THK suspicion is reasonable that the
industrial riots In France are instigated
by political schemers and are of a part
with the Boulanger agitation. The great
middle class in France Is moderately
satisfied with the Republic, as it would be
with any orderly government, but the Re-
public has failed to satisfy the expecta'
tions of the lower classes and has equally
failed to command the confidence of the
upper classes so-called. The French hav-
ing been so long educated to that idea of
centralized power which some Americans
are trying to introduce here, look to the
government to redress every wrong and
cure every i'll; aud when the government
fails, as it must, to do this, the result is d
riot or a revolution.

How Dealers in Beer Get Rich,

A small boy living at East Buffalo is
getting rich, and he isn't working very
hard either. Consequently he is an OBJ
ject of envy to all VINO know him or have
keard Of his good fortune. That is quite
natural, for if there is one thing more
than another that people in this world
are after, it Is money and plenty Of il,
without work. This youth makes his
money carrying beer for the men in one
of the big shops at East Buffalo. Whether
he works there himself Or not the Ex
pressionist doesn't know, but out of his
beer carrying business last month ne
managed to make SIS, and now he wears
silver watch. He gets a commission in
this way: Beer out there costs four cent?
a pint. The men give him pail an
five cents for pint of beer, the exti
penny is his pay. That boy carried 1,50v
pints in those thirty days, $50 uarts,
1861 gallons, etc. The man who is in
terested in figures can go on and esti
mate the number of pounds the boy car
ried, how much shoe leather he wore out,
how many glasses of beer were drank in
this shop, how much time was lost IN
drinking it. and infinitum.

GEN. SHERIDAN's AUToBIoGRAPHY-It is
interesting to know that Gen. SherIdan's
last days, like Gen. Grants, were occu-
pied upon his own memoirs, which
Grants publishers, Charles l.. Webster &
Co, are to issue directly. Two days be-
fore. his death he spent hours upon his
couch of pain, correcting proof sheets,
and another batch, the last of the book,
was sent on Saturday from the publisher.
The first volume is printed and Is now In
the hands of the book-binder. and the
second will soon follow it. Gen. Sheridan
has saved little, if anything from his
salary, and was anxioes to get this book
ont, that it might furnish support to his
family. He las written real autobio-
graphy, not military history, and given
lively descriptions of his personal ad-
ventures, covering with especial detail
his early service as an Indian fighter and
peace maker, on the PLAINS, of which
little has ever been told.

Cuban Bandits.

Senior Lauzan is living proof that
des pite Marin's martial Law and Capde-
pon's new bombastically worded measures,
brigandage still thrives in Cuba. His
cousin having paid the ransom demanded,
Lauzan returned on Thursday to his fam
lily, sick, bleeding and half famished.
The news of Senior Lauzan's capture by
the bandits ten days aeo greatly surprised
the town, for it was known that for a long
time past Lguzan had never ventured out
of his house, as the sad experience of his
townsmen, Sexors Nicolas Rodriguez
Pena, Gonzalez Aguiar and D. Valentine
Cruz, while IN the power of the bandits,
had determined him not to expose him
self to their clutches. TO his family and
to the friends who gathered to greet him
on his return, he recounted the details of
his kidnapping and captivity.

THE IRISH DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT.
The Tories have changed front entirely

on their measure for an inquiry by
commission into the charges brought by
the London Times against Mr.. Parnell.
There could be only one reason for
| of the letters imputed to Parnell. AS
the bill is now explained by the govern
ment the three judges composing the
| commission are not required to take up
the authenticity of the letters as sub
jecG of investlg alton, but, if they choose
can devote all their energies to fishing
after testimony to injure the Irish
leaders and the Irish cause. The new
Court, in fact, is to be only smelling
committee to hunt after arguments to
keep the Tories in power. There is no
reason to doubt that the bill was framed
TO meet the views of the Times as we'll as
suit the purposes of the Tories. Unfor-
tunately for them it has proved a BOOM
erang. The first man to be seriously
hurt by 1t is Mr.. Chamberlain. Fault is
found with Mr.. Parnell for stripping the
mask from that once pretended friend of
ireland. Chamberlain's recent course
marks him as a mau entitled to no
leniency. Not even Balfour has proved
himself more relentless foe of the Irish
people. To claim that his political
actions shall he kept inviolable while he
is seeking to make close scrutiny into
the political actions of others is to claim
too much. He deserved exposure at Mr..
Parnells hands, and he is not likely to
receive any genuine sympathy either
from friend Or foe. And he was not the
only one to suffer from the returning
boomerang. Mr.. Smiths denial still left
him open to the imputation of consulting
Mr.. Walter, of the Times, in framing the
bill, and so the commission for which it
provides and the procedure under it are
discredited in advance. If the letters
i'm puted to Parnell were genuine there
would have been no commission. This
bill as it stands is simply measure to
save the Times by an inquiry into crime
in Ireland during the last nine years,
which the Times and the Tories will call
Parnellism.

THIS campaign is certainly developing
the independence of the press. What
with the free t1ade papers that are sup
porting Harrison and the Republican
papers that are against the Chicago
platform and the protection papers that
are for Cleveland and the other papers
that are not quite sure who they are for,
there is degree of freedom of opinion

" PRoF. HADLEY of Yale believes that
America holds the record for the fastest
railroad time. The trip of the West
Coast flyer over the 400 miles between
Edinburg and London averaged $50
miles to the hour. The professor has the
record of a trip on the West Shore rail
road between East Buffalo and Weehaw
ken, also 400 miles, when the average was
81 miles an hour, and during part of
the trip the train attained tie remarkable
speed of S3 miles an hour. The Ameri-

cording to Prof Had!ey's collection of
such achievements, it has never been
beaten.

Her bright. deep eyes. that almost speak,
Her slender figure, full Of grace,
The sweetness OF her fair, young face,
Her soft brown hair,

All have for me resistless charm
She is so fair!
But when at times she plays crcquet,
Or billiards, as she did to-day,
Or in that game of love takes part
In which she knows I've staked my heart,

| exactly true. & pair of SIX shooters, hel
in the hands of u stalwart man, whose
face was partly concealed by black
mask, fastened our descent, and in 6
moment, we found ourselves ranged in
| line. with our hands above oEr heads, q
meek, unhappy cowed group. At one
end of the line stood Tommy, swearing
savagely at his luck; at the other stood
the colonel, cool, impassive, dignified con-
| fident in the security of his treasure. The
last to descend was the widow, but a
widow no longer, for out of the coach
there sprang an active young fellow, of
slender but sinewy build, smooth shaver,
| dressed in the conventional garb of a
western rider and carrying in his hand
nickle-p plated six-shooter. And this was
Mrs. Smith, who did not speak English.
/ Any one standing near the Judge at that
| time might have heard an exclamation,
both forcible and profane. The 'widow''
heard it, for with little laugh he Tor she
touched his fingers to his lips, and said:
"Hush, judge. that's cussin', and yod
draw the line there, you know"
| And then he proceeded to search the
pockets of his felIow-travellers, as if it
were very commonplace affair, which it
| certainly was not, and relieve them of
| their valuables, his associate keeping
guard meantime. Down the line he went,
doing his work quickly but carefully, but
before he was done the other began to
grow impatient.
"Hurry up, JIM" he said; saint you
most through? We're late"
''All done, but this one" said jim, the
guardian widow, as he halted before the
colonel; she's got four thousand dollars
eewed plum in his shirt. I reckon Tll
have to rip the old coon open to git It."
Saying which, he drew his knife, and with
quick movement, as if TO disembowel
he colonel, slipped the point through
his clothing, and with wrench pulled
| out the package.
