The Springfield Republican gives the fol- lowing sketch of the Democratic candidate for the Long term Senatorship in New York:
 John C. Jacobs, whom the democrats are fooishy voting for at Albany as one of their senatorial candidates, began life as newspa- per reporter, and did some good work in re. porting the draft riots. Later he dipped into politics, and went first to the Assembly and tben to the state Senate, and has served at Al bany in all IA years. In that time, he has done hosts of men favors and is we'll liked ; but he has also been connected with disgrace full and corrupt legislation over and over again, and is not, either in character or repu- tatien, fit candidate for his party at Albany. He is ready speaker, and has quick eye for Legislative situation. His face is expression less, except as bad habits have bloated it's out lines and his mouth is concealed by redd ish brown mOustache

 A queer development occurred at Hartford, last week. It appears that there has been great loss to the internal revenue from the discrepancy between the beer stamps sold and Some boys were caught stealing the stamps from the kegs. They said they got credit marks from their teachers for 80 doing. The teachers (two Catholics) were then examined and at once acknowledged that they persuad- ed the boys to collect these stamps which they sent to their Superior in France. What the religious house in France was in the habit of doing with them is now the question.

 The woman recently hanged for the assas- sination of the Czar was an old offender, it
 seems. She has been a socialist since she was 16; she has labored with peasants, all the while endeavoring to make them dissatis, fled with their lot she has dressed like 8 man, deceiving police and lodging-house keep CTS she has been sent to Siberia, escaping by the way; in short, she is fanatic of the most desperate, persistent kind. We cannot
 believe that such spirit as that shown by the Nihilists could be aroused except by the
 grossest oppression and the most intolerable
 wrongs.
 A cyclone swept through Solomon Valley,
 Kansas, on Thursday last. which blew down
 a number of houses and killed five people.
 Three of the houses destroyed were of stone.
 Hailstones came down very thickly, and
 some of them were larger than walnuts, and
 contained in the center small pebbles. The cyclone proper was funnel shaped, with the
 small end downward, and at times, as it
 moved onward, the heavy top would careen
 over toward the East, and large jets would
 shoot out in various directions. The display lasted about twenty minutes and the duration of the storm was about one hour. An attempt was made Thursday night to
 blow up the Liverpool Town Hall. A large piece of gas pipe loaded with powder was
 discharged by means of fuse against the door, The two men concerned in the attempt
 were seen and pursued. One of them
 jumped into the canal. They were both cap-
 tured, and were found to be armed with re- volvers They have been identified as Liver pool Irishmen named McKevett and Roberts. Both were we'll supplied with money. Doc uments were found on them connecting them
 with Fenianism Roberts had been for some years in America.

the whole asuccess, chiefly because it organ izes the better elements of the college con- munity and teaches them to protect them selves.
 The minor and incidental advantales of the system need not be fully detailed here {; they will readily occur to the experienced and thoughtful. If the great end-that of good government-be gained, the experiment must be counted e success. Thus far, through ten years, it has been fairly successful; not in- deed without occasional failures; not with any ideal perfection or result yet it has sue. ceeded SO well that trustees and faculty and students are ready to continue the experiment. But will it succeed in other institutions. diff ferently circumstanced and constituted Ex perience alone can determine. There is, how ever, principle involved which renders it probable that if the experiment is fairly tried by a wise and popular Faculty, and espec- ially in an institution not overF0n with mis chievous traditions, nor broken up into secret societies. 1t will prove a success. This prin ciple is that of tue organization of the good elements
 The experiment herein described organizes the better elements among college students |; it unites openly the upright and the we'll meaning in the name of law and public good ; it clothes their action with the sanctity of public dnty. Students. acting as govern 1 ment defending public interest, cannot be stigmatized and shsmed by the artful cry that they are betrayiug their fellows. The per-
 nicious fallacy that the eoncealmsnt of q con-
 rade's crimes against public order is duty of | good fellowship, 80 fatal to ordinary college l government, here stands unmasked and rob bed of its baeful power. The mischief-doer confronts not simply fellow students, but the l officers nt rightful government, organized
 and bound by highest duty to maintain public
 interests ana punish crimes against society. Who cannot see the immense change which is
 thus introduced into college life? A ravolu- tion as from midnight to noon cay is made in popular sentiment and college tricks stand re
