the force Of the argument, and while

Then on Monday afternoon came
another festive octogenarian from Ro-

A Partisan Widow.

Paris has had great sensation in a crimi-
nal trial one that has shocked and thrilled
its nervous system with the interest and
curiosity that attend the unfolding of the
story Of drama of intense passion. Not
merely a drama as presented on the stage,
but drama in which there was real ambi-
ton, real crime real money and real oil of
vitriol. In that city young fellow of the
kind that is descended from Adam was nm
wisely intimate with a woman descended
from some far wickeder creature than poor
old Eve : and this woman indiscreetly de-
termined to have oil of vitriol thrown into
the young fellows face and eyes in the hope
that thereby she would never lose hm--till
death did them part. Remaining as nature

and he would sooner or later marry

formity, and blinded in one or both eyes
not young and handsome woman OF them
all would have him while he would still
be good enough for her because the scars
would not seriously compromise his bank
account. This was her desperate scheme to
provide for future in which the dark days
of want and poverty might come upon her.
She inspired u humble admirer with the
courage to do the act by the promise to
marry him when all was over. Now both
are tried and conference.-the woman to
fifteen years mt hard labor and the man to
ten years of solitary confinement. There are
some points in this story that have moral
for us here. This trial consumed four days.

of Jurisprudence, to cover as much ground

The Conservative Panic in France.
The proposition to declare France in "a
state of siege" so that ga free election" may
be secured, will strike people as very abb
surd. Illogical as it seems, to say that
only a soldier, with his bayonet as a
finger post, can be relied on to point
out to citizens how they are to exercise
constitutional right in time of profound
peace, it is the deliberate utterance Of the
conservative press of France. The men
who write and who inspire such arguments
are, however, perfectly aware what they
mean. A 'sfree election" as we understand
it, is not what state of siege would be
likely to secure, but an election in which
the citizens would find the army, as we'll
as the officials of the conservative Cabinet,
saying pretty plainly that no man was safe
who voted or drummed up votes for re-
publican candidate. The army may in all
countries be used to preserve order; but
public order has nowhere in France been
threatened. The political education of the
French people during the last six
years has borne fruit which we do
not think demonstration" with the
army can destroy. The declaration of
"a state Of siege" when there is no besieging
army would look like the Inauguration of a
partisan Terror" which would brighten
very few, and only stimulate the rancor of
politics The effect would be to draw the
party lines tighter, and to make the repub-
licans return members of more pronounced
type. If the majority of the Left was by
this process reduced somewhat it would
as q party be all the stronger in
party elements The truth is that the 81
lent vigor of the republicans and the conf
dence, cohesion and moderation of their
leaders have thrown the fighting royalist
and Bonapartist factions into panic. The
call for "a state of siege" is conservative
panic, and as men act without reason and
without scruple when panic is whirl-
ing their brain it is likely we
shall hear even wilder propositions
before the French elections. We hope,
however, for the sake of France that some
kindly providence will keep such dan
gerous propositions out of the domain
of facts. Probably the republican leaders
have made up their minds not to be goaded
into disorder, but a government has no
right to push the country to the edge Of
civil war in the interest Of congeries of
warning factions that are only party in
their common hatred of another party-that,
too, the party of the majority.

In letter printed elsewhere this some
what notorious mschief-maker gives his
views directly on the reasons of the strikes,
and, by implication, on the erroneous organ
ization of the world at large-views which
we print because they have an interest for
the public quite apart from their sense or
nonsense, inasmuch as the reader who de-
sires to understand contemporary facts
will ever be curious to know by
what tortuous folly large bodies. Of men
were induced to quarrel with their bread
and butter in case where there was really
no principle at stake and no honor to be
gained. All that Donahue has to say is
very old, and will come with painful famil-
iarity to persons acquainted with the litera-
ture of strikes. There is or till lately was,
O man at large somewhere who held that the
arguments were all erroneous by which twas
proved that the world was spherical body.
He absolutely rejected them for the reason,
amply sufficient in such cases, that he did
not understand them. He held, therefore,
to the ancient view that the world was a
disk-circular, if you please, but fiat as to
its superior surface; and he was at all times
ready to lay wagers that this was the truth,
to challenge the human family to argue the
case with him and to suffer the martyrdom
of dungeons and so forth for uttering afro
cious libels against people who refused to
enter into the controversy. In the presence
of man who assumes position
of this nature argument is at fault, of
course. because he denies the ground upon
which it must stand. All strikers argue in
finance and social science precisely as this
Anticipated fellow did in natural science.
They never get beyond the puerilities.
Their views are those of children who are
yet unacquainted with the ungenerous rela-
lions of life 1t is merely comic, however,
to find a man pretending to views in astron-
omy while ignorant of its first facts, for no
great harm. can come of it F; but it is sad to
find great organizations Of men, presuma-
bly, intelligent, whose intelligence is yet
really so low that they are led into extreme
trouble by such mere belaborers of words
without reason as the writer of the letter to
which we refer.

The New Courtuey-Rilcy Meeting.

Since the great English scullers, Sadler
and Kelley, met our oarsmen on Saratoga
Lake in 1871 no sculling race has been
rowed in this country, including those at
the Centennial meeting, that at all equalled
in interest the one now named for Saratoga
Lake on the 28th inst If Mr.. Morrissey's
generous purse of five hundred dollars were
made thousand dollars, as it easily might
be, it would almost certainly insure the
presence of every fast single sculer on this
continent; while if the race were put off n
month it would doubtless bring some of the
best oars in Europe, and perhaps even the
great Australian Trickett himself. One
change, however, should be made The en-
trance fee at one hundred dollars is alto
gether too high, and makes the entry of
many OF the very oarsmen sought quite out
of the question. Ellis Ward, for instance,
says that he will gladly enter if they will
reduce the fec within his ability to pay, and
no doubt this is the general feeling. Mean
while it is pleasant to note that there is
good prospect that Courtney, Riley Hanlon,
of Toronto; Ross, OF Halifax, and Louther,
of Pittsburg, will be on hand; while Faulkner,
Regain, Landers, Davis, Bglin, Englehart,
O'Neill, Plaisted, Ellis and Gilbert Ward
ought all to be alongside these good ones at
the start, and not d few of them even over
half the distance. The course, zoo, should
be straightav and so remove the great
danger of fouling at the stakes. Could the
race be rowed in September could Boyd
and Higgins and Joseph Sedler be brought
from England. and Trickett from his far-off
island home. nothing would be wanting to

We have not attempted to disguise the
truth that it will require some additional
expense in army appropriations for one or
two years. But it will be an economical ex-

emigrants and the rapid filing up
of the Territories will so increase

so long disgrsced our Indian administra-

should be sufficient to enable them to sub

cordance with their previous habits than
laborious tilling of tho soil. But every en-
coumgem should be held out to agricul-
ture proper and the mechanic arts. Tools,
implements and instruction should be freely
given at the expense of the government,
and premiums and other marks of hon.

who make most proficiency. There will,
of course, be restless, intractable spir-

have suggested is hardly open to doubt.

Tho Liquor Question.

Now that lull has come in the troubles
Of the retail liquor dealers it may not be
amiss to consider what advantage has &C
crued to the cause of temperance by the
vigorous campaign waged against them for
the last two months In this city, at least,
nobody having money or credit has found
any difficulty in procuring all the fer
mented or spirituous liquors he chose to
drink. There has been no diminution in
the consumption of these noxious fluids,
and if any good has been accomplished
it consists merely in the fresh zeal
and vigor which the crusade has in
fused into the advocates of total alb
stinence. But, on the other hand, the
annoyance and irritation caused to the
liquor dealers have infamed their resistance
and they are likely to spend greater
amount Of money to defeat temperance can
didates for the next Legislature than they
would otherwise have done. While the
abating the sale of intoxicating liquors they
have strengthened the determination of the
dealers and enabled them to make plausi-
BILE appeal to the popular sense Of justice.
They are in position in which the Legis-
lature of the State never intended to
place them. The bungling looseness with
which liquor laws have been enacted and
amended was not the fault of those engaged
in the traffic, and the Interpretation which
the boards Of excise have for years put upon
the statutesseemed to justify citizens in en-
barking their property in this line of bust
ness. After the tardy exposure by the
Court of Appeals of the laundering Of the
Legislature the dealers who had been en-
trapped into paying for licenses and invest
ing their money in business which they had
every reason to suppose legal ought to have
been treated with moderation and lenity
until q reasonable time had been afforded
them to get out of scrape into which they
had been unwittingly drawn. The cause of
temperance can gain nothing by oppressive
sharp practice. There is no good reason
why the Legislature should not enact as
stringent liquor law as can possibly be en-
forced, but the dealers are entitled to
reasonable notice when their business is
to be treated as illegal. The way. they
were bounced upon after it was found
that the Legislature had not expressed
its real intention in framing the license
laws exhibited more zeal than knowl-
edge. 1t offended the average sense
of fair play, and causes the community
to approve the recent action of the
city authorities which gives partial protec-
ton to the trade until the Legislature can
act on the subject and express its real inten-
ton in clear language. The temperance
agitation is certain to be hot and vigorous
another powerful element to the impending
disintegration and dissolution of political
parties

cheap trial. There was no drama in
court, no theatrical playing upon the
sympathies of the jurymen as there is here
in every important trial, and there was
evidently no tampering with the honesty OF
the jury. Finally, when the testimony re-
ferred to persons who had no necessary rela-
ton to the case before the crime their names
were suppressed. In our city this trial
would have occupied six months, there
would have been disagreement OF the jury,
and, perhaps, second trial, both the
criminals would have been acquitted, and
illimitable scandals would have been made
by the casual references of the testimony.

Decisive operations in Bulgaria are still
deferred, and the battles anticipated for
several days, one at Plevna and another
near Rasgrad. are apparently not yet fought.
Only one movement of the Russians in Eu-
rope is chronicled, which is the further
withdrawal Of their forces hitherto holding
the Balkan passes. That they have retired
from the Boghaz Pass may be true, even
though the report comes through Turkish
channels 1t is not bad sign to find the
Russians proceeding deliberately with their
operations at Plevna. They might have
found an advantage in precipitate action
there some three weeks since but coup de
main is out of the question now, and their
policy is to be sure of success before again
venturing battle. They can scarcely lose
by delay, as the Turks can take no advan-
tage Of it in their present position In
Asia Mukhtar Pacha reports Russian opera
tons on his front which apparently are of
no great importance. An odd contribution to
the history of events in Armenia is made by
an English correspondent in Mukhtar
Pacha's camp who tells how incomprehen-
sible the Russian retreat seemed to the
Turks. They knew of no reason why the
Russians should leave, which sustains the
view taken that the Muscovite catastrophe
was due to the collapse of the commissary
department..
