Democratic by the decisive majority of
1910, by which vote Ingersoll is re-
elected Governor. The Stenate stands,

Democrats also have about 70 ma

THE testimony of physicians herea

THE testimony of physicians hereatr
ter, perhaps, will have more weight
In criminal trials. One Mcconnell, in
Canada, was tried for murder, and the
defense proved by the testimony OF
doctors that he was insane. He was
condemned and hung all the same.
An autopsy Of the body revealed the
fact that his skull had actually been
fractured, as testified on the trial, and
a portion of the brain near the fracture
was found In such diseased condition
as that insanity would naturally have
resulted. This development has left
rather an unpleasant condition of af-
fairs In the community where he was
executed. The physicians may have
been at, fault in the Wharton and
Schepe cases, but they seemed to have
hit the mark In MeConnelps.

The Hon. John Ireland will never
warm seat In the United States Sen
ate, and the press that advocate him
will sooner or later find that their diff
fusive and verbose pufts of this distin-
tinguished trimmer will have been in
vain. 1t will take nothing short Of II
Cesarian operation to deliver the Fiji
teenth Legislature of their vote for this
heightened representative of vaccilla-
ting public opinion. We like frank
ness and a manly utterance of honest
opinion; we despise cant and strain
ing after popular prejudices. John
Ireland has never advocated any great
principle. In the greatest debate In
which he ever participated he met
with disastrous and overwhelming
defeat at the hands of Culbertson.
He does not possess that profound
judgment, accurate knowledge, or
brilliant oratory which has been dis
played by the opponents, who so eff
fectually silenced him on the great
issues of the day. Upon law points
his arguments were ever weak and
untenable, and in originating or dis
cussing the intricate problems that
ever present themselves for solution to
the he statesmaniwas the exemplitica-
ton of medocrity itself. Beyond this,
John Ireland was fair representative.
He was certainly man whose integ-
rity was above reproach, and whose
character was exemplary, and whether
this be negative praise or not, we will
accord it to him.

REGENT attempts at forgery by tn,

RECENT attempts at forgery by the
alteration of the dates and amounts of
written checks and drafts have result
ed in investigation as to how erased
writing may be rendered visible.
Various chemical processes, more or
less efilcacious, have been suggested,
but the simplest process yet advised,
says the Scientific American, is the
photographing OF the suspected paper.
This Is founded on the fact that feebly
colored substances, while very slightly
affecting the eye, act powerfully upon
the sensitive film in the camera. 1t Is
only necessary, therefore, to photo
graph the suspected paper to bring out
in the proof the effaced writing in an
entirely legible condition.

threading over a recent and very
interesting work on China from the
pen Of William Speer, d. D., we were
attracted by his notes upon tea and is
method Of preparation for foreign ex-
port. II seems that the earlier pur.
chasers of tea evinced strong predilec-
lions for green color, and to crafty
this perverse taste the great bulk of
teas shipped to the United States are
poisoned with Prussian blue and gyp-
sum. 1t Is estimated that In every one
hundred pounds of tea consumed by
! our people, more than half'a pound of
this poison Is contained. In America
we even do worse than this. There
arc parties who secure the tea leaves
after they have been used, dry them,
re-poison them into beautiful color
aud make large sales.

GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL"

The eX Confederates, with their North
ern allies, plume themselves upon their
great saving in the expenditures OF the
Government during the present fiscal year.
Mr.. Randall, the chairman of the Appro-
priation Committee, boasts that himself and
his brother Holman, by their sagacity, per-
tinacity and courage, saved $50, 900, 900.
Accurate figures make the diminution Of
like appropriations amount to S25, 600, OOO
1t is not material to our present purpose
what the sum may be. When viewed in
its proper light the people can have but
little interest in it. 1t does not lesson the
public burdens one iota; on the contrary, it
increases them. Had the Democracy by
its legislation reduced taxation the people
might thank them, and well afford to give
them q longer lease of life. They have
not lessened taxes a single mill. They
have covered into the Treasury $50, ,OOO, 900,
and taken this amount from circulation,
and to this extent their policy is contrac-
ton for time at least, for by and by the
Government will be SO far embarrassed in
lis operations that Congress will be obliged
to draw forth this sum, and even more by
deficiency bills, TO meet the pressing de
mauds upon the Government. Thus the
upsbot of all this Democratic saving will
be the crippling of the public business,
contraction of the circulation to the amount
covered into the Treasury, and heavy
depression of the general business of the
country. In two years time what will this
boasted economy amount to? We Shall
have accumulated in the Treasury for
limited period-but not cent to the peo-
ple-S30, OO0, 600, and this very saving for
only a short time will be found to have
paved the way for an expenditure of an ad-
ditional hundred millions or more, because
had fair amounts been appropriated for
cur navy yards and public buildings i'm
provements would have gone on while
labor and materials were cheap. When
this work must be done it will have to be
carried forward at largely increased cost.
Such is Democratic economy, but where is
the wisdom and craftsmanship of such
proceeding? Covering up money in the
Treasury affords no relief to burdened
people. Reduction of taxation is what the
people want. Did the ex-Confederate
House during the last session meet this de-
mandH 1t utterly failed. We are to have
contraction in the circulation to the amount
of $50, LOCO, 600, but taxes are the same.
Will the people be cheated by this sham
economy? We shall see.

MANToN MARBLE, late editor of the
New York World, and solicitor for Gov.
Tilden's old shoes, has written an open
letter to ''pouting Liberal Republican"
in which he ventures the prediction of the
failure of Hayes and the success of Tilden.
The Democratic press is just now engaged
in printing extracts from this letter under
the ringing title of 'Manton Marbles
Prophecy" as if that settled the matter.
Judging from the past prophecies Of Mr..
Marble and their results, we shall have
little fear of his latest effort in that line
being verified. In 1864 he predicted the
election of Mcclellan But the stars were
either at fault or he read them wrong. In
1868 he both knew and felt, and predicted
beyond peradventure, and substantiated
his faith with those figures which Jack
Downing said would not lie, that Sey-
mour would win and leave Grant at the
head of the army. The result however,
showed that four years had neither i'm
proved Manton's prophetic powers or his
guessing qualities, for General Grant took
the chair. Again, in 1872, Manton Marble
invoked his luckystars, and as he predicted
the success Of Greeley, he threw his hat
in the air and cried "three times and out. -
But it was of mo use. His reputation as
prophet "petered" right out there on that
third successive failure. His present pre-
diction, therefore, in the light of his former
efforts, We regardas simply tolling the death
knell to all of Tilden's hopes of SUCCESS.
National Republican., 1876-08-29

election of Tilden. Admit ii, what then :
A Democratic House, of the same compost
ton with the present can work incalcu-
liable harm to the cause Of right and justice
besides crippling the workings of the Gov
eminent. Argument upon this point is not
necessary to convince any intelligent Re-
publican In Maine or elsewhere. The recent
acts of that House speak for themselves.
We ask our Republican friends in Maine to
stand by the regular nominees for Congress
and triumphantly elect them. All eyes are
turned in the direction of the 'S.ar in the
East" Let the light of that star be SO
dazzling in its brightness that Southern
rebels or Northern doughfaces will not be
able to see their way out of the wilderness.
