The Neu Era-published by member
of Judge Patterson's court-with legal
acumen and courage which would have
served it well in its wrecked libel suits
points out how the previous acquittal OF
Michael Snyder operated to his benefit
1t follows in the wake of the lNTELLI-
GENCER in maintaining that the first ac
quittal was secured for corrupt cOnsld-
Grafton, and it must adopt our lOglca-
conclusion that if the second clearance
was accomplished through the first and
the first 10y 'prostituting the machinery
of justice, :" the final acquittal is as dis
creditable to the administrators of the
law us was the first.
If it is conceded then that such Il
fraud and imposition were practlsed
upon the court and that the powers of
the court were exercised us they would
not have been if fairness and honesty had
characterized the dealings with it, the
question that affects the courts dignity
and the public safety is whether there
has been such contempt of it and such
abuse of it's confidence as to call for an
investigation.
Dy it's failure to order any such in
quiry the court has declared either that
10 contempt of it is possible or that i'll
this case the gross indignity put upon it
shall be unnOticed.
In either case the legitimate query is
why is this thus !?

THE Viscount Ferdinand dc Lesseps has
been received with great cordiality at Pan
anna, and has set on foot the surveys for
the proposed canal. He speaks with con-
fidence of the enterprise, and considers
that the cost will not exceed the estimate
announced at Paris. He says he will have
only a tide-level canal, and dc clares that
he could raise twice the amount of money
needed for the project in France.
TIE New York Herald admits that Grant
parted with Belknap "with regret; "
thought Delano a white-sOuled man ap-
pointed Williams to the chief justiceship,
and made Boss Shepherd governor of the
District of Columbia. All of which, it
thinks, "might prove embarrassing to a
party which should nominate him for a
third term But at present Grant is only
private citizen and the Herald seems tc
want his faults condoned until nominated
and then whacked into him.
THERE is trouble brewing in Erie among
the Republicans. They are generally op
posed to the nomination of Grant. Know
ing this fact the Cameron managers ar
determined not to trust a county convcn
tiOn to select the delegates to the comm!
state convention, but to have them ap
pointed by the county committee, who ar
supple tools of the Cameron ring. TIL
blood of Blaine's friends is up and the
threaten that if Grants nomination is sc
cured by tricks of this kind, the county
which usually goes heavily Republican
shall give an overwhelming maiorit
against Grant next fall.
The vintage of 1879 in France proves t

1878, and nearly 3O,OOO,0OO hectOlitre
under the average of the ten preceding
years. The districts which have suffered
most are Burgundy and Champagne, whcr
the yield has been next to nothing, an
the two Charcntes, where the retur
scarcely reached third of that of 1875
The central departments have not come O.
much better, and in the eastern department
-Doubs, Neuse and Meurthe-et- -Moselle-
scarcely tenth of the yield of 1873 ha
been obtained. The southern department
have suffered less. Aude, Herault an

probably that the prosecutor, who had
summoned the commonwealth to aid
him, was paid to sell out all the interest
that the state had in the case. What
more natural, under such circumstances,
than that the man should write the let
ter he did to the Judge ? On the face of it,
it is scarcely susceptible of being con-
strued into contempt, and in the light OF
the writer's frank and intelligent expla-
nations, no such reasonable construction
of it is possible in a fair mind. Judge
Elcock's conduct in holding the man III
custody for want of bail, and keeping
their protector away from sick and
starving family, is only another demon
siration of how very common men
dressed in little brief authority
play such fantastic tricks before high
heaven as make the very angels weep

J. A. Robinson. the business adviser
OF General Garfield. says that the entire
property Of the General consists OF a
house in Washington and his farm at
Mentor. with its improvements and
stock. The Washington house cost him
$l1. 000. For the farm (Lawn6sld) he
paid So, 900. and he has expended about
$4,000 in improvements and $500 in
stock. This brings the total Value OF
his property up to $4,000. From this
must DO deducted debts amounting to
$4,000, lesving his actual possessions
about $24, 600.

Who Or. Tanner Is.

MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, July l0.-Dr.
Tanner 10 q well-known character in this
city, where he has gained some notori'
ETY. since his fast Of forty-two days,
made in this city two years ago. he il
reported as q man much given to hobby
riding. and. though possessed OF more
than average ability and great acquire.
ments in his profession. has not devoted
himself much to the practice OF medi'
cine. dsvoting more Of his time to the
temperance cause and to discussions in
the Liberal league. q society Of atheists,
rationalists, etc. More recently he has
given his time almost entirely to research
and correspondence on the subject OF
long-continued abstinence from food, in
which capacity be became a newspaper
Office nuisance, with his inevitable bun
die Of manuscript. Love OF notoriety
10 not the least OF his eccentricitiss. An
unusual tendency to accumulate fat when
his appetite IL given unrestrained sway
first led him to limit his diet. by which
means he reduced himself from 200 to
l60 pounds, and those who are familiar
with his habits assert that ho eats scarce
ly enough in tie t~wenty-four hours to
make one ordinary.hzed meal. He has
boarded himself in lodgings during most
Of the time he has resided here. It has
long been Q hobby Of Tanners that abb
stinence from food was the surest
remedy for bodily ailments, and in his
own case hs has regularly practioed IL,
often pursuing . policy Of this kind for
twelve days.
On the occasion that he Is said to
have abstained from food for forty-two
days he was under the surveillance Of
DR.. Mayer. who has no doubt that he
honestly lived without eating during
that time. DR.. Mayer stated yesterday
that the characteristic Developments du-
ring the case are those encountered by
him before. and he has no a~pprehen-
sions for DR.. Tanners safety and for his
ultimate SUCCESS in his experiment. DR..
Mayer declares that the physicians and
attendants all find DR.. Tanner an unruly
patient, who will have his own way in
the matter, and will not be thwarted In
his purpose. Those who know the doc
tor best in this city have no doubt that
he will accomplish bis terrible task. an
less subjected to unnecessary and unu-
sual a%nnoyances.

rAssE.,s STARVATION TEST,

Notwithstanding the oft-rspsstsd as
surancs that Doctor Tanner il watched
closely all the time in the most vigilsnt
and relentless manner night and day by
four physicians deeply interested In
proving the possibilities OF the starvation
limit, it Is very difficult to mako every

Quoted perfectly on the square. Many

CARL SEIZURES SPECIE.

The speech Of Secretary Carl Schurz,
at Indianapolis day before yesterday.
was q mastery effort and may DO oonsid-
cred in the light Of q campaign opening
speech. As q gentleman OF sound politi.
cal opinions and undsniabls ability. well
acquainted with the innsrmost workings
and policy Of our government in every
branch and respect, his opinions and
public u~tterances are entitled to more
than ordinary consideration. Moreover
all who know him best know that he is
strsiphtforwa ard and conscientious in his
uttsrances and expressions OF those
opinions.
In this speech he handles well the
strong points at issue. He comedies the
military ability and generally good rec
ord Of Hancock. but sees In him no
indication Of the civil ability required
and demanded as . statesman, or even
for an sspirant for . position Of the high
magnitude Of President Of these United
States. Neither by nature nor education
Is he atttsd for any civil position where
any statssmanliks qualities, OIL even
knowledge Of civil affairs il required. In
these respects he 10 not to DO compared
with GARFIELD. who il admitted even by
his greatest opponents and enemies to
be . statesman Of the highest order,
with plenty Of experience, aside from
his military record, which Is a
least as good q Hanoock's, and
whose loyalty. either in military or civil
service, has not and cannot be called
into question. With Garfield v Presi'
dent the Government must and will re
main upon the same sound basis where
II has been established since the Repub'
lican party rescued it from the thross o.
rebellion, while Hancock would simply
turn 1t over and betrsy it into the hands
OF the Solid South and the Democratic
traitors who 30 nearly destroyed 1t. Mr.
Schurz concludes his speech a. follows
The Democracy may in the course ol
time gain the confidence Of the people
but that should DO only when tho repudia
tiopists and advocates OF unsound money
havo ceased to be in its ranks SO powerful
and influential an element al seriously
TO threaten the great economical interests
