Harper's Magazine Delayed.

hArp6F maSastHo Oelhyeus
On account OF an unforeseen delay
in the presentation of Across the
Andes"-the first of an important
series of papers on South America
the publication of H0aper'S Magazine
for September has been postponed to
August 26. The South American tour
recently made by Theodore Child,
under the auspices of Hdgper'S Mag
0zja1e, may be regarded as one of the
most important journalistic enter
prises of the present year. The series
of articles resulting from this tour
will embody Mr.. Child's personal ex-
periences and observations, and will
contain maps and numerous illustra-
tions by the best American artists.
The illustrated supplement to HGr-
per's Weekly for August 81 will con
tain a timely article on Cycling in
the United States by F. z. Prial.
In the same number will appear a
portrait of Rudyard Kipling, together
with a critical estimate of his writ
ings by Andrew Lang.
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
September.
The citizen soldier has the place of
honor in Frank LeSlie's Popular
Monthly for September, the frontis-
piece OF which is a fine equestrian
portrait of Colonel Daniel Appleton,
Seventh Regiment, N. G. s. N. Y,
The paper, by Lieutenant a. G..
Sharpe, q. s. A., On "The National
Guard of the United States" is the
most concise, comprehensive and in
teresting illustrated magazine article
on this subject ever published. Will
lam Hosea Ballou gives a graphic
description of 1.-THE Great Cotton
Belt" Captain ]. s. Payne's thrill
ing article, campaigning with
Crook" embodies a tribute to the
great Indian fighter, and is a valu-
able contribution to contemporary
history. Other tsmely and beauti-
fully illustrated articles, such as
Florence and the Beatrice-D Dante
Festival; 1.-THE Green Vaults of Ores
den," by Mrs. Schuyler Van Rens-
selaer; '"The Adirondacks as they

The grape crop in Monmouth county has been

rose bugs, and a small black worm, that the

RAILROAD STRIKES AND THE PUBLIC
From Harper's weekly

FROM H0TperS WeeHLD.
If intelligent men who are employed
in any capacity upon a railroad think
that they are justified in producing
quasi-anarchy in any community be-
cause they may have a just grievance,
they hold views which are fatal to all
social order. They may not see it,
but what they propose as a remedy
for an alleged grievance is a They
do notdefy a railroad company. They
challenge the whole community of
intelligent, industrious, and law
abiding citizens, who are the over
whelming body of the American people.
Public sentiment in this country is
not peculiarly favorable to great COR
porations, or inimical to those who
live by wages. The vast majority of
the people live by wages, and upon
any plain statement of wrong to rail-
road hands, or any other wage work.
ers, the pressure of. public sympathy
is with them. Railroad companies
have no right to regard themselves as
engaged in IN exclusively private
business. They are bound to act with
regard to the probable effect of
their action upon the public, IRON
whom they have received franchises,
and with whom they have made q
contract. There is a similar obliga-
ton upon the employees of the road.
Both company and employees have
assumed duties to, the public which
they cannot honorably disregard.
This is a truth which was neve SO
clearly perceived as now and never
more emphasized in the public mind
than by the late Central strike.

Gracious no. When DR.. Pangborn

We Furnish the News; the Others
Steal It.
THE JERSEY Cry NEWS absolutely
furnishes a good half of all the news
Of the State that is published any
where throughout the country. We
find our items rehashed and redressed
in newspapers of every degree of pre-
tension. Nearly all the local news in
the so-called New Jersey edition of
the.New York World is stolen directly
from our columns, and if the thefts of
theother New York papers are less in
degree it is only because they max 9
less pretence of covering the Jersey
field.
Of course the piracy of the rural
Jersey press is too notorious to call
for more than passing notice. With
Newark editors all is fish that comes
to their net. Philadelphia, too, does
her share of piracy. The Press Of
that city yesterday republished one of
our editorials, published a day or two
ago, poin ting out the inconsistency of
the envelope feature of the Ballot
Reform bill. This morning it re-
produced our interview with Cover
nor Albeit, in which he pronounced
the error a mere slip of the e~ngrossing
clerk, and expressed the opinion that
it would have no practical effect on
the working of the bill. Both o fthese
stolen articles are presented to the
readers of the Press in the deceptive
form of special dispatches from Tren-
ton.
The statement made through
columns by Congressman McAdoo
touching his attitude on the renom-
ination question had a similar export
ence. 1t was copied by almost every
paper in the United States, except
the Eoening Journal, which does not
know a good thing when it sees it.
So far as we could discover, not one
M
solitary paper had the honesty to
give The News credit for an article
which was as exclusively its property
as the headline Of thespaper.
We bear no malice about these
things. We only speak of them for
the public information.
THERE seems to be a concentrated
effort on the part of the Republican
element in Congress to insult and in
irlre New York. The principal evil

Boring for Honey.

A successful boring for honey has been
made in north Tennessee. For many
years swarns Of bees have been noticed
by boatmen at Fox Bluff, on the Cum
berland river, near Franklin, KY. The
bluff is 40 feet high, and the rivers
channel runs directly under it. The bees
have been observed about a big fssure
knear the center Of the bluf, and the
sopening could not be reached from above
or below without great danger of being
stulg to death. As the bees had never
been robbed, it was thought large
amount Of honey was stored in the cliff.
Recently q wei borer named Starks vis-
ited the bluff and was at once impressed
with the idea that he could reach the
wonderful honey s1orenousa with his
drill. After some coazlig 10 persuaded
4 number O farmers t. undergo the ex-
pense. az2l tnrea iach hole was bored
from the top of the bla@ At q depth of
eishty-fve feet the drill struck the
honey. According 10 d dispatch barrels
and tubs by the score wee flied and
carried of to neiga boring farms, and
