THE "SECRET H1IL.D

Anglo-Indians, and all who have lived in
Asiatc countries, are aware that the natives
have means of conveying news which at i'm
portant junctures enables them to forestall the
Government. Thus throughout the Indian
Mutiny the intelligence of all the important
events, such as battles, captures of cities,
massacres and investments, was Id possession
of the bazaars usually hours and frequently
days before it reached the authorities, and this
Notwithstanding tho fact that the latter had
often taken special measures to insure the
quickest transmission possible. And it is
also well known that this "secret mail is SO
Trustworthy that the natives invariably act
upon it with implicit confidence, specializing
for example, To the full extent OF their fortunes
How the news is sent, however, has never been
discovered, or at least no explanation cOmpre-
hensible or credible by the average Western
mind has been reached. The London Spectator
of a recent date discusses this question at
much length, and suggests the employment by
the Asiatics of carefully laid "dawks" +" or
stages. This no doubt has the appearance OF
common sense explanation, but the dlhculty
about it is that no European, during the whole
time IIindustan has been occupied, has ever
seen such stage in operation, or come across
any of its machinery.
Now it may be admitted that it is possible for
Asatics to arrange such stages or lines OF
communication over hundreds or thousands or
miles without being discovered; but 1t is GER
tanly extremely improbable that they should
| have been able to do this on the considerable
| scale it must have been done upon to account
for the facts without ever being discovered
| HAgain the circumstance that on one occasion,
when the Government had made special
arrangements for tho swift dispatch OF news
from 4 distant point the secret mail beat the
| Government couriers twelve hours appears
to warrant the conclusion that some means OF
communication moro rapid than horses or
runners must be at the disposal of the natives
The Spectator thinks it possible that they
transmit news by signal, but while this may
be the case where comparatively short distances
| are concerned it is not applicable to routes
covering several hundreds OF miles. Anglo
| Indians "a n rnle refuse to accept the native
| explanation of the @secret mall" whlch
| involves belief in what is just now being called
| Telepathy. The natives, when they are "iuihB
| to talk of tho matter at all, which Is very
seldom to Western men, say that neither horses
| nor ynen are employed, and that no . "dawk " Is
laid for the carrying of news but that IL results
from a system of thought-transmsslon which
is as familiar to them as the electric telegraph
| is to us.
The interest of this subject consists in the
facts 1) that tho asecret mail" is an indubit-
able reality, and (2) that no European or
Western observer of any kind has thus far
succeeded in finding even plausible solution
of the mystery; for with all its ingenuity the
explanation offered by the writer in The
Snscfatoy il not plausible.

ELEV1TOR CH1RGES.

In acting on the elevator question, the Legis-
lature has two things to considerable interests
of the public, and the rights of private parties.
If the two are not in harmony. the Legislature
has to considerhow far its constitutional limita-
tions of power permit it to interfere with the
use Of private property by its owners. Most OF
the elevators of which complaint is made. in
Buffalo and in this city, are private property,
owned by private individuals, and the power of
the State over them is subject TO some restric
tions The State will hardly undertake TO de-
eide at what price publisher shall sell news
paper, or for what fee a doctor shall cure a
patient. 1t is believed that the public interest
will be best served by permitting, in such mat
ters, free competition and the free exercise of
private rights. In some measure, it Is necessary
to admit. proprietors of elevators stand on the
same footing. On the other hand, according to de-
csions made by the Supreme Court of the United
States in Western cases, the grain elevators are
instruments and channels Of modern COM
merce, and owe certain duties to the public, the
performance of which it is right that the Legis-
lature should require. In this State the Granger
spirit does not prevail and there is little proba-
bility that the Legislature will fail in reason
able regard for private rights. Neither ought it
to fail in faithful exercise of whatever powers
it may possess for the defence of public interest
There has been great complaint of the ele-
vator charges at this city and at Buffalo for a
long time. 1t is shown that these charges are
much greater, particularly in this city, than the
charges made for similar service at Western
points. 1t is shown that these charges operate
as barrier to the usefulness of the Erie Canal
and go far to counteract the efforts of the Leg
islature to serve the people by removing tolls
on freights transported. That there is much
force in these complaints cannot reasonably be
denied. The charges are higher than they ought
TO be, and the fact that some of the elevators
are kept idle by pooling arrangement, while
the charges made by others are high enough to
secure comfortable profits for all, whether em-
ployed or unemployed, goes far to support the

rights which the Legislature should not forget.

pypeT RLOOD FOR RANDALL.

The first skirmsl, in the war between free
traders and men of expediency for tho control
of MI. Cleveland's Administration has not
ended to the satisfaction of the free-traders.
All narties we'll understood that the selection
of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue was
matter of importance. Mr.. Carlisle, OF Ken
tuckv Mr.. Morrison, tho horizontal statesman,
and other eminent free traders insisted upon
the appointment of Mr.. Thompson, OF hen-
tucky, and it is said went so far as to declare
that il this favor were granted they would ask
no other from the Administration. But MI
Randall. and those who have supported MN I'D
defeating Morrison bills, urged the appointment
of Mr.. Miller, with equal earnestness. Accord
ing TO Democratic journals it .came to be test
of strength between the two wings of the party,
and the result does not please the Tree
traders. Mr.. Watterson, for example, though
he refuses to concede the obvious meaning OF
President Cleveland's selection, comments III
n tone which shows that he is prepared to
expect many other decisions of the same tenor.
He says:
We are not prepared TO accept the defeat OF PM
Thompson as declaration Of by the President upon
the friends Of Revenue Reform. IL VIII be given

SIR. CARLISLE; that, however, VIII dopoIu h''osotn'

II ia difficult to see how the President conld
have allied himself with Mr.. Randall IN any
other WAY more aopenly" than he has done by
this appointment. What Mr.. Watterson can

Apparently he is therefore right in thinking
that there ais an ISSUE" and that the Presi-
dents decision thereon Is mot encouraging Il"

the opinion of nearly all disinterested observers.
and the large influence of the Internal Revenue
Commissioner, with his control over picked
subordinates in every State, is likely to be used
for the benefit Of that wing of the party which
Mr.. Carlisle does not represent, and which Mr..
Randall does.
1t does not follow, of course, that the
President may not hereafter find reason 10
change his opinion. But it Is not to be denied
that the differences which the selection OF MIR.
Manning justified are fully borne out by the
choice of Revenue Commissioner. 1t was
doubtless made with the advice and hearty
concurrence Of the Secretary OF the. Treasury.
Apparently tte President does not now turn
with favor toward the free traders, but believes
with Mr. Manning that it is necessary to profess
a regard for the protective system, in order to
carry Eastern States.

Mr.. PARNELL AND THE PRINCE.

The reception to Royalty in Ireland promises
to be a chilling one. The Corporation of
Dublin has rejected a motion for the presenta-
ton of an address to the Prince and Princess of
Wales upon their arrival. This example will
probably be followed by the municipal author
tiles in all the towns outside Ulster in the line
of the Royal progress In the North of Ireland
official demonstrations of welcome may be
made, but wherever the Nationalists are
intrenched In power, an attitude OF silence and
reserve will be maintained, if Mr.. Parnelrs
advice be needed. The heir to the English
throne is to be reminded that he is the official
patron of Dublin Castle and the military
garrison, and not the honored guest of the Irish
people. Mr.. Parnell has determined to make
something like a test case of the Princes
reception. He has authorized one of his
folio wers to speak for him and to advise
Nationalists to take no part in the public
demonstrations of welcome. While he dis
claims any intention of issuing manifesto to
the Irish people, he admits that Mr.. Clancy
accurately stated his views as the leader of the
Home Rule party in warning them against
aiding @the unspeakably indecent coterie" OF
Dublin Castle In entertaining the Queens son.
The signal has been given for converting tho
Royal visit into a mechanical progress through
conquered province, where hostile demon
strations and expressions Of loyalty and
welcome will be alike repressed.
1t is not strange that Mr.. Parnell from his
point of view sees reason to dread revival or

Princes visit. He knoSs thas hosp,'an,y

hold Their quarrel is with the English people,
wbo insist upon making laws for them instead
of allowing them the privileges OF responsioie
home rule which are guaranteed 70 every
colony. If they followed their generous
instincts they would give the Prince royal
welcome for affording them conclusive PROOF
of his confidence and interest In them anu TINS
would stand in the way OF that public pohcy
which Mr.. Parnell has made the supreme object
of his nolitical career. He is unwilling TO have
the National party, which he has organized,
lose sight of the paramount Importance Oh ilS
mission. II .is to persevere In lts work ana 10
oIoso ;ts ayes and ears to court reves and
ro,,ol naoeonts. Let the Castle entertain the
pr;nce. let the soldiers shout acclaim; but let
the Nationalists look on in silence, unmoved by
ceremonials, the blare OF trumpets and the
sbowering of decorations. 1t will only be
another way of letting the English people know
that Ireland is determined to have Home Rule
and is not to be put off by masquerades and
fates in Dublin Castle.
This is probably Mr.. Parnelrs view OF the
Royal ' isn't as an opportunity for giving express
sion to Irish distrust of everything that is
English and for demonstrating his own
political authority. On the other hand, the
loyal subjects of the Queen can hardly be
blamed if they resent the idea that the next
King of England cannot be sure of a welcome
in Ireland without the consent of the leader OF
the Nationalists. If the Government decide to
treat the document read by Mr.. Clancy as
treasonable manifesto and to institute criminal
prosecutions against Mr.. Parnel and his asso-
ciates, they will probably be supported by
English public feeling, always sensitive when
the honor of the regning family is assalled.
But reprisals of this kind would not predispose
Irishmen in the Princes favor.
