Important Arrest OF Moonshiners at Ash
tabuln.
AsHTABULA, Nov. S.-United States
Marshal w. G. Haskell and Revenue
Officer A. j. Symes, of Cleveland, as
sisted by Officers Squires, Parnell and
Waidley, raided two illicit applejacls
stills in this city Monday night and
made some important arrests and dis
closures. The first raid was made at
the residence of John Clark, on the
East side, where several gallons OF
whisky and all the paraphernalia for
the manufacture was found in sec
ond-story room. The second raid was
made at midnight on the saloon of
John Kinney, on Center street, and n
still discovered in full operation in n
back room. Over sixty gallons of ap-
plejack whisky and two wagon loads
of stills and outfits were seized.
Marshal Haskell was asked as to the
significance of the arrest. He said that
| he believed it to be the most important
| arrest of its kind which was ever made
| in Ohio. He said that Clark was just
closing his place of business when
placed under arrest. Both of the ar
rested men were greatly surprised.
Marshal Haskell says that other ar
rests may follow. Clark had been do
ing big business and he thought that
it might be possible that he was sup
| plying local saloons with whisky.
Three years in the penitentiary and
$1,000 fine is the penalty for Illicit dis
tilling.
! Both of the offenders were brought
to Cleveland yesterday and locked in
the county Jail. Clark is charged with
knowingly and feloniously carrying on
the business of distiller without Civ
ing bond, and Kinney is held for know
ingly and feloniously removing spirits
from distillery upon which no tax has
been paid. Each appeared before a
United States commissioner and in de-
fault of bond, which was fixed at So, 500,
they were committed to jail
With the capture of the offenders
was also made a capture of all of their
equipment. Clark's place was located
on the east side of the village of Ash
tabula, on what is known as the Gulf
hill, and Kinney did business right in
the heart of town on Center street.

are populist tickets in most of the coun-

they have no opposition.

Swedish Honesty.

A point which soon attracts the at
tention of travellers in Sweden il the
punctilious honesty and truthfulness
Of the inhabitants. This is best seen
in the many little incidents of daily
life. When asking for places ut
theatre, for instance, the ticket clerk
never fails TO inform the applicant if,
owing to the crowded state of the
house, better position would be Sc
cured with Il cheaper ticket than the
one asked for. Again, when parcels
are taken out by steamers from Stock
holm to country places in the neigh,
borhood, they are just thrown out on
to the quay, where they frequently re-
main half the day without being
claimed. 1t never seems to any one
that they could possibly be taken by
anybody but their rightful owners.

book lies in the saloon of the steamer,

The San Francisco Chronicle notes
that Japan is reaching out for new
fields to colonize. The success of the
recent experiments in Hawaii has
stimulated the Mikado's Government
to endeavor to repeat this work in
Mexico and Australia. On the coffee
and sugar plantations of Mexico great
difficulty is experienced in securing
good reliable labor and in the Austral-
ian colonies every device has been
tried unsuccessfully to fill the demand
for hands on remote ranches. The
Japanese are not ideal laborers, but
they are far superior to the South Sea
Islanders that have been tried in
Queensland and other colonies at the
antipodes. We do not care how many
of the Japanese swarm into Mexico
and Australia, but we are not anxious
to see them enter our ports for were
this immigration encouraged it would
result in the same evils that have fol-
lowed the influx of the Chinese.

A GruesOme Occupation.

The macchabee men, or fishers OF
dead bodies, of Paris, France, who ply
their doleful trade on the Seine be-
tween the Auteuil viaduct and the Bill
lancourt bridge, threaten to go ON
strike owing to the slowness with
which their money premiums are paid.
Pere Joseph, the senior member of the
profession, has been fishing for mac
chabees or dead bodies for the past
twenty-five years, but he and his com.
panions are now idle as he has not
been paid for the last batch of corpses
sent to the morgue. Joseph sent for
ty-two macchabees to the city dead
house last year and was paid three
dollars each for them, his total gains
being about one hundred and twenty
six dollars. This year the trade
seemed to be improving; the morgue
literally overlooking with bodies taken
out of the river, and in one day he
made twelve dollars. That money,
however, he has not yet received, al
though it has been due for fort
night, and hence he has laid down his
ropes and graphing iron until the city

ate him and his companions for their
services, shall be more expeditions in

Says the New York Sun: 'fThere is
evidently great deal for woman to
learn in the domestic arts and sciences
at the Chicago Exposition outside OF
the beautiful building dedicated to her
special honor and instruction. There
is a variety of cooking exhibitions, and
one of them is especially to be COM
mended. This is the exhibit devoted
to the illustration of all the uses to
which the products of maize, or corn
as it is universally called in this coun.
try, cdn be profitably and palatably
put in the economy of the household.
Although the queens of the American
kitchen have been supposed to be well
acquainted with corn meal, it appears
that there are many grades and modi-
fications of the familiar yellow flour,
and the ingenuity of a celebrated de-
monstrator of the culinary art has
evolved some forty savory products
with such queer names as "plunkets,
'jolly hoys," ''mu-kia-h-we" and "kia-
mu-ia-li-we. 1t is to be hoped that
these articles all taste as sweet under
any other name. This exhibit ought
to prove of further use as showing to
foreign visitors the value and desira-
bility of corn fours for human food.
The use of American corn before it has
been transformed into pork for the
table is little known abroad. 1t was
not known at all until special com
missioner, Mr.. Murphy, was sent to
Europe by Secretary Rusk of the De-
partment of Agriculture to give lee
lures and demonstrations of how pala-
table and nutritious dishes could be
made from a grain which, on that side
of the Atlantic, fed the lower animals
alone. As a result of his efforts the
knowledge of corn flour has become
quite usual among the culinary experts
of Paris, Berlin and Vienna, and as
soon as the peasantry of Europe have
become acquainted with n the foreign
market for our corn will be ap-
preeiably enlarged. II is to be hoped
that the appetizing exhibit of johnny
cake and its fanciful derivatives at Chi
cago may lend added fragrance to
every breakfast table in the United
States, as well as make all Europe &C.
quainted with a wholesome, nutritious,
cheap and Palatable article Of food"

In the Century George Kennan 70.
plies TO the recently published defense
of Russia made by the Secretary Of the
Russian Legation at Washington. Mr..
Kennan presents large array of facts
to controvert the assertions Of Mr..
Botkine. "a striking proof of the
impoverishment of the Russian peasan-
try is furnished" he says. "by the Of
fetal statistics with regard to the nun.
Der of farm animals in the Empire, and
particularly the number of horses.
Every American farmer knows that he
would find it extremely difficult, if not
absolutely impossible, to work his land
without the aid of horse and that
the complete absence of horses on q
farm is an unmistakable evidence of
extreme poverty and destitution. What
is the condition of the Russian peasant
when tried by this test? In the year
1882 there were in the village COM
munities of European Russia s, 9,079, 924
peasant households. OF this number
2,437, 555 households, representing a
population of perhaps IA, 900, 000, and
constituting twenty-seven per cent. of
the whole agricultural class, did not
own single horse. OF cSurse these
$4,000, 900 people had not always been
without horses. They had lost them,
partly through contagious diseases,
which they knew not how to combat,
partly in forced settlement of debts to
money-lenders, which they were un-
able to pay, and partly as the result OF
the ruthless aud short-sighted policy
of Government that sells tho last
horse of poor peasant farmer for
taxes, and thus renders it almost i'm
possible for him ever to pay taxes
again. Mr.. Botkine refers in his arti-
Gle to the recent famine il Russia as a
calamity that gave the American peo-
pie an opportunity to show their SYM
pathy with the people of Russia. I
wonder whether it ever occurred to
him that the calamity to which he re-
fers was permitted, if not caused, by
the 'benehcent sovereign whom he de-
fends; and that the distress which
called forth our sympathy was the
work, in large part, of the very Gov
ernment that he describes as natural
and satisfactory The famine of1s91-
80 was not one of the sudden, unfore.
seen, and unforeseeable catastrophies
that are described in bills of lading and
insuraee policies as acts of God;
neither was it due solely to the un-
favorable meteorological conditions
which brought about failure of tho
harvest. 1t was the result, in large
part, of the oppression and maladmin-
istration TO which the people had been
subjected, and was merely the culmina-
tion of a long-threetened crisis. The
economic condition Of the peasants in
the famine-stricken provinces, and
particularly i'll tho provinces lying
along the Yolga River and its tribu-
taries, was almost hopeless before the
harvest failed"
