was deliberately murdered by students,
who were on the watch for the Bishop, in
tending to murder him. and that his
brother-in-law was killed only because
he was mistaken for the Bishop.
An earlier mysterious shot will be
recalled in this connection, and some fierce
quarrels of rival colleges are remembered as
having excited an extravagant ill-will toward
the Bishop. Quarrels that are doctrinal or
disciplinary in their source are proverbially
savage and remorseless. and even the famous
case between Cain and Abel has been de-
scribed as religious difference" but that
the theological student of the period is
murderous in his impulses.we should prefer
to doubt until the evidence is put in.

William Allen.

Ex-Governor William Allen, of Ohio who
died yesterday, was not SO old man as was
generally thought. Born in 1907, he was
but seventy-two, but his public career be-
gan and ended early. He served as Repre-
sentative in Congress and two terms in the
Senate and yet retired from public life SO
long ago as 1s49. When, therefore, the
Ohio democrats recalled him into the
political field in 1873 and made him Gov
ernor he spoke to new generation,
to which he had become tradition. He be-
gan life as democrat Of the Jackson and
Benton school, o strict, hard money man,
and he lived long enough to outgrow these
sound views, and in his second period
maintained currency ideas which would
nounce him as no better than whig. In
fact he was one Of tolerably numerous
class of democratic public men who
in these later years have prophesied
very strange things in the names
of Jefferson, Jackson and Benton, and
who must often congratulate themselves in
secret that their old masters. whose names
they misuse, cannot rise from their graves
to punish them. If old Senator Benton,
Tor instance, were to reappear in Missouri
in these days, and in his old vigor, he
would certainly mako short work with the
so-called democratic leaders in that State.

The Canadian Fishery Award.

1t is understood that Secretary Evarts
has begun negotiation with the British
government looking to the abrogation of
the fishery clauses of the Treaty Of Wash
ington. In this he is obeying the instruc-
tions of the Senate. in a resolution adopted
in secret session last December. which, it
will be remembered, was made public some
months ago, and which is in these words =
Resolved. That in tho judgment of the senate.
steps ought to be taken TO provide for early q
termination of the fisheries aud customs arrange
ments between the United States and Great Britain
as possible. by negotiations with that government
to that end.
Senator Edmunds, the author Of this
resolution, is now in Europe, and ought to
have some share in the negotiation for
which it provides. He not only made an
elaborate speech in support Of it, but
caused the compilation Of o mass Of
statistics on the subject, the object of
which is to show that the United States are
badly out Of pocket by the fishery treaty.
These statistics have now been made
public. They show that we have paid five
remitted over a million and a half OF duties
on Canadian fish and oil during five years,
in order to secure the right to fisheries
which have yielded US considerably less
than half million dollars in that period /;
and as the treaty clause is to run for
five years more we are to sacrifice yet
another million and half of revenue
for very slight gain, unless we
can get Great Britain to consent to ter
inmate the arrangement at once. As, how
ever, the United States made the treaty and
took part in the arbitration with open eyes,
it is difficult to see on what grounds Secre-
tary Evarts can now ask for their
termination. He may represent to the
British that we have discovered that we
made very bad bargain but that is
hardly a good claim tor putting an end
to solemn agreement. He may urge
that we are poor and cannot afford the con-
tinued loss Of revenue; but the reply would
be that We are not 50 poor as either England
or Canada at this moment; and, in fact, it
would not be quite dignifed for the Ameri-
can Secretary Of State to be sending around
his hat There is no doubt that the United
States have paid and are paying a great
sum for very triding benefit; but what
can we do about it?
Mr.. Evarts had better hand over the
whole negotiation to Senator Edmunds,
who, as the author of the resolution and
the prime mover in the matter, will know
how to deal with Lord Salisbury; and, if he
can do nothing else, can at least, with his
unrivalled powers Of teasing, worry the
British Secretary for Foreign Affairs into a
bad temper by presenting to him great
variety of disagreeable alternatives.

YeIIaw Fever.

There is no imm ediate justification of the
Memphis panic in the spread of the yellow
fever but it is yet too early to say that the
cases first reported are to have no sue
cessors. Every one will naturally hope
that the favorable news indicates not
merely lapse in the fatal malady, but q
discontinuance 1t would, however, be
unsafe to base any calculation whatever on
such possibility. Had the yellow fever
not broken out ut Memphis this summer it
would hardly be worth while Tor anybody
to trouble himself about sanitary re-
quirements beyond his mere personal
convenience as to odors-that is to say,

would be structures of mere shams If the
fagrant violations OF them practised by
whole communities did not involve terrible

Worthy OF the Finest Force.

The imperialists in Paris have got the
ory. They insist that the young Prince Ma
poleon was not killed by the Zulus, but by
French revolutionists who followed him to
the Zulu country, and having stained their
skins and assumed the light summer dress
of the natives, laid in wait for the heir of
the late Emperor and assassinated him. 1t
might be supposed from this story that Cor
oner Woltman was in Paris holding an in
quest on the dead Prince, assisted by Cap
tain Williams, the leading detectives Of the
finest force in the world an Assistant Dis
trict Attorney and Mr.. Davenport. The
theory sounds very much like that built up
on candle-ends, burned matches and sus-
penders in the Hull murder case and
supported by the statement of the
mysterious ex-convict. We do not know
that the suspected French revolution
lists stand so great risk of being
tried Tor their lives as was run by the
amiable and innocent DR.. Hull but that
is probably owing to the fact that our own
official idiots are not in Paris at the present
time, but in New York 1t would not be
surprising to hear that the concocters of
the French theory of young Napoleon 3
assassination had received an offer from
our sagacious Police Commissioners to join
the New York detective force and aid in
solving the mystery of the Seymour murder.

The Right KIND OF Labor Axitasor.

At Fall River on Thursday evening an
enthusiastic audience Of discontented fac

several persons whom, presumably, they
believed wiser than themselves First came
Miss Lecompte, who is described as a
socialist from this city, and who, the report
says, delivered an address sympathizing
with the striking workmen and denouncing
the employers. She was followed by
speaker who had something more
than sympathy and denunciation to
offer. He was an agent Of West
ern land grant railroad, who advised
the discontented workmen to 90 West,
where they could improve their condition
on cheap lands, make themselves independ-
ent and give their children q fair chance in
the world He offered to show them the
way, and committee Of workmen was ut
once selected to look into this matter. That
is the true way out for the factory operatives
wherever they are dissatisfied. Instead Of
wasting their union funds in the main
tenance of members in strikes they should
devote some part Of these funds to sys-
tematic furtherance of emigration of q part
of the membership and their settlement on
cheap lands In the far West. That is the
best use to which the funds Of trade unions

The WEATuER.-The centre of lowest pressure
moved rapidly over the lake regions during the
early part of yesterday and last evening was
over the st. Lawrence Valley and the northern
portion of the Middle Atlantic States. Its infu-
ence is felt over very large area; in fact, the
barometer is above the mean only over small
portion of the Gulf States. Rain fell in the lake
regions Middle Atlantic and New England
States The quantity was very large some
sections of the lower lakes, owing to the
electrical disturbances that attended the pre-
ciptation. The weather throughout the other
districts was generally fair. The winds have
been from fresh to brisk in the upper lake dis
tIicts fresh on tho Atlantic and Gulf coasts and
generally light elsewhere. The temperature
fell slightly in the New England States re-
manned nearly stationary over the lakes and rose
decidedly in the other sections Of the country

will pass into the ocean within the next twenty

Funeral Honor. to the Dead Prince.

Funeral Honors to the Dead Prince.
Our special despatch from Woolwich re-
counts the particular incidents of the ar
rival there yesterday OF the mortal remains
of the only son of the late Emperor of the
French; the formal Identification of the
mangled body of the gallant boy by those
who last saw him in the glory OF early man
hood; the royal and military honors to the
corpse OF prince and soldier, and the
moving of the procession away over the
Kentish hills at sunset toward the desolated
home Of the heart-broken mother. 1t
is q strange scene that-signifcant
Of the vicissitudes not merely OF
life. but of glory, passion, prejudice and
sympathy. This Prince, toward whose
dead body British sovereign, British
princes and the British army exhibit their
ready respect, was a Bonaparte-one OF
the family of that man whom all England
was taught to hate for at least two genera
tions There are o good many Waterloo
veterans yet alive in England, and the
whirligigs Of time have moved rapidly
when in their lifetime the heir of the great
soldier against whom they fought is ex-
cluded from France and England does all
the honors at his funeral with really graceful
sentiment and chivalric generosity. Eng
land honors herself in this as much as she
honors the exiled family that has received
her hospitality. She is more profoundly
consistent with herself than perhaps she
knows for she acts in this as if upon an
instructive perception Of the significance OF
her own traditions and history, which have
recognized in every stage of her progress
that superior races or families OF men are
to be treasured and set apart and distin-
guished in all ways from the common herd
of humanity. She is to-day in the number
of tree nations the great stronghold OF the
aristocratic idea the idea that superior
quality, physical or intellectual, proved
and shown in great achievements, is the
best and soundest title for the distinction Of
citizens and for the rewards of honor-an
idea that in the course of ages has done
almost as much to elevate and dignity hu-
manity as the idea of absolute equality has
done to degrade it, 1t is characteristic for
EnBlauu 70 uOuOr tue AclI "a euo SICotCoo
soldier of modern times and to utterly for
get old relations Of animosity in new ones
of good will. But the people of England
sympathize with these honors certainly as
much as the aristocracy; and the people Of
France, millions of them, regard her with
grateful hearts for it; and tho people OF
other countries generally, we believe, so
far as they have heard of these events;
for common chord of human sym apathy is
touched by them. All men and women OF
generous natures have tender place in
their hearts for youth who set out in life
as this prince did-who was, perhaps, only
the victim Of great history-who might
have proved the salvation of wonderful
name, and whose end has outdone the
tragedies of story. In becoming the organ
of this sympathy England takes fitting
place in touching picture on the poetical
side Of contemporary history.

The President ana the Civil Service

The President and the Civil Service
Governor Young OF Ohio, has talked
about the political functions of office-hold-
ers with the President, and shows that Mr..
Hayes stands where he has stood for o year
past on that subject. 1t will be seen from
the Governors report of the conversation,
printed elsewhere, that the President thinks
offce-holders ought not to manipulate pri-
maries or conventions, that they may con-
tribute to campaign funds if they wish, and
ought to support their party not as Office
holders, but as citizens, but that what they
do not do in politics shalt not hurt them as
officers.
Mr.. Young gives also his own opinions,
which are in brief, ''Down with the DEM
ocrats !" He would turn out of Office not
only all the democrats, but all the luke
warm republicans-the dreadful fellow
and as the precise fervor Of an office-holders s
faith may be difficult to get at he would, no
doubt, prescribe some new and redhot
sort of test oath to pass around, and turn
out every clerk and tidewaiter whose lips
were blistered In taking it. The good
Governors heat looks little like fright.
When an army begins to shoot the deserters
that is generally a sign that it distrusts its
chances Of victory.
But it is all great nonsense. The demo-
Gratis will probably make an outcry about
the civil service, especially if any of their
own men ore turned out of office but
they have no right to complain. They have
made short work Of republicans where they
have had opportunity, and if the cohesive
power OF public plunder" arrays the office
holders Of the country against them next
year, as it did in 1876, this will
be because their conduct SO far has
given notice to all republicans in
office that they will be turned out if q dem
ocratic administration comes in. 1t is one
OF the gross stupidities of the democrats
that they have not relieved the army OF
office-holders OF this fear. which is more
effective than any compulsion, to induce
the republican clerks to subscribe money
and Give Jealous labor to their party
