operations have been paralyzed by the
strikes of unpaid soldiers-generally of the
mercenary class-just as the police work of
London was suspended this week. 1t took
manv generations to learn that the founda-
ton of all military strength was the preser-
walton of the tealty and discipline of the
private soldiers, and the punishment of
officers whose incapaclty or tyranny drove
them to mutiny.
The London policemen deserve credit for
their prompt recognition of the fact that
their course was leading toward lawlessness.
But the Government will not be equally
enlightened unless it shows on its part an
equal perception that the arbitrary policy
which aliensted the loyalty OF the police
men is also destructive of the basis of disci-

MICHIGAN will not lack for plenty of
tickets this year. The Patrons of Industry the
Farmers Alliance the Union Labor party and
the Prohibitionists will all hold separate con-
ventions for the nomination of State officers
this month. This creates a prospect that there
will be such splitting up of dissentient votes
that the old parties will be able to retain their
relative strength. The best way to unite the in
dependent element is, as has been done in this
State for one OF the parties to nominate can
didate who personally represents independence

would be ballot reform to open the gates to
the revival of the old abuses, far worse than
any existing at present.

The recent finding of 246 indictments for
liquor selling in violation of the local prohibi-
tory law of Admission, Ala, which, by the last
census, had but 942 inhabitants, is regarded by
the New York Sun as indicating ''either that
prohibition is dead failure in Admission, or
that the town has grown amazingly during the
last ten years." The latter is undoubtedly the
case, as is shown both by the fame of Admission
and the fact that one liquor saloon to less than
four Inhabitants would be an almost lmpossl-
BILE proportion. But does not the return of 246
indictments show that the prohibitory law in
that town is going for offenders in way that
sets an example to some Northern cities?

OVER A BOUQUET.
oFair as you are, GEAR, - he said
"Fresh as you,n replied the maid.

a so often happens in the midst of very hot
weather a series of wonderful sunsets is
being vouchsafed to us. Last night came down
after an overture of superb color. Half an
hour before sunset mass of slate-gray clouds
rose slowly up from the west. Behind this cur
tain the sun sank out of sight, and the day.
light seemed to be waning fast The average
man said prophetically that storm might be
expected in ten minutes. AS usual the average.
man was wrong. No storm came, but in ten
minutes there came on a sudden blaze of
ruddy light from the Western horizon. The
sun had found weak spot in the barrier of
cloud, an open window through which to pour
a parting volley of dazzling beams at the
scorched earth.
1t was change in ten seconds from twilight
to broad day; the shadows were black again,
roof or two glowed golden, and woodpecker
sitting alone on the limb of a lifeless tree was
transformed into bird of paradise, while the
magical flood of sunbeams santed from the
West. AS for the sky itself it was on fire in
moment. The edges of the lowest clouds
caught fire first, and then across the gray
ffoated sparks and wreaths of flame. From
fire the color fell to softer tones; pale salmon,
primrose and sulphurous gray. By this time
the sun had fallen behind the palisade of
wooded hills; lone line of emerald sky
merged with the golden rear-guard of the day,
and the gray clouds bit by bit grew black. For
an hour after this the Western SKY wore the
tawny colors of its lord, and the promise of
rain melted away beneath the cold supercilious
stare of a waning moon.
THE leading London reviews for June contain
articles from the pens of leading theatrical
people on the actor-manager system in reply to
an attack on the same in a recent number of

expressed their views in print.
MIR. Irving says on this subject: II make no
attempt to argue the question as to the right
and proper people to become managers OF thea

decide for themselves. Ispeak from an expert

and can say, without hesitation, that the man

our calling, and added vastly to the intellectual
recreation of the people, have been those of

Managers.
THE sharp competition among the manufac-
turers of chewing tobacco is inducing them
to adopt the oldest devices to procure trade
A very curious premium plug was shown to me
yesterday. The plug of chewing tobacco was
rolled into the shape of a rather thick pen
holder-about the size of'the cork ones-and at
one end lead pencil protruded from the plug.
The double purpose of the plug fits it peculiarly
for all men who use pencils and like chew of
tobacco. The economy of time and energy which
it would secure to some industrious scribes and
chewers should make the pencil-plug popular.
But it is not on sale in Pittsburg. The sample
shown to me came from New England.

Our Large Prison Formulation.

THE Western State Penitentiary is situated
four miles from Allegheny City, 1t is an
exceedingly large and substantial building, with
modern improvements, including extensive
workshops for manufacturing purposes. Mr.. E.
8. Wright is the efficient warden. They have
enlarged the penitentiary by adding another
wing, which is nearly finished; the labor OF the
convicts has been utilized in the work. 1t now
contains 757 convcts, who are kept employed in
manufacturing mating, door mats and brooms
on the State account without contract Ihey
are supplied with a large and excellent library,
which is silently doing good work through
the distribution Of its volumes.
Rev. ]. l. Milligan is the earnest and faithful
chanlain. and devotes his whole time to the
beneft of those under his care. He is also
President of the Allegheny Prison Society, to
which the State annually approprlates s. 800
toward the relief of discharged convicts from
this penitentiary.
I was forcibly struck with the large prison
nopulation in Allegheny county in proportion
fo the population, which Is estimated to be
AN OO0. The percentage of prisoners far ex-
ceeds that of Maryland, and the work may be
attributed in part to the very efficient work of
the MARYLAND Prisoners Aid Association IN its
timely aid and watchful care over discharged
nrisoners and convicts, which prevents them
from commencing renewal OF crime or going
hack to their former haunts of vice.
