Mark would do well TO order Bradstreet

are also editors. ] commend it to their
prayeTful and careful consideration:
BUTTE Mon. April What is undoubtedly
the greatest legal battle ever fought is that
over The Teccivership Of the Boston and Mon

sensational head tomorrow. The receiver was
appointed away back in December, hut mo

order that fhe sheriff put the receiver in pos

Now, pray tell me where there can
be found man, woman or child so
idiotic as not to know that the closing

of men out of work and with deputy
sheriffs posted about the different prop

If that does not render it indisputable
that Republican Prosperity is ON tap.
perhaps this dispatch will settle the

WHEELING, April 16-lt has been a Sunday
in name only on the lines Of the Wheeling
Railway company. There were several dis
/ turbances, the most serious occurring today
/ in Martins Ferry, attendant upon the com
| pany s first attempt 10 un cars through that
town. A car was sun ounded. and a spectator
attempted 10 pull deputy marshal from the
flaf1
the crowd retreated. After much difficulty
the car got back 10 Wheeling. Since then the
tracks in Martins Ferry have been loaded
down with distractions, some going so far as
to nail strips of iron across the rails. In
North Wheeling, also, cars were obstructed.
Tonight it Is learned United States Judge
Jackson will come TO Wheeling and open a
special term of court Monday. Persons ar
rested for violation OF his injunction will be
given trials at once. The situation shows no
improvement. and prolonged struggle seems
the only outcome.
That latter paragraph indicates
Marks modus operandi for securing
prosperity and the evidences thereof. If
he can find enough United States Judges
jackson to hold enough special terms
of the United States courts at enough
places, and can induce them to go one
step further in government of trusts, by
| injunction, for the Republican bosses,
and enjoin people from using their
tongues unless they talk his way, then
he will be happy as a clam at high tide.
That would answer as substitute for
| another alien and sedition law or for a
! statute authorizing prosecutions for
leze majesty until congress can be IN
duced to enact these latter

Item. A man at ST Charles. Mo.
commits sricide by hanging. by reason
of brooding over the absorption of the

Item The following dispatch is a
straw showing which way the wind is
blowing:
PH1LABRLrafA, April 3.-At a conference
! today between the glass manufacturers Of
south Jersey and the officers Of the Green
/ Glass Blowers union at the Hotel Walton. This
/ city, the proposition OF the manufacturers was
| reiected, and a strike is now said to be iueri-
fable, strike that will affect over $1,000 men
snd boys.
SBut if that bit of news is somewhat
disccNeaging to lover of his country
and of his kind the following telegram
must cause the heart of every true
American to swell with ineffable pride
