der French CoIors.
ZANZIBAR, April 10.-A British cruiser
has seized dhow sailing under French
colors and having on board sixty chill
dren which had been kidnapped from
Zanzibar by Arabs under French protec-
ton and evidently intended to be dis
posed of as slaves. The incident will
be used to enforce the protest of
the British against the course of the
French authorities permitting the use of
the French flag by the Arabs in kid
mapping both slave and free children,
thus making the French flag cover for
the slave traffic.

Ohio.


PoMERoY, O., April 1O.-The forest
fires in this section have been the worst
for twenty years, owing to drouth and
high winds. On the West Virginia
side the fire from the burning
of Clifton spread to the hill
and burned miles of fences and
hundreds of acres of woods. On the
Ohio side there have been numerous
fires Of minor Importance, the greatest
being near VAUDEVILLE, in Meigs Coun-
ty, where $4,000 rails and one section
Of timber were burned. In Vinton
County there were three sections
burned over from which the timber had
been cut off last season, and which was
a mass of leaves and brush. Several
small houses were burned on these
lands. The copious rains of last night
have placed everything out of danger.

but into a career that brought him
reputation, influence and wealth. He
was the founder Of the modern agri-
cultural journal. He was pioneer
in carrying to the common people
the theories of the scientists. He
made the American 'Agriculturist one

this the publication Of books suited
to the farmer and the stock-raiser,
and contributed as much as any other
one man to the progress of the farm
ers Of this country. His paper, the
American Agriculturist, up TO 1873,
had rapid growth, and at that date
had over 100000 subscribers In the

SOME PROPOSED NEW LAWS.

The attempts of certain corpora
tions and firms to blacklist their en-
ployes who belong to labor organiza-
tions or to prevent them affiliating
with any union or association for
mutual protection will be promi-
nent feature of legislation this SEES
sion. Senator Wall has introduced
this bill:
1t shall be unlawful for any fndiydull,
or member of any firm, o. agent. officer or
emplOye of any company or corp ration to
prevent or attempt to prevent employees
forming joining. and belonging toany Law

vidual member. agent, officer or emp!oye
that coerces or attempts to coerce en-

poration because OF their connection with
such lawful labor organ2a ion. shall be
guilty of u misdemeauor, aud upon convic-
tion shall be fined in any sum not exceed

three months, or both, in the discretion of

This act shall take effect and be in force

There are indications that there
will be thirty or forty bills introduced
for cheaper textbooks in the public
schools. The announcement some

ures has already alarmed the school
book trust. and l.. NJ. Dillman, Of
Chicago, has FASTENED to the capital
to guard the interests Of the trust
and has been in conference with
various influential members Of
the General Assembly. 1t is
apparently the design of the element
which controls the Senate to make
up a Committee on Education which
will be favorable to legislation
against the trust and for uniform and
cheaper text books; so it is probable
the schoOl-boOk monopoly will pursue
its tactics Of two years ago and at
tempt to defeat legislation by con
trolling the makeup Of the members

ton.

GOV. ALTGELD'S INAUGURAL.

The inaugural address of Governor
John P Alleged is one of the ablest
state papers ever presented to a legis-
lature in this country. 1t opens up
some live questions of great moment,
and recommends reforms that have
been needed for years.
The message is printed in full upon
the first page of THE EAGLE, and the
careful attention of everybody is in
vited to its wise counsels.
One matter touched upon, how
ever, cannot fail to be of the greatest
interest to Chicagoans, and that is
the reference to the maladministra-
tion of justice in this city. On this
subject the Governor says:
Practically there is at present
neither magma charta nor bill Of
rights for the poor of our great cities.
They have to submit to insult, as
sault, and false imprisonment, and
have no remedy except suit at
law, which takes from three to five
years and requires time and money
to prosecute, so they are practically
without remedy Any man. rich
or polr, taken into our higher
courts. no matter on what charge,
can have jury trial and full and
fair hearing before sentence can be
pronounced against him, but in the
magistrates court they deprive him
of a jury trial by requiring him to
advance the jury fee, which, when
Ioor, he cannot do, so that he is COM
PEELED to submit to anything the
magistrate may do, which frequently
means anything that police officer
may wish to have done. +

Chicago AMI other cities of raids be.
ing made 10y the police in the night

more men and women. sometime,
only women, arrested and carried tC

"Thesc so-callcd raids neither pre-
vent nor punish crime, but are simply

that real criminals frequently ply
