THE mendacity of Republican journals
does not seem TO be confined TO campaign
work. So used have they become, apparently
to state the thing that is not, that they have
acquired a cast-iron habit of fabrication.
Among the late installments of stupid aud
senseless falsehoods is the allegation that an
angry row occurred between John K. Nc
Lean, Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and Mr.
Cleveland, when the former lately called
upon the latter. What party utility or signifi-
canoe this sheer fabrication can have is not
easily discernible. These are the facts,
namely: Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean. pursuant
to previous arrangement. visited Gov Cleve-
land at the executive mansion in Albany,
and spent two hours very pleasantly with the
Governor and his sisters. During a portion
of the time Gov. Cleveland and Mr.. Nc
Lean were in private conference, frankly
exchanging views and opinions, but in en-
tire good feeling and cordiality. Without
discussing what was said by these gentlemen
at their interview the Brooklyn Eagle author
itatively states that 'ATr. Mclean not ONLY
did not request the appointment Of anybody,
but explicitly declared, that on no account
would he do anything Of the kind at any
time. The visit was one of pleasure and
profit to both gentlemen, aud those who
think they should represent it to have been
marked or marred by rudeness, division OF
view or collision of feeling not only give Mr.
Cleveland cause Of offense, but err in meas
uriug his sense of courtesy and his habit of
civillty-by their own want OF either quality"

By becoming a candidate for Senator Mr..

the late Secretary Folger in 1882, declining

yass then pending. In that letter Mr. Ev-
arts went so far us to say that he thought
Arthur's administration ought 10 be rebuked
through the defeat Of Folger as candidate for
Governor Of New York. Eyarts hated Arthur
then when he was fresh from the cabinet OF the
Fraud who kicked Arthur out OF the New
York custom house, for no cause whatever,
and having misused him, all that gang hated
him. The letter is having a damaging effect
on Evarts, and those who ought 10 know say
it will destroy whatever chances be NAV have
had of being chosen Senator. Eyarts has al
ways been doing fool things in politics,
though he has always been craving and
craven Office seeker Twenty-three years
ago Evarts was a candidate for Senator and
his opponent was Horace Greeley. For
Greeley the crest hater never had any re-
spect and the fight was made so bitter that
both were dropped, and new man chosen.
The people Of New York are so much used to
dropping Evarts, that they can sponge him
out this time without compunction. Old Bill
may as well put up the shutters of his shop.

deserved; but merely bit my lip and yield cd. Personally despise and am willing to violate such false popular sentiment; but when such violation was made the price of friendship I had no way but to acquiesce, for 8 person will associate with almost any de- cent human being when travelling rather than go solitary. My companion was scarcely in moderate circumstances and no doubt he condemned the existing state of things, but he was well known and would have to permit himself to be thus tyrannized over by the convsntionslities CT else lose his influence.
 At another time here in Canton, where this tyranny is less prominent, I was going from one house to another, and had little parcel to carry which weighed about five pounds. The lady of the house from which [ started offered me her servant to go along and carry the parcel. I hastily declined, but the lady, who was an American, kindly in- sisted, saying: q am sure you would not have 8 welcome if you carried the article personally" So I again bit my lip and con- sented. But all the way I hung my head, feeling cheap and humiliated at the i.-puta- tion of helplessness which felt was con- tained in the employment of 8 servant to perform so small a service. I tried to get the boy to walk at my side, but he had evi,
 iently been trained, like all the coolies here, to take up his position ignominiously in the rear of procession, and it was of no use.
 Saddest of all is the backsliding of some of the few Americans here. Doubtless they think that as long as business interests de- mand that they live in the colony, they may as well conform themselves to the people and their ways but maintain that it is possible for them to command influence among all worthy people and still retain their national individuality. Alas, some of them have backslided wofully, which, to one just fresh from home, and with the love of home insti- tutions still warm within him, may be more noticeable than the backsliders themselves imagine.

What Some of the SSuth Haveners Think
 About the Lifeboat Question,
 To the Editor Cf the JOURNAL AND CoURIHR:
 With all due regard to Mir. Thrashsr's com petence, to his ideas and to those of his many friends regarding lfeboats and steam life launches, the residents living in the vi- einity of the recent wreck beg to differ in their views. Our experience shows conclu- sively that hfeboats and hfe-saving apparatus to be of practical use must not be kept five miles from the most dangerous part of the coast. but on the spot. All these sail OTIS were saved in rowboats called yawls, thus demonstrating the fact that had there been a suitable boat at the old light house as early as 8 g.. nn. on the day of the wreck these men could have been rescued with comparatively little suffering. The old light is so situated as to command view of the coast for miles, and one man stationed there with boats crew made up of residents living near could muster his forces before werd could reach the city, especially if, as on last Friday, communication was cut of. neeessitating sending man to New Haven for help.

Dr. Edward E. Love, State chemist, has pleased the bogus butter makers and sellers of New York by declaring before the senate investigating committee that if he had to choose between oleomsrRarins and poor dairy butter he should take the former. It was difficult, he said, to distinguish oleomar- gsrine from butterins simply by appearance, and it wss equally difficult for any but an ex- pert to tell either of them from pure butter
 In the samples Dr. Love analysed he found nothing rancid, no evidence of nitric acid, and he could see nothing injurious in the ar ticle if pure ingredients were used in making it. The fat in it was no more difficult to di- gsst than fat in any other forms, and the wit ness had no authenticated evidence of any person being made sick from it's use. One of the manufacturers wanted to know whether it would not be better to sell the stuff as ''ar- tificial" or ''imitation'' butter than as 'oleo- margarine, /" 8 name which has become "a stench in the nostrils of the public" Hc thought the time had come when manufac- tured butter could be sold on its merits Dr. Love did not think it would make any differ ence under what name it was sold, so long as the public knew what they wore buying. And, in his opinion, the manufacturers should be compelled to make known to the State Board of Health it's component parts.

Judges who desire to rule according to a strict construction of the law have no easy time of it in Bavaria. There are no less than seven different codes in force in that country, namely, the Bavarian code, apply ing to 2, 100, 900 inhabitants of the kingdom; the French code Gin the Paiatinate) applying to 641, ,25O; the sovereign laws of the Bishop rio of Wurzburg to 45o. 900; the prsrogatory code of the principality of Bayrsuth to 32l,- GOO; the Austrian code (Rsdwitz in Upper Franeonia) to 2, 600; the Solms statutes to as few as 200, and finally the Coburg code applying to only 100 inhabitants. To make nstters still worse, the different districts are far from being defined, and lapse into one another in Q most complicated fashion; their boundaries in some instances being so sharply drawn that one-half of one house is under one and the other under another code. A complete list of all the codes in force through out Germany would be pretty long and highly interesting document.

The results of the investigations of the Cholera commission in India are interesting. In Egypt Dr. Koch and his assistants thought they had discovered the parasite productive of the cholera, but they concluded to contin- ue their studies beyond doubt. They now report that they have found this specific germ in every case of cholera, living or dead, which they studied They also uniformly failed to discover this germ in cases of other diseases or in any animal or substances abounding in bacteria. They have 'fculti- vated" these germs, and they are able to dis tinguish them from others very similar. It only remains for them to produce the disease by the use of the specific germs which they allege to be its cause.

His servant handed him 8 case, from which he took large portraits of himself and medals with descriptions of his pencils, which he hung on either side of him. He then re- placed his round hat with a magnificent burnished helmet, mounted with brilliant plumes. For his overcoat he donned costly velvet tunic with gold fringes. He then drew pair of polished steel gauntlets upon his hands, covered his breast with brilliant cuirass, and placed richly mounted sword at his siis. His servant then put on velvet robe and helmet, and struck up tune on an organ mounted in gold.
