The debate on the Mills bill, while in
many ways a notable one, brought out
little that was absolutely new. The tar
if las been SO much discussed that the
most that can be done with it is to present
old truths in new ways. The debate
brought ont ali sorts of speeches, from the
horse talk of the Massachusetts member.
who, because he owned a few sheep in
Worcester, attempted to pose as the rep
resentative of the great wool-grow
ing industry of the country up
through the humorous efforts of
Messrs. Cox and Mason to the
strong presentation of the free trade side
of the issue by Mr.. Breckenridge and
Speaker Carlisle and the mastery argu-
ments for protection by Messrs Nc Kinley,
Reed, Rainfall, Stewart, Grout and others
So far as the question Of reducing the sur
plus is concerned, so much as this must
be conceded. A general reduction of the
duties on imports must result in increas-
ed importations and probably to such an
extent that the surplus would grow rather
than decrease under such reduction The
placing of scores of articles on the free
list, most Of which can be and are pro-
duced here would force the wages OF work
ingmen and working girls in factories and
workshops down TO the beggary pitt3uce
paid in ENGLAND and otherfree trade c0un
tries. The surplus can best be reduced by
repeating the internal revenue taxes
which are a more direct burden on the
the people than the tariff.

Several of the recent democratic con
ventions, while strongly endorsing Mr.
Cleveland's administration, have omitted
all reference to the Mills tariff bill. The
managers evidently would like to leave
the delegates free to stradde the tariff
question, at st. Louis. Mr.. Cleveland
has, however put himself on free trade
platform whether the national democratic
convention adopts his theory or not, and
he cannot run as anything but free
trader.

The Supreme Court Of Michigan has de
clared the local option law of that State
unconstitutional as being in violation of
an article of the State constitution which
provides that no law shall embrace more
than one subject, which snail be EN-
bodied in its title. The local option law
is entitled IAN act to regulate the manu-
facture and sale of liquor but also com
prises other matters relating to taxation.
The democrats and third party prohibit
tionists are iubilaut and claim that the
decision will add thousands of votes 10
the third party and make Michigan demo
cratic. After which, and as long as the
State remains democratic there Will be

Two Kinds of AristocrScy,

l have nothing against aristocracy if it be of temporary sort. Wo need moro or less imitation to mako us rise and despiso low habits. But when you get a permanent ariS tocracy, hereditary ill its nature and struc- turc, you have created a serious piece of mis chief. An aristocrat whose father made shoes, as mine did, is very useful fellow He brushes up, builds Q fine house and edu, cat.s his children. He is patron of art and schools, and sympathizes with other people. He knows how the poorer folk feel and think But an aristocrat whose ancestor was made such by William the Conqueror is a different sort of person. He patronizes art and school. and patronizes the people too. He is mem bor of class. So:iety, by such aristocracy is divided into two Siverging sections.-M Maurice, M. D., in Globe Democrat.

Professor Lee, of Bowdoin college, who ac- companied tho Albatross expedition as a naturalist, tells of curious experience in the South Pacific ocean. Years ago the Ecuador government planted convict colony on Charles Island, ono of the Galapagos group Tho convicts revolted, killed the governor and escaped, leaving behind pigs, cattle, donkeys and horses Since that time no one was thought to live there, and at Chatham Island, another of the group, the Albatross party were told that Charles Island was en- tirely deserted They were, therefore, rather surprised when they visited Charles Island to come upon man nearly naked carrying a pig on his back. He was quite as surprised as they, and was at first in great fear; but finally they got him to talk. Els hair and beard had grown to great length, and he had lost all notion of time. He said that some years before he had come from Chatham Island with q party in search of a certain valuable moss; that he had desorted his com panions, who had gone off without him, and that since that time he had been alone on the island. 1Io had lived on fruits and herbs had captured wild cattle by setting traps for them; killed them with a spear made by tying his pocket knife to 0 stick, and from their hides made hut. He was glad to see men again, and asked to Do taken back to Chatham, which was granted, of course New York Sun.

Cause. a Euith less Mifc.

The dead body of Edwin Moseley was found in Quinnipiac river near Lewis bridge, New Haven, yesterday morning. The causes which led him to take his own life are embraced in n long chapter of domestic infelicities in which an unfaith- ful wife is the principal. For nearly twenty five years the couple have been married, and in these later years the conduct of Mrs Mosely has been such as to make his life miserable. Discouraged over the wreck ing of his home, and wandering about several weeks without work ,EdwinMoseley decided that life was not worth living, and deliberately planned his death. Placing stones i'll his overcoat pocket, he dropped into the swelling waters of the Quinnipiac and shook off his earthly troubles by drown ing

SUTTON yS SELECTNIEN.
Arguments on the Injunction Case Heard
 This Morning.

A hearing on the injunction served by James Sutton upon the selectmen restrain ing them from doing any work upon the roads of the town, and compelling them to draw orders to an amount not more than S10,OO0 at the instance of James Sutton for work done upon the roads to his order, and also ordering them to deliver over to Sutton the tools. etc, belonging 10 the town and used upon the highways. was heard by Judge Bradstre~t in the llStrlct court this morning. The defence claimed that the vote appointing Sutton was not specified in the warning; that it was con trarv to a vote passed by town meeting in 1881, and that the election of James Sutton was not by ballet.
 The records of town meeting since No vember 3, 1S4S, were produced to show the different systems for maintaining and repairing the highways tried since that time. The defendants produced the vote of town meeting held April 2l, 1850, or derinc thereafter that all town officers should be elected by ballet and on one piece of paper.
 The plaintiff claimed, filst that the vote was irrelevant, second that 1t has been re- pealed bv statute, and lastly that the pro visions for repairing the highways had nothing to do with the annual election Of officers.
 The ease was continued until o'clock tomorrow.

THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Morris Noriarty Found Guilty of Assault
 and Stealing Hay.


 The first case before the superior court this morning was against Morris Morlarty for committing an assault upon l.. w. Latham on the evening of June 5. Latin am, who is watchman at the Buckle shop, claimed that Moriarty assaulted him with out provocation while he was sweeping the sidewalk. Moriarty testified that the watchman ripped him up with his broom and was responsible for the assault. He was found guilty. A fine of S10, the same penalty as was inflicted in the lower court, was imposed.
 A case against Morris Moriarty for steal ing a load of hay from the meadow of A. l.. Platt near Platt's mill a few weeks ago was next called. It will be remembered that Platt and his hired man traced the hay along South Main and Washington streets as far as Moriarty's house and lden- tifed the hay found in his barn as that stolen from the meadow. Moriarty told a plausible story as to how he came by the hay in his barn and gave an account of his whereabouts on the night in question, A surprise was in store for the court when Charles Connor, young man who works for Moriarty, took the stand. lie swore that on the night in question he was on a drunken spree and at a late hour hltched Moriarty's horse into one-seated buggy and started out to paint the town. He cannot account for his actions for several hours. About o'clock in the morning he awoke and found himself in Platt's meadow and almost frozen. lie gathered few armfuls of hay about him in the wagon to keep him warm and drove home. The hay dropped from the wagon all along the street:
 The case was given to the jury at l2:4o and after an hours deliberation they re turned verdict of guilty, placing the value of the hay at $3. Judge Andrews imposed a fine of S'S
 John Kelly, was called upon to answer to charge of assault and battery upon his wife committed June l2. Kelly who his worthless fellow, had not lived with his wife or family for two years until the time of the blizzard when they took pity on hln' and allowed him to come home. He re mained with them until the middle of June. Kelly pleaded not guilty and created q sensation in court by putting on his hat while on tie witness stand. lie was found guilty and sentenced to Jai for six months.
