The crank who constructed a barrel
canoe with which he proposed to descend
the Niagara falls had a lucid interval
just as he was ready to start on the per-
ilous voyage, and concluded to send the
craft over without an attendant first to
test its powers of resistance. The smash
ing of his boat by the resistless tide,
however, revived the mania in him to
accomplish the impossible, and he set
about making another craft that should
bear him safely over the cataract. It's
no use. 1t were just as well that he had
gone down with the craft that was demol-
ished; he is bent towards a fate of that
sort, and the sooner he meets it the bet
ter for others of that kind who are al
most persuaded to launch into the swirl

One of the anomalies of our social sys-
tenn is illustrated in Oklahoma. 1t is al
legged by -prohibitionists that pro-
hibitory laws are failures extant; yet we
see absolute prohibition prevailing in the
district named, and that, too, without
word from the inhabitants thereof on
the subject. The laws of the United
States that make it misdemeanor for a
person to have intoxicating liquor in his
possession within the Indian territory is
as binding over the Oklahoma section
that has been opened to white settlement
as over any other portion, SO that the
people down there get the benefit of
practical prohibition without being an
noyed with its enforcement. They are
not so much as consulted as to whether
they favor the law or not. Nor does
the question of personal liberty cut any
figure in the case. The possession of
the inhibited article is taken as prima
facie evidence of an intent to violate the
law by selling it.

The evidence related in the Cronln
case duplicating Kunze would seem to
be somewhat modifying in its effects
upon the general impression in regard to
the connection if not responsibility of
the Clan-na-Gael with the murder. Out
side the pale of the church there is as
little sympathy between the German and
Irish nationalities as between the ancient
Jews and Samaritans, and it sounds I'M
reasonable, to say the least, that a Ger
man should be implicated in any sort of
scheme concocted and engineered by a
secret, oath-bound Irish society. To our
mind the Kunze incident, if there is in
reality anything to it, exculpates the
Irish society as such from any connec-
ton with the famous tragedy: it also
renders necessary another confession
from Woodruff. Meanwhile what has
become of the Winnipeg contingent?

About the checklist thing that has
come under our notice lately is the case
wherein an agent of the Associated Press
interviews himself as an editor and then
sends out his opinions TO the world at
the expense of the papers constituting
the press association. \ quarter of a
column Of space was thus taken up
which might have been employed in
conveying some Interesting news. When
anybody wants to know the opinion of
any editor touching any subject every
body knows that the place to look for
such an opinion is in the editorial col
umns of the aforesaid editors paper.
Telegraph columns are for news and not
for personal opinions unless the person

The constitutionality of the law passed
by the New York legislature substituting
electricity for the gallows as a means of
executing criminals in that state was not
passed upon by the state supreme court

to be electrocuted during the present

In 1898 Simon Cameron was General
Jackson's confidential adviser. In 1882
he headed the Pennsylvania delegation
to Baltimore, at the first national con-
vention ever held in this country. Be-
fore that General Jackson had recalled
him from Louisiana, where he went TO
build the Lake Ponchartrain canal, and
by Cameron's manipulation the state leg
islatures were brought to petition Old
Hickory to be candidate for second
term, thus paving the way for the pres
ideut to change front on his one term
theory. Forty-four years later the same
adviser counselled similar action in con-
nection with Abraham Lincoln and took
good care that the Pennsylvania legisIa-
ture should lead in the work.-Kansas

The Sullivan-Kilrain battle, if per-

taken place. The men are understood
to be about equal in all points, including
a determination to win or die in the ring.
1t is probable, more's the pity, that the
fight will take place at the time agreed
upon, despite the efforts of the govern

The case of Alexander Sullivan in con-
nection with the Cronin murder is said
to be very similar in some of its features
to that of Spies, in connection with the
Haymarket affair in that city. This
statement makes the failure of the
grand jury to indict Sullivan all the
more inexplicable. However, it is not
too late for the grand jury to formulate
a complaint against Sullivan, or any
body else the states attorney may fancy
knows anything about the case.

The Prohibitionists, in casting about
for an excuse for their recent defeats in
Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, attrib-
ute it to ''the combined rascality of the
Republican and Democratic parties. >
Whether this is true or not it is not nee
essary to discuss now; but the Prohibi-
tionists must be a very credulous and
unsophisticated set of amateur politi-
clans, indeed, if they can for a moment
deiude themselves into the belief that
any assistance is due them from the Re-
publican party. 1t has been their aim
and boast, for al least two national cam
paigns, that they hoped and proposed to
break up that party. They succeeded in
defeating them once, but that defeat SO
opened the eyes of Republicans that their
efforts were fat and dismal failures last
time. Their presumption was properly
rebuked, and they must look elsewhere
for their support in future battles. Now
let the Republican party go ahead, make
its own issues regardless of this third
party incubus, and it will thus deserve
and get the support necessary to carry
itself without pandering to the senti-
mentality of these impracticable theor-
lists,

The census of 1880 showed that there
were 70, coo lawyers in the United States,
or one to each 715 people, including
women and children. In France the
same year the proportion was one law
yer to each 6,667 of the population. The
question to settle is whether we have too
many or too few. AS we are vastly
more prosperous than the French, it may
be inferred that we have just the right
number, or that, having prospered so
greatly with 10000, we ought to double
the number. The multitude of !. our

For the time being Paris supersedes
London as the objective point of gold
shipments from this country, the expla-
nation being found IN the presence of
the unusually large number of Ameri-
cans in attendance upon the worlds ex-
position at the French capital. If this be
the correct theory, it betrays prodigal-
ity on the part of our countrymen abroad
next to recklesSness. The situation thus
presented is worse for us in financial
point of view than discrepancy against
US in our foreign trade balances, for the
reason that in the latter instance we are
getting something in return, though it
may be something that represents a
product that might and should be sup
piled by our own people, while the pres
ent expectation is SO much cash gone,
for which there is no hope of an ade-
quate return. But it is no use to criti-
else Americans for fault that is laid
only to their generosity. We will get it
all back and more when it comes our
turn again to entertain the world, which
will be only three years hence.
