Hard Times Among Thieves.

Nothing comes amiss to the true thief now
adays. says the New York Advertiser The
light-hngered gentry can no longer pick and
choose as they used to. Time locks and cleo

Tor craftsman to rob a shop, much less a
bank. 1t is uncommon for crook in these
times to get money directly from his work
Instead ne makes of with the chatteIs on
which, after no little humiliation, he may OBJ
tain an advance from fence. The result of
all this Is that thieves who were won't to hold
up their heads and who scorned to carry off
any booty but money. or plate or Jewels have
been forced to come down almost to the lead
pipe lay"
Touching the lead pipe lay Capt Devery
tells a story which shows how the swell
thieves have fallen. Swapping Dan Doolev
patrolman, spied a little man seated on the
steps OF a tenement house. Guessing that he
was sleeping off drunk Dooley whacked him
couple of times with his stick. The little
man tried to rise, but failing Dooley grabbed
him by the collar. intending to Jerk him to
his feet The poliCeman's arm joints cracked
but he didn't bulge the stranger
"Phew! You're the heftest man Of your

replied:
Yes. I'm clinker Lemme be- I'm sick

AT this point another cop" came up and
recognized the civilian as Little Dan Dougan

robbing postOffice in New Jersey. When
searched he had l45 pounds of lead and con

His Queer Check Was Dashed.

They were talking about queer checks,
drafts etc, in one OF the local banks SAYS
the San Francisco Post, and gentleman not
long from Kansas City, Mo, finally told the
following:
Il was once employed he said ito collect
building firm Of Kansas City from an eccen-
trio old millionaire. How he made his money
1 don't know. for it is said that he could
neither read nor write, but he had it all the
same.
We'll, found the old boy down in his eel
lar, and was gratited to hear him say that he
could pay the bill at once. L haven't that
much cash with me, he said, but just wait a
minute.
He felt around as if looking for piece of
paper. and was Just about to offer him some
when mis- eye lit upon piece of board about
eighteen inches square.
Just the thing he said, and with that he
picked it up and made lot of queer looking
marks on 1t.
There" he said, take that to my bankers
and it will be all right.
i protested, but he insisted and finally
did as he said 1 handed the piece of plank
obviously enough, can tell yon,
to the paying teller, but what was
my relief when he merely smiled
studied the hieroglyphics a moment and
handed me $40. Then he laid the board upon
shelf and that was all there was to it. It
transptred that the old man had a system of
signs, all his own, which his tankers had
agreed to respect. All the same that bank
check seemed curious even to them and it is

When Tompkins' wife requested him to say
where he would go
To spend the summer she opined he'd saw he
didn't know;
But Tomp1ins he was wary, and he made the
madam blue
BY giving her an answer which showed
plainly that he knew.
II have place in mind, said he, that suits
me to a 7.
It's just about the finest place that ever did
see
There are no bills on Monday morn; there are
no bands that play;
There isn't any landlord vile to I'LL you with
dismay.
The cookings plain, but it is good, and bath
tubs there are free;
The meals are served at times when it is pleas
ing unto me:
The servants all are civil, and the company is
choice,
And in the running of the place we're sure to
have voice
THE rooms are bright and airy, and there's
plenty of EN-, too;
There S playground for the children and a sit
ting room for YOU
There is no bar attached to it, the guests
don't have to dress
Some sixteen times a day to keep them free
from mental stress"
And where is this?" said madam. "Where's
this paradise on earth?
This little summer Eden-where's this pearl
beyond all worth?
And Tompkins straightway answered her.
We haven't far TO roam;
It's situated here, my love, in our dear little
home"

Lovers owe their most distinguished
consideration to Justice Haggerty, of the
Adams street police court, Brooklyn. For
he has established precedent that will
be appreciated by all beaux who cannot
resist the temptation to call on their
best" girls, even if the evenings are hot,
and all bellies who would rather be
courted on a cool front stoop than in hot
and stuffy parlor. A policeman arrested
young man for doing his counting on the
stoop. did you never do the same thing

man. Never" replied buttons. "Well,
the court has, " said his honor, far away

people want to court on the stoop they
have a right to do so. The prisoner is
discharged"

The management of the survey has fallen
into the hands Of an INSCRIPTIONS ring, which
has treated it's most distinguished members
with coptumely, and latterly Mendenhall
himself has stricken out from the ma rs OF the
survey the names of the officers OF the survey
who had executed them-a most unjust and
Injurious piece OF spite-because they saw his
own inefhclency. Any member of the survey
who manifested restiveness under such &C
tion was deliberately reduced on the roster,
or threatened with dismissal. Mendenhall' s
conduct has throughout been that of a mean
despot, and his total ignorance of the work
ing OF the survey has done 1t great and con-
tnuouS injury. 1t is therefore most deVoutly

There have been some pretty heavy
rains lately. But rams should not be de-
pended upon TO flush the sewer traps, for
the rain cannot do it intelligently. The
rain frequently fails to take out the
offal, which becomes offensive after some
time. No other guide than ones nose is
necessary to point out the traps that are
in want of attention. From early morn
ing until 10 or IL o'clock, especially GER
tain traps in the eastern part of the city
make their pungent protest against neg
lect. With millions of gallons of water
available for the purpose of flushing and
a force of hands available for the purpose
Of cleaning, it seems that the protests of
the traps should be unnecessary.

Hatch,s Anticipation Bill.
From the New Orleans Picavune

Should the bill ever be considered in the
Senate. IL is likely to be so amended that
even Mr.. Hatch will scarcely recognize it, 1t
is known that the Senate, and particularly
Senator George, the leading opponent of'op-
tions in the upper house, are opposed to the
position taken by Mr.. Hatch in seeking to
suppress trading in futures by taxing it ont of
existence. The senators are said TO be op-
posed TO using the taxing power of the gov
eminent for the purpose of regulating moral
problems, and prefer to attack option trading
directly by making il a misdemeanor, punish
able with fine in Imprisonment. This radical
difference in the attitude of the two houses
toward the system OF trading in futures is
likely to lead to the bringing in OF a substi-
tute for the House bill, and may even bring
about the defeat OF the entire movement, as
WAS the case In the Last cOnRreSS.

A remarkable operation was performed
a few days ago upon an English lunatic
who recently contracted the habit of
swallowing things. Among the miscel-
laneous articles he bolted were 1872 floor
ing nails, weighing nearly two pounds
half of a screw, piece of wire, two but
tons and a mass of matted hair. Nat
urally the mans digestion was impaired.
The operation, necessarily with the knife,
lasted two hours, when the internal junk
shop was cleared out. The surgeons,
when they had finished, said the man
might live.

Bernard Coleridge, son of the late chief
Justice of England, is hard headed fell
low A few days ago the MORNING News
told how, since his fathers death, he
would succeed to the peerage and would
be forced to give up his lucrative law
practice, because precedent said he must
IL transpires, however, that he will snap
his fingers at precedent and go on with
his practice, upon the assurance of the
attorney general that he cannot be com
PEELED to stop. He is a member of the
House Of Lords, notwithstanding which
he will continue to be barrister in the
courts. The idea of peer pleading law
suits is something that astonishes Eng
land. IL is rather to be regretted that Mr.
Coleridge, who was a member of the
Commons, did not stick to that as well as
to his law, and let it be tested
whether there was any power that could
make him peer il he didn't want TO be
one.

There is to be a labor convention at
Springfield, IL, next month to consider
plans for uniting the Knights of Labor,
Farmers Alliance and American Railway
Union in a political and industrial league.
Schemes for amalgamating industrial
bodies of diverse interests have been tried
before, but for some reason or other have
always failed. 1t may be that the forth
coming convention will break the record
and make a compact that will satisfy all
the parties to it.

II appears that northern and western
republicans are trying to make political
capital out of the recent address in Rich
mond by the Rev DR.. Cave. Various
business men and the Lee Camp of Con-
federate Veterans. of Richmond, have re-
ceived letters from people and Grand
Army posts in the north and west, asking
if they indorse the sentiments expressed
by DIR. Cave. At meeting of Lee camp.
few nights ago, spirited discussion
arose over what should be the reply to
such a query. Knowing that no good can
possibly come of agitating a matter that
could have no effect but to revive sec
tional feeling, it would be the part of
wisdom for southern men and societies to
decline to be catechised with regard to
DR.. Caves address.

tax under the pending bill. When it is pro-
revenue in the old way by raid on poverty,
and only one-tifteenth by taxation according
to means, Mr.. Hill calls it a sociaistic raid
on wealth! When the democrats of New

serting that he ran away to avoid the

somebody. But Mr.. Croker will do no

England is now pretty well provided
with heirs to the throne. There is the
Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and
the little fellow who arrived three days
ago at York's house. The newcomer, by
right Of succession, may be king some
day. But he will not if those ahead of
him cling as tenaciously to life and the
throne as his venerable and esteemed
great-grandmother. Wales has been the
heir apparent until he is gray headed
and grandfather, and still the time
when he shall become king is in the dim
and distant future. Another thing that
diminishes the royal infants chances of
ever welding scepter is the growing

CURRENT COMMENT.
Anything to Catch Votes.

Is Not somebodv Mistaken ?

The Populists demand government
ownership of the railroads because they
want lower trafic rates. The argument
they advance is specially attractive to
farmers. 1t is that if the government
owned the railroads the traffic rates
would be much lower, hence they would
receive larger profits on their crops
1t is fact that will hardly be denied
thatvery few Of therailroads now pay OPP
Grating expenses and fixed charges. The
fixed charges under government owner
ship would not be much, if any, less than
they are now, because the government
would have to pay the market price of
the roads before it could get possession
of them.
The American Railway Union has just
declared in favor of government owner
ship of railways. For what purpose?
Not that traffic rates may be reduced,
but with the hope of having the wages
of railway employees raised Does it not
look as if the interests of the railway
employees and those of the shippers are
antagonistic. The populist party repre-
sents the shippers, not the employees.
Do the populists expect that the govern
ment would run the roads at loss? OF
course they do not, because the loss would
have to be made up by taxes collected
from the people. The people wouldn' t
stand being taxed for any such purpose.
They would insist that the railroads
should be self-supporting and having the
votes they would control the roads so as
to prevent any additional burdens from
being placed upon themselves.
Such being the case, if the traffic rates
should be lowered the operating expenses
would have to be cut down, which means
that wages would of necessity be reduced.
1t does not seem, therefore, as if railroad
employees would gain anything if, the
government should become the owner of
the roads. ...
If the government should acquire the
roads there would be railroad bondhold-
ers Just as there are now. The govern
menJ hasn't the money to buy the roads
outright. 1t would have to issue bonds,
and would have to pay interest on the
bonds.
Just what the populists and the Ameri-
can Railway Union hope to gain by govern
ment ownership of the railroads is not
apparent. Can they point out what they
would gain} If they can it is time they
did so. Thus far they have contented
themselves with proftless and impracti-
cal talk. A little sound, common sense
would be refreshing

Our dispatches of yesterday reported
that 1.-THE anti-administration people" of
Atlanta "have drawn their dirks on Judge
Turner and will fight him to the bitter
end" If that is correct Judge Turner
could hardly ask for anything better.
The democrats of Georgia in the mass
meetings recently held have pretty forci-
bly, declared that they will stand by the
administration, and that they will not
countenance or support attacks upon the
President. An anti-administration attack
upon Judge Turner would at once put him
in the lists as the defender of his party,
and that would draw democrats to him
who have heretofore been in doubt on the
senatorial question. The antagonism of
certain elements in politics is preferable
to their support, as may prove to be the
case in this instance.

SOURCE OF A LONDON PLAGUE.
Typhoid Germs in Water Crcss Irrigated
With Foul Water.

London. Dec. 12.-The origin of the
TYPHOID fever epidemic that has ragged
in this city for several months and
which has baff1ed alike the health au-
thorities and private physicians, is now
believed to have been discovered, A
short distance outside of London is a
tract of land of over one hundred acres
devoted exclusively to the raising of
water cress, of which the English peo-
pie, poor as well as rich. are great con-
sumers. A few days ago a delegation
of health officials, believing they had
traced a connection between the cpl
demic and the use of the cress as food,
paid visit to the farm and made the
extraordinary discovery that the water
that flowed through the bitches for the
propagation of the cress was strongly
permeated with sewage and that con-
sequently the germs We're absorbed
by the plant and thus likely to be com
municated to the individual partaking
of the cress. When it is considered that
over five thousand punches of water
cress are brought into the city every
day from this farm. the wonder Is that
| the epidemic has not assumed the form
of a veritable plague. The authorities
have done all that they can do by issu-
| ing an order prohibiting the sale in the
| city of water cress from this locality.
