A Dangerous Mouth.

Gov. Crittenden of Missouri recently de-
clared with great vehemence Of expression
that if it was decided that the Downing law
did not apply to the city OF st. Louis he
would call an extra session of the Legisla-
ture and close up every liquor shop in that
thirsty State. The Governors resolution
was noble one, but we fear that it will new
er be carried out The ground of this fear
Is paragraph in the Kansas City Journal
In which the statement is made that one
member of that Legislature, a man named
Aoran,is the owner of mouth twenty-seven
inches in width. We have reason to believe
that the governor of Missouri is gentleman
not easily moved from his purpose. He is
the executive of State which has been pro-
iac in men of great daring, one of the most
famous of whom has just been holding
leyee in the Gallatin room. If current re-
port be true the Governor has enjoyed
somewhat intimate acquaintance with these
naturally be the case, been inspired with
their daredevil courage and resolution.
But up to this moment Gov Crittenden
has never been brought face to face with
such danger as now threatens him and his
State. A twenty-seveu inch mouth and that
belonging to a Democrat, for Moran is a
Democrat! There are plenty of instances to
show that Democrat with an ordinary
mouth, is no mean danger. The State of
Pennsylvania is $500, 600 poorer than it was
few months ago because Gov. Pattison al
lowed the Democratic mouth to open, and
the end 10 by no means yet. One of the
causes of the present sickness of the Democ
racy of Ohio is the frequency with which
Judge Hoadiy has opened his mouth, and
in Iowa the same unfortunate habit has very
Kiune. Gen. Hancock too developed fatal
facility for opening his mouth in 1880, and
four years before that it was the irrepressi-
Bile tendency of the Democratic Springer 10
wag his jaws and shrek for an investigation
that revealed the trickery that the Sage of
Grammercy Park had practiced in Oregon.
Bat none of these Democrats had mouths
twenty-seyen inches in width. Their mouths
were of commonplace dimensions and yet
the opening of them was always prolific of
disaster. Conceive the responsibility then,
of man placed in the position of the Gov
ernor Of Missouri who is compelled to decide
between the violation of his word and the
opening of mouth twenty-seven inches in
width with lungs to match. Gov. Crittenden
may we'll stand appalled, in the presence of
the situation. But there is one way and only
one out of his dilemma The Governor is
seeking the suppression of the rum
traffic. Prohibitory legislation he can
not get without risking tornado from
Moran's chest. Let him abandon his idea
of special session aud avail himself of the
Moran mouth, not as means of escape for
the wind in Moran's lungs but as an avenue
to Moran's stomach. In other words let him
turn Moran loose in st. Louis, with instruct
ions to drink up all the stimulating liquids
in that wicked city, and he will speedily find
twenty-seven inch Democratic mouth to
be much more effective in cutting off the
rum supply than the Downing law.

Daughter of Sir Samuel Baker
LONDON, July 2s.-Ellen Baker, the ac-
complished daughter OF Sir Samuel Baker,
the explorer committed suicide to-day at
her fathers residence at Newton Abbey,
Devonshire. The young lady had joined the
order of Sisters of Mercy, and so overtaxed
her strength in ministering to the poor in
London that her health broE0 down and her
mind gave way. 1t is remarkable that so
delicate, weak and sensitive a young lady
should have first attempted to destroy her
life by opening the veins of her arms with
the blade OF pair of scissors, and that, fail
ing in this, she should have struggled across
the hoor dripping with blood, to the mirror,
and there, by its assistance, should with
pen-knife have cut her throat from ear to
ear, and then, impatient at the slow ap-
proach of death, have disemboweled herself
with japanese sword. A tendency to sui
cidal mania has existed in the family an
uncle of the unfortunate Ellen having not
long ago taken his own life.

PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED.


ROCHESTER, N. Y, July 2S.-News was re-

disaster on the Rome, Watertown & Ogdens-
burg railroad, near Carlton, last night. As a
Thousand Island train, which was running at
high speed on the main line, neared Carlton,
the engineer noticed a single car standing on
the track ahead of him. He at once put on
the air-brakes and reversed the lever of his
engine, but before the speed of the train
could be stopped the engine dashed into the
obstruction. and in an instant all was
scene of wreckage and confusion, and the
air was filled with the groans Of the dying
and the injured. The engineer, who hero
ically remained at his post, was fatally in

The train left Niagara Falls with about $50
