TIE CRONIN VERDICT.

That was a courageous jury in Chicago
which presented the verdict in the CRoSlE
assassination case The verdict not only
attacked the greatest Irish society IN
America. the Clan-na-Gael, but assailed all
secret associations whose objects are
similar to that of the association named
1t denounced them as being injurious &c
American institutions. 1t takes courage
for men to present such an Indictment IN
the face of the fact that the societies OF
the class denounced, directly or in
directly. are so influential in the
affairs of this nation. 1t would
be well if Americans generally were
to take pointer from this Chicago verdict
and make war on all those societies and
associations which have for their objects
the achievement of results by other than
legitimate and lawful methods. It is scan
dalous Observation-Disclosures these Infamous
agitators and permits them to use this
country as the headquarters for their
scoundrelly schemes and conspiracies.
1t may not be true that the Clan ma Gael,
as an organization or brotherhood, ordered
the assassination of DR.. CRoNIN,
but Git will hardly be denied
in the light Of developments already made,
that his death was the result of a conspir-
acy by members of the association. He
was murdered because he was offensive to
certain leaders of the Clan. The facts
which have come out in the case are sufi-
Gent to strike a serious blow in America
to the Irish cause, and a more serious one
to the ugly secret societies which employ
methods and engage in undertakings which
will not bear the light of day. The public
will be the gamer if the exposure shall be
so complete as to make American soil
dangerously unhealthy for all such asso-
Citations.

A HALSTEAD RUMoR.

Editor MURAT HALsTEAD, the gentleman
whose nomination to the German mission
was rejected by the Senate last March, is
in Berlin regaining lost health and looking
over the ground he expected to see through
official eyes. A dispatch from the German
capital says that in the autumn, on the re
assembling of Congress, Mr. HALsTEAD
will be renominated in spite of the Senate's
rejection. and that the gentleman is so con-
fdent of confirmation that it is probable he
will remain abroad until the Senate has
acted on his nomination again. We don't
believe MIR. HALsTEAD inspired this dis
patch. The gentleman is rank partisan,
but he is as well man of more
than ordinary common sense and
political wisdom. Having been rejected
once he is not so verdant as to believe the
same Senate win reverse its former action
and confirm his nomination. There IS not
the slightest indication that the opposing
Republican Senators have changed their
minds. and to assume that they viii aban
don their hostile attitude is 70 assume that
they acted like children who didn't know
their own minds. There is this, also, to be
said against the proposition that Mr.. Hal
sTBAp's name will again be sent TO the Sen
ate: Instead of kindlier and more sub
missive disposition towards the President,
the Republican Senators are more disposed
10 make war on the head of the
administration, and they would ask no
better occasion TO open the ball than the
sending to them Of a name they had once
rejected. They would take advantage of
the opportunity TO rebuke the President in
a most emphatic and unmistakable manner,
and TO give him notice that he could not
brow beat or bulldoze them.
Mr.. HALsTEAp is clever, capable
gentlemen, and his countrymen generally
would have been rather proud than other
wise if he had received the coveted office,
but having been rejected, and by his own
party, he should not insist upon being again
kicked

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN.

The Democratic National committee met
in New York, and at once elected Colonel
CALVIN S. BRICE chairman to succeed the
late Senator WILLIAM H. BARNUN. rms
choice will not be satisfactory to certain
element of the party. Editor DANA, of the
New York Sun, who, it is presumed must
still be classed among the Democrats, VIII
not be pleased. We fear that grand old
man. ALLAN G. THURMAN, will not take
kindly to the selection; and there are some
others of more or less influence who Will
protest. But the great majority OF the
Democrats will appla I'd the choice most
heartily, and with hope and in cheerful
ness accept the new leadership as the
wisest and best that could have been made.
Colonel BRICE was head of the campaign
committee last year, and his management
won the admiration of the multitude, while
his personal generosity proved degree OF
earnestness and enthusiasm which IS
rarely developed. That the ticket was de-
feated was no fault of his. He did his ut
most to win. He did all that any man
could have done, and much more than the
CAREERS and fault-finGers would have been
able TO accomplish He didn't conduct
things to suit DANA and the latter spltefully
snarled rainbow chaser at his heels
Judge THURMAN was mad because BRICE
did not send more money into Ohio, but
BRICE had no money to waste He realized
that. as the boys say, ''nears' don't count
on election day. It would have been of no
avail to the Democracy TO reduce the Re
publican majority in Ohio one-half, and
any cool headed man knew that the state
could not be carried by the Democrats. 1t
would. therefore. have been foolish TO
spend the money among the Buckeyes
which was so much needed in the doubtful
states.
There is encouraging significance in this
selection. First, itplaces at the head Of the
national Democracy an active, capable and
earnest man who is devoted to his party;
and. second, it is notice to the country that
the committee is in harmony with the pc
sition occupied by the Democracy in the
last campaign. Colonel BRICE is consci-
entious tariff reformer, standing squarely
on the platform occupied by GROVER CLEvE-
LAND and the other great Democrats.
Placing the colonel at the head OF the ma
tional committee means that the battle is
to be fought out on the line laid down, that
line being war on protected monopolies, on
high taxes. on the boarding of idle money
in the treasury and on legislation in the
interest Of the rich against the poor.
General BARNUN, the late chairman of
the national committee was good man
and Colonel BRIcE is a worthy successor.
The affairs If the Democracy are in good
hands while Colone, BRICE is at the helm.

JOHNSTOWN AND SEATTLE.

It was highly proper for Governor
THOMAS to suggest division of the relief
fund between the Conemaugh valley and
the Seattle sufferers, and It was wise
thing for the contributors to approve the
proposition as they did so heartily at the
concert on Tuesday evening. Two mighty
disasters, both calling for the exercise OF
community charity, rarely come upon
people atthe same time. In the midst of
our earnest efforts in behalf Of the food
sufferers, came a less mighty yet awful
second appeal to the humanity and gener-
osity of our natures, the victims of fire now
addressing US. 1t is no discredit to our
people to say that an appeal to
them in behalf of Seattle, after they had
given so freely OF their substance to Johns
town, would have met with comparatively
barren results. The response could not
have been as generous as any OF US would
have desired, for the few who always do
the most in matters of this kind had al
ready taxed themselves literally, in many
instances all they could afford to give even
in so worthy cause. To approach them
second time before they had time to begin
to recover, would have gotten response
in which little pride could have been felt.
In the magnitude of the two disasters
that of Washington territory is insignifi-
cent as compared with the Conemaugh
food: but the Seattle sufferers demand a
portion of our sympathy, and we are glad
ready way was found to permit them to
have their equitable share of the substan-
tial charity which Salt Lake is expressing
to the afflicted communities Of the nation.
Furthermore, the entire republic and the
people of other lands are eagerly doing for
the Pennsylvania sufferers, whose wants
will be provided for out of the millions of
money and valuables which have been pour
ing in such generous streams for ten
days past Only the suffering which
money cannot prevent, and which must be
arranged by time, will affiict the Johnstown
victims after few days, when the relief
distribution arrangements shall be per
fected Seattle must look largely TO what
NAV be called the immediate neighborhood
for succor and comfort in her hour OF
distress. The west will have to do most
for Seattle, whose affection is not of such
a character as to excite the substantial
sympathy of civilized people everywhere,
as in the case of the flooded district.
Salt Lake has done wisely in equitably
apportioning her contributions to afflicted
humanity.

who has made money for Mr.. SULLIVAN as

An Indolent Organ.

When the liver is indolent, as it must
necessarily be when it fails to secrete the
bile in sufficient quantities to meet the re-
auirements of digestion and evacuation, it
should be set at work with Hostetter's
Stomach bitters. The healthful stimulus
TO activity impaired by this incompatible
Alternative, speedily evinces itself in de-
parture OF the uncomfortable sensation in
the right side; the nausea; fur upon the
tongue; indigestion, and sick headache CON
sequent upon sinactivity of the liver
and the diversion of the bile
from its proper channel. Irregu-
lality of the bowels is always
and painlessly reformed by the corrective
indicated, which is infinitely TO be preferred
both because it is safe and more eficacious,
to blue pill, calomel and drenching purga-
tives of every class. Itcures and prevents
fever and ague, and rheumatism.

A Joke on tho Minister.

Ministers, as rule, are as fond of
a good joke as other people, no matter
whether they are the joker or the victim.
One evening when Mrs. Van Colt was
holding revival meetings in ST. Paul, a
party of ministers, including Rev. DR..
Dewart, of the Bates avenue church,
were present, and, in response to a re-
quest by Mrs. Van Colt, gave experience
talks" The Bates avenue minister was
the only one who failed to respond, and
was made the subject of remarks from
the pulpit, the lady not knowing that
DR.. Dewart was also minister. Finally
she came down from the pulpit and,
standing directly over him, said: young
man, unless you repent of your sins and
walk in the narrow path, your soul will
be forever lost" Seeing that she was
laboring under misapprehension, the
reverend gentleman good naturally lis
tened to the e1hortations, while his MIN
isterial brethren were almost forced to
laugh outright. Noticing the broad
smiles, Mrs. Van Colt suspected the
truth and returned to the pulpit. After
the services agood laugh was INDUCED
in.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Trouble with the Grammarians.

A writer in The Christian World sends
up this little rocket to shed light upon
the confusion existing in the minds Of
many very well educated people in re-
gard to the use of the two words ''sit"
and "set"-a confusion similar to that
which seems to attend upon the choice
of saying will" or shall"
"a man, or woman either, can set a
hen. although they cannot sit her; neither
can they set on her, although the old
hen might sit on them by the hour if
they would allow. A man cannot set on
the wash bench, but he could set the
basin on it, and neither the basin nor the
grammarians would object. He could
sit on the dogs tail if the dog were will
ing, or he might set his foot on it. But
if he should set on the aforesaid tail, or
sit his foot there, the grammarians as
well as the dog would howl And yet,
strange az it may seem, the man might
set the tail aside and then sit down, and
neither be assailed by the dog nor the
gramma1iaus.

Adautatfon to Wants.

Much has been said about the adapta-
lions in nature to the wants of mankind.
Another point of view shows the same
facts as evidence that man has adapted
himself to varying conditions Of life.
An exception to what is looked upon
as general law is found in the distribu-
ton of fish. 1t is observed that in the
warm waters of the Nile, for instance,
fish of many kinds abound, but they are
all Of poor quality. The same could be
said of the fish in all warm waters.
Very few varieties are fit for the table.
Now it happens to be the case that in
hot climates the lighter articles OF food
are most in request. The system does
not need in the tropics the meats which
are SO largely consumed in the colder
region. The sending Of fish from Nor
way to the countries about the Mediter-
ranean is one Of the Oldest branches Of
trade in the history OF commerce.
Where the fish was Of good quality
the population was scanty, and, on the
other hand, where the population was
numerous the fish was poor. Is it not a
reasonable inference that both man and
fish have sought the portions of the globe
where the conditions of life were most
favorable to them respectively?-Youth's
Companion.

The Umbrella.

Sattara assumed tie title of Ch'hatra-
patti, or lord of the umbrella, and it is
by no means impossible that the word
satrapes, used by Herodotus for Persian
governors of Asiatic provinces, origin
ated in this way. Examples OF umbrel-
las have been found ON the monuments
Of Egypt as well as on those of Persepo-
lis; their construction differs little from
those now in use, and they are almost
invariably associated with persons of ex-
allied rank. 1t is not too much 20 say
that throughout the east the umbrella
was everywhere regarded as the emblem
of dominion and sovereignty. This was
doubtless due to its close association with
various solemn religious festivals and
pbservances, notably those connected
with the worship Of Bacchus; and this
connection points to direct relationship
with the mysteries of sun and nature
worship. -Gentleman's Magazine
Removing Foreign Bodies from the Nose.
A German medical journal describes
novel method which is proposed for remov-
ing foreign bodies that have lodged in the
nose. A rubber tube, one to two feet long,
with an end of wood or rubber to fit the nos
tril only is necessary. The end piece is in
troduced into the side in which the foreign
body is not; the physician places the other
end in his mouth and blows sharply through
the tube. If this does not cause the foreign
body to fly out, the physician may hold the
other nostrn, too, and blow, COMPRISING the
air, and then removing suddenly his hand
The foreign body is certain to fly out. This
procedure is simple and does not injure the
