FRIGHTENED THE HoooLuMs.
A Snowballing Gang in Cross Street De-
featcd by Strategy.

feated by Strategy.
"That was rather a neat way friend
of mine got the better of hoodlum
gang Of snowballers one day recently
said Hornby at the club, according to
the New York Sun. "There were about
fifty boys of various sizes and ages,
most of them above ten years, and they
had taken complete possession OF a
block on one of the cross streets up
town. Every man who came into that
street was snowballed out of it, and
the drivers and their horses were mer-
cilessly pelted. Whenever a policeman
would come in sight loolzouts would
notify the gang and they would move
to another block and the reign of ter
ror would begin there. If man de-
eided to chase one part Of the gang the
others would move up close behind him
and make the attack so terrific that ia
nine cases out of ten he would be glad
to flee for his safety.
''This friend of mine happened along
when such bombardment was going
on, and he saw man wild with rage
escape with hat gene and clothes be-
spattered from head to foot. Now it
was necessary for my friend to go into
that street to serve legal paper. He
saw the householders crowding to their
windows and enjoying the sport almost
as much as the boys, and he knew that
when his turn came not only must he
run the gauntlet of a terrific fire, brt
he must be subjected to the ridicule
and laughter of the spectators. He
shut his lips tight and went in. He
had been particular to notice a heap of
pretty clean snow about one hundred
feet from where the attack would be-
gin. His hat was soon knocked off and
the snowballs ware pounding him on
the bare head and on his clothes. He
made for that heap Of clean snow as
steadily as he could, and just as he
reached it and just as ball struck hln
on the head near one of his ears he
threw up his hands and fell into that
snow as if he had been knocked uneon-

she had planned this from the start.
There were cries from the spectators,
and shouts that the man had been
killed Instantly every one Of those
street Arabs fled, and in the twinlsGing
of an eye not one was to be seen. 1t
was an easy matter for my friend to
pull himself together again, and then
he went en- unmoIested,p

fiuntington,s Arrest.

The arrest of c. =. Huntington yes
terday for violating the interstate COM
merce law by giving man a railroad
pass will revive interest in the subject
of railway deadheadism. As matter
of fact there is probably just as much
OF 1t now as there ever was, all nation al
and state prohibitory laws to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Even in New York, where an anti
pass clause has been tackled onto the
state constitution, making the accept
ance OF pass by any state official a
form of bribery, the memb ers of the
legislature have hit upon a scheme for
evading the payment of railroad fares
themselves and making the people pay.
The legislature did not like the idea of
paying fare and so a bill was intro
duced providing for purchase of tick
cts out OF the public funds. When
Governor Morton heard of il he gave
notice that he would promptly veto
the bill if it should ever reach him.
Doubtful OF a sufficient vote to over
come the veto, another device for evad-
ing the constitutional prohibition was
sought and found. 1t was discovered
that a great many things required in
vestigation, especially in New York
city, where a number of members are
accustomed to HE themselves on pri-
vate account, at the railroads expense

thing than a free pass with the other
expenses out of the legislators per-
sonal pocket is to have not only rail-
road fare but hotel expenses and ex-

Ben Harrison Again.

According to an associated press
dispatch this morning, some enthusl.
astic friend of ex-President Harrison
has nominated him as the republican
candidate for president in 1895 on a
bimetallism platform. Undoubtedly
Harrison comes nearer being a silver
man than almost any other prominent
eastern republican now before the
country. He is not so bold and
staunch friend of silver as Cameron
by long shot-he is trimmer and
take him all in all pretty shifty fell
low He has declared himself bimet-
allist, and we will not dispute his
word. But by the same token he will
not be the republican candidate for
president next year. The goldbugs
will make determined effort to con-
troll the next national republican con-
vention, and they will succeed. They
will also make great effort to con-
troll the democratic national conven-
ton, and whether they will be success
full or not is still an open question.
We do not think they will.

Two pounds beef, plate.
One pound beef, lower round.
One juicy beef bone.
Four leeks, good size.
Two carrots. medium size.
Two turnIps. medium size.
A little celery and parsley.
One onion.
Five cloves.
Asmall teaspoon Paresian essence.
A small handful of salt.
The carrots should be scraped and cut in
two or four pieces, according 10 their size |;
the same with the turnips. The leeks are
cut in two and a small bundle is made of
the white part, the green is tied with the
parsley and celery. Ali the vegetables
should be carefully washed, especially
Ieeks, which always have sand inside the
leaves. The cloves are set in the onion.
The pot should be large enough to contain,
besides the meat, the water and the vege-
tables and have room left for it to boil
without bubbling over.

Pennsylvania has just abolished the
practice Of kissing the book" As we
understand it the Quakers, male and
female have no objection to kissing
one another, but they draw the line at
an old greasy copy of the Bible. The
Pennsylvania act of 1772 authorized
the taking ''of any oath in the usual
and common form by laying the hand
upon and kissing the book, or by lift
ing up the right hand pronouncing
and asserting TO the following words, y
etc. The legislature by the act APP
proved last week amended the act of
1772 by striking out the words "by
laying the hand upon and kissing the
book" so that there is no longer any
authority in the law of Pennsylvania
for the form of oath known as kissing
the book.

THE FuRoRE FOR FREE COINAGE,
Judge Goodwin Regards the News From
the East Glorious.

Judge Goodwin Reg srds the News From
the East rs Glorious.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.
The news yesterday morning of the
growing sentiment IN the East for free
coinage was glorious. It IL becoming the
rage among the people. This condition
has long been predicted by the Tribune, II
once the facts about silver could be
brought to popular notice. For years we
have maintained that the spread of light
among the voters of the eastern states
was all that was needed to insure the tri-
umph of the white metal. First of all,
silver 10 as royal q money metal az is gold /;
IL Is depressed for the sole reason that 1t
IL not recognized by the law as perfect
money, but even in it's worst estate IL Is
still the perfect measure of values, all
other things of product and purchase
stand in the same relation to gold
that silver does; the fall in prices is
merely, therefore. not an actual fall, but
in fact, il the measure OF the appreciation
Of gold; the condition is precisely the
same as regards all trade and industry as
IL there was an acknowledged pre-
MUM Of one hundred per cent. on gold,
and we were yet calling gold the only real
money; in consequence of this, industries
languish, there Is no profit in production ;
debts cannot be paid, and labor cannot be
employed. And all this is for the benefit
of foreign trade alone, regardless Of the
thirty-fold greater amount of our domes-
tic trade. 1t is as II the power Of q giant
should be measured against that OF q
child, and he be forbidden to exert more
than o childish strength. As we have
shown repeatedly, the East 10 as much
more interested in the demonstration
of silver than is the West, as the
gross value of the products of the East ex-
ceeds the gross value of the products of
the West. Aud the people of the East are
beginning to see the point. 1t is q glorious
day-break.
The bold stand taken by Judge Neon
nell of Chicago for free silver is siguifi-
cant of the feeling in Illinois. He Is
candidate for governor, and OF course
sees that free silver Is bound to win.s We
believe that IL the democrats of Illinois
come out for free coinage and the repub-
licans Of that state refuse, the democrats
will elect their state ticket as easily and
by as strong q majority as the republic
cans carried the state last year.
The East Is getting thorough aroused.
AS never before the newspapers are dis
cussing the silver question. In past years
it was impossible to get any rational
words from the eastern press about sill
yer, and extremely hard to get any thing
into their columns that favored silver.
They didn't discuss the question:; they
sneered, denounced and called ma mes.
Now there is marvellous change.

tras furnished out of the public treas
ury. As result of this discovery
about one-fourth of the New York leg
islators leave Albany every Friday and
return on Monday, the intervening
time being supposedly spent in "inves-
tigsting" somebody or something, and
all the expenses of travelling, living
and etceteras being taken out of the
pockets of the taxpayers. 1t is richer
thing for the legislator than the free
pass of other days.
Here In Montana at the session of
the legislative assembly last winter
there was a faint movement to pro-
hibit the members and everybody else
from accepting railroad passes under
good, round penalty, but the move
ment did not move to any appreciable
extent after it was discovered.
OF the issuance of passes, like the
making of many books, there is no
end and there won't be. II the rail-
road corporations see a possibility of
there being anything "in it" for them,
they are as ready to give a man q pass
as he is to accept it-and that is say
ing a good deal. Human nature will
have to improve vastly before the era
of railroad passes ends.

We regret to learn of the serious diff
ferences between the brewers Of
Omaha and their employees. They
have gotten together on every propo-
sition except one, but that involves
certain rights and privileges guaran-
teed the employees by all precedent
and tradition, and which no self-re-
speeding brewery operative should
reasonably be expected to forego. The
owners Of the breweries were willing
to concede the men free beer at the
hours of 8, IL, IL, 2, 4 and 9 o'clock.
The men insist that they shall be per-
mitted to imbibe every hour. The
owners declare that six times day is
enough, and that they cannot afford
free beer all day, as under such an ar
rangement some men would drink
thirty glasses. But this the men say
is rank sophistry and CALLING tyranny.
The outcome of this great strike wilt
be waited with deep anxiety.
