The Daily Eight.
TUESDAY, JUNE, II, 1889.

THE st. Louis Republic, referring to
| the summary punishment meted out
| to the Ghouls who strip the dead and
cut off fingers for jewels in the Johns
town valley OF death, says:
without being uncharitable,. it Is
| pertinent to add that more men nave
been lynched and more negroes and
Hun garians threatened with Danish
ment on account of their racial pecu-
| liararities in one Pennsylvania coun-
ty since Saturday last than in Arkan-
sas in the last year."
The internal littleness and diaboll-
cal meanness of that statement, I'M
der the circumstances, is only equaled
by its damnable falsity. For pure
lie. unadulterated gall, and consum-
mate cussedness it holds over any
black, abominable lie that was ever
born in the Opaque profundity of deep
damnation. The Ell Paso Tribune,
like little satellite of hell, exclaims,
"Well said, Republic"
THE sheriff7s convention of this
state was in session yesterday at Gal
weston and had lively discussion
over the fee-bill allowed by Attorney
General Hogg. The result was a
series of resolutions setting forth the
fact that the Interpretation of Attor-
ney Hogg would bankrupt every sher-
iffin the state, if they performed the
duties required of them by law for the
fees now allowed them. 1t was de-
cidedto appeal to the next legislature
for redress and to support no man for
legislature who would not pledge
himself to work and vote for an
amendment to the law. This will add
one more factor to the peculiar condi-
lions which will surround candidates
for the next legislature.
THE full grasp which the Express
takes of the great issues that divide the
two parties of this nation is seen from
day to day in its arrangement Of pc
litfcal candidates for the contest of
1892. Its morning Incubation is as
follows:
"For President, 1892, Benjamin
Harrison; for vice president, Russell
Harrison; for secretary Of state, Mrs.
Harrison; for secretary of war, Papa
Mckee; for secretary of the navy,
Mama Mckee; for secretary of the in
terror, Baby Mckee; for everything
else, the remainder of the Harrison
family. Platfcrm: We had grand
father"
Its Intellectual propulsion can
carry it no farther. Sleep baby,
sleep!
GALVESTON has sins enough of her
own to answer for, actual sins and
shortcomings; without saddling upo'
her fictitious ones such as the Times
of this city attempts in charging that
Calves ton has made no response to
the distress cry from JOhnstOwn. On
last Saturday Galveston had raised
over 81 800 and will probably raise
more. Texas has no city so poverty
striker or so selfish that it will not
respond to the call from suffering

No Enlargement of Opportunity.


 The hearing in the Housatonic railroad case has a two-fold character. There was the petition for an amendment to the char there was the question whether the Housa- tonic managers had not abused such powers as they already have in their charter. The developments in the line of this latter in- quiry have brought out facts that should be plainly spread before all Connecticut. They are not in the line of what this State ap- proves, no, nor tolerates.
 Three rich men have secured complete con- trol of the Housatonic railroad. One of | these, indeed, feels justified in talking of it as "my road" It is StRrbuck-his road, his l money, his interests.
 Then this new management has issued stock and bonds unlawfully, or apparently unlawfully, to @ large amount and has then '.revalued" the road in order to make up something against this capitalization. To do this, locomotives of the war time period have | been ''revalued" at original cost, which is more than new ones would cost to-day, etc. gross ease of stock watering has been all exposed before the committee.
 Starbuck, speaking for the company which | is himself, has formally declared that it is | his intention to make the Consolidated road | squirm.
 1 What 8 foundation all this is for enlarged l privileges! There should be little doubt | about the fate of the petition, for surely management of this sort should not bs trusted to go further. It's record is the answer to it's request. As to the decision o the committee in regard to the watery course of the Housatonio management, that may cal for more deliberation, though the people O Connecticut would cordially endorse thu l most emphatic official denuneiation of sucl practises. But as to enlarging their oppor
 tunities, that is something that the dignity and the welfare of the state both forbid.

ATHmIvING COUNTRY.

A The Argentine Republic is making great progress nowadays. In report to the State department our consul at Buenas Ayres gives an interesting account of the condition of this growing republic.
 One of the accompaniments of the pros gress of the country is a big debt. This debt has in the past seven years, and in a state of profound peace, increased nearly three-fold, and the interest upon 1t now eats up more than one third of the public reve- nue each year. But the country is learning economy, it is rapidly abandoning it's policy of substituting railways and other works, which might be carried on by private enter prise, and which are, in fact, now being thus carried on, while a spirit of enterprise has taken possession of the people that is result- ing in a development of industries which Consul Baker regards as ''alHost marvel ous," and which he is quite sure is neither artificial nor fictitious, but repre- sentative of genuine and permanent pro- gress.
 The foreign trade of the republic increased from $69. .s34, s41 in 1886 to ss4, ,421 ,s2O in 1887, gain of s14, ,5s6, ,979, while the inn ports increased $21, ,943, ,3s0, or from $95,- 409,7 to $117, ,352, 125. Germany, which sold the republic ss,3s5, ,152 worth of manu- factured goods, mostly fabrics, groceries and iron implements, in 1880, sold it $12, 108, ,456 worth in 1887; Belgium increased it's exports thither in the same period from $2, ,593, ,105 to $1O, ,947 ,955; France sold it goods to the value of $8, ,2s2, ,s72 in 1880, and articles worth s22,- 743, $50 in 1887, and in return has in great part obtained control of the republics wool clip; while the trade with Great Britain has shown even 8 more remarkable progress sion. More and more England is taking the surplus agricultural products of the Argen- tine Republic. Her imports from that coun- try, which were in 1880 $5, 1eS, ,732, has grown in 1887 to s17 ,Os5, ,001, while in the same period she had increased her exports thither from s12, ,103, ,46O to $34, ITS, ,211. In other words, England supplies more than one fourth of the needs of the Argentine Repub- lie for manufactured goods and takes from it in return over one-ffth of its surplus raw material. Our own share in the trade of the country is not large. We sent it 8, 224 TAB in 1880; our exports now aggregate S11 ,004, ,- 553, though our imports which have greatly fuctuated meantime are but little larger than in the irst-named year.
 It is humiliating that so much of the trade of the Argentine Republic, which naturally should come to this country, goes to other countries. The matter is worth the earnest attention of our business men.

 From the Chicago Timesl
 Hunting stories for a newspaper is like try ing to borrow money without collateral. Ask a man to tell you story and, like Canning's hero, he will say:
 "Story! God bless youl have none to tell, sir"
 Abide with him without letting him know your mission, and he will lead you dance through the realms of fact and fiction. Now man who comes to your relief on pinch and tells something just to help out.

 ssMr. Habbakuk P- desires the prayers of the congregation that the death of his wife may be sancti6ed to him for his spir- itual good"
 Then, when the congregation was between stupefaction and explosion, the clergyman went on with the service at a rapid rate.

MADE THE BRIDE HAPPY.
How She Was Entertained at a Syvs Boston Party Given in Her Honor

How She Was Entertained at a Swell
 Boston Party Given in Her Honor.
 Correspondence San Francisco Postl
 Boston hospitality has a pecu liar method of it's own. Visiting strangers have discov- cred that at entertainments here it is not customary to make introductions. Of course, the business of introducing people may be carried to excess, but then there is an opposite extreme.
 For instance, a young and pretty bride from New Orleans was invited to dinner party on Commonwealth avenue the other night, the understanding being that the festive event was in her special honor. Nevertheless, upon arriving with her hus- band, she was surprised to find herself showed, with him, off into corner, without | being presented to any one, and permitted \ to remain-after a brief word with the hostess-unnoticed and alone. When the | butler did finally enter to announce that the | repast was ready the host offered her his arm; but at the table no attention was paid l to her, save by an old dowager at the father ] end of the board, who seemed to be aston 1 ishingly deaf.
 ''My dear," shouted the old lady, as the soup succeeded the oysters, "pray tell me | how long you have been married" "Only few days" replied the guest of 1 honor, also loudly, so that she might be l heard.
 l Evidently, however, the old lady did not hear; for, when the fish was being brought 1 on, she cried out again: "My dear, have you been married very long'
 s'Not yet week. madam" responded the | bride, louder still this time. | ssOh" said the dowager, as if relieved, and 1 thereupon relapsed into silence. But the removal of the roast woke her up again.
 "My dear" she remarked, 1T did not un- derstand how long you said you had been | married.
 'Exactly five daysl" screamed the young l matron, flushing half with embarrassment, 1 half with anger.
 "Ah, yes," rejoined the old woman, hav- ing apparently heard this time. "And, my dear, how many children did you say you had so far!'
 l The above is literal fact.

 Neal Dow has been an ardent prohibition ist for long time, but he writes as follows to the Lewiston (Maine) Journal For more than twenty years have been to every legis- lature in Maine, often with hundreds of petitions, asking for such amendments to the law as would make it thoroughly efec- tive. These efforts have always failed, and the grog-snops keep on pretty much as they did twenty years ago."
 The latest facts available for the estimate of the population of the Russian empire show that the total population of Russia in Europe and Asia is 108, 797, ,235. Of this population s1, ,722, 1855 belong to Russia in Europe, F. 990, ,304 to Poland, 4,3l3, ,6S0 to Siberia and 5,327, ,09S to Russian Central Asia. The most thiekly settled portion of the empire is Pos land, which has 794 inhabitants to square verst The least settled section is Siberia, which has only O.4 to square verst. In Po- land there are 104 females to 100 males; in Siberia 932. There are ,310 towns in the empire, but only 36 have population of over 50, ,OO0 inhabitants. Only four cities exceed ! 200, ,000.
 The movement against the African slave trade is making chearing headway in Europe. ! Anti-slavery societies have been formed in many of the chief cities of France, Belgium,
 Holland, Germany, Austria, Spain and Por- | tugal. Even little Switzerland, which has no colonies nor any direct relations with the regions where slavery reigns, has organized
 her anti-slavery society at Geneva. The Anti Slavery Movement is the name of a periodical in Belgium that has just appeared in the interest of the new crusade. The German Catholics have established "The African Society for the Suppression of Slavery" and it's branch organizations are 1 founded all over the empire.
 There are indications that it may not be necessary to do much to check immigration
 from Europe to this country. In some parts
 of South America strong bids for immigrants
 are made The Argentine congress at it's last session voted that the cost of passage
 from Europe should be advanced to 50,00O agriculturalists and artisans. The number of immigrants received in 1887 was 137, ,426,
 against 93, 116 in 1886, and in eleven months
 of 1888 the number was 12s, ,797 The gov ernnaent of Chili has authorized it's immigra-
 tion agents abroad to give free passage to all
 who desire to come to that country, and it is provided that the immigrants shall be fed and lodged for fifteen days after their arrival In thus promoting immigration Chilli will
 spend $5OO,O ,O00.
