CREMATION

How to dispose of the dead is a subject
which is receiving considerable attention in
European countries just now. and the will
body shall be burned, has revived discussion
upon the merits of cremation as compared
with burial. Burning the dead is not popu-
lar anywhere. On the contrary, there is
widespread and deep-lNid prejudice against
cremation Hitherto it has been worse than
useless to advocate cremation. The verdict
is that the speedy reduction of dead bodies
to dust by fire smalIs of heathenism.
and is unworthy of liberation in
Christian countries. But upon investiga-
ton it is found that reason and science COM
bine that it. is better for the living that
the dead should be cremated rather than
inferred, and since the speedy reduction of
dead bodies to dust from a sanitary point of
view is better than the slow process of cor
ruption and decomposition, society is likely
to modify its objections, and this is all the
more probable. since. whether the process
be rapid or slow, it can have no possible
effect upon the future Of the dead. In the
process of cremating we obtain dust with
out danger to the health of the living,
while by burial we obtain dust
by process which endangers the lives of
those who live in close proximity to ceme-
teries. 1t should be remembered that the
Immortality of the soul has nothing to do
with the subject, nor yet the resurrection of
the body. Such topics are not necessarily
involved, and to lug them in is to obscure
the vital question of the relation of inter
ments Of the dead to the welfare of the liv-
ing. Europe has population of about

immense sum now locked up and idle is

Mr.. Rufus Hatch said, some weeks ago,
that Mr.. William II. Vanderbilt and Mr.
Jay Gould walk about the city of New York
with body guards. Cranks have their eyes
upon them. Why this state of things in the
land of the free and the home of the brave?
The answer is that these two illustrious
Americans are gathering in more sheckels
than the aforesaid cranks believe is their
fair share, and that they are employing
methods and machinery to accomplish their
designs which, all things considered, are
peculiar to knights of the jimmy. These
cranks are seeking for opportunities to ply
their VOCATION and if they succeed two re-
suits will follow, in their opinion. First,
the colossal fortunes of two millionaires will
tumble to pieces and be distributed; and
second, two millionaires will be placed
where they can not water stocks, create cor
ners and otherwise disturb business. Just
now, however, attention is particularly di-
rected to Mr.. Jay Gould. He is the target
for all sorts of attacks. He began life with
one little mouse trap. He has multi

written up and down in the newspapers, but

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Miss Chevalller.
Of Boston, Secretary of the National Society
for the Protection of the Insane. accom-
panied by DR.. George NJ. Beard, of New
York; DR.. w. w. Gottling, Superintendent
of the Government Hospital for the Insane.
and Rev. w. w. Hicks, pastor of the Taber-
nacle, and VINO is now acting as Guiteau's
spiritual adviser, had an interview with the
President this afternoon by special appoint
ment, and presented a petition praying for
a reprieve in the case of Guiteau, and for
the creation of a scientific commission to
determine upon the sanity or insanity of
the Condemned man. The petition is
signed by number of medical experts
who state their conviction that Guiteau is
insane, and urge the propriety of such COM
mission. The Committee are now, at
p. M, with the President, who was not
able to receive them until a few minutes
before 2. They waited in the Presidents
library from about noon.
Drs. Beard end Golding advanced argu-
ments in support of the petition. One of
the points made by Dr. Beard was that Gui-
teau really had no trial, the so-called trial
being merely an exhibition. He said il was
the strongest case of insanity ever before
Court, and was lost only through the in
competency of Scovill, which was as phe-
nomenal as the insanity of his client The
President listened patiently, and taking the
papers said they would be considered. They
will be referred to the Attorney General for
report. All other papers previously received
bearing on this case have been similarly re-

While the great appropriation bills are
under consideration it is interesting to watch
Holman. Though he is not a member of
the Committee, and is therefore placed at a
great disadvantage, yet it is probable that no
member of the House is so thoroughly in
formed respecting every item for which ap-
preparations are asked. He sits there
keenly watching every line. Woe be
to it If il exceeds an amount in
his view excessive. He knows the why and
wherefore of every appropriation, and this
of itself is about as marvellous an accom-
plishment as it would be to repeat a book of
Homer backward. If an appropriation ex-
ceeds the amount asked for in former years,
Holman must no why, and no specious or
plausible explanation deceiyes him. 1t is a
pity that he has such poor command of Ian
guage and such weakness of voice.
But, spite of his physical disabilities,
he is feared, and as he rises,
swinging his big-boweo spectecles, the APP
preparation Committee give HIM close heed,
and are not easy until he is overruled by
the Chair or voted down by the House. In
every one of the bills thus far acted on, the
effect of Holman's sharp eye and convinc-
ing speech is to be seen. Holman is not
niggardly. He believes IN just appropria-
ton. He, however, believes that much of
the evil of the civil service is due to extrava-
CANT appropriation, and that the service is
better performed when it is done economi-
