Is FISHING CRUEL.

A writer in the Spectator attacks
engling, and in the course of long
essay manages to say what BYRON had
already said in half dozen lines-name
ly, that fishing with hook is abou
the cruelest sport OF man.
The thing was not worth saying
either in BYRoN's compact way or il
his writer's loose fashion, because it il
probably untrue and because even in
true it is in the order of nature.
It il certain that the worms and in
sects impaled very little in comparisol
with what man would suffer from simi
lar implement, because of their low
nervous constitution, while the best
scientific authority teaches that tht
fish drawn out of the water dies in ex,
quisite delight and not in agony. The
air is 20 him what laughing gas is to
man.
But the whole case was tried and
sdjudicated in JAMES X. PAULDING's
"Reyerie,' where he tells how all ami.
mated nature accused man of cruelty,
with specifications, aud perfect har-
mony prevailed in the convention Of
birds, beasts, insects and fishes until
the worm wriggled into the brook,
where the trout quickly snapped him
up, whereupon the cat seized the trout,
and the fox caught the, cat and so on
through the list, each animal destroy
ing such other as it needed for food.
' 1t is all in the course Of nature, and
man has always and everywhere eIer-
cised dominion over beasts of the
field forest and waters, sacrificing them
at will TO his needs. Until the senti-
mentalists are ready TO 20 without
roast beef and Spring chicken they
can make no case Of cruelty against
the angler. All nature is war aud
struggle for .exlstence, and we have
the authority of no less eminent scier
ti6ic observer than ALFRED Russell
WALLACE for saying that the mutual
preying of species entails very little
suffering at any point World.

logical survey, but the latter Is probab-
y true. The baby is said to be doing
nicely, and Mrs. Garfield is very proul
of her grandson.
Mrs. Garfield did intend at one time
to make Cleveland her home, going so
far as to purchase magnificent resi-
dence en- Prospect street. near Case
avenue, for $5O,O00. TIE house has
been and is now ffered for sale at a
reductltn OF $4,000 with no takers.
Mrs Garfield, after removal TO Mentor,
had tie old homestead thoroughly re-
modelled in modem style aud she in
tends to end her days there.

they will carve out quite career for

casket near the remains of the son she
loved so well, and after the dedication
of the monument both of their remains

The Political Oatlook.

Gen. Patrick A. Collins, of Massachu-
setts, whose timely eloquent and cogent
speeches did 90 much towards electing
Mr.. Cleveland President in 1884 and
who is still trusted leader of his party,
has given to an interviewer the grounds
of his confident hope of De.docratic
victory in 1892.
Mr. Collins considers it an element of
strength that the Democrats are ''no
longer handicapped with the disap-
continents of patronage The ex-
Congressman has seen and knows as
much of this business as any man of
his age, and he declares that "four
years of these disappointments have
convinced me that patronage is weak
ness rather than strength toa party"
Twice the Democrats elected their can
didate for President without q tide
water to help them. Last year they
lost, with seven-eighths of the Offices
in their possession.
The issue of tariff reform, in Mr.. Col
lins's view, will be prominent if not
paramount until it is settled, which
the Republicans ''cannot or will not do.
Speaking for the Democrats he says:
"We are pledged to continue the fight
to q finish"
Mr.. Collins is confident that the Re-
publican party in Congress will fail to
adopt any Legislation which will be sat
isfactory to the country. ''Its legis-
lation and policy must continue to be
for corporate and plutocratio interests,
rather than in favor of the people"
The Republican party he thinks.
"will henceforward, like the Old Wig,
represent the power and purposes of the
wealthy classes, while the Democracy
will stand as the guardian of the
peoples rights and liberties"
If this forecast shall prove correct
Mr.. Collns's hope will turn out to be
well founded. 1t will prove correct II
the Democratic party is true TO its ira
ditions and its principles. As To a
candidate, Mr.. Collins very properly
says that 50 great deal may happen in
a year or two. and no mans opinion as
to candidates is of any value at this
distance from the Convention. World

begun when his mills were destroyed by
himself in this way The Confederate forces
fearing the Federal troops would be supplied
with bread stuis, set fire to the mills, bu.
the flames were extinguished or died out be-
fore any great damage way done. Mr.. WEIGH
was visited by an officer of the Confederate
army who demanded why he extinguished
the fire. Mr.. Welch declared that he had
not done so and that he would show them
how to set a mill on fire, whereupon he pro-
cured candle and placed it under the ele-
vator shaft, and in short time his mills
were reduced to ashes. lie then went to
Georgetown and carried on the milling bust
ness. Mr.. Welsh was well known and high
ly esteemed He leaves six sons and five
daughters. One of the daughters married
