In reading the big city paper these
days-that is, to read it understand
ingly-one must read between the
lines. 1t is outwardly highly ~virtuous;
that is, it lauds virtue and honest
dealing in the abstract, and denounces,
with scathing invective, dishonesty
and wrong-doing, public or private,
30 long as the advertising counter does
not suffer. After Arnold had closed
his shop and fled the country '.for his
country's good" one journal coolly an
nounced that 1t had known for a year
that his business was a fake and a
swindle. Yet up to the very day of
his skipping out that paper published
his advertisements without a word OF
warning to the public regarding the
character OF his business" IT'S true,
that sheet was not the only ''honest
money" paper in the city which did
this, but one Of the others, so far as
l have heard, claimed to know at the
time that Arnold was a thief and a
swindler. A strong suspicion is 10
the minds Of the people they did know
1t, and that the advertisements were in
the nature Of bribes to keep these
papers from telling all they knew or
suspected. II this be the case, the
offence against the public is as much
to be condemned and deserves as

The boodling investigation goes

may escape; but there is n thing 10

country if. one divulges anything he
renders himself liable to prosecution.
Perhaps we are behind the times in
this as we are in many other matters
pertaining to the more advanced CON
ditions of urban life. And then, may
be, the big city papers are mostly lying.

The woman's testimony before the

shame or tremor Of guilt. Another

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON. Sept 27-No announcement
has yet been made in regard to the recon-
struction Of the Cabinet Lord Miner
left Carlsbad yesterday morning on his
way to London. where he will arrive this
afternoon.
The purpose OF his visit is wholly con-
jectural. The latest report is that he
hesitates to accept the Colonial Secretary
ship on the ground Of bad health.
Apersistent rumor was current last night
that the Duke Of Devonshire. President Of
the Council, had resigned, but this is denied.
The Daily Mail asserts that he will good
naturedly remain in the Cabinet at the
urgent request Of the King who prefers
not to have an immediate breaking up of
the Ministry.
The same authority adds that the Duke
OF Devonshire will remain in Office on the
express understanding that if the Govern
ment takes any action which seems to him
to be subversive Of free trade principles
he will resign.
1t is declared that Mr.. Richie and Lord
George Hamilton were kept in ignorance
Of the fact that the Duke had resigned
when they resigned. 1t is also said that
they wrote justifcatory letters to Prime
Minister Balfour, as Mr.. Chamberlain did,
but their letters were suppressed.
The Standard, Ministerialst organ,
says 1t hears that Mr.. Brodrick will remain
as Secretary Of War.

BOUNCED BY THE BARTENDERs.
Union Delegate Thinks 1t Was Because He

Union Delegate Thinks II Was Because He
Was Too Expensive-C. r. U. to Ask Why.
The remarkable statement was made
at yesterdays meeting Of the Central
Federated Union by Henry Meisel, delegate
Of the Bartenders' Union that he had been
expelled from his union for asking for too
high wages. Some Of the delegates looked
surprised, others laughed.
you needn't laugh, said Mesel shaking
his head. God knows labor has come to a
fine pass when men are fired from their
unions for asking for too high wages, espe-
cially when the men are paid as low as are
bartenders. I always understood that the
object of labor unions was to keep up wages,
but perhaps arm getting old-fashioned.
Several delegates wanted to know the
reason for the unions action. Meisel could
only shake his head and say with tears in
his voice that he didn't know. In the dis
cussion which followed, the delegate of the
Smoking Pipe Makers Union. to his own
apparent astonishment, was charged with
bringing about Meisels expulsion.
What have the pipe makers TO do with
the bartenders, any way?" ask ed delegate.
A committee was appointed to find out
and also to discover why Meisel had been
expelled
