THE THREAT OF ENGLAND.

1t is said by the reporters of the Asso-
ciated Press that Salisbury has declared
for England that she will not concede
Behring sea as mare clausun,, and that
she will make naval demonstration in
that direction presently. Let us hope
that the story is error. However rooted
we may be in the conviction that we main
tain but our rights In Behring sea, we
should indulge the hope that statesman
ship will in this case exert its highest
Office, which is to prevent, not encourage
war.
At its best war is fearful thing, and
between people of common tongue and
such interviewer interests as those of
America and Great Britain, there is more
to deplore about it than in any other
case, except that Of domestic war. Eng
land will, we believe, if held firmly to
the point, concede that the sealing in
terests should not be utterly DESTROYED, as
they will be if the Behring sea is thrown
open to the world. England has nothing
to gain in the long run by such course
as will break down the protection the
fisheries now have from the United States.
1t is probable that to avoid war the United
States would make some concessions in the
matter of licensing limited fishing, but
that our Government would yield up its
right of property in that it purchased, and
that for 125 years has been recognized as
right, exclusive in either the Govern
ment of Russia or of the United States, is
unthinkable.
If craftsmanship through diplomacy
cannot bring about a peaceful settlement
of the Behring Sea issue, then the people
of the United States viii consent to the
arbitrament of arms. fit comes to that
it will be sadly destructive war. Both
nations are prepared to infict upon each
other incalculable injury For a time,
We may, by reason of martial enthusiasm
take delight in such conflict, but
that We will not suffer greatly because
of it, cannot be denied Yet if we are
driven to arms to maintain our policy,
We have reason to anticipate on the part
of the American sailor brilliant defense
of the Nations flag. 1t must be humil-
lated under no circumstances; if all APP
peals to peaceful means fail the colors of
the United States must not be lowered in
submission to the dictation of the English
Cabinet
We believe, however, that sober counsels
will prevail, and that Lord Salisbury will
not resort to the naval threat he promises
in fact, it is reasonable to receive mis-
manifesto as insincere. But if he is cor
rectly reported, and there is manifest by
his act the sincerity of his expression, he
will find that the American people are not
to be easily or unconcernedly snubbed; if
driven to battle they certainly will be
found upon the defensive in surprisingly
vigorous way, The assault must come
from the other side, and when it does. and
the sword is substituted for the pen, there
will be such a contest as will disabuse the
European mind of the idea that the
American people are not prepared to fight
upon the high seas, or to meet powerful
foe anywhere.

that is deadly to these germs; and the
same may be said of all such receptacles
used in private houses. 1t is the simplest
thing in the world to keep small quantity
OF solution in all vessels used for such pur-
poses. 1t is not only an ofense to de-
cency to expectorate upon floors and walks,
but it ought to be crime, as it is in some
parts. An intelligent resident of India re-
Gently wrote of the Americans as he OBJ
served them during six months residence
In San Francisco and some other cities.
He declared in his book that our towns are
huge spittoons, and NEST offensive and dan
gerous ones. Some of the San Francisco
press took him severely to task for the ex-
preston, but there was a measure of i'm
portant truth in his charge that demands
our careful consideration. A German
Board of Physicians that recently advised
that consumptiyes in certain last stages of
the disease should be isolated and kept
from the presence of the well, was GER
tainly theoretically wise in its Judgment.
IT is officially reported from Paris that
the Bompard woman, the confederate of
murderer Eyraud, has been proved to be a
remarkably sensitive hypnotic subject.
The operators have demonstrated that
when she is hypnotized, and which condi-
ton Is induced in her with greatest ease,
she obeys even the thought of the oper-
ator, though he may be in distant room
and separated from her by streets and
walls. This tends to bear out the story of
the woman, that in the assistance she gave
Eyraud, she was not free will agent. 1t
also partly answers the question recently
propounded by body of French Judges,
lis the influence capable of icing so ex-
erted as to render it wise for the law to
consider it as a factor in determining what
is competent testimony" Of course a
single case is not enough upon which to
found new principle in the law of evil
dence. But DIR. William A. Hammond. in
our own country, recently by direction
through thought, made subject he had
hypnotized seek out a person thought of,
and endeavor to stab him, the subject hay
ing been provided with paper dagger,
and the assaulted party being warned of
the intended seizure. Yet in that case the
subject sprang upon the "victim" with
such fury, and chung to him so desperately
that others had to interfere to disengage
the grasp. On being restored to normal
condition the subject had no memory
whatever of the occurrence, and plainly
showed that his memory was vacant con-
corning the thought of the doctor, and the
fury manifest but few moments before
toward person with whom the subject
had not even passing acquaintance, and
no reason whatever for ill.will. Eyraud
will be convicted and dispatched inside of
the next thirty days; of that we may rest
assured, since the French system is as
swift as it is certain. But that the Bonn
pard woman will be punished severely is
not to be thought of; her story of will
domination over her by Eyraud will, after
the recent experiments, serve to save her
