Cheap Contract Labor from Canada.
oATIyo 0o0QTTE1 II DKTnorT.
The Ford investigating committee resumed
it, work In Detroit yesterday, and the first
witness 10 be examined was Collector Of Gus
toms Ward, Of Port Huron, who testified thss
1t had always been customary for Canadian
laborers on the Grand Trunk railway to cross
to Fort Gratiot 10 work The practice had re-
Gently been stopped, excepting an occasional
individual violation Of the Law.
Customs Inspectors Day and Penny testified
that about o thousand lumbermen crossed
every autumn and returned in the spring.
They knew Of case where contracts had been
made for Canadians to work on this side.
VIM. Abrams, leading knight Of Labor,
stated that efforts were made to stop the Cana
dams coming to work in Detroit, which was
only partly successful, and resulted In making
great numbers Of Canadians take up their resi-
dence here. Alien labor causes many citizens
to be thrown out Of work. II had reduced the
wages of carpenters 50 to 70 cents q day. The
other trades ere similarly affected. He knew
Of extensive manufacturing establishments
advertising in Canadian newspapers for work
men.
Sigmund Simon, president Of the poor COM
mission, testified that the arrivals Of foreign
paupers was increasing, and they were sent
here by the Canadian and European officials.
More than half the inmates of the poorhouse
are foreigners. This concludes the investiga-
ton, with the possible exception Of few wit
nesses in New York.

Tired Of Cabinet Making.

A sad-eyed, dejected-looking man sat on a

OF the state. A drummer from St. Paul. having

The Word ssDamn' Defended.

from the LONDON truth.
Mrs. Sarah Austin tells us In her recently
published memoirs" that she was greatly ex-
ercised as to whether she was justified in re-
tanning the word "damn" in the recital of q
story of Lord Jeffry and Mr.. Sydney Smith.
Lord Lyttelton and others protested, it would
seem, against it, and Lady Holland suggested
the substitution Of the word chang" Now,
why? To 'damn" is to condemn; to be
damned" is to be condemned, while to hang
Is to execute condemnation, and to be
.hanged'is to die in consequence of con-
domination. What then, can be the difference
whether Lord Jeffry ''damned" the north
pole, whether he expressed a wish that this
meteorological point should be hanged9
1t Is held that to desire that the north POLE or
chair or horse or q wife or anything or any
one else should be damned, is to swear,
whereas to express the desire that
thing or person should be hanged
Is not. AS matter of fact. the use
OF neither OF these expressions involves swear
ing. They are mere foolish utterances by
which the persons using them wishes to convey
the notion that he is displeased with the thing
or the person against which either is leveled.
Damn" may be coarse and vulgar, for verbal
coarseness or vulgarity is conventional am
not quite sure, however, that the expression of
wish that the north pole may be condemned
Is not good deal more reasonable than that il
should be hanged Be this, however, as it may,
l entirely deny that damning is swearing

Kansas an Eastern State.

rrOm tne new 1Ork sun.
1t is to be presumed that all the school boys
and school girls Of the present day are familiar
with fact which many Of the grown people
who studied American geography twenty or
more years ago may not be aware of. The fact
was mentioned by ex-Gov. Hoadly, Of Ohio, al
the New England dinner on Forefather's day
in this city. He said he had thought he knew
something about the west until two years ago,
when, sitting on top of a California stage
coach, the driver put this question to him:
MAY ask where We be from, stranger?'
"Im from New York
That's amusin', stranger. I'm an eastern
man myself, born an raised in Kansas!
uaughter.l
"'The stage driver said ex-Gov Hosdly,
started me to thinking; and it was not long be.
fore knew that Topeka is 400 miles east OF
the geographical center Of the United States.
Ex-Gov. Hoadly then described his visit to
Alaska in the far west.
After giving a moment of thought to this
dialogue, those of our readers who have not
studied geography at school for the past twenty
years had better look at any recent map Of the
United States on which our Alaskan posses
sions appear. They will see that the California
stage driver of Kansas birth was not in the
wrong when he spoke Of himself as an eastern
man!

A War Ship Sent For a Trunk.

From the London Truth
When the duke and duchess Of Edin-
burgh went recently to Greece it was discov-
cred, on arriving at Athens, that a trunk con-
tanning certain indispensable articles of attire
belonging to the duchess had been left behind
at Malta. telegram ordering the said trunk
to be sent by the next days steamer. would
have been the cheapest and readiest way of
obtaining it; but the duke Of Edinburgh act
ually dispatched one of the vessels of his
squadron all the way to Malta to bring bac
the trunk and its contents, thereby saving him.
self about q sovereign for kilograms and carriage
by steamer. This trip of her majestys ship
must have involved a cost to the taxpayer of some
hundreds Of pounds. The Transaction is alto

fered wantonly to waste large sum Of money

The body Of man, about thirty-Ave Of age,

two boys in big wster-pipe in East Paramount

body we're done up in bundle together. The
legs were in another bundle. The head was
badly crushed The man had evidently not
been murdered more than twenty-four hours.
On the trunk were three shirts, the outer one
being made Of dark flannel. A leather strap
was around the waist. The arms were not
severed from the body, but were tied in front
at the wrists with stout cord. Near the bun

How q Letter was Proved Genuine.

From the Macon (Ga) Telegraph.
In the United States court what has proved
to be a most interesting case was brought to an
end yesterday morning. It was the case Of
man named McCloskey, who was arrested about
two years ago on warrants from the state and
United States courts on the charge of violating
the internal revenue laws. Mr.. Jake Menko
stood his bond of $500 for trial. and McCloskey
shortly disappeared. Search was made for him.
and finally, at the last term Of court. Menko
produced letter said to have been written by
McCloskey to his wife in this city, and later on
certificates to show that the man had died at
county hospital at San Fernando, Cal. The
case was continued. however, and was again
brought up Monday morning. The letter was
shown to the court 1t was signed Wv. B. HILL"
and the certificate described Hill saving he
died, &C., and fitted McCloskey exactly. In
order to make sure of the evidence the letter
purporting to have been signed by McCloskey
was turned over to DR.. L. b. Clifton, the
chemist for examination. The date and
address had been blotted out with another
kind Of ink, and it could not be discovered by
the natural eye where it came from nor where
it was written. By "a series of chemical tests
MIR. Clifton caused one ink to turn a deep
purple and the other a carmine, and the name
San Fernando, Cal stood out in plain letters.
When court opened yesterday morning the
chemist produced the letter and showed to his
honor Judge Speer that the original address
was San Fernando, whereupon Menko was
released upon his bond.

Boulanger's Son-in-Law.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily News
Gen. Boulanger's son-in-law, Capt. Driant,
in order to provide for the expenses Of his we'd
ding and to create o home for himself, last
summer wrote rather q sensational military
work, which was published early this winter.
1t is in the style of Jules Verne and has for its
title 1.-THE Future War" In some respects it is
as palpably work of imagination as was 'The
Battle of Dorking." In reading it, though one
asks oneself whether one is in the realm of
fact or fancy, one feels that the book is clearly
the work Of q military scientist well versed
in his subject. His object has been to show
what a ''hot reception" the next army
trying to invade France might expect,
and what science is doing in order to
blow it to pieces, and, finally, to make
war impossible. 1t is thought at the war-ofice
that military man in active service with Capt.
Driants exceptional opportunities of knowing
the work OF the defense committees should not
have brought out q work in which he cannot
help betraying much that he ought to have
kept secret. Besides, there is a rule against
officers writing to or for the press, and M. de
Freycinet holds that inasmuoh as the book in
question was sent to the newspapers to be re-
viewed, it might be regarded as coming within
this rule, and that therefore the captain had
been guilty of disobedience. He has ordered
him to remain for month a prisoner in his
room. He will be able to see his wife, his serv-
ant. and the sentinel who guards his door, but
nobody else. This is a sharp trial, coming SO
soon after the brilliant wedding and before the
completion Of the honeymoon.
