Ik his interview with our Washington
correspondent, printed an another page,
Senate r Frye subjects the terms of capit
ulation to Canada which Secretary Bayard
calls a fisheries treaty to a merciless anal
ysis. He sustains the Tribune in all that
it alleges as to the utter folly and worse
than folly of pretending that the treaty
is anything else than a humiliating speci
men of Mr. Bayard's incapacity. Sena
tor Frye'a right to speak on this question
will be denied by some. He is the nat
ural representative of the betrayed fisher
men, and his estimate of the treaty may
be accepted as theexpression of their own
riews. As the net result of this dcplo
rnacy lie finds that our "ComniiKsioncn.'
hare obtained for us nothing that is not
already ours, while they have relinquish
ed to the astute statesmen of England
and Canada much of what we have held
for seventy years without dispute. New
York Tribune.
Thb Journal may rest in peace, as for
as the editorials in Toe Herald arc con
cerned. They are written by the regular
editor of this paper, who was not closet
ed, and is not even acquainted with any
of the magnates as mentioned by the
Journal. We hae carefully consulted
the best interests of the city, winch is
our own best interest, and have acted ac
cording! v. As far as the strikers in thin
city are concerned, we know a number of
them personally to be not only good cit
izens. but pood, crenerous neighbors as
well, yet that does not prevent our think
ing they have made a mistake. The
presence of the Pinkerton detectives here
has had much of the same effect that
red rag has on the temper of an enraged
bull. While we are sorry that the com
pany has found it necessary to bring in
foreign policemen, yet we congratulate
ourselves that there is less danger to
property with them than without them.
and if an enraged mob were turned loos-
destroying property which . the city
should protect, and would in case of loss
have to pay for, we might be glad that
we had some outside astistance. As far
as the engineers themselves are concern
ed, thnre could be no possible danger.
At the depot where every incoming train
is met by a crowd hooting -and yellin
"scab and other approbrious epithets,
not a single engineer has as yet been
found; it all comes from other elements,
some of which will bear watching. If
the police are careful not to abuse their
authority no harm will be done, as law
abiding citizens can not be injured by
the presence of policemen.
As to the claims of the engineers for
increased compensation, it hardly seems
to be we'l founded. They are now by
far the best paid men in the railroad ser
vice. It is true they deserve a high rate
of uav. but there is a limit to it. The
ST
proportion ehould be kept even between
them and all classes of men in the same
service. One feature of the Burlingtor
management to which the engineers ob
ject is the paying of men according to
acre and experience. This seems to be a
very commendable thing.lt obtains in all
lines of labor. The more experienced and
accomplished the workman, the more he
gets. These things come with age and
length of employment. The man who
makes his first run en a branch where be
has an open road does not earn ner is he
entitled to the same money as the man
who flies a fast freight or express between
Lincoln and Omaha or Pacific Junction.
The most experienced and best qualified
men have the hardest places, earn the
most money and get the highest pay.
This seems to be natural and right. The
plea by the men that the road dis harges
the engineers when they get up to the
highest scale of wages is not borne out
by the facts. During the past year, out
of 240 engineers on the B. & M. in Ne
braska, there have been seven discharges.
All of these were for cause haying no re
lation to wages. As a matter of fact the
character and quality of the work done
by the men getting the highest pay make
them really the cheapest men on the road.
Another feature of the matter is that
rules that are fairly applicable to the
Alton and other eastern roads do not fit
the case of the Burlington. They are al
most entirely main lines, while much of
the Burlington system is branch lines,
paying a very small profit at best on the
cost of opera ing, and in many cases the
receipts not coveriug the actual outlay of
operating. If the road is to serve the
public to lid vantage it must be allowed
to lure men at reasonable prices, it is
not to be denied that the B. & IL engin
eers are getting wages that are above the
average of other laberers and mechanics
who do about the same amount of work
of about the same value. Thfs being the
case, if they succeed in getting an ad
vance it must come out of the freight
paying public or the comparatively an
derpaid employes who are not engineers
It has already been shown that engineers
arc the best paid men in the employ of
railroads. They can hardly expect the
sympathy of the people who will have to
pay their increased wages if they succeed
in getting them. Lincoln Dm.
Self Ma.sagn for Dyspepsia.
This treatment requires much perse
verance and practice, otherwise it may
to some extent prove a failure ; but re
newed vigor will always be in propor
tion to the practice. Be not discouraged.
First thing in the morning and last thing
at night rub the abdomen down the left
side and up the right in a round circle,
also rub down the breast; now pace
across the room once or twice, and then
fcnap the lower limbs, like a whip lash,
for exercise. Now twist site lower limbs,
lirst on one side, then on the other, and
rock up on the toes. Now for the lungs
and abdomen; first, take in a ha if breath,
then exhale all Hio air possible, then fill
the lungs to their full capacity, walk
across the room and back, at the same
time tlirowiag the arms back. Now in a
half breath send out every particle of air
till you see the abdomen working like a
bellows, and you will soon become a deep
breather. For more extended practice
in deep breathing the morning before
rising is a good time, provided there is
full ventilation and that the air inside is
as pure and fresh as that on the ouUide.
Before a good fire wash the hands and
face, wet the back of the neck, arms and
lower limbs 6hghtly, and rub down with
a coarse towel. This is sufficient for a
beginner, but entirely inadequate for the
old, chronic dyspeptic J. N. Seiuple ia
Herald of Health,
Artificial Ageing or Wliliky.
A way has been found of ageing
whisky artificially. A dealer showed the
writer two samples of what he called the
"straight" article; ono was made in
1885, the other in July, 1887. They
were equally good, he said, in color, bou
quet, taste and every other quality, and
yet the 1887 sample was sold at $10 less
a barrel than the other. In other words,
the whisky makers can now furnish a
three months' article equal in every re
spect to that which is three years old.
By this process they save the three
years' storage, interest and evaporation.
The purchaser generally gets the benefit
of this. The new process consists briefly
of rocking the barrels day and night on
patented "cradles." Charred barrels are
used, as is customary that is to say, the
Uirrel is burned out before the whisky is
put in, thus converting the inner surface
into charcoal. The constant motion for
three months dissipates the fusel oil and
imparts the rich color which new whisky
has hitherto never had legitimately.

An Introduction In Mexico.
When two people are introduced in
Mexico, if both are women, they ex
change a light embrace and palmadita or
little pat on the back ; where one or both
are men, a hand shake is in order. And
beside the formula, "Let me present,"
etc., of the officiating party, each of
those introduced gives his name and his
address, with the formal, Your obedient
servant," "At your orders," or some
such stereotyped phrase. By those who
have suffered from not hearing the name
of a stranger, mumbled or slurred over
by his introducer, this custom will be
seen to have its merits. Cor. San Fran'
cisco Chronicle.
Women iu Asiatic Lands.
Although girl babies are scarcely con
sidered worth bringing up in China, the
women of the working classes there hold their
own much better than in most Asiatic
countries, and even some European countries.
They work iu the fields with their husbands,
but the heaviest aitd most disagreeable casks
are not imposed upon them. In Japan the
peasant women take to the fields, road
making, etc., with their husbands, on terms
of irfect equality. There is nothing of slave
and master in the relations of wife and hus
band there; if anything-, the women seem to
ta!;e the lead m th affairs of life. Boston

How Men Die.
If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better
enabled to ward off the danger and post
pone the moment when surrender becomes
inevitable. In many instances the inher
set strength of the body suffices to enable
it to oppose the tendency toward death.
.Many however have lost these forces ..to
uh hu extent that there is little or no
help. In other cases a little aid to the
weakened lungs will make all the differ
ence between sudden tleatii ana many
years of useful life. Upon the first symp
toms of a cough, cold or any trouble of
the throat or lungs, give that old and
well known remedy Boschee's German
Syrup, a careful trial. It will prove
what thousands say of it to be, the "bene
factor of any home."

PROFESSIONAL JUROR.
HIS DOMAIN. HIS HABITS AND
LEADING CHARACTERISTICS.
Trick by Which Legal Proceedings Are
Prolonged "Holding Out" n Kxtra
Day or Two Slipping into the Jury
Boa Classification.
Chief among the institutions almost time
honored, but now in rapid decadence, is the
profeMooal Juryman, for he is an institution,
and it will not be long until he is numbered
among the antiquities of that limbo of the
long ago known as "the good old times."
Many circumstances have brought about
his decline, among these legislation on the
subject and active measures taken by the
courts to prevent his depredations, and his
extinction is now only a question of time.
He may still be occasionally seen, however,
stalking solitary in the neighborhood of the
court house or its corridors, for ho is not a
gregarious animal. The circuit court is the
place where he finds his best picking und is
his favorite haunt. Ho is also frequently
seen in the common pleas court or in the
law and equity court, when common law
cases are on trial, but never in the other tri
bunals, as heretofore it has never been the
custom for jurymeu to draw pay in the other
courta.
On the first or third Monday morning in
each month, at the regular time to draw the
two panels for the half term of the circuit
courts, ho, or several of him, may be seen
loitering about, hoping to fill up the needed
number, as a "bystander," and an interesting
study is afforded. If there is a long and
tedious trial promised in tho common law
courts, a number of him is sure to be present,
for, unlike the ordinary juryman, lie likes
the trial to lost as long us possible to 6 well
the total of his per diem. In fact, he has
even been known to resort to tricks to pro
long the proceedings. It is a very simple
matter for him not to aerreo on a big contest
and "hold out" tho jury for a day or tw o.
To bo taken ou tho grand jury by hook or
crook on a chance occasion is almost a sine
cure. If summoned as a "bvstander" for tho
petit jury he will always, if possible, "hold
out" till the second day, fur, so summoned,
he can draw pay for o:Jy ono day's services,
while, if he remains over till the second day,
he can draw pay for both days.
HIS KCMBROUS TRICKS.
- ITis tricks are almost innumerable, and
although there are several siecies of him, al
are characteristic of tho genus "professional
juryman." Three-fourths of the hung ju
ics, it is said by a court official who is a stutis
tical fiend, ore due to "professionals." IU
delights in a trial for murder or any other
serious ouense, as there is a chance lor a
"lock up," in which case, if ho show sufficient
obstinacy, under tho name of a "conscien
tious determination," he can spend several
days at a first class hotel, under the assidu
ous care of mine host, who takes care that he
shall have the best of attention.
Another favorite trick ho has is to slip into
the jury box and fill up tho vacancy caused
by the absence of one of tho regularly drawn
jurymen. Tho clerk has frequently to con
sul his list and call tho roll to di cover the
interloper, and when asked to give the reason
of bis presence ho generally explains by stat
ing that he "thought tho clerk called his
name." Of course there is no penalty, and
he slinks away, sad at his detection. But he
is a man of insistence. One defeat does not
discourage him, and it is but a few days un
til he is ready to repeat the trick.
The genus "professional juror," for con
venience of classification, may subdivided
into a number of species, embracing persons
of nearly all ages and all classes of society.
There are politicians designated by various
terms, such as "ward workers," "strikers,"
"wire pullers," or, as they call themselves,
"men of influence." There arc thriftless hus
bands, unnecessary appendages to thrifty
wives, who are generally found to be proprie
tresses of small boarding houses, or worse
-still, shiftless fellows who are not so fortu
nate as to be appendages. These are dis
charged policemen, gamblers, speculators.
disabled men, men out of wovk, and, saddest
of all, shabby genteel men of decayed for
tunes and gentility. Every specimen of tho
different species is as distinctly recognizable
as if he wore a label. These are the men who
often decide a knotty point iu common law,
or decide whether a prisoner shall spend one
or ten years in the penitentiary, shall get a
"lifer " or be banged. Louisville Courier-

A Man of Mixed Drinks.
".Did you notice that man who just came
in and drank a huge tumblerful of lemonade,
and then followed itwith a cup of cold bouil-
loni" The speaker was the white jacketed
head barkeeper of a woli known saloon, and
ho continued: "Well, he is a regular cus-
comer here, and comes the nearesc to being a
two legged tank of any ono I ever saw. Ever v
night ho comes in about midnight, and sirs
down at one of those small tables aud orders
Home kind of a drink. He generally begins
with a whisky sour, followed up with three
or four more of the same. Then, as if in fear
that his stomach will get chilled he will call,
perhaps, for a couple of hot Scotches, which
will in turn bo washed down by several
brandies with ginger ale.
At a certain point he appears to be struck
with an idea that it is not safe to drink any
more hard stuff, for fear it might go to his
head, so he switches off on a new track and
orders lager beer. After half a dozen glasses
of this beverage he generally begins prepara
tions for going home, and I never saw him
so he couldn't walk as usual, and ho always
has perfect control of himself. I always
imagine that he drinks hard at night so as to
be able to sleep. Perhaps ho has some secret
disappointment, such as an unhappy love af
fair, that would keep him awake were it not
for the alcohoL In the daytime ho never
drinks liquor, wine or beer, but seems to
suffer an intolerable thirst for cold drinks.
Some days I make for him dozens of lemon
ades, and he always wants the largest glasses."

public, whose names are very nearly alike.
One is Frank B. Carpenter, the painter of

prominent newspapers. Both being well
versed on the same topics, it is easy to see
that confusion often arises in the minds of
their friends regarding them. The man
whose middle initial is "B" lives in New
