The Fox Hunting Judge.
Farmers Voice.

Rather a goed story used to be told by Justice Porter, we'll known legal bonvtcdnt of Dublin. It concerns a rare old Irish judge on the northwest circuit, who loved the hunting field more than he did the stupid, sleepy court room. His clerk was like minded, and joyous pair they made.
 One fine morning the clerk whis- pered to the judgr:
 "Yer honor, old Billy Duane's meets to-day at Ballykillmulligan, an they've fine dog fox"
 "How many's in the dock2" asked the judge excitedly.
 "Twenty, for rioting and breach of promise, yer honor"
 "Tom," said the judge, "do you think you can get the first fellow to plead guilty without jury trial, and me to let him off with week in jail?"
 "The easiest thing in the world" answered the faithful clerk.
 "Make haste, then, and bring the whole gang; and, I say, Tom, tell Jerry to saddle the mare meanwhile"
 The twenty Fenians were brought into the court-a defiant gang, nine- tech of them prepared to fight with counsel and jury to the bitter end. The twentieth had been interviewed by the clerk. He was called
 "Guilty or not guilty of the crime charged?" demanded the judge, with a propitious smile.
 "Guilty, yer honor," said the crafty prisoner.
 "Well," said the judge, glancing be- nevolently about the room, "I fancy I can let you off with week."
 The man thanked the judge and stepped down to the bailiff. There was terrific sensation among the other defendants. Why, none of them expected to get off with less than five years in limbo. Here was chance to profit by "his honor's" pleasant mood. One and all manifested an earnest de- sire to follow the example of their comrade and acknowledge the crimes in batch.
 "Do you all plead guilty?" de- manded the judge eagerly.
 "We dol" shouted the enthusiastic nineteen, in chorus.
 "Fourteen years transportation apiece" exclaimed the judge, with a click of his jaw-"Jerry, is the mare saddled yet?"
 The above cheerful anecdote has been making the rounds of the press for some time. The legal fraternity find it exquisitely comical. The judges craft in humbugging those poor fellows strikes the average law yer as being irresistibly amusing. Legal gentlemen are in the habit of finding fun in queer quarters.
 Dickens hits off this peculiarity after his own matchles manner, in re- lating the close of the great Chancery suit of Jarndyce rs. Jarndyce. The lawyers rush from the courtroom roaring with laughter. A bystander asks, "Is that long drawn case at last over, and what is the verdict?" "No verdict" responds an attorney, "the costs have eaten up the entire estate," and then goes off into convulsions of merriment, while upstairs fair young man is reeling under his death blow.
 The judge in the above story would disgrace an ordinary chain gang.

the period treated (lSS7) was one OF re-
markable activity in railroading, as well
as in all other branches of industrial en-
terprise, indicating that the era of pros
perity predicted for the South has set in.
In 1887 the mileage of railroads in oper-
alton increased 1,229 over the total of
1886, and 1859 over that of 1884 In the
six years from 1881 to 1886 there were
only unimportant increases in gross and
in net earnings. In 1887, after three
years of no progress, tai directed its
attention to the South as place for in
vestment, for the development of its min
eral wealth, its lumber capacity and the
betterment of its farm lands. As re-
suit, many new industries were put afoot,
and naturally the railroad system ex-
tended. This progress, says Mr.. Poor, has
been at rate unequaled in the past, and
the earnings of the old lines have in
creased in ratio to the impetus thus given

FRIGHTFUL OUTRAGE.
Missouri Bald -Rnobbers Lynch Five
Peacsable Citizens.

NoCNhoAO OAbLcbss
ST. Louis, November 15th-A special was
received by the Post Dispatch this morning
from Christian county, the home of the
famous Bald-knobber king, Dave Walker,
to the effect that five of the witnesses who
testified against him in his trial for murder
had been lynched by ex- Bald -Knobbers.
1t is said that the friends OF Walker
waited until the Supreme Court had passed
upon the case of Walker, apd when it was
announced that the ex.Chief of the Bald
Knobber Regulators must hang, they
wreaked their vengeance on five of the lead.
ing witnesses who brought him within the
shadow of the gallows.
The lynching is said to have taken place
on Tuesday night on the banks of Bull
creek. in Christian county, but nothing
authentic has been learned. The point al
which 1t IS said to have occurred is forty
miles from telegraph station. and the
only means OF communication is by mes
senger.
Late last night man by the name of
Grant arrived here from Taney Citv. in
fancy county, to see Joe Inman and Chas
Groves, to give them warning not to return
to their home in Christian county. Inman
and Groves were concerned in the Green
and Edens murder, and to save their necks
lucy tutHeu otateS eVlCence. Both came
here several days ago, and were about re-
turning when Grant reached here and told
them that five men had already been
lynched, and the lynchers were waiting fol
them.
Grant knew nothing of the lvnchine
himself The information had been
brought to him by one of Inmans rela.
tives, who did not stop to give particulars
but continued his fight towards Arkansas
after begging Grant to warn Inman anG

A SERIOUS BLUNDER.
A Lady Nearly Frustrated by u Fat
ent Iedicine.

A lady well-Snown in the Western Addition
has been great sufferer for years with in
digestion and dyspepsia Struck with the
testimonials praising Joys Vegetable sarsa-
parilla, she sent for bottle The druggist,
not having it, talked them into taking another
sarsaparilla. As the leading ssrsaparillas use
mineral blood purifiers, the effect of the
emptying of iodide OF potash into stomach
already distressingly delicate was disastrous,
almost prostrating her before the mistake was
rectifed. She then called upon Mrs Fowler,
of S27 Ellis street, whose name was among
those cured by Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
Mrs. Fowler said it was true that it had cured
her. Again reassured, the vegetable COM
pound was sent for and gotten. The gentle
action of its vegetable stinulants upon the
liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and its
warm stomach tonics, were the very things
needed, and she began improving and was
her old self within a fortnight. This sounds
like fiction, but the names can be given II
necessary.-San Francisco Examiner

RAILROAD PROGRESS.

For the fiscal year, 1887, according to
Poor's Manual of Railroads for 1888, there
had been laid in the United States 49,
9l270 miles of railroad track. The in
crease of mileage in the fiscal year was
14,39204. The enormous value involved
can be best appreciated by the further
statement that the liabilities of the COM
panies owning the 1892 miles of track
amounted to $S,S96, ,431, ,2l4, while their
total assets are valued at $9,19e,954,5l5
and their total available revenue amounts
to 4,300,031. Poor finds that the tabu-
lations of earnings, construction, etc, show
a more prosperous condition of railroading
in 1887 than was anticipated. Thus the
gross earnings in 1887 were sl10, POS, ,S66
n.excess of those of 1885, while the excess
of net earnings was S34, $50, ,555. The
period of depression in the business of the
country characterizing 1884 and 1885,
having passed, the statistician concludes
that we are about to enter upon an era of
some,extraordinary and unlooked-fer polit-
ical or industrial ccnyulsion. For the bus
iness of railroading is so closely related to
the industries of the country that no other
commercial barometer SO sensitively indi-
Gates their condition.
From the tables of the same authority
we find tAat the section making the great
est progress in the Development of railway
systems is the West In the region west
of the Mississippi and Ohiorivers and east
of the Rocky Mountains, the increase of
miles of road operated in 1887 over 1886
was 6,512 miles, the Pacific group of States
and Territories ranking next The gross
earnings of the western roads in 1887 ex-
ceeded those of 1886 by S5S, ,10l, ,266, and
the next largest increase is credited
to the six Middle States, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia. In the excess
of gross earnings per mile the Pacific
group leads with 1891, the South standing
next with 1857, the Vest being 1862; Lnt
the excess or increase in net earnings per
mile were greatest in the South, sl19.
The new railway construction in 1888. up
to June Both, aggregated 2.3O0 miles, and
was principally in the South, Southwest
and upon the Pacific coast. The estimate
is made that by the close of the year it
will have exceeded $500 miles.

ADMISSION oF STATES.

The San Francisco Alta is Democratic
Journal. Fortunately, however, its parti-
sanship does not blind it to some of the
errors of its party nor wholly check the
honest impulse to reprove it as it deserves.
Admitting that the next House of Repre-
sentatives will be Republican by small
majority-sufficiently small to prevent any
running to excesses-the Alta frankly SAYS
We hope the hrst act of the new Congress will
be the admission of Dakota, Washington, Mon
tana, Idaho, Arizona and New Mexico, and the
submission of an amendment to the Federal
Constitution abolishing polygamy, so that Utah
may come in, and all the territory under the
flag, except far Alaska, be endowed with self
government and the circle of States be made
complete. The too long exclusion of these Ter
ritories has been due to the partisan greed OF
power, which insisted upon admitting Dakota
as two States for the sake of gaining two Sena-
tors. But whether now as one or two States let
the unnatural situation cease. 1t will mean a
present increase of twenty six in the electoral
vote. Either party may win it all and lose a
national election, or lose 1t all and win Poll
tics which depends on such finesse as the exclu-
sion or admission of the Territories is not skin
deep.
We disagree with the Alta as to the
cause for the division of Dakota. The
situation, as we understand it, is this
That the people Of Dakota are themselves
the authors of the idea of two States
they are certainly not agreed to come into
the Union as one. Each section is repre-
sented as having population sufficient and
as in all respects fitted to don the robes OF
Statehood. Bit, however that may be,
the question of two Dakotas or one may
safely left for Congressional consideration.
Under the Democratic Administration not
even one Dakota or one Washington or
one Idaho had any chance whatever of
gaining entrance to the Union of States.
The President did not advise or use his in
huence in that direction Democratic
policy forbade 1t for party'S sake. If parti-
san greed demanded the carving of two
States out of Idaho, so partisan fear on the
other side refused even one to the people of
Washington, Arizona, Wyoming or Mon
tana. The right of the American people
to local self-goyernment is above and supe-
rior to the claims and advantages of polit-
ical parties, and the denial of that right
to any group of citizens clearly entitled is
political crime that no party can afford
to commit.
