A VERY general impression prevails
that the appeal of the State in the Neagle
case from the decision of the United
States Circuit Court to the United States
Supreme Court will result in no change
in the Interpretation given to the Federal
jurisdiction by Judges Sawyer and Sabin.
1t is. they say, like appealing from
Philip to Philip-the Macedonian in both
cases, however, being disgustingly sober
We do not share in this view. The
principle involved in this contention is too
important and too far-reaching for the
ultimate tribunal of the land
to lightly lend itself to a doctrine that
must tend to destroy the last vestige of
rights LEFT in the States to preserve their
authority. The construction placed upon
the powers of the Federal Courts in this
decision, if confirmed by the United
States Supreme Court, will give every
petty Government official an immunity
from local control that will lead to seri-
GUS friction between the State and Fed
eral systems. But there is q further
step in the direction Of autocratic power

taken in this Neag'e case by the Circuit
Court which cannot but cause alarm. The
court has not only determined the law
but the facts in this instance. In
other words the Judges have duties and
powers Of a jury, and tried the prisoner
as we'll as determined the law. This is
an absolute adjustment of the trial by
jury, something that the people of this
country are not prepared to permit by
arbitrary judicial decree. 1t is to be
regretted that the State failed in this
case to put in any testimony. The evil
dence adduced was entirely on the side
of the accused, and the facts will, there
fore. go up to the Supreme Court
altogether er parte. Many cir
cumstances could have been brought
cut, had the Attorney General gone
into the trial with the proofs avail
able, that would not place the case before
the Supreme Court in so favorable an
aspect for the defendant. What bearing
a different set of facts would have upon
the legal and constitutional questions in
volved, we are not prepared to say but
we are disposed to believe that the Su-
preme Court would be influenced to some
extent in its decision if all the facts on
both sides were properly before it.

The parties who have exerted them
selves to revive the Produce Exchange
in this city have been very successful in
their endeavors, and an organization has
been perfected that will commence active
operations at once. If the members OF
this new organization will carry out their
project on correct principles, it will &C.
complish great deal of good both in the
business and farming communities. But
if it be run in the interest of ciques and
selfish combinations for the mere pur.
pose of creating corners here and there
depressing prices unreasonably in some
instances, and initiating them extrava-
gantly in others, it will not be of any
benefit to any interest, The grand OBJ
ject Of the Board should be to encourage
produe ton by extending the scope of
our market and maintaining fair prices.
If this is done, and the producers are
treated on fair business principles, the
Exchange will be success and produc.
tive of great and positive benefit to our
city and the farming community. We
hope to see the new Board start out with
wide, liberal and correct business views.

IT is to be hoped that the tragical re-
suit of the late brutal fight at St. Louis
may lead TO halt in the craze for ring
exhibitions. The authorities of that city
have arrested the surviving pugilist and
those who oficiated at the "mill," as
well as a number of the prominent spec
tators. Ahern will be put on trial for
murder, and those who assisted at the
show will be tried as accessories. 1t is
about time that something should be
done to check these gladiatorial exhibit
tions. The vigorous steps taken in Mis-.
sissippi to vindicate the outraged law in
the fight between Sullivan and Kill
rain, and the determined action of the
St. Louis authorities in this last tragical
event, may lead public opinion all over
the country to put an end to these
brutal encounters. If the patrons Of
these exhibitions find that they can only
assist ct them even as spectators at the
risk Of arrest and exposure, they will be
apt to withhold their presence from
them, and as this would cease to make
them pay as speculation, they would
soon fall into desuetude. It is the gate
money that is in them which makes
them so rife.

Passed the Joke Along to the
Preacher.

The bonbonniere box is q part of the
summer resort girls regular equipment
this year. A Philadelphia girl was
recently victimized by a heartless brother
in this fashion:
It was at mountain resort. The party
that sat in one of the dark corners of the
hotel porch included the Philadelphis
girl, member of the Germantown
Cricket club, clerk in a Philadelphia
national bank, the middle-aged pastor of
a Philadelphia Baptist church, and the
wicked brother. The Philadelphia girl
passed her bonbonniere box with the
usual invitation to the cruel brother, who
sat on her right. The brother deity
transferred to the box handful OF small
and carefully selected pebbles taken that
morning from q brook with malice prs i.
pense, at the same time emptying the
toothsome little CONNECTIONS into his
other hand under the cover of the dark
ness. He then pretended to "help him
self" and passed the box to the cricket
athlete, who promptly bit one of the
pebbles but kept straight face and
passed the box right along. The bank
clerk put three stones in his mouth and
discovered the hoax, but Spartan like,
concealed the pebbles and passed the
box to the clergyman. The minister
had artificial teeth, and the dose was too
much for him. He gagged and removed
the stones, and then everybody but the
Philadelphia girl Uttered. The bank
clerk, the cricket bowler and the clergy
man are still wondering whether the
Philadelphia girl is much given to that
sort of joking.-Philadelphia Press.

The HERALD's very straightforward
exposition of the exorbitancy of the bid
for school desks, reported favorably upon
by the Committee on Supplies of the
Board of Education, was the subject OF
great deal of public comment yesterday.
The case Was 80 plain, and the design to
rob the city was shown up so clearly by
the figures, that everybody was aston
ished that so palpable scheme could
come 30 near succeeding as it did. It
showed that there is strong demand for
the exercise of shrewd business judg-
ment in the Board, and very close
scrutiny of all money propositions that
come before it. With the vast sums that
have been entrusted to this branch of the
city government to be expended in the
schools the next year, it is only rightthat
the people should exact from the Board
that honest care, circumspection and
business tact which they give to their
own private affairs. Nothing but the
closest scrutiny and the most untiring
vigilance will prevent schemers from
successfully putting up jobs on them to
fleece the city.

MILK Diet and How to Take II.

There are no small number of diseases
and arrangements in the treatment of
which it is infinitely better to restrict,
for time, the diet to milk. One natur.
ally becomes 'tired of it," and any
change, no mater how slight, is always
most agreeable. As variation in milk
diet the following has been recon-
mended: Heat one quart of milk with
one pound of sugar, and when the sugar
is dissolved continue to heat at boiling
temperature for about ten minutes. Now
cool it we'll land then add slowly stirring,
a solution Of one ounce of gelatine in a
cupful Of water. Next add the Juice of
three or four lemons and three wine.
glassfuls of wine, brandy or other liquor.
Set the glasses containing the mixture in
cold place, so that the contents may
gelatinize. It is necessary to have the
milk quite cold before the other inered-
tents are added, as it would otherwise
curdle.- Boston Herald.

AWFUL CATASTROPHE AT QUEBEC
Seven Houses Crushed by Falling
Rocks-Many People Killed
and Injured.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
QUEBEC, September 19.-Tonight sew
eral thousand tons of rock slid from Cape
Diamond, at the end of the Dufferin ter
race, to Champlain street, 800 feet below,
demolishing in it's course seven dwell
ings. Up to midnight six bodies have
been taken from the ruins-Thomss
Farrell and two Of his children; also tive
children named Burke and one unknown
child. Farreli's mother-iu-law, named
Allen, and her husband are still in the
ruins. About twenty-five persons
have been removed from, the debris
badly injured. Some have broken arms
and legs, and others are badly crushed
and mutilated. 1t is supposed that at
least fifty persons are yet under the
ruins. The debris covers the road in
solid mass, some 300 feet in length and
from fifteen to twenty-five feet high. It
is impossible to say at present how many
are dead and wounded. Everybody is
working heroically, and under difficult
ties, as the night is intensely dark and
the electric light wires have been PROS
trated.
Cries of "Help! help" are heard from
beneath the debris, but no help can be
given. Very little progress is made in
recovering bodies, owing to the stipend
GUS mass of rock covering the ruin. The
body of a woman, named Mrs. Harrison,
has just been pulled out Of the debris.
More rocks are falling, and it is feared
the whole boulder forming the highest
point Of Quebec will give way.
QUEBEC, September 20, l q. m.-The
mass Of rock detached from the cliffs side
left a vacant space Of extraordinary d.
mansions under Dufferin terrace, and
that great promenade is now unsafe.
Thirteen corpses and sixteen wounded
have now been taken out. The pecuni-
airy damage will be large. A force Of 600
men is now working Oh the debris.

Mr.. A. F. KERCHEvAL informs us that
orders are coming in from the northern
part of the State for the vedolia. The
agent of L. L. Robinson has sent for q
colony to place upon his trees in La
Medona, near Cornwall, Contra Costa
county, and several colonies have also
been forwarded to Fresno. He says he
has only found one instance in which the
parasite will not attack the scale, and
that is at Col. Griffin's place in East Los
Angeles. 1t has destroyed the pest on
all his trees and strawberries excepting
those on g Japanese white
dahlia tree. These it could not
be made to attack, probably
on account of some noxious exhalation
from the flowers. The Bug Commits
sioners are about to try experiments to
secure the vedolia from exhaustion by
the absence of their natural prey when
it has become extirpated in places. 1t
is suggested that they can be sustained
upon fresh beef, ard if so that would be
. valuable fact to know. 1t lie possible
that the parasites for want Of food may
suddenly disappear, and that the scale
pest may again spread in the absence of
its enemy. Some certain means by
which the stock can be preserved against
eny accident that NAV arise would be of
the first importance to our orange in
'srest.

We London .sPromoter.,

In looking over one of the London pa
pers recently, our attention was attracted
to Q column Of loaded matter urging
English inves tors to buy stock in large
American brewery property that had
been purchased, capitalized and placed
upon the market in the shape of shares.
The article was fathered by q leading
London broker firm, and it set forth in
the most alluring and roseate colors the
advantages to investors Of placing their
money in this stock. It declared that
two American breweries (naming them)
were paying from 16 to 80 psr
cent. upon their capitalized stock,
and that all who should purchase shares
in this new concern would, in the Ian
guage of DIR. Samuel Johnson's famous
advertisement of the Thrale brewery,
have their money invested in business
whose potentialities would enable them
to grow rich beyond the dreams of
avarioe. The particular brewery which
these promoters are putting upon the
stock market is perhaps paying some
thing like the interest stated, but not
upon an inflated capital stock of the
dimensions it would present after having
gone through the mapipulations of the
London promoter. We have seen in the
L. ]. Rose vineyard case that the property
had actually been inflated from $500, 900
to 81, 750, 900 in the process of passing
through the hands of the promoters and
brokers before it reached the innocent
investor in its capitalized stock. After
tie brewery in question has gone through
this process, it will be marvel if the
stockholders realize any more from their
shares than has been realized from the
Rose property. There was considerable
patriotic growing at the start against the
sweeping manner in which English syn.
dicates were buying up Ameri'
can breweries. But now that we
know how these syndicates are
manipulated, we need have nc
fear that We shall have to change OH
foaming American lager to "bitter Brit.
ish beer" A part-snd not large part
of the money subscribed by confdine
Englishmen to their brokers will find
it's way hereto purchase the properties
That will remain with us, and in a few
years the companies will collapse. The
English investor will have bought his
experience and we shall still have the
breweries. We see that an American
syndicate has been organized to counter
act the effect of the English absorption
of American breweries. There is nc
need of it. The gay and festive English
broker and promoter will do that for US
and the Britisher who has parted witt
his money will soon find himself with 6
few shares of worthless stock as the re-
suit of placing faith in the representa-
tions of the rosy advertisements and the
tempting lying of his "fy" countrymer
on change.
