READERS of New York papers in these yacht
racing days encounter columns of such Ian
guage as the following:
ga leaden-hued sky with sweep of tumbing
sea, fecked by the froth that rising breeze had
churned, began the third day of the trial races.
when the sun crept from beneath his gray
coverlet of clouds, an hour after dawn, there
was whole sail breeze. The wind was piping
out of the east at fair rate, the sky was still
somewhat cloudy, and old sailors foresoid a
freshening breeze The sea rose rapidly and the
white caps soon chased each other over the
ruffied surface OF the long swell. The sailing
craft going in and out scudded along under
shortened sail, single reefs and small bobiibs
being all that the sloops carried. Even heavy
coasting schooners did without topsalls."
This utilization by the reporters of their dime
novel memories is in direct illustration Of the
oft-repeated statement that no bit of knowledge
Of whatever character, attained by the human
mind, but has its uses in the economy of nature.
1t may. however be remarked in this connection
that the economy in question is of no benefit to
the publisher who pays for the setting up of the
nautical recollections.

THE contagion of home rule is spreading to
Wales, and the people there are beginning to
realize that they should no longer submit to
the imposition of having to pay for the main
tenance of the Established Church, to which
many of them do not belong, but have cast
their lot with some other branch of the Chris
tian church. Here is good chance for Ire
land to make friends across the channel. It
were better and incomparably easier to con-
vert the English common people" to the
views held by the people of Ireland than to
hope to fight it out in desultory and con-
temptible fashion with riotings and boycott
ines.

THE mugwump New Haven News remarks
that no amount of contradiction or explanation
seems to avail to shake off from some minds
the singularly tenacious impression that Mr.
Cleveland is pledged not to accept another
term in Office. The News is in error. A
tenacious and widely prevailing impression,
and one that no contradiction will remove, is
that Mr.. Cleveland will accept Office whenever
and as often as chance permits. The trouble
is that from this time forth his opportunity is
extremely likely to be limited.

Further Information Concerning Recent
Charges Against Government Officials

Further Information Concerning Recent
Charges Against Government Officials.
Montreal Special
A secret inquiry has been set on foot in some
of the government departments in Ottawa to
find out the truth of the allegations publicly
made by Mr.. Chagnon, that Cabinet Ministers
kept mistresses In the employ of the government
for their own use, and that very few of the
women clerks in the government departments az
Ottawa were virtuous. 1t s also stated that pri-
vate detectives employed to ascertain the re-
larons that have existed or may still exist be-
tween women employed in the civil service and
certain Ministers Of the crown and high off
Gals. This action is supposed to have been taken
in compliance with a demand made by Hon.
Mr. Bowel. Minister of Customs. 1t seems
that the Minister of Customs resents the
imputation of immortality as far as he is person
ally concerned, and insists that the constitu-
tional rule which makes all members Of the Cab
met responsible for the action of each member
does not apply in this matter and that those
alone who are guilty must bear the odium He
does not keep mistresses at the public expense,
and refuses to share the responsibility for such
conduct with those who do. The knowing ones
state that there are very few members of the
civil service who could not state circumstances
and give names that, if published, would hor
rify the public. The following remarkable state
ments appear n the Ottawa correspondence
of Montreal journal, 1t is asserted
that women have sacrificed their honor
to obtain appointments aud promotions
for their husbands, and that many ladies are re-
tanned on the pay roll for no reason that can be
discovered, save their personal charms and
amiability of disposition. So valuable and in
dispensable do some Ministers consider the
services of some of these female clerks that they
have to take them with them on official and
other tours through the country. and whether it
be out of innocence or impudence, their names
appear simultaneously on tho hotel registers
among the arrivals and departures One de-
partment is VIGOROUSLY famous as "The
Harem," and names are given of men
whose exile on government service in
the Northwest and elsewhere is accounted
for in way that Is anything
but creditable to the parties mentioned. Most
think, perhaps, that 1t is no part OF Minister'S
duty to procure husbands for lady clerks, but

is wonderful that the little fellow was not
burned, for the mother had Rugged him closely

From her toes to her neck she was burned, even

slightly singed. Both thighs and her legs were
baked, one of them almost to a crisp Her right
arm was badly disfgured, and also her right

ignited by brushing against lighted cigar in

In his last speech in Maine, Mr.. Blaine said
the Republicans were accused of something
heinous during the last president. canvass
that they had $500, 600, 900 loci.el up in the
Treasury, and there was a great hue and cry
over it, and he was not sure that the State of
Indiana was not lost to the Republicans on
that issue. This is very true. On no one

Voorhees, dwell so much and with such unc-

demagogic appeal made by intelligent men

should be paid to each man, woman and child
in the country, and Mr. Voorhees, went SO
far as to indicate that suit might be

cover the amount 1t was pitiful

it had its effect. No sooner had the admins
