THE fanatic Freeman, who i'm fit of reli-
gious frenzy, murdered his little girl at Po-
casset Mass, four years ago, and was subse-
quently committed to an insane asylum, is
recollection of the crime, and thinks the
devil must have inspired it, If he is sane, he
ought to realize, in addition to the horror OF
having murdered his own babe, that it is
impious to so distort the message of Heaven
to make it the instigator of such deeds.
Common sense in these later days is what
mankind needs. Leave inspiration" to the
very few called OF God

with interest 1t is step away from the
worse than absurd position of free whisky,
in which Ohio has been kept for a period
of thirty years by falsely-assumed ''tem-
perance" sentiment. Unquestionably the
law will be attacked in the courts, but if it is
upheld, as its promoters think it will be,
there will be the opportunity to try the
value of both taxation and local option-for
the two principles are recognized in tin a
State where urban and rural conditions
alike exist, and where the efficacy of these
different systems of regulation can be fairly
tested

AT the late session of the New Orleans
Presbytery of the Synod of Mississippi
Presbyterian church, the question of mar
rage with the sister of a deceased wife was
considered. The matter came up in the
General Assembly to the Presby terry for ac-
ton. After lengthy discussion, report
declaring such marriages not in violation of
dissenting vote being recorded.

A PITIABLE FALsEHooD.

The American farmer and the working
men in America ought to be the happiest and
the most prosperous labOrers imaginable
Here is a rich soil, millions of acres unoccu-
pied, free government, no standing army,
free education, no nobility, no laws of pr-
mogeniture, and yet we are, as a rule, little
better off than the downtrodden masses OF
England. "-Louisville Courier-Journal.
Are free-trade papers driven to such straits
as this? Must they resort to such palpable
distortions of the truth? Ii no man ever
went from America to England, and no ac-
count was ever received from that part of
the world, the above statement would fall to
pieces before the fact that tens of thousands
of British subjects annually leave home to
find better homes in America. Did any body
ever hear of workingman or farmer leaving
America to find employment in England?
1t need not be denied that there are many
instances of deprivation and distress among
the laborers and farmers of America. HUI
man imperfection precludes the possibility
of an earthly paradise. That nation never ex-
isted and never will exist, under the
and in which the strong failed to take advan-
tage of the weak. Until the nAllenium shall
dawn the best that can be done is to restrain
the wrong and foster the right, and the fight
against the former will have to be kept up
even to the end. But to say that the work
ing classes of America are but little better
off than the down trodden masses of Eng
land is simply to stultify ones self in the
face OF indisputable evidence to the contrary.
can farmers and workingmen are better
clothed, better fed, better housed and
Weather than are the same classes in
any other country in the world. A
large per cent. of American farmers
live on their own farms, and very great
portion of the workingmen occupy their
own residences This cannot be said of the
corresponding classes in England. Let this
desirable state of affairs in America be
ascribed to what it may, it is folly to deny it,.
1t is worse than folly, in that it creates a
false impression, spreads dissatisfaction and
incites labor troubles. In every branch of
industry the American people are growing
wealthy more rapidly than are the people of
any other country in the world. The ques-
ton soon to be faced is whether this condi-
ton shall continue, or shall the pet theories
of free-Irade doctr;naires endanger it all.

IT is fact of New York city that while it
is rapidly increasing in population, the death
rate there exceeds the birth rate. The in
crease of population comes from immigra-
ton. In the city of Paris, which is growing
rapidly also, having a population of 2,239.
92S according to the census of 1881, the birth
rate exceeds the death rate by considerable
per cent. The births there last year num-
bered 62, $50, the deaths S. 702. There were
81, 3o7 marriages. OF the deaths over one
half belong to two classes. There were II, All
deaths among children under five years of
age, and IL oil adults died of consumption.

Rumored Sale of the Chicago Tribune.

Philadelphia Press.
IS. NJ" in the Star speaks of the possible
transfer of the ownership of the Chicago
tribune 1t is such a splendid property that
1t seems scarcely possible that Mr. Medill
can be seriously contemplating such thing.
A year or two ago a gentleman laid upon
MedilPs desk check for 81, 900, 900 and the
temptation was resisted, partly because he
was not ready to retire and partly because
the check bore signature almost synonym
Gus with Jay Gould's The present rumor,
no doubt arises from the fact that the
Tribune has been losing some of its best men
lately Sam Medill, the managing editor, in
some respects the brightest of Western jour
nalists, went the way of all managing editors
died of consumption and a general wasting
of his physical system. Tad Cowles, his
rlsht-hand man and night editor, has re-
signed to become the editor and part owner
OF new weekly journal called American
Sports, and has taken the telegraph editor,
Mr. J. r. Small, with him as his first lieuten-
ant The present managing editor is Mr.. R.
w. Patterson, bright Yale graduate, who
has served an appren ticeship as a Washing
ton correspondent and telegraph editor, and
has the additional advantage of being the
son-in-law of Mr.. Joseph Medill. If the
paper is really to be sold, Patterson could
easily organize syndicate to buy it.

THE Moniteur-scientifqu is authority for the
statement that the composition of elephants
milk is similar to that of cream. The Moniteur
is safe In saying this, for among the great masses
of the public few would feel prepared to dis
prove the assertion This comparing two I'M
known quantities qualities is very discourag-
ing The Moniteur might as well have said that
cream was like elephants milk. How is one TO
secure a barrel of elephants milk to find what
cream ia like2 Many Will doubtless make
the attempt to inform themselves as to cream,
and in the event of success, mystery of long
standing will be solved.

The Terrible German Professor.

A German professor has calculated ard
finds that this is the year 1888 instead of
1888. This is unpleasant for ladies who think
they are only thirty. 1t is the German pro-
fessor who finds out once in seven years that
this earthly ball of ours is cooling OF and
will ultimately become lump of ice, And
seven years after another German professor
finds that it is getting a few inches nearer
the sun at every turn, and will at last fall
into it and shriYel up like biz of cotton.

Talk Like Men and Loyal Republicans.

So Jar the prominent Indanians who had
been rather fornenst Gresham interview"
we'll about his appointment Tom Browne,
Colonel Dudley and John G. New talk like
good men and loyal Republicans. They do
not seem disposed to hunt back room and
organize a bobtail ticket because they can't
control all the appointments of the party.
Nor are they aching for an excuse to turn
Democratic. This shows that they are
worthy of the consideration shown them by
the Republican party.
