AMERICAN CAPACITY FOR EASY EXCITE.
MENT.
London, Nov. 9.-The Times says /:
When We hear that public opinion in the
United States has suddenly been thrown
into a ferment by the revival Of the fishery
question. and that Mr.. Evarts has written
two vigorous dispatches for publication,
which couple Of weeks before the deci-
sive elections, has aroused patriotic feel
ings in manner no donbt profitable
to the republican party, We can only
wonder at the capacity for being excited
by small things which Americans
possess. Evarts' dispatches are concerned
with what are apparently rather antiquated
subjects, the fshermen's quarrel on the coast
of New Foundland in January last, and the
payment Of the Halifax award which the
arbitrators announced nearly twelve montht
ago. Whatever may be the course Of the
New Foundland dispute, It can have no
bearing on the payment or non.paymcnt o.
the Halifax award. That must be deter
mined by the American people npor
general principles Of honor and equity
and without reference to subsequen
disputes about other matters II they wiaf
the reputation of the award Of the Hall
fax tribunal they may rest assured We shall
not 60 to war TO recover damages. The.
have nothing to fear save the loss Of thei
national self respect and the uncomplimen
ary surprise Of all the world Of nations.

HOW IT FEELS TO BE HUNG.

One Mr.. MCGEE, down in old Kentucky
lately came near 10 being hanged by a
Vigilance Committee for a murder which
ne did not commit; the actual murderer
being member of that extraGjndicial
body. He has given an elaborate account
of the sensations which attend the method
of dying. Being jerked up by tie rope,
there was no pain while he was ascend
ing. He then could feel his eyes suddenly
turn into balls of fire, and protrude from
their sockets; his muscles refused TO re-
spond to his will; hisjoints felt as if pierced
by red-hot needles; his knees twtcbed and
ierked convulsively. Then came delic o 8
sensation of ccol numbness which began at
the extremities and gradually stole over
him. He lost all desire t, save himself
in fact preferred to die then and there.
Almost every act of his life recurred to his
memory. He beard distant roar, as of a
far away cataract; it became louder and
finally almost dsafening, then it changed
into the most delicious music; everything
was as light as midday; then followed un>
consciousness not absolute unconscious
ness; either be was himself and or him,
self; he seemed to be sailing through space
as q bird seems to float without moving a
wing. The silence was terrible. Great
bodily pain then ensued, and when he
came to himself he found the rope broken
and his executioners disputing as to whe>
tber he should be strung up again or car
ried to Jail. The mercitul plan prevailed;
| he was locked up for three days; then he
was released, the real murderer taking his
place. t..A SIS

The Coming Political Campaign

Both political organizations mean to work
with an effort to secure the control of the neXS
House of Representatives, and the outlook is
that the next campaign will be one of the hot
express confidence tnat they can hold their
own, the republicans seem equally sanguine
that they can overcome the present slim ma
Jority OF the democrats, and by a vigorous
concentrated effort get control of the House.
THE DISTURBING ELEMENT,
the strength of which neither party seems able
TO correctly estimate, is the new natiOna party
which is growing in the west, and which in
California is SO formidable innumbers as to
cause the apprehension with many democrats
and republicans that it will send a delegation
OF 1ts own representatives to Congress.
sCffOSE THE HOUSE HAS TO ELECT A PRESI-
1t may be, in the course of events, that the
next House of Representatives may be called
should be realized it should be borne in mind
II twenty state delegations would have the
cb0ice. The number of states in the Union is
Il rty-eight, each state when electing Presi-
dent has but one vote in the House, so that
twenty votes would be majority necessary
for choice; In the present House of Repre-
se4tatines taa " the republicans have majority of
Florida are both evenly divided. Ii the neces-
Slty arose the election of a Preside mt by the
present House there would undoubtedly be a
dead lock, because OF the equal division of the
politics in two states and the control of seven
teen by the republicans. The necessity of
securing majority of the state delegations
IN the next Congress is at once apparent.
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE HOPES
OF holding al the delegations they now have,
except, possibly, Ohio, which is to be gerry
wandered so as to double the present demo-
cratic representation in Congress. What they
lose in Ohio, however, they expect to gain in
New York, which now has a majority Of dem
ocrats in the delegation. They feel reasonably
sure, too, OF Colorado, which is now democratic
SO that if they can gain the majority of two
other state delegations, even though the next
House be democratic, they can prevent the
election OF democratic President. The re-
publican campaign Congressional committee
a1e aye th to the tam OF this and
paign with view of obtaining majority in
the next House, they will also seek to secure
twenty delegations having a republican ma.
out OF the thirty.eight If the next House should
6y any chance be called upon to elect Pres
