The settlement of the tin-plate scale by compromise between the conflict ing claims is a satisfactory and promis- ing solution of one of the wages dis putes. By this settlement 10000 work CTS are assured of an advanced rate of wages for the ensuing year. The dis pute was between the offer of last years rate of wages by the employers and the demand of 15 per cent. advance on last years scale by the workers, The compromise gives the men part of the advance demanded, the exact ratio of the gain being variously stated from to per cent.
 It is thus to be seen that one of the wages disputes,of which calamity howl CTS attempted to make capital, has been promptly settled with an advance in wages averaging about per cent. And it is also to be seen that 10000 workers engaged in the manufacture of tin plate are many. A few years ago the free traders said that a tin-plate in dustry could not be established in the United States.

MURDER OUT.

Murder will out--sometimes And that it Is out in the New York case which has been attracting general at tention for the last ten days is encour- aging, for the murder of Guldensuppe was extraordinarily devilish. Thorn. or Torzewski, has made confession in which he says that he killed Gulden- suppe by shooting him when he (Gul- densuppe) went upstairs in the house at Woodside which had been hired by Mrs. Mack. He said that Mrs. Mack was outside the cottage when the mur- der was done, and that she didn't help cut up the body, but this part of his confession will not be believed by those who have carefully watched the devel- opment of the affair. If she didn't help him in the actual deed it was only because he didn't need her help, and not from any lack of evil intent or nerve in her. She lured Guldensuppe out to Woodside and urged him to go into the house where Thorn was await ing him.
 That Thorn has kept out of the hands of the police as long as he has shows what can be done, and perhaps he would never have been caught if he could have resisted the temptation to visit and talk to his old friend who gave him away" But fortunately for society, criminals usually have soft or weak spots in them and do as much as anybody to bring themselves to jus tice.

THE TARIFF AND THE CURRENCl

THE TARIFF AND THE CURRENCY.
 We'll, the tariff bill passed the senate yesterday and though there will be some further talk about it it will soon be law. And 1t is possible that cur rency reform may also soon be under way. It has been generally believed that the president would wait until De- cenlber before tackling the currency question, but 1t now appears that he has a message concerning the matter all ready to send to congress. He sioners who can go to work immedi- ately and have their report ready for the next regular session in December
 It has not seemed probable that such action as the president is going to ask for would be taken at this session, on account of the free silver senators, but the president is going to test the mat ter, and he Is certainly in as good a position as anybody to know what can be done. It is possible that he has information that encour- ages him to act. It is to be haped that something will be done With the new tariff law in operation and an able currency commission a, work the situation would be much brighter than 1t has been.

HOW RECEIYERS RECEIVE.

Some novel and refreshing judicial views concerning receivers have been put forth by the Common Pleas court in Philadelphia. The particular point decided was that bondholders could bring suit for the foreclosure of first mortgage. although the company was in the hands of a receiver. In discuss sing the case the court observes that a receiver with power to carry on a busi- ness is no obstacle to a suit on a first or other prior mortgage which is in de- fault. It declares that the claim that when property is placed in the hands of receiver with authority to continue business it is in the hands of the court, is a mere legal fiction. This is called preserving and improving the property but for other than its just creditors, while 1t is being improved out of their claims. When the receivers are sued they run to the courts which appoint them and claim sanctuary there If creditors petition for leave to intervene, they are refused. They are told that 1 they cannot sue without leave of court and when leave is withheld they are held down while their security is being diminished. Then, on the application of the receiver, the court authorizes him to borrow money to pay those un- secured creditors who are persistent anG will not be put off with further excuses and the court assumes the power tc
 make this new indebtedness, generally called receivers certificates, a lien prior to existing encumbrances.
 How much support these views vii find in the higher courts remains to bs seen, but they will strike those whc have ever been "in the hands of receiv.
 CTS" as quite true.

tobacco because in the old days little tobacco came into Japan and the tariff was very high. We are frugal and abstemious people, The masses in Japan have but little money to waste on luxuries. In ancient times they had much less than they have now. They earned little and so they could spend little. The tiny tobacco pipe of Japan is survival of the days when money was scarce, tobacco dear and tariffs high. In a generation or two when all Japan-Dai Nippon-shall have taken her place among the wealthy nations of the world the old-time pipe will be as much of curio at home as 1t now is abroad. ."-Tobacco Trade Journal.

MODERATE SMOKING IN JAPAN.


 I asked a Japanese friend of mine who called on me the other day during his brief sojourn in New-York with Marquis Ito, in whose suite he is, why the Japanese use such very small pipes
 A Japanese tobacco pipe holds merely pinch of tobacco-less than would suffice for the making of half ciga- rette, say. Moreover. the tobacco smoked by the Japs is exceedingly mild.
 The Japanese, who, like my friends, have been educated in the United States or in Europe smoke cigars like the rest of us and cigarettes, too; you won't seee a Jap smoking any of the small pipes of his own country when- ever he is away from home. Yet In Japan the tiny pipe is seen everywhere, and had it been left to me to explain | why so vigorous and virile a people are content to get along with so little
 tobacco, should probably never have
 solved the problem. When asked my diplomat friend to solve 1t for me, he | laughed softly for a moment, and then said:
 | None of the American or English
 men who go to Japan and then write
 about the people and the country have
 given this subject any attention. If
 they ever do, the world will probably
 be told that the Japanese smoke little
 tobacco in little pipes because the aver
 age Jap Is little man and takes Lili- putian pleasures. Or, the Western
 world will learn that the Japanese are
 a poetical people and recognize the
 small pipe of tobacco as the perfect
 type of a perfect pleasure as an Eng
 lishman once called the cigarette"
 Yet neither of these is the true ex- lplanation. The Japanese smoke little

Macon is running a municipal farm, and doing 1t successfully, too. It Is a small one, comparatively, comprising sixty acres, and it is devoted to the raising of food for the fifty horses and mules which the city uses in work on the streets. When not otherwise em- ployed these animals are used in work ing the farm, while the manure from the city stables fertilizes it. Under these conditions the only cost in opera tion is for the labor employed in plant ing and harvesting. From forty acres of oats crop of 2,5O0 bushels, of an es- timated value of s75O, is expected this season. In addition $3,0OO worth of hay is looked for from the other twenty acres. From @ measured acre of land last year there was cut 5,4OG pounds of fine hay. This was after a forty-bush- el crop of oats had been harvested, and nearly enough to make certain another cutting of hay before frost. It had long been the custom of the city to rent this land at s5 an acre. Now it's value in annual product is figured at over s6( per acre.

A HORSE THAT EATS RAW MEAT

A HORSE THAT EATS RAW MEAT. The most extraordinary appetite known in a horse belongs to Billy, a handsome bay owned by A. Decourtieux X Son. the butchers of the Pacific Fruit Market. Horses are frequently known | to show liking for sugar and in stances are related where they would drink beer, but who ever saw a horse | that was fond of meat and fish? | Billy's duties are to draw the firms delivery wagon, and his stand is on Merchant street, in front of the shop. Here he is often on exhibition, eating with an apparent relish steak, liver, tripe and, in short, almost any variety of meat handed him. Sometimes, after having had his fill of oats and hay, he refuses to munch meat, but this seldom l occurs.
 l Billy's appetite developed several months ago. No one knew of 1t until one day he was seen to reach into a butcher-eart that was tied just ahead of him and calmly begin eating steak. After that he was fed often with the firms wares, and many bet has been
 won and lost on his appetite. | The horse formerly varied his earn al meals by purloining fish. but he was cured in manner that was ludicrous
 to the spectators, but very painful for the equine phenomenon.
 He reached into a fish-wagon one day when his olfactories detected the odor of his favorte smelt. but an active and
 belligerent crab took offence at the
 intrusion and promptly fastened to his
 lower lip.
 Billy shook his head frantically and
 whinnied in pain. but the crustaeean
 held on until he was crushed by being
 banged against the\ side of the wagon.

' Kansas Is not as gloomy as she was. Colonel E.. R. Moses, of Great Bend, says: We shall raise millions of bush els of wheat this season, and there is no telling how much corn It is look ing very fine now, and we hope to have the greatest crop in the West. During the last two weeks we have had over i've hundred people come into that part of the State looking for work in the harvest fields. They came from Neb- raska. Colorado and Missouri, and from different parts of our own State. Every man has had a job given him in the fields, where he can earn good living and get good board while doing the work. It looks very fine, can tell you, for our western farmers to be hir- ing hands again and rushing their work along like they did in the good days when we had no Pops and hard Hines. If we are so fortunate as to get our big crops harvested and sold for fair prices this fall we hope to be so well fixed that there will be no calam- aty wail and therefore no tunefuI song of woe for the Pops, but it will be well tor Kansas.

About two month ago a party by the name q. Sells was arrested in the bot tom, charged with hogs; ealing. Afte, many postpoDtmenls. the case finally ended in holding Sells over for th, Ciicnit court The cost in Nelson :. count amounted to Sllj. A change ol venur had been asked for and refused on some trchnical grnu. d| App!ica ,ion was made tn Judge Hutton. who remanjrd Sells back to Nelson, and < change ui venur was taken t. SuuiIe
 ialfuId. After a number of atteu h, { to come t0 trial the case came up las, week, and Sells was again remande,l to jail to await the action of the grand jury. The cost in Raiford's court amounted to $50. The value of the hog was about two dollars. There should he some remedy for this reckless expenditure of the peoples money. some measure taken to expedite trials. not only in magistrates courts. but in the circuit court, would meet with the apprubation of all.
