Some American papers have as- serted that medical superintendents of asylums, in their constant inter course with insane patients, become themselves insane. A few solitary instances of insanity among insane experts gives color to this idea, but this is an instance of hasty gener- alization from insufficient data. There is no microbe of insanity at least one has not yet been found, and breathing the air of asylums does not lead to insanity. Those asylum superintendents who have become insane would unfortunately have become mentally affected no matter what position in life they occupied, and it is mere coinci- dence that they happen to be at the time of their insanity in charge ot the insane. Newspaper paragraphs of this kind are not expected to be scientific, or even accurate.-Pro- yincial Medical Journal.

men cry out against capital and
 monopoly and sell their votes for a cash consideration, just so long their grievance will go unredressed and continue to grow in burden.
 Where can any one ask better H.
 lustration of the powerof the voter than in the Kansas election just passed? Not drop of blood shed, not deed of violence or force any where, yet one of the most remark able revolutions ever known con- summated. When will men learn the fact that an independent ballot is the most potential force ever in- voked in human affairs? If you have it, society is safe-if you don't ignorance will give wealth the mo- nopoly of money and muscle. Why labor organizations don't see this, is one of the things that makes men despair of the future.-Kansas City Journal.

4 New Departure.

A new market has been opened for beef cattle from Sonora. All of the stock which formerly found its way across the line at fair price is now being driven to the City of Mexico or shipped around in bond via Fl Paso by rail. It is said to net the shipper two and one-fourth cents, or one-half a cent more per pound than they could realize by selling to the American purchaser. The shipment of Texas beef has fallen off in proportion to the vol ume of the new trade with Sonora. This is one instance where the Me- Kinley bill has increased the price of the Mexican product to the detri- ment of the cattle men of the border States and Territories.-Prospec- tor.

A strained financial situation, both here and in London, following a long and severe speculative liqui- dation, was followed by the revela- ton of rotteness in particular quar- ters, which, under the pressure of excessive interest rates, developed into a positive disturbance of con- fidence. In fact, the greater part of the danger was eliminated when the London money markets was tided over by the opportune assist ance afforded by the Bank of France in permitting the transfer of sever- al millions of gold to the British capital, and by the prompt action of the New York associated banks in announcing that their united credit would be used to support any of their members. - Brad streets.

In measuring the effect and signi- fcance of this financial furry it is to be borne in mind that it does not spring from unhealthy business conditions. Its causes are specula tive, not mercantile or industrial. There has rarely been a time when the general business of the country was in a sounder condition, nor when there was more activity and buoyancy in the great industries. There is, then, not the occasions for uneasiness that there would be if the origin of the trouble were of a different character, or if there were not so good a state of things in business as distinguished from speculative circles. The fluctua- tions of stock quotations do not represent changes in the value of the properties affected, but a pres sure to sell on the part of operators. If people will keep their heads and not yield to causeless alarms, there will be a speedy subsistence of agi- tation.-BOston Journal.

The salt they contain is pure and white and clearer than glass, and it is said that piece seven or eight inches thick is sometimes clear enough to see through to read newspaper. Over the salt is a lay CT of sandstone from two to eight feet thick, and when this is torn away the salt appears like 8 huge snow drift. How deep it is has not yet been ascertained but a single blast of giant power will blow out tons of it.

Mexican Trade.

When the Sonora road was com- pleted 75 per cent. of the goods sold in Guaymas were brought from Eu- rope and the other p per cent. came from the United States. The com- pletion of the road reversed the fig ures. The same may be said of Mazatlan and other important coast towns, but should Superintendent Richards succeed in securing a con- cessIon that will allow him to land all dutiable goods at their destina- ton before the duties are paid, there will be another important re- versal of figures. This order of things will not only be beneficial to the United States but also to Mex ico. That country has products which the United States would buy, and an extension of trade between the the two countries cannot but prove beneficial all around.-No- gales Herald.
