The newspaper pays better wages, en-
ploys more skilled labor, invests more
capital, takes greater risks on its invest
ment than any other commercial enter
prise, remarks Thomo Burton in the
Youngstown (Ol Independent. 1t does
more gratuitous work, expends more
brains and cash, probono-pu for
which it receives less returns. both in way
of honest recognition and money, than
any other business proposition. The
manufacturers, the banks, the employers
and the employees, all expect the newspaper
to blow the city horn and pay for the
wind; to encrown the corporation with O
dadem of gorgeous prosperity, having
unrivaled advantages, rosy skies, and to
portray the streets as avenues leading to
luxuriant hsvens of every mans Utopia.
To do all this the editor must have five
dollars a day; the printer from three to
four dollars; the proof-reader two or three
dollars; the pressman and his assistants
eight to ten dollars; the landlord, the
machinist the fuel-men, the paper deal
ers, the mailing clerks, the carriers, each
and all, good living salaries-all of which
are promptly paid in all honest offices,
conducted by honorable journalists, every
week
The newspaper owner invests in the
plant, and from his personal resources
meets all these expenses. His manager,
in person or by deputy, calls on the mer-
chant, the manufacturer, the employing
mechanic, and solicits advertising sup.
port. The benefits from the advertising
are mutual, but the advertiser, in many
cases, while profting doubly from his
minor investment, almost invariably as
sumes to believe the money he pays for
advertising is sort of taxa gratuity on
his part. Others, with a toploftical
vacuity and an essential asininity
born of egotistical stupidity that
renders them serenely complacent
where good, old-fashioned, thistle
chewing Mexican jackass would blush in
conscious confusion, declare that the pa.
pers are an injury to the town! That they
publish private matters, such a thing as
getting drunk and abusing his family, etc,
etc. ''Confound the papers, anyhow"
"Money paid for advertising is worse than
throwed away" THE people know me,
and il they want my goods they'll come
and get them" ''The papers amt no good,
How we do wish all the newspapers in
the country could so on strike for one
single month, just to see if these offspring
of fossilized aniu.alc1le are susceptible of
incubation with the virus Of human prog.

WHERE MY MOTHER PLAYED.

hear the notes of the whippoorwill
AS OF old in the gathering shade;
sit by the rock on the quiet hill
Where In girlhood my mother played.
With cheeks out-blooming the morning flowers
AND with heart as light as May,
II was here that she came in the golden hours
BY the hchened rock to play
a granite waif, by glacier borne
FROM far-away northern sea;
IL seemed so lonely from kindred torn,
That she kept it company.
Till all in fancy or witching dream
II shone with glimmering light,
While fairies trooped in the moons pale beam.
To dance through the summer night.
And such was her tender grace TO me,
As we wandered the forest wild
That ever the fairies seemed to be
Her playmates when child.
And she Queen Of the Sylphid race
On her silvery throne held sway,
But alas dream Of her girlish face,
And the rock is cold and gray.
For the fairies went when my mother died,
And my years were scarcely ten;
leone tonight from wandering wide,
But they never will come again.
Ilove the garden and the orchard old,
The meadows her footsteps prest:
And the stately oaks that shook their gold
In the lap OF their gentle guest.
love the spring and the ripping rill,
Where in evening she often strayed;
But dearer to me the quiet hill
And the rock where my mother played

The Scenes Along the Thames Livelier Than
for Weeks Past.
LONDON, Sept. 5.-There was a slight
break in the ranks of the employers
this morning. Five wharfngers agreed
to the mems terms and upon their
wharves work is now going on to the
full capacity. AT the other whaTves
men have congregated in large numbers,
ready to go 10 work at a mo ment's
notice, the wharfingers being, so it is
reported, ready to make terms with the
strikers. The aspect OF affairs along the
Thames Is much livelier than for weeks
past The men who have obtained
work contribute one days pay to the
relief fund. John Burns declares that
the dockmen have given the dock COM
panies q crushing blow between wind
and water. Australia has sent $4,000 to
aid the strikers.
The officials of the dock companies
have again called on the police to pro-
tect their men who are at work. The
ship owners made another appeal for
permission to unload ships themselves
but met with refusal. 1t is estimated
that 1000 are now at work on the
wharves.
Burns, in a speech to the dockmen to-
day predicting the success of the strike,
denied that the demands now made were
by no means final, and that when the
dock Ompanies were beaten it wOuld5bot

SAVED JUSTICE FIELD.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT MiIler's Letter Ord en-
ing the Protection of the Justice.
Two Seconds Between Nagle's Pistol and
Spokane Falls, W. T., Postoffce.
Attorney-General Miner's Letter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Following is a
letter from Acknowledgement Miller to
Marshal Franks of California authorizing
him to protect Justice Field and Judge
Sawyer from assault by Judge Terry or
his wife, which was introduced yesterday
in the hearing the case against Depu
ty Marshal Maggie:
WASHINGTON, April 81, 1889.
John G.. Franks, United States Marshal, San
Francisco.
SIR-The proceedings which have here
tOfore been had in connection with the
case of Mr.. ana Mrs. Terry in your
United States circuit court have become
a matter of public notoriety, and I deem
it my duty to call your attention to the
propriety of exercising unusual caution
in case further proceedings
shall be had in that case for
the protection of his honor,
Justice Field or whoever may be called
upon to hear and determine the matter.
OF course 1 do not know what may be
the feelings or purposes of Mr.. and Mrs.
Terry in the premises, but things have
happened to indicate that violence on
their part may not be impossible. 1t Is
due to the dignity and independence of
the court and the character of its judges
that no effort on the part of the govern
ment shall be spared to make them feel
entirely safe and free from anxiety in
the discharge of their high duties. You
will understand, of course, that this let
ter is not tor the public, but to put you
upon your guard. 1t will be proper for
you to show it to the district attorney if
you think best. Yours truly,
W. II. II. MILLER,
Attorney General.
Subsequently Marshal Franks asked
and was granted permission to employ
special deputies to protect the judges. In
his official report to the department, I'M
der date of August 81, Marshal Franks
saws that in obedience to instructions OF
the department he had constantly exer-
cised the utmost caution for the protec-
ton of Justice Field and Judge Sawyer
from violence by d. S. Terry and wife.
OF the assault i'll the dining room at
Lathrop Marshal Franks says that Terry
struck Justice Field twice before Deputy
Marshal Maggie inUerfered. He
continues: FTerry was man
of very large physique and of
great strength. His passions were ap-
parently beyond his own control, and he
was armed with knife, a weapon which
he himself declared he had habituallv
carried for thirty years. Maggie is a man
of slight build, and he well knew Ter
ry's violent character and skill with
weapons When he saw reason to be-
lieve Terry SO far from being deferred by
official warning to stop. was desperately
determined to take the life of Justice
Field and his (Nag1e's) own life, Nagle
prevented it in the only way any reason
able person conversant with the facts
could have done. 1t will be clearly
shown that there were not two seconds
between Justice Field s life and the shot
from Nagle's pistol that saved it.

BOYS IN BLUE.

No man has worked harder to make
the reunion a success than has Capt.
Golf, who is one of the staunchest wear
ers of the blue that ever shouldered a
1nusket. He established headquarters
for the Union soldiers, pitching his tents
among the gray tents and hanging the
stars and stripes at the door He has
stTiven hard to have the blue boys all
register, but they have been slow
about doing so, and the roster up
to last night did not nearly represent the
number of Union soldiers present. They
have been mixing with the grays all
the time and becoming acquainted at
close quarters with the men with whom
they were exchanging leaden compli-
ments some twenty-five years ago.

many men were killed as at Waterloo .
