1T was deeply pathetic in McSweeney
to tell how the citizens of Columbus had
been for years dragged before grand iu-
ries to find to find out whether they had
committed forgery. 1t was sad. But
the juries were fixed right along, so that
the terror was not general. In this city
for a time after the forgeries of 1885,
the BOOble guards stood round about the
grand jury room, backed by the Doodle
police, to intimidate witnesses, and some
who sought to give testimony were drag
ged by the police to the station-house,
seized. searched, abused and falsely i'm
prisoned for trying to tell about ballot
box stutiing. This was the top flower
of Democratic administration in Gin
cinnati.-CiR. Commercial Gazette.

SINCE the beginning of the present
year the price of coffee in the specula-
tive markets has declined about seven
cents per pound. This is estimated to
amount to an aggregate of more than
$10,000000 of difference in value on
coffee actually in existence and that
which has only a mythical being but
stands on the books of the speculative
world as bought and sold. 1t is believ-
ed that nearly the whole of this large
sum has changed hands nominally from
one side of the Atlantic to the other as a
consequence of the break in prices.
The gamers are understood to live most
" in the United States, having been
wise enough to get on the short side of
the market in anticipation of the break,

WIDE interest Is manifested IN the
township local option question, and the
chances are that the saloons will speedily
be outlawed in a very considerable part
Of the rural districts of the State. The
liquor dealers of Ohio, as a class, have
been SO unreasonable, so greedy, and so
tyrannical, in their shameless political
bossism. that they have tempted the fate
which is now overtaking them, and they
will find few to sympathize with them
in their troubles.
TIE denial by Judge Thurman of the
story that he had been duped into the
prosecution of the tally-sheet forgers
was not necessary. The public knows
Mr. Thmman's hatred of all trickery
and dishonesty too well to believe other
wise than that he premeditatedly enter
ed the fight against the tally-sheet forg
ers to free the politics of Ohio from the
worst gang Of baIlot-box manipulators
that ever disgraced it.
IN his speech on the tariff in the Sen
ate Thursday Mr. Teller hit the Presi-
dents economic policy with some hard
facts. He showed that the results of
the twenty-seven years of experiment
under the protective system proved that
it was not ''vicious, Illogical nor inequit-
able" as the President charged in his
recent message, but that it had brought
general prosperity TO this country.

RNGLAND's DEFENsEs.

Is Improving Them.

Secretary Stenhope Says the Country
Is Improving Them.
LONDON, May 9-Right Hon. Edward
Stanhope, Secretary of State for War, to-
day received deputation of members of
Parliament, who presented an address
urging the necessity of placing the country
in a proper state of defense. In reply, the
War Secretary declared that there was no
occasion for a panic. Englands prepare
ton, he said, compared favorably with
those of foreign powers. Still, the govern
ment recognized the necessity for immediate
action. At all the military ports and coal
ing stations the work of strengthening the
defenseS was being carried on with renewed
activity, and at the leading mercantile ports
every effort was being made to complete
the submarine mining defenses. An at
tack upon London by way of the Thames
would be made an absolute impossibility.
81 ABOUT TO ORGANIZE.
The multifarious forces of regulars, mill
tia and volunteers were about to be organ
lied, and the government would be able TO
produce at short notice, field army suffl-
Gent to defend England and, primarily. to
protect London. leading feature Of the
plan would be the formation of a third army
corps, composed of regulars, militia and
volunteers, to be used chiefly in the defense
of ports; and also the formation of re-
serve field army corps. The points
of concentration and lines of defense
were being carefully arranged, and the
transport service would be ready for any
emergency. The volunteer artillery would
be increased by the addition of $50 MOBILE
and eight heavier guns. The danger did
not lie in want of numbers, but in the in
complete preparations. The government
appealed to Parliament to assist in prepar-
ing to avert any danger that might threaten
England. Mr.. Stanhope's remarks were
greeted with applause by the deputation.

A Schooner lowed by a Whale.

EfOHt tue OdOe <dftTt duCSTttSEfs
letter has been received from the
steward of the schooner II. B. Griffin, Capt.
George Nelson, now absent on the banks,
in which it is stated that they have net
with an unusual experience, viz, that of
being towed by a whale. The affair oc-
| CURED on fine day when all the dories
were out attending the travis The captain
and steward were on board, as usual look
ing after the vessel, and keeping an eye on
the dories, when all at once they felt a
sudden jerk, and soon the vessel was going
through the water at a rapid rate and no
motive power visible. 1t takes considerable
to startle fisherman, but this was some
thlng so uncommon, a vessel dashing
through the water at rapid rate, with her
sails furled and anchor down, that they
began to look alarmed. Suddenly the
cause made itself manifest, when a mon
strous whale arose to the surface, with the
anchor fast either in his jaw or blow hole
He tore through the water ct high pres
sure rate, and was fast taking the craft out
of sight of the dories, thus leaving the crews
exposed; and besides this, there was danger
of the vessel being towed under. The only
remedy was to cut the cable. This was
done, and his whaleship went off with the
anchor in tow. The jib and foresail were
hoisted and the vessel was soon engaged in
picking up her dories, and on the way to
Newfoundland, where new anchor and
cable were secured.
There are but two other similar cases of
which we have any record, which we have
found IN the files of our paper, viz: Schooner
G. H. Price was towed day and half by
whale in 1873, when the fiuke of the anchor
broke and she was released. Then again
on Dec 16, 1874, while the schooner Sultana,
Capt. Peterson, was at anchor on the Grand
Bank, a sudden motion was felt, and soon
the vessel was speeding through the water
wishing to lose sight of his dorymen, cut
the cable after he had beer lowed some dis
lance, otherwise he thought he might have
captured the monster. There was a COM
panion whale which swan with the one
who had the anchor, and he was evidently
astonished at the predicament of his mate.

CEDAR KEY AND THE CANAL.

The Finding of Deep Water Channel
That was Not Well Known.
CEDAR KEY, FLA, May 9.--The survey
of the proposed route for the great ship
canal across the State of Florida, from
Cedar Key on the Gulf to Palatka, on the st.
Johns river has been completed, and is
pronounced entirely practicable and feas-
able. The greatest elevation above sea
level was found to be 80 feet, with a sub
strata nearly the entire distance of rock
above the water level. The lucky finding
of deep water at Cedar Key has saved this
immense enterprise to Florida. This shows
the incompleteness of government coast
surveys, on this coast at least for right
here in sight of channel
barely furnishing depth of water
sufficient to accommodate commerce,
lies channel, broad, straight and at least
three feet deeper than the main ship chan
mel, and yet totally unknown to anyone
outside of Cedar Key, and to but few there.
As good fortune directed, however, it had
attracted investigation, and had been sur
veyed by Mr.. JAS o. Andrews and Mr.. f.
f. Hale, who recorded their soundings and
preserved them. In this way was the pro
spective canal saved to Florida. In conse-
quence of the pronounced possibility of the
scheme, real estate is experiencing a decided
upward tendency, and talk of a POO room
hotel, and National Bank is frequent and
encouraging.

The Vatican Notified of Their Adhe-
sion to the Rescript.

sion to the Rescript.
LONDON. May "a dispatch from Rome
to the Chronicle says the Irish Bishops have
notified the Vatican of their adhesion to the
Papal rescript.
The Standard says that Mr. Parnelrs
disavowal of the plan of campaign has
offended section of his followers.
An address signed by 3, 730 dissenting
ministers was presented to Mr. Gladstone
today, expressing their sympathy with him
In his efforts to reconcile England and Ire
land
MODERATION OF THE PARNELLITES.
In reply to the address, Mr. Gladstone
said that during the present session the
Ialnelll6es, despite the pressing needs OF
Ireland, had refrained from urging their
claims, and had assisted the government
to expedite business. Whether or not Par
Lament was employed at this, or had given
time to discussing Ireland, it was Ireland
alone that truly held the key to legislation.
The government knew that the nation was
with home rule, and therefore guided the
affairs of Parliament so as to delay
the time when the Ministry would
be in power, pledged to propose home rule
for Ireland. The majority in the House of
Commons thought they could go on for
flve years. They put this against his life
dS du Ola man, but the lire OF an ola or
young man would not affect the final settle
ment [Cheers
JUSTICE INEVITABLE.
Justice would be done to ireland, and be-
fore long the national sentiment would find a
means to assert Itself The Tories plumed
themselves upon being the defenders Of law
and order. Instead of maintaining order,
the government had promoted murderous
breaches of law. Mr.. Parnell was as much
devoted to the maintenance of
law and order as anyone.
Neither he nor Mr.. Parnell vindicated the
plan of campaign. The governments con-
duct had created the plan Of campaign by
making the laws odious to the people. The
object of the government seemed to be to
insult, exasperate and degrade the Irish. AS
soon as the terrible facts regarding the suf-
fering in Ireland were brought home to the
upright minds of the people of England
they would unite to redress the sad errors
of the past. [Cheers.]

MISSING TREASURER TATE.
Inspector Byrnes Knows Where He
is, but Kentucky Doesn't Want Him.
From the Netc York Sun.

From the NetD York Sun.
LOUISVILLE, May 6.-Kentucky's State
Treasurer, James w. Tate, fled on March Is
with a gripsack full of money. He was
known as "Honest Dick Tate, !" and the news
of his fall created great furry in this
State The last heard of him was in Louis
vile, where he bought ticket to Cincin-
natl, and those whose duty it has been to
find him say that since then no trace of the
runaway has been found. In fact, no one
has endeavored to run him down.
Inspector Byrnes, of New York, has
located Tate III Canada. The first of last
week the Inspector telegraphed to Gov
Buckner indicating that Tate could be
found, ana asking particulars of the case
The Governor made no reply, and it is evil
dent that those in control of kentucky's
affairs do not want the absconding Treas
urer.
A resolution offered in the Legislature on
March 20, authorizing the Governor to offer
reward of $1,000 for Tate's arrest, was
dalied with for three weeks before 1t
passed both branches, and members of the
body frankly said that Dick Tate had
loaned so much money to friends that they
wanted to give him time to get out of the
way. On the day the Legislature ad-
journed a resolution was offered in the
Senate asking the Governor to pardon Tate,
that ne might come home and straighten
the tangled books. The fact that Tate
forged his books to make bis annual settle
ment leads to the belief that he can be ex-
tradited, and the reward of $1,000 still
stands Tates known shortage is little
over 5000 200, of which he took away about
$40, 900 with him
