The GOVERNOR has committed the sem
tence Of Fuchs, the Brooklyn butcher muir
derer, to imprisonment for life. The COM
mutation was granted on the statement of
the Judge and the prosecuting attorney that
the murder was not premeditated, but was
committed suddenly and under aggravating
circumstances In other words, thestate-
ment Of Fuchs as to the situation in
which he discovered his wife and the muir
dcred man was true. But if this be really

Omcial Inhuma nifty In Jersey city.
"Man's inhumanity to man" has from the
very beginning of his tenancy of earth
caused untold misery and affection. 1t would
seem as if the sight ola suffering fellow crea-
ture can steel the hearts of men and women
who have been known to lavish the utmost
affection on favorite brutes, and many q
starving child has been turned from the
street door with harsh words of refusal and
reprimand while the obese poodle was
cycling with satiated disdain the daintiest
food that could be provided to tempt its ap-
petite We fear that the tale of horror and
misery, of human suffering and inhumanity
that reaches us from neighboring city, will
set many thinking on the wide difference
that exists between the theory and practice of
charity. Mrs. Ratigan,'of Jersey City. who
was driven from her home by fire on Friday
last, had child sick with the smallpox, and
fed from the burning building into the
street with the little sufferer in her arms.
Seeking temporary shelter from door to
door she was met by refusal in every
instance, and was at last compelled to- lay
her sick child in an old wagon that stood in
the open street, and, wrapping it in thread
bare quilt-all the covering she could pro-
cure-she clasped the poor little creature in
her arms and there passed the long, dreary
night. This was in Jersey City, only ten
minutes journey from the City Hall Of New
York. 1t did not happen in Dakota or in
Arkansas, but here at our very doors. The
selfshness Of fear filed the souls of the
neighbors, and there was no room in
their hearts for charity. All this we can
understand; it is human and presents
the contrasting feature to the theoretical
virtue which we have referred to; but
what excuse does the Health Board of Jersey
City offer for its conduct in this monstrous
affair? This organization for the relief Of the
sick poor that costs Hudson county over
twenty thousand dollars per annum-
this bureau that has been specially
established for dealing with emergen-
cies created by epidemics, and for
which smallpox hospital has been
built and two ambulances provided
where were the officials of this model insti-
tuition while the mother sat shivering in the
open street, rs she strove to shelter err DIVING
child with her bare and trembling arms?
Shame, eternal shame rests on the shoulders
of these well paid sinecurists of the JERSEY
City Health Board, who, in their lazy indif-
ference to their duties, permitted scene to
be enacted in the streets of their city which
could not be witnessed among the ragged
tents Of starving baud of Sioux Indians.
The EMMA MrSE.-A notice has been

The Berlin npte to the Sultan is very
positive in its tone, if its contents are cor
rectly reported in the cable dispatches from
Paris to-day. The Sultan is accused Of
having, by his failure to promptly fulfil tho
engagements he contracted in accepting the
terms Of Count Andrassys note, encouraged
Mussulman fanaticism and caused the
deplorable calamity at Salonica The
Powers have therefore agreed upon
six points, and signify that they
must be accepted by the Sultan before the
expiration Of the armistice or such measures
will be adopted as may appear requisite.
These points demand of the Sultan two
months armistice to afford time for final
settlement Of the Herzegovinan troubles, the
restoration of the Christians houses and
churches. the supply of the owners with
food for one year, the exemption of the
refugees from taxation for three years after
their return, the withdrawal Of Turkish
troops except from six fortified towns,
the disarming of the Moslems before the
Herzegovinese, and other severe conditions
to enforce the faithful carrying out of those
named. The terms will be regarded as se-
we're, but they could scarcely be more mod
crate. The Sultan is in bad way. To
refuse the demand of the Powers will destroy
him to yield to them will probably cause
his sacrifice at the hands of his own people.
Tho Irish University Crew Preparing
for the Centennial.
Whatever may be thought of the course Of
Oxford and Cambridge in replying to the
recent handsome invitations to row our
students on Saratoga Lakeland it may
be well to suspend judgment thereon
until the quality of the proposed Trinity
four is learned-our dispatches show
that there can be no doubt about the
spirit and energy of game little Dublin
University. She now proposes to send over
six-oared crew instead of q four, as had been
all along expected. Her men hope to reach
our shores late in July, and generous
friends have at the last moment Of
fered to pay all expenses" This evidently
means d race. and courage like this
will find most generous appreciation
throughout our land. But as there has
been no challenge to a six-oared contest,
and the Centennial Committee have wisely
deferred to the very general custom in both
this country and Europe and made fours
the standard craft for club racing, entirely
excluding skies, there is doubtless some mis-
apprehension on the part of the coming
rowers. It is hoped that this will be
promptly remedied, as the time is fast slip
ping by, and all preliminaries should be
adjusted as soon as possible. We predict
most hearty reception for the coming
Grew and visit that will be long remem-
bered for the good time and treatment hers
enjoyed.

form, yesterday united with his Tammany
colleagues in the Board of Apportionment to

Comptroller Green. The first movement of
the Comptroller in favor of reduction of

A Washington special states that the
national republican committee has discev-
cred the existence Of q circular printed in
An office in that city, and circulated exten-
sively over the south. The circular states
that ION the nent Inauguration day there
is to be an extensive military parade in
the city Of Washington, and invites all
rifle clubs white leagues or other military
organizations in the south to attend and
participate. 1t requests that notice be at
once sent to the person who signs the cir
cular, Of the names of any who intend to
come. The circular asks for the name and
war record Of the commander Of each
company, the numerical strength of each
company, and the number of members
who have had active military experience;
also the number and character of arms in
possession of each company, and the cali
Dor of ammunition required" We are free
to admit that we question the commences
OF this circular or Of the information
which declares its existence. Its contents
Sc ack of revolution but whatever may be
the desires of southern democrats in that
direction they will not precipitate con-
tlct without the active cooperation Of
tueli Noitnefn party allies. AS ina! coop
Grafton is not promised by the acts and ex-
pressions Of democratic residents of the
north there is little reason to fear the es-
tablishment of armed resistance to the ma
tienal authority. Such circular might
have emanated from 4 few hot headed par
tisans who would ruin because they could
not rule, but that the democratic party at
large was consulted in regard to its issu-
ancs is not to be presumed.-Press d d.

A Sad Case.

Some four weeks ago, Lewis Oleson
son Of Ole Oleson, living near Msckling,
troze his feet; the toes On both feet became
dead and turned black from decomposi-
ton in the course of q week. They were
not removed, but allowed to stuff away by
: Glow and often dangerous process. On
Friday night last, it was noticed that he
had difficulty about swallowing and in
opening his mouth. Soon afterwards there
was spasm about his jaws, which grad
ually extended to the muscles Of the body.
His jaws became set and the spasms in
creased. On Saturday night he died; just
49 hours from the first symptom OF the ter
rlble disease-Lock-Jaw, or Tetanus Med
ical aid was only called about four hours
before his death. The "cramp" of the
muscles was SO terrible that his ribs and
breast-bone were broken and distorted.--
This is probably the first case Of this dis
ease that ever occurred in this county, and
perhaps in the Territory. Vermilyi9n Re-

Governor Pillsbury last Saturday started
out for tour of inspection along the line
OF the Sioux City & St. Paul Railroad, to
ascertain for himself as to the general con-
dltlon OF settlers in the southwestern por-
tlen OF tbs State, and the extent of suffer
ing likely to exist there by reason of the
grasshopper invasion. Numerous &C.
counts have been received of cases of des-
'ltution, coupled with request for aid, but
as no fund is in the governors hands he
could 40 nothing officially forathe relief of
the applicants, although there is evidence
that the big hearted governor has used his
private means in no :stinted gmanner in
many of. these cases.
He returned today well informed in re-
gard to the section Of tine State (which he
has visited and prepared to make such rec
omendatlcns in his forthcoming message
as shall be best calculated to meet the re.

Prof, Aughey, Of Nebraska, discussing
the insect question, looks to birds IS 4
remedy. Among the rest he says:
"Now, suppose that the insectivorous
birds were left to increase until there We're
about 600 to square mile Each bird,
at low calculation, would require 100 in.
sects for food each day. This would de
slroY 100000 insects each day on every
square mile, and in month 10000 ,OOj,
and in five months $50, 100000. But insec
tlvorous birds really consume nearer 200
than l00 insects each day, and at this rate.
800 such birds to the square mile would
accomplish the same result. If birds are
increased to the number proposed there
will be insects enough to furnish them
with 1ood lor many years, When onccthe
insects become reduced in numbers, the
birds, OF their own accord, if left alone,
will take themselves to other regions If
they must be killed by carniverous man,
let the point Of oyersupp!y be fvsts
veached.'
