ANOTHER CASE IN POINT.

The Advertisera ahss more thap once called attention to the narrowness, in- tolerance and brutality of some of the union organizations of the country, and we do it in order that right-thinking union men may see to what extremes some of the unions are going. A case in point is the recent strike among the freight handlers at Alton, III. A circu- lar was issued by the local union which, as stated by The Chicago News, urged that no further supplies be delivered to the wives and families of the men who are working in the Alton freight houses. It was frankly a recommendation that the women ana children be starved in ofaer that pressure might thus be brought to bear upon the husbands and fathers who were working for their sup port" .,...
 The brutality of this order is seen when it is understood that certain freight handlers, either union men who preferred not 10 join in the strike, or non-union men who were employed to take the place of the strikers, can by this order be prevented from receiving provisions or other supplies and thus, as The News says, the families of these working men may be left to otarve unless they can get assistance from some other source. It appears that there has been some doubt as to the source of this circular, and on that point The News says:
 One would be loath to believe that any considerable number of American work ingmen would give countenance to such methods. Every manly trades unionist would scorn to make war on wom sn and children. The freight handlers should hunt out the authors of the. infamous circular issued ,ostedSfbly in their inter them. -takIN
 While it wOSAGe Ardato believe that any working man would virtually endorse a proposition to starve the wives and children of other working men. 1t Is also difhcult to believe that a circular pur pert ing to emanate from one of :he union organizations would be issued without authority. In either case the guilty par ties are disgrace to the laboring men of the country. 1

HERE'S A HOT ONE.

Up in the little town of Faribault, Minn., there is paper called The Pilot which found 1t necessary to explode the gestion by Mir. Bryan of Judge Clark as a Presidential possibility, and The Pilot thus slathers the pair of them:
 Any man who has raised" his arm against our country and its flag can never De President of the United States Judge Clarke was rebel soldier in the war of the rebellion. He lent his efforts to de- stroy the union and the starry flag. Such man can never be honored with an of the great nation he sought to destroy Such nomination should prove a gross insult to the old veterans who wore the would be call to arms to them to take thS field again to defeat the second time oy their ballots those whom they de- net With such a candidate for the pres idency the Democratic party should be buried too deep for resurrection. Yet an poses as a dictator of the Democratic party, proposes the name of this man Siarke as candidate of the Democratic political stupidity go farther?
 If We were near by and were a close friend of The Pilot we should advise 1t siiot thiS Juiy weather Is not good time for such heated exhibitions of itself as this. It should wait till cold weather sets in and then warm itself with hot ed- itorials and save coal. The caloric in the above specimen might cook a dinner if rightly directed, and the editor would feel better.
 We have little expectation of ever see- ing ''reber' in the Presidential chair not that any of them are not good enough, and some of them much better than any of the military gentlemne who have occupied that position since the Ire bellion" ended, but because there aM probably enough asses like the editor of The Pilot to defeat any man who wore a gray uniform. The Pilot thinks 1t is a Democratic newspaper. and perhaps it is, after kind. Evidently 1t is not an ad- mirer of MT. Bryan, which is something in its favor. If 1t can bring itself to see that there are no rebels" wanting to be President 1t may be able to digest its victuals better.

ALABAMA TO THE FRONT.
Judge Jones and Governor Jelks
 Strongly Commended.

New York Tribune.
 Alabama promises to achieve an envia- prosecution of lawlessness directed against the negro. The punishment of the conspirators who have been seeking to is being meted out by United States of f1cials,. and the slave drivers masked their operations under cover of State law and their poWers n Aiabama is entitled to credit for the efforts to stamp out this crime. The cases are being tried Alabama. and the leaders % in the prosecu- @ M ton are also Southern men. We notice a disposition on the part of some Alabama newspapers to show their customary at; government and the direction of the in- vestigation from the Department of Jus tice, and disposition to resent criticism vealed by. the crime. They show, how ever. no desire to excuse the slave driv- CTS. but denounce them as vigorously and
 This Is hopeful sign. quite in con trast with the Frequently observed rally of the respectable white elements to pre- groes. So also Is the action of Governor Jelks in ordering special term of the Circuit Court to :. try five white men Sharged wtS participation in the lynch boro. on Monday night.

Delaware has not the excuse of old passions, dangerously large population of ignorant negroes, a great deal of illiteracy among the ruling whites. and an inheritance of poverty from the war that has made progress necessarily slow, which account for many regrettable incidents in the history of Alabama. Yet. while Alabama is trying to put down the barbarian which condi- tions have fostered within her borders, Delaware deliberately surrenders for a time her government into the hands of the lawless elements. All honor to Judge Jones and Governor Jelks for their efforts in behalf of civilization.

wait for something that can be twisted into a message. be 1t as elementary as the "one. two, three which Mir. Tesla once found arriving from outer space on his wireless telegraphic receiver. What we have recently learned of the possibili- ties of wireless telegraphy, or of that still subtler form of radiation which is vaguely perceived in the phenomena of telepathy and thought transference, sug- gests that when Mars tries in earnest to communicate with us 1t will not be by mere heliography or flag wagging." We are daily getting wireless messages from the sun; why should not sentient be- ing send us one from Mars some day? But there is no use in being ''too previ- ous," and one must conclude that there is no ground for supposing that what Mir. Lowell saw was signal from Mars though 1t would be highly unscientific to deny the possibility of such an explana- ton.

Shepard-and Aycock.
 Brooklyn Eagle.

oEOOhlyH bdBle.
 The Eagle today publishes an article taken from The Evening News of Char lotte, N. C.. the leading newspaper in that State. favoring Edward M. Shepard of Brooklyn, for President, and Governor Aycock of North Carolina. for vice-Pres- ident, as the Democratic nominees, in 1904. Mir. Shepard Is so we'll knowh in this community that the estimate of him will be an interesting evidence of the eff have here been subjected to close and
 The impression which Governor Aycock has made upon No-therners who have heard his educational addresses, and who which he has done Tor e0ucation in his administrative office, Is very favorable. His earnestness his dignity. his consecra- ton to his views. his union of reserve with simplicity and the naturalness and the elevation of his manners suggests his sympathy with the people. while at the same time they also suggest self-com- pendence without aloofness. leadership without demagogy, and devotion to a chosen mission, in the belief that the convictions and to their duties, if made with candor and courage and without sophistry.
 We are aware that we are analytically expressing the impression which the late William Mckinley made upon those who knew him. but it is also the impression which Governor Aycock makes, and be- tween him, and Mir. Mckinley. allowing for difference of party and of environ ment there is marked resemblance. Governor Aycock could not have been long weaned when Lee surrendered, and that should make his eligibility to na- tional consideration ;-s complete as that of any Northern man born in the same period. He is sane on public questions He carried North Carolina on a platform of government by intelligence. and his party, led by him. carried it more than once since, on a platform of public tax ation for public education. to be impar- tially applied without regard to condi- tions of race or creed or circumstances.
 The conjunction of the name of the Brooklyn statesman with that of the North Carolina orator and executive is felicitous-and might become significant.

Slept for Twenty Years.

There is in Thenelles, in the depart

named Marguerite Boyenval who has
slept since the month Of June, 1888

NJ. Stiegler gives the following &C
count OF the case
Marguerite Boyenval had stroke
Of catslepsy after suffering great
shock, but it is not known whether
or not up to that time she had mani
tested any signs Of hysteria, although
she seemed to be healthy. After the
attack DR.. Charlier treated her by
metalotberapy, which was the fashion
at that time, then be treated her by
means Of electricity, but the results
were nil. He attempted simultaneous
Injections of atrophiue, which was the
only measure that had any effect, IN
this case sensibility returning to tie
limbs, but not to the head, this sem
sIbility. ~ the other hand, being
merely momentary. Nothing more
could be done, although suggestions
were made frequently. Many physl-
clans believe that the sleeper under
stands what is SAID to her and that It
is simply impossible for her to re-
spoud.
As matter OF fact, the patient has
not eaten for many years past and
she is now fed on peptone and milk
containing the yolks of egAs. The
breath did not raise the chest in the
least, the respiration was not apparent
and, while it evidently existed 1t was
so slight that it was impossible to
perceive it. While the woman grad
ually wastes away, this phenomenon,
without example in the history OF
medicine, can still last long time,
even for years"

The "FIying scotsman's" Run.

Thi. year, according to the London
Telegraph, will witness development
in non-stopping express trains. The
Flying Scotchman-King's Cross to
Edinburg-will from July lrun in two
portions. The first half will run t.
Dorcaster, l56 miles, without stopping
thence to Newcastle-on-Tyne, ll2
miles, and from that to Edinburgh,
l24l miles. But these performances
will be dwarfed by the enormous run
from Eugtou-Carlisle, 299 miles, on
the London and Northwestern, without
a stop. This run was long since pro-
posed and has actually been accom-
plished for the sake of experiment,
1t Is a very remarkable performance.
Assuming the average speed to be
about 50 miles an hour, the Engineer
points out, the duration Of the run
will be six hours. Taking consump'
ton Of coal at 40 pounds mile
the tender must carry about six tons OF
coal. Pickup troughs will supply Wa
ter. 1t seems, however, that it will be
necessary to carry two hremen. The
footpIate of modern express engine
is not a place of leisure; TIE shovel Is
seldom out of the freman's Land and
when it is be has many things 10 at
tend to. The strain on the nerves rep
resented by the six continuous hours
Of responsibility will be very heavy,
and the fireman will have to get five
tons of coal trimmed to the front Of
the tender and passed into the fur
mace. As for the engine, locomotive
work is now go excellent that six hours
continual running represents 70 dan
gerou. effort whatever.
