The Evils of FaIsehood.

The time has arrived when all honest
men should enter their eolemn protest
against the crime of prevarication. We
are reliably informed that there are now
at large, in various parts of the country,
numerous persons who have not the fear
of COP before their eyes, and who en-
deavor to impose on the confidence of
their fellow-men by statements that are
founded on thin air. Some of these peo-
pie have apparently congregated in the
neighborhood OF Memphis and are en-
gagged in sending out reports concerning
tho recent cyclone in Mississippi. We
have no desire to do injustice to Missis-
sippi. We have no doubt that her cyclone
was nice. comfortable storm that would
compare favorably with storms in other
states, but there is limit even in storms.
and these descendants of ANANIAs have
overstepped it.
They inform us that Mr.. J. l.. ELLIsToN
was whiting away the dreafy hours of the
tempest relating a story to Col MCCoR-
MICK when the wind attracted their spe-
cial attention. Its effects on them were
varied and remarkable. Prof ELLIsroN

WE knew the condition of labor in this
country was not what it should be, but We
never dreamed it was as thus depicted by
the Washington Post:
There is in Russia no tyranny as igno-
rant and as cruel az. that under which
both the labOrer and his employer have
languished at the hands of labor officials.
Thousands OF prosperous artisans could
be thrown into idleness and privation
without a moments notice and untold
rnillIons of commerce and industry jeop-
ardized by the lifting of ones vicious
and irresponsible finger. Men who were
happy and contented In their work, who
had no fault to find with their circum-
stances. could be reduced from comfort 10
penury becsuse some cOnclave of the
bosses ordered it.
And all this under tariff which made
the American workingman the best paid.

BILE creature on earth What frightful
idiots these American workingmen must
be to donate themselves into slavery

meetings of the employees to decide on
their course OF action. accept or reject
terms and rinse or continue TO strike.
Finally, the Ledger denies our statement
that. in his decision, Judge TAFT decided
that the men might quit work, and inter-
fere with traffic, and inconvenience the
public as much as they liked. provided
they quit work between runs" 1t AYERS
thar Judge TAFT decided no such thing,
quite the contrary. The effect OF the
rulings in the case is TO prevent men from
quitting work when such action would in
convenience the public" That is easily
settled by quoting his decision. In stat
ing his distinction between the strike on
the Ann Arbor road and the boycott on
the Lake Shore. he saws of the former:
The one combination, so tar as its char
acter was shown in the evidence, was
tdcfui. because il was for the purpose OF
selling the labor of those engaged in it for
the highest price obtainable and on the
best terms. The probable inconvenience
or loss which Its employees might impose on
the complainant company by Withholding
their labor, would, under ordinary circum-
stances, be legitimate means available to
them for inducing a compliance with their
demands
The only inconvenience or loss that q
strike can impose on a railroad company
is the lessening or stoppage of its traffic.
and that is as great or greater incon-
venience to tho public than to the rail-
road. A general quitting of work on any
railroad necessarily results in incon-
venience to the public and interferes with
interstate commerce, but Judge TAFT ex-
pressly says it is lawful.

SHOT BY A ROBBER.
An Old Man Murdered While Resist
ing the Thief

VALDos. Ga. April IA terrible crime was
committed about shutdown last evening seven
miles south of this place. the victim being an
old man named John 4. Wisenbaker. Mrs.
Wiseubaker. his wife. was in the house attend
ing to her domestic duties when she was sud
denly accosted by man. He commanded her
TO keep still and not make any alarm or he
would kill her. The villain then took Wisen-
bakers gun down from the rack and went into
an adjoining room and proceeded to break
open q wooden wardrobe in which the old man
kent his money. Mrs. Wisenbaker slipped
out and called her husband who was hoeing in
a patch about fifty yards away. When the old
man heard of the strange mans actions he
entered the house and was met by fusillade
of bull cts from the robbers pistol. None OF
them. however took effect and the old man
raised bis hoe to strike him. The stranger
quickly raised his gun and sent charge of
shot into the old mans heart who, calling 20
his wife run, said that he was killed. Mrs.
Wisenbaker then ran TO the nearest neighbors
and gave the alarm, but when they arrived the
robber had gone. taking witt him what money
ne could find. Three men are under arrest.

that was flying through the air and
fatally injured" This is too much. II
the wind had blown Prof ELLIsToN's
"pants" off and left his revolver We would
not have questioned it. Neither would
we have objected if Col. MCCORMICK,
while flying through the air, had been
joined by barrel of -four, or even il he
on the flying barrel and quietly continued
the story, but we will not accept any,
thing improbable. The only course for n
seif-respecting newspaper is to reject the
story and denounce the promulgators.
1t may be urged in defense that these
reports are interesting to the public, profit
able TO the reporters and OF no material
damage to anyone. That is doubtful. A
few days ago an enterDrising prevaricator
sent out story about an 9rolite falling
and knocking the left arm off statue of
JOHN Bows. No one supposed it would
do any harm until it struck Lieut.. ToTTEN,
who st once announced that it was an
extremely serious affair. Said he: The
old order changes; here endeth the Sec
ond woe the first was whoa, EMMA. and
behold the third cometh quickly and is of
a more serious nature" This is the re-
suit The whole blooming earth is coming
to an end on account OF an irresponsible
liar in Kansas. who had probably been
reporting the late Kansas legislature and
supposed that the American people were
prepared to believe anything. BY tho
way, we should like to know if the Hon.
EUGENE WARE was in the neighborhood
of Ossawattomie when this arolite fell?

AST. LoUIs democrat has just died from
the effect OF a republican bite. Ever since
last November the republicans have been
in an ugly temper, and peculiarly
venomous. and the ST. Louis victim should
have been more careful! in handling them.
As there is no known anlidate against the
bite of the republican at that period
when he lie shedding his official skin. and
as the skin-sheddiug season began early
in March, We would advise AL our readers
10 approach the reptile with exceeding
caution. As the republican is rapidly be-
coming extinct and naturalists may de-
sire TO preserve specimens some sugges-
lions may be in order. 1t is well in max
ing a capture to approach the loathsome
object from behind and thrust forked
stick over his neck and into the ground,
holding him in this position until his
fangs are extracted. Then he should be
anaesthaIized with a heavy dose of COZ
popt,h. The best preservative is a strong
solution Of alcohol.
