The Washington Critic says: "rhe
trouble with our consular system Is Its
deep impregnation with natural neutral
ity. The Mexican Government not long
since arrested an engineer and threw
him into prison for running his train
over the dead body OF "greaser."
After sir months Of Incarceration he was
released, but 1t was the work Of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers.
The Government Of the United States
looked on with the coolest indifference.
A respectable citizen is to- day working
out life sentence on the coral reefs OF
Honolulu for having killed a native In
the plainest case of selfdefence known
to the judiciary OF the world. The Con-
sui after repeated applications to
the State Department, has been In
structed to "look into the matter. Two
years ago a crowd OF hexloans assailed
the Consulate at Monterey, tore down
the American flag, smashed In the win
dows of the building and assaulted the
Vice Consul, out Of asplrlt of pure dia-
bolism. We presume the Government
Is "still looking into the matter"
Truth 10, 1t has come to be understood
among all foreign nations that the Gov
eminent Of the United States is indifler-
ent as to the fate Of Its subjects abroad,
and that they will never be called to ac-
count for the outbreaks ofrsce prejudice
or national hatred. But we believe the
present Administration will work a
needed reform In this direction. Its
prompt action In the Panama affair
shows that higher value is about to be
placed on the lives and property OF
American citizens in foreign lands, and
that all violations ofintsrnational comfy
will be promptly punished. 1t only re-
mains. therefore, to stir up the consular
system to throw oil its apparent neglect
and Indifference"

The Mormons now say that only about
two per cent. OF the members OF the
church practice polygamy, but judging
from the vigorous protests from them
against the enforcement OF the law, the
public would be led to believe the entire

any rate II the present vigorous crusade
is kept up polygsmy will be one Of the

"TnE first effect OF u declaration of
war between England and Russia, "says
Henry Clews, the New York banker,
twill be to make a soda-water rise in
stocks at the New York exchange, but
In London and on the Continental
bourses 1t will be just the reverse; a Wig
orous break will take place In consols,
rentes and Russians, which will drag
down American and other securities
with them. Lower prices In London
will naturally produce lower prices here
In sympathy during the shook. America
will soon, however, absorb hor good
properties at the reduced prices, but
leave the poorer ones for European per-
manent holding. After American capt.
talists have bought up the best Ameri-
can stocks In the London market at
panic prices, a basis will then be estab-
lished for substantial advance on this
side. An Anglo-Russian war means
war TO the knife and will be OF long
duration, and after Its first shock, as
above stated, is over, American seouri-
ties will become appreciated largely

OF his record, and OF no act more so than
that in the convention. He has dwelt
upon 1t In his mind until he has mngnl-
fed 1t In his estimation to the pivot on
which turned the nomination at Chi
cago. Bragg got here just before the
last reception at the White House. lie
dressed himself with care and went into
the presence OF the President he had
made. Postmaster General Villas super
intended the introduction. Looking
down upon the pinched face, Mr.. Cleve-
land, without any show Of special recog-
milton, said good naturedly, How do
you do Mister Bragg, I'm glad to see
you Then he turned to receive the
next guest, and that was all. Not one

which almost the entire town is afflicted
with a disease Of 4 malarlal kind, one
street having as many as 100 cases along
its length. The disease, the DOCTORS
say, is due to malarlous exhalstions, and
to impure drinking water. The town is
open and airy, and is perched on high
ground, with the Susquehanna river at
its front. Sewerage was easy and prac-
tioal, but was neglected, until the wells
became polluted from the cesspools, and
