Scientific Temperance legislation
has been adopted in 81 States, and
Lowry is the only Governor who ever
vetoed such bill. The whisky ring,
which is opposed to temperance and
everything else which reduces the
consumption of liquor, will applaud
him, but the good men and women
of the State will never cease to re-
gard with disapproval the man who
was guilty of such an arbitrary and
incxcusable act.

The Jackson Advertiser says the

of the true inwardness of the Farmers
Alliance and, speak it, softly, of the
interior substance of Democracy. Fol
Il man who is a total stranger to either
organization, the Advertiser man is
rather too dOgmatic. We advise him
to soak his head in about fifteen feet
of water.-GreRdda Gazette.

Speaking of the Hamilton case the
Yazoo Sentinel truly says: BE the
verdict what it may, it will not change
the sentiment in the State in regard
to Hamilton's guilt or innocence,
Those who believe him guilty will
still regard him a murderer, even il
he is acquitted, and those who think
him innocent will continue in that be-
lief, even if he were convicted"

An Impartial Investigation To be had.
WIrKEsBARHE, Pa, October 12-Now
that the excitement is over, the great
railroad disaster has begun TO abate. The
work of impartially investigating the
causes Of the catastrophe is being carried
out in earnest. An important statement
was made tonight by Engineer Harry

ner's Jury tomorrow. 1t was Cooks en-
CINE that crashed into the rear OF the sec

WASHINGTON, october 12.-The ques-
tion Of the final adjournment Of Congress
is still uppermOs' in most legislative
minds here, but nobody seems TO have
anv definite information on the subject,
and while members Of both Houses say
they are willing TO adjourn, nobody
seems willing 20 take the initiative. a
Republican Senate, however, is authority
for the statement that an adjournment
resolution will be introduced on Monday,
and that Congress will adjourn next
Wednesday.
ln the senate, after the transaction OF
some routine business, discussion OF the
Senate tariff bill was resumed. Senator
Call deplOred the doctrine on which the
Senate bill was bsscd The Republican
party. he said, had insisted that taxation
was a benefit and not an injury to the
people Of the country. This was fatal
mistake, a mistake which concerned the
rich as well "a the poor.
Mr. Hawley thought the Senate bill the
best draft Of a tariff bill ever submitted
% Congress. Nobody, however, believed
that it could be disposed OF at this ses-
sion. and the best thing Senators could
DO was to go home. lie, for one, was for

Tho Academy Last NIGHT.

Madame Janauschek appeared before
an excellent house at the Academy OF
Music last night in her character of Meg
Merrilies This is one Of the most diff
ficult characters known to the drama to
portray, and some idea Of its intensity
may be gathered from the fact that Char

ideal Meg Merrilies," was 80 devoted to
her art as to have all her teeth drawn, so
as to represent as realistically as possible
the honest and devoted old gypsy hsg.
Madam Janauschek has not gone 70
that ,xtent, but she well and faithfully
portrayed the character last evening
The death scene at the fall Of the curtain
was peculiarly impressive and called
forth enthusiastic plaudits from the au

Madam Janauschek is true artist, ant

gained. At the matinee to-day she ap

tions-A Drunken Postofice Empioy'
Arrested


Arrested.
BUFFALO, n. Y, october 12.-An ex-
tensive and bold mail robbery was per
petratcd during last night, by which
most Of the arriving mails In THIS city
from all points were plundered and pa
pers, documents and money extracted.
When the, employees of Fulton Market
arrived this morning to open the estab-
lishment they found strewn about the
street in the vicinity of the market a
large quantity Of letters that had evil
dently been opened and robbed. They
collected the torn letters, which half
filed a market basket
An examination revealed the fact that
the robbery had been general IN charac-
ter, and covered letters from Caneda
Pennsylyania, New York State, New
Orleans, Boston. and nearly every point
East, Wesi, North and South. There
were in the basket checks, drafts, mer-
camille orders, and the usual miscellany
which goes TO make up business mail.
Among other things were Louisiana lot
terry tickets. There was check found
for $3l9.90, which alone remained intact
bank drafts, letter notifying the enclo-
sure Ct draft for 81 ,46i "a the draft
being missing, and numerous letters noti-
flying the enclosure OF cash. The thieves
had evidently disregsrded everything but
cash, and checks and drafts were thrown
aside after being mutilated.
Soon after the banks opened man
named John Shields, night stamping
clerk in the postofiice, presented check
at one OF the banks, and upon the re-
quest 10 identify himself, establishing
his connection with the post Office, he
was promptly handed over to the police.
Shields did not attempt TO deny The
charge of robDiug the mail, ana is now
in custody lie was intoxicated when
captured.
The check which be presented to the
German American Bank, was payable to
Jacob Dold, and Shields had endorsed il
with his own name. The police have
not been able TO get any information
from Shields as yet, but they suspect
that he had accomplices, as no money
was found on him.

say that the Mills bill Just contains
enough protection to help the course in

Wise read extracts from Republican

his comments on which were greeted
with loud applause. He then showed
that not an industry.in the South Is with

which was followed by an eloquent and
graphic history Of the various tariffs and
their effects. The iniquitous trust sys.

A DISASTROUS BREAK.


CoRNwALL, ONT, October l2-Two
hundred feet of the Cornwall Canal
bank gave way early this morning. The
water rushed out in torrents, flooding the
adjoining country All traffic Is, OF
course, stopped, and will be for three or
four weeks The loss TO the carrying
trade will be very great, as the break
practically cuts off all inland navigation
by the 81. Lawrence route. Many ocean
vessels now awaiting grain will be de
layod. The break is ascribed to the
continuous wet weather by which the
masonry became undermined.
