PRIDE HAD A FALL.-Not only is it

at .one of the swell germans a few
nights ago, three couple fell on the

PERILS OF A FEMALE AERoN AIrT

PERILs OF A FEMALE AERoNAUr.-
Miss Ihling, niece of Prof. Wise, the
aecronaut, made balloon ascension
at Philadelphia, Monday. When her
balloon had reached an altitude of
about 5000 feet it suddenly burst.
and was torn from the top to the
valve. The gas came out in such
quantities as to completely overpow.
er Miss lhling, and she fell into the
bottom OF the basket insensible, and
the balloon fell to the ground. The
lady was badly injured, but not kill
ed. When the balloon was first see Tn
to burst, it spun around with fearful
velocity, and the bag fell over the
side. The parac hute arrangement
attached to the balloon saved the
lady from being dashed to pieces.

rNRANTIcInE.

In our local columns this morning are
given the details of two cases Of infanticide,
either of which will cause thrill Of horror
in the hearts of the mothers of this city as
they read of the terrible events. In one
case, that of starving, an inquest has already
been held, and the jury have sent the
woman to jail to await judicial action. As
a rule the community will say well done,
and urge that she should be punished. But
is there not another side to the dark and
sickening story2 According to all accounts,
an outcast from society, the woman, to
drown the bitter recollection of her shame,
sought refuge in drink and other excuses.
From either guilty love, lust or necessity,
this child was brought into the world, and
then the mother, with this additional clog
upon her, was deserted by the man she
claims as its father. In her despair she, as
the only means she knew Of sought and
obtained for it the shelter Of home from
people kindly disposed but lamentably ig-
norant. Satisfied that it was in better
hands than her own, the mother neglected
it, and as result its emaciated form, cold
in death, was exposed to the view Of the
jury yesterday. 1t hardly seems possible
that in populous section of the city like
the one which was the scene of the so-called
crime it could have been allowed to culmi.

edge of the authorities before it was too
late to avoid it.
In such cases as these the sheltering care
Of St. AIMS asylum can be secured, and
if the Boardleys, or any Of the neighbors,
had notified either the clergy or the
police, the child might to-day have been

alive, and the unfortunate mother outside
the prison walls.
In the other case referred to, as yet only
the fearful fact that an infant was found in
a sewer, with its throat cut from ear to ear,
has been ascertained. That is of itself
enough when taken in connection with the
brutal exposure and abandonment of the
dead body of his child by an unnatural
father, as reported in the proceedings of the
Board of Health, and the first recital to
cause people to stop and ponder upon what
measures, if any, can be adopted to stop
this terribly increasing crime of infanticide
and ante. natal murder in this and other
cities.
1t may be done by legal enactments,
properly executed, to punish either the
murderer of the infant in the one case, or
of the abortionist in the other, but until
seduction is made criminal offence, and
he father Of the illegitimate child m de
to suffer as well as the mother, there can
be no hope fora decrease of the crime.

questioned. 1t is the duty of Republi-
"caps to accept the verdict and render the
"same acCuiescence which they would have
demanded had the case been reversed.
If the result of the action of Congress had
Teen the reverse of what it was the sup
porters of the Garland constitution would
have advised resistance, in accordance with
the suggestions of JEFF. Davis. As it is,
the Republicans, after their signal defeat
through the cowardice of the House OF
Representatives, advise a cordial submis-
sion to the present unfortunate condition OF
affairs. This exemplifes distinctly the
difference between the two parties. The
one submits patiently and quietly to the
laws of the land as asserted by lawful au-
thority, while the other rebels against those
laws and seeks to overthrow them by acts
of violence,

NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Let Ben Wade reverse his laconicism.
He said, ''they have got us on the down.
grade" He was mistaken; we are on the
upgrade. New Hampshire is regained.
The Democratic ''tidal wave" has reached
its ebb, and the recol shows that the next
food will demonstrate a national Repub-
lican victory. All the issues involved in
the campaign of last fall, when the Repub-
lican party suffered defeat in other States,
were presented as pertinent to the contest
in New Hampshire yesterday; but they
were presented with the light of few
months of Democratic rejoicing shed upon
them. The result, so far as our informa-
ton Indicate, proves a sweeping Repub-
lican victory. The stalwart and deter
mined devotion to principle which enabled
the true Republicans in the Forty-third
Congress t. battle against the encroaching
presence of a new rebellion, was the sub
iect of criticism. Gordon and Lamar, the
leaders of the Democracy in both Houses,
were sent into the field as forlorn hope,
and fought manfully, as they often did
during the war, for the supremacy of State
rights and secession theories. The apollo
gies of doubling place-hunters, and the
diIly-dally, shilly-shally excuses of weak
kneed recreants were repeated. The Tenn
perance Leagues were revived, and local
preiudices were invoked. In short, the
party was confronted by all the possible
agencies that could be brought forward to
secure its defeat But the loyal men of the
''old Granite State" loyal as ever to the
principles which illustrated their devotion
to the Union during the war, rallied in full
force and put the enemy to rout-turned
the tide, as we have said, of national poll.
tics, and placed the party square and fair
on the track, with an advantage which as
sures its success in 1876.
If the result had been the opposite, the
excuse could have been readily offered that
New Hampshire is a close and doubtful
State, and that the Democrats had merely
held their own; but now the fact that the
Democrats have not been able to hold their
own, rebounds to the glory and credit Of
the Republican party, which has ever con-
tested-but never before so squarely-the
control of Commonwealth in which may
be found the most sensitive and conserva-
tive influences, bred and born of wealth
and the aggregation of capital. The num-
Der of insurance companies and other fidu-
ciary agencies, and great manufacturing or
banking centres within the limits of the
State, gives force to its political decisions as
the reflex of potent power. Every word
and deed of the Republican party, as
demonstrated by the enactments of Con-
gress and the declarations of the AdmiRis-
tration, have been duly considered, and a
verdict of earnest approval has been rem
dered.

THE new Senate Committee on the Dis

as regards the character of the gentlemen
composing it. The interests Of the District
will not suffer in their hands; and in view
of the inaction which illustrated the pro-
ceedings of the same committee in the last
Congress, there is every reason to expect
an improvement upon the manner in which

The official records, from which the Tribune
must quote If 1t pretends to any degree OF accu-
THcy, shows the absolute faslty of the statement.
The deliveries Of -four on the Missouri river for
the various northern agencies for 1894 were in
every Instance at SS17, save that of the Whet-
stone agency at $40. This year all the deliv-
cries are at S2.T3, including the Whetstone
agency; so that while one is increased So cents,
i've others are decreased "A cents. The -four for
the Red Cloud agency was delivered at Omaha
In 1874 at s240 In lsT4-T5 It is delivered at

Cheyenne is IS cents per 100 pounds. So that the
