over him he would rush out and stab the

was eventually cured
II remember another case where man
In Arkansas wrote me saying that enc
day while he was digging in the garden
his little child came running out TO play.
AS soon as nc saw her sudden desire to
kill her with the spade came over him.
He said the feeling was so strong that lie
had to tell the child to leave the garden.
Afterwards lie declared that he feared he
would kill his family. wrote him to go
TO an ASYLUM Immediately, because II he
did not the mania would grow and he
would certainly kill some one, In which
event he would be morally as guilty as If
he had planned the murder in his sober
senses.
The case of De Mallard, the French
man. is a noted one, and from the fact
that the victims were all women 1t is
peculiarly interesting. He used to adver-
tise for servant girls. When they came
he would lead them of TO some secluded
spot and murder them. There was no
other object than mad thirst for human

six women in this way, and is supposed to
have killed many more whose bodies were

Books are full of such cases, and they are
not confined TO men, either. Women have
figured quite as prominently One French
woman. between 1853 and 1857, murdered
over twenty PEOPLE. She used poison in
every instance and her victims included
relatives, neighbors, physicians and nuns

NEW YORK.

Governor Hill of New York has such
engagements TO speak all over the State
that he will not be able TO appear in the
great Democratic parade on Saturday
with Mr.. Cleveland. He will be there in
spirit, however, and Will be felt. New
York week ago was doubtful, but we see
no reason now to doubt that State,
and we believe that in the hands
of the able managers OF the
party New York is certain for
Cleveland. so much the more need Tor
making a strong and united effort to
hold Virginia. If the battle goes as 1t
did before in the North. the result Will
depend on this State, rs no other South
ern State is considered doubtful since The
splendid efforts Of the Democracy in
West Virginia.

The lsy has passed when demagogues
and offlce-seekers can run a great party
even in a State. There must be princl'
ples represented by patriotic men and
meetings that are the opponents of solid
opinions, that operate on our prosperity
and progress.
The American man is not sentimental

of a brilliant personality, as 10 the days
of Clay and Webster. He is voter who
thinks about business, and the proof OF II
il that the Democracy lie shaken in its very
citadel by q mere consideration OF tariff
which means so much taxes, OF
so much protection. The people care not
for Cleveland or Ben Harrison. The last
one of them is thinking on different
line from the ways Of thirty years ago
and they calculate where the interest Of
the issue is to them. Hence Richmond
with 5000 white majority, gives only
small Democratic majority. The people
do not exactly comprehend the nature OF
the issue, and hundreds of them think
that protection is to their interest, while
the party in power has been so weak a.
not to use It's influence to strengthen i's
leaders In the country districts. The
National Committee appears to act on int
idea that the South is a side show attach

do not mean, by any means, that th'
great party of patriotism and reform
should be degraded to the spoils system
but we do mean that a parry posted on
great principles should use IFS power II
the right direction without fear, and
above all things, be just in the officia
