DYNAMITE OUTRAGE THEORIES.
The Chief of the New York Detective

PARIS, Jan. 24.-The news of the dynamite ex-

anxious inquiries after the latest de

are constantly surrounded. Lord Lyons could
not be seen this evening, but as far as could be

slightly; at the Parliament building, four seri-
ously and ten lightly. The worst injuries re.
ceived are by COnstables Cox aud Cole, and civil
engineer named Edwin Green, visiting the Par
lament buildings. Over one hundred visitors
were in the House of Commons when the explo
sion occurred in Westminster Hall. Most OF them
rushed out of the building, and thus many lives
were saved.
The news OF the introduction in Congress of a
bill, by Senator Edmunds, to prevent and punish
dynamite conspiracies in the United States has
bad splendid effect in turning aside the bitter
ness OF feeling against America which has been
engendered by the explosions.

hSPINWALL.

Recent events at Aspinwall bring the
Monroe doctrine prominently to the front.
The Government of the United States of
Colombia is a weak affair, and that of the
State of Panama weaker still The petty
States are unable to protect themselves
against each other, or from the raids OF
any robber insurgent who can back his
professions by gang of half hundred
outlaws. There are large foreign interests
upon the isthmus. France and Amer
lea are most largely concerned. Both
countries will certainly hasten to the re-
lief of their citizens. The question pre-
sents itself, therefore, whether we shall per
nit any strong foreign power, under any
pretext, to get military foothold upon this
strip of the footstool. Thus far citizens of
the United States have been very con-
temptuously treated in Colombia and other
contiguous States, because those insig-
us. Other nations have commanded their
respect by display of strength. We have
had none to parade. Our navy has been a
laughing stock for them, and our demands
for decent treatment of our citizens have
been 50 contemptuously received that out
ward and apparent courtesy has not con-
cealed the real sentiments of the sun
burned Isthmians concerning U.s. The
time has come when we must secure their
respect, if need be with shotted guns, pre-
cisely as Germany and England have done
when the rights of their subjects have
been invaded in Central America The
State of Panama was bound to protect our
Consul and other Americans. 1t has not
done so, and our representatives and Off
GERS have been actually imprisoned and
maltreated by insurgents. The lawful
authority being incompetent TO control its
people, 1t behooves us to apply the lash,
and with vigor that will be remembered
The country will be gratifed to learn that
United States troops leave New York to-
day and more tomorrow for Aspinwall.
1t is to be hoped they may be so used as to
teach Colombian authorities and insurgents
alike that if We are long-suficring and pa
tient, so are we terrible in our wrath when

ART CULTURE.

The following from the Current will be
read with interest by those who hope iol
greater culture in art in Sacramento
where an effort in that direction is being
made contemporaneous with the attempt
to build up a scientific and natural history
museum, around which it is believed other
institutions will cluster that will prove
greatly beneficial to this city, and add to
its prosperity. The Current says:
There is evidently vigorously conducted Ari

general interest in art on the part OF the com
munity- Such enterprises have an important
influence upon the development of American
art. The important thing is to give the public
generally frequent opportunity Of seeing good
pictures. Comparatively few men outside OF the
large cities ever behold Masterpiece and the
organization of art exhibitions in the smaller
cities is decidedly phianthropic matter.
