SALVATION RIOTS.

When Mrs. BOOTH. the female part of
the head of the Salvation Army, was in
st. Paul some time since, her story of
the tribulations of the forces under their
command had its most thrilling episodes
in Switzerland. The authorities there
had tried to suppress them. Recent ae-
counts from Geneva report assaults
upon the paradeS, and street riots in
which numerous persons were badly in
jured. On this account the state coun-
ell has prohibited all professions and
use of noisy instruments. This is, of
course, merely to avoid disturbances
and preserve the peace. 1t is singular
that the country most noted for its love
of liberty and that boasts of its free in
situations should display more popular
intolerance than other old world COM
muuities. But religious movements are
not often kept down by persecution.

The trial of the case of Catherine
Clark against John Rouse for 5000
damages. which was begun Monday aft
ernoon, was continued all day yesterday
before Judge Young. The witnesses in
the case are mostly Irish with a genuine
brogue that in itself is extremely funny.
This, together with the story which they
had to tell. made the trial very interest
ing, and there was full court room all
day. Most of the testimony went to
show that Rouse was outside of the door
when the disturbance took place which
frightened Mrs. Clark. Some of the
witnesses gave testimony that while
Rouse had been drinking he was not
more responsible for the disturbance
than Mrs. Clark herself.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

There are those still living who re-
member the time when color had good
deal to do with Industrial activity in the
Southern states. Those who moved in
what was regarded as the higher social
scale, and had the better educational
advantages, were generally disposed to
be self-sacrifcing enough to leave to
others all the benefits in the way of
physical culture to be derived from
practical manual pursuits. This was
still more specifically the fact with
ladies. 1t was not at all common for
society ladies to have very exhaustive
information as to the practical detail. o.
domestic economy and culinary science.
The other day the legislature of Georgia
passed a bill for the establishment of
an industrial school for girls. 1t was
not for an enforced industry for the
hayward or unfortunate. but training

FARMER Kusk's DILEMMA.

There is perhaps no member of the
cabinet who has avoided Snags more
carefully than Uncle JERRY RUSK,
nor one who can more skillfully steer
around Instructions. Therefore, it be-
comes a matter of universal surprise to
find the chief of the hayseed depart
ment in hole from which he cannot
extricate himself. A law enacted by
congress a good many years ago pro-
yideS that the head of each department
except the department of justice shall
furnish To the congressional printer a
copy of his annual report on or before
the third Monday of November of each
year. 1t has been ii law more honOred
in the breach than the observance; but
Uncle JERRY, being man of prompt
habits, has been getting up at 6 O'clock
i'm the morning for the last three months
to work on the first report that was to
be issued from the new department of
agriculture. He had spread himself on
this WORK, and was congratulating him
self upon the sensation that would be
created when his report was printed
ard circulated broadcast among the
tillerS of the soil. 1t was a proud day
for Uncle JERRY when he penned the
closing sentence TO his historical dOcu-
menL, and before the ink was dry he
had the precious manuscript in his
pocket and was on the way to the public
printers Office. He was fully fort
night ahead of time, something that had
never been done by cabinet officer n
the whole history of the government.
But when he reached the bureau of
printing and engraving Uncle JERRY
found himself in the deplorable plight
of Mother HUBBARD'S dog when it in
vaded the old lady's cupboard. There
was no appropriation in sight to pay the
expenses of printing the report. BY
singular oversight congress had failed
to include the agricultural department
in the printing appropriations. 1t is
not necessary to state that Uncle JERRY
was mad when he made this discovery.
The men working at the cases i'll the
upper part of the establishment imag-
ined that an electrical storm of unusual
force was in motion, not suspect
ing that the blue flames shoot
ing around the building were
merely reflected from the vOllcy of
Wisconsin oaths that was being fired
below. In his wrath Uncle JERRY
sat down aud wrote letter to the pres
ident, telling him what set of asses
these congressman were, of how inter-
esting to the farmers he had made his
report. and what profound astonish-
ment and deep disappointment its nOn-
appearance would be to this large class
of our citizens. Then. in the language
of Private Secretary HALFoRD, he
stepped out into back lot and Jumped
on himself as apenance. for being mixed
up with such careless administration.
Perhaps the next congress will be
liberal enough to supply Uncle JER RY
with funds to get out his great agricult
ural cryptOgram. In the meant me
the farmers of the country will pursue
their study of last years patent Office
report.

THEY WANT FOREIGNERS.

Earlier residents of New Hampshire
and Vermont will recall the time when
a man born out of the United States
was quite an object of curiosity in those
states. A Canadian now and then might
stray over the line, and few Irishmen
drifted to the towns. Now there is a
considerable element of alien birth,
though still much less than in the other
New England states. There is at pres
ent an active rivalry between these two
old states to secure foreign immigration,
not to fill the factories, but to occupy
their deserted and tenantless farms.
Vermont is negotiating for colony of
Swedes, and New Hampshire is tempt
ing foreign eyes with lists of farms to
be had at merely nominal prices. The
lands are not exhausted, and can be
made as productive as they ever have
been. They are inviting to the people
who have eked subsistence from the
most barren regions of the old world.

CLERICAL PROFANITY.

The rector of one of the prominent
churches in New York, Rev. DIR. RY-
LANCE, is under trial on the charge Of
swearing. When he was travelling a
laundering baggagemasteI sent his
trunks the wrong way. and the minister
of divine things calculated, damn
those trunks" The case is eliciting a
good deal of outside discussion with Op-
posing conclusions. On tie one hand,
it is insisted that the imprecation of
evil, being directed to an inanimate
thing, indicated neither malice nor i'm
piety. There was no desire to inflict in
jury upon any conscious, sentient being.
Had the Objurgation been directed
at the baggageman, there might be
suspicion of profanity. No moral quail
ity inheres in words more than deeds.
The mental state that incites them is
their interpreter. If the preacher had
malevolent feeling in his heart. he
was responsible for that, but a mere
objurgatiOn of the property could hardly
be made reprehensible. The words may
be unclerieal and undignified, but are
not necessarily prOfane.
