There is an advantage in being the son Of
ones father after all. Word comes that Mr..
Lincoln, the new American minister, has
been very cordially received in London, and
has entered upon what promises to be a
brilliantand successful career He has al
ready been overrun with callers, and society
is reported to be making ready to lionize him.
Mr.. Lincoln no doubt has qualities of his own
that render him worthy this attention and
his position as American minister gives him
the position where these qualities may be
appreciated. Yet nine Englishmen out of
ten, probably, are attracted to him, not be-
cause he is Mr.. Robert T. Lincoln of Chica-
go, nor yet because he is the envoy of the
Great Republic; but because he is the son of
Abraham Lincoln.

The opinion of the English Conservatives
that the Clan-na Gael, now brought into
prominence by the murder of DR.. Cronin, in
stigated and carried out the dynamite out
RACES in England, was combatted by Mr..
Parnell in his recent testimony before the
Special Commission. The report of the At
torney Generals cross-examination of Mr..
Parnell contains this passage:
Question. You have stated that you did not be-
lieye the dynamite outrages originated with
Answer No; he only talked about them.
@. Then, If he only talked about them, do not
you think they came from the Can-na-Gaei?
A. No; think not.
Q. Then whom do you think they did come
from?
A. From scattered organizations in America
from time TO- time, probably acting in ignorance
OF each others movements.
Perhaps DR.. Cronin crossed the tracks of
some Of the members of one of these "scat-
tered organizations" The method of his
taking off was horrible enough, certainly, to
justify such a suspicion.

The symptoms of Biliousness are un
happily but too well known. They differ in
different individuals 20 some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom IA breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in

furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be

are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or fiatulence and tenderness in

remedy, applied TO the leaves with a

the absence OF the bellows the hand can

MRS. MAVERICK WILL NOT HANG.

A Conference at which 1t Is Said to Have
Been Decided TO Commute Her Sentence.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-Home Secretary Mat
thews. MI. Justice Stephen, the Lord Chan
cellor and medical experts to-day held a
conference at the Home Office with a view
to arriving at a decision in the Maybrick
case. The conference lasted four hours. 1t
is regarded as a certainty that the Home
Office is in doubt, and it is believed that
the result of deliberations must necessarily
be a pardon or a communication of sentence.
The Press Association states that Home
Secretary Matthews will to the
Queen the communication of the death sen
tence of Mrs. Maybrick to penal servitude
for life. and that the communication of SEN
tence Will be announced after the Queen
has given formal assent.
1t Is pointed out here as an indication OF
the result of to-day's conference on the
May brick case that the Lord Chancellor
who took part in it is rarely consulted ex-
cept In cases where a reprieve is meditated.
There is excellent reason for believing that
Dir. Matthews and the others engaged with
him In going over the evidence given at the
trial, began their work with the assump-
ton that Mrs. Maybrick was not guilty OF
the deliberate murder of her husband:
With this idea they sifted every scrap OF
evidence, and noted especially the testi-
mony showing Maybrick's craving for ar
ssenic, to which they are inclined to attach
much more Importance than the jury appear
to have given it. This testimony, 1t is be-
Eeved. will turn the scale in favor of the
condemned woman.
The conference at the Home Office to-day,
in the Maybrick case. was chiefly occupied
In determining the best means of showing
clemenrcy to the condemned without Offend
ing the dignity of Judge stephen, whose
stand in support of the Justice of the YER
dict remains uncompromising. There is no
doubt now that Mrs, MAVERICK will not be
allowed to hang. but to what extent the
power of the Queen Will be exerted in her
behalf is still uncertain.
Eighty-eight members of the House of
Iommons ave signed the memorial In be-
: half of Mrs. Maybrick.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Aug. 16.-Americans who have
watched the futile attempts to introduce
the cooperative principle in their own
country, and who have seen cooperative
workshops in different branches of indus
try, one after another, started only to lam
guish and die. can scarcely conceive the
rapid strides the principle is making in
England. Indeed, there are few English
men who will not be surprised at the mag
nificent display when the exhibition of CO.
operative products is thrown open at the
Crystal Palace tomorrow. The high stand
ard of excellence attained in the work ex-
hibited ought not to be surprising when
it is understood that only the best artisans.
and the most intelligent. can take part in
these cooperative movements. but that no
less than sixteen hundred separate estab-
Ishments. organized on this ,princi-
Pie; should be represented, and cred
TO those who have been speaking of
cooperation as still an experiment. These
establishments. some of them very extern
sive and employing capital to the amount
oil many Thousand pounds, are engaged IN
nearly two hundred distinct trades or oc-
cupations. and are already dangerous COM
petitors OF the individual enterprises. The
exhibition. by opening the eyes of work
ingmen themselves to what has been ac-
complished and what may be accomplished
by cooperation, is expected to give an i'm
mense Impetus to the movement. There is
a growing feeling among the better class
of social reformers in England that the
future of the wage-workers and their
rescue from their present intolerable con-
dition must come through cooperation. and
as this feeling spreads among the working
men themselves, the doctrines of socialism.
revolution and anarchy lose their charm.
A festival of labor will be held i'll connec-
tion with the exhibition, at which f5OO will
be distributed in prizes TO workmen. An

Descent Into the Grand Canyon.

81 LOUIS GlODe-Democrat.
81 went to the bottom of the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado last winter" said W.T..
Hart, land am one of the few men who
ever attempted the descent. l went there
to examine a mine said to exist in the bot
tom of the canyon. l have been all through
the Rockies. from Montana to Central
America. and know what a chasm is. but
the sight of that abyss took my breath
away. From the top to the bottom it is
full 5000 feet. Over a mile below you can
see the river tearing through the gorge, but
not a sound can be heard, it is SO far away.
From one bank to the other it is, apparently,
not over a quarter of a mile, but, as a mat
ter of fact, it is fully nineteen miles. My
guide told me L would never be able to
reach the bottom, but | was determined to
go, and i went. 1t was a terrible climb,
and it took us eight hours to reach
the bottom. 1t is certainly. the most
desolate place in the world. There is not a
living there-no insects, reptiles
or animals of any kind. Everything is alb
solutely dead The mining prospect was
worthless. Before the sun was up next
morning we were OH our way out, and it
took us until 10 o'clock hat night to climb
the wall of the %canyOn.D
