ROCKY haOgJE.TAFN CELT: The LABOR
movements marches slowly along and
though it's speed has been thas of a
tortoise until a few years ago.. it's ac-
complishments have been wonderful.
As is often the case; the main idea
aimed at has been fought over and pro-
gress has besn made and lost, but the
side issues-the general, moral, and
intellectual advaneement-have never
turned back and never will. 1t seems
to one who has watched the course of
events for some years that through the
labor movement is eventually to come
the model democraey-the Utopia Of
all the people. The tendencies Of the
times point that way We ought1to be
satisfied. Press and public alike nov
look upon organized Labor not as q ne
cessary evil, but as means Of doing
good. They have seen labor organiza--
tions advance from the condition OF
.obscurity and demagoguism to that Of
intelligent conservative action. Along
with the movement came education; ): if
complete, will come success. The,
movement Of labor is UNIVERSAL. 1t
may be marshalled under different
Aags, but it is one gigantic struggle
that will bring equality to all and op-
portunities to- all, so that one man will
thrive as we'll as another.

THE FATE OF AN INFORMER.

Mr.. Charles Duval, the Irish actor
and Journalist, who is On visit to
South Africa, describes in letter re-
ce1ved in london visit he paid to the
dismal grave Of Informer Carey:
sit will be remembered that the
Coroner's inquest was held on the in.
form er's body at Port Elizabeth. and a
verdict Of murder was returned against
the avenger, O'Donnell. But it was
evident that not man in the town
mourned over the informer's fate. The
body was hurriedly inferred in an unin-
closed graveyard on hillside near the
town. Up to that time only colored
people and white criminals, who had
died in Jail, had been buried there.
The miserable, desolate spot was, in
truth, well 6tted to receive the remains
Of man who, himself the worst Of
criminals, had lured others to crime and
death, and thenshimself met with vio-
lent end.
z 'sCarey's grave adjoins that Of a name
less Kaftfr criminal, and it should have
been itself nameless. 1t was meant to
be SO, and would be but for the persist
emit labor of some unknown hater, who,
on plain white stone at the head, has
written in pencil the inscription:
J. Carey, the Irish informer.
Whenever time or the weather OBJ
literates his work, the unknown surely
returns and carefully rewrites the in
scriptlon. Many months ago another
and more charitable, but also unknown,
hand placed on the grave some bands of
fluted iron, SO arranged as to form a
rude. cross. Over and over again the
cross has been dismemb ered and thrown
about the graveyard. but the pieces are
always collected by the unknown,
mysterious hands and placed on the
grave, fashioned into some semblance
of the emblem of salvation"

BosToN RTLor:: The Unsuitable avar-
ice of Queen Victoria may haye IN
pleasant consequences for her daughter,
the widow of the late Emperor Freder--
lex Of Germany. When the old En-
peror Wilhelm lay dying, the Queen Of
England managed to torture his last
moments by extracting from him a
promise that her daughter should re-
ceive handsome allowance in ease of
his death. According to the German
papers, it now transpires that the Eng
lish doetef, Sir Morell Mackenzie, con-
cealed the fact of Frederick's having an
incurable cancer, not SO much in order
to spare the victims FEELINGS as to Sc
cure for his widow the rank and per-
quisitesi of a dowager empress after his
deeease. Any doctor would be justi-
fed in withholding from a patient the
knowledge Of his painful fate until it
was necessary to declare it, but Mac
skenzie is accused Of having kept itse-
cret solely for the pecuniary and social
interests of the patients wife. That
Frederick should be Emperor, and she
Empress, meant so much Of precedence,
80 many dollars year, for the latter,
and to achieve these results the malady
Of the dying man was concealed. Queen
Victoria is SO pleased with the success
OF the stratagem that she wants Mac

The Oromwellian Harrison.

Boston Republic. ..
Although The Republic does not be-
lieve that man should be Judged by
his ancestry be that good or bad, out
measured, rather, by his own actions
and merits, inasmuch as Brevet Briga-
dier General Harrison brides himself or
his pedigree, pointing to the fact that
his grandfather was once elected to the
Office he now aspires to himself, and
instancing the circumstance that
another Of his ancestors was an officer
under Cromwell, it may not be irrele.
want to say something about the latter
individual, though some what eX--
tended search does not bring to light
much information concerning him.
That there was Colonel Harrison in
CromweN's army is fact that admits
Of no dispute. and, so high an opinion
did old Noll have of this particular
colonel OF his, that he gave him one OF
his own sons to be a captain in his regi-
ment. Colonel Harrison does not seem
to have been the best Of disciplinarians,
though, and it is on record that his SOL
diers, in great numbers. took part In
the mutlny that showed itself in Crom-
WELLS array shortly before it's departure
for ireland Colonel Harrison accom-
panied Cromwell to Ireland, and on the
day Of his departure, he. in company
with another officer named Golf, EEK
pounded the scripture oxcellently we'll
and pertinent to the purpose so tho
record runs. What part this Colo
mel Harrison played in the murder
GUS warfare Cromwell waged in Ire
land; whether he was engaged in the
storming Of Barney Castle, whether he
was active in the 1nassaeres of Wexford
and Drogheda, and whether he applied
the rack, the pitehcap and other nipple
ments of torture to his unfortunate
Irish prisoners are matters of which
we have found ne mention, but it is
reasonable to- believe that such a loyal
adherezlt and staunch friend of Old
Noll as Col. Harrison seems to have
been was not backward In supporting
his commander or slow to use the
methods he saw Cromwell himself en-
ploy. The fact that he was an ex-
FOUNDER Of the scriptures, according to
the Cromwellian idea, and a famous ex-
FOUNDER, GOO, asis shown by his being
called upon to address the army on the
day Of its departure for Ireland, indi-
Gates that this ancestor OF Brevet Briga-
der General Harrison was a fellow af-
ter Cromwell's own black heart, and
justiGes the suspicion that he took part
in all the bloody massacres perpetrated
in Ireland something over 200 years
ago, when, after depo pulating the land
Cromwell told the surviving Irish peo-
pie to go to t%nen OF Connaught."
And that being q rational view of the
case we would not advise Brevet Briga-
der General Harrison to make much
display Of this Cromwellian ancestor of
his. In fact. it would have been better
for tho general if no mention of this
psalm singing and scripture expound-
ing colonel had been made this year.

A New YORK scientist thinks that the

one, something after the character OF the
suggestion Of WESTON, the electrician
He suggests the use of nitrate OF amyl,
which possesses the power Of causing in
sensibility very quickly to q human being
breathing its fumes. An exchange says on
the subject: SIT is cheap and plentiful,
and could be used instead Of gunpowder.
A few gallons Of this nitrate dashed on the
deck of a war ship would soon render her
crew helpless. The most powerful iron
elads would be even more vulnerable than
the light cruisers, for they would be suck
ing down great draughts OF air through
their artificial ventilators, and the odOr
would thus rapidly permeate the whole
ship. The whole crew being rendered
helpless for On hour or two, the ship could
of course, be toTed into safe spot, while
the eaptors ventilated her and removed the
insensible men,
