renewing the outrages. And this account
is not taken from history of the Middle
Ages, but it is part OF the doings of So
called civilized state in the latter end of
the nineteenth century. After all these
generations the Germans have not got
beyond the mental condition of the time
of Edward the Sixth of England in re-
gard to the position of the Jews among
them; and what is most inexplicable of
all is that some of the bitterest of the anti
Semitic agitators have been college profess
ors, learned authors. jurists of European
reputation, and otherwise well informed
men. Such exhibitions of barbarisn in the
very midst of culture revive the difficult
and puzzling questions: What is educa-
ton and what is civilization?

The PLEDGE QUESTION.

The pledge question is being discussed in
San Francisco again. 1t appears that there
are still voters in that city who retain
enough OF the freshness of youth to believe
in campaign pledges ; or else there are ed
itors sufficiently impressed with the peren-
NAL gullibility of the human race to think
that the stale old sophistries in support Of
pledges are still good for something. This
is the more remarkable seeing that the
pledge humbug has been perhaps more
thoroughly exploited in San Francisco than
anywhere in the Union. A couple of years
ago the Sandlot candidates in that city
solemnly promised, among other things, to
cover into the treasury part of their
salaries. This was a specific pledge of the
most tangible kind, and therefore a partic.
ularly fair test. Several of the pledged
men were elected, but none of them has
ever refunded cent of his salary, though
most of them have done all they could to
get more money from the treasury than
they had any moral right to take. And
it has been the same with all the other
pledges. After election they have
invariably been ignored Iu all these
cases, moreover, the truth of the observa-
ton that no pledges will bind knaves,
has been manifested. 1t is always the
knaves who are readiest to take pledges, and
first to repudiate them. The pledge. prin-
ciple is thoroughly bad one, for it implies
that the candidate is nc. well enough
known to the voters to be trusted without
special guarantees. Now such a candidate
is condemned in advance Of election, while
the party that dominates him convicts
itself in the act of negleoting the public in.
terests. No man whose past life does not
constitute a complete justification of his
candidature ought ever to be put in nomi-
nation. No man whose past life fails to
Justify his candidature can be trusted on
the strength of campaign pledges. But if
with their experience the voters Of San
Francisco do not know this, they are
incapable of learning anything from
the facts before them, and in that case
they are fit prey for the political spoilers.

this collapse is sever present. The inflamlna-
tion of the parotid gland has not subsidized,
and what is worse, other gIandular swell
ings are beginning to appear The whole
system in fact is plainly being undermined
by the morbid state of the blood, and while
each new unfavorable symptom indicates a
fresh drain upon the patients strength. it

question Of moving him from the White
House has been discussed very seriously.
but the doctors fear to take the rist.
The President himself manifests strong
desire to be removed, and in such crisis
it seems possible that this longing might
be taken as a guide with comparative
safety. At present the doctors scarcely at
tempt to deny that he must die if he is not
moved, and therefore the risk TO be taken
cannot he very great. But the apprehen-
sion which the physicians feel shows how
very far the exhaustion has gone already,
and upon what slender thread the Presi.

auIrrEAU AND THE PRESIDENTS WOUND

Already there are evidences of DISPOSE
ton in certain quarters to suggest the pos
sibility of Guitteau's escape in the event of
the Presidents death. The argument used
is that after SO long an illness it may be
difficult 10 say positively whether the death
resulted from the wound, OF whether it
was the effect of chronic dyspepsia or some
thing else. This is all nonsense. If the
President dies Guitteau will have MUIR
dered him just as certainly as though he
had fallen dead under the assassin
pistol on the ID of July. Whatever COM
plications have entered into the case since
the shooting are all traceable directly to
the wound. If the President had chronic
dyspepsia before he was shot, yet retained
his strength fully, it follows logically that
dyspepsia could not have exhausted him
had he not been wounded. Guitteau' 5
neck will assuredly not be saved by any
subterfuges Of that kind.

A Goose STORY farmer of London
township, Ontario noticed one morning
that wild goose had joined his flock.
Somewhat surprised at this sudden change
to domestic life, he carefully observed the
behavior of the visitor. He soon learned
that it had not actually joined its barnyard
relatives, but only appeared at meal-time.
Further investigation showed that after
the goose had thoroughly satisfied her own
appetite she would pick up an ear Of corn
and fly away. Greatly interested by the
strange conduct of the bird, the farmer one
morning watched the direction of its flight.
1t was but short distance to the river,
and he noticed that after circling the goose
dropped apparently into the river. Going
down the bank he discovered his visitor
standing by companion who was lying on
the ground and feeding on the ear of corn.
In order to understand this restaurant pro-
iect, he walked up to the feeder and found
that it had been so disabled that it could
neither walk nor fly. Without disturbing
it he returned, and morning after morning
watched the generous goose carry away an
ear of corn. Finally the visits ceased, but
shortly afterward the sick gander waddled
into the camp and gobbled up the corn
