Blaine Has Arrived.

The City OF New York was sighted south
east OF Fire Island. steaming along toward
the Narrows. at l.15 q. m. to-day. 30 far
as could be peen she was procet ding sue
eessfully on her voysge, The vessel bore
no evidences OF bad weather or unusual
hardships as well as could be sscertaiued.
She passed over the bar at an early hour
and was at her dock az New York city be-
fore o'clock this morning. Though it was
like performance OF Hamlet with the
part Of the Prince OF Denmark omitted, the
Blaine demonstration last night was
ia every way very creditable in
deed. With Mr.. Blaine still on
the high seas. II could not be
expected that there would be the entbusi-
asm which his presence would have in
spired. but az II was. the view up Fifth
avenue from Twenty-third street during
the parade was q magnificent one. Mad
isou Square and the avenue we're covered
by dense mass OF human beings, all ami
mated by one thought--to view the parade
and cheer for Blaine. AS far as the eye
could reach the marching column OF pa
raiders, with waving banners, blazing
torches and bright transparencies, could be
Sc d. All did not turn out who would have
done 20 II Mr. Blaine had been on the re-
viewing stand, but It was, nevertheless, an
interesting parade OF fair proportions.

The state adduced testimony in sccord-
ance with the above facts and the defence
was that OF insanity. Redel's counsel
made an able tiefence, leaving no stone
unturned 20 procure his acquittal on this
plea. Evidence was given that the prisoner
had met with many mistortunes, and hav.
ing met with flnal insult at the mill, his
mind became unbalanced and that he was
laboring under the form OF inpanity known
ns melancholia when he committed the
crime. His positive indifference and stoi-
cal manner confirmed the plea, and testi-
mony was received in favor of his insanity
from such eminent experts as Dr.. Edward
N. Brush. Of the Klrkbride Insane Asylum,
Dr. Charles X Mills, lecturer on insanity
In the University OF Pennsvvania and
superintendent of the insane OF Blockley
almshouse and Dire Springer aud Osle Of
this city, who have been for years con
nected with the New Castle county aims
house. His connection with nociallstic
societies was offered aud the charge OF
Chief Jusiics Comegys was favorabls to
the prisoners plea.
The case was given to the jury at 5. 80
p m. on May IS. and a few minutes after
8 O'Clock the next morning the jury came
into court with verdict OF guilty OF
murder in the FIRST degree, During the
formality OF rendering the verdict Risdel
sat unmoved. He seemsd to take no inter.
est in anything around him. He glanced
about the room several times. bat all
emotion seemed foreign 90 him when the
foreman pronounced tho fatal verdict.
This state OF mind be has maintained up to
his execution today, and Il a familiar
story 10 the readers OF the JOURNAL.
Ga the 7th OF June Mr.. Ward made an
eloquent argument for new trial, which
was denied the next day, aud Riedel smiled
when Judge Houston falieringly pro-
nounced hi5 doom. Every effort was
exhaustad by Mr. Ward TO secure either O
commutatiou OF his sentence or respite,
but executive clemency was finally refused
Thursday. He went to his grave apparently
The best satisfied mau over his fate that has
ever met death on the gallows.

PENSION GRABS.

The Washington Post, in answer TO the
Republican advocates for more pensions,
publishes the appropriations from 1921
1887 to show that no country has been so
lavish as ours in taking care of her sol
diers. In 1865 the pensions apprOpria-
tions amounted 10 about $16,000,000 and
since then have run up TO $40 900 in
1887, and promise 10 be over $500 900 900
in 1888.
How was it possible for Mr.. Cullom,

quoted There is nothing in the history
OF nations that can begin to compare

of our great civil conflict.

appropriations for soldiers homes show
that the truth and Mr.. CullOm's ailega-
lions are squarely opposed to eacn other
New homes are being built, the Old ones
are being enlarged, and there is a steady
increase in the number of inmates, all OF
whom are much better provided for than

Does Mr.. Cullom know, do the dema
gOgues in the Senate suspect, that they
are arousing II feeling Of Indignation in
the minds of a larger number Of the eX-

few of them being Republicans, intense
in their attachment to party, who are ter

As ii is here, so is it in other cities and

lion of the survivors Of the armies OF
Grant, Sherman, Thomas, and other com
manders are opposed 10 bills and speeches
that tend to degrade the soldier into an
accomplice of the claim agent for the
ruin of the county. In their insane fear
of offending the soldier element, which
is a myth, these competing demagOgues

best but not most noisy portion of the
ex- soldiers"

means OF communication for business should
do everything possible TO reduce the num-
Der OF words necessary TO convey the mean
Ing Of their messages One OF the methods
Immediately employed for cutting down tho
quantity Of language was the employment
Of cable codes, whore a designated word was
used for an entiro phrase, aud another method
was to register a word or a name at the
offices at either end Of the line, which
served as the address. The people who use
the cables have gotten en- % a new wrinkle
in the registering OF the names, to which the
cable companies distinctly object. but 50
long as tho present competition continues
they don't feel themselves strong enough 20
take any determined stand in the matter
The wrinkle in question is the arrange
mont of the cable code ia such ID way that

LAST DAY OF THE IEGIsLATURE.

To-day the session Of the present
Legislature expires by Limitation, and
there is much important business TO be
transacted. At the adjournment Satur-
day night. Tor rather yesterday morning,
since neither branch arose until after
midnight the appropriation bill was
still In allegiance, and unless MI agree
ment is reached on it to day bat two al.
ternatives are presented there must
either be an extension of the regular ses.
sion, or an extra session must necessarily
be called by the Governor.
BY all means, we would advise the
Democratic members to avoid the latter,
since nothing would 80 please the Repub-
licans. The Body has been in session
ninety days. Beyond the soldiers
pension bill AID the appropriation TO
assist the revival Of the reyered old viii
liam and Mary College-for which Mr..
Stubs In the Senate, and Mr.. Lyon G.
Tyler in the House, are entitled to their
full mead OF praise for their strenu-
Gus labors in its behalf-really
nothing OF any public consequence
has been done. To extend the
session so that the appropriation bill
may be passed, will require a three-ffths
vote, and to secure this every Democrat
must be in his seat as the Republican.
will want no better card to play than to
be able TO 60 before the people and tell
