The story which is told of Congress-
man-elect Steward, of Illinois, 10 the
effect that every year he takes all the
children of his village (PlanO) to the
circus which comes nearest to that viii
lage is a true story, but there are others
equally true which show the character
of the man fully as well. In 1880 or
1882 the Greenbackers of Illinois nomin-
ated Steward for Governor and the Dem
ocrats thought it would be good idea
to endorse the nomination. According
" the Chairman of the State Central
Committee took run down TO Plano 10
see the eccentric Lew. At the house
the Chairman was told that he would
find Steward down in the grove. This
grove, by the way, is embraced in con-
siderable estate owned by Steward, and
is kept exclusively for picnic parties
and camp meetings, the owner making
no charge for the use of the beautiful
grounds. When the Chairman reached
a small stream that runs that runs
through the grove he saw Steward on
the other side chopping down dead
tree. He called TO Steward and told
him who he was.
"Come over" said Steward.
''How'll IgetacroSs, asked the Chair

"Well, can; wait a minute"
In about that time Steward stripped
and plunged into the water with moth

And for an hour he, in that style Of
dress, sat on log with the Chairman OF
the State Central Committee and
planned the campaign.
1t is also related OF him that after he
was nominated for Congress the Chair

The Chairman explained that the
money was wanted for legitimate cleo

tickets, etc.

A Test Case.

New YORK, July 27.-Charles O'Con-
nor Hennessey was called to the bar be-
fore Recorder Smith this morning to
plead the Indictment charging him with
misdemeanor. The alleged offense was
his publication in the Evening NelDs, OF
which he is city editor, of the details OF
the execution OF Slocum and Smiler and
the others recently put to death by
electricity at Sing Sing. His counsel
handed up a demurrer, in which 1t is
claimed that the statute under which
the indictment was found is unconsti-
tutional, inasmuch as 1t restraints the
liberty Of the press guaranteed to 1t by
the constitution.

operators ag ain refused TO grant the adj
vance. The appeal concludes: 1.-THE miners
of Alabama are worse treated than those of

Not only have we to compete with
the curse Of convict labor in our mines,
but we are worse treated than the con-
victs we are compelled to work beside, as
they have mining laws to see that they are
protected in health aud limb, and means of
escape by having two openings to all
mines in which they are employed,
while the free miners are prac

representatives of the corporations and

There being many exaggerated reports in re-

the Sanitary Board states officially that there
have been but three cases that have occurred in
the city and its vicinity, one of which is conva-

pest house, and proper steps have been taken to
stamp out the disease. We desire further to
state that nothing shall be left undone that
may be necessary to protect the public.
