A HOPELESS HOPE.

The United States senate is much
derided body. In ridicue it is spoken
of as ''the Millionaires' club" and the
lodging place for political bosses. In a
measure this ridicule is just, and yet
there are some things about the senate.
as now constituted, that are worthy of
the best days of its renown. The de-
bates of this session have been of an
exceptionally high order, and while
some of the speeches have been long
winded. they were replete with inf0r-
nation and argument. 1t Is true, men
of the QUAY and WAsHBURN type have
not participated in these discussions.
They are the men who make the senate
the subject of ridicule and derision, and
if they could be chained down to their
seats for few days they might gain
some information that would be valua
bic to them. But QUAY is too busy
with Pennsylvania politics, and WASH
BURN too much occupied besmirching
st. Paul at the census bureau, to avail
themselves of their opportunity to &C
ouire lessons in craftsmanship.
Still there is contingent of brainy
men in the senate who reflect credit on
American craftsmanship. fhe speeches
that have been male by MORGAN, Of
Alabama, GEORGE, of Mississippi;
EDMUNDs. of Vermont; VEST, of Mis-
sour; EvARTs, of New York; GRAY,
of Delaware, and INGALLS,, of Kansas,
compare favorably with the debates in
that body during the thirty years that
Tom BENTON was member. There
can be no more polished eloquence than
DAN VOORHEES, occasionally gets Off.
The silver speech of Senator JONES was
a bonanza mine of knowledge on the
subject to which it related. By one
speech. so thorough and able in its ex-
posure of PowELL's irrigation scheme,
Senator SPooNER induced the senate by
the invincible force of his argument to
abandon the whole business when it
seemed to be in fair way to pass.
1t is encouraging to know that there
is a little leaven of craftsmanship left
in the senatorial lump. 1t has all been
squeezed out of the lower house by
REEDS gag law. The fact that there is
still little of it left in the upper branch
of congress is the reason why the hopes
of the country are fixed OH that body
for defeat of the MCKINLEY tariff
measure and the LODGE force bill.
Yet, in ali frankness, we must say that
in our opinion there is not enough of
reserved craftsmanship anywhere III
the federal administration to avert the
dangers which lie concealed in those
two measures. The mandate of the
caucus is the powerful agency relied on
to override craftsmanship, and it is too
often effective for the good of Ameri-
can institutions.

THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN.

The statement is made by the intelli-
gent colored educators from the South
who have recently visited this section,
that the present and growing DISPOSE
ton of the masses of their race is to fol-
low the leadership of the teachers and
educators rather than the politicians.
The notion that their good things are to
come through the ballot box is dis
counted as the capital of ignorant and
reckless partisanship. A very signifi-
cant illustration of the change taking
place is found in the recent speech of
ISAIAH Z. MONTGOMERY, who was the
trusted servant of JEFFERSON DAVIS,
and one of the most esteemed and
intelligent cOiored Republicans. He
spoke under the auspices of the
Republican committee. He advo-
Gated for his state ga wise linz
itation of the suffrage" to allay ''un-
grounded fears of negro supremacy"
Hedwelt strongly upon the need of
kindly and pleasant relations with the
whites in the interest of the blacks,
and deprecated any action that would
produce animosity and distrust. The
suffrage qualification proposed in that
state is educational, such as is had in
Massachusetts and other Eastern states.
The convention to revise the constitu-
ton is expected to adopt this require
ment as the most available relief from
the present embarrassment. This will
apply to whites as well as blacks, and
disfranchise about one-fourth of the
whites and three-fourths of the negroes.
This is a matter in the control of the
states. In Mississippi it would proba
bly, secure the freedom of the ballot to
all who met the requirement, and re-
Iieve the distress some feel over the re-
puted methods in vogue there.

REsoRTING TO VIOLENCE.
Striking Mill Men at McKeesport
Mob 18acksliders.

MCKEEsPoRT, Pa, July 20. = The
state of affairs at the National rolling
mill is growing serious. Some of the
strikers have returned to work. This
has incensed those who are still out to
such an extent that they are resOrting
to violence. James Jackson started for
the mill this morning. He was terribly
beaten and abused and chased home by
mob of strikers. John Moran's
house was surrounded, and stones
and bullets were fired through the
windows. Whens Moran started for
work to-day he was followed by a howl
ing mob with clubs. Moran pulled a
revolver, but was arrested and locked
up. Three of his ASSISTANTS were also
arrested. The company's officials claim
that more than half the men wish to
go to work, but are prevented by few
ringleaders. They now propose fight
ing the strike to finish. and are ar
ranging for the protection of all the
men who desire to go to work. a spe-
cial police force was sworn in tonight,
and proclamation was issued by the
burgess, commanding the rioters to keep
the peace. The sheriff has also been
called upon, and will detail squad of
deputies to assist the local police force.

TO A sOUBRETTE

IT'S years. soubrette, since last we met;
And yet, ali, yet how swift and tender
My thoughts go back in times dull track
TO you, sweet pink of female gender
I shall not say, though others may,
That time all human joy enhances;
But the same old thrill comes to me still
With memories of your songs and dances.
Soubrettish ways these latter days
Invite my praise, but never get it;
l Still am true TO yours and you;
My record made; I'll not upset it.
The pranks they play, the things they say,
I'd blush to put the like on paper
And I'll avow they don't know how
To dance, SO awkwardly they caper.
used to sit down in the pit
And see you fit like elf or fairy
Across the stage, and I'll engage
No moonbeam sprite were half SO airy.
Lo. everywhere about me there
Were rivals reeking with pomatum,
And if perchance they caughta glance
In song or dance, how did hate EN-!
At half-past ten came rapture: then
Of all those men was most happy.
For wine and things and food for kings
And tete-a-fetes were on the tapiS.
Do you forget my fair soubfette
Those suppers in the Cafe Rector,
The cosy nook where we partook
OF sWeeter draughts than tabled nee tar?
Oh. happy days when youth wild ways
Knew every phase of harmless folly
Oh, blissful nights whose fierce delights
Deied gaunt-featured Melancholy.
Gone are they all beyond recall
And |. a shade, a mere reflection,
Am forced to feed my spirits greed
Upon the husks of retrospecticn.
And 10. tonight the phantom light
That as a sprite fits on the fender
Reveals face whose girlish grace
Brings buck the feeling. warm and tender
And all the while the old-time smile
Plays OH my visage, grim aud wrinkled,
As though. soubrette. your footballs yet
Upon my rusty heart strings tinsled.

NEWARK, N. j., July elena
Daum, Of Orange. N. j.. twenty-seven
years of age and unmarried, died at
Youngsville. Sullivan county, N. Y, on
Saturday last under circumstances
which, so far as now known,
look very suspicious. The case,
which in Several particulars
resemble that of Annie Goodwin, of
New York, is causing a great deal of
foment in Orange. Miss Daum has
been living as a domestic in the family
of Ezra 81. Snow, on Park street, Orange.
While living there she was occasionally
visited by Frank Rays. former resi-
dent OF Orange, but who owns farm
and runs a summer boarding house
at YOungsyille. July 90 Lena went
on a trip to Youngsville, her family
being cogniZant of the matter and also
of her condition. Last Thursday Mrs.
Herman Linderman, sister of Lena,
received telegram from her stating
that she was sick and asking her to
come to her at once. On Saturday Mrs.
Lindeman received telegram inform
ing her that Lena had died, and
stating that if the body was want
ed to send for it at once. The girl
was buried hurriedly, which aroused
suspicion, and on searching the girls
room at Shows house several damaging
letters from Rays were found which
showed that arrangements. had been
made for an operation. 1t is reported
that another Orange girl, Lena Kraft, is
also at the Rays place in similar con-
dition. MIR. Daum. brother of the de-
ceased, has gone to Youngsville to de-
mand thorough investigation.

rHE GRAND FoRKs FIGHr.

The fight that had its elimination in
the Republican state convention Of
North Dakota at Grand Forks yeSter-
day has been the most Intense of any
that have been known in the Dakotas. 1t
is very nearly black flag warf are.
Most of the men who dominated the ter
ritory before statehood are arrayed on
one side and constitute the sold gang"
as they are generally termed by the
other gang. 1t would be difficult to
find one who has been prominent in
support of the lottery deal who is not
with those wharallied behind Johnson;
yet that is not an accurate division.
JOHNSON himself was regarded as
all anti-lottery man, and his Nor
wegian friends were mostly on that
side. He was the most available
man the old gang could find. OH
account of his nationality and
the general belief that he had
the nomination for senator last winter,
but was cheated out of it. A few
others who were opposed to the lottery
business have fallen in with them. There
is no protrusion of the lottery line on
that side. In fact, the leaders are quite
willing to allow anti-lottery resolutions
to be adopted. Out of Difference to
their supposed sensibility, tits true that
in his own county JOHNSON allowed an
attempt of that sort to die unobserved.
The line is more nearly drawn on pro-
hibition and license. The old gang
and JOHNSON men hold the license vote.
The HANsBRoUGH, MILLER and WIN
SHIP men are unit almost in favor of
the iron-clad law. 1t is part of their
capital. As the thing has been voted
into the constitution and can not in any
event be extirpated or number of
years, it is necessary for some kin d
of a supporting law to be kept
on the books: but the license
men in control will see that it is not
made very troublesome to those who are
opposed to its objects. But the opera
tors in the old gang are more. concerned
about possession OF official things, the
power, than any principle. They have
shown the facile front to all elements,
as st. PAUL suggested, in order to win.
They want to run the band wagon and :
get the other fellows under the wheels.

His Pals in Crime.
New YORK, July 29.-Ex-Ald. Michael
Duffy, of the board of 1884, and lnfOrmer
against the members in the trials for
bribery, was before the superior court
to-day in connection with his sensational
suit to recover larger share of the
Doodle. The matter came up in the
form of an application for examination,
before trial. of John Keenan,, William
Maloney and Robert E. De Lacy. The
examination is asked for in order
that Duffy may be enabled to
frame complaint against keenan,,
whom he charges with having been the
trustee of fund of $500, 900, given by
the Broadway railroad. Judge Dugr0
took the papers and reserved his deci-
sion. The statements made by MI.
Duffy as to the nature OF the fund are
indefinite and unsatisfactory character.
He gives it as his understanding, how
ever, that the money has been largely
invested in Canadian real estate. The
eX-alderman admits that of the amount
due him he has received at one time
S.. 900, and at other times sums making
in all $4,000. In conclusion Duffy says
that the nature of the agreement has
been concealed in order to keep the
trust inviolate and that the action is
brought in the interest OF morality,
equality and justice.

GOT IN SOME FINE WORK.
The City Clerk of an Illinois Town
Short $4,000.

'
PARIS, ILL.,, July 29.-Albert Geoghe-
gan, the city clerk of Paris, ILL.,, is miss
ing. He is short officially, and by his
connection with a bank until year
ago, between $1,000 and $4,000. His
stealing while in the employ of the
bank was accomplished by failing
to turn over to that institution
the amount of small notes when
they were paid off. and as the amount
of such notes did not appear in the cash
receipts of the date the book would bal
ance at night. But when the stubs of
the tickets which it is custom Of the
institution to place with the amount Of
each note paid were checked up, the
shortage would show up, but who got it
was the problem with the officials. His
robbery. of the city treasury was done by
duplicating and raising city orders.
Frequently in the last two years
he has walked into business
houses and thrown down large
bill in payment for something
costly he had purchased, and said as he
did so: ''lt was just like finding it: I
made that in a little deal not an hour
ago." He has also been in the habit of
whispering it, generally to polite
friends, whom he thought he could
trust with secret, that it cost as much
to get the Office of city clerk as the Of
flee was worth, but would add: ''If
fellow is schemer, It's nice. fat
thing" His family are still in the city.
and his wife is Frustrated with grief
over the dilemma into which he has
so suddenly fallen. 1t is understood
that an effort will be made to bring him
to justice for his wholesale appropria-
ti0n of public and private funds. Two
years ago Geoghegan was elected city
clerk and last spring was reelected to
the same Office by an increased major
ity. During the last two years he has
built a fine residence, furnished it ex-

CRUSHED TO A PULP.
Three Children Killed by the Mod
ern Juggernaut.

PATERSON. n. j., July pa horri-
BILE slaughter occurred on the Erie rail-
road bridge over the Passaic river at 6
O'Clock this evening. Five children, re-
turning from blackberry expedition
into Bergen county, started to cross the
bridge on their way to River street,
where all resided in large tenement
When nearly across the bridge, which
is without rail or foot path, the children
saw train approaching on the west
bound track. They stepped upon
the east-bound track to es-
cape, but failed to notice
a fast passenger train which just then,
with whistle screaming, came rushing
toward them. Escape was impossible,
unless they jumped into the river fifty
feet below. The children were par
alyzed with fear, and crouched to-
gether directly before the approaching
train. The engineer saw them, but
dare not apply the brakes too suddenly.
as that course might have sent the train
through the bridge. 1t was an awful
river shouted to the children to get be-
tween the tracks, but their cries were
useless. In an instant the heavy
little ones and hurled three of
them upon the other track dead.
The engineer was almost overcome at
the appalling sight. He had strength
enough left, however, to stick to his
post and stop the train as soon as it had
crossed the trestle. The passengers
left the cars to ascertain the cause of the
stoppage of the train, and strong men
and women felt a sickly feeling creep
ing over them as the remains of three
slaughtered children met their gaze.
Jennie Drews. aged thirteen; Nellie
Warren, aged ten, and Minnie Warren,
her sister, aged eight. were dashed to
death. Jane Warren, aged thirteen,
was frightfulIy injured, and Willie
Warren was hurled into the river, where
he was found alive in about foot of
water The Warren children all be-
longed to the same family. The two
injured children will probably recover.

CLEVELAND, o., July 29.-Anton
Nowak, molder, and his wife, have
not lived together for three years. No
wax boarded in SaWtelle avenue, in this

A deep gully separates the two streets.
Early this morning Nowak dressed in
his best suit of clothes, went to the
brow of the hill above the gully and lay
in wait for his wife. She appeared
about Z O'Clock, being on her way to her
days work. Nowak drew revolver as
she approached and fired. The bullet
entered the woman's head, below the

right temple and fired second shot.
His death was instantaneous. The
woman died two hours later at st. Vim
