ADVERTISING BY TELEGRAPH.

A dispatch was sent yesterday from
Paris which deserves some notice because
of the brilliant audacity of the advertising
it contained. 1t purported to be an inter.
view with Nilsson, and description of her
financial sorrows, and of the insanity OF her
husband. In describing the latter however
the reporter dextrously introduced a puff
of the medical man who keeps the private
asylum to which the unfortunate specula.
tor has been conveyed. His name and
address were carefully given, and it was
incidentally remarked that his patients
had every luxury and comfort. The adj
vertisement, considering the number of
American journals it appeared in, could not
have been worth less than 10000 francs,
and we presume that the reporter made
500 francs by his bold trick. The practice
of surreptitious advertising by telegraph is
becoming far too general Another in
stance of it occurred yesterday. There
was shooting affray at Washington, and
the reporter took care to inform the coun-
try that Doctors Blank and Blank
cleaned over the PROSTATE form of the
wounded man, and paid him every at.
tention, and so forth. Now we are very
certain that the American public do not care
two straws for the names of these doctors,
and that if the latter want their names
to be advertised in this and similar cases,
they ought to be made to pay the regular
rates. For all we can tell, indeed, they
do pay for the puffs, but inasmuch as the
reporters do not pro-rate" with che
papers of the Associated Press, the latter
have a right to protest against SO one
sided practice. There is no reason why
people should not advertise by telegraph
if they wish to do so, but it is considered
in the newspaper business a sine qua non
that the journal in which the advertising
is done shall receive the compensation
therefor. In the present case if anyone
receives compensation it is not the journals
which do the work, and though we can
understand that this may be perfectly
charming arrangement for the adroit re-
porters who thus sell what does not belong
to them, it will evidently become neces-
sary to take measures for putting sum-
mary stop to the plan. We trust that as
piring reporters abroad and at news head
ouarters will reflect upon the situ alton as
here presented, and be wise in time.

sary to annex all the intermediate territory
to the United States. 1t is not here
stated what the Government on whose land
Mr.. Blaine proposes to build Notifications,
thinks of his declarations in this connec-
ton, but it is obvious that no person
has ever before undertaken to deal SO
cavalierly with the possessions and rights
OF an independent state as he has in this
case. Lord Granville, however, while con-
troverting Blaine's fippant and muddled
propositions, intimates that his Government
would have no objection to a Congress OF
the maritime powers, for the purpose OF
guaranteeing TIE neutrality of the isthmus
canal, and this appears to be the most
practical suggestion yet made. For it is
perfectly clear that the United States is
not warranted in assuming the sole control
or the sole interest in q canal which is to
be an avenue of communication for the
whole world. Great Britain, being the
chief maritime power on the globe, cannot
be ruled out in question of this kind, and
it would be the more absurd for us to at
tempt it, seeing that such a policy would
be strongly suggestive OF the programme
of the dog in the manger. Not having any
mercantile marine ourselves, we should ap-
pear to wish to interfere with the powers
which had many ships, and the same obser-
walton applies to our navy. As at present
constituted it is difficult to conceive under
what circumstances it would be necessary
for us to monopolize the use of the canal.
We might wish to close it against all
corners, but we have no vessels to send
through it ourselves. Mr.. Blaine's posi-
ton, however, would have justified the
English Foreign Office in concluding that
what he wanted was really something very
different from neutrality /; that in fact he
demanded the power to seize and hold the
canal as against the world. And that in
all probability was really the idea underly-
ing the now famous dispatch of last year,
though it is not likely that it will be ad-
hered to by his successor. The Convention
of maritime powers is the remedy which
viii appear most practicable to both coun-
tries, probably, and the result viii be the
naturalization of the canal, and that is as
much as any power has right to insist
upon. Then all will be placed upon the
same basis, and in the event of war the
canal will confer no special advantages
upon any.

Pitman certainly appears TO have had
the best of it in the committee the other
day, when he stated that Mrs. Sherman
as well as her husband had been coguizant
OF the employment of Treasury workmea
at her house. and when, on being ohal-
lenged for this statement, he produced
notes from Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman request
ing that such workmen be sent to the
house. or course it does not follow that
Pitman speaks the truth when he says that
the work on ShermAn's house was paid for

what has passed, the committee will be
compelled to make signal inquiry into the
circumstances, and it would have very
awkward look if Pitman's allegations
should after all be substantiated.

OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL.

A San Francisco paper which has under
taken the uphill task of defending Pro-
lection, gravely observes in recent article
that $50 far as the tariff is concerned, the
" farmers of the United States enjoy the
"greas bulk of the advantages. 1t is a
pity this journal did not proceed to demon
strate wherein the privileges of the
farmers consist. One of them, however,
occurs to US just now. Last year the
Pacific Railroads were compelled by this
tariff to pay sll. 100000 for steel rails,
which could have been purchased for half
the money but for that impos5. The result
was to make the producers pay s., 500,0 900
for the support of the American steel rail
mills. This isone of the advantages" the
tariff confers upon the farmers, besides
doubling the cost of all their agricultural
machinery and implements, and OF every.
thing they wear and use. The produce
they raise, however, has no protection,
but must stand the competition of the
world. Truly they ought to be grateful
for the "great bulk of advantages" they
enjoy under the tariff,

EccENTRICITIEs OF JURIEs.-A miller In
the southern part of France fell in love
with the cousin of his mistress. Both
women were possessed Of the secret that a
year or two before he had strangled man
and thrown him into the river. Each one
threatened to divulge it unless he chung to
her and put the other woman out Of the
way, so that very naturally he had hard
time of it. At last he determined to neu-
tralizs this disagreeable situation by set
ting one woman to murder the other. The
mistress strangled her cousin. but overcome
by remorse, accused the miller of killing
the man who was supposed to have com
mitted suicide, and of being an accessory
with her to her cousin s murder. The jury
acquitted him of the first charge, but found
him gu ity OF the second, which, under the
circumstances was curious verdict, be-
cause the motive Of his share in the muir
der of the woman was his far of being dis
covered az the murderer of the man. Ii he
was not the murderer of the man, as he
asserted, then there was no reason TO dis
believe his denial of any participation In
the second murder. But juries, even in
France, evidently have their eccentricities.

Halloween at Balmoral.
HOW IT WAS CELEBRATED BY ROYALTY
A STARTLING SPECTACLE.

Out of compliment to the Duchess of
Connaught, who was to leave Balmoral
the following day, the Queen gave in
structions for the annual Halloween
celebration at the castle to take place
on Monday night, October, 80, twenty
four hours before the true time of the
festival. About o'clock two hundred
torch bearers paraded on the lawn in
front of the castle, and arrived at the
huge stack of material for the bonfire,
which had been erected near the front
door. The torches were applied to the
pile, and then there appeared from the
news band of grotesque looking
spirits playing instruments, and pro-
ceeded by a majestic-looking demon,
who was followed by four demons,
bearing chair on which was seated a
witch, who was taken from the chair
and pitched into the flames, amid the
shrieks and howls of spectators. A
limited supply of the national beverage
was then distributed, and dancing was
begun and kept up for some time to
the strains of Ross, the piper. The
healths of the Queen, the Princess
Beatrice and the Duchess of Connaught
were pledged and heartily drunk, and
the singing of the national anthem
brought the proceedings to close.
The Queen, the Duchess of Connaught
and the princess Beatrice, with Sir
Garnet Worseley, remained till the ter
mination of the sport.-Ne'o York

Freethinker.

The word Freethinker, though not
bad in itself, has been badly supplied.
1t has been assumed by those who dis
card revelation and scout all fear or
belief of God. In this the votaries of
Robert Ingersoll follow the disciples of
Voltaire. Just why men of this class
should regard themselves as freethink-
ers, above all others, is not clear. The
assumption that man who disbelieves
revelation is more free from prejudice,
or more free in any mental process,
than he who believes it, does not bear
examination. The arguments which
overcome unbelief in some leave the
mind just as untrammeled as those
which overcome unbelief in others
Many who now believe in God and in
the Bible once disbelieved, but the ar.
guments which overcame their unbelief
have left their thoughts as free and as
active as they were before; they have
no more interfered with freethinking
than did their intidelity, when it con
trolled or influenced their minds. Pos
sibly, as they are no longer the slaves
of erroneous opinions and dogmas
which gives loose reign to the depraved
heart and taste, their thinking is more
free than it was before. At all events,
to claim that persons thinking is
more free because he rejects Christian
ity than is his who accepts it, is most
ridiculous and unwarranted assumption,
We think it would not be a difficult
task to show that the men whose minds
are the freest to think are the religious
thinkers of the day, and that these dc
both the hardest and the deepest think
ing. Yet men and women who have
hardly begun to think meet in conven
tion and claim a monopoly of free
thinking; assuming that they are more
free in disbelieviug than Christians ar,
in believing the very truth that make,
them free. On the whole, we thinl
the skeptic's use of the word in ques
tion, as Lacon suggested, implies il
their case, not freethinking, but free
dom from thinking Christian Herald
