.
While Mr.. CoNKLING has made the de-
PENDANTS appear in the worst possible light
in order to help the e,luse Of his clients,
the case in Court is Que that is worth more
than passing thought at this time when
Anarchists, bOmb-thrOwers, boycotters,
train-wreckers and others are being so
summarily dealt with. Cutting the wires
Of the Brokers and Merchants Company is
the same species of lawlessneSs practieed
by the switehmen on the Lake Shore rail-
road who stopped traffic by tearing up the
company's tracks and killing their en-
gines. Where the crimes are equal the
punishment should be equal A Jail and
. prison for one should mean a Jail and
prison for the other. The question of
wealth should have nothing to do in the
dispensatiOn of justice.

THE LovE OF sPoRTsINCREAsIN

Ink LOW Ot SHOhAS ASNNAe
The Americans have always been noted
for being busy, restless, rushing people,
scarcely taking time to breathe in their
reckless scramble after wealth. So much
has the mercantile spirit seized the people,
that men in their haste to possess riches
and power. crowd lifetime into n few
years and quit the field before they reach
the DAYS in which man should be in his
prime.
But in the past few years it is noticed
that in our older States, people are dis
posed to take the world easier, rest more,
and enjoy themselves more. glance
at the news columns Of almost
any daily or Sunday paper
will show this. Men and women, instead
of necessarily working from year to year,
are disposed more and more to HE away
during the hot summer months to the
mountains, to the sea coast, or to some
heaIthful summer resort And, then, to
tldnk of the excursions that are leaving
!. aIt9Ost every city nearly every day. Where
l2sons cannot rest for two or three months
, they are making the most out of a vacation
of a week or two Besides these means Of
rest, it is something remarkable to see the
increasing love for sports all over the
country. There is scarcely town IN
the land where the people will
not stop in the work of money getting
to enjoy taking part in or witnessing
game of base ball, rowing match or
yacht race. Boating, fishing pienicing,
cricket, lawn, tennis, erOquet, cyelingand
various other sports too numerous to men
tiOn, are all the time coming more widely
into use to add pleasure and recreation to
old and young.
1t has not been many years since all
these pleasures and amuSements were gen
orally regarded as only a waste Of time and
money. The question was how to put in
the most hours at work and pile up
the most dollars in q given time. But the
tendency now is to look more at what can
be accomplished in a lifetime, to enjoy life
more and live longer, instead of crowding
lifetime into few restless busy years.

Quite q stir in real estate circles in East
Washington has been created by the deciS-
ion of the Jury selected to condemn prop
erty on the site of the proposed Congress
sional library. Every man who owned
property in the two blocks to be covered by
this magnificent and expensive building is
dissatisfied with the price set upon it by the
jury. A mass meeting was held few
nights since to formulate program upon
which to proceed to have their appraise-
ments reOpened with hope of securing
higher prices. The chairman of the meet
ing, to get an expression from those present,
asked that every man who was satisfied
with the appraiSement should rise and be
counted. The whole mass of men kept
their seats. Then he asked that those who
were dissatisfied should stand up. Not q
man was left sitting down.
About fifteen years ago the agitation Of
the subject of constructing Congressional
library was begun. Real estate spectators,
knowing that the library was primarily fol
the use of the men about the Capitol, knew
that it would be erected very near that
building and straightway settled upon the
locality which was finally chosen a few
months ago. Carefully and Systematically
they began buying up that property. A
good portion of it was taken in at very low
prices. Real estate throughout Washing.
ton began to appreciate in value from natu.
raj circumstances, and there was a heavy
rise in the price of this property. AS the
agitation for the construction Of library
increased in volume it became more and
more definitely understood that the two
blocks Immediately east of the Capitol,
and in which so much speculation had oc-
CURED, would be selected About two
years ago the property which was not al
ready in the hands of the SPEC
ulators and which was located
in these blocks was pobbled
up. Not single piece Of that property
condemned by the jury Is appraised at les

HOW Is THIS, "HONEsT JOHNyg

l am one of the original anti
Mormons of Idaho. | am
anti Mormon Oh principle. - Hon.
John HALEY in an interview with the
TIMES reporter, Sept. 18th, 1886.
On February 9th, 1881, Governor
j. B. Neil sent a special message to
the Idaho Legislative Assembly which
concluded as follows:
"But, gentlemen of the Legislative
Assembly, it is not my purpose to urge
the adoption of measures for the sup
preston of the Mormon church. All
that now desire is that this sect be
made to obey the laws. and that they
shall not be permitted to preach or
practice crimes, nor preach or teach
doctrines of hostility to the United
States.
81 renew the suggestions heretofore
made, namely, that the aid of Congress
be invoked, and such needed amend
ments be made to the laws of the Ter
ritory as will secure the end sought.
81 have endeavored to clearly point
out the situation to you, candidly and
and fairly, setting down naught In
malice. 1t is for you to determine
just what measures are necessary to
eradicate the evils disclosed"
On the same day the foregoing
message came up in the Council, of
which Hon. John Haley was "Mr.
President" and motion to lay it on
the table was made before it was even
spread upon tue records. Upon the
motion the vote was:
Ayes-Messrs. Anderson, Bulge,
Cobb. Dilley, Johnson, Murray, Peck,
Poe and Mr.. President-9.
Nays-Messrs. Cowan, Morrison
and Wilmot-3.
So the message was ordered laid
upon the table.

ciple /! The "Original' in Idaho
How the deuce came you in that
company? Mighty thin, John, al
mighty thin! In fact, the TIMES
thinks your "anti-lsm" is gauzy. We
are sorry for you, but we cannot cry
