MAILING; LDTTERN ON TRAINS

MAILING, LETTERS ON TRAINS.
''As many of the business men,"
says An exchange. ''are in the habit of
mailing letters written at the eleventh
hour through the postal clerks on the
railroad. instead of sending them thrO'
the pOstOf1ice, they will be interested in
knowing that an order has been issued
from the department prohibiting postal
clerks from cancelling stamps. Letters
mailed on the train will be put off at
the next postottice to be cancelled by
the postmaster, which will consequent
ly delay such letter one day. This order
took effect on the fifteenth day Ut Sept"

THE WINTER.

During the memorable 'blockade
winter" Of lSSO.Sl, when there was a
blizzard about every Friday, the AD.
VANCE became noted for its weather
forecasts, and there was much jocular
threatening to hang the editor for
bringing on such weather. This wiz
ter we do not care to attempt il fore
cast Of every particular storm, but we
wish to call attention again to the al.
most invariable rule that ''hayd" win
ters, will, heavy snow fall, follow dry
seasons. This WAS especially the case
after the great drouth Of 1871, when
Chicago WAS burned. Two rs severe
winters as ever were known followed,
:as all the early settlers in Mobiles coun-
ty can testify.
Following this rule, the ADVANCE
las predicted u "hard" winter this
time, with Il great deal Of snowfall,
expressing, however. the hope that by
some variation from the rule it might
fail.
Judging from the storms we have
had already and the amount Of snow
now on the ground, the rule will hold
good this winter with special emphasis,
and it would be wise to count upon it
and prepare for it. Those who notice
other "signs" tell us that the goose
bone indicates one of the severest win.
ters known for years, while others say
that the weather of the last week in
December will govern or foreshadow
the weather of the next three
months.
Boreas evidently will be the ruling
weather God for this winter. and We
petition him to make his "adminlstra-
tion" as peaceable rs possible.

THE Law AS 10 CONBFIRACY.S
Judge Wakefield, during his fnstse~
tions to the jury in the Arensdorf II
at Sioux City, thus laid down the
as to conspiracy according to the Jd s.
nal of that city:
Judge Wakefield applied broadly y
rule that II the defendant had ma0e ~
agreement. or eptered into All und
standing with others to murder H9t-
dock, and had aided therein, thensls
was guilty, though he was not prespt +
at the murder;,or if Ire co.lsplred. pr
entered into an understanding VIII
Others to commit AL assault ou H1l-
dock, and if III Committing that ASSAM.
HaddOck was murdered, anu the G.
fendant was present, he was guilty.,
The instructions also stated the brUAd
rule Ofevidence, that If conspiracy WAs
established, then all the acts and declfE-
atioDs Of all the cOnspirat0rs in pufta.
ance OF the common unlawful purpeee
was evidence against each one.
If the law were different, punishmeet
would be made more sure aud propl
All the members of q conspiracy to kill
are not equally guilty with the actual
murderer. Neither should they all be
tried together. There should be one
punishment for principal aud another
for accessory. II it had been SO. Arens.
dorf would probably have got his des
erts. It was the great wrong of the
anarchist trial at Chicago that the po-
lice threw out Il drag net, caught seven
men, had them all tried together a. e.
qually guilty, and all condemned tt
death In q lump.

A considerable number of the Jury
men were all selected from one town
ship where sympathy with the accused
man ran high. How any jury could
consistently acQuit Arensdorf after
Munchrath's conviction and with the
new evidence offered by Revenue COL
lector Webster and others, is one of the
mysteries. 1t used to be thought too
much to expt Ct consistency of Il jury;
but after the conviction Of the boodlers
of New York. the anarchists in Chica-
90, Munchrath in Sioux City, the Rains
bargers in MarshalltOwn aud Buhmam
in Toledo. we had somehow come to re-.
gard the American jury system with
great respect.-Cedar Rapids Republi
can.
Isn't it just as the ADVANCE said
the day before the verdict, viz: ''if there
is temperance jury, Arensdorf will be
convicted; If not, notp'' The Ansrch-
lists were convicted because there was
an anti.anarachist jury. D. NJ. Ben
rett was convicted because he was an
infidel and the jury were bigots. Mrs.
Slenker was found ''guilty' by Vir-
ginia jury because she was an infidel
and the jury were orthodox. So On.
Juries usually simply express the pref
udices of their class.

Full Free Trade.

When one child OF a family of six is
stricken down with the scarlet fever the
free trader would comfort the family in this
way s.You have six children, and only
one of them has the disease that is not a
malady, 1t is only one-sixth of malady.'
The mother and father of the sick child are
not to be fooled by that kind OF arithme tic,
and they keep the other children at safe
distance, for they know that the house c0n
tains a case of sickness that is complete
whole. The free trader uses the same false
logic when he attemps to inform the grea'
family of American working people that
free wool, free this and free that, are not
cases OF complete free trade, but only one
third or one-half free trade The people
will not be deceived in this way. 1t is full
\ free trade so far as it concerns the articles
that are ad mItted free.

failed to find him. Almost overcome with
grief she ran home and told her husband,
who gave the alarm when q number of the
neighbors gathered and secured the country
and hills all Monday night and the entire
day on Tuesday without finding the boy.
Since Tuesday there has been no word re-
, ceived whether the lad had been found or
not. The parents were nearly crazed with
the thought of their boy being lost.
Operations were suspended a. the coal
mines in the Cove mountain near this place
last week, until the necessary funds are
raised TO open 1t up right. Heretofore,
there was only few hands at work with
I pick, shovel and wheel barrow which of
course was OF a great diss Vantage. II
required nssrly all this force to keep the
water pumped out of the mine and conse-
I quently very little progress was gained.
The object now is ia raise sufficient money
to purchase an engine for pumping and
hosting purposes as we'll to make
other needed improvements to facilitate
matters. To this end a stock company has
been organized, and at this writing over
one hundred shares have alre ady been sub
scribed, and We predict soon TO see the
mines in full operation.-Duncannon Re-
cord.
Pubic sentiment IN this country will
never reach its proper level until it ostra-
cises vile man as remOrselessly as il does
a vile woman. The wretch who 5etrays a
girl and starts her on the road to eternal
ruin must be Stunned as systematically as
his victim Often the woman is more sin
ned against than SHINING. At present she
hgs nothing before her but a dark, cheer
less future. But the wretch who blighted
this young life is received into the best So
ciety and treated as though be were hero.
All this is wrong. If any creature on earth
deserves the scOrn and cond emnation of vir-
tuous people it is the lioertine. And if The
good OF each community were to form a
league often sive and defensive against the
human wolf who preys upon virtue they
would not only be doing their duty but
would save many from folly aud ruin But
so long the hbertine is welcomed &c
homes that should double bar their door:
against him while the woman is driven in
to obscurity great wrong and great out
rage will continue.-AltoOna Tribune.
