DoNNELDY,s MISTAKES,

DONNELLY himself declares that his
great mistake was i'll the selection of his
forum. 81 had supposed" he says,
'that if had brought this action in ST.
Paul l should be confronted by perfect
bulwark of Pioneer Press popularity;
but instead of avoiding a prejudice in
favor of the Pioneer Press, ran hard
against the strange popularity of WILL
IAN King in Minneapolis" And this
is true. According to the Minneapolis
Tribune, the foreman of the jury said
that the verdict will teach outsiders not
to come into Hennepin county to wash
their dirty linen. And another juror
said that it was hard case to sit on, for
the reason that DONNELLY and KING
both have good regulations, and he
could not tell which to believe. What,
pray, does the Sage think of this?
He not only ran hard against the
'strange popularity of WILLIAM KING"
but also against the spotless character
of WILLIAM KING. The jury pays him
the high compliment of declaring that
his own reputation is as good as that of
the defendants chief witness, which is
glory enough for one man. Twelve of
his fellow citizens, at least, vote him of
as blameleSs life as that sublime patriot
who went to Canada not for his own
good, but to shield his friends from
calumny. But in conflict of veracity
between witnesses so evenly matched
in lofty sentiments and cleanliness of
fingers the task of decision was pain
full one. DoNNELLY is right in saying
that he made a mistake when he Sc
lected Minneapolis as Ga forum. He
made mistake, too, in selecting WILL
IAN KING as an antagonist. The clever
warrior shows his skill not only in the
choice of weapons. but also in the
choice of foe. 1t is hard to buck
against reputation like WILLIAM
KNEES, won by years of fidelity to
duty, guilelessness of manner and hon
eSty Of life.
DoNNEIY's greatest mistake, how
ever, was in bringing his libel suit at
all. and he will make a greater mistake
if he brings another one. as he threat
ems to. If he is poor, as he plaintively
says he is, let him turn his attention to
noble labor. Farming is now profta-
BILE occupation, and many men of less
ability than he has are supporting their
wives and children by work at the bar
or for the press. But lawsuits are abso-
Iutely delusive as form of money
making. That is not what they are in
tended for. Courts are provided as a
means for settling disputes, not for
acquiring wealth, or even doing ms
tice. And he who employs them
for any other purpose is fated
for much remorse and contrition
of spirit. When men speak ill of Don
NELLY. let him talk. He can do that.
But let him avoid summonses, sub
penas, afidayits and verdicts. They
bode him no good, for, even if he should
win great riches by their means, what
advantage would follow? His fortune
would excite those of whom he has
spoken ill himself to follow his example
and prey on his wealth. Suppose he
should get some of Joe WHEELocK's
money" Might not the lawyer whom
he has so shamefully ibeled in his
recent novel levy execution OH it in an
action for the yindication of his char
acter? Damage suits are seldom profit
able. DoNNELLY is sixty, and it will

more holidays and better living. In all
these respects he was ahead of the

he works only forty-eight hours per

carpenter is fortunate if he can work
eight months. The English workman
has more holidays, and his living is
cheaper. He insists that the skilled

BIG SMUGGCJNC

There will be little occasion for sur
prise If the alleged smuggling of opium
over theCanadian border should prove to
be as big thing as intimated, and some
high in position be found implicated.
1t does not follow, however. that the
public will ever get a focus on the real
situation. unless congress compels an
investigation. The immensely of the
profit, due to the high duties, makes il

for the smugglers. The whisky ring.
Credit Mobiier and the Republican
tinanciering IN Pennsylvania are small
potatoes to the possibilities of opium
smuggling under the present conditions.
Think of 10000 miles of seacoast and
an imaginary line 1000 miles long be-
tween the United States and British
America. What an array of men and
host of ships it would take to protect if.
The infirmity of official virtue will also
come in to mitigate any hardships
to the importers. A few greenbacks
shipped into the vest pockets of col
lectors or inspectors would inure to
the mutual profit of the parties, The
experience OF England was that the
most severe penalties would not break
up smuggling while the duties afforded
great incentives. This fact was among
those urged for the abolition of the re-.
strictions on British commerce. It will
be remembered that Secretary Foster
not long since estimated the losses to
the government from smuggling at not
less than S25,00O,O0O per year. Opium

most profitable articles for SNUG

THEY WoULD VOTE.

The Chicago papers do not generally
manifest much sympathy with the la
dies of their city who are trying to be
registered in order to vote for school
officers at the November election. In
many OF the, states women have been
given the suffrage in school affairs. and
when they have exercised it freely it
has not been reported that they voted
less wisely than the men to promote the
welfare of the schools. 1t is not queS-
toned that they have quite as much
interest as men in the manage
ment of the schools, and should
have voice in the matter. There
is growing feeling in favor of their
having a vote in the choice of school of
ficers and all matters pertaining to the
system. The obstacles to their mixing
in general politics and assuming the du-
ties of the general franchise do not come
in the way of the school feature. There
should be no politics in this, and no
other consideration than to secure the
greatest efficiency and value in these
common educational agencies. Their
voting in Illinois is new thing. and the
earnest purpose of many of the most in
telligent ladies of Chicago to enforce
their rights is commendable. The Chi.
cago election commissioners, acting by
the advice of their attorney, refused
them registration; but good many hun
dreds did induce the judges to put their
names down, and tests are to be made
of the cases refused. The constitutions
Of Massachusetts and Kansas have pre-
clsely the same language in regard to
the word male, and they have no sex in
school voting. The Illinois statute is
clear and explicit in giving the women
the ballot in school matters, and there
can be little doubt of their success if
they press the issue with the earnest
ness they seem to manifest now.

1t Causes a Murder at Sharnsburg
Pa.

PrTTSBURG, Pa, Oct. 25.-Jerrv Buck
ley, young married man, was shot
through the head and instantly killed
i'll front of STEMS hotel, at Sharpsourg.
and Harry Stein, the proprietor, was
shot i'll the thigh about O'clock last
night. The shooting was done bv two
colored men, and was the result of a
barrOom dispute. Between 10 and IL
O'Clock last night, two negroes, Henry
Akers and George Morris. employed at
the Vesuyius Iron works, entered the
bar room of STEMS hotel and called for
two drinks of 1.-The best whisky in the
house, After they had disposed of
the whisky they refused TO pay the
price asked. 20 cents each. A
heated discussion followed, when John
Stein, the barlleeper, ordered them out.
They replied that there was 10 one in
the room who could put them out. At
this young Stein attempted to eject the
negroes. The place was crowded at the
time, and Henry Stem, the proprietor.
and Jerry Buckley, shoemaker, came
to the assistance of young Stein. A
Scuff1e ensued, the whole party finally
getting ont into the street Here tie
negroes began firing, and the crowd
scattered. -Four shots were fired, when
George Morris took to his heels When
policeman arrived young Stein was
graphing with the other negro. The
officer, after a hard fight, put Akers
under arrest. At this juncture the dead
body of Buckley was found in the
street, with bullet hole through his
head. Suddenly there went up a
shout from the crowd that again
gathered: Lynch him. lynch him"
Wiser counsel prevailed, however, and
Akers was landed safely in the lookup.
Henry Stein was also shot in the leg
and his son was badly beaten. The
officers then started after Morris. He
was found at his boarding house and
brought back to the Jail. They were

INDIAN SUMMER.

Fair summer-fying from chill Autumn's
breath
Turned and looked back with longing rest
full gaze,
And saw the frost spirits, in their work of
death,
Despoil the fruits OF all her golden days.
But blithe October's pencil moved among
The leaves and branches labyrinthio maze
And touched the sun1sc with crimson fame
And swept the mountains with a purple
haze.
Pleasant, in truth, 1t looked-and Summer
smiled
And blew kiss toward her one time home
Then, laughing as happy little child,
She called her birds around her and was
gone.
