|)resent generation, would have consigned their perpetrators to the shades of everlasting infamy ; now when a crime is committed the hrst question asked by an excited community is, \is he weal- thy ?\ It poor, the victim sulfers the extreme penalty of the law ; but if wealthy, courts, judg- es and juries fall dowu before the God of Mam- mon, and the culprit cheats the gallows of its prey, and the hangman of his wages. Knowing the limited dimensions of the DAILY BAZO O we propose to write a series of short articles under the caption indicated at the head of this article, hoping that the numerous readers of the BAZO O will assist in breaking the powers of monopoly by peaceful and bloodless means. One of the greatest trials of the newspaper profession is that its members are compelled to see more of the shams of the world than any (jlher profession. Through every newspaper oftice, day after tlay, go all the weaknesses of the world; all the vanities that want to be puffed; all the revenges that want to be reaped ; all the mistakes that want to be corrected; all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent; all the meanness that wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the editorial columns ; all the men who want to be set right; all the crack brained phil- osophers with theories as long as their hair, and as gloomy as their tingei-nails in mourning be- lefi of soap—all the bores who come to stay five minutes, but talk live,hours. Through the edi- torial rooms, all the follies and shams of the world are seen day after day, and the temptation is to believe in;ieither God, man or woman. It is no surprise to me that in this profession there are some skeptical men ; I only wonder that journalists believe anything.— De Witt Talmage. An amusing story is told of some of the rail- road strikers at Altoona who got hold of a sol- dier and treated him to refreshments. When the man was well supplied he was asked if, in the event of a collision he would fire on the people. '•Never 1\ answered the brave member of the N. G , and more refreshments were ordered. The question \Why would you not fire?\ was then a^ked. \Because I have no rifle—I belong to the baTO,\ was the reply. 1 he coopers of Pittsburgh and Allegheny are all on a strike except those of J . E. Meyers. They demand sixteen cents. They are now paid fourteen cents. VISITING CARDS cheapei than thrt at the BAZO O oftice. INSURE WITH THE 135 EAST WATER STREET, S. C. GAYLORD, Agent. W. L.
