CURRENT COM MMENT.

Chicago Inter Ocean: O'Donovan
Rossa seems 10 be laboring to induce
Americans 10 pass an act suppressing
free speech, or providing for placing fools
like himself in the pixory or for ducking
them in a horse pond In this ambition
he will probably fail. He may, however,
possibly induce some of our legislatures
to SO define insanity as to make 1t include
the case of every person who advocates
the use use of dynamite or the dagger as
a means of promoting political reform.
The speeches ROssa makes should send
him to the insane asylum.
New York Herald: 1t is not desirable
we should be freed of nuisance by
crime. and it is pity the English woman
could not reason as cody as her country
men generally do, that Rossa is really OF
little account in the difficulties that agi-
tate her country. But she seems to have
followed the London editors In becoming
excited over wretched creature whose
howling distracts the attention of justice
away from the more dangerous men.
While we must all regret the commission
of any crime, we must also recognize that
SO long as the law tolerates such dolngs
as those of ROssa, there Is no reason to
be surprised if they provoke violence.
New York Tribune There are several
views which it is possible to take of the
shooting of ODonovan Rossa. Incredu-
lOus people Will be apt to see In it an ef-
fort on the agitator's part to advertise
himself and his paper. The woman says
quietly she shot him because he is
O'Donovan Rossa." If she really wanted
to kill him she ought to have been able
todo more than wound him slightly In
the course of five shots at close quarters.
But in no case is there likely to be much
sympathy with the victim. He has been
preaching the doctrine of assassination
for years, and it is certainly not surpris-
ing, however much the friends of law and
order may regret it, that someone should
take him at his word.
New York Times: 1t is obvious
"smothered war" cannot be waged all on
one side. II ODonOvan as an Irish
man is justified in infiicting injuries, or
even claiming as his own, injuries In
tlicted upon persons or property of casual
Englshmen, he must accord like bell1ger-
ant rights TO casual Enghshmen. Who
ever finds him will naturally slay him
and he cannot condemn the slayer.
Sauce for the tyrannical Saxon goose
Celtic gander There may be valid OBJ
jections on public grounds to allowing
English emissaries to do prOmiscuOus
and unskillful pistol practice on ODono-
van in the streets of New York, but they
are objections which O'Donovan has
estopped himself from urging.

How Young Frenchman Won IN Wife
and 10000 Francs.

IN. Y. Mail and Express
A young Frenchman of fine family,
though impoverished by the revolution, as
pired to a post under the Government, to
occupy which it was necessary to furnish
a certain sum to deposit as security. Our
hero could not obtain the requisite amount
from his friends, and at last hit upon an
expedient to put an easy end to his diff
Guilty. He caused an advertisement to ap-
pear in one of the journals as follows:
"a young man, occupying an honorable
position, wishes to marry lady well
brought up, and possessed of 80 francs"
Two hundred and fifty francs are about
cl0; and. as there are many women in the
world who would be glad to purchase a
Young, handsome aud honorably connected
husband on such moderate terms, it was
quite natural that the advertiser in the
course of three days, during which his
notice appeared in public, should have re-
ceiqed many letters and applications.
The young man addressed note TO each
of the applicants, appointing a place and
hour when he should meet them all togeth-
er. and politely invited ali TO come and look
at him.

the makeup or his Cabinet, and have no
doubt convinced themselves, at least, that
their demands should be needed, but the
one man who holds their fate az the
pleasure Of has own sweet VIII has been
as dumb as an oyster as To what he will
or Will not do La this manner. Bayard,
Mcdonald, Thurman, Garland, Car
Isle and Villas have been urged up
on him, but have not even been rewarded
By promise, and it is said that the Pres
ident has not intimated to his most inti-
mate personal friends who viii be his
advisers. Those who venture predictions
generally say that his Cabinet will be
formed from the younger and more pro-
gressiye elements Of the party, though
Randall probably stands good chance
OF recognition.
This is naturally very irritating TO most
of the older party managers, those who
have borne the burden IN the heat of the
day, and who have used their influence To
place this unknown man before them
selves TO be snubbed IN return for their
generosity. The upshot OF the whole
business is that a volcano OF respectable
dimensions is slumbering in the Demo-
cratic camp, and is liable to get up an
irruption at any moment after the 4th of

THE recent State Labor Convention OF
New York. took into consideration plans
for the employment Of prison labor so
that it should not operate against the in
terests of honest workingmen- The plan
tae convention presented provides that
prisoners be employed in raising. without
machinery, farm products for their own
consumption; that they manufacture
clothing and other articles for use IN
prisons anu charitable institutions. and
that the excess Of prisoners over those
employed in the above occupations shall
manufacture articles Of low cost and
such as are now manufactured or that
they be employed on State roads. The
question Of proper disposition Of con-
wet labor demands a solution and the
recommendation made by the working
men Of New York are worthy of careful
consideration.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Muskegon
Ne,rs, IN discussing the harbor question
over which the citizens of Muskegon and
Grand Haven annually waste wind enough
for half a dozen respectable cyclones, as
serts that the reason why the Detroit x
Milwaukee steamers prefer to founder IN
the ice fields off Grand Haven for weeks,
rather than run into the open harbor at
Muskegon, is that the captains of these
boats are forbidden to run into Muskegon
harbor under any circumstances. Now,
let Grand Haven speak her mind about
Muskegon and her harbor.
