Just what it means in this case is not
clear. It is certain enough, however,
that the Suez Canal will either be
widened or duplicated before long. In
its present state it is entirely inadequate
to the traffic through it; it is becoming
more and more so, and though there is
little likelihood of any serious attempt
to realize Chinese Gordon's vision of
waterway through Palestine by the sub
mersion of the Jordan Valley, there
might easily enough be an earnest pur-
pose to carry out another scheme that
has been good deal talked about-the
building of ship railway from the
Mediterranean over the level, sandy
plains of northwestern Arabia to the
Gulf of Akabah. That is rivalry which
De Lesseps is not likely to hasten by
his own over-long delay.

The verdict in the "Mignonette" case

The verdict in the "Mignonette" case
must be accepted, we suppose, as set
thing the question: question never be-
fore directly passed upon by a legal
tribunal, we believe-that the killing
of fellow-bein as the only means of saw

ing starvation is nothing but murder
in the first degree. One man may
lawfully STAY another when that other is
trying to kill him, or even when he
has fair reason to believe that his life is
in danger at that others hands; but
if the two are about to perish of famine
or other stress of suffering and one pre-
serves his life by sacrificing the other
he must hang for it. The distinction is
a very close and interesting one, and is
calculated to emphasize the boast so
often made at bar dinners that the law

The supreme court of Michigan has
decided that landlord was repons e
for the value of peddler's pack lost at
his hotel. The landlord proved that
the peddler was drunk, for the purpose
of showing that the loss of the pack
was caused by his own contributory
negligence. But it was proved, on the
other hand, that the liquor on which
the peddler got drunk was bought and
drunk at the landlords bar, and the
court said that, if any doubt had existed
otherwise under the law as to the land
lords responsibility, that settled it; for
he was certainly liable for the value of
the pack if he got the peddler SO drunk
as to be unable to look after the prop
erty.

ACCORDING to the reports of the four
National Homes for disabled soldiers, it
is certainly desirable that the fifth one,
recently located at Leavenworth, kas,
be hurried forward as rapidly possible.
There are now 1850 persons in said
institutions, and not a single vacant
bed is left, while the applications for
admission are constantly increasing
This system of caring for the crippled
and helpless veterans of the war is an
admirable one and great credit to the
country, ard no pains should be spared
to make its benefits equal in every way
to the necessities of the case.

A Letter FROM BLAINE.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 16.-Following is

ing them to dismiss the libel case
against the Sentinel. of this city:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 10. 1SS4-Nessrs. Hny
rason, M9Eder d. htam, CounseJIors-at Law-GEN-
TLEMEN: When requested you in August last to
bring suit against the publishers of the Indian
apolis Sentinel, for libel, l did so in the heller
that the wrong done me by that paper, being en-
tirely of personal ard domestic Character eonId
be fairly tried without undue influence from no.
litical considerations. l confess was profoundly
amazed to find the matter at once taken nm and
thellbel reproduced with all possible exaggeratioo
in every Democratic paper in Indiana Except
from three members of the Democratic party of
that state, never heard that word of dissent
or disapproval was spoken while the great mass
of Democratic speakers repeated the libel from
every stump in Indiana, with yituperative rancor
with gibe and ribald Jest. It was thus made 80
far any matter of the kind be made. an
issue in an exciting political campaign, and the
Democrats of the state were thoroughly poisoned
in their minds in regard to the question to be de-
cided at law. Under such conditions it is simply
impossible that can have a fair trial. or that /
can expect any other result than that which in
formally attends political libel suit growing out
OF an exciting campaign in this country If l
were unfair enough to desire q jury composed of
my own partieans, | could not have it. proper

of members of both political parties in about

political suit would give verdict against their

convey an imputation upon their personal integ
rity as citizens, but simply that the binding of
party prejudice would utterly prevent an impair
tial consideration of evidence submitted. 1 am
perfectly able to fight the Sentinel newspaper
in an Indiana court, but would stand no chance
whatever against the consolidated venom of the
Democratic party of the state. With these sur
roundings and with this prospect, it is idle for

I'D hyyt h1.E of

which induced me to believe the prosecution of

The fact is noted that improvements
recently made will go far to cheaper the
production of electricity. These have
reference at once to the cheapening of
apparatus, and to lessening the amount
of power required to develop given
amount of current; they are important,
inasmuch as they will greatly widen the
field in which electricity may be
economically used, whether for il1umin-
alton, for the power, or for the many
devices depending upon it for their
operations.

Moore the weapon did not explode.
Moore then fired, the ball penetrating
Hanna's clothing and glanced off the
clavicle. Moore also knocked Hanna
down and struck him on the head sew
eral times with the end of his revolver,
causing several painful flesh wounds.
The other rate-payers made a rapid exit
when they saw the weapons being flour
ished. Both parties are somewhat to
blame, as they are always quarreling.
The parties interested in the melee had
hearing before Justice Burss, when
the trial was postponed for ten days.
Hanna is badly cut up, but his wounds
are not of very serious character.
