They are ike "The Chouaus, at war with
civilization.
Now, there is no reason why we should
pursue these outlaws into the swamps OF
villainy, or up the mountains Of personal
abuse. They are reckless and swift
footed. They have no reputation to lose,
and no honor would come to the man
who pursued them with bushwhacking
methods.
Balzac allowed the chief Chouan to die
Of neglect in a mountain hovel. The
regular soldiers Of France aud the officers
Of the law were content II he remained
away from the peaceful hamlets Of the
peasantry. There was no price upon his
head to tempt their cupidity, and no
honor in killing the outlaw, who could
not be approached except by treachsry
and bribery.
Now 1t Is neither the pleasure nor the
duty Of self-respecting newspaper
man to tear his clothes on the mountain
briars nor wade into miasmic swamps
in pursuit. 1t is simply his duty TO
warn the people that both bushwhack-
ers are untrustworthy one has taken
a 5000 bribe, the other has opposed Demo
cratic platforms and reviled Democratic
officials.
Evening journal., 1893-12-27
1.-THE cHouANs.D

Bushwhackers are outlaws who flee TO
the mountains or swamps. Their pri-
mary object is to escape arrest and avoid
punishment for the crimes they have
committed. They have not the courage
to join the regular soldiery; they dare
not attempt TO live among civilized peo.
pie where their crimes have been com
mitted. They are cowardly, cruel, ire
sponsible, villainous.
In that intensely interesting story Of
The Chouans, where Balzac Is said TO
have written the most dramatic chapter
in all literature, these bushwhaekers are
described. The chief was a man with no
property, no wife, no home. no
genius, no faith, no religion.
no belief in God or man.
He wore sheepskins, was dirty in person
and brutal in manners He was reckless
Of life and property because he had none
Of the latter and the former was worth
less to him. He was ignorant and mer-
eiless. He eschewed soap; he was inca
pable of sentiment.
In the word picture that Balzac has
made Of this man he is the most horri.
ble creature who ever lived in the
guise Of man. The mothers of France
frightened their children with threats To
summon The Chouan, for many wear.
after the man himself, was only a horrid
memory to the simple people of the
mountains who had suffered from hi.

There are newspapers and newsnana,

They are newspapers, which like tb,

pendent; or like the Dover Republican

lions Tor no reason or fer reasons best
known to themselves Both Of thes,
papers bushwhack-they never com,

One mellow smile through the soft vapory
air,
Ere, o'er the frozen earth, the loud winds run
Or SHOWS are drifted DER the meadows bare
One smile on the brown hills and naked trees
And the dark rocks whose summer wreaths
are cast,
And the blue gentan-fower, that, in the
breeze,
Mods lonely, Of her beauteous race the last.
Yet few sunny days, I'm which the bee

The cricket chirp upon the russell lea.

The piercing winter frost and winds and dark

SEVERAL years ago the manufacturers

would forget to increase wages as pro.

there is not word or a line to benefit
the wage Garner The home market is
closed so that the employer can go into a

Conditions were never be-
fore so favorable for retail
buyers of Women's Muslin
Underwear.
Manufacturers have well
coined work on any terms, so
it let them keep their organi-
cations intact, and the larger
the orders the more willing
have they been to make con-
cessions.
In anuaries past we have
had special sales of Women's
Muslin Underwear that became
the talk of the butnone
of them in any respect equaled
in interest the one prepared
for January, 1894.
More than three hundred
and fifty thousand garments
have been gathered for the
beginning of the sale, and
other thousands, like snowy
mountains, will be drifting in
as the days go by. -...
In many instances we have
been able to price the finished
garments at about the retail
cost of the materials in them.
What are told of here are
perhaps one in a score of the
kinds that make up the great
assortment.
The stocks are very large,
but when exhausted orders
cannot be filled at the rates
quoted in this list.

IL there Is one fault peculiar TO this
city it is that we have too much of the
industrial Idea We have set our hearts
and turned our footsteps to the pursuit
Of the golden calf II we do not fall
down and worship the stolid idol Of
Wealth, we pursue It to the exclusion Of
the arts and sciences. In an essay
which Professor White wrote several
years ago condemning "The Age Of
Mercantilism" the.evils from which this
city is suffering were specified with a
directness. truth and perspioacity which
leaves no doubt that he had lived here. at
lynn, at Yonkers or in some other
Industrial centre where the dollar was
the centre Of the universe the acme Of
happiness here and the sure precursor
Of eternal bliss hereafter. Men will not
acknowledge those things but they live
them.

REPORTER VS.. POLICE CAPTAIN.

Newsgatherer walker Complains Of
Rough Trsatment From Policeman
Chambers, aud Calls Him a Thug.
w. II. Walker, a reporter, unfolded a
long tale OF woe before the Police Com
missioners last night He started by
saying that he would not bring charges
against that rufian, Captain Chambers"
but he had considered IL and had decided
to change his plans as he did not want
to get into trouble with a ruffian. 1t
would also affect Mrs. Chambers and her
children. Besides It would only result in
whitewash or few days suspension
without pay.
Mr.. Pyle and Mr.. Lawson had already
heard Walkers statement but Mr..
Monaghan had not, and asked what the
last Saturday Just before Municipal Court
opened he went to talk to an old man
who had been in the habit of visiting the
court room for some time looking for
policeman who had taken a revolver
from him. A short time ago he had
written a story about It, but as times
were dull he was always on the lookout
for news The man talked little loud
and was asked by the newsgather to speak
lower. The conversation went on until
it was interrupted by Captain Chambers.
According to Walkers statement
Chambers caught him by the arm and
pulled him about the room. In his
opinion It was the same as common
case of assault and battery committed
by thug OF cut throat.
Walker said had he not controlled his
temper he would have knocked the off,
Ger down. For several minutes longer
he continued to talk of the roughness Of
the police officer and olassed him with
rufiians.
When Walker had finished, Mr.. Law.
son denied that Chambers was ruffian.
He had been recommended by all the
iudges of the county courts and by
Walker himself.
Mr. Monaghan told Walker that it
was not the intention of the Board Of
Commissioners to "whitewash" any Off
Ger. No action was taken on the matter
by the board.
