The article on plague and PestiIence," printed
elsewhere In TIE STAR this evening, was perhaps
the last ever written by Prof X. A. Proctor The
subject Is treated In the authors usual lucid
style, unhampered by professional technicalilles
and the essay groups in a fresh and Interesting
way the facts and figures which familiar 10 the
students OF encyclopedias, but which the genera
reader finds IL most convenient to have presented
TO his memory from time TO time through such
means. 1t Is singular coincidence that the hand
which wrote II should scarcely have laid down the
pen before being struck pulseless by one OF those
devastating scourges It refers II is not among
the least curious features OF this case that the
professor should have departed from MS accus-
toned line OF topics 70 treat OF one belonging to
another branch Of science from that 10 which his
energies had been devoted for years, only TO have
his record OF Impressions, gained from reading of
the experience OF Others followed by an experience
OF his own which the impatient messenger Of death
gave him no time TO record

Every American citizen who cherishes any hope
OF the ultimate purncation OF politics from the
dross which low ehokes its current Will regret
the publication Of Mr.. Conkiings posthumous let
Ter concerning Mr.. Blaine. In the FIRST place. Mr.
ConxlinS Is dead. and the revival OF his quarrels
OF twenty odd years ago cannot restore him 10 his
admirers; In the second place. IL Is not Mr. Blaine
who Is running for President this year. Why not
ht the dead statesman sleep In peace, and his foe
OF OLD time escape the emorollments which, by his
course before the Chicago convention he did his
best 70 avoid. and which he certainly has not I'm.
vitsd BY his conduct since then? The public thirst
ior scandals ought 70 have been wholly satisfied
By tina fruits OF the Campaign OF 1884. This year
n was hoped that the conspicuousness OF the tarir
issue would give the people something more worthy
70 think ABOUT.

The W. c. T. L. OF Rhode Island has adopted
resolution looking TO the enforcement OF their a.
ciety from the republican party and the transfer
OF It's aid henceforward TO the prohibitionists
Coming so shortly before the presidential election
this Is significant SHIFT; but It's importance is
somewhat discounted by private letter from Col
George Z Waring. 1r, one OF the most noted re.
formers in the little state which has lust found its
way into print, ana In which this sarcastic pas
sage occurs Here in Rhode Island there has never
been brass band or a torchliyht procession or a
skyrocket. We do not carry on our elect,ons in
that way. When election day comes we buy all
the votes we can, and he party that has the most
money and the best machinery for bribery Is the
party that wins" II, therefore, the W. c. t. q.
should succeed 50 far beyond Its bravest expecta-
tons as actually TO carry the state for the third
party, what a hooking arraignmentit would have
70 face for its well-meant efforts,

MADRID, Feb. S.-In the chamber of depu- ties yesterday Senor Castelar, delivered long speech reviewing the European situation. He strongly condemned the constant increase of armaments and the policy of conquest prevalent among the powers and declared that Spain should pursue policy of peace and progress. Continuing, he advocated free trade as beneficial to the working classes and applauded the liberal principles of the pres ent ministry. He considered Prince Bis marck's speech an indication of an approach ing struggle between the Germans and the Slavs, and thought that war between Ger many and Russia would sooner or later be in evitable. Spain, he said, should remain neu- tral in European politics and European wrangles. He condemned the action of Italy in entering the triple alliance, but highly praised her forbearance toward the papacy Senor Castelar's utterances created general enthusiasm ill the chamber, and the speaker was loudly applauded and effusively con- gratulated
