London respecting the imprisonment of Amer

The case of insolvency and Hart are es-

Lowell does not believe that either of the
two is more innocent than the majority of per-
sons who have been arrested.
In answer to the departments instruction
to waive for the present all discussions of the
Iustlhableness of these arbitrary imprson-
ments, but to press tor the early trials of the
various American suspects, Mr. Lowell states

So, AFTER all, the rumpus that Gen,
SkobelolI made by his Paris speech
was not his own affair. 1t was a put
up job of lgnaticfT, who remarked to a
friend on the day of the evening of the
speech that Skobclo0f would make
some remark that would produce a
great sensation. He did tin fact a
whole flock of sensations; and they are
flying all over Europe yet, and lighting
everywhere. The holes and crevices
of all the European nations are run
ming over with sensations. And the
fighting man of Plevna and Loch-Tepe
wonders what is the matter, and what
has caused the row. But Ignatieff UNI
derstands it.
The New York Star sends out a
column article about the prize fighter
Sullivan and his offer to fight any man
in America for $4,000, for which the
New York Star is no doubt paid. But
respectable papers, and among them
the New Orleans Times democrat,
promptly copy it, and send it into de-
cent families, for which they are not
paid. This sort of reading is not only
revolving on account of its coarseness
and the low mental level of the talk
which 1t rcCtes, and Of which it chiefly
consists, but it demoralizcs hal(-grown
boys with its bragadocla, its betting
vaunts, and plants the lowest instincts
IN youthful, emotional minds. 1t is
such notice of respectable journals that
keeps us in presence of this lowest in
tegcr of social life and perpetuates the
brutal practice ofpugilism.
THERE is no doubt that the sentence
Of Sergeant Mason, of eight years i'm
prisonment and ignominious dismissal
from the army, is one of altogether too
much severity. There are strong rea-
sons for his pardon, which the presi-
dent should consider. He was carried
away by the popular feeling, stirred by
the most heinOus crime of the century.
The object he fired at he did not see and
could not have struck but by chance.
The offence loses its character as such.
in view of the impulse that caused it.
He should have lrrn delivered to civil
authority for tra:, when he would not
have been convicted. An act, though
wrong, impellcd by patriotic motive,
should be forgiven when harmless. 1t
is motive that constitutes an act
crime. There are many instances of
actual homicide under circumstances.
of less mitigation, in which the sem
fences have been far lighter. 1t is to
be hoped that the president will
promptly pardon him.

than otherwise would be necessary. These
officers were particularly kind, and assured
me all that can done was now being done, and
that would be aided as much as possible in
all matters. To-day Gen. Ignatietf sent special
passes, and the photographic office has
supplied me with charts and books
which could get at no other place
Baron Ostensacken has also given me much
aid. would especially call the attention Of

unless Chipp's fate is decided before spring I
had better take the Lena. II So, Danenhau-

eminently good one, for men of intelligence,
who could be of no use on board ship, are in

men are now entirely well, and anxious to re-
main and assist. From Tomsk will cable
news and ask instructions. will set out for
