mains were stolen last May at North Bend, for
the benefit Of science as taught in the Ohio Med
zeal College at Cincinnati. Upon that occasion
we said: "The indignant pubic will be likely
to hold the managers of the Ohio hedlcal
College responsible for this revolving insult
to one Of the strongest instincts OF mankind"
Now that another felony of the kind has
occurred, we do not know that we have any
thing to add to this opinion. In such matters
we are certainly for dealing, and that summa-
rily and sharply, with principals.
How, indeed, is it possible for the managers
of a medical school to escape sharp criticism
and uncomfortable imputations when bodies
which must necessarily have been stolen
from the grave are found upon premises
which the law presumes to be under their
controli Being found in the possession OF
the hldeous SPOIL the Oaus pyObandi Is upon
them, and it is for them to show that the
crime was committed without their knowl-
edge and against their will. Nay
we may go further than this. Ihere
is surely nothing unreasonable IN re-
curing them to prove that they have taken
all possible precautions against procuring q
supply of subjects through violation OF the
law. 1t will not do for them to shut their
eyes and receive the cOnsignments OF the
grave-robber without asking any questions
They should ask questions 1t is their business,
their duty, and for their real interest to do so.
We shall probably be told that it would be
very difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain
the history of every body brought for sale to
a medical college. Difficult it might be, and
those who share the advantage ought not to
shrink from the difficulty. Impossible 1t
might be, and in such cases the Facul-
ties of Medicine should decline to pur-
chase. They must have known at CleVe-
land with whom they were dealing.
They must have known that those who
brought them bodies in bags were not among
the most virtuous and honest OF mankind,
while the purveyOrs themselves must have I'M
derstood that there would be no incOnvenient
questions asked. In the name of common
sense, how could these professors have thought
that bodies secretly obtained, secretly brought
to the school and secreted at once upon their
reception, were honestly procured
By and by, if these painful discoveries
continue to be made, some vigorous person
will propose to abolish dissection by law.
The Faculties of the medical schools may as
well be warned in time. A bill of some kind
10 regulate dissection viii in all probability
be introduced during the next session of the
Ohio Legislature. If the schools find them
selves embarrassed and hampered by numer-
Gus and strict regulations they will have to
thank the Faculties of these medical .semina-
ries, which have kept up a commerce with
the resurrection men without asking any ques-

WHO rs RESPONSIBILITY

The homeopathic Medical College in Cleve-
land, Ohio, is in predicament which may
possibly prove a fatal one to that seat of
medical culture. The Dean and other mem
bers of the Faculty, several students, aud even
the janitOr-all these. if they have not given
bail, are ANONYMOUSLY locked up like
common thieves. But not like common
thieves are they exactly. The booty
which they are charged with carrying of
was not of an ordinary character. The strong
place which they are accused of rihing has
been regarded as sacred by the common con-
sent of civilized and of uncivilized nations in
all ages. Edwin French died last Saturday
morning. On Monday his body was laid, we
may reasonably suppose. with many tears,
il the grave. On Tuesday, 1t was discovered
that this grave was empty and on the same
day, the detectives found the corpse, in a
tank under the floor, In the Homeopathic
Medical College aforesaid. The case, in most
of It's details, bears strong resemblance II

What revenges indeed does this whirligig of
Time bring in There was no end of fun in
Democratic circles few years ago at the dis
turbance Mr.. Butler was making among the
Republicans, and the CONSERVATION created by
the announcement that he wanted their nom
nation for Governor. They chuckled and
rubbed their hands in glee and gloated over
the prospect of family jar in the Re-
publican party. They said old Ben 7"
was "smart; :" that he was the legiti-
mate fruit of Republicanism, the logical
result of Radical rule that it was a most
proper and fit thing that he should be the
Republican candidate for Governor Of Massa-
chusetts, and that the party would be guilty
of the blacklist ingratitude if 1t did not nOmi-
nate him. And in their zeal TO egg him on
they actually began to coddle him and say
sweet things to and about him, much
as a crockery dealer, seeing a brindle bull
prancing around In rival establishment,
might say: "There now is an uncommonly
"talented brindle bull-that mans own bull,

THE pROSpRCT

The fate of the Democratic party in Massa-
chusetts and in Maine is a warning which not
only that party in other States, but the Re-
publican party everywhere, may proftably
heed. Buffers brutal insolence is not merely
amusing and laughabe. 1t has very serious
side, for Butler is one of those men who re-
sort 10 insolent brute force only when they
think themselves strong enough to beat down
all resistance. If Butler is not in fact strong
enough to beat down, in the Democratic party,
all opposition which cannot be concentrated
in support of q Republican ticket, he has made

After the frenzy and turbulence of Buffers
mob. the Republican Convention at Worcester
was as tame and respectable as a religious
conference The unasslmilated immigrants,
the professional demagogues and the political
tramps had disappeared, and in their places
were grave and earnest men who did
not look, smell and act like rOwdies.
Their work was quietly but admirably done.
Mr.. Talbot, their candidate for Governor, is a
conservative Republican, whom respectable
Democrats will find 1t easy and natural to
supDort, rather than vote for shameless
repudiator and political outlaw. Mr.. Long,
who was nominated for Lieutenant-G Governor,
has made an excellent record as Speaker Of
the lower House of the Legislature, and is
Dopular with all classes. The cornerstone
of the platform is honest finance. The
refunding and resumption measures of the
Administration are heartily commended. The
marty that preserved the National existence
"pledges itself to preserve the Nations honor"
All paper currency must be "redeemable in
"coin at the will of the holder" and both
coin and currency must be kept at all times
eat par with the gold standard of the COM
"mercial world" Nothing could De more ex-
plicit. There is certainly no hollow sound of
compromise in that financial plank. The sec
tons in relation to State finance are designed to
meet the specious pleas which Butler has urged,
and the ringing declaration ID made that in
Massachusetts the interest of each is the in
terest of all, and that those who teach that
the community is composed of hostile classes,
having antagonistic interests, are public
enemies. With so judiciOus a ticket and so
sound a platform, the Republicans cannot
fail to carry the State. All classes who honor
the noble old Commonwealth will take pride
in swelling the majority. Mr.. FaxOn was at
the Convention, disputatous as is his wont,
and it is to be hoped that he will
bring his influence to bear upon the
Prohibitionists ana reduce the waste of Re-
publican votes to minimum. Buffers short
| cut to the Democratic nomination must be
made a Dutch Gap operation by which he will
be effectually bottled up for the rest of his
| life.

The fighting on the Save, which forms the
northern frontier Of Bosnia, tends to enliven
the dreary progress of the Austrian invasion.
Finding that their steamers were fired on, the
Austrians resolved to drive the insurgents
from the river, while General Szapary renewed
his march toward ZwornIck on the DriDa.
The stubborn defence of Bercska, Krespic
and DubraVa shows that the Austrians
undertook an arduous task, and the in
surgents are still determined to contest
bravely every inch of ground against the
invader. From a military point of view, their
prospects are dismal, inasmueh as they are
.Outnumbered by the Austrlans, who hold i'm
portant strategic points, and would make the
greatest sacrifices rather than retreat. But
like Indians, the BOsnisns make little of the
force or persistence of the foe until they meet
with overwhelming disaster. Vigorous opera
lions may hencefOrth be expected from the
Austrians, since speedy victory alone can quell
the opposition which is gathering against
Count Andrassy in Hungary.

The defeat of the Canadian Government is
complete. After vigorous campaign III
which Free Trade and Protection were the
leading issues, it is placed in a hopeless
minority of 20, with three of its ministers
unseated. Since it came into power in 1873,
it has commanded substantial majorihes, and
resisted energetcaly the efforts of Sir John
A. Macdonald to alter the tariff in the inter
ests of domestic industry. But hard times
have made the Canadians reflective, and led
them to declare for measures designed to en-
courage manufactures and provide a home
market for the products of the field They
have not been swayed by large manufacturers,
sometimes called "blOated mOnOpOlists,' for
there are few such in Canada, but have been
guided by the broad, liberal purpose to pro-
mote the public good by stimulating new in
dustries, and encouraging those which already
exist. They have given Free Trade fair
trial, and although they have been flooded
with quotations from Bastiat, and stories
of American poverty, they have resolved
to have no more of it-Mr Mackenzie
will, of course, retire promptly from the Pre-
miership and be succeeded by the COnserva-
tive leader, Sir John A. Macdonald, who was
OeIedJeu dl hlHSSlOh' UuU Hi'J i''"''' ~
seat elsewhere. Sir John is the experienced
statesman who promoted Confederation, acted
as Premier from 1867 to 1878, and repre-
sented Canada IN the negotiations which re-
suited in the Treaty of Washington. He en-
lows the confidence of Goodwin Smith, who
gave him an Independent support during the
recent campaign. He is a strong PrOtec-
ZIONIST, and placing Canada first, is, of course,
disposed to defend her industries from Amcri-
can as well as British competition. But in
his desire to expand and diversity Canadian
industries, he is on the road which leads to
q Customs Union, if not to actual annexa-
ton. Meanwhile, Canada, rendered prosper
Gus by Protection, will be better customer
of ours than she ever could be under Free
Trade.

The cleverest scamp of the period Is the
fellow who has been advertising in German
paper for hOusekeepeTs. He has been IN
the habit of calling upon the Ia
dies who answered the notice, and
of marrying them whenever they had money
in bank. procession of six fOrlorn
creatures has filed into the District
Attorneys Office and laid bare bis
ingenious matrimonial speculatiOns. 1t is
known that he has six wives and is engaged
to marry two more and inasmuch as the

tons are constantly on tap, it is estimated
that the number is, as Mr.. Tilden would say,

his wives as mattresses.
