IT WILD SHOW UP IN A BAD LIGHT.
Boston Traveller

1t is reported that ever since the last treaty
with China was ratified the Chinese legation
at Washington has made careful record of
all the outrages perpetrated on the Chinese
in this country and that this record is sup
ported by affidavits and evidence which win
furnish positive proof of the wrongs alleged;
that the object of this record is to have some
thing at hand to offer at some future day in
eeX S OF similar acts by the CITIZENS OF
pire. The story may be accepted for what it
is worth, but it certainly bears internal evil
dences of probability and truth

The Autobiography League of New York
State has adopted resolution condemning
the civil service reform law As that law

The kidnapping of Brainerd, the st. AL
bans bank defaulter, will probably become
the subject of diplomatic correspondence be-
tween this country and Great Britain The
United States apparently has no case what
ever, and if England demands Brainerd's sur
render our government will have to yield.
One report says that England has decided to
ignore the matter, but that is not John Bulls
usual way of doing things, and we may be
pretty sure that it will not be his way in this

The Warner plan of getting rid of the IS
cent dollar is compromise which is expect
ed to catch the votes of the bonanza men. 1t
provides that the Treasury shall buy all the
silver bullion offered it at market rates and
issue silver certificates founded upon it. Its
chief merit, indeed its only one, is that it
stops the coinage of the Bland dollar If the
choice comes between its adoption and the
retention of the present law it had better be
adopted, but it is by no means the ideal
measure

A recent burst of confidence on the part of
a Chicago Socialist is worth noting. On last
Sunday at an open air meeting one of them
frankly termed himself and his associates
''the cutthroats of society,"" and then proceed
ed to intimate that they were not the oppo-
nents ofcapital on the contrary they were 50
fond of capital that they proposed to murder
its present holders for the sake of possessing
it themselves. 1t was a very remarkable
speech for Socialist, for the very reason
that it contained considerable amount of

Senator Sherman appears not to have been
seriously dismayed by the criticism of the
Mugwump and Democratic press upon his
opening speech in Ohio. He still persists in
calling attention to the fact that the colored
vote of the South is habtually suppressed,
and that in this way the Southern white has
acquired political power that does not belong
to him. Mr.. Sherman is of the opinion that
agitation should not cease until this state of
affairs is corrected.

The refusal of Sir Richard Sutton of the
Genesta to take advantage of the Puritan's
foul, which he might have done with perfect
propriety under the rules, was a piece of
magnanimity for which the Englishman is

some consolation to know that it will go into
hands which refused it until it was fair

DR.. Watson, Secretary of the New Hamp-

tells Boston Globe reporter that the situa-

very great that the disease will be brought
freely into the States unless active measures
OF prevention are speedily inaugurated by the
general government. The epidemic is still
spreading, if not in Montreal itself, at least
in the adjacent municipalities. Up to Sep

by reminding the Secretary that if he was
going to draw the line on spelling he would

DE. SrlApN has written an article TO
the Medical Record concerning General
Grants disease, in which he says "'rhe
cause Of the disease in this case is large
ly conjectural. Epithelioma, as n rule.
starts from local irritation, and, unlike
other forms OF cancer, Is not dependent
upon hereditary predisposition to the
disease. There must, however, aside
from this, be latent tendency toward
cancerous troubles, which is more pro-
nounced in some individuals than in
others, otherwise we should be unable
to explain why simple and continued ir-
ritation would induce the disease in one
case and not in another. 1t is, however,
quite probable that the irritation of
smoking was the active cause OF the can
Ger in General Grants case, or, at least,
1t is fair to presume that he would not
nave had the disease If this habit had
not been carried to excess. This as
sumption is made In the face Of the fact
that OF the thousands who smoke but a
very small proportion suffer from the
discase."
