The arrest of Nlessrs. Hoge and Murphy
chairmen respectively of the Grievance Com
mittecs of the Brotherhoods Of Engineers ana
Firemen, is step that would undoubtedly not
have been taken without due consideration ana
unless reasonable evidence duplicating them
had been secured. The letter they are charged
with sending out furnishes prima facle eVl-
dence of their connection with conspiracy 70

pany in n spirit of vindictiveness. They deny
all connection with it, and there the matter
stands for the present. 1t passes belief that
officers Of these organizations can nave failed
to see the stupidity and criminality OF such
plots not TO speak of the instant discredlt that
would fall upon the Brotherhoods IN case OF
discovery. The Brotherhocds themselves should
take immediate steps to get at the truth and
remove the stigma that attaches to them.

Our friends the enemy, it appears. have taken
mr advice and decided to keep away from

that they had no intention OF locating their
National Committee headquarters, or any part
of it, in indianapolis. Very good. Ii they
bad made General HarrisOn's home the centre
of their operations, they would soon have
found cause to repent doing so. They have
concluded to stick to New York, which is
much more agreeable place for the campaign
managers to pass the summer and autumn In A;
and besides, the Republicans will be here to
keep them company and to make things lively
for them as well.

Mr.. Parnelrs Tory adversares will not succeed
in bullying him into a libel suit. The legal
expenses would cost him fortune; and he has
not fortune to waste in court where the
sympathcs Of iurv-boX and bench would be
against him. II Mr.. Parnell be innocent, say his
enemies, he is under moral obligations to estab-
llsh the fact in the courts lie is under no such
obligations, If he be convinced that he cannot
expect justice and fair play from those courts Mr.
Davitt meets the Tory challenge properly Let
the Government prosecute Mr.. parncll as an
accessory to the Phoenix Park murders, if it

The vote on Mr. Dingley's amendment to the
Mills bill providing for a reduction of fifty per
cent in the duty on sugar was good test Of the
insincerity Of the Democratic tariff reformersn
Following the Presidents lead, they have been
clamoring for months for relief from burdens i'm
posed on the necessares of life and for emanc-
patton from the greed Of the manufacturing trusts
When they were challenged to cut down the duties
on sugar, an article of universal consumption
they voted against it TO a man. At the same
time the fact wrung from their leaders that
they had been in secret consultation with Mr..
lIavemeyer, chief representative Of the Sugar
Trust and had arranged matters TO suit him.
If they had been sincere in their protestations
Of solictude for the poor mans breakfast table,
they would have taken off one-half of the duty
sugar. BY that eXpedient alone they would
have reduced the surplus revenues one-half.. They
favored neither one thing nor the other and
only too happy to take their orders from the
Sugar trusts.

The Republican Clubs began to assemble in
Saratoga yesterday and all the indications
point to a large and successful convention.
The reports already in show that 81 clubs
will be represented. Not nearly all the clubs
in the State are members Of the State League
and il is proposed to change the terms of adj
mission in order to bind them all in one vast
organization. There are likely to be so many
Republicans in Saratoga that two mass-meet-

An Explanation.

What is this "nervous trouble with
which so many seem now to be afflicted =?
If you will remember Il few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively un-
known,-to day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forelathers in times
past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called liiliuusness,
and all are caused hv troubles that arise
from diseased condition Of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
You who are suffering can well appre-
a cure. We recommend Green's August
Flower. Its cures are marvellous.

themselves strongly-take posses
sion, in fact. Another seven years
and the priggishness of great
uncle, the stiEginess of am aunt, or
he dullness, in books, of rural
grandfather. Then, in keeping with
the next two turns of the Lock, he
falls in love with every new face he
sees, marries early and indulges him
self recklessly in large family. He
is an exemplary husband and father,
as men so, an ideal business man,
and Il general favorite in society.
Everybody remarks upon the fav-
orable change since his stupid, prig-
gish college days. All this time
through every change, he has been
honorable and upright in his deal
ings with his fellows. Suddenly the
Time Lock of a thievish ancestor is
turned on; he finds temptation too
..ong for even that greatly under
estimated power-the force of habit
OF lifetime-and the trust funds in
his keeping disappear with him to
Canada. Everybody is surprised,
shocked, pained-and he, no doubt,
more so than anyone else. Emo
tional insanity is offered as a posi-
BILE explanation by the charitable
long-headed, calculating, intentional
rascality, by the severe or self-right-
eous. And he? Well, he is wholly
unable to account for it at all. He
tnoleS that he had not lived all these
years as a conscious, self lfcontrolled
thief He knoloS that the tempta-
tions of his past life had never be-
fore taken that particular form. He
knoloS that the impulse was sudden,
binding, overwhelming but he does
not know why and how. 1t was
like an awful dream. He seemed
to be powerless to overcome it. The
Time Lock had turned without his
knowledge, and in spite of himself.
The unknown, unheard-of Thievish
Ancestor took possession, as it were,
through force of superior strength
and ability-and then it was his
hour. The hereditary shadow on
the dial had come around to him.
The great-uncle's hour was past.
He, no doubt, was turned on" to

spectacle, highly-honored, and here

While the officers OF the German army
have bent their inventive energies to the
construction Of a practical air ship for war
purposes the French naval Office has not
been idle and it has achieved success in
Ike direction. The former have carefully
guarded their secret Not SO the French. It
now leaks out that on July II balloon expert
ments were made in the harbor OF Toulon, on
board Of the floating battery Implacable, By
the inventor, Lieut.. Serpatte In the presence
of Admiral Amet and large staff of naval
and military officers. The balloon had q
circumference of $40 metres, was IIled with
gas made on board Of the vessel and held
captive by a thin steel rope.
The special invention Of Lieut.. Serpetts
consists in new method of ballasting the
car by which ascent and de~cent are exactly
regulated, and in the practical application of
direct teiephonic communication between the
aeroDaut and not only the officers OF the ship
from which the balloon ascends, but also
with those Of an entire feet. Three ascen-
sions to the height of $50 metres were made
by the lieutenant and professional asronaut.
At the second and third ascensions the I'm

highest speed. The results were satisfactory.

distance of twenty nautical miles the ap-

ARE THEY EVER CUREOi
Patients in an Insane Asylum-A Very
Serious Question.

Patients in an Insane Asylum-A Very
Serious Question.
The question recently raised by ex-
patients Of an insane asylum, whether
sane people are ever kept there after cure
because cruel relatives will not take the
legal measures necessary to get them out,
has caused good deal of talk. Every
village has its unfortunate, who IS
pointed sat as whilom mailman or mad
woman. a terrible name it is to bear,
too, for never can come the day, this side
of the grave, when he who has once been
into the dark valley is safe against pos
sible return. BE is always subject of
suspicion ard knows it, and il to this
knowledge Is added the belief that he was
locked up wrongfully his position is
doubly CALLING.
a reporter asked young doctor who
has served his time in the asylum wheth
er sane people were ever kept there when
they ought to be at liberty.
THAT is very delicate question" he
said, "end very hard to answer. The
dividing line between sanity and insanity
is very narrow and very faint sometimes,
and it is a very delicate matter to say
when a person has crossed it. Some
times q patient will be Jolly and appa-
rently sane for months an, then sud
denly fall bach into the depths-perhaps
into the dangerous stage-of lunacy. It
may be laid down as q safe rule that
man who has been once insane may be-
come so again. especially if worried and
fretted, and facts like these must enter
into any discussion of the question you
have asked.
Now it frequently happens here, as at
all aSylums, that a patient reaches the
state so close to cure that it would be
hard to say that he was not ell right. lie
begins to fret over his confinement, and if
he could be taken out and not worried with
the cares which invariably accompany q
battle with the world, he would be far
better off. perhaps, than under the nag
ging influence of the bolts and bars,
which he knows in an asylum stand be-
tween him and liberty. To send such
man out into the world and compel him to
fight for himself would be cruel. Nine
times out of ten he would be back again
very soon, and much the worse for hav
ing left the asylum. Now that Is the
class of cases which has undoubtedly
been brought to public attention. and
some Of them are sad enough. | will say
this: that if the medical staff of an asy-
lum is satisfied that patient is thor
oughly cured-cured so well that he or
she can face the strain Of 4 battle with
life-no heartless relatives would be able
to keep that patient imprisoned"
But how about inebriate patients2"
asked the reporter,
Well, they are a sort Of exception to
the rule" said tho doctor. Many q
man is kept in an asylum who is perfectly
sane who, if he were allowed the liberty
of the outside world, would be sure TO
drink to excess. The insanity of drink is
in him. Such a man, l think. Is better
behind asylum walls. New York World.

CURIOUS MARRIAGE CUSTOMS
Among the People of the New Britain

Among the People OF the New Britain
GroUE-Ronantic Ceremony.
At the meeting of the British association
ct Bath, the Rev. B. Danks read q paper on
"Marriage Customs CT the New Britain
Group" He said that for marriage pur-
poses the people of New Britain are divided
into two classes or divisions. No man may
marry a woman of bis own class. To do so
would bring instant destruction upon the
woman, and, if not immediate death to the
man, his life wouE never be secured Pre-
parations for marriage are various On
Duke of York island, initiation into the Sc
cret society, which is called Dukduk, seems
a sufficient preparation Though not ALSO
lutely necessary to marriage, for the boys
and there appears to be no needful prepara-
ton for the girls. On New Ireland some
girls wear a fringe across their shoulders
until they are nlarriageable. These are the
poorer class
Others are put into cages, il which they
remain four Or five years without being al
lowed to so outside the houses in which they
are confined. These cages are conical
structures about or s feet in height and
about 10 or II feet in circumference at the
bottom and about four feet from the
ground, where they taper OF to point at
the top. They are made of the broad leaves
of the pandanIs tree, sewn quito close to-
gether so that no light and very little air
can enter. On one side is an opening which
is closed by double door of plated cocoa
mt tree and pandauus tree leaves. About
three feet from the ground there is q stage
Of baInbOOs, which forms che f4oor. There IS
only room for the girl to sit or lie down IN
cr0ucaed position on the bamboo plat
form, and her feet are never allowed 20
touch the ground all the time she is CON
fined in the cage. Great marriage feasts are
provided for these girls when they are taken
out of the cages
Wives are purchased with shell money,
