Some information is apparently to be had
from the spirits if anybody wants it ; and
we note particularly that the spirit OF Mr..
Stewart himself has been twaddling on this
subject down in Boston. 1t is astonishing
what q temptation there is for people to
twaddle when once they get to Boston.
But we are astonished ut this conduct on
the part Of Mr.. Stewart. Why does he go
to Boston with information? Nobody wants
information there. He was accustomed to
understand better than this how to find q
market when he lived. Why did not he go
straight to Judge Hilton or to the detective
police? This ridiculous course on his part
might induce the incredulous to believe
that the spirit heard from in Boston is not

General Grant at Gibraltar.

In Lord Napier of Magdala General
Grant found soldier who like himself,
had risen to high military position purely
on his merits, but, necessarily, at a slower
rate, and we have no doubt that the .aptor
of Magdala regarded the great soldier Of the
Union with that brotherly interest which
obtains among brilliant captains. 1t is not,
therefore, surprising that the English
commandant OF the great rock fort
ress should have turned out the
garrison and showed how we'll he
is prepared to repel attack by sea or land.
To the soldier few mental problems would
be more attractive than calculating how
best such mighty stronghold could be
reduced, and if, in spite Of his character of
simple tourist and honored guest the old
Ulysses rose within our ex-President, we
presume he kept his cogitations and con-
clusions to himself. Interesting at any
time as it is to traverse the armed galleries,
the winding ways of Gibraltar, under the
friendly guidance Of the man chosen to be
the real leader Of England's armies in case
of a European war; the General must have
enjoyed the place at its best. General Grant
passes thence to Malaga.

Another Attempt Mt Regicide.

Two attempts on the life of Emperor
William and one on King Alfonso, all three
within few months, have been supple
mented by determined effort to assassi-
nate King Humbert During an entry in
state into Naples yesterday an ill-clad man
rushed Mt the royal carriage and endeavored
to poniard the King, who, draw
ing his sword, defended himself,
escaping with mere scratch, while
Minister Carroll, whom he wounded, was
captured. And what is his story? He is a
cook, out Of work he was poor and he
hated the King-as the type Of wealth that
did not avail him, of power that he be-
lieyed was crushing him. 1t is curious that
this was the plea Of H0del in Berlin and
Moncasi in Madrid. Small comfort could
the ill-clad Neapolitan draw from the fates
Of his immediate predecessors in this par
ticular crime. Hodel was beheaded and
Moncasi is under sentence Of death.
The Neapolitan assassin disclaims con-
nection with any socialist societies. But
it is obvious that all Of these crimes are the
result Oh SOclnllSt telcQluPS. IL IS Tue Tule
in such cases that where the abolition of
thing-kingship, for instance-is taught,
some one Of those who accept it rs doc
trine should seek to carry out the idea by
the crude method of killing the first king
Want pressed him he was taught that the
King made the hard times, and, as life was
at best Of little account to him, he would
run the risk of .martyrdom" for the chance
Of niche in history, as successful
surgeon operating on what he would
call the social tumor of royalty.
Serious line Of argument this for the occu-
pants of thrones! Che recurrence of these
attempts enforces attention to the social
unrest Of Europe One by one the king
doms and empires are sharply reminded
that there is force at work which some
time not far off will have to be reckoned
with, when not the lives of exalted persons
but of entire governmental systems will be
the subject Of an attack that no body guard
can ward off. Then if The King draws his
sword it must be at the head of an army.

Change OF Front in the vatican


An important change appears to be on
foot in Italy in the attitude of the Papal
authorities toward the government and in
the Church policy with regard TO public
concerns Ahstention has ceased to be the
moi dordre, and participation is the new cry; ;
so that parties in future Italian elections
will perhaps be complicated even moro
strikingly than in other countries by the
energetic activities of Church party, and
by the appearance Of swarms of candidates
put forth in the Church interest and
urged upon the voters by the ecclesi-
astical machinery Plus IX. set on foot
the policy that the Church should rigidly
withhold itself from all participation in
electoral struggles; that it should neither
have voters nor candidates; that it should
simply stand apart and protest against the
whole political fabric ns an iniquity. There
was good reason for that policy, for as the
suffrage was then restricted the Church, if
it should take part in electoral conflicts,
could never obtain more than feeble mi
nority in the national representation. That
minority would be Ineffective upon legisla-
tion, but its presence would commit the
Church to a recognition of the validity Of
what it had declared was usurpation.
Hence the policy Of abstention. But
the times are changed. Notifications in
the suffrage are on foot; an extension Of po-
litical privileges is assented to in principle
by the government as wise and necessary,
and, though this change will fall short Of
universal suffrage, it will so greatly increase
the number Of voters as to make it likely
that the mental and moral character Of the
political quantity will be widely different
from what it has been in the past In the
Papal councils it is believed that this
change will include in the electoral body
large elements Of the population that have
always supported the Church, and, conse-
quently, it opens ray Of hope that the
Church may be able to cope with it's oppo-
nents even at the polls. Hence the organs
of the Vatican now announce that the
friends Of the Church must regard it as
duty to take part in political conflicts.

THE WEATHEg.-Very little change has
taken place in the meteorological conditions
during the past twenty-four hours. The press
ure is above the mean. except in the northern
Missouri Valley where it is falling gradually.
The area Of highest barometer is still over the
northeastern coast. There Is another high area
over Texas. which dominates the weather in the
Mississippi, Lower Missouri and the eastern Sec
ton Of the Ohio valleys. Between those two
areas there lies narrow trough ~ relatively
low pressure. extending from the yirginian coast
northwesterly into Manitoba. Rain has fallen
over the lake regions, the Middle Atlantic and
New England States aud the South Atlantic
and western Gulf coasts Iu the latter district
it il reported to he very heavy The winds
have been high on the western Gulf coast and
from light to fresh IN all the other sections A
general rise in temperature has taken place in
NIL the districts except the South aud West
where il has been variable. Morning
fogs have prevailed in the lake regions and on
the South Atlantic coast. There is evidently n
depression in which an area OF disturbance is
organizing south Of the West Indies which,
although at present not very marked, may de-
velop considerable energy during its movement
across the ocean. It is not likely TO affect the
weather on our coast very much, but to vessels
travelling south of thirty degrees it may prove
eevere. Strong northeast winds are reported
drom the British coasts, which will probably vcer

panied by rains. The weather in New York and
its vicinity today will be warm and cloudy with

A Vermont Murtler.

Considerable space is devoted in another
part of the HERALD to the case Of Henry
Graveline, Vermont farmer, convicted
nearly two years ago of the murder of a
man named White, on purely circumstan-
tial evidence. Unless the highest iudici-
ary power of tho State intervenes he will be
hanged next March for this crime, Of which
he proclaims his innocence. Among the
chief witnesses for the prosecution was one
who swore, among other things, that the
accused had confessed participation in
the crime, and hal hired him to kill another
man spoken of rs a probable witness on the
trial. An affidavit is now brought forward
seeking to show that this witness, who is al
legged to have served a term in State Prison,
was acting under the directions and was in
the power Of an insurance company which
would have to pay heavy sum on some
farm buildings burned about the time of the
greater crime, unless the guilt of this crime
also could be laid at Graveline's door. We
publish these staten nts. but do not vouch
for them in any way. The case is that of a
man almost at the foot of the gnllows. 1t
is his last struggle for life, and it would be
we'll for the insurance company to state
exactly what, if any, its relations were with
the murder trial. These things all seem
worthy Of impartial Investigation on the
spot where the events occurred, for the care
in cases Of circumstantial evidence can
not be too great. Graveline's story is q
strange one. The first impression one
would receive from his actions from the
time he was first suspected of the arson and
then Of the murder would not be q favor
able one. Nothing, however, could be more
unjust than to take these acts apart from
their surroundings. Hounded, badgered,
seeing his property disappear almost in
night. and stung by concocted stories, he
acted in a way that might not comport with
innocence were it not that it would be as
hard to square it with the consciousness of
guilt in man Of any shrewdness whatever.

The St. Marks Churchyard Mystery.

The ST. Marks Churchyard Mystery.
The police search for the body Of Mr..
Stewart and the daring thieves who carried
it away from the vault in ST. Marks church.
yard is still fruitless and improbable
one, the detectives being apparently almost
as much in the dark as when they began on
the case. This is sad confession for them
to make. There is, of course. no question
about their anxiety to solve the mystery,
and it is announced that they intend to
persevere, and, if possible, bring the
hunt to q successful ending. IL is to
be hoped that these anticipations will
be fully realized, though we confess there
seems very little ground for them. Eleven
days have now elapsed since the discovery
of the outrage was made and the "clews"
are becoming fainter and fainter each sue
ceeding day. Two or three leading police
officials have placed themselves on record
in saying that Mr.. Hilton made mis-
take in stipulating that the reward
could only be earned by the conviction
of the thieves as well rs the recovery
of the body. They claim that this proviso
is stumbling block in the path of the
detectives, for no negotiation" is possible.
To take that view is to admit that our de-
tective system is faulty one, for under it
no clever or accomplished criminal can be
arrested or punished, so the sooner we
change the system the better. In all prob
ability the terms of the reward will have
to be changed in order that the scoundrels
who desscrated Mr. Stewards grave may be
tempted to come forward and surrender
heir unhoy booty.
