This Quixotie individual, who has been every
thing-in politics, morals, and relIgion-by
turns, and nothing long, IL appears by cable dis
patches 10 In trouble. That is, he has been ar.
rested by the English authorities q Fenian, and
Is now In prison. Mr.. Train is an ambitious
man, but whether he is anxious to attain q
higher celebrity, through such an ordeal as Great
Britain subjects her Fenian enemies to pass
through, may well be Questioned. We hardly
think that George Francis is solicitious, at this
time, to court martyrdom; but 1t may be, posi-
bly,, more serious thar he anticipated.
Whatever may be Trains folly-and certainly
he Is not very wise man, and the modicum OF
brains he does possess seem never to be used to
any good or practical purpose-yet we are con-
hdent, be his blunder what 1t may, the English
Government has made greater one In ordering
his arrest.
Mr.. Train has made many speeches In this
country in behalf of the Fenian cause as he had
right to dol but what has the English Govern.
ment to do with him or with his speeches when he
lands upon her shores with the accredited pass
port OF an American citizenf Can an American
citizen be arrested in foreign land for exercising
the right OF free speech In his country II So
1t is quite time we knew 1t. We look upon Mr..
Train only as citizen Of this country and In his
person the entire nation Is insulted. We doubt
not that our Government will look into this
ment to understand most plainly and most en-
phaticaly that this thing cannot be tolerated;
that II must cease now, and cease forever.
If there be one principle in regard to which
the American people, irrespective Of party, are
unit, 1t is that of the rights of American eIti-
Zens abroad. They will even go to war II need
be for this, and the time has fully come when our
Government must give emphasis to this purpose
on the part of our people. 1t is alleged as an
excuse for Mr.. Trains arrest, that some paper
has been found connecting him with the Fenian
organization. Admitting this to be true, 1t does
not afford the slightest Justification for his
arrest. Before any man who, as an American
citizen, Is travelling in England can be arrested,
he must have committed some overt act within
British jurisdiction. The idea that an American
citizen can be taken Immediately on landing In
Great Britain and cast into prison because he
belongs to the Fenian organization In this coun-
try, ought not and will not be allowed to occur
the second time unless the American Govern
ment Is prepared to succumb to the outrages and
tyranny Of John Bull. II Mr.. Adams does his
duty he will demand the immediate release of
Mr.. Train.

DISTRESS AND SUFFERING IN NOVA
SCOTIA.

There probably never was time when the
poor OF all lands were SO generally suffering for
food and the bare necessaries Of life as now. In
Europe and in America accounts OF distress and
starvation are daily published, the bare recital
OF which are truly appalling. Doubtless the fact
that these numerous cases Of distress among the
poor Of all lands, which closely border upon fam.
inc, are made public through the newspapers,
gives currency to the belief that they are more
universal and widespread than at any former
time. Still, after making all due allowance for
the publication OF this condition OF Affairs, we
may conclude that the suffering among the poor
Is terrible in the extreme, and calls loudly upon
the rich and benevolent for especial aid and
relief
We do not intend by anything we may say In
this connection to divert the attention OF the
Washington people from that regard for and aid
to our own immediate sufferers. We do well In
obeying the wise rule that "charity must begin
at homej" but we should be careful when It is In
our power to prevent It not to let It end there.
When the potato rot visited Ireland a famine
speedily ensued, and the civilized world was
startled intn active deeds of benevolenee in be-
half Of the sufferers.
We see It stated In some OF the papers in this
country that there Is much suffering, starvation,
and death In the province OF Nova Scotia, In
consequence of the failure of the fisheries. There
is large population In that country whose mean,
OF livelihood depend almost exclusively upon
the fishing business, and when this fails as Il
has this year, these people have no other sources
to which they can look for supplies. Up to the
endof November II was expected that the shoals
Of fish would come, for upon these nnny tribes
the population depended for their winters sus-
tensnce. They failed utterly, and the result is
hunger, distress, desolation, and death. why
these shoals Of fish should sometimes fall the
wisest men cannot tell. All that can be ascer
tained is, 1t Is SO. Some accounts we have seer
Of the Idestitution there are heart-rending; bu'
we forbear, with the remark that we hope some
thing will be done for these moor an fferers

MOST BItters OF the present Day that are
loudly pulled through the newspapers as
having great tonic and curative properties
are vile compounds and base impositions,
containing no medical virtues whatever, and
are really very poor whisky beverages; and,
instead OF acting MS stimulRnt and tonic,
have tendency toweaken the stomach. by
entirely destroying the coating. The public
should therefore be very cautious, and pur-
chase none but Ro6dcE'S Stomach BnteTs,
which have stood the test as remedial
agent for many years, and are really as their
name indicates, n stomach bitkerS. and not a
beverage. They combine the properties OF
the best tonic and stimulant-a gentle laxa-
tive, an efficient anll-bilious agent and the
best stomachic known 70 the world; and
when taken in conjunction with RObdck'S
Blood EftLS, are the safest and surest preven-
tive against all bilious arrangements, thor
oughly regulating the whole system and Civ
ing tone TO the digestive organs.
They are highly recommended as an in
MIGRATING tonic to mothers while nursing,
increasing the how OF milk, and for conva-
lcScents. 10 restore the proStration which al
ways follows IOng-conttnued sickness, they
are unsurpassed. No household should con-
slider themselves safe from the ordinary
mciadies without thes invaluable medicines.
They can be obtained of any druggist in the
United States. mrlS.lmd&w
