It is suspected that the Syrian3 who are wandering over the country peddling Eastern trinkets and begging are employed under the padrone system, and are methodically shipped to this country to work for masters. The New York immigration commissioners are making an investigation, as the Syrians continue to come. If they are likely to become useful citizens they should be welcomed like ether people, but if engaged in enforced service under a padrone their coming should be stopped. A Complete Exposure and Its Results. Afail and Express.

On Tuesday of last week, in an editorial entitled 4 The Milk in Mr. Harold P. Brown's Cocoannt, we made the following statements 4 4 Mr. Brown, it appears, is inimical to the Westinghouse system, and nothing would do but he must use a Westinghouse dynamo in his experiments and in his machine for killing convicts. Of course the use of this dynamo for such a purpose would discredit it and might induce people to be afraid of it and to prefer some other system for use in their business.

4 This appears to be at the bottom of Mr. Brown's zeal. in the whole matter of electrical execution. Yesterday the Sun devoted nearly a page to the publication of a series of letters written by and to Mr. Brown, in which it is clearly shown that Mr.

Brown is not only inimical to the Westinghouse system, but that he received money from its rivals in business for getting a Westinghouse machine used in his shocking experiments and his apparatus for killing convicts. In fact, he has conducted the whole affair as a business operation, to discredit one company and to benefit others in whose interest he was working. Mr. Brown has made some money out of his little scheme, and he has made a reputation, Whether there was enough money to compensate him for the reputation he alone knows. Now let this electrical execution farce come to an end.

It is revealed in the letters from the managers of the rival companies that they are not all sure that Mr. Brown's machine would kill the convict, and that they do believe that his method might produce physical torture. This ought to settle the matter, if it were not already settled. The law must be repealed, and old-fashioned hanging must continue to be the method used in executing the sentence of death. H.

The Syracuse Standard says 4 The chief reason at the bottom of a growing sentiment in favor of taking the wonderful Adirondack country under public care and ownership, ia the unwillingness of the citizens of the state to be deprived of it, and see it devastated, or passing into the hands of wealthy monopolies. These people manage to have a great deal to say whenever the Legislature undertakes to deal with the question in an efficient manner. We venture the opinion that the woolen concerns have been for four years increasing their obligations and gravitating toward the troubles that have come upon them of late, and that which has done most to drive them in that direction has been the hostile policy of the Treasury Department. Its rulings have been in the interest of free trade and the importers. A vast power rests with the customs officials in the determination of the duties, and the power has for four years been executed against our home industries and in favor of the foreign manufacturer.

It has hurt hurt badly. Hartford Courant. The Charleston -Vpics and Courier proposes a new Southern policy in regard to the negro. It is outlined in the following 4 4 The country is large enough for the colored people to make their homes in some part of its unoccupied territory, where they can acquire land and establish themselves in communities of their own, under their own local government, and where they can develop all the powers they have and exercise all the rights and privileges of American citizenship without challenge. A few years later the West will be filled with foreign immigrants.

The time for the colored people to move, therefore, is now, and tho white people of the South should devote their whole attention and energy to promoting the movement in the best interests of both races and of the whole country. The Chicago Inter-Ocean says of the address of negroes issue'd at a meeting in Waco, Texas 41 The tone is singularly temperate in recital of the wrongs to which they are subject, singularly firm in assertion of the rights of which they are deprived, singularly candid in ascribing to many of the white people of the state a desire to see justice done, singularly modest and manly in the just pride with which it narrates the successful efforts of the negroes to improve their condition. It is not the presence of negroes, either in theaters, hotels, or railway cars, that is objectionable to the whites of the South. Only let them be present 4 as servants," and no white objects. The thing objected to is the presence of negroes able and wining to pay for first-class accommodations it is the progress of the race that is hateful to tho whites.

dispatch of Thursday says: A committee of visiting Dunkard has just rendered a verdict of guilty against Elder John C. Johnson, of this place, who was charged with laxity of discipline in allowing the sisters of his church to run oil after worldly fashions in wearing big bonnets, feathers, bangs, bustles and other personal ornaments contrary to the rules of that church. Elder Johnson and his congregation will appeal to tho General Conference. Charles Dudley Warner fa rather annoyed at always being considered a humorous writer. He much prefers a reputation as a high authority on criticism or philanthropic topics than as a ''funny man.

Recently, in a conversation with him, he told a friend that ho was much annoyed at times by being introduced as the author of 4 My Summer in the Garden. He much preferred a reference (if one must bo made) to his efiorts in bringing about prison reform. A man who has been working' country towns in East New Jersey with the old swindle of selling alleged gold rings and making presents of gold watches, begun business from his buggy in Belleville, on Wednesday night. After he had gotten well under way, some person in the crowd cut the traces of his harness, and when Ihe fellow attempted the trick of driving suddenly away his horse started, but lef tho buggy behind. The man was compelled to refund the money to his victims, and finally slunk out of town dragging his buggy after him.

For some weeks past a most curious game of ball has been in progress in the shop window of a Brooklyn tobacconist. The players are little papier mache skeletons, about half a foot high, such as you see in tho Japanese stores everywhere. The diminutive diamond is mapped out with little foul flags and chalk lines, and a skeleton mans every position of the in and out field. The astonishing part of the whole is the wonderfully exact mimicy of attitude of the players. The grotesque exactness of every detail is startling, and evidences the master hand of some close student of the ball field Sosie idea of the fury of the Johnstown flood and of the havoc caused by it may be gathered from the fact that though the Pennsylvania railroad company has been bending all its energies since the flood to the work of repairing tho damage done to its property, that work is still far from being completed.

Twenty miles of new rails have been laid and a new bed made for that distance. It was over five weeks from the date of the flood before trains were running on as many tracks as they did previous to The preliminary skirmish in the Cronin murder trial at Chicago, was concluded Monday night and both sides rested until this morning, when it is expected the hearing will be resumed. Extraordinary interest is excited by the trial and the proceedings will be keenly scrutinized by thousands of readers, quick to appreciate the hidden significance of questions and answers, and appreciating deeply the wide-spread interests affected by the issues involved. That the suspected men will be convicted is openly doubted by those who have studied the case most closely, but it is possible that the prosecution is in possession of unexpected evidence more conclusive than anything the newspapers have been enabled to adduce. It is possible, but it is not probable.

Some of the best detective work in tbe Cronin case has been done by the newspaper reporters and if the authorities have made important discoveries of which the public knows nothing, it will not be the least remarkable feature of a most remarkable tragedy. A brief epitome of the case at this juncture may prove interesting. Dr. Cronin was carried away from the house of the Conklins May 4th and some days afterwards his remains were found in a sewer opening. On the head were the marks of murderous wounds.

Subsequently the floor and walls of a cottage in the suburbs were found to be stained with blood and in one of the rooms there were other evidences of a desperate encounter. One of the men, Martin Burke, who had rented the cottage and was paying for it at the time of the murder of Cronin, has been found and identified, and one, O'Sullivan, an ice man, had apparently made arrangements to lure Cronin at some time to his ice house near thi3 bloody cottage. Beyond these facts as stated very little is definitely known. Theories innumerable have been propounded and in the public mind there is a clear and well settled belief, but if the accused are to be convicted, it must be direct testimony testimony, it is more than possible, which must bo wrenched from cunning hands which are backed by strong and unscrupulous influences. That Cronin death was the result of a great conspiracy is almost universally believed, but legal proof of the fact and the identification of the guilty, constitutes a tremendous task.

EXFOSTS AND The following figures sent out by the Treas ury Department, in reference to the foreign trade of the United States, are given in a form convenient for making comparisons Seven Month ending July 31, Imports $463,117,614 413 Uil Ulil IjAIUI Excess of Imports Seven MonOus ending July, 31 18SS.

For the seven months ending July 31, 18S8, the excess of imports was 732, 656. This is a gain for the seven months period just ended, over that of last year, of $26, 546, 265 toward an even balance of trade. For the twelvemonths ending July 31, 1SS9. the excess of imports was $7, 104, -056. The excess of imports for the twelve months ending July 31, 1888, was 649.

This is a gain for the year just closed over last year, of 27, S5S, 593. The gain for the year $27, 858, 593) was made almost entirely during the last seven months of the year ($20, 546, 265) show-that the advent of a Republican administration had been signalized by a revival of home industries and renewed activity in productive pursuits. The free trade agita tion during the Cleveland administration had a depressing effect on American business interests. It spread abroad a constant fear that our markets, with protection broken down, were to be flooded with foreign products, made capitalist! timid, business men cautious, and restrict -ed all kinds of enterprises. But with the threatened blow averted, confidence is being restored.

The mischief of the free trade agitators can not be undone in a moment, but its evil effects are beginning to pass awav. Commerce is moving in the right direction, aDd the indications are that be fore many months the balance of trade will be on the side of the United States. The protective tariff, together with the certainty of its continuance, is doing its legitimate work. This work will receive a still stronger impetus when the government adopt3 a liberal policy toward merchant ships which carry the American flag. the preliminary canvass for local Republi can nominations, there are one or two spirited hut eood-natured.

The Republican organ, which has more than once declared that it would not on any account attempt to influence party action ia regard to nominations, came out tins morning virtually in favor of three candidates, illiam K. erner for county juage, William A. Sutherland for senator, and Joseph A. Adiington for surrogate. But why has not the Republican organ gone further and advocated the renomina- tion of Mr.

Benton for district attorney. Post-Express, Aug. 27. The if it meant to be in genuous, would not hive asked the question last above quoted, a the Democrat and Chronicle distinctly disclaimed endorsing in advance any candidates not already virtually assured of unanimous nominations. The executive committee on site and buildings for the world's fair iu Xew York is moving with great promptness in the ex animation of site3.

Monday afternoon the committee resolved to exclude Central Park from consideration. To-day and to morrow will be spent by the committee in examining proposed sites upon the upper end of Manhattan island. One suggestion which has attracted considerable attont ion is from Colonel Korton and is accompanied by a description and map. Is proposes to utilize the shallow portion of "ew York Laibor Says the New York Times 4 4 The latest fad among the amateurs is catching pictures of the big ocean steamships which carry such crowds of passengers. The picture of one of the ocean flyers rounding out into the stream is always worthy of a place in the stenographer's collection, and certainly the vessels make fine targets for the camera -shooters.

Moreover, passengers on the boats are always desirous of securing a picture of the vessel in which they sail, to preserve a3 a memento of the voyage. So active young men, with their deadly little boxes, are frequently seen along the piers, snapping the slides when their friends appear along the rail, or perhaps quietly catching a glimpse through their camera of a pretty girl whose costume, face and figure attract the photographer's eye. A Chicago man used the telegraph, the other day, in an odd way. A visitor whom ho had met frequently in New York stepped into his office. It was business as well as inclination to be exceedingly cordial to the New Yorker, but for the life of him he could not recall the visitor's name.

In the midst of the conversation the Chicago man was reminded of a telegram he had forgotton to send. Pulling out a blank he sent the following to his New York house 4 4 What's the name of Jenkins' head man? Can't recall it. He is here. They chatted along for half an hour, when the answer came. It read 4 Simpkins.

44 And now, Mr. Simpkins, it is about time for lunch, remarked the Chicago man. 4 4 We'll go over to the club. I want you to meet some friends of mine there. There is a gold digger in Atlantic City.

His name is Amos, and he can be seen every fair day on the beach with seive and spade, close to the edge of the board walk, where the peanut shells lie thickest and the chance of lucre is greatest, Amos vigorously prosecutes his work. Every three or four feet he halts, deposits half a dozen shovelfuls of sand in his tub -like seive, rocks it back and. forth to get rid of the dross, then, when the last grain of sand has dribbled through, he proceeds to examine the result. Shoestrings, hairpins and rusty nails, together with the inevitable peanut shells, cigar stumps and tolu wrappers, generally form the bulk of his catch, but often a penny or a nickle or a coin of greater value peepa forth from the conglomerate heap, and speedily finds its way to Amos' pocket. He gets considerable money for recovering lost jewels and returning them to their owners.

4 4 Charles E. Siseme, says the St. Louis Republic, 4 4 sat at the table where Judge Terry was killed by Nagle. Mr. Siseme is an English traveler, just from India, and he never moved from the table or ceased eating until he had finished his breakfast.

This has been set down as an extreme case of nil admirari, but perhaps it was mere politeness. Mr. Siseme, having just arrived in the country, thought it was one of our customs, a part of our institutions, for an ex-state supreme judge to slap the face of a federal justice and then to be immediately shot by an expert in getting the drop. Your well-bred Englishman traveling in tho United States, never expresses surprise or disapproval, no matter what he sees or hears. He keeps his eyes open and his mouth shut until he gets home.

He then writes a book on the curiosities of American barbarism. A Chestertowx, Md. correspondent of the Baltimore American reports a queer mortality among the Kent county horses that is a puzzle to oldest inhabitants. 4 4 A horse belonging to Josiah Massey, Esq. a farmer living near Chestertown, while being bridled a few days ago for the purpose of being used on the farm, fell dead, and so did another belonging to Mr.

Henry Massey. The horse was quietly grazing in the pas -ture, when Mr. Massey passed near him and waved his hand to make him move. The animal raised his head and started to walk off, and fell dead in his tracks. A third one, belonging to Bradley Thompson, which had been put out to pasture, was found dead in the field, lying near a stream of water.

A fourth, belonging to Dr. T. II. Cooper, died suddenly, without a moment's warning, never having dropped or refused its food. The appetite of tho animals is good up to tho last moment, and iu some cases they have died with food in their moutha.

4 4 It is a good thing to be able to recognize an old acquaintance always, says the Portland (Me.) lYess. "John T. McCarthy and T. J. Hurley, of Bangor, who have been attending the National Convention of the Ancient Order of Foresters at Minneapolis, Minn.

found thi3 out while in the flour city. They, with a number of other delegates were walking one of the principal streets taking in the sights, when a policeman approached the group and singling out Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Hurley, informed them that they were under arrest. Their remonstrance was of no avail, as the officer said that he had his orders and must carry them out.

They, in much perplexity, marched along with the officer until another policeman was met. The officer who made the arrest then turned his prisoners over to the second officer with tho smiling remark that he had received instructions to arrest all persons from Maine found wandering about the streets. It seems that the officer was formerly a resident of Oldtown, and, recognizing Mr. McCarthy, and judging that Mr. Hurley was also a Maine man, had arrested them as a joke.

The site will also enable ocean steamers bringing exhibits to unload without the least difficulty in the immediate vicinity of the exhibition. It would be a great undertaking to put down the piles, but it might not cost much more than it would to grade the grounds in the upper part of Man hattan Island.

If the attempt were made, the shoal would probably be permanently occupied and might become very valuable as an annex to New York city. The plan will receive careful attention. O.te of the shows of the British naval parade was the White Star steamship Teutonic, carrying on her forecastle a fine bat tery of four inch, rapid-firing rifles. A high officer of the admiralty said that the guns of the Teutonic could sink Nelson's fleet, if it were in existence to-day, in a very brief space of time. This statement is not overdrawn.

The Teutonic could keep out of the way of the old sailing vessels and wing them one by one with the rapid-firing guns. The Emperor of Germany looked at the Teutonic's guns and told his staff to procure such arms for Germany as quickly as possible. The Teutonic is a part oe the British navy, and may be instantly taken from the passenger service. The White Star Company is subsidized by the government in re turn for the care taken to mruce the 1 eu-tonic a war vessel when she was built. This great ocean racer could do no end of harm ia case of war.

No unarmed vessel could escape her, and the heavily armed ships couid be easily avoided. Tre newspapers of New York city have published the papers in the Flack divorce case. The publication shows that the af fair was more scandalous than was at first supposed. The papers were given to the press under a ruling of Judge Allen of the court of common pleas. The papers show that a woman named Reynolds was the correspondent, and Mrs Flack says she never heard of her.

Lawyer Wright swears that he never made the motion for the ap pointment of Meeks as a referee although Judge Bookstaver is represented as making the appointment on motion. Perhaps the matter will now come to tbe attention of District -Attorney Fellow and the governor. Both should be interested, but there is no evidences that they dare to punish the conspirators as they deserve. The St. Louis reporter who enlisted as a private in the regular army for the purpose of investigating the manner ia which the men are treated by the officers is providing his paper with 6ome decidedly entertaining reading matter.

He claims that life is made a hell to the privates in the Jefferson barracks and recites at length the various indignities to which they are subjected. According to his history men are strung up by the wrists until they swoon from weakness and in the guard house vermin make con finement a torture. Of all this it may be said that it is important if true, but the young man's story will require strong sub stantiation to effect anything like a reform. The newspapers all have kindly and appreciative notices of Henry Shaw, the St. Louis philanthropist, who has just died.

He came to this country from England when a young man and rapidly acquired a large fortune. The study of botany was the passion of his life, and with his ample means he was enabled to enjoy the best collection of plants and flowers in America. These gardens he has bequeathed to the city and his immense fortune is given to aid various charitable enterprises. He was a quiet and unostentatious man, but his name will be gratefully remembered long after men who have made more noise in the world have been forgotten. The scandal, culminating in tragedy, which involves the of Robert Ray Hamilton in its disgrace and crime, seems so incredible that the friends of the ex-assemblyman think there must be some mistake in the identity of the man.

We sincerely hope that this is so, for the legislative career of Mr. Hamilton was, in the main, an honorable one, and his family is certainly a most distinguished one. The woman in the case was an unfaithful wife, of ungovernable passions, and i3 said to be greatly addicted to opium eating. Mr. Hamilton is to be pitied for his infatuation.

As usual, it is the highwayman who has the best of it. He 4 held up" a stage near a summer resort in Wisconsin, and when resistance wa3 offered commenced firing his two big revolvers. Two men were mortally injured, but the robber was not one of them, although he was the target for several shots. Of course the advantages are largely with the attacking party in such a case, but it does seem as if occasionally the tables might be turned, although, as a rule, the inoffensive tourist prefers to "shell out' rather than risk his precious life. Representative Peters, of Kansas, will stump the third Louisiana district for the Republican candidate for Congress.

Mr. Peters may have a stormy time. Bands of Democratic regulators have already begun to warn the negroes not to attend the Republican meetings. This is tantamount to telling the negroes that it would not be safe for them to vote. Complaint has been made to Governor Nicholls by Mr.

Minor, the Republican candidate, but it is not expected that he will take any efficient action. The Teutonic and the City of New York are plowing through the waters at the rate of 17 miles an hour and thus far it is everybody's 'race. They have been spoken several times since they left Sandy Hook and it is thought that the City of New York has a slight advantage but a day or even an hour may reverse the position of the racers, Thousands of people on both sides of the Atlantic are interested spectators of the race. Tee governor of California begins to ap preciate the fact th-t General Terry's friends in Stockton, who are pursuing Justice Field without just cause, are disgracing the state The attorney -general has made an effort to subdue the virulent spirit of District Attorney White, of San Joaquin county.

The Rochester Union, is entitled to all the fun it can obtain from playing upon the misprinting of 1 gauge for gage in the Dehocuat and The Union and the master whom it serves are in serious straits just now, and it needs all the fun it can find anywhere. The mistake in spelling, however, does not vary the nature of the issue between the Democratic party and the friends of good and eeonomicpl government for the state of Kew York, which the call for the Democratic state convention has precipitated. The Democratic governor, through Lis Democratic state committee, has thrown down the gage of battle and the Republican party accepts it. Never has it before occurred that a party call has gone outside of the record as the -mocratic call of this jear has done, to invoke the support of the banded liquor interest. The summoning to Syracuse of all 4 who are opposed to inequitable and oppressive sumptuary legislation, is a direct and urgent invitation to the liquor interest to participate in the party councils, and the phrase 4 inequitable and oppressive sumptuary legislation is to be interpreted as referring to that legislation which the Republican party passed in relation to the iiquor traffic, and the like of which it proposes to submit in the future to the executive for his signature.

It means such legislation as the ally of the rum power, in the executive chair, has nullified by his veto. It means high license. It means laws which will help the farm against the saloon. It means laws which will constrain the traffic which imposes large taxation upon the people to bear some portion of the burdens which it inflicts. It means the regulation and wise reduction of the traffic for the benefit of the sovereign people.

Governor Hill has revealed his purpose to pnrt fbo TTn Vaa rrtt fulfil pnfn a single bill that the saloon has asked him to veto. "When he last ran for governor he i. power. Neither he nor it made any secret of the alliance between them an alliance again emphasized in the bold and unblushing call for the Democratic state convention. A silly attempt has been made to turn the guns, which the Republicans have brought to bear upon the unholy alliance, by claiming that they (the Republicans) must be in favor of 4 inequitable and oppressive sump tuary legislation' because they criticize the language of the Democratic call.

From such a foolish inference the Republican party appeals to its legislative record. Republican legislation hasy in no sense, been ine-oiitable or oppressive'' upon this issue. It hfis never proposed that 4 liquor casks Ehall have no contents. It has simply proppsed that when the contents of the casks were discharged, they should pay an equitable license to the state. The Republican party has stood for reasonable regulation of the liquor traffic against its unre stricted rule.

It has passed equitable bills bills equitable for the dealer, as well as for the tax-payer only to have them mercilessly killed by the fiat of the executive. And now that the executive, through his servitors, has boldly challenged the taxpayers of the stata to the conflict, the Republican party, in the name of the taxpayers, accepts the challenge. General LEGrriius has gone to Santiago de Cuba with his principal followers. It is probable that they have been able to steal enough public money to live at ease for a considerable length of time. General Hippolyte is performing the duties of provisional president in Port-au-Prince.

As matters stand he will probabiy be elected to the presidency. His skill and energy in the conduct of the war against a usurper, commend him as a man of more than ordinary ability. It remains to be seen whether he will follow in the footsteps of his predecessors or not. It would be a great advantage to Hayti, if he should prove to be a statesman and patriot as well as a soldier. Poor Eayti is in need of manly men.

Philadelphia is not generally considered a very lively city, but its hardest critic must admit that it is the scene of remarkable activity at present. All sorts and conditions of men are subjected to the new influence and although their enterprise is of rather a peculiar nature, no one can doubt the earnestness displayed. It Is fleas fleas by the million which have located in the afflicted city. They are everywhere in the houses, in the streets, in the air, and day and night they are getting in their finest work on a wholesale plxn which is fairly aiinalLnsr. What the Philadelphian does not know about the wicked flea is not worth knowing, but do one envies him the knowledge.

It has been purchased in the dearest of schools. Mr. Ward McAllister has not learned wisdom by experience. Ha has been talking to the reporters again, but inasmuch as he confined himself to the most innocent of social topics, he probably felt that there was little danger. What Mr.

McAllister had to 6ay was that Newport had been livelier thi3 season than before in many years and that the social atmosphere has been 4 1 broadened and liberalized. TnE Canadian Liberals are more angry than the Tories about Behring Sea matters. Hon Peter Mitchell, formerly minister of marine and fisheries, demands British protection or the independence of Canada. This demand is more for political effect than anything else. The object is to 6how that the present government is unable to secure protection for Canada, and therefore ought to be turned out.

Miss Caldwell, who is to marry Prince Murat, has made an effort to comply with the French law of marriage. But she is unable to find death certificates of her grandmother on her father's side and of both parents on her mother's side. This careful scrutiny is undoubtedly to be sure that Prince Murat is to receive the fortune he expects. A Rochester lady summering at Siascon- set writes to friends in this city that the roseate sunsets have attracted much attention there and that regular evening pilgrimages are made to some favored spot to observe them. This is of interest in connection with the recent re ports from Honolulu and the observations made in this city and recorded in July.

The new line of fortresses built about Paris since 1871 has cost 775, 000, 000. The line is ninety miles in length. It is probable that the Eiffel tower was intended to be a fort of this system. There is no certainty that Paris has been strengthened by the new works, because they are so ex tended. There is a movement on foot in London for the combination of all the principal bakeries for the purpose of regulating the price of bread.

It is possible that the bakers may combiue, but if they proceed to oppress the people, the government will be obliged to interfere, as riots will be certain to break out. The annual meeting of the American As sociation for tho Advancement of Science began its annual session at Toronto yesterday. The meetings will continue for a week. Several excursions have been arranged. Milwaukee is extending her hospitalities to the veterans on a most elaborate scale, and there is every indication that tho annual encampment will be one of the most suc cessful ever undertaken.

Young Mrs. Blaine's path to the 6tage is filled with obstacles. The last impediment is the uuromantic rheumatism which has obliged her to postpone the date of her debut. Monday evening the magnetic needle was considerably disturbed, the geratest motion, a degree and a half, being at 7 :30 P. M.

Louisville Courier-Journal. The fact that Judge Field has been obliged to submit to arrest and defend himself against a charge of murder for merely having been one of the witnesses of a homicide gives color of probability to his accusation that his arrest is in pursuance of a conspiracy against his life. l'uiluuetpliia 1'reaa.

The process of examining the book3 of the Cleveland office holders has disclosed tho fact that bogus surveyors' checks to the amount of 48, 900 were allowed and paid. Land Commissioner Sparks pronounced the claims fraudulent, but the claimants got the money, nevertheless, and the government is a loser by just so much. it. Louis Vloie-Demucrat. The picayune policy of the Cleveland administration would refuse the aid needed by American linos to compete with foreign lines backed by government subsidies for the sake of saving a few thousand dollars on mail carrying contracts.

That is not the spirit that has guided Great Britain's treatment of steamship companies in their struggling days. Buffalo Commercial, Father Corcoran, of Pittsburg, said on Sunday that he would not hereafter grant absolution to parents who permitted their children to attend the public schools. It would appeal- that Father Corcoran was trying to carry out the resolution of the Baltimore Council without positive orders from his superiors. His diocesan may ret buke his zeal. The Baltimore resolution may have been designed for effect, not for enforcement.
