The Sunday law zealots in Pittsbnrg
have gone a step beyond ever the he
roic treatment attempted in New Or
leans. The Sunday newspapers are
now attacked by the Pennsylvania
pseudo-moralists, who declare that
they will file Information against all
carriers and news agents who assist IN
the circulation and distribution of these
"enemies of God and man, Editors,
reporters and compositors are to be
:Sraciously spared a night in the police
station /; for their responsibility, says
the moralist, is not of their W seek
ing, but is shifted upon their shoulders,
by " mercenary employers 1t cannot

suit was the destruction of a large num-
Der of coal barges owned by Pittsbnrg

During the winter it is expected that
wheat from the West will go to Europe
by way of New Orleans. Shipments
have already commenced to turn south,
as eastearn merchants have ceased buy
ing for lake shipment on account of the
probability that navigation will soon
be closed by ice. Tho all-rail rate from
Chicago east is five cents a bushel more
than by lake and canal. and as much
more than the rate to seaboard via New
Orleans. The difiulties which were
encountered last year in shipping to
New Orleans will not be met this year.
Trains can now cross the Mississippi
river az Memphis, thus avoiding the
expensive transfer by boat, aud the en-
larged facilities of elevators in New
Orleans will enable them to handle
gram in much greater quantities than
last year. 1t is expected that about q
DOC, 900 bushels of wheat monthly will
go to New Orleans for export during the
ensuing five months.-The Trader.

The States takes pleasure in approx
ing and urging the adoption of the
plan suggested by the Times Democrat
to hold a convention of the Governors
of the Southern States for the purpose
of devisiug ways and means to induce
thrifty immigrants to settle upon the
fertile u%ncultivated lands of our val
leys, but we believe that the efforts of
the convention should be confined to
securing immigration of Americans
from the East and West rather than TO
attract an infl1x of foreign ers. The
South is to-day the only distinctly
American section Of tire United States,
and it should remain so, because there
arc thousands of hardy American farm
ers ia the Northern and Western States
who, understanding that s~ectionalism
has been buried forever and that the
country has entered upon an era OF
peace and prosperity which the Repnb-
lican party will eve be able to dis
turb, can be Induced to settle in the

Though so young, SHE already measures
7 feet 10 inches in height, and is still

her say that there is every prospect OF
her gaining another foot. She was
born 10 the south of France, and is on
her way to Chicago, to be put on ex-
hibition. Her hands are IL inches long

9 The discovery of gold in the San
Juan mountains in the southeast por-
ton of Utah has caused n stampede as
great as that to California in the days
of '49. 1t appears that already over
seven thousand people have found their
way to the new diggings and others are
coming with a rush. The gold region
extends up the San Juan river for a dis
lance of $50 miles and spreads towards
the Carlo mountains for even a great
er distance, consequently prospectors
are stalking off claims as fast as they
arrive From accounts which have
been published of the discovery it
seems that the gold is found in the
gravel and sand bars along the river
and in the loose soil of the valley, and
is obtained by the method known as
placer mining and with comparatively
little expense. A n1mber of the claims
which are now being worked yield
ahont $50 of gold to the ton of gravel,
sand or earth which is washed, and
these claims, many of which cover ten
and fifteen acres of ground, are of great
value to the owners, because there is
no outlay necessary for machinery, as
is the case when shafts and tunnels
have to be sunk in the sides of noun
tains to follow veins of gold bearing
rock.-States.

The Militia Should be Better
d Provided For.

The militia companies Of Louisiana
are more %niggardly treated in the way
of appropriations than those of any
State in the Union, and were it not for
the spirit of patriotism and love of mil
itary glory common to most of onr
young men, the State conld not in
times OF emergency summon to its aid
enough men to form IL corporal's guard.
The entire annual appropriation would
not be sufficient to properly maintain
suitable armories, to say nothing of
keeping q force i'll the field any length
of time. With the paltry sum appro
priated by the State the maintenance
of the militia force falls heavily on the
members, who work for nothing and
find themselves, yet are ever ready to
respond to the call of the constituted
authorities. An efficient military force
is a most necessary ~appendage of our
form of government and liberal appro-
priations should be made for it's main
teDance. With a mixed population
such as that of this State, strikes and
disturbances are likely to occur at any
moment which would be extremely
hard to control or subdue without a
military force to support the civil arm
of the government in upholding the
laws. We have just passed through a
crisis that should open the eyes of cur
law makers to the necessity of making
more liberia provision in the way oil
appropriations for the State militia and
placing it on a footing to meet any and
all demands made mon it,-B. r

excursion and entertainment worty of
so important an event as the clubs first
outing. The date settled upon is Thurs
day, July Is, and special train to Lake
Minnetonka is to connect with one OF
the large steamers which will be char
tered for the occasion. After trip on
the lake. the pleasure-SeekcrS will be
landed at Minnetonka Beach to enjoy a
dinner at the Hotel Lafayette.
Following the dinner will be an elab-
crate entertainment, the details of
which have not as yet been announced,
but are in the hands of the committee on
entertainment. 1t is known, however,
that the services of some very talented
people have been promised, and that
prominent part has been assigned to
Frederick Bancroft, who has promised
to produce several of his most clever
experiments in the mysterious art of
which he and Hermann are the ac-
kpowledged masters. Among the illu-
sions which will make up his pro-
gramme will be his wonderful billiard
ball trick, which awakened such
intense admiration at the Mime
sofa Boat clubs last entertainment.
The remainder of his programme
has not yet been decided upon.
Following the entertainment an in
formal hop will be arranged in the Lafa-
yette'S dancing parlors, Selbert's Or
chestra furnishing the music. Other
forms Of recreation will be provided for
those who do not dance. 1t is expected
that the returning train will reach st.

which caused the original trouble.
