pErRAYAL OF CONFIDENCE.

7, all the controversy that has raged
around the Clark letters, nothing has
been written that will be more univer-
s.,1v commended by all honest men than
tho following editorial in the current
number of the Biblical Recorder, puo-
lished in this city:
Though in no position to give special
advice TO any political party. 1t Is not
foreipn TO the Recorders function as a
religious journal to condemn to the ut
most the recent exposure OF personal ana
confidential letters in North Carolina.
There are no words too strong for the
branding of this variety OF treacnery.
That If proceeds from one who has been
Governor OF our State is the more Ia
mentable, and, for the honor and the
veal Of the Commonwealth the more
cause for unreserved condemnation.
Time will come when men will not
stoop to touch such letters. when news
naDers will not dare 10 insult their
readers with such dishonor, when no
amount of special pleading will suffice
to condone such an abuse of that relation
between man and man without which the
race would quickly return to barbarlsm.
Even now he who has done this thing
has won for himself disgrace that viii

tunities were larger, it is true; and they

"He who destroys faith in mankind

all that this man has lone or may do

II SHOE PINCHES.

As long as government by Injunction
only put the striking laborer or mechanic
in contempt and in iail without trial by
jury, many declared that opposition to it
was confined to agitators. Now thai an
attempt is being made to use it against
the beef trust, there is a mighty out
cry in Chicago among the trust folks
against this one man method, and a
clamor for trial by jury. 1t is a dan
gerous method and ought to be seldom
invoke
The very men who advocated trial by in
junction when that method was employed
against Debs are now crying out against
il more vehemently han Debs ever did.
They feel the shoe pinching.

Joys the distinction of being ac-

United States Volunteer Life Saving

ognizing the rescue of 20 lives from
drowning during the past summer. The
presentation was made by Commodore
Theodore Krombach, at the Yacht ho-

with becoming modesty, reports the
Brooklyn Eagle.
On two previous occasions Mr.. Lyons
was honored by the corps, and numer-
Gus bars to his lengthy medals r the
acknowledged recognized rewards for
rescuing 81 lives all told. Mr.. Lyons
has many other rescues to his credit

"How We Set Our Watches by a
Star" is told by ". S. HARDWOOD in st.
Nicholas, who says:
1T is three minutes to nine o'clock
at night. The official in charge of a
great observatory, the Goodsell OBJ
servatory, Mortified, Mimi, is pre-
pairing to send out the time to the
people living in his section of Amer

on a telegraph-instrument at his
desk, spelling out the word time,
time, time;' then he waits an in
slant. Then he turns to his tele-
graph-key again. Eleven thousands
of miles of wire are open to him; he
is ruler of them all. Every tele-
graph-instrument in all the vast ter
ritory of which the Goodsell observa-
tory is the center is silent; every
operator has taken his hand from his
key; throughout the whole length OF
these thousands of miles there is a
strange silence.
1.-THE seconds are slowly ticking
away. Above the head of the OBJ
server there is a great observatory
clock. At precisely two minutes to
nine, after the t~elegraphers all along
the miles of wire have been notified
and have withdrawn their hands from
the keys, the wires r switched into
a connection with the very clock it.

every throb of the news of all lands

wires from the great heart of the
world ceases; even the sad messages

LOG DRIVERS MAKE A RECORD,
Didn't Paint Bangor Red and sQuan-
der Their Wages as Usual
the Last Year.

Something unprecedented happened
to the Penobscot river log drivers
this season, or at least to those who
navigated the west branch drive to
boom.
Usually this drive, the largest sim
gle lot of logs in Maine or in New
England, gets into boom in August,
and in years past it has been known
to arrive as early as the Fourth of
July, but last year, through a series
of delays and mi~sfortunes, the logs
did not reach their destination until
the middle Of November, says the
New York Sun.
The drive had, when it started
from the head of the Chesuncook
lake, about 80 0 1000 feet of logs, and
was nasigated by $50 men. At Millin-
ocket a good deal of time was lost
in sorting out 50,000,000 feet that be-
longed to a pulp company. The wa
ter fell rapidly, it being a very dry
summer, and when it began to look
as II the big drive would be hung
up still more men were added to the
crew, making in all 300. This army
of drivers managed to keep the logs
moving, but ice was making in the
river and there had been a big snow.
storm when they were finally dis.
charged and paid off.
In Bangor, in the course of two OF
three days, about $4,000 was handed
out to the drivers and they had nc
sooner got their pay and begun tc
think about the usual celebration
than along came agents for lumber
men and offered them high wages tC
go at once to the woods and cut
more millions of logs.
This wa hard on the West Branch
ers. If they refused to go up the,
might not get another good offer
as the season was late, while if the,
accepted they would miss their usua
