There can be no the railroads and their operatives until it Is settied right. The privileges and rights of each must be defined by law. Pub- lic carriers, whether on land or sea, should duties, be under governmental control and supervi- sion.

In either case the public is the principal sufferer. The people pay the bills in higher rates than they could get if railways were secure from disturbance. It is now for the government, including congress and the ex- ecutivo, to grapple with this grave problem. Its solution must be sought through mutual government compulsory arbitration. concessions, supervision and GLADSTONE INVITED T0 AMERICA. Some time ago a movement was begun to induce Mr. Gladsone to visit the United States, and it has now taken definite form in an invitation sent to the eminent English statesman signed by Vice President Steven- son, Chief Justice Fuller, senators, repre- sentatives in congress and a number of prominent citiz The invitation refers to the heneficent influence of the long and brilliant ccurse of Mr. Gladstone, and ex- presses the desire to contribute in some measure 10 his happiness during the sea- son of rest that is before him. It assures him that his presence in America would be regarded as an honor by our people, and promises that if he shall accept the invita- tion every provision will be made to In- sure him the utmost comfort in all re- spects, with entire freedom from intrusion of every kind upon his privacy. “You would be,” reads the invitation, “‘our guest from the mement of leaving your home until your return, which would be, we trust, with a new lease of life and increased power for its enjoyment.” The coming autumn is the time suggested for the visit. Mr. Gladstone has many times said that it would be a pleasure to him to visit this country, but to the numerous assurances he has received that the American people would accord him a most cordial welcome and show him the distinguished considera- tion due to his eminent place among the greatest statesmen the world has known, he has uniformly replied that he could not see his way clear to come to the United States. True, that was when he was ac- tively engaged in political afairs and it seemed necessary that he should be almost continually at the post of duty. It is pos- sible that he may feel different now that he has 1aid aside the cares and labor of lead- ership and proposes to rest during the re- maining years of his life from the turmoil and strife of politics. At the end of his present term In parliament Mr. Gladstone will retire from public life, and after that the world will hear from him only through the medium of his pen, for undoubtedly he will still give his countrymen the benefit of his wisdom and his counsel. But the fact that he desires and needs rest may operate to deter him from accepting an invitation to visit the United States, which he knows that, despite any arrangements which might be made, would compel him to be exceedingly actlve while here, for certainly no other liv- Ing man would have greater attention and honors paid him by the American people than would be accorded to William Ewart Gladstone, If he should attempt to see any considerable part of this ry he could not avoid the popular ovations which would everywhere be extended to him, and if he were to endeavor to respond to all the invita tions that would be extended to him by com munities desiring to do him honor, he would find his time fully oceupied and the demand upon his energies greater than that ever imposed by the most exacting of politizal campalgns. Yet, It he came here, he would feel under obligation to respond to as many of these invitations as possible When it is considered that Mr. Gladstone is in his 86th year, and that for more than half a century he has been one of the most active of European statesmen, it is easy to understand that he may regard a visit to the United States as involving a greater requisition upon his physical powers than it would be prudent to subject them to. Un- doubtedly he would find great gratification In seeing for himself the greatness of this country, the distinctive features of its de- velopment, and the pecullar energy and en- terprise of its people. ~ As the friend of fres institutions and the admirer of the great republic, Mr. Gladstone would undoubtedly find here much to please him. But at his time of life men do not care a great deal for this sort of gratification, and their disposi- tion i3 to avold, rather than to seek, demon to | tore, strations of popular honor and homage. Mr. | Gladstons knows his place in the opinion and the consideration of the civilized world, and he doubtless understands that, except his own countrymen, no people hold him in 80 great esteem as the people of the Unitod States. It Is not necessary that he should come here in order to demonstrate that, for evidence of It is not lacking. While, there- tho invitation extended to the filus- trious English statesman by so many dis- tinguished Amerfeans §s a most graceful compliment to the “grand old man,” which undoubtedly he will heartily appreciate, it is not at all probable that it will be accepted. It Involves too many possibilities of danger the declining physical energies of the veteran statesman. to ST OF THE POSTAL NOTE. With the beginning of the new fiscal year week the postal note made exit from among the num- ber of conveniences afforded by the postal system of the United States, and although the place is to be supplied by the new money order, it will doubtless be missed, at least until the public becomes thoroughly acquainted with the substitute The postal note made its first in September, 1883, having been authorized by law as an experiment to facilitate the transmission of small sums of money through the mails. It was limited to de- nominations of $5 or and issued at the uniform price of 3 cents. In the eleven years that it has been in use it has under- gone several modifications, Its form has been changed more than once. It was from the first made payable to bearer on presentation at any money order office. By the law of 1887 it was made Issuable but not payable at all postoffices, For the pe- riod 1883-4 the postal note was issued only months, but for the fiscal year 1884-5 the number issued was: 5,058,287 of the total value of $9,096,274.37, an increase of over 14 per cent over what the volume of business would have been the previous year had the postal note been issued the en- tire months. The extension of the use of the postal note has since been fairly regular, although the average sum for which it was issued, which was at first $2.01, has steadily decreased by a few cents each year. That is to say the postal note has been util- ized more and more for the transmission of the smallest sums that are sent by mail. The objections to the postal note in its perfected condition were summed up in the last annual report of Postmaster General Wanamaker in the word “insecurity.” The postal note which was issued in sums less than $5, payable to bearer at any money order office, required neither written appli- cation nor the secret advice, and being there- fore less expensive to the department could be issued for a smaller fee than the money order. But while there were certainly some advantages in this it lacked the security of the money order, which 1s payable only to a designated person after Identification at a designated office. The postmaster general suggested as a remedy for this insecurity that the form of the postal note be altered 50 as to permit the sender to insert the- name of the payee. The same object is to be last its appearance less, ten twelve suggestive In more ways than one, giving secured by the new money order which is to supplant the postal note. Tne new money order is printed in the same style as the postal note and, while issued and pald as of old, is to be had at a much reduced schedule of fees, the charge for orders for sums of less than $2.50 being 3 cents and for’ sims of from $2.50 to $5 being 5 cents. Since the greater number of postal notes issued an- nually were for sums of less than $§2 the expense will be about the same and the se- curity considerably greater. Having the new money order as a sub- stitute, few people will regret the departure of the postal note. The postal note, however, has served a very useful and honorable ca- reer. It has been the means of expanding the business of the postofiice by enabling people to send small sums of money by mail at reasonable rates. It has been really a ploneer in developing among the people the habit of patronizing the postoffice when they wish to transmit money. This habit will persist, although transferred to the new money order, which will thus secure the benefit of the missionary work which the postal note has done. MILITARY PARKS. The house committee on military affairs has reported favorably the bill to establish a national military park on the battlefield of Shiloh. If this measure passes there will be four of the great battlefields of the re- bellion dedicated to this purpose—Gettysburg, Antictam, Chickamauga and Shiloh. The bill for making the field of Shiloh a natfonal park provides an initial appropriation of $150,- 000, which is a greater sum than has been given to both Gettysburg and Antietam. The former, which was the scene of perhaps the greatest battle of the war, has received but one appropriation, $25,000, for preserving the lines of battle, erecting tablets, etc. It is proposed, however, in the pending sundry civil appropiation bill, to allow §50,000 for Gettysburg. The battlefield of Antietam has not fared so well. In 1892 congress appro- priated $16,310 for surveying, locating and preserving the lines of battle of the army of the Potomac and the army of Northern Vir- ginia at the battle of Antietam, which amount, proving insufficient for the purpose, was increased in 1893 by the addition of $15,000. Doubtless when this work is com- pleted further appropriations will be made to maintain that battlefield as a military park. As to Gettysburg a great deal been done to preserve it for future gener- atlons by the combined efforts of the dif ferent union commands which fought there, the Gettyaburg Memorial ation and state appropriation. It should be, and doubt- less will be, made a national military park, though its preservation as ground is assured without this, Strictly speaking, the only national mili- tary at this time is that of Chicka- mauga, for which congress has appropriated 1890 $575,000, and is now proposing an additional appropriation of $76,000. It the Shiloh bill passes it will give a second great military park to Tennesses, and it has suggested that congress may not be establish two such parks in that state while putting off the scenes of the army of the Potomac conflicts with tablets. But if it be admitted that the bat- tlefield of Shiloh ought to be thus preserved it is not a valid obfection that thers is an- other military park in the same state. Cer tainly the battle of Shiloh was one of the most Interesting of the war, and it has been the subject of many conflicting accounts. There were great commanders on either side, and both sides displayed great valor The battlefleld is described as an unsightly tract of land covering some 3,000 acres, lit tle changed since the days of the battle, but unmarked and neglected and affording to the visitor little knowledge as to the cours: of the conflict. That it should be taken care of as one of the memorable sccnes of tho war does not admit of question. The transformation of the more important has historie pari since been disposed to battleflelds of [thi jear of the rebellion into national militany parks and their proper maintenance by thé government will be ap- proved by all b fcan appreciate the influ- ence which these historic scenes must exert upon the patefotidm of the people.

In an article in Harper's Magazine, most SCHOOL TE “An Australian’s| Impressions of America,” Miss C. H. Spence illustrates the extraordi- nary versatllity 0f the American people by citing the manner in which school teaching leads to all professions and all avocations in this country. The writer is struck with the fact that so many people teach school while waiting for something attractive to turn up and that so many have proved suc- cessful in nsing school teaching as a pre- liminary to some other occupation. This, she says, is almost unknown in England and Australia. “There the young men and maid- ens go into the public schools as a profession through the apprenticeship of pupll teachers, not as a stepping stone to something higher or mare profitable. The young women may marry and leave It, but if they remaln single and keep their health they continue their work in the school So far as the schools are concerned, Miss Spence admits that America gains by the ad- mission of so much new blood of the best kind into her educational body, but she also insists that she loses a great deal in the wisdom of experience, The new recruit in school teaching brings with him much youth- ful energy and enthusiasm. At the time he views his labors merely as tempor- ary—a view that does not to the most careful work. A good teacher improves all through her career, but teachers are next to an impossibility under the American system that imposes on women the bulk of the school teaching. According to Miss Spence, nowhere in the world has the teaching of the people been thrown into the hands of women as in America and no- where is the average term of service so short. The effect of this upon the people who graduate from this school teaching appren- ticeship into the home, or into the various professions is not alluded to in the article, but that it does its work fairly well is to be gathered from the remark that wherever the author has traveled she has found teachers present and teachers past, the lat- ter in most unexpected quarters, in the church, in law, in medicine, in every pro- fession. She might have added that former teachers are also found in every department of the public service, on the bench, in the legislature, in_ congress, in the cabinet, as well as several times in the president's chair itseltl. What kind of housewives and mothers the women' teachers make is not a matter of public record, but it is unlikely that they are more unfitted for their domestic duties by their experience in the school room than they would be had they spent the same time at a typewriter or behind a bar- gain counter. The school teachers probably gain more by ‘their apprenticéship than the pupils. more same conduce experienced A. W. Fairbanks; for many years a news- paper publisher ‘and widely known in that connection, died in Boston last Tuesday. Mr. Fairbanks was born in New Hamp-, shire and learned the printing trade, in which he was very proficlent. His first newspaper connection was with the De- troit Advertiser, and later he was publisher of the Toledo Blade. Forty-four years ago he became one of the proprietors of the Cleveland Herald and continued as the publisher of that paper until 1878, when he disposed of it and retired from the news- paper business, though continuing his con- nection with printing. A few years ago he gave up all business and removed from Cleve- land to Omaha, remaining in this city a couple of years, when he removed to Boston. While in Omaha Mr. Fairbanks made a number of friends who will regret to hear of his death. He was a successful pub- lisher and a man of excellent business abil- ity and sterling integrity. He was a most companionable man, and to his friends, of whom he had a host, faithful and generous. No one who had his confidence was ever refused a favor or a Kindness that he could grant. His business career of more than halt a century was active and useful, and the memorials of his personal worth live in the hearts of all who enjoyed Intimate re- lations with him. One of the first results of the present railroad strike, no matter what its im- mediate outcome may be, is bound to be a renewed agitation for government owner- ship of railroads. The first evidence of this is to be found in the resolution already introduced by Senator Allen into the senate calling for the appointment of a committee to consider the advisability and necessity of government ownership of railroads. Senator Allen has mot committed himself to the policy of publicly owned railroads, but it is plain that he is seriously thinking of it in case mo other solution to the present difi- culties is presented. The agitation of the question must necessarily receive some im- petus outside the halls of congress. The strike threatens to make the problem of government ownership of railroads one of the near future instead of merely the 1 oretical disquisition, on Saturday of people will celebrate their fete, although, iwoccount of the mis- fortune of th¢ ‘repuplic, the demonstration may not be quite so,brilliant and gay as on previous occasions. .The late ordeal of the republic, howevér, gives renewed assurance of the permangney of free in France and additiondl reasons for observing the anniversary!of ithe birth of the new regime.

After sup- per our party, except myself, went ashore and watched the Indians dance and sngage in other amusements until late at night “Ahout 7 o'clock the next morning, May 26, the party returned to the island, Robin- son and Logan taking their rifles and Clark iis revolver. The two former were hunting for a deer, of which the old chief said there were a great many. After they had gone Clark came back to the sloop, but soon re turned to the shore. The Indlans asked him to loan them our boat that they might catch a turtle, He consented, and four Indians went down the beach about 200 yards and landed, two of them getting out and stand- ing near by, while the other two sat still in the boat. HAILED BY THE CHIEF. “I lay down in the cabin, and had hardly done o before I heard three rifle shots about, as it seemed, a half mile away. As s00n as the chief heard the shots he seemed vonderfully well pleased, and said to Clark: hey have got a deer, a big buror deer; let's you and I go down and clean out the spring so that you can have some good, fresh water when you go.’ “As Clark looked up he saw the four In- dians Jump into the boat and pull for the sloop. ~ When I heard the shots I got up and called to Clark, who was within speak- ing distance. ‘I do not like the looks of things. You had better come on board.’ I took my double-barreled shotgun, slipped into it two cartriges loaded with buckshot, and placed my revolver on the deck within reach. “At this juncture T motioned to the dians to get Clark, who w: calling but they gave no heed. told to let them come near sloop, called to them to stop, on they I leveled my gun on them and them to stop. They did so, and turning went to where Clark was standing, landed the boat and jumped ashore. As they did s0 he jumped into the boat and pulled off to the sloop. “While this was fifteen to twenty yards away and Neb., July -(Special to of left any In- them, me not and 1 came. yelled to He the but ispiring we heard not more than 300 Logan shouting for help. The we heard were, ‘Oh, George,’ which is Clark's first name. Clark called again and again to Logan, but got no response. “Clark hauled in the anchor and, taking a pole, pushed the slcop past the point so that we could look down the island toward where we heard Logan's call. All we saw was seven or eight Indlans on the run over tha sandhills. “When the second volley was fired the old chief, women and children fled over the hill. The four who had been in the boat al:o ran We lay as near the shore as we dared, calling for Logan. “For two days we lay near by, but never saw a sign of either Indian or white man. My opinion is that the Indians had planned to” murder us. When Robinson and Logan went hunting the Indians lay in ambush. Robingon, I think, was killed in the fir:t volley, but Logan ran on until he was shot by the second party of Indians in hiding. The old chicf intended to get Clark down to the spring and murder him, while the four in the boat would do away with me.” O'BRIEN'S TALK WITH A FRIEND. While in Yuma in April this year, Mr. W E. Dorrington of this city met Morgan O'Brien and O'Brien informed him at the time that arrangements were being perfected for a trip down the Gulf of California in a small scow or bost about twelve feet by cighteen feet. Mr. Dorrington also met the other members of the party, viz: Robinson, Logan and Clark, and all were making rapid preparations to move. It seems that some fear was expressed at the time to O'Brien that some danger would be encounterd on ch a voyage and possibly he would lose his life, but he jokingly answered that a fellow Qidn’t have but one’time to die. Morgan O'Brien was born in Canada, about thirty-three years ago. parents removed to Richardson county in 1872 and he had lived in Falls City ever since until about six years ago, at which time he went to California on a prospecting tour, There are quite a ‘number of old Falls City residents located in Yuma, principally J. W. Dorrington, now editor of the Yumu Sentinel, and it is supposed O'Brien settled down there after roaming around for awhile, O'Brien’s father Is pow ‘residing near Ball's postoffic Okl. His uncle, Morris O'Brien, and ousin, Mrs. T. J. McKiever, reside in this city and are illing to be. lieve the story related above, as O'Bricn was always considered trustworthy., A number of acquaintances of O'Brien all s that his word was always taken as authentic and could be relied upon, and we judge from this the above story can be relied upon.

Robinson, the tho party, and one of those reported Killed was a newspaper man. e had been con nected as & reporter with the press of San Francisco and St. Louls, and he claimed his home was in “Texas. Some herc seem doubt that Rohinson is killed, and belie it only a ruse to get some notoriety, but O'Brien’s story seems to be all right. James Logan, the other one re ported killed, was a miner, and had lived near Yuma for some time, buc was of a roving disposition. George Clark of Flaven self, is & hunter and trapper.

Torres, commanding the northwest de partment of Mexico, had ordered fifty sol diers to go by steamer from Guaymas to Tiburon, and 100 cavalry from Hermosillo overland to a point opposite the island, where a tug will meet and carry them over the channel, which at one place s only a mile wide. The matter will be thoroughly inves- tigated by General Torres, and if the Cerly are guilty they will be severcly punished Clark will go with the t ps from Guay mas.

Though few people have fously injured by theso attempts in tson with the possibilities of death the dangerous thrown in much frequented excltement and uneasiness in the public mind in Paris, and severe measures have been adopted by the French govern ment and the Paris police the hists, The desperate nature of the anarchistic conspiracy, says the New York Tribune, n by the quick suee cession In which murderous plots have been into execution in the of the measures of reprossion and the relentless application of the legal penalties to the perpetrators whenever thoy have been caught. Some of the most striking of the murderous attempts of the anarchists have been as follows An explosion which wrecked the first and second floors of the house of M. Benoit, 136 Boulevard St. Germain, occurred on March 11, 1802, It was caused by a dynamite cartridge. Great damage was done to the house; one man, a valet, was wounded, but only slightly. M. Denuit was ihe maglstrato who tried Decamps, an anarchist, in 1891, for attacking two police officers.. It was after- ward shown that this was one of a series of outrages planned by the anarchists against maglstrates and other officers of the gov ernment who had taken part in bringing avarchists to justice. The chief instigator of these crimes was discovered by the police to be one Francois Claudius Konigstein, known as Ravachol man who had been concerned in other crimes before. HURLING DYNAMITE. The house of the public prosecutor, M. Balot, fn the Rue Clichy, was the scene of a dynamite explosion on March 27, which was aimed against M. Dulot’s life, but he escaped unharmed. Seven other persons were injured, however, and the liouso it- self wrecked. It was openly avowed at this time that the anarchists had de- termined to blow up the house of any judge or prosecutor who helped to send anarchists to prison. On March 20 there was another explosion, this time in the building of the Crodit Lycnnaise, one of the lirgost banking houses in Paris. Two persons were Injured. An explosion occurred on March 15 in the Lobau barracks in Paris, occupled by the Republican guard, adjoining the Hotel do Ville. 1t was due to a dynamite cartridgo placed in the mess room. Fortunately nons of the guards were killed. Ravachol, who was subsequently tried, sentenced to death and guillotined, was arrested by the police on March 80, in tho cafe of M. Very, corner of Rue Lancry and the Boulevard Magenta. On April 26 this cafe was blown up by a terrific explosion of dynamite. Ten persons were seriously in- jured. M. Very had becn in receipt of threatening letters from anarchists sinco Ravachol was arrested there, in which ho was warned that he and his establishment were marked for destruction. The ex- plosion, coming so svon after those of the Boulevard St. Germain and the Rue Clichy, added to the great excitement and uncasi- ness prevalent in Paris, and caused re- newed measures of severity to be adopted by the Paris police. Other anarchists ar- rested at the same time for complicity in these outrages were Charles Achelle Simon, Juo Beala, Charles Chaumartin and a young glrl, Rosalie Soubere. A BOMB AMONG THE DEPUTIES. The most alarming of the recent attempts of the Paris anarchists was the throwing of the bomb in tho Chamber of Deputies whilo it was in session, on December 9, 1893, This was the work of Auguste Vaillant. The usual number of deputics were present, and public business was under consideration, when Vaillant, who occupied a soat in the gallery, threw a bomb upon the floor of the house, which exploded with a terrific report. No one was killed, but a large number of the deputies and several of the spectators in the gallery were injured, more or less seriously, by flying fragments of the bomb; great dam- age ‘was also done to the Chamber ftself. Vaillant was arrested and confessed his crime, saying that his object was the death of M. Dupuy. He was iried, sentenced to ;Ienln, and was guillotined a few weeks ater. Twenty-four Destruetionists been se com from explosives places, great have been caused against ana \ 8ho has be curried vigorous face persons were wounded on February 12, this year, by a bomb explosion in the cafo of the Hotel Terminus, at the St. Lazare railroad station, Paris. The cafe was well filled when, about 9 o'clock in tho evening, a young man came in, drank a glass of wine at a table, then rose and, taking from his pocket a bomb, threw it toward a group of people at a neighboring table, The bomb had been filled with bullets and bits of iron, and the scattering of these caused most of the wounds. In the dense smoke with which the room was filled for threo or four minutes after the explosion, the bomb-thrower made his escape (o the street. Three policemen saw him running and pur. sued him, commanding him to stop. His reply was to halt and to fire five shots at them, one bullet striking Policeman Polsson, cting a mortal wound. The other two men, with the assistance of a waiter, eded’ in grappling with and overpower- ing the bombthrower. At the station the fellow, who at first called himself Leon Bre- ton, but whose name was soon ascertained to be Emile Henry, sald: “Yes, I am an anarchist, and the more of the bourgeoise [ killed the better it would please me!"” BORN TO CRIME It was learned that this young anarchist, whose father had been a colonel of the Com mune, had been graduated from the Sor- bonne in the department of science, having won a state medal. Two years before the outrage at the Hotel Terminus he began to devote most of his time to writing for anarchist papers. He was arrested after the Cafe Very explosion, but was released two days later. He had come to Parls from London a month before throwing the bomb in_the cafe Incited by Henry's crime, throughout France made ralds in on the dwellings of anarchists, whom were arrested. Henry was placed on his trial in the Seine Assizes on April 27, and was convicted and sentenced to death the next night. He showed much bravado and made many flip- pant interruptions in the course of the trial He was guillotined early on the morning of May 1. The night before his lawyer had a long audience with President Carnot, from whom he vainly sought to obtain a respite for the young anarchist On the evening of April 4, this year, a homb was exploded on a window sill of the Restaurant Foyot, in Paris. One end of tho restaurant was partly wrecked, and throe persons were seriously injured, emong them the soclallst poet, Taillade, who had written concorning Vaillant's bomb outrage in the Chamber of Deputies: “The victims are of little consequence, provided only that the anarchic idea prevails' But his painful per- sonal experience of the workings of the an- archic idea effectually cured the post of his fondness for militant anarchism. The Res- taurant Foyot stands directly across the Rue de Vaugirard from the Palace of the Luxem- bourg, in which the senators meet, and one opinion was that the explosion was directed against the senators. But the restaurant was the scene in 1571 of one of the mest famous executions of those leaders of the Communo whom the present anarchists pre- tend to be avenging, and it may be that the outrage of April was committed in retalia- tion for an occurrence twenty-three years g0 the police Fobruary many ot ——— Out on Bl Major J.
