The strikers still call the travellers at
tention to the insecurity of travel on ac-
count of the unskilled employees. Now,
and many will not 90 on account of the
unsafe feeling, but none attribute their

PLAIN ENGLISH.
Seattle lnteIligencer. I

In plain English Debs, who is Popu-
list, ike United States Senator PETER, has
from the beginning occupied the attitude
OF traitor, and his 1tterances, like those
of Peffer, were treason. PETER, in his re-
cent speech in the United States Senate,
talked fiat, uncompromising treason. He
is for the overthrow of the Constitution;
he wants the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives swept away and the Govern
ment aboiished; he demands the sus-
pension of the law that all business
may be forced to cease and that
all right of property may end and an
arcby ensue In these utterances
United States Senator PETER talked trea-
son. Judge Tuley, of the Chicago Circuit
Court, in charging the responsibility for
the frightful riots in Chicago on the Pull
man Company because it refused to arbi-
trste, talked anarchy.

WHAT is TIE COLOR OF
YOUR EYES.

Undoubtedly the most expressive
organ Of the human face is the eye.
1t has a language of itsOwn. which
may be only Interpreted by those
who have studied its interesting
dialect.
Tue color and form of the eye are
unerring indications Of character.
Take the color first.
Brown eyes Invariably indicate
sympathetic aud kindly disposition;
their owners are amiable and may
generally be reg,rded rs trustwor-
thy.
Gray eyes usually denote thought
fulness, tact, and discretion: while
black ones are almost always asso-
ciated with 4 rash and impulsive
nature.
Blue eyes may be variously in
terpretel, according to size aud
form. When they are normal in
size and very clear and sparkling,
their possessor is of an ardent,
hopeful. enthusiastic turn of min l
-vivacions and merry in tempera-
mert; but lustreless diminutive
blue eyes are not a good sign. most
especially when they recede far I'M
der tho forehead; they generally
show selfish. uDsympathctic and
suspicious character.
Large blue eyes ars usually to-
kens Of a receptive and potent
mind. sometimes allied with ex
treme constituencies and even jeal-
ousy.
Again, take the form ano size of
tho organ of vision.
Very large eyes in a diminulive
countenance are generally a sign
OF latent malevolence.
Oblique eyes Indicate crafsiness.
A foil round pupil denotes tickle
ness and passion.
Eyes partially closed are tokens
Of astuteness, often combined with
insincerity.
Blank staring eyes bespeak an
unoriginal mind. crude perceptions,
ard great prstentiousness.
A clear shapely pupil upon a
pure white iris suggests purity and
nobility Of character
Eyes that move slowly denote
innate shrewdness and tactful abil-
ity.
Diminutive black eyes beneath
heavy browA IRE tokens of great
sagacity and supreme cunning

VERY BAD POLICY.

We extract the following from
the proceedings of the Constitu-
tional Commission, which recently
met in Baton Rouge:
1.-The commission recommended
that article 125, referring to fees
and costs Of justices Of the peace
and constables in the country wards
be changed SO that no fees be
allowed by the State in criminal
cases, but that salaries be fixed and
paid by the police jury in the
parishes; and providing that no
mileage or fees be allowed to wit
nesses in these cases."
These propositions are both I'M
polite land unjust, and neither
should ever be allowed to stand.
bow can the police jury fix proper
salary to an Office that may never
occupy an hour Of the officers time
or that may take up much of his
time owing entirely To circumstances
of which neither they nor the
officers can know any thing about
until they happen. 1t is true that
there may be officers who abuse
their trusts and work their offices
for much more than ought to be IN
them. But abuses OF THE kind car
b more easily corrected in another
way. TO place all the justices and
ooneteblss upon . salary, would
most probably result in . bill Of
expenses to the parishes very much
in advance Of what they now pay,
while it would, most likely, lead to
some Of them being half paid while
others are paid double what their
services are worth.
The proposition to not pay mileage
and fees to witnesses would be an
outrage on the citizen that the state
would not allow one citizen to
practice upon another. To say
that . man may be compelled to
obey = summons as q witness with
out compensation is simple robbery
and is not entitled to respectful
consideration In . civilized COM
The state is able to pay
the witnesses it commands to
appear to assist in indicating the
majesty Of the law. Not to do it
would not only be wrong but it
would cause many witnesses to
evade summons and thwart the
ends Of justice. - Hammond
Graphic.
