Jaueb Black, of Lax&Astkr countt
has been nominated by the Frohlbltlonsts
for the Supremo court Judgsblp. Black Is
uld to bo man of exceptional Ability as ti

On Aito Master TTobiuian Powdkhly,
of th Knlgbts of Labor, pertinently and
pointedly defines his political position In
the following terse language: "I do not
ask any man to accept my politics as the
Simon pnro article, bnt having boon asked
to define them, here they are, and those
who wish to copy after them may do so. I
believe that the Knighthood comes the
nearest to the truth of any declaration of
principles now beforo the people, and will
Tota only for that man or party who stands
aearest to the successful carrying out of
these principles. My vote will be cast for
that party or man who will do the most
good for the city I live in, the State of
which that city is a part, and the country
e-f which that State is the keystone. If my
advice would be taken, all worklngmcn
woald vtte Just that way, and if they did
there would be but one platform beforo the
people of this nation in enrntnt; campaigns,
and that the preamblo of the Knights of
Labor."
The coiuuisroNKNCE between tub
representatives of this government and the
French authorities in reference to the en
forced military service by Franco of natur
alized American citizens of French blith,
or American-born citizens of French par
entage, has been laid before the Senate.
The contention of the French .Minister Is
that under French principles citizenship
is conferred by parentage and not by placo
f birth, and that expatriation of the French
citizen requires the consent of the French
Government. Mr. Bayard held, on to the
contrary, that the decree of naturalization
granted by the United States to a French
citizen is not open to Impeachment by the
French Government, either in Its execu
tive or its judicial branch, and that It can
not be admitted that American citizens,
not charged with any crime should be de
tained a single day after their proofs of
citizenship have been presented.

A swindling game being practiced very
frequently by frauds upon unsuspecting
and Ignorant farmers throughout the coun

the Idea that somehow or another gojd the
precious metal Is buried somewhere on
their farm. Their devices are various.
One largely in vogue is the confidence act.

The May number of the North American
Review Is a very interesting volume. Tho
contributions from Gladstone, Field nnd
Kapsncr are very valuable, instructive auu
educating. There Is a pleasure connected
with this volume for Carbon county people.
To feel that one of its eminent citizens is
capablo of writing an article sufficiently In
cisive and meritorious for this critical and
leading American Bevlew, tho equal of any
in tho world, with tho largos t circulation In
Europe of any periodical from this country,
Is most pleasant especially for all such who
have any pride in the success of a neigh
bor, and who aro not begrudglngly selfish.
Tho slmplo fact of getting an nrticfo In this
Review stamps tho contributor as an ablo
man; a concise and logical thinker, for
nono other have admission to these pages.
A man's reputation is made not only locally
but Internationally, if ,'up" sufficiently to
have his namo Inscribed as an author in
this work. "Dangerous Trusts," Kapsher's
contribution, is an article well worthy the
perusal and study of the observer of the Ir
repressible conflict that is forming Itself on
account of the oppressions springing from
those horrible excressences, "Trusts." It
Is a masterly pblllplc delivered against an
ovll that confronts all citizens oven the
"charmed circle." Tho powerful logic and
great perceptive power demonstrated upon
such perilous and stupendous evils Involved,
places this man of great legal accumen In
tho rank of the ablest ot observant men.
The wrongs depicted by the correct analysis
of a condition so full of excressences that
are contrary to anything that savors of
iustlce or right does credit to the mind and
leart of the author.
The evils of "Trusts" and monopolies,
their oppressions and tendencies, their ruth
less and shameless perversion of trado, their
abuse and destruction of equality of oppor
tunity and the right to individual existence
are Indeed producing an Irrepressible con
flict as abhorrent and sequential as those
conflicts which racked Homo In the height
of her glory. Were the pleblans of old oyer
worse cajoled and oppressed than thosamo
class of to-day are, taking into considera
tion the advance In education, civilization,
and the improvement of the arts and scien
ces for tho betterment of mankind? Is the
tendency of this concentration and absorp
tion to continue? If it is then there will
bo revolutionary action precipitated as tho
means of salvation for Republican Institu
tions. A salvation, tho redemption of
which means more than It means now.
"After me the deluco." exclaimed Kinc
Louis, as he was marched to the execution
ers block. And after "trusts" and monop
olies have produced a reaction what then?
A delugo of what? A wise and cautious
people will take time by tho foi clock. They
will erect barriers and restrictions nnd drive
from the temples ot law-makers those mai;
factors who aro trafficking In the rights and
liberties of tho "conic Gain and selfish
ends should not be the object of snch. The
education of the people is too advanced and
improved to permit a continuation ofiuch
a condition. To educate neonle and clve
them understanding, that understanding
which permits a rational distinction be
tween tho right and wrong, between the
justice that belongs to tho right to Hye and
tho wrong that oppresses, and then denv
them, thoso privileges which pertain to a
comiortauio living ana whlcn an All wise
Creator provided. Is like nokin'z a red-hot
iron into a can of dynamite. In this ex
plosion no monopolies, no "trusts" will bo
so big as not to bo broken. "Dangerous
Trusts" Indicate a relief from a condition
so fraught with cyll and danger. If the
government has a right to aid private en
terprises, sucu as pertain to ttie common
good, why has It not a right to own and
conauct sucn enterprises lor the good of nil.
This is asked oersistentlv and nroncrlv.
Or why has it not a right to exact a strict
survellance over such? This, of course,
only applies to the creat nubile hlchwavs
and mediums of transmission which secure
them rlehts of doing business from thecov
crnmcnt and which as a rule are conducted
by a few privato parties, not for the com
mon good but for the luxury and gain of a
iow -nicu cocKoiorums." is o same man
would have that business which the Indi
vidual conducts without a special privilege
being granted him from the State, inter
fered with or regulated by legislation. Of
inis view, mere aro people who will claim
that the diagnosis as presented bv "Dan.
gcrous Trusts" smacks of paternalism
namely, that If the government has a right
to aid transportation lines and mediums II.
has a right to manago and own them. For
the sake of argument let us admit that it
squints in that direction, yet It does no
more argne It than does the fact that the
State grants charters and cedes the right of
cuimeui uuiuaui, eic. jxow it this is patern
alism, tho question arises which of the two
evils is preferable, that paternity lodged in
tho hands of the people or that unjust pa
ternity which permits a few men, solllsh
and inconsiderate as tho common herd of
men are, to act as the parent of all tho peo
ple, by virtue of the power assumed and
delegated through unnatural privileges
granted under the guise of the law. Of the
two the paternity of the people for tho peo
ple Is decidedly preferable. This kind of
paternalism allows the people to bo the con
servators of Jihelr own affairs, thereby
making them responsible for their own con
dition. Here they have a chaneo of choos
ing and regulating, If oppiessed tho fault Is
with them. But under the paternalism of
unbridled monopolies and trnsts it Is only
a question of submission to that which sel
fish and irresponsible agents may feel like
dololng out from some apartment. Thus
people are but automatons. "It Is poverty
nut iuuiuucu mai waxes people suomis-sive;'-
has its ready application, but the
long submission under too much strain has
its endlne.

Special to tho Cahbon Advocate.
It was a notable gathering around John
Lean's coffin, before they bore his mortal
remains to Calvary Cemetery. But though
he was murdered while drunk by a fellow
thief, he did not die without the benefit of
the clergy, for In ills last moments a priest
was called In, and bell, book and candle
gave him a good send off to "that bourne
from whence oven no crook returns." He
had not thought much of priest or prayers
for the last thlrty-five years. Bed Leary
as he was known among his pal, and to
the police, was a daring thief at ten; ho
had done the State service before he was
twenty, at thirty he' was associated witli
the most accomplished bank burglars and
cracksmen in the country, the proceeds of
several of several of their ventures result
ing in the aggregate to millions of dollars.
Twelve or fourteen years ago ho kept a den
on Chatham Square; where countrymen
wero takon In and done for; a mysterious
disappearance was traced to his place which
was eventually raided by the police and
Bed Leary was driven out. Shortly after
n'Cpt into an altercation with another
thief in a cellar on Bleecker street. It was
asserted on the trial that the thief drew his
pistol on Leary; whether he did, or wheth
er he did not, the result was the same, for
when the smoke cleared away the other
thief lay stretched upon the floor stone
dead, and Leary stood with his smoking
pistol in his hand without a scratch. Red
was acquitted the judge declaring that
the only drawback to the affair was that
both of them were not killed. The robbery
of the bank at Northampton Massachusetts,
where $720,000 In cash and securities were
bagged, was supposed to be one of his ex
ploits; and the robbery of the Manhattan
Sayings Bank In open daylight of nearly
three millions was one of the heaviest pulls
on record.
The man was a paradox; he never pre
tended to be other than he was, and though
well known to every officer and detective
in the country as the adviser and compan
ion of the most noted hank shlevos and
burglars, they never seemed to get him, In
the slang of the crooks, "dead to rights,"
or If they did, he always had some valuable
information on hands that was worth more
than his capture. There Is little doubt
that nearly two millions of the securities
stolen from the Manhattan Bank were
eventually recovered through Red Leary,
and also the securities of the Bank at
Northampton. Old John Lord's stolen
bonds, $200,000 worth, carao from the
same source, and numerous other recoveries
well known to the police. Red Leary got
as inenuiy a greeting irom me ponce sup
erintendents and detectives as If bo had
been n New York alderman. Inspector
Burns or Bob Flnkerton never failed to
pass a pleasaht good day when they met,
and Red Leary always seemed to feel quite
Eroud of their acquaintance. Ills sporting
ouse on Norton's Point at Coney Island
was tho resort, not only of most of the
first-class crooks In the country, bnt swell
politicians, prize-fighters, brokers from
Wall street and fast young men about town,
might be seen night after night hobnobbing
in front of the bar, and every man felt
while he was in Red's place, his person and
property ware very much safer than thev
would bo in a moro prettntious hotel. He
adopted the rule so long In vogue at Harry
mil's "No stoalln' inside this efe 'ouse;"
"Hall hexperts will be 'eld accountable for
tho tamo, an' don't ye forgtt It." Some uf
the experts did forget It and violated this
rule. Did Harry Hill hand them over to
the police? Not a bit of it; the next time
they called at his bouse he Invited tbem
into a back room, and there he went at
them with a club, and tho result was that
a man's watch or pocket-book was safer In
Harry Hill's than It would bo In a church
or a Young Jfen's Christian Association.
Of lato years Red Xcary adopted tho same
rule and no drunken man could be fleeced
at his bar. It was suspected by many of
his old pals, that he purchased his Immun
ity from punishment by furnishing infor
mation to the police, ana this fact possibly
mav have led to bis death. Ho was fol
lowed to his grave by men of his own class;
his wife, Red Kate, the sharer of his des
perate life, being the only one who could
really be called a mourner.
The arrest In Brooklyn of a prominent
real estate man named Swimm on Tuesday
last, is tho culmination of one of the quaint
little romances of our city life. Mr. Swlmm
is an eminent respectable citizen, apparent
ly retiring in in? ways, ratiier clerical in his
appearance, and Is In fact resarded as .one
of the staunchest pillars of the Baptist
church to which ho belongs. Still there
must be a little of Old Adam left in
Brother Swlmm, notwithstanding his con
version and his years! for a few months
ago he thought he would haye a little quiet
lark, so ho put an advertisement in the
paper for a housekeeper, and as he
advertised himself as a gentleman of
means, he did not want a wrinkled old
tabby, but a nice, bright, plump, vivacious.
Intelligent, accommodating housekeeper;
in short, just the right kind of housekeeper
for a handsome gentleman of means. It Is
hardly necessary to say that he cot a
ousnei ana a nan of letters, and one hun
dred seventy-three photoeranhs. Now Mr.
Swlmm dldn'n want any housekeeper, ho
naa a most excellent uouseiccepor In Mrs.
Swlmm. an estimable ladv. who had darned
his stockings and faithfully attended to the
duties of Swlmm's household for over
thirty years. But on the receipt of his
mall Swimm looked over the letters and
photos, and finally pitched upon an angelic
widow in New Haven to preside as the
keeper of his mjthical house. Donning
his Sundav suit ho kissed Mrs. Swlmnv
good-bye, and told her that he was going
10 toon aitcr a nine Dit ot real estate on
which he had his eve. Now. if Mr. Swlmm
had said personal property, it would haye
Deen nearer tno trutu, out ne aid not. Well,
Mr. Swlmm hurried un to Now Haven and
met the charmlng widow, and wonderful to
relate, she was just exactly like her nhoto,
but then she wasn't exactly a widow; she
was only constructively a widow, that is to
say, a widow of the grass variety. That
was just the kind of housekeeper that Mr.
Swlmm was looking for; she suited him to
a aot, ana oy way of binding tho bargain,
he took her down to Black Rock on a ten
cent excursion, and thero they had Bock
oeer.iriea ciams, deviled lonsters, Ice cream,
and a jolly good time generally. So far all
was plain sailing; but Mr. Swlmm had
hardly reached his hotel, his head swimming
with ecstacsy at his orospcctlvo bliss with
his new housekeeper, when a knock came
at tue aoor ana a gentleman walked In,
who called himself Mr. Sibley, and. desired
tO InnUlrO Of Mr. Swlmm. what In .Toman.
lem he had been doing with his wife? Pcr-
iiaps air. awlmm thought that this was
Sibley's cbost, at any rate the next day he
cot upllnd dusted for Brooklyn. He told
Mrs. Swlmm that ho had concluded not to
Invest in that nronertv. and madn atrliM
bolt for his office. He had hardly got seat
ed behind his desk, when tho grass widow
Sibley stood in tho door with blood in her
eye. one soon gave the gentleman of means
to understand,-that while it was not easy to
get rid of her, and in her particular case in
would require guilders to do It. Mr. Sibley's
constitution was so badly shattered by
R Rrlmm's 1 11 il .ll Inn f n nH.nili... l.t. If-
w iimii.iuit n,;u,iuu, ,ua Wllti,
that is required at least ten thousand ilnl.
lars to put him In passable repair. The
suit was to hayo come off last week, but it
was understood to haye been settled out of
court, ior swimm tailed to materialize
But thouch Mr. Sthlev's honor was atl.
fled, Mrs. Sibley's was not, and this week
she has him arrested for libel, and If she
succeoas, sue may convince Old Swlmm
that wiaows aro dangerous things to fool,
grass or no grass.
Occasionally we get very much excited
over sudden and mysterious disarm ranr-oo
A man or woman drops out of sight, and
sometimes tliat is the last of them, and
then again, sometimes It ain't. One of
these events occurred last week. Mr.
Clarence Cook, the son of a wealthy gentle
man was yoiui; to oe married to ono of the
most ucauuiui aau amiable young ladles in
the cltv. Tho 'affair-was laid out in n
swell, Indeed; all through tho oyenlng and
afternoon tho presents camo pouring In.
The church was decked with flowers. Ono
oi tue toniest clergymen in the city was en
gaged to tie the nuntial knot. Fifteen him.
dred invitations wero Issued, and eyen then
nearly ono half of their intimate friends
were left out in the cold. Everything was
icady. The bride.a dream of loveliness, was
iiunueu wuu orange uowers Dut the bride
groom came not: messengers were xent. nut
into the highways and byways, detectives
scoured the dives, but to no purpose; no
fellow could find out whether he had gone
to Kingdom Come or Colorado. After a
weary searcn of three days, his father ran
across him In the street In a very dazed
condlton suffering, so his father says,
from mental abbration. That's net what
they used to call It when 1 wai a hnt l,nt
It will do. They took the young man home
and pnt him to bed, and if they keep every
thing exciting away from him except a
jiieuuiui supply oi coia water, l should not
wonder if he might recover from his mental
aberration.
Another wonderful disappearance took
place in the person of a country editor.
Yon don't often catch a country editor
tripping in New York, for as a general
thing they are gentlemen of sound morals
and good general Information, and about
as fly on all the Ins and outs of city life as
tho bunco men themselves. Well this par
ticular editor came to town with twelve
hundred dollars in his pocket to buy some
presses for his olllce. He parted with a
friend at the ferry, and "hey presto fly,"he
disappeared as If the earth had swallowed
him. His father and a delegation of his
country neighbors came post haste to the
vny. ana tno town was tnrnded upside down
and Insldo out, looking for this country edi
tor. The morgue was searched, the river
was dragged, aud all sorts of uncompli
mentary articles appeared in the rural press
as to the danger to which country editors
were exposed in visiting New York. After
weens or constant anxiety and tireless
search he turns lip in Denver, Colorado,
minus his twelve hundred dollars, and suf.
felngirom a bad case of mentalaberratlon.
Mental aberration Is an awful bad thing.
Take my advlee and don't try it.
Truly yours,

Congress would adjourn before the Use set
for holding the two great conventions, bnt
It Is now generally believed that the session
will extend well into and possibly through
the summer. This opinion Is hot based so
much upon the backward condition of
business, or any doubt that tho appropria
tion bills could be disposed of, as upon the
fact that tho national conventions will be
held whllo Congiess is in tho midst of Its
work. Many of tho members will naturally
deslro to attend tho conventions and the
business of Congress Will no doubt be prac
tically suspended during the tlmo that the
conventions ate In session.
Had the Democratic convention been de
ferred until July as ha4 been proposed,
Congress would probably have adjourned
beforo that time, but considering the delay
that is likoly to be occasioned by tho sus
pension of business during tho time that
the conventions are in session, it may not
be reached beforo August.
Tho discussion between Senators Ingalls
and Voorhces on Tuesday last has been a
general topic for discussion, and especially
among tho Mcmbcts and Senators at the
Capital. It has generally been conceded
that the United States Senate Is without
an exception one of the most dignified aud
accomplished parllmentary bodies in the
world, and for this reason the scene of
Tuesday last appears the moro extraordin
ary, and It Is rendered still more astound
ing from the fact that It was made by two
of the most prominent members ot that
body. Eyery one now regrets tho occurrence
and Senator Dolpb, who presided during
the controversy. Is blamed upon all sides.
Tho friends of Jfr. Ingalls say that when
Mr. Voorhees interrupted Mr. Ingalls and
called him a liar, and Representative
Johnston an infamous scoundrel, he should
have bee n compelled to at once apologize
for his conduct or bo expelled from the
Senate; while upon the other hand the
friends of jtfr. Voorhees say that there
would havo been no disorder on tho floor if
thero had been no demonstration - In the
galleries, and they hold Mr. Dolph respon
sible for the disgraceful scene for allowing
the disorder to develop In the galleries. The
matter Is, however, at an end, and there
will be no apologies and no continuation of
hostilities.
Tho nomination by tho President of Mel
ville W. Fuller, of Chicago, to bo Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, meets with
general approval. Since the death of Chief
Justice waito the question of his successor
has excited an Interest commensurate with
the fact that tho office is the clft of the
President. Although Mr. Fuller has never
been upon the bench, he is well known In
Washington, as he has frequently appeared
beforn the Supremo Court In the capacity
of a lawyer, and It Is generally conceded
that the President could not havo selected
a man for the office, whose nomination
would havo met with a moro hearty ap
porval, especially In the Western States.
