1t Was a Woman.

A prominent lawyer of this city tells
wonderful story, which proves that
there are some honest people in the
world. Many years ago he was at
torney for firIa ;nat went into bank
ruptcy. The creditors were obliged TO
be satisfied with a settlement at a
small amount on the dollar, and the
members of the firm were almost re-
duced to perjury. A month ago the at
torney received communication, In
which the writer stated that he wiah-
ed to repay All indebtpess to the bank
rupt firm which he had contracted a
year or two before the calamity. The
whole with interest amounted TO 81 900
The writer stipulated that the amount
should be distributed among the cred
tors of the firm. An examination of
the books of the defunct firm failed to
discover any obligation entered against
the w ritter of the letter. and no evil
dence that he had become indebted to
the firm could be found. Neverthe-
less he insisted on turning the money
over. People to whom the lawyer had
related the above. marveled greatly at
1t; but the other day the lawyer re-
marked that it was not so wonderful
after all as the debtor was a woman

A Big Mistake SonleW here.

The labor riot that occurIe in Du-
Iuth last week was probably the most
severe that the history of industrial
dis turbances in this country can show.
The difficulty sprung out of a question
of wages, a strike having beeu organ
lied to secure better psy, and eventu-
ally the complication extended until
thousands OF laborers became involv-
ed, force icing resorted to by the strik-
ers, which nece ssitated the interference
of the police and the military. On
Saturday it was estimated that 25 900
people were engaged in the disturb
ance, firearms were freely used, thou
sands of shots were fired, with the
bloody result of list of killed and
wounded,
All this trouble grew out of a de-
mand of wOrkingmen for better wages.
Is there not something strange in this?
Better wages! Why, wasn't it only
last fall that it was determined by the
result of the election that the working
people should have plenty of work and
nig pay? Wasn't this promised by
those who got so many of them to vote
for Harrj>on and the great American
protective system?
Did not Minnesota, where this Du-
iuti INV lcCoIu NoIo III
favor of the Republican candidate, a
high tariff and a consequent prosper
Gus condition of the working people?
Isn't it strange that under such cir
cumstances labor is striking for better
pay and the police and military are
called upon TO keep it in subsection?
Surely there must be some mistake in
this matter.--Bellefonte (Pa.) Watch

One of the heaviest storms that has
been felt in the Southeast for years,
visited Pennington last Sunday after
noon. A terrific roaring was heard
for some time before the rain fell.
The cyclone cloud passed over the
lower part of town. The roof of Gies-
sings warehouse was torn off and car
ried some distance. Large. hickory
aud maple trees were twisted and
broken, and the roads are filled with
broken limbs. The tin roof of Robert
Tetley's two-story brick house was torn
loose and rolled back, carrying tn e
chimney with it. The lower story is a
jewelry store and the upper floor is
used as a dwelling. The entire floor
was flooded and great damage done to
the furniture. The rain fell in torrents
for about an hour. and doors and win
dows were no protection, for the wind
blew the rain under the doors, and wet
che carpets and floors in every honse
in town. Reports from the country
show great damage to the crops and
fruit trees.

The Boston Advertiser wants to
know, III its heavy way. why the rev.
enue-refOrmers and the free-traders
call aloud for free wool, free ium Der.
ect., and yet object to free sugar, when
the expense per capita for sugar is
greater than for any other imported
article. The answer is that nearly all
of the tax on raw sugar goes into the
public treasury, while the tax on wool.
lumber, and most of the protected ar
ticies goes chiefly into the pockets of
private individuals, besides having the
effect to cripple home industry, and
more particularly New England ILL
slustry, enhancing the cost of raw ma
terials. We presume that verybody
i'm the country knows this except the
Advertiser. But the revenue-reform-
ers are generally in favor of a reduc-
ton of the duties on raw sugar, since
they consider tax equal to 10 per
cent, on an article of universal use
unjust to the poorer classes. We do
not think that the revenue reformers
care much noaU for the fact that a total
repeal of the sugar duties would wipe
out the annual surplus, or nearly so.
Last year that fact was of some impor-
lance, because the surplus itself was
the chief object of attention. How to
get rid of it was the problem of the
hour, but is not so now. The present
problem is how to get rid ofoppressive,
swlndling, and hurtful taxes. That
question is quite independent of the
surplus. 1t would be quite as impor-
tant If there were no surplus, but, on
the contrary, notwithstanding Post.

We find the following in last Mon
days Washington dispatches: "There
is some proba bility that Chas. f.
Wenneker will be appointed Collector
of Internal Revenue for the ST. Louis
District. In case K. w. Weber fails
to secure the place it is likely that he
will be the next Republican nominee
for congress in the Tenth District.
Weber's family is strong Repuhlican
one, that fought for Republican, sm in
Southeastern Missouri when it requir-
ed courage to do 80. His father was a
member of every Republican National
Committee from Grants time and the
appointment of K. w. Weber is the
first thing they or thsir friends ever
asked. Young Weber cansmake things
very interesting if he is SO disposed.
His hackers number most of the Rep

and they say Mr.. Kinsey promised to
support Mr.. Weber for Internal Rev

Since the first day of June the COM
missions of one Washington pension
agent from the district embraced in the
Topeka pension agency have amount
ed to $4,000. If Corporal Tanner and
his assistants are let alone for few
months they will etfectually abolish
discussion over the "surplus" for
years to come. The glaring frauds
and wholesale thieyery now daily aid
ed and abetted in the Pension Bureau
is an outrage of such enormity that de-
Inands the removal of all concerned
therein. If the "powers that be'' at
Washington were half so conscientious
as they pretend to be the bouncing
would have occurred long ago.

Upon his appointment few weeks
ago, the EUening Post expressed its
"great satisfaction to find that the new
Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Gen.
Thomas J. Morgan, is highly spoken OF
by those who know him." and quoted
with pleasure the remark Of the Provi-
.ience journal tn at he "has had eXper-
fence in educational work and a speci-
al acquaintance with Indian affairs,
which will admirably qualify him for
the very important and responsible pc
stion.' 1t was therefore n great and
disagreeabIe surprise to find shortly
after that serious charges were made
against Mr.. Morgan's character. The
story, as published by the NeU York
Times, represented that in 1865, when
Colonel ofthe Fourteenth United States
Cnlored infantry, he was court-martia.-
led and found guilty of making false
charges against another officer, of hav-
ing Kept back recommendations of a
fellow officer for advancement, while
forwarding some for himself, and of
making false muster-rolls for certain
companies in his regiment for his own
personal advantage. He was sen
fenced to dismissal from the service,
but this sentence was set aside at de-
partment headquarters on the ground
that the cOurt-martial could not change
the sentence prescribed for such Of
lenses as that of the first charge, the
Fifteenth Article of War requiring
that the officer found guilty thereof
should be cashiered, and thereby dis
qualified from holding any office in the
service of the United states. These
charges were made a number of days
ago, and Mr.. Morgan's long silence
has produced a most unfavOrable inn
preston. He has at last submitted
defence which is far from satisfactory.
He admits the truth of the charges on
which he was court-martialed, but
pleads that he twas only twenty-fOur
years old" and was wholly without eX-
perience in such work. He does not,
however, cay anything about the fact
that in September, 1864, he brought
Lieut., Col. Fl. c. Corbin to trial fof dis
obedience of orders and for neglect of
duty, and that Corbin was acquitted
of both charges; nor about the fact
that in March, 1865: he accused and
brought to trial, upon charges of cow
ardice, ptsferrel and sworn to by HIM
self. the same LieGt.-ttol, II. &. Corbin,
aud that instead of finding Corbin
and that instead of finding Corbin gull
ty and sentencing him to be shot, the
court "most honOrably acquitted" him,
and found Morgan's chief supporting
witnesses guilty of false swearing.
After all that he says in excuse, the
records put Mr.. Morgan 10 tho position
of having twice falsely accused a
brother officer, and once for an offence
that was punishable with death, and
that he was once tried. found guilty,
and sentenced by the unanimous vote
Of court-martial, and only escaped

eous sentence. = man with such
record ought not to hold tie iespoasi-

REVIEW OF PORTLAND WHOLESALE MARKET

FOR THE WEEK ENDING May %.
There are but few new features to note in the
wholesale market this week. Values generally
have been fairly steady, with an easier feeling at
the close on Breadstuffs and Provisions. Flour Is
in moderate demand and buyers have the adyan-
tage; on some brands slight drop in prices will
be noticed. The speculative operations in Wheat
during the week have been rather light and val
ues have ruled easy. Pork and Lard are weak
with prices tending downward Hogs have de-
clincd about Is cents per 100 pounds in leading
markets compared with week ago; Western
packing returns aggregate 245,oo0 hogs for the
week against 190,pU0 last week, aud 19o, 900 for
the corresponding time last year. Csffee is steady
and firm for most grades. Sugar is strong and
full prices are obtained. Moasses Is without i'm
portant change but the feeling is that prices will
go higher stock In the four ports at latest dates
was 2225 hogsheads against 5493 hogsheads In
1888 and 416l hogsheads in 1887. rhe demand
for Fresh Beef is less active, but fair business

iM,rAroRs AND IMposrERs,

The unequaled success of ALLcocK's Porous
PLAsTERs as an external remedy has stimulat-
ed INSCRIPTIONS parties to put forth limitations,
which they endeavor to sell ON the reputation of
ALLcocK's. 1t is an absurdity to speak of them
In the same category as the genuine and original
porous plaster. Their pretensions are unfound-
ed, their vaunted merit unsupported by facts,
their alleged superiority to or equality with ALL
COCKS a false pretence.
The ablest medical practitioners and chemists
and thousands of grateful patients unite in de-
claring ALLcocK's POROUS PLAsTERs the best
external remedy known.
The other day couple of little girls went to a
physicians office in Toronto to be vaccinated.
One OF them undertook TO speak for the other,
and explained:
doctor, this is my sister, She is too young to
know her left arm from her right, so mamma
washed both OF them."
