THAT GRAY HORSE.

Ex-Gov. Gray, of Indiana, says that
he is still in the presidential ring. 1t is
well that Gov. Gray has spoken. His
presence seems to be almost forgotten.
-LeavenwOrth Times.
Isaac p. Gray has thoroughly con-
WINGED himself that he is suspected of
being that good Western man." If it
is really true that both Cleveland and
Hill are out of the question as preSi-
Dental possibilities, it may be that the
suspicion is we'll grounded Fort
Wayne Press.
Gray's name is mentioned here and
there for the first or second place on
the Democratic national ticket. but In
diana is ignoring him with almost as
much yig0r and unanimity as it did
when Hendricks and Mcdonald were
alIve.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Mr.. Gray. of Indiana, is trying to the
best of his ability to make it under
stood that he is still in the presidential
ring. In the general confusion which
prevails throughout the Democratic
camp Mr.. Gray stands in great danger
of being overlooked.-Bay City Tribune.
Ex-Gov. Gray. of Indiana, denies the
report that he is to relegate his preSi-
dental hankerings and set sail for an
other term in the governors chair. The
first thing Mr.: Gray should do would
seem to go off somewhere and grow.
The yardstick which has been sizing up
presidential timber finds the Indianian
to be misunderstanding American.

BRITAIN'S PRIDE.
Gladstone and Balfour Speak on
the YeOmen

Gladstone ana Bal1our speak on
the Yeomen.
LONDON, March 24.-In the house of
commons this evening discussion on the
bill introduced by Mr.. Chaplin, presi-
dent of the board of agriculture. to
facilitate the acquisition of small
agricultural holdings was resumed.
Mr.. Gladstone spoke OH the measure
at some length. . he admitted that the
bill was an honest effort in the right
direction, although falling short of the
actual necessities of the case. He said
that the slowness of progress on the
question had convinced him of
the. necessity of roofing rural
Iaborers to the soil (cries of
''hear'). He wished to interpose no OBJ
stacles TO the bill, but unless it was
amended in committee, it would GER
tainly not fulfill the acts of its promot-
tiers.
The principle of compulslon ought to
be introduced. Without that. he said,
there would be considerable danger re-
garding the fixing of standard, fair
price. Compulsion would expose the
landlord to no danger of an unfair
price, settlement might be referred to
an independent tribunal. 1t was of
vital consequence that rural laborers
possessing land should live close to
their holdings. Therefore it was neceS-
sary to introduce an element of cOer-
Give authority to secure that advantage.
Mr.. Gladstone in concluding his speech
said he trusted that all the parties in
the house, acting on common ground,
would succeed in producing measure
that would result in enormous good to
the people. Mr.. BaIfour also spoke OH
the measure. He said he reciprocated
tile spirit in which Mr.. Glad
stone approached the bill. The gov
eminent, he declared, aimed to
recreate the class of small yeOmen. Mr..
Gladstone desired not so much to in
crease the number of freeholders in
general as to increase the number of
small freeholders. If that was the view
of the house it would be better to let
the existing state of things remain. The
bill passed the second reading without
a diversion of the house being taken.

BOSSES GOING OUT.

Political bossism is going out of fash
ion in all parties. A surprising indica-
ton of this was had in that South Da-
kota Republican convention the 9th er
day. The majority rose up with wild
dash and demanded that the states of
the bosses should be broken. The
friends of PETTIGREw had the con-
vention. but they fancied that his
pocket was not large enough to put the
party in, and that he needed TO be re-
minded of the fact. SO they instructed
for HARRISON, not from any love for
the president, but because they wanted
to show their independence. 1t is
probable there is some posing for effect
in this, for it is obServ we'd that most of
the delegates to Minneapolis are men to
be influenced by PETTIGREw, and could
be easily taken from the president after
they had nominallY respected their in
structions. Still, the impression is so
prevalent IN the party that the bosses
want to defeat the president. that in
structions will be given enough dele
gates to insure his nomination on the
first ballot probably. In Iowa even
GARRISON came near being defeated
for delegate because he was IN with the
boss syndicate. In New York there is
a struggle to keep the delegation out of
the hands of PLATT, but it will hardly
be successful, as the party has usually
been docile in its seryitude to bosses.
The Democrats are even less disposed
to submit to dictation from any quartz r

secure the privilege it must be
made to appear that the benefi
ciary really intends to lead an upright
life and that some person Of response
bility is ready to give him suitable en-
ployment. In such cases his liberty
will be given him, provided he reports
to the warden every month the full de-
tails of his condition. If he fails to do
this or to conduct himself honorably in
the community, he is liable to rearrest
and reincarceration for the balance of
his original sentence. While he is thus
at large he is still to be considered as in
the custody of the law unle SIS in the
meanwhile he receives unconditional
pardon.
The system has worked well else
where. and its history is such as to
promise success with us. The man
tainted with the mark of convict finds
it hard to regain his position when he is
freed, and is driven, even against his
will, to evil associations and to new
crime. This plan holds out to his friends
an incentive to aid him, and to himself
chance to live down his old life and to
form habits of industry and probity.
We shall now have the ticket-of-leave
man among rs, and he deserves, and
should have, chance.

THE COAL TRUST.

Can't somebody find out just how
much it cost the Reading coal 'com-
bine" to pocket the New Jersey legiSla-
ture.-New York Advertiser.
The anthracite coal barons were too
hastY in advancing prices. That big
English coal miners strike is about to
end.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Twenty-Five cents ton added to the
price of chestnut coal is among the first
fruits of the recently consummated trust
of the coal barons.-New York Tele-
gram.
The tyranny of the monopoly is be-
ginning to be felt early. Can not the
authorities of Pennsylvania and New
York emulate its promptnesS and yigor?
New York World.
The increase of the price of coal 25
cents per ton does not look as if the adj
ministrative expenses of the Reading
coal combine were being leSSened. A
quarter is nothing to amy one OF the mil
lionaireS who control the coal combine,
but it is a large amount to add to the
burden OF the poor in large clties.-NeW
York Press.

cation, DY the dcIlOn OF Tue fenHSyl-

Probably it will be the policy of the
trust to increase prices gradually. The
price of chestnut coal was increased by
% cents ton on Wednesday last. By
agreement the rate of production has
been restricted. Three collleries oper-
ated by the Reading company were
closed yesterday, and 1000 men were

MELADY'S POCKET.

last, to suffer losses in that beautiful

The thief who picked the pocket of

he did not take care of it himself. Lou

Lady Randolph Churchill has just

QUEER VERDICT.

Instances are very rare, if not I'm.
known. where juries have been found
In any community that would bring in
verdict of guilty against any man en-
gagged in a Jynehing affair that had the
approval of the people OF the locality.
In many cases the proceedings never
20 beyond an ineffective attempt to find
competent jury. In recent instance
in Lafayette county, Wisconsin, mob
took an alleged murderer from the jail
and hung him. Leading citizens par
ticipated in the work, and hardly
voice in the county was raised in con-
domination, the usual excuse being
found In the Ineffective administration
of the criminal law, and the increase of
crime. There were petitions from officials
and prominent citizens urging that
there should be no attempt to punish
the leaders of the mob, on account of
the expense and certain failure. But
seven of them were indicted and tried.
There was no lack of evidence of their
commission of the act charged, but the
jury brought in verdict that all of the
seven were insane when they led the
mob through the Iynching programme.
For some reason it was also alleged
that three of the defendants named had
not recovered their sanity. Still, there
was no recommendation that they
should be sent to an asylum or be con-
fined to restrain the exercise of their
mania. 1t is not very surprising that in
the opinion of the jury, the seven lead
ers and all their followers were of doubt
full sanity when they led the lynchng,
but promptly recovered when the vic
tim was made to adorn the tree. The
puzzle is why three of them should be
made to continue in this lamentable
mental frame. So far as there is any
information their mania is in constant
exercise, and they spend their time
hunting for people to lynch. 1t is not
an inviting advertisement for strangers,
who prefer not to incur such dangers.
One might suspect that insanity is
epidemic i'll that community, and even
the jurieS did not have entire immunity.
If there are periods when the waves of
fermentation have special course there,
the public should be appraised for its
own safety. A sort of quarantine
would be advisable to keep outsiders
away.

THE BEHR1NG SEA TROUBLE.

The Behring sea trouble approaches
crisis, and the people of the North
west should understand its nature. In
brief, the United States claims that as
the successor to the rights of Russia, it
is entitled to the exclusive privilege of
catching seals within a hundred miles
from the coast of Alaska. England has
disputed our position, and after much
negotiation a treaty has been concluded
by which the question is to be submit
ted to the arbitration of neutral nations.
This treaty is now before the senate
awaiting its ratification. Ever since this
matter has been in dispute a friendly
agreement has existed between us and
Great Britain for the regulation of
seal fishing in the North Pacific
until final determination of the
controversy might be reached. This
agreement is the so-ealled modus
YivendI or me thod of getting along
until something better was arrived at.
1t was presumed by Mr.. BLAINE that
when the arbitration was concluded,
the modus vivendi should continue I'M
til the arbitrator had decided the ques-
ton. But Lord SALISBURY does not so
understand it, and he now refuses to
consent to any temporary arrangement
of this sort. 1t will be more than year
before the verdict OF the arbitrator
will be rendered, and during this inter-
val the entire value of the fisheries may
be destroyed if poachers are allowed
free access to the grounds. President
HARRISON wants the British govern
ment to CO. operate with us in
patrolling the Behring sea and
experimenting marauders who may kill
the young seals, or interfere with the
breeding. This it is not willing to do.
If it insists, we may have to undertake
the work by ourselves, and in it's prose-
cution have to capture vessels flying the
British flag. A step of this sort may
bring OH hOstilities at any moment, and
yet,if we stand back, ANY decision which
the board of arbitration may give in our
favor will amount to nothing. because
no seals will be left within the hundred
mile limit for us to catch. The United
States is thus in position of grave COM
plexity. On the one side is the destruc-
ton of the seal fisheries. On the other
the possibility of war with England.
This is indeed an occasion for wisdom
and diplomacy.

PARIS, March pa number of docu-
ments written according to cipher code
were found in the possession of an an
archist who was placed under arrest
today while seeking a situa ton as
servant in the residence of an aristo-
cratic family in this city. The mans
actions had aroused the suspicious of
the persons where he was looking for
employment and they communicated
with the police authorities, with the
result that he was soon taken into Gus
tody.
The documents found on the prisoner
were closely studied by the officers. and
after much work they succeeded in dis
covering the key to the cipher. What
they read as they slowly translated the
secret communications caused the great
est surprise. The contents of the
papers proved that the family in
whose house the man had tried to
get employment had incurred the
hatred of the anarchists and that
at secret council of the order sentence
of death had been pronounced against
them, and the man now under arrest
had been selected to carry out their

become installed in the position which
he sought, to poison all the food and
liquids in the house on the first favor
able opportunity, and thus cause the
death of those on whom the anarch lists
wished to be revenged.

has greatly increased the feeling of

The interminable Azotine troubles seem no
nearer settlement than three months ago.
despite the sages of the common council have
wrestled with the question at each succeed
ing meeting during the period designated
The new special joint committee will now
undertake to solve the problem. The n.y.
pothesis that if the company has actually
earned any portion of the bill for Sc. go they
should be paid for it seems-to be the opinion
of majority of the members, but it is pretty
generally agreed among the coancilmen that
the full claim has not been earned. Again,
there is a feeling on the part of some
that the city is not legally beholden
for dollar, from the fact that the
terms OF the contract with the city
have not been complied with. The urgent
necessity of disposing of the citys garbage,
and that speedily. from sanitation point of
view, is one of the most perplexing phases Of
the controversy that the council has to meet.
With the opening of spring there is vast
amount of offal that must be removed from

spread of dread contagion. This the coun-
cilmen realize, and the special committee
will meet soon to discuss the matter There
will be no meeting Of either branch of the
