The interesting ghost story, Of which the
begins publication to-day,
had It's run in England many years age, and
it attracted the special attention Of
the late Mr.. Charles Dickens and
other literary and scientific gentle
men interested In the observation and
study of such phenomena. 1t has not been
surpassed In interest by any later well au-
thenticated narrative Of like character, nor
have the earlier writers Of responsibility
given us any more remarkable ghost story
than this of Mr.. Heaphy.
The account which we win rrint in sue
cessive numbers Is that which was given
by the gentleman in whose experience the
incidents occurred he was an artist OF
standing and gentleman of unquestioned
credibility and his story was printed
mainly in correction of distorted versions
of the affair that had crspt into the period
icals.
Those who follow il to the end will bt
ready to acknowledge that "there are more
things in heaven and earth than ar
dreamed Of in our philosophy"

A Reform Defeated.

The Democrats in the New York legis-
lature have made an earnest effort to
change the time of the municipal elections
in New York city from fall to spring, so
that their result will depend upon an
honest expression of the popular will, and
not upon the deals and intrigues which
grow out of the circumstance that the
general and local elections occur on the
same day.
1t is notorious fact that most of the
New York politicians of all parties are
more interested in the fat pickings of city
politics than in tho far larger issues
Of the federal contests. And yet the
votes which they control determine
the greater events and rule the country. 1t
is an open secret now that the expenditure
Of 100000 in certainquarters of New York
by the Republicans and the failure of that
amount to be forthcoming from the Dem
0crats in 1880, was the great moral lever
that elected Garfield and defeated Han
cock.
The plots and counter-plots and cross
purposes of the New York city tricksters
and traders are not understood by the
countrymen whose destinies they control,
md they ought to be taken out of the fights
in which we are interested. 1t is to the
credit Of the Democrats that they tried to
have this done. 1t was the Republicans of
the New York Senate who have frustrated
. reform that would have been hailed with
JOY from Winnipeg to Tampa bay.

GOVERNOR MCLANE's appointment to oe
minister to France causes somewhat curious
complication regarding the executive head
of the state. Under the Maryland constitu-
tion in case of the death or resignation of the
governor or his removal from the state or
other disqualification, the legislature fills the
vacancy, If in session. II that body is not In
session the president of the senate discharges
the duties of the governor until an election
by the legislature. Henry Lloyd, president
of the Senate, by this law becomes acting gov
ernor But his term as senator expires No
vember 8, 1885, while the legislature does not
meet until January g. 1886. The question
arises whether his gubernatoral powers do
not expire with his senatorial term. Ger
tainly he conld not have become governor
without being senator, and the point Is a
very nice one whether it is not absolutely
necessary for the senatorial and gubernato-
rial powers to be co-existent in him to make
him legal chief executive. To cut the Cor
dian knot he might summon the Legislature
i'm extra session before his senatorial career
closes This would be the simplest and best
plan. Besides il would give him an oppor-
tunity to be a candidate for reelection i'm his
district, a position which he could not con-
veniently take If he remained governor. For
supposing him defeated in his senatorial am
bition, while acting governor, would 1t be
lis senatorial or gubernatorial entity that
had been rejected? Altogether there is a
very wide field of onjecture opened In this
case by the imperfection of the Maryland
law.

AN interesting legal point has just been
decided by the Kentucky supreme court
with reference to the laws relations to con-
tracts made by telephone. As the same state
OF affairs that brought about this suit is possi-
BILE in every city or village where the tele-
phone is in general use, IL may be OF interest
to reproduce its essential facts. A contract
was entered into by telephone by plaintiff
and defendant living in adjoining towns.
The plaintiff had the operator at the Office TO
speak for him. The defendant, II was
alleged, made an agreement for tho
defendant admitted holding the conver-
sation by telephone, but contradicted the
plaintiff as 10 what had been said. The
operator was called as witness 20 testify as
to what communications he had sent and
received, but while he remembered that the
conversation had been held he had forgotten
its particulars. The trial court then per-
mitted the plaintiff to prove by himself and
two other persons who were present at the
time what the operator said to defendant and
what he reported as coming from defendant
The court found for the plaintiff, holding
that the operator was in law an interpreter,
whose communication might be proved by
himself or by persons present who heard the
interpreters remarks. A great deal of legal
acumen will be exercised before the status of
the telephone in contracts will be firmly
fixed.

Mormons piasr From the supreme Court.

Mormons Differ From the supreme Court.
The general sentiment among intelligent
Mormons regarding the decision of the
United States supreme court i'm the election
cases, in which the Utah commissioners are
respondents, is one of disappointment While
the test oath prescribed by the commission is
declared invalid, the Mormons say the court
went out of its way to practically declare the
Edmunds act valid, when the point was not
necessarily before ii. The ruling that in
erign control of Congress is viewed with
amazeinent and regret, and is generally con-
sidered as a position more opposed to Re-
publican form Of government than any ever
given since the nation was founded. The
Mormons feel that they are being unjustly
dealt with.

TIE POLYGAMOUS MORMONS.
Bishop Sharp Talks of His Late Trial and the
General Feeling Among the Saints.

OMAHA Neb., Nov 4-Bishop Sharp, of Utah,
who passed through Omaha, last evening, en-
route East, said the excitement over the prose
cution of the polygamists is deep and spreading.
Bishop Sharp says that his course in pleading
guilty, and paying fine, and promising to obey
the law, has gained for him the enmity of the
elders Of the church and his former friends.
Friends with whom he has associated for life
time, and men with whom he has long been
linked in church work, have turned against him.
Il am now comparatively ostracised," said he,
'but | acted according to the dictates of my con-
science, and just as in all wisdom | should have
acted. My letter, which published at the time.
explains my position exactly. / don't renounce
my religion. or any part thereof; simply give
up the practice of polygamy because the United
States laws forbid my indulging in it any longer.
AS long as am citizen of the United States l.
don't see how / can do otherwise. If [ were I'M
willing to comply with the statute, would be at
liberty to go outside of the United States limits
and continue the practice of polygamy AS to
any serious results from the present trouble, l
do not predict anything. There are some re-
beious mutterings in certain quarters though
others are inclined to acquiesce The Mormons
are stubborn. but when they are threatened
with the penitentiary, as was it is reasonable
to suppose they will come to their senses. The
Edmunds law is severe law, but it does exactly
what it was intended to- 1t sends men to prison
who refuse allegiance to the United States in
declining to give up polygamous practices.
don't think this great issue will be satisfactorily
disposed of until representatives of the United
States and men of the Mormon Church meet and
discuss the matter, as men of wisdom and justice
should, to devise some of solving the
question IN as speedy manner as possible"
