THE FIERCE DEMOCRACY of New York city,
or portion of them at least, have come to
grief at last. Last year a gang of ruffians
visited Mystic Island for the purpose of recre-
ating themselves by witnessing fistic combat
between the champions of the p. r., and on
their return to New York they made a charac-
teristic finish to their excursion by taking
possession Of the train, robbing and beating
the passengers, and carrying things with
high hand generally. One performance of
this kind was quite enough for the land of
steady habits and when it was intimated that
there was likely to be another similar invasion
this spring the Governor of Connecticut
quietly made his preparations for flank
movement, which we are happy to say
was a complete success. On Tuesday
crowd of roughs, unsuspicious
of the reception that was awaiting them,
entered Connecticut with the intention of
enjoying themselves in the same style as last
year. The Connecticut militia, however,
was out in force to receive them, and about
one hundred of the New Workers were cap
tured and safely lodged in Jail, with every
prospect that they will be tried, convicted,
and sentenced as heavily as the law will per-
NIT. Such an occurrence as this is matter
for sincere congratulation, and it is to be
hoped that the splendid victory achieved by
the Connecticut militia will have the effect of
striking terror to the heart of the outlaws of
New York and other cities, so that they will
not care to run the risk attending such ex-
cursions in the future.

LETT Us H1YE PEAHE

DBors of water, if they keep dropping long
enough, will wear away the hardest granite,
and ON the same principle the peace men
keep pegging away a little at a time, with the
hope that perhaps in the course of remote
ages their ideas will have some effect in
modifying the belligerent propensities of
mankind. The object of the universal peace
men is certainly commendable one, and it
will receive no heartier sympathy than from
those who have won their laurels on the CORY
battlefield. Unfortunately, however, the
majority of the human race-and in this in
stance very large majority--look upon war
fare as a necessary evil; and different nations
consider that no matter how peaceably dis
posed they may be themselves, it is essential
that they shall be able to protect themselves
from the attack of outsiders who do not
profess peace principles Until the peace
men, therefore, can manage to bring all the
world into sympathy with their ideas, they
will scarcely be able to do away with armies,
navies, and training schools for professional
fighters. The memorial, therefore, presented
on Monday in the National Senate by Mr.. Sum
ner from certain members of the Universal
Peace Society, setting forth their object to bs
the disarmament of the great powers, and
asking Congress on that account not to sane
tion the proposed enlargement of the West
Point Military Academy, will probably make
about as much impression as a single drop of
water on one of the granite domes of the Yo
Semitic Valley. 1t might with propriety be
suggested that it woyld be well for the Peace
Society to procure the disarmament of the
great powers before making such a request
of Congress, for although their intentions
are undoubtedly good, their performances

OBITUARY..
De RerIot, the YioIInint


a cable telegram from Brussels announces the
death in that city of Charles Auguste de Beriot,
the celebrated violinist and composer, who, born
at Louvain, In Belgium, on the Goth of February,
1902, had attained the well-advanced age of
sixty-eight years. In early life he showed an
aptitude for the violin, and, after studying
music in his native town until his nineteenth
year, in 1891 he went to Paris to perfect
himself in the handling of his favorte instru-
ment. There he studied underViotti, Ballot, and
other celebrated masters, and soon made his
appearance before the public He made his
debut in Paris at the same time with Paganini,
and at once took high rank as a violnist. Sub
sequently he made extensive professional tours
over Europe, and on his return to his native
country received pension from the king. In
March, 1885, he was married to Madame Mali
BRAN the celebrated singer, who died suddenly only
six months after, while on visit to Manchester
England, to attend musical festival. De Beriot
continued to give concerts until 1S42, when
he received an appointment as professor OF the
violin in the Conseryatoire at Brussels, posi-
ton which he finally relinquished to one of his
pupils on being afflicted with blindness. In his
earlier days, De Beriot, whose style of playing
was finished and classical, stood in the very
front rank of violinists, but his fame has been
eclipsed by more recent competitors and of late
composer, his works for the violin being
numerous and elaborate, and calculated to test
the powers of the performer to the utmost.

CYRUs w. FIELD, not satisfied with the
honor and profit acquired by his leading con-
nection with the Atlantic Gable, proposes now
to become the prime mover in Pacific cable
scheme, and he is soliciting the aid of Con-
gress in this scheme in the shape of a huge
land grant. There is no doubt that the con-
templated cable might be very useful for
certain purposes, and we hope that it will be
constructed some of these fine days But
meanwhile Congress should not be too hasty
in donating the public domain to any body of
private spectators, and more especially to
those who do not, by constructing railways,
directly contribute to the development of the
land adjacent to that which is voted away.

CANADA IN ARMS.

THE warriors of Canada are resting on their
arms. confident in the belief that the ener-
petic preparations they have been making TO
receive the Fenians have succeeded in rout-
ing tho foe even before he came in sight.
The brave soldiers of the New Dominion are
now experiencing all the exhilaration OF VIC
tors who have fought, conquered, and died
upon the gore-stained sod of their native
soil, but without any of the Inconvenience
attendant upon an actual conflict. The Blue
noses are happy as CLANS for they doubtless
believe that the bloodthirsty Fenians are
afraid to meet them, and there is no sensa-
tion more pleasursble than the feelings of
militiaman when he is impressed with the be-
lief that his antagonist is afraid to fight.
We have no very great regard for the
Tenians, and if they should actually attempt
another invasion of Canada, we will consider
it necessary to advocate severe measures with
them, but it will be rather good thing than
otherwise if they keep up their organization,
if only for the sake of quickening the stag
nant Canadian blood into a little healthy
excitement by threatening an annual raid.
Nobody on this side of the line, however, has
heard of any movements or preparations for
an invasion this year, and as it is not the
fashion with the Fenians to keep such a
matter secret, the probabilities are that
the warlike rumors current on the other side
of the st. Lawrence are born of Canadian
fears. The only danger we apprehend
from this affair is, that having sue
ceeded in conquering their invisible foes
the Canadians will become possessed with
such warlike spirit that they will seek to
precipitate a conflict with the United States
by an interference with the fishermen, or by
some other act of aggression that will get
them into trouble. 1t is generally advisable
to let we'll enough alone, and a bloodless vic
tory over the Fenians ought to be sufficient
for the most bloodthirsty of the Bluenoses;
and if they do not desire to be annexed to
the United States, it will be well for them not
to inaugurate movement that will be most
likely to bring about such contamination.

GOLD WIN SMITH ON ENGLJSH
EDUCATION

REoENTLY letter from Professor Goodwin
Smith was published in a London paper,
from which it was copied by the press of the
United States and commented upon with con-
siderable severity Professor Smith dis
couraged emigration, especially to the South
ern States, and he referred to the general
management of affairs and the people in a
manner that occasioned much offenss He
said things that were very properly considered
very much out of place as coming from a
man in Professor Smiths peculiar position,
and, taken in connection with his ridiculous
furry over Senator Summers speech, the letter
tended to intensity the feeling against him
and to greatly diminish his usefulness With
regard to this letter Professor Smith writes
the following explanation to the New York
N0tiOn:-
TO the Editor the Nation-Sir In commenting on
my letter the subject Of emigration, you speak OF
it as addressed TO the London Daily Netos. think
1t right state TO You that il was addressed not to
the Daiy Necs, nor to any journal, but to friend;
and that 1t was not intended for publication.
Yours faithfully, GOODWIN SMITH.
This of course places the matter in a some
what different light, for man is entitled to
say many things privately that are both mex
pedient and improper for publication. 1t
would be well for Professor Smith to remem-
Der, however, that he is looked upon as the
special patron of the English laboring classes
who may emigrate or may propose to emil
CRATE to the United States, and if he does not
wish to have such letters as the one referred
to made public, he either ought to refrain
from writing them, or else make his friends
understand his wishes so plainly that they can
make no mistakes that will be followed by un-
pleasant consequences.

Lord Tenterden.

A cable telegram from London announces the
death of John Henry Abbott second Baron
Tenterden, in that city yesterday. Born in
1896, he had attained the age of seventy-four
years. His father, Charles Abbott, first Baron
Tenterden was celebrated jurist, and at one
time Chief Justice of the Court of Queens
Bench. The second Lord Tenterden was edu-
Gated at Oxford, and succeeded to his father
seat in the House of Lords in 1882, whereEhe
acted with the Conservatives. Having never
married, the title of Lord Tenterden descends to
his nephew Charles Stuart Aubrey Abbott.

BY THE ADMISSION of Hon. Caleb n Taylor
to seat in the House of Representatives in
the place of DR.. Reading, every portion of
Philadelphia, except the First district, will
henceforth be represented by Republicans
We trust that Kelley, ONeil Myers, and
Taylor viii be able to give good account to
their constituents of their action on questions
connected with taxation. Let them stand up
for protective tariff as bravely as they can,
but let them not forget or ignore the necessity
of reducing or abolishing the taxes on foreign
articles which are not manufactured in this
country (and more especially ON tea and
Coffee, and of abrogating the income tax,
and other specially obnoxious portions of the
internal revenue system. The people never
more imperatively needed financial relief,
and if we do not greatly mistake the signs of
the times, questions connected with taxation
will constitute the main issue in the coming
Congressional campaigns. Let our members
take good care to establish clear records on
these subjects

SENATOR NYE intends to introduce an
amendment to the bill for the suppressio on of
polygamy in Utah which recently passed
the House of Representatives. and is now
under consideration in the Senate, which will
allow the peculiar institution of Mormonlsm
to remain intact at present, but which will
prohibit it in the future, 1t is exceedingly
doubtful whether such measure as this can
be made operative, although it is cert ainly
an improvement over the more stringent pro-
visions of the original bill. TO enforce any
law on the subject of polygamy in Utah will
require the presence of large military force,
and will entail an enormous expense that the
Government cannot afford at the present
time. The general feeling throughout the
country is that Congress had better let this
subject alone, for the present at least, and see
what effect the rapid increase of the GENTLE
population of Utah will have in modifying
the Objectionable features of Mormonism. 1t
may be necessary at some future period for
Congress to adopt such legislation as that
now under discussion, but under existing cir
cumstances it is certainly not expedient.

AN EXPEDITION has at last been organized
in the New Dominion against the Red River
rebels. 1t is to be composed partly of British
regulars and partly of Canadian volunteers,
and is to be under the command of Major
General Lindsay, of the British regular army.
Meanwhile the New Dominion is threatened
with Fenian raid on its northeastern boun-
Diary, and, although there does not seem to be
any cause for serious alarm, the Kanucks are
kept in decidedly uncomfortable state by the
double danger threatened. The most sensible
thing that could be done under the circum-
stances for the common good of all parties
concerned, would be for John Bull to hand
over his Improbable American possessions to
the United States Government as payment in
full of the Alabama claims, and indirectly the
present troubles will have tendency to CON
vince British and Canadian taxpayers that
this is their true policy. From this point of
view, if from no other, the troubles of the
harassed colonists possess interest to the peo-
pie of this country, and the progress of
events will be closely watched to see how
rapidly they hasten the development of the
growing sentiment in favor of annexation.

Whitef1eld and the Thunder
Storm.

On one occasion, Mr. Whftefe}d
was preaching in Boston, on the
wonders Of creation; providence
and redemption, when a violent
tempest Of Thunder and lightning
came on. In the midst Of the ser.
mon it attained to so alarming I
height that the Congregation Sat
in almost breathless awe. The
preacher closed his notebook, and
stepping into one of the wings Of
the desk, fell on bis knees, and
and with much feeling and fn6
taste repeated: .>...c :
clark! The Eternal rcnds the; skyt -
A mighty voice before Him goes p. e..
& voice of music to His friends, ,..
But threatuing thunder to his foes.
Come, children TO your Fathers arms;
- Hide in the chambers ofmy grace
Till the fierce storm be overbtowr;
And my revepgins fury cease"
"Let us devoutfy sing; to the
praise and glory ofGod, this hymn ;
'.Old Hundred" -. =.
The whole congregation instant:
ly rose, and poured forth the Sit
cred song, in which they were
nobly accompanied by the organ;
in a style Of pious grandeur ana
heartfelt devotion that was lprob-
ably never surpassed. BY tho
time the hymn was finished, the
storm was hushed; and tho sun,
bursting forth, showed through
the windows to the enraptured as
sembly, a magnificent and bril-
liant arch of peace. The preached
resumedthe desk and his discourse;
with this opposite quotation:
"Look upon the rainbow; praise
Him that made it. Very beauti-
ful it is in the brightness thereof!
1t compasseth the heaven about
with a glorious circle; and the
hands Of the Most High have bentss
ed it." F..
The remainder Of the, services
was calculated to sustain that ele.'
vated feeling which had been pro-
duced; and the benediction with
which the good man dismissed the
flock was universally received with
streaming eyes and hearts over
flowing with tenderness and graf
itude.

There is astory going the rounds
which relates how an Englishman
who had swallowed a sovereign,
went to a London theatre, and
was so much amused that he
coughed up the coin in :: violent
fit Of laughter. But this is no.
thing to a case we know of
There was boy out at Manyunk
who accidentally swallowed a silver
halfdollar. Well, they gave ths5
boy warm water, and tartar-emsdc,
and antimonlal wine, and Poked
their fingers down his thr9at un,
til the 10Y thought bs would
throw up his very toe7rails. And
yet there that half dollar stuck, as
tight as ifit were ins bogus savings
bank. After awhile along came a
doctor who understood these cases.
He gave the boy a small dose Of
patent medicine, and in less than
ten minutes he threw up the
whole of that half:dollar in five
cent pieces! Science is a big
thing.
