CRAZY men are multiplying in

Of q fellow, who announced
that he had come to Wash

the Washington City Jail. Yester-

brother put In an appearance at

mated that his mission was to cook
the goose Of Arthur. The fact is
that nation which has not gone
altogether crazy Itself will some
day awaken to the advlsa bility of
killing OF instanter all HON icidal
maniacs. What earthly use are

Whenever man develops the fact
that he Is insane and hom icidally

after the immemorial fashion that

TAKE 1t for all In all, this 10 an
unlucky year for people who bear
the name Of Garfield. We see, by
the birth column 10 the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, that, on the second
Instant, the wife of . gentleman
resident In that city named Gar.
deld, presented him with triplets.
Thus, It Will be seen, there are cir
cumstances which may even dwarf,
Ia the comparison, the malice Of
an assassin who chances to miss q
vital part. The San Francisco

TIE possible succession of Arthur to
the presidency revives the discussion of
his alleged Canadian birth. There is /,
good deal of foundation for the story,
and of course its truth would make Ar.
thur ineligible to the presidency. He has,
it is true, been invested with the vice
presidency, but this was done, nobody
opposing. 1t may be a different mat
ter when Congress is called upon to re-
cOgnize his title to the presidency, and
it may refuse to SD, if his birth is chal-
lenged, until it has investigated the
truth of the allegation. Yet we know
of no particular method of raising the
question. The constitution prescribes
that no foreigner shall be eli
gible t" the presidency; but if one
is elected and claims the Office
who is to deny it TO him, and how is his
ineligibility to be determined? ? Arthur's
title to The vice presidency having pass
ed unchallenged, the existing officers of
the government could not well refuse to
recognize his claim TO the presidency :;
yet public sentiment runs so strongly
against Arthur that Secretary Blaine
might he sustained in an undertaking to
keep him out of the presidency if he
could plausible show that he was a
Il" blarsted Britisher.''

THE Democratic members of the CON-
mittee of the New York Legislature to
investigate the alleged bribery there
find that perjury was certainly commit
ted 10y one of the implicated Republicans
or both bribery and perjury by the
other. This is an irresistible conclusion
and no amount Of hair splitting or
Jack Bunsbyism should be allowed to
obscure the issue, which, after all, can
only be fairly and finally determined by
a court and jury, with full powers to en-
force and extract the testimony, and de-
termine the truth. The honor of the
great state of New York demands this
judicial investigation, and the validity
or its senators credentials may depend
upon it, for the Democratic majority of
the federal senate will not admit any
man who comes to its door with pur
chased credentials. Their honest ma
jOrity has been wrested from them by
the bribery of Malone restored by the
resignation of Conkling and Platt, it is
not to he taken away by men who secure
their places by fraud or corruption.

THE COMET DIVIcED.
Separating INTO Two Parts, Ono of WI
Carries Or the Tail.

Separating INTO Two Parts, Ono of Which
Carries or the Tail.
Professor Stone, of the Cincinnati OBJ
servatory, has discovered that the comet
is separating into two parts. The line of
separation is horizontal and divides the
nucleus into two about equal parts. The
upper half is the part to which tho tail is
attached and is carrying the entire tail off
with it. The lower part appears like half
moon and is slowly falling away. 1t is,
of course, too early to speculate
as to what track the two bodies will pur-
sue or what their destiny will be. Profess
sor Stone states that when tho separation
was first observed by him it appeared as
though a dark line had been drawn
through the nucleus. The division is now
very manifest. There is a precedent for
this behavior of the present comet in that
OF Biela' S lost comet, which in 1916 suf-
fered a similar accident, for which no ex-
planation has ever been given. The comet
in two distinct parts of quite
unequal brightness, SO that thare were two
apparently complete comets instead of one.
During the month following the lesser of
the two continually increased until is
became equal to its companion. Then it
