Toronto, Canada, has decided that
sne will not permit any street cars to
be run in that city on Sunday. The
decision was made at the polls, and it
was most animated contest between
the Sabbstarians and the street-csr
company and "the worlds people"
The friends of Sunday cars were de-
feated by the following vote: For
Sunday cars, 1900; against Sunday
cars, IA, ,0S5."
About midnight some nights ago,
fast train was stopped in a lonely
place in the State of Indiana by
train robbers displaying the danger
signal. The engineer was shot by
the robbers. The express car was
blown open by dynamite. The safe
was blown open and $4,000 taken
therefrom. Reports differ as to the
number of the thieves. Seven is the
lowest number mentioned, and 25 is
the highest.

s,gnaled at night to stop at lonely
place between stations by robbers,
and the express car robbed. The
robbers in the two hauls secured
about one hundred thousand dollar 5.
If that kind OF work continues 1t will
not be long before armed men Will
have to accompany every Express
Train, and each passenger will arm
himself with a shooter to repel rob
bers.
The Cleveland administration has
been a law unto itself in its action
against three hundred thousand pen
sioners that it charged with fraud.
1t charges these men with fraud, but
violates all principle npon which law
is based by calling the pensioner to
prove that he is not fraud, not q
guilty man. That is the law OF a
despot. The law of freemen is that
when a man charges another with
being a fraud, he shall proceed to
prove his case by open proceedings
in court.
The robbery of the Express Train
in Indiana was followed few days
later by the robbery of an Express
Train near Boston station, Michigan,
about half past 9 o'clock on the even
ing of the 18th of September. The
train was tagged and 5 men masked
with revolvers mounted the train
two on the engine and three on the
express car. The engineer was ', sho,
and intimidated. The express agent
had a pistol pointed at him and ht
was ordered to open the safe yhlcf
he did. The robbers secured 30,
600 in currency from the safe. Al
ter scooping the safe the train wa:
allowed to proceed. One hundred
deputy sheriffs have been scattered
far and near to catch the robbers.
