Opinions of Little Value.


A dozen or more of the leading citizens of
Dexter are out In interviews in which thew
declare that the opinion Of the Supreme
judges In the Barron case has not weakened
their belief in the suicide theory in the least.
No doubt they state the truth. Should an
angel descend from Heaven he could not
change the opinion of these Dexter people.
Their minds were long ago shut to all in
Auences or arguments that tended to dis
prove their pet theory. But with the large
majority of people their opinions will weigh
but very little In comparison with those of
the twelve Impartial men who heard the
evidence in the trial of Stain and Cromwell
and the eight other impartial men who
subsequently reviewed that evidence. So
far as has app red not one of these twenty
men had any preconcelsea notion Of the case,
certainly they had no conviction Ia r .s to
1t; and therefore their minds were in a con-
dition to receive the evidence and Judge it
without prejudice. All of these Dexter men
however, have been firm believers In the
suicide theory for years; they have main
tatned and defended 1t until it has become
almost part of their religion. They have
become almost fanatics on the subject.
Their minds are not, therefore, and have not
been for many years, In condition to Judge
fairly the facts and circumstances of the
case; and their opinions of what the evidence
In the Stain and Cromwell case showed or did
not show is consequently of very little value.
Not single one of them claims that he either
heard or read all the evidence that was SUBJ
mitted in the Bangor trial. All of them
practically admit that they are basing their
present judgment on evidence which was
submitted to them years ago. Yet all of
tnem viii admit that on the evidence pre-.

murdered. Subsequent evidence changed

neen changed back again to murderP How
can they intelligently attack verdict based
on evidence, part of which at least tbon

The Porcelain Club.
Cambridge 1ribune.l


In 1871, there was certain youth rooming
in old Massachusetts, who had for some time
been nursing grudge against proctor who
lived just below him. SO by dint of much
conspiring with Cambridge farmer, he pro-
cured small pig and struggled it one night
into his room. Lifting up the cover of his
window-seat he dropped the pig into the
locker beneath and was ready for fun. BY
jujiciously twisting the pigs tail he obtained
a succession of unearthly squeals varying in
intensity with the tightness of the twist.
Up came the proctor. and there was the in
nocent student seated on the cover of the
window-seat, hard at work at his Hebrew.
OF course he was at a loss for the proctor's
appearance and an examination of the
premises disclosed nothing. The perform
ance was repeated until it became dangerous,
when with the aid of some students who
was let into the secret the pig was removed
In safety. These fellows, in consequence Of
their successful trick, formed the Little
Pig" or Porcelain club, which exists TODAY
as the most exclusive clud in Harvard.

The New York Post remarks that the re-
cent election disturbances in Maine make
the Southern press very merry. The absurd
reports that have been spread abroad in re-
gard to them are calculated to make every
body merry that knows the facts. Here are
some of the Philadelphia papers publishing
Long homilies upon the alleged outrageous
interference Of United States marshals in a
municipal election, when as matter of fact
the United States marshal was one hundred
and fifty miles flom tho svenv, and Ihe only
deputy whom he had appointed was attend
ing to clerical duties in the marshal's Office
fifteen miles away from the disturbances.

The House committee on coinage has

Only four Democrats in the New York as
ssmbly voted for the Saxton ballot bill, and
the New York Sun predicts that the effect
upon them will be to consign them to OBJ
livlon. Flfty-one Democrats voted against
1t. As Cleveland favored the bill while Hill
opposed 1t, if this vote has any significance
as regard these two Presidential candidates
1t goes to show that Hill has much stronger
grip on the Empire State than Cleveland.
But perhaps poll of the masses might make
a different showing.

The Maryland legislature has evolved some
kind of ballot reform law, but as German S
influence has been potent at every step in its
construction we can safely conclude that
there is nothing in it that will materially in

reform measure only in name. and by Great

Our esteemed contemporary, the Bangor
Wing. is accusing another of our esteemed
contemporaries. the Lewiston Journal, Of
bad faith In publishing the opinion of the
the Supreme Court in the Barron case ahead
OF time. The Wing seems to make out a very
strong case. But the Lewiston Journal en-
phatically denies the charge. and as it is in
conceivable that paper of such profound
and unctuous piety could prevaricate, we feel
bound to aequit 1t of any intentional wrong.
We suppose. however. such feelings as the
Wing gives vent to are under the circum-
stances quite natural, just as it was natural
for the elder Wellert to feel like administering

that truly good gentleman examining his

NJ Tirard's ministry came into office in
February. 1889, on the defeat of Nj. Floquet.
1t goes out after an experience of year. Its
life has been about as long as that of the
average French ministry for a number of
years past. The great number of factions in
the Assembly keeps the ministry constantly
struggling to keep its head above water and
until some party or faction elects majority
of the deputies we may expect that the lives
of French ministries will continue to be brief
and full of trouble.

1t looks as though Commander McCalla,
who is now being tried for cruelty on ship
board, might come out of his ordeal with a
certificate that will ensure him chance to
preside over Siberian prison. His dis
ciplinary punishment appears to have been
modelled after the kind that is prevalent in
those institutions. Striking men over the
head with his sword because their manners
did not come up to his standard, deluging
them with water to make them "shut up. .
and compelling them to walk the deck in
irons for some trivial offence were some of
the punishments by which this strict discip-
linarian kept the crew In order.

The Russian authorities have felt 1t neces-
sary to make some sort of an explanation of
the recent outrages at the Kara prison.
Their explanation, however. is not calcu-
lated to help the matter much. The main
allegations appear to be admitted, and a
rather weak attempt is made to justify them
on the ground that the prisoners had insult
ed the officers of the prison. Civilized
countries are able to conduct their prisons
without fiogging weak women to death, and
IL such outrages as that at Kara are neces.
sary to the maintenance of discipline in Rus
sian prisons it only serves to show that there
is something radically wrong in those insti.
tutions.

An Agricultural Phensm~pan.

AL last fall the farmers OF Connecticut
invcighed bitterly because the wcs
weather was running their potatD crop,
They had inst begun to follow the ad-
wee of leaders in agricultural expert
neHts and had substituted potatoes for
tobacco. which had proved an uns,is-
factory crop. Jack Frost used 20 set
along SO early that the tobacco plants
would get nipped before they could be
harvested. But now they have abaD-
doned tobacco Jack Frost does not seem
TO come at all. On the other hand. We
weather ruined the potatoes.
