Cliff johnson, wAe was set upon by sew
eral men on Tuesday night to the west Of
the Aqueduct bridge. 8near the Green
Springs tract, is reported to be in a dam
gerous condition. Johrsm's skull was frac-
tured in the contest. The man was on the
way to his home at Lineolnsville. to the
other side of the Chain bridge, with $14 in
his pocket and two pairs Of children's
shoes. The attack eame9unexpectedly. The
ruf11ans numbered six or seven, and john
son thinks they were mixed in color. He
fought them until felled with a club or
stone. For a time hei lay weltering IN
blood and weak from exhaustion. Then
partially recovering he staggered half a
mile to a lodging, where his wounds were
dressed. Yesterday he was taken to the
hospital.
Johnson was foreman at one Of the Vir-
ginia stone quarries. He had some trouble
with his men, it is said, on that day, and
friends of the victim believe that the as
sault was the result-a piece OF revenge.
The robbery of the man, though, tndi-
the murderous attack. Johnson does not
seem to know definitely whether laboring
quarrymen were engaged in the assault
or not.

An American gentleman of the best
type left US when Richard Vaux of Phil.
adelphia departed this life. Whateve,
wild eyed anarchists say to the contrary,
high breeding, educational advantages
and refining influences in early life dc
count, and count for much. Parents owe
1t to their children as an apology 70,
bringing them into the world to sur.
round them with all the advantages O,
this kind that lie in their power.
Richard N2uX enjoyed whatever mon.
ey and high social station could give
him all his life. In youth he was strik.
ingly handsome. He was also what men
would call lucky, Honors came tt
him of themselves. When only 20 years
old, he was chosen secretary of legation
to the American embassy in London.
The appointment was a surprise TO him,
and he did not want it. He accepted it,
however, and made a most brilliant and
popular official. Queen Victoria was
then in the bloom of her bright, sweet
youth, idolized by her people, enjoying
keenly the social pleasures she has
eschewed for SO many years. At a court
ball the brilliant, handsome and high
bred young American secretary Of lega-
tiOH danced with Victoria herself, and
he was the only American who ever had
this honor
Richard Vaux's life was a most busy
me. In politics, in business or in phi.
ianthrory he never wearied. AS one of
the trustees of Girard college he trans.
formed the instruction there from useless
pedagogical learning to a course which
embraced the training of poor boys in
useful trades, thus anticipating the
change in education now taking place
all over the country. When he was
mayor of Philadelphia, he used often to
go out to fires at night, to see for him.
self whether the service was prompt and
efficient. He was in his seventy.n ninth
year at the time Of his death, but still
actively in the swim Of things, as all old
people should be if they would keep
mind and body young. The last public
duty of his life was discharged when, a
few days before his death, he conducted
a Legislative committee through the
Eastern Pennsylvania penitentiary. He
was president of the board of inspect
ors for the prison. Richard Vaux was q
lineal descendant of William Penn.

Since the beginning of this year there
have been distressful want and suffer
ing in certain parts of three states-Ne.
braska, Kansas and lastly Colorado.
With all the surplus wheat and cotton
of last year, this condition must not be
allowed to continue. Generous hands
are already bringing relief. 1t is to be
noted, however, that the restitution has
been in every case in the wretched so
called rain belt which covers a certain
section of the Union. The starving
farmers ought never to have settled
there. The soil is good with irrigation.
Without irrigation it is worthless. This,
undoubtedly, many of the landsharks
who sold the ground to the deceived ag-
~riculturists knew beforehand. They will
fully and deliberately sent people who
trusted them into the arid region to

In his abandonment of the principles

Grover Cleveland has climaxed his

has abandoned that which was the bull

doctrine expresses the policy of the
United States, as it does the sentiment

the spirit of that doctrine. No Euro.

into a position to control the Nicarag-
