On the contrary the execontlve committee of the Knights of Labor when asked to endorse him unanlmously re- fused to do so. Had they really sought any member they would not have choren Mr. Loary, who was a mere novice in the the law without reference to the Wyni :1':::?« oast, to nmerd the present reatriotion aw 0 88 to declare in plain words that he right to go and come conferred by ho treaty will expirs after a certaln date.

The Call goss on to msy: Congress should pause a moment and con sider this suggestive fact, that wherever the Chinesa go tho same opposition is manifested agalnst them, 1t does not always take the enme form, but it always exists, Beginning in Californis, where the first Chinesa lodg- ment was effected, the opposition to them bas spread aa their number has Inoreased snd scattored over the const.

Tue New York Journal s authorlty for the statement that ‘‘Senator Van Wyck emoked a corn-cob pipe while spoaking to an Interviewer on natlonal toples tho other day.” As Senator Van ‘Wyok does not smoke, the corn-cob pipe was probably smoked by the Interviewer, A wmase meeting of #ll opposed to the civil service act has been called in Waeh- ington. The call Is rigned “‘By order of the Executive Committee of the United Labor League of America.” It is ssfa to may that this naw labor league ls com- pored wholly of democratio epoils-hunt- ers who are laborlng to recure offices, Tuk greatest racing event that has aver ocourred in Qmaha will be the trot ba- tween Payliis and Joe Davis on Satarday mext, [+ wiil bano hippodzomo afiair, bat **a racs forblood,” Tho horses are very eveily matched, and to guess the winner is like guessing ‘‘head or tall” ia tossing up a coln. It is as liabie to come one way as It {s the other, A srarexENT appearad in the Bke of the 14th lust., In regard to the postoffice at Cedar Raplds, Neb,, that there was a shortaga of $1,000 in the accounts of the postmaster, and that a deputy had been appointed te run the office. We are as- sured by a rellable gentleman that the statement s not true and we are happy to make the correction, organlzsd for the promotlon of labor Interests, If there s any demagoglsm In the case of Mr. Leary the shoe will fit him most admirably. Mr, Boyd himself s not disappolnted. He asked certain men In the Unlon Paclfic shops to recommsnd a ropublican me- chanlc who was a representative working- man and qualified for the place. Mr. Loary was put forward on the plea that no workingman answering that descelp- tlon could be found, but Mr. Leary was recommended as a popular substitute. The Knights of Labor did not recommend Leary, and his failure to be confirmed will In no way reflect on them or cause any ill-feeling on their part towards the council or anybody else. TELEPHONE LITIGATION. The American Bell telephone company has so far been victorlons in the nume- rous suits that have been brought sgalnst 1t to tost the valldity of its varlous pat- ents, bat its litigatlon is by no means ended. Porhaps the mos! linportant suit that has yet been instituted fs that which has just besn atarted In the federal courts In this case it is the United States gov- ernment that is the plaint!ff, “!in behalf of itself,” as the petltion states, *‘and of all the people and Inhabitants of the United States and territorles.” Up to this tims all tho sults agalnsc this company have been instituted by other corporatfons, or by rival Inventors and clalmants The object of the government proceedlog scale. Tt has arranged with Berlin end London finanolal housea for a loan of $70,000,000 for that purpose. Hereto- fore the Chinere have been opposed to the rail way and to labor saving machinery generally for fear that these modern im- provements would tend to further cheap:n labor In that country, Thls may be true for awhile but that the railway and machlnery will open new indvstrles and prove of great benefit to that country there is but little doubt. One thing is certaln, and that {s that labor cannct be made very muoh cheaper in China than it s now. Itisalso admitted that the rail- read will csuee a eocial revolution in Chiza and that it Introduction will mark an era of progress In that celestial em- pire that will astonizh the world. e e Tue last clty election showed tho ne- cesslty of a better and more reliable reg- fstration of voters. The aflidavit fraud should never be repeated. Tho laws muzt b strictly complled with at the next election, Every citizen should see to It that his namo {s reglstered. Those who are not cltizans should be excluded, and If they undertake to swear In thelr votes frandulently, they should be pun- fshed, This wholesale swearing-In basl- ness muet be stopped. Right here let us call sttentlon to the fact that our con- | g, stitutlon forblds aliens, who have not taken out their papers thizty days before electlon, [from voting.

More raccals have been turned Into of fico than have been turned out. The list of Jjall-birds and ex-conviots that have been sppolnted by Grover Cleveland, though small at first, has grown to alarming pro- portlone, and lo constantly inoreasing as tlme is glven for Investigation of records. Perhaps Ohlo takes the load for appoint- plaintiff. In addition to the clalm evidence will be preduced showing how the Bell patents were obtalned. It isal- leged in the petition that the informa- tlon by which Bell got his firet patent waa ‘‘glven away” to him {llegally by a patent cflice officlal. On the same day, February 14, 1870, that Ellsha Gray, of Chicago, filed a csveat, Bell applled for o patent, and the contents of Gray's caveat was communicated to Bell. It appears that Gray assigned his caveat to Examiner Wilber, of the patent office, who notified Bell that, owing to the fact that there were contllcting claims, his appllca- ticn had been suspended for three montha, Bell, however, claimed that his application had bean filed an hour ortwo beforeGray’s caveat, and thereupon the order was re- voked. Bell then took advantsge of the information recelved from Wilber and re- constructed his application for a patent, which was granted to him fn the course of a few weeks, To substantiate these allegations the aflidavit of Wilber Is pre- sented, This evidence, if not shaken, is likely to prove disastrous to the Bell tele- phone monopoly.

In regard to the proposed removal of these redskins to the Indian territory the major sald: ““Well, as far as the Jicwilles are con-- corned there will be no difiiculty to re- move them at all, as these poor devile have been moved and removed so fre- quently that moving has become a sort of hsbit with them, Besides, they are not a yery nervy style of Indlan anyway. But whenever the government attempts to remove the Meacaloros, thera will be a war which will throw the Victorio war completely in the shade. Of course, there 18 nothing published In the papers concerning these Indians, which they do not learn gooner or later, and they have alresdy been Informed that the eubject will come up bafore congress at the next sesslon, They are determined not to go, no matter what actlon congrees may take. “‘How oan they help 117" “By slmply remalning and fighting, and dying If necessary. Do you remem- ber when Gen, Howa rd visited them, some five or slx yearssgo, and eubmitted to them a propos! or thelr removalf Why, sir, the reply of old Nautz'lls, the old war chlef, wis simply grand: *‘Go back to the great h'her, at Washiogton,’ #ald he, ‘and tell him my children have been born and raised here, that we have always lived here, and that If we cannot coutinue to live here, we will dle here,’ They will remaln quiet and peaceable &s loug as they are permitted to remaln on their reservation, but the moment an at- tempt {s made to remave them then will begln trcuble. Truly, as Nantzilla sald, they have lived there always, and thelr land 1s the only lend in this country which has not & Spanlsh grant to cover {t somewhere In ita history.” ‘‘But cannot they be quletly arrested and carried awsy if neceseary as pris- oners?”’ “‘As before stated, they are apprieed of every movement of the government, and aro thoroughly armed. How would you go about dissrming 150 well-armed, plucky bucke? Why, they have been sccumulating arms and smmunition for the psst five years or more, and they know how to use them, too, True, it msy appear absurd to say that 160 or 200 w’d.y bucks will causs so much trouble to the United States soldiery, but if you will agenc revlew the histcry of previous Indian [boughts “Why, we waste more wheat and corn in Kaneas than you can ralse on your farms here. Our farmers throw away moro than your entlre crops amourt to.” *I believe you ¢o,” sald the Ver- monter. “If you didn’t waste so much, perhaps the interest on my moztgages would be paid more promptly.” e —— The County Builaing.

Prani saving compound and alwi bol and name of JAMES PYLE NEW YORK, A STRANGE 0OM A Kansas Town that is Oomplstely Isolated from the Ontside World, Correspondence Wheeling Register, Mounting my pony early In the morn- Ing, accompanied by two stout-hearted follows who, like myself, were on penetrating Into the gloomy unknown, we wero soon twenty miles oast of the great state of Colorado and in the extrome sonthwest of Kansae, Hills, mount.ias, and csnyons strotched sll sround ue. Hastening onward, we were soon In a boautiful town, the subject of our sketch. As the town is unknown and closely isolated 1t wi'l be well to give 18 locallly. It Is southwest of Kaneas, The valley fe somo ten miles wide at this place, and the soil Is very fertile, I¢ fs called Viorle, and has a population « f 1,000. Viorls is o dictinct town. It makes ite own laws, paoses rentence of death, regalstes all mattcrs of cquity, and dictates the religions and social ~ status. Viorlo has no hotel, no plico for a stranger. He could get nothing to eat only at private houses, Vicrle wondered at us getting there and sternly discussed the proprlety of ¢j-ctment. It had been a lorg time aince strangers were in thelr midst. However, after a long parley and due deliberation, we were permlited t» emeln, The town was laid out and rot- ‘lement commenced by a company of ellglous bigots in the rpring of 1868 fnce which timo select famliles have been added. In the beginning it was decread that all things should be held in common, houses, however small, skould be built of brick, and extravagsnce, finery, fancy work should not be tolersted. The people are plain, simple-minded, aud very common. To seo good brick bulldiogs with Jook- holes for windows and doors hewn out of timber; to see peopla lis on the ground— for theae houses have no floors—and re- pose on skius, & d to see no farniture, not even a dish or stove, was not only odd but interesting, Thelr theory Is to buy nothing and sell nothing, Ail mast go to work very early la the morning and work just 80 hard and eo long as they chooto, unless an edict !s issued by the prodent for more diligence. Now, the pradent conslsts of twelva men, sclocted by their own body when vacancles arlse. They hold a life tenure. They smettle all dis- putes, regulate all Industricg, and divide the crops. The duties of their cffice would seem enormcus, bat It appears they have litile to do. Thera are really no stores, but there are three large buildings used as stor: houses, where the diffsrent products are nicely kept. In cne of thete were stored vegetables, corn and other things, In another were stored woven fabrics and tanned skins and robes. In the other was whisky, The fronts of the buildings wera all door, and in the after part of the day 1t was curious to see the throng of people gatherlng thelr ratfone. It is sirange they are o peaceable, for they are not organiz:d Into families and have no marclage. At night things aro as quiet s could be, and to walk along the streots you would think you wera passing woll-regulated families. e — The Garfiela Family, Cleveland Correspondence Loulsville Com- mercial.
