President Harrison on LaWless,
ness.

In the last two or three wears law.
lessness and mob violence have been
more frequent in the United States
than ever before. They have been
limited to no section, bnt have seemed
epidemic over the whole Union. Tho
press has more than once called at
tention to this fact, and tried to ex-
plain it. 1t has attributed these out
breaks at times to the large number
OF persons Of the criminal classes ex-
ported to this country from Europe;
and. again, to the failure OF Justice
and the determination of the people
to supply it in this rude way. What.
ever the cause, the fact remains that
lawlessness las become more and
more frequent.
Mr.. Harrison appreciates this. and
among the many topics he touched on
in his inaugural speech this is one.
What he said is well worth serious
consideration. for it is cn;te evident
that unless the good people discoun.
tenance lawlessness OF every kind it
will become dangerous to the peace.
order and civilization Of the nountry.
Mr.. Harrison points out the conse.
quences of encouraging or rather
tolerating lawlessness Of any kind,
and SAYS;
IAN unlawful expedient cannot be.
come permanent condition of GOV.
ernment. If the educated and in.
Huentlal classes in community either
practice or connive at the systematic
violation Of laws that seem to them to
cross their convenience, what can
they expect when the lesson that q
supposed class interest is q sufficient
cause for lawlessness has been well
learned by the ignorant classes? A
community where law is the rule Of
conduct and where courts, not mobs.
execute its penalties is the only at
tractive field for business investments
and honest labor"
Nothing in his message can be
studied to better advantage than this,
and no one can challenge his asser-
tions. 1t the educated or influential
classes practice, connive at or toIerats
lawlessness. what a lesson are they
teaching the ignorant and dangerous
classes. Mr.. Harrison is right when
ne says that there can be no prosperi.
ty for merchant or laborer while
mobs, not courts, execute the penalties
of the law.
The new President has placed him.
self on record in this matter. Tbs
press can do good service if it will
but speak out and use its influence to
suppress lawlessness Of all kinds; and
purify the courts and make them the
tribunal through which crimes are
punished.-Times- Democrat.

McEnery to-day fled his answer to
the suit brought against him recently
BY Robert G. Ingersoll and c. s.

In his answer. McEnery shows very
conclusively that though lie entered

An Exciting Marriage.

A Memphis special to the Times
Democrat, Of March Sd, gives the fol-
lowing account Of an exciting mar
riage in that city:
"A rather exciting marriage. took
place this evening at the Wondered
Museum. The groom was VIM. Quinn,
the lecturer of the museum, and the
bride. Vetie Cavalier, one of the
Albinos on exhibition. The affair
was entirely unexpected to the good
ly company Of freaks and employees,
and there was great commotion when
an Irish justice of the peace appeared
in the place and called up the pair.
John Cavalier, also an Albino, and
a brother of the bride, rushed for
ward and forbade the bans. Stand
back" said the justice. "and don't be
after comm betune them which the
law will jine." Nothing daunted,
the brother grabbed tho bridegroom
by the collar and the groom grasped
him BY the hair. They waltzed
around the hall in a hostile embrace,
the bride clinging to her chosen one
and the justice following in a trot,
repeating the formula required by law.
BY the time the circuit of the room
was completed. the justice announced
that the twain were man and wife,
and then pitched in and separated
the irats husband and brother. The
newly married couple left the hall
under the protection Of the law. The
brother swears vengeance on his
hrcther-in-law."

FARMERS WANTED.


New Hampshire seems to be quite as badly
off in the matter of deserted farms as is Yer
mont, where strenuous efforts are being made
to rspeople the State. The State Of New
Hampshire is soon to issue catalogue of
abandoned farms in various parts of the
State, and they are to be offered for sale. 1t
contains particulars of 352 abandoned farms,
well distributed throughout New Hampshire,
with the acreage, the asking price, etc. It
contains such offers as 200 acres for $1,000,
225 acres for $500, 800 acres for 81, 800, $50
acres for 81 200, 200 acres for $500, 800 acres
for 81 200, 200 acres for $500, 800 acres for
$1,000, 200 for $500, ss5 for $1.a5O, 6s5 for
$1,000, $50 for 5000, etc., etc. The eommis-
siener in charge says: "Thsse are unoeeupied
farms, and have been reported by the select
naen Of the various towns to have fairly COM
Portable buildings" He says further that
''in most instances these farms have not been
abandoned because the soil has besome ex-
hausted, or from the lack Of natural fertility,
but from various causes appearing In the So
cial and economic history of the State"
Young men do not need to 60 west. They
can stay east If they have ambition and sner-
gy enough.

A REAL REFORNIER,

Some of the civil service rsforners have
tried hard to make it appsar that President
Harrison is persistent and fagrant disre-
gardsr of the reform. These asousers have
been fitly rsbukea by the Civil Service
Chronicle, which has said that the President
Is good deal Of rsformsr. And now
comes the Washington correspondent of the
Eoston Journal and says, on the authority of
gentleman having close relations to the ad-
ministration, that these questions are always
considered in connection with appointments:
Is the applicant clean and honest mani
Are his associations such that his appoints
ment will reflect credit ON the administra-
tiona
IL he best known among the bummsrs OF
among the business men?
Is he identified with an honorable pursuit
or with . ram shopa
Ii he connected with tho lobby and likely
to use his position to promote jobberya
Has he ever been engaged In any enter
prisse, the exposure of which would bring
disgrace upon the adninistrations Has he
outstanding any obligation which 1t would
embarrass the administration to have brought
to the light
Is he man Of dignity, or mere political
hustleri
Men picked out in accordance with these
requirements will make quite as good public
officers as any which could be selected by a
system invented by ultra civil service re-
formers or Democrats.

The movement to form an Afro-American
league has taken shape in the call issued by
T. Thomas Fortune, . well known young
eolersd man Of New York city, for the coll
orsd citizens to meet in national convention
in Nashville, January 15, 1890. In his prs-
amble Mr.. Fortune says: Being convinced
that the time Is ripe for the organization Of
the National Afro-Amerioan league, pro-
posed by me two years ago, to successfully
combat the denial of our constitutional and
inherent rights, SO generally denied or
abridged throughout the republic, and being
urged to do SO by members of branch leagues
all over the country, I, with much reluctance,
issue call to all the branches of tho Afro
American league and invite all clubs and So
eieties organized to secure the rights denied
the race to meet by their representatives in
national convention.
A useful application of the telephone to
military, railroad and other purposes has
been effected by firm of telegraph engi-
neers in Berlin. This apparatus is contained
in case 10 inches long by inches wide and
8 inches deep, which, for general purposes.
is slung by strap in front of the user. The
case contains dry cell battery, a magnetic
bell and an induction call In some
instances where It is desirable that the sound
of the bell should not be heard, the Neef
hammer is substituted for it, and is used as
means of calling attention between the
communicating parties. The case also con-
tains combined receiving and transmitting
apparatus, which is fitted with microphons
as transmistsr, the apparatus being con-
veniently made for application to the ear and
mouth. ;, For field purposes an outpost
equipped with the apparatus proceeds to the
front, his telephone.being in communication
by a wire with that of the field walsh, the
latter being again in communication with
