History records the GOODNESS of Ma
poleon at Arcola; Caesar at the Rubi-
con Grant at the Wilderness and John
Rogers at the stake, but the historian
of to-day tells in burning words how a
presidential candidate in the U. s ;,
who bravely and gullantly hung men
with his own hands, rather than allow
some one else, an unknown, to receive
the $780, which was allowed by law
in the State of New York for this low
and disgraceful service. Y Sun,

the Republican victory in Vermont
may be judged from the facts that the

tial election, four years ago. was only

the children in memory that Gods first gift
to man was "every tree that was pleasant to

was ''every man living under his own vine

AMagni6cent Residence Burned.

TEANEcK, N. j., April 2.-The handsome
residence of William Walter Phelps was
destroyed by fire last night At few minutes
past 6 o'clock. A loud report was heard in
the art gallery at the southeast corner of the
building. The flames at once filled the
gallery, and long tongues Of fire shot from
the windows. The building was lighted
with gasoline, aud it is thought that the ex-
plosion and fire were caused by defective
gas pipe. By o'clock the entire fine struc-
ture was burned, and nothing was left but
the walls. The house was mostly composed
of stone. Hackensacket firemen tried to get
to the fire, but the distance is three miles
and the roads were very muddy. There was
no water, so they could have rendered no
service. The loss will be $500, 1000. The
house stood in the midst of lawns, drives
and shrubbery, in park of eight hundred
acres set apart from the estate Of fifteen
hundred acres, which reaches from Hacken.
sacket to the grounds, and was peaked and
lowered and gabled At oil sides.

A Mechanical Phenomenon.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Special.-A remarkable
and valuable invention in railroad mechan-
ism, which has recently stood q severe prac-
tical test of eight months duration on the
Kentucky & Indiana bridge railroad, was
sold here yesterday to the American Sema-
phore Company for $150,o00. The device is
an automatic electric block signal, the rails
being used as electrodes. It not only affords
absolute and unfailing protection to the
block section, but indicates the presence Of q
broken or spread rail, misplaced switch or
obstruction on the track within any section.
An entirely novel scientific feature is the use
Of chloroform compound expanding in =
partial vacuum from which the power for
moving the signals is obtained, the small
electric current is only an auxiliary. Scien-
fists and mechanical engineers, as we'll as
many prominent railroad men, pronounce
the invention = mechanical phenomenon,
and say that the wonderful results obtained
from its use will effect = revolution in rail-
road operations, as it reduces the chances of
railroad accidents to . minimum, admitting
of the maximum speed with safety. New
York, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Louisville
capitalists are among the present owners Of
the device.

Still on the Downward Road
Billings Gazette, I'd.

blLln0S GQzetle, "a.
Another chapter in the history of our ex-
county attorney, Sam H. Wildly, is now
ready to be written. News comes from the
Warm Springs asylum that DR.. Mussigbrod,
deciding that Wildly had recovered sufficient
ly, released him from the asylum, gave him
pass on the railroad and s25 in money to
see him through until something turned up.
Wildly went from there to Spokane Falls,
when finding his money exhausted and need
ing more he repaid the good doctors kind
ness by forging his name to check, but did
not succeed in getting the money He then
tapped till, jumped his board bill and
skipped for parts unknown.
The conclusion Of Wildy's history, if ever
known, will either be one of violent death
or long term in the penitentiary. 1t will
be greatly to the benefit of this part of the
country if he never returns. Though there
are few parties who would like to see him
return so that they might be the means of
placing him behind the bars He has stood
up before "bars" too long already to ever be
of any use to himself or any one else.

DeWolfe arrived here on Monday morning

it in the face Of seniority and precedent, but
the wishes of this District have finally been
fulfilled and but one term held, at Missoula,
until DeWolfe "came to his own" He has
already most favorably impressed the bar
by the dispatch of business, prompt and cor

government Of his court. We are pleased to
welcome him to the District as Presiding
Justice, and trust when he leaves the office
the expression of approval may be As general

RAILROAD EMPLOYEES STRIKE.

The scenes of the Brotherhood of Engin-
eers' strike, in which fremen and switchmen
finally took hand, has shifted during the
past week like the figures of kaleidoscope.
It was carried in Chicago even to the extent
of strike of the Belt Line employees, which
makes transfers for all roads entering Chi
caso, of spiking switches, of sssanlting those
who would not strike, and Of even cut
loose from Arthur's conservatism by the
more radical element. The boycott of the
Burlington extended to Kansas City, Mil
waukee, St. Joseph and Springfield, Ohio.
Finally the Belt Line. Fort Wayne and
Michigan Central employees and st. Paul
yard men went back to work on an ultima
tum from their companies, making an un-
conditional surrender to a number of COM
panies-that unless they at once returned to
work they could never again have employ
men. on the road. The 20" company also
began delivering its cars to other roads. A
Congressional committee has been appointed
to investigate the strike. Wednesday q
mass meeting Of 1900 employees was held,
and the "boycott" was finally declared ''off :"
on all roads except the 20" system, which
now claims to be able to operate its system
without the aid of the strikers, but the dis
position seems to be to pile on it $500 cars
Of accumulated freight and swampit. It is
pretty difficult, however, to swamp road
with the amount Of side.track 1t has, al
though freight may be delayed. To all ap-
pearances the strike Is practically over, and
has been failure and disaster.
There is some legislation required in this
country whereby the welfare of 81, 600 900
people shall not be impaired by the action
of any associations of capital or labor-for
the latter are powerful for as much evil as
the former. There should be limitations
upon both, that in the pursuit Of their OBJ
jects neither shall encroach upon the rights
Of the ninety nine hundredths Of American
citizens who may now be made to suffer by
