Rev. DR.. Storrs, the famous Congre.
gational divine, is the victim of new
kind of forgery. In a recent "syndi-
cate" article on smoking, which ap-
peared in a number of newspapers,
there was brief contribution on the
question from DR.. Storrs, who said that
"each man, who feels himself response
BILE to the Master, must judge for him.
SELF in applying the general Christian
rule of self restraint and the avoidance
of offence" To this statement of his
opinion, which was signed by his name,
someone added, as if the words had
also been written by DR.. Storrs, "fol
myself find material help from a cigar
when engrossed in study" In public
card DR.. Stoors repudiates these last
words as having been written wholly
without his cognizance and authority
He adds that, if somebody had altered
his check, the law would have had
something to say to the offender, and
he feels that this offence sis hardly less
deserving of severe condemnation"

DIR. Edison, of the New York Health
Board, reported on Monday that there
were eight cases of influenza in one
family in that city. The disease is said
to be the same as that which has spread
over Europe. The first victim, young
lady, was taken down on Thursday
last. 1t is supposed that she contracted
the disease from family who returned
from Europe about ten days ago. Her
first symptom was vertigo, speedily fol
lowed by headache and chills. Then
she became deathly sick, with pains in
her limbs and muscles. This was sue
ceeded by bronchial catarrh, soreness
of the throat and coughing, followed by
high fever and an exceedingly rapid
pulse, which at times reached 100 to
the minute. Since then seven othe,
members of the family have been at
tackled by the disease. In all the cases
the symptoms are said to be identical.
The health officers say they are not
surprised at its appearance here. 1t is
not dangerous, but if it tends to be-
come epidemic all cases will be quaran-
tined. The treatment is the spraying
of the affected membrane freely and
frequently with solution of quinine,
and the internal administration of qui-
nine, belladona and camphor.

Speaking of the Civil Service law and
the threatened efforts of its enemies to
obstructitb by Withholding appropriations
if they cannot secure its repeal, Senator
ingalls, says: "The appropriation for
the Civil Service Commission will be
made as usual. Both parties are pledged
to its support, and l do not see how
they could act otherwise. | do not
think the law will ever be repealed. In
principle the law is erroneous. 1t is
foreign to our political system, and
distinct tendency toward monarchism
and aristocracy departure from in
dividualism and democracy in govern
ment, and our idea OF responsibility,
which controls all our system. 1t in
PRODUCES permanent and fixed class,
and results logically in civil service
pension list, and, while it may be an
improvement on former methods, it
will not be so much reform as it will
be a revolution.
"The law should be modified in this
direction, and with such a modification
think l should give it my adherence,
by the introduction of fixed term of
service, like that which is provided for
postmasters, Representatives, Senators
and the President of the United States"
Senator Harris, who may be properly
termed one of the leaders on the Dem
ocratic side, said on the same subject
PERSONALLY l have regarded the Civil
Service act as absurd, Impractical and
wholly unnecessary, and the practice
under it an embarrassment in the trans
action Of public business. | have
never favored 1t, do not favor it now,

don't like the idea of Withholding ap-
preparations from the Commission, and
would prefer to vote directly for the re-
peal of the law.

There was a long and fruitless fight
in the u. S. Senate on Tuesday alter
noon over the confirmation of the nom
nation OF Judge Brewer to the Supreme
Bench. The nomination came before
the Senate with a favorable report from
the Judiciary Committee. 1t was at
once sntagonized by Senator Call and
other Democrats. The opposition con-
cenrated their arguments on Judge
Brewers Leavenworth decision, In which
ne held that compensation must be
awarded to owners OF property destroy
ed or rendered valuless under prohibi-
tory legislation. This decision was
subsequently reversed by the Supreme
Court, which handed down their opinion
that any State had the power to abate
nuisance, 1t was commended by sew
eral Senators that the position taken by
Judge Brewer on prohlbitorv legislation
Incorporated him for future judicial de-
termination of cognate questions. After
| an hour and half's debate a motion
to adjourn was made and carried.
| The nomination, therefore, went over.
This was taken by the opponents of
| Judge Brewer as an indication of fear
on the part of his friends that the nom-
| nation could not be confirmed if push
ed. 1t is probable, Notwithstanding,
that confirmation will be had at the
next executive session. A complication
has arisen, however, which is giving
much disquletude to the friends Of
Judge Brewer. Senators Moody and
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, have re-
ceived kilograms announcing that sub,
sequent to Judge Brewers receipt Of
his nomination, he appointed Kansas
man as Clerk of the United States Dis
trict Court of Dakota. Senator Pierce
of North Dakota, was also in receipt o.
a despatch announcing the appointment
of Nebraska clerk for the Fedora
Court of North Dakota. The four Sen.
ators threaten executive vengeance i
| the appointments are not cancelled anc
residents of the State are not appointed
in their stead.

In the course of human events the
Cronin trial has come to as ignominious
| an end, as its proceedings have been
marked by disgracetul sensauonalism.
| A brutal and repulsive murder in all
it's features, it is difficult to understand
why those concerned in its preparation
were either not wholly guilty and there
lore deserving of death the utmost
penalty of the law, or on the other hand
| if innocent, were not absolutely &C
! quilted. One of them, however, is
wholly acquitted, another is sentenced
10 three years imprisonment, while three
others are condemned to imprisonment
for life as guilty of murder IN the first
degree. This last finding of the jury
is simple mockery Of justice, for the
annals of crime in this country do not
furnish case in which the killing was
more brutal and deliberate and for
which the only adequate punishment is
the hangman's rope.
But as has been we'll said by a CO.
temporary, only the fact that the muir
| der of DR.. Cronin has elements of i'm
portance to the whole country, has pre-
vented the American people from be-
coming disguised with 1t long ago.
These were the limitations on the one
hand that DIR. Cronin was removed"
because he was British spy" giving
away the secrets of one OF the "patri-
otto" Irish societies opposed by the
| direct accusations of the other faction
that he was assassinated because of his
efforts to expose the alleged theft OF
hundreds of thousands of dollars from
| the munifcent funds contributed by
the American people in aid of the en-
REIMBURSEMENT of Ireland. These were
| the charges and counter charges of the
| two factions into which a considerable
body Of the Irish societies are split OF
the two factions which appear to be
fighting each other to the death.
1t was Of large interest for the Amer
lean people to know whether or not
it was true that their munihcent bene
factions in aid of the cause of the Irish
people were being stolen or squandered
by professional patriots" for "revenue
only'-and it was in the highest de-
gree important for them to know
whether or not it was true that there
actually do exist in this country secret
Irish societies, so banded and bound
by oaths as to hold secret trials and
condemn men to assassination by
"Thugs" after the fashion of the "Mol-
lie Maguires" who terrorized our an
thracite coal region fifteen years ago.
These are matters of supreme conse-
quence, and these have given the
wretched Cronin trial proceedings the
tolerance they have had before the
general public /; but it must be doubted,
after all has been said and done,
whether we have learned much that can
be turned to profitable account as to
what has become of the hundreds of
thousands of money or the alleged
bands OF secret assassins. The two
only things we do know are that DR..
Cronin was most cruelty murdered, and
that thus far his murderers have not
been condemned to punishment at all
commensurate with the heinous nature
of their crime.
