authority on the relation of the city treasury to
thieves IL is enough TO make one stand
nghast at the thought which Juror Flnkcn-
staedt's words call up, that the average opinion
among the men Of this city-which average
iurors arc supposed to reflects that money is
in tho city treasury for the explicit purpose OF
being stolen Deplorable, however. as the
prevalence Of such an opinion may be. it does
not compare in banefulness with the willing
ness expressed by these jurors to submit
calmly to this state of things, insist that it is
inevitable and thus take themselves an active
hand in the raid on the treasury. Jurors who
talk in this way are unworthy to be citizens.
They are not only disgrace. they are abettors
of crime.

The Republican majority in the New-Jersey
Legislature may probably be depended on to
meet the temperance issue in frank and
manly fashion The disposition to be made
Of it will probably take the form of high
license, which has been shown to work so well
elsewhere. But there are some advocates of a
general local option law. The best way, per
haps, would be to allow communities to decide
for themselves whether to sanction the liquor
traffic in any way. while providing for re-
strction by ample license fees for the State
as whole.

The Carlisle case still hangs fire in the
House, but the Democrats hope to be able to
make an end of it to-day. As it stands. the
situation must be a decidedly unpleasant one
for man like the Speaker. If his sense Of
honor were as keen as has sometimes been sup
posed, he would insist on the most thorough
investigation possible.

The release OF Mr. O'Brien and other political
prisoners affords striking test of the ineiilclency
If coercion They were sentenced to jail as law
breakers and every effort was made to degrade
them in the estimation of their neighbors and
friends They are welcomed at the doors OF their
prison by enthusiastic crowds; towns are llluml-
mated in honor of their release; great professions
arc formed in the streets; and they received
with every demonstration of pride and respect
They have not been degraded by Imprisonment.
They are welcomed as patriots who have suffered
in a good cause. The law under which they have
been sentenced and punished is not respected IN
Ireland and consequently the penalties enforced
carry with them neither disgrace nor reproach.
II is looked upon as an English method of govern
inc Ireland and not as native institution which
tie people under moral obligations TO regard
with reverence.

That clause in the Deficiency bill which limits
the interest payable customs claims against the
United States TO three per cent is likely if IL be
interpreted as retroactive by the Treasury Depart
ment to put the Government in the unenviable
light Of a repudiator. 1t is rumored that Secre-
tary Fairchild will construe the clause as affecting
claims now in process OF litigation and even judg-
mcnts already obtained but unpaid. This does not
look fair The Government requires that persons
adjudged in debt to 1t shall pay the legal rate of
interest IL ought not TO ask its creditors to
take less True the Government can borrow
money at three per cent interest but it gives a
valid and salabe security for the loan. In any
event, such law should not intervene to pre-
vent q claimant whose action is already begun

What will be done with the ceiling of the
Assembly Chamber is the question uppcrmost
in interest at Albany-cspecially to the As
sembymen many of whom consider them
selves in imminent deadly peril. The pro
posal to have an examination made by experts
is not new idea. Such an examination was
made in 1882 by commission named by Gov
ernor Cornell. which declared that absolute
safety could only be secured by removing The
stone ceiling and substituting wood Whether
the condition Of the stone-work has greatly

ably be the same as the former one.

Good news from ireland is rare these days
The release of Mr.. O,Bren is the first cheering
piece Of information from the battle-ground
OF coercion that has been received for months.
Mr.. OBrien shows a thoroughly undaunted
spirit. The interview with him contained in
our special cable dispatch represents him as
pleased with the situation that confronts him
on emerging from Tullamore Jail and. in spite
of enfeebled health ready to do all that lies
In his power TO advance the cause of the I'M
happy island He thinks that Mr.. Balfours
harsh policy. which has failed in its object Of
breaking up the League, has substantially as
sisted the interests Of Home Rule. The in
domitable will of Mr.. OBrien may be accepted
as an exponent of the feeling of the irish poo
ple in general in this period Of their struggle
for freedom.

from the tops of their heads. Many of them
have regular symmetrical rows of luminous
spots along their sides. These fish go flash
ing through the water like torchlight pro-
cesslon. Sometimes when brought to the
surface these spots still glimmer with light.
Dr. Bean thought it possible that some of
these fish were completely enveloped in
light. Nearly all the deep-sea fishes brought
up have been found to be allied to some
species of shore or pelagic fishes The pc
laSlc fishes are those that live far out at sea
but near the surface Some of them come
rarely to the surface and in their structure
seem to form a connecting link between the
surface and the bottom of the sea. 1t is
supposed that the fish at the bottom repre-
sent degraded types. Their ancestors were
once shore fish or pelagic fish Driven by
their foes or by the disappearance of their
food supply or other unfavorable condi-
lions, they have crept out from the shore
along the bottom until they have become
deep-sea fish. Else they have been pelagic
fish and gradually descended vertically.
Evidences are now offered that the hahbut
is being driven to greater depths. In course
of time, if this be true, the halibut, thus
forced into new physical surroundings, will
develop special organs, and finally may
join the torchlight procession at the sea-
bottom

UNCLE REMUS HARRIS.
How He Looks-How He Found His
Courage Cozing Out.
Fronl az A1lniston Hot BInst.

From the Anniston Hot Blast.
Speaking of newspapers naturally sug-
gests literary laborers, the hardest worked
one of whom, in Atlanta, is Joel Chandler
Harris. Mr.. Harris lives in West End and
makes four trips daily on the horse cars,
wet or dry, hot or cold, blizzard and snow,
or July's torrid heat. He is a quiet looking
man and dreadfully modest. His hair is
yellow-red, his moustache ditto, and his
face covered with freckles. He wears
green coat and vest with grey trousers and
carries heavy hickory cane he wears
light felt soft hat and a rundown collar
with black tie. OF the dozen men on the
fourth floor of the Constitution building he
is the last you would pick out as the world
renowned ''Uncle Remus." When it comes
to work he is interchangeable He writes
free, commercial hand, very plain and not
ornamented by any of the eccentricities
that literary geniuses delight to call char
acteristics, but which are really "fads. "
Mr.. Harris has an income of about 5000
year from his royalties, magazine work and
salary as an editorial writer. His home is
Mt West End, where his choicest friends find
him at his best; quite free from the shyness
that seems to cling to him at the office.
Apropos of this retiringness of disposition,
it is said that during visit to Boston Mr..
Harris was rendered banquet by his pub
fishers. The guests were assembled but
when the critical moment came to face
them Uncle Remus found his courage oozing.
Asking hisentertainers to excuse him mo-
ment before presenting him to the assembled
Guests he stepped into the next room, fled
Thence to the hall, where he grabbed his hat
and dashed into the street. Summoning
hack he drove to the N. Y, N. II. and II.
depot and took the first through train to
Atlanta. The publishers received telegram
of regret next day and request to forward
his grip sack by express.
