Down, slaves, and hear your doom!
The general managers of II railroads
running into Chicago, by their as.
ISOLATION, have given official notice,
in advance, that they will not be dis
posed to consider any demands on
behalf of their employees for an in
crease of wages. How can they ?
Look at it, The season of general
activity and great gains is now about
beginning with the opening of the
Worlds fair. Immense profits will
roll into the railroad Golfers. Then
why should these men be annoyed
by poor men who do the work, ask
ing for a little more pay, small
part of the great gains. 1t is pre-

THE king is dead Long live the
king! Amidst the greatest array OF
bayonets assembled in Washington
since the review of the Grand Army
in 1865, Cover Cleveland was ina :
gurated president. The great
change (?) is effected the Repub-
Leans are out and the Democrats
are in-Tweedle-dee has been sub
stituted for Tweedle.dum. The read
ing of President Cleveland's inau-
gural will force any thinking person
to the same conclusion. His position
on the the question of finance is
simply repetition of what may be
found in the Republican platform for
twenty-five years-a reflection of
what is wanted in Wall street. Evil
IDENTIFY the national bank swindle is
still to the fore, as evidenced by the
pleasure with which his inaugural
has been received by Republican
papers, both great and small, all
over the land. In the face of the
overwhelming vote by which the
policy of protection was rejected
in the face Of the emphatic dcclara
ton of the Democratic platform for
free trade-and of the dream of the
tail that it would by some
wag the dog-the mountain
brings forth the tiny little mouse
"tarif' reform. The national bank
swindle will be as secure under the
policy foreshadowed by the Presi-
dent as will be the Carnegies and
and Tricks under tariff for rcve-
nue.. Perhaps it may be too soon to
say just what the policy Of Dem
ocracy will be, but we think it safe
to draw conclusions from the inau-
gural. Paste this in your hat, and

One Result Of the Notorious
Supreme Court Decision.
Top 'ka Journal (Rep.l

Topeka may not have higl
school building after all. The cit.
council last night failed to canvas
the vote as required by law, and tax
ing advantage Of the recent supreme
court decision in Joe Rosenthal''
case, adjourned sine die. The Law
provides that the council shall NEE
ON the first Friday following al
election, canvass the vote and de
clare the result.
In accordance With this provision
the council met last night to canvass
the voto on the high school bonds
Mayor Cofran was absent, as were
also several members Of the council,
including President Whaley. There
was not quorum present, just six
members answering to their names as
follows: Councilmen Burgess, Earn
est, Elliott, Fulton, Mullin and
Myers.
In the absence Of the two regular
presiding officers, Councilman Bur-
CESS was called to the chair of the
five members left on the floor. Three
were opposed to, and two friends of,
the high school proposition.
The enemies of the high sch6, !.
after holding a consultation, de-
cided to adjourn sine die, thereby
defeating the bonds.
This was in accordance with the
ruling of the supreme court in the
Haskell county case, where the state
board Of canvassers issued the GER
tificate of election to Stubs instead
of Roscnthal and adjourned sine die
before the error was discovered.
The supreme court held that re-
turning board cannot be reconvened
after having adjourned sine die. The
failure Of the majority of the coun-
Gil to attend last nights session has
cost the city dearly.
The recent supreme court decision
is likely to plague great many
people from time to time, if it is to
be interpreted this way.

Mr.. kerr HARDY, M p, the great
labor leader, is wont to preach on
Sunday night in London. lie is a
Congregationalist, and in the course
of a recent sermon on the Good
Samaritan he said, Every day
forty-three thousand children in
London go breakfastless to school;
and are they not our neighbors !?
What do we do about it Do we
recognize the relationship? The
u~fortunate women who walk the
streets of our great towns and the
men who tramp the byways and
highways, are they not our neigh
bors, too? What are we doing
about them 1t is not enough to
dispense charity to these suffering
ones as remedy for the admitted
injustice under which they suffer.
The church must not merely dis
pense charity, but she must teach
people that the system which en-
riches the few at the cost of moral
and material well-being of the many,
is essentially unchristian. For our
selves, we take the position that
while, as the Bible says, riff a man
will not work, neither shall he cat
the converse is equally true: if a
man is willing 70 work, it is the duty
of his fellow-men to see that he has
something to eat; aud until we come
to this basis our Christianity needs
quickening. The Union Signal

power exists then the action of the Gov.
ernor stands, the legislature is prorogued
for year and the present Republican
state officers hold over. If the court holds
otherwise it destroys the power of adj
journing before going into joint conven-
ton, and apparently puts things back in
precisely the condition that they were
before the Governor sent in his message.
Such a decision while it would be NOR
al triumph for the Democrats would ap-
parently have no legal effect to compel
the Republican Senate to meet in joint
convention. Possibly the court may
hold that it has power to compel the
two houses to meet in joint convention,
but as rule courts have refused to I'M
dertake to compel Legislative bodies to
do specific acts on the ground of want of
jurisdiction. If the Rhode Island court
follows the rule the two branches of the
legislature will not meet in joint con-
vention unless voluntarily.

COMBAT. WITH A PANTHER.
Wild Beast from Circus Attacks Mail
Carrier.

A panther, supposed to be the one that
escaped from Walter Mains wrecked
circus near Tyrone, Wednesday morning,
attacked Frank Buck, a United States
mail carrier, above Patterson, on the
mountain. In the encounter that fol-
lowed, in which two dogs assisted Buck,
the panther was shot several times. and
the mail carrier was badly used up.
Buck has the contract for delivering
the Patterson mail at Mt. Carmel, no
mail car reaching the former place.
The route lies through wild, noun
famous country. Shortly after daybreak
Buck was going past sharp rise in the
road when huge panther confronted
him in the highway. The mail carrier
was in a wagon, but knowing the fleet
ness of the ferocious beast before him,
did not attempt to make it contest be-
tween the speed of his horse and the
great mountain cat. He stopped, drew
a revolver from his pocket and awaited
the next movemsnt of his agile foe in the
roadway. At that moment two dogs, evil
IDENTITY in pursuit of the panther, ap-
preached. The wild beast crept toward
Buck. When he raised his revolver the
dogs began to bark, and the panther s
attention was diverted. The young man
fired three times, none of the bullets
taking effect.
The dogs, after reaching the mail car
rier stopped. Then the panther rushed
forward, and when five feet away he pre-
pared to leap. Buck fired again, the
bullet lodging in the beasts breast.
Again the revolver cracked, and this time
the ball pierced the panther's left eye.
With cry of rage and pain the furious
monster sprang into the wagon. Buck
and the dogs attacked it, the carrier u.s.
ing the butt end of his weapon with good
effect.
The struggle was so close and fierce
that the mail carrier knew his danger
was very great. His pistol was empty.
The repeated blows upon the panther {
bleeding head made it turn, and leaping
from the wagon it skunk away through
the bushes. The dogs were afraid to fol.
low it, and Buck, glad to be free, drove
rapidly to Patterson and told of his en-.
counter. Half dozen armed men al
once started for the scene of the conflict
They secured the woods for mile, blu,
found no panther. soa
Strange as it seems, many think the
panther, after the circus train wreck al
Tyrone, jumped into an open box cal
standing near. A freight train from thai
place reached here early this morning
and the beast is supposed to have riddeI
all the way. Being used to travelling il
cars, itwould be quite natural for it tt
seek such shelter. 1t is about 100 milei
from Tyrone to the place where Bucl
had his thrilling combat.

THE RHODE ISLAND MUDDLE.

When the Rhode Island legislature met
"a majority of the senators whom the re-
: turns showed to be elected were Repub-
Ac.ans; majority of the House Demo-
Gratis. There having been no election of
state officers by the people, it devolved
upon lthe Senate and House in joint con-
veention to choose them. Had the men,
oeirs OF the two houses who had received
cerolncate's met in joint convention the
hep'sbiicaies would have had small
majority and been able to elect state Of

the democrats, gave the latter an oppor-

puplcans and Sc .ating Democrats in their
stead. Thfs opportunity the Democrats
proceeded immediately to improve. and
without any Investigation into the merits
of their claims enough Republicans were
unseated and enough Democrats seated

for the Supreme Court.

box everybody who may have formed an
opinion in regard to the case, else it
would be practically impossible to get

Ran VITA u .iuIlet In Its Heart.

While working on cattle ranch in the
Cherokee Nation in 1885, I, in company
with several other cattle punchers, as
we were called, was riding over the
crest Of hill, when we saw at a short
distance five deer feeding on the short,
tender grass. Bringing my trusty win
chester to level, singled out fine,
large buck, with pair Of magnificent
antlers, and took deliberate aim, firing
at the region Of the heart. With bleat
and snort the buck bounded off across
the prairie with two Of us boys in pur-
suit. After chase of two or three miles
the deer suddenly dropped dead, and
upon examination we found that the
bullet had passed clear through its heart.
