A TRAIN ran off the track in Marin
county on Saturday and serious result
did not follow. Thereupon reporter of
those parts telegraphs to the daily press
that the escape of the passengers was due
to the intervention of the hand of Provi-
dence and to low rate of speed. Indeed
And how comes it that the reporter is COM
missioned to thus interpret the matter
In how far did Providence and the low
rate of speed divide the responsibility
How much is to be credited to the one
and how much to the other? What evil
dences had the reporter that the hand Of
Providence was stretched forth to suspend
the operation of the laws of gravitation
How comes it that Providence interviewed
in behalf of the Marin county railroad,
while on other lines cars go to smash and
grind victims to death? All this ascrip-
ton of Intervention to Providence is on
par with the conventional society resolu-
tons beginning with the word Whereas"
that charges God with having stricken
down some one who died in the natural
order Of things, or whose death was the
direct result of his non-observance of
natural laws. AS a rule the Geographic
reporters will do the best work when they
stick to affairs mundane and leave readers
to their religious belief or non-belief con-
corning special providences.

The late Sir Percy Shelley, son Of the
great poet. was an eccentric creature. Once
he asked well-known English litterateur
10 visit him and promised him something
of interest. The man Of letters expected
sight of the poet Shelley's manuscripts, and
was disappointed to find that the baronet
wished him TO examine new method of
producing stage thunder he had invented.

TIE report that the Spanish republi-
cans arc now showing special activity, and
are preparing to inaugurate revolution,
is altogether probable. There have been
indications for the past six months, justify
ing the belief that Spain is on the eve of
a great political upheayal, and some of the
reasons for this belief we outlined in our
issue of Friday last. Should the young
King of Spain now i'll, die, a republican
uprising is certain to follow. Should he
recover, the outbreak will only be little
while postponed.

A LONG and thoroughly sensational
story comes from Denver concerning an
alleged attempt on the part of an agent of
the London Times TO bride man in Colo
RADIO to testify falsely against Parnell be-
fore the Parnell- Times Commission. If
true, the scheme of the Times ought to
cover it with such infamy as to crush it.
But the story should not be received by
any judgment until the Times is heard
from. 1t is altogether improbable that
any men, let alone the managers of a great
newspaper like the Times, would put it in
the power of witness to expose them in
such matter. If they set out to do such
a thing as is charged they never went
about it so buuglingly as is claimed.
They would not have approached the pro-
posed witness as they are said to have
done without some sort of intimation that
the offer would be received and accepted,
and even then they would have taken
such precautions that the witness would
be unable to fix the crime upon them.
The story may be true, but there are
weighty reasons for believing it to be false

IT is said that the Mississippi Legisla-
ture will memorable Congress to submit a
proposition for the repeal of the Fifteenth
Amendment. 1t will be useless. Let the
South deal fairly with the negro and it
will have no cause to fear him politically
or socially. Perhaps had the nation to do
the work over again, it might attach an
intellectual qualification or probationary
period to the right of investment of the
freedman with the mantle of sovereignty;
but now that he has been enfranchised, it
is not conceivable that he will be stripped
of his right to a voice in the Government
that taxes him and exacts duty of him.

batting the question at length, the Court
thus forcibly expresses itself:

THE delegates 10 the River Convention
to meet in this city this week are now be-
ing chosen in the river counties and towns.
In view Of the great importance of the
matter, we renew the suggestion that the
people advise their representatives in that
body not to complicate matters, or involve
the one chief question of the Convention,
by introducing any subjects relative to
methods for river reformation. The one
thing to he done is to move the Federal
Government to act. That accomplished
1t will act upon the advice of its own
Boards and Commissions, and before them
the people will have ample oppor-
tuniry to present their views as to what
should be done If the action of the Coz
Vention results in securing from Congress
Il Judgment that it should undertake the
treatment of the river, and that it will do
so, the end will be attained that all desire
All elss is detail and secondary, and may
well enough be discussed in the press and
outside Of the Convention. Above all, the
people should advise their delegates that
nothing could be more suicidal than to
enter upon the discussion in TIE Conven-
{ on Of the causes for the degeneration of
river navigation or upon any debate con-
cerniug reclamation of lands. With any
thing Of The latter character the Federal
Government will not concern itself,
nor should it, and therefore the me-
mortal to be prepared will be handi-
capped by auy reference to reclamation
schemes. Reclamation Of lands will be an
incident OF river reparation, but not one
that the Government will afirmatively
aid or foster. The river cannot be treated
efectually without lessening the diff
cuities of private ownership in retaining
low lands, but that benefit, natural and
unavoidable, none will consider reason
for Government action. We look forward
to the Convention doing a good work, and
entertain The hope that it will so present
the question TO Congress as to insure salts
factory reply. If its delegates that it will
probably send to Washington can move
the department presided over by the Sec
retary of War to indorse the memorial and
recommend Congress to order the neces-
sarv steps Tor treatment to be taken, it will
be equivalent to success. Departments
rarely give The weight Of their indorse-
msnt 10 memorials, but since this one viii
concern Federal property and Federal
trust, and not private matters, there is
reason 10 believe that the Engineering
Bureau of the War Department can be in
dueed 10 give the memorial its support.

GOVERNOR HUI, of New York, sent
his message TO the Legislature Tuesday,
and TOOK occasion to discuss the ballot re-
form question. He thereby recognized
and confessed its prominence, and that it
cannot be ignored. But with fealty to the
opposition he finds the reform system Oh
jectionable mainly because it places the
voter who cannot read at disadvantage,
to compel him to mark cross

In the North American Revielg vigor-
Gus writer protests against the craze of
headline writers of the press for ALTER
alive effects. He thinks that it is time to
call halt in this padding in the pools of
alliteratiye nonsense. We agree with him.
He quotes "Hemphill Hits Hard" and
asks, "Who could blame him, if only the
editor were at the other end of the stick"
Sidney Lanier said well, when he wrote
that "aIl ALTERATION for the sake of allit-
Grafton is trining," and that "when it at
tracts attention it is loud" Mr.. Ward, the
essayist first referred to, declares that it
is "decayed depravity" when it runs to
such extremes as this, the example being
selected from leading metropolitan jour
nal: "Racy Revelations Regarding the
Willy Ways of Widower Who Wanted a
Wife" Compare such vulgarity with the
vigor and beauty of Milton's line, "The
Sworded Seraphim," which, as Ward well
says, has "trip-hammer force" or this
melodious example from Emerson, ellis is
the sparkle of the spar" As strong an
example of pardonable ALTERATION as we
can recall is that of Tennyson, in his
"Battle of Brunanbush :"
"Theirs was Greatness
Got from their Grandsires.'
And strong also is this, from the same pen
"struek for their Hoards, and their Hearths
and their Homes"
Contrast with such strength and grace
the alliterative abomination which we find
in the headlines of a sensational journal
of the East: "Great Gorges Quilted by
Glaciers :" or this other example of the
ill-informed news editors wit, who reveals
his want Of taste by plastering these words
in large type upon the heading of tele-
graphic report, and which Mr.. Ward dis
covered recently: Buckets of Beer and
Blood" g Victims of Vile Votary OF
Vice" But even these are fute-like and
melodious compared to the following,
which we clip from an exchange: "Beastly
Bill Buck Brains His Baby" Mr.. Ward
is right in his demand that the alliterative
crank shall "go"-the age is too cult
waited to endure with complacency his bar
barity.

ELEcTRICaL EXECUTION.

The Supreme Court of New York, in the
Fifth Department, has decided that the
infiction of the death penalty by electrical
currents IS not cruel and unusual form of
punishment, as intended to be inhibited by
the Constitution. The decision is en-
braced in very long and able opinion,
but the extracts we give cover the main
issue. We invite attention to them, as at
once lucid legal statements and admirable
examples of sound reasoning. Referring
to the tact that disemboweling, breaking
on the wheel, hanging in chains and burn
ing at the stake are accepted by all civil
ization as cruel methods of inficting
death, the Court says
The question is now to be answered whether
the legislative act here assaied is subject to the
same condemnation. Certainly it is not so on
its face, for, although the mode of death pre-
scribed is conceded 10 be unusual, there is no
common knowledge or consent that il is cruel.
On the contrary, there is a belief, more or less
common, that death by an electrical current
under favorable circumstances is instantaneous
G1d without pain. 1t was, therefore, ques-
ti1n Of fact whether an electric current of suf-
4 lent intensity and skillfully applied would
p .0duce death without unnecessary suffering.
After reviewing all the evidence and de-
batting the question at length, the Court
thus foreibly expresses itself:
We think that the evidence is clearly in favor
OF the conclusion that it is within easy reach of
electrical science at this day to so generate and
APPLY 10 the person of the convict a current of
electricity Of such known and sufficient force
as certainly to produce instantaneous and
therefore painless death It detracts nothing
r. N the force of the evidence in favor of this
cone us,on that we do not know the nature of
electricity nor how it is transmitted IN currents,
nor how it operates to destroy the life of ami
mails and men exposed to its force. Neither do
We know the nature of the attraction of CRAWL
tati0n, which is the operative force employed
in the infection of death by hanging, nCr how
tina force operates to draw toward each other
masses Of matter freely moving in space. We
know these and ali other forces of nature by
their effects and we avail ourselves of them in
the dsily processes and pursuits of life with a
confidence based upon common experience
without inquiry as to the essence of the force
or the mode Of its operation.

PREACHING FALSE DOCTRINE.
A Rabbi Almost Creates a Riot by Declaring
That the Messiah had Been on Earth.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch
CLEVELAND, May 27.-The celebration of
Of the Jewish feast of weeks in this city
was marked by sensational scene. The
day was observed in all the synagogues,
and large audience assembled in the place
of worship at Woodland avenue and Erie
street in response to a call issued by the
Rev. P. Werber, Of Baltimore, editor of the
Friend OF Israel. Werber appeared with
rabbits cap upon his head and began his dis
course. AS the preacher occasionally enun-
ciated doctrine not strictly in accord with
Jewish beliefs glances were cast back and
forth that spoke not only dissatisfaction
but contempt He gradually grew holder
and finally declared in the face of the 500
sons of Israel that their IDEAS of the Messiah
were ridiculous, that Christ had been On
earth and His second coming would be In
| the glare of burning world. This was
more than the already overburdened con
gregation could bear, and men sprang IN
great excitement to their feet and pushed
to the platform where they gathered around
the now alarmed minister, splitting upon
him and endeavoring to take the rabbits
cap from his head. Several ministers OF
the German Reformed church were present
and were instrumental in keeping the mad
dened crowd from doing immediate violence.
Pandemonium reigned until squad of po-
lice officers arrived. Women rushed from
the hall in fear, while men shouted them
selves hoarse. The minister kept in the
background surrounded by friends and out
of reach of the mob that tainted him, call
ing him an imposter and the second Jesus. "
He attempted to make an explanation, but
none would be received, and the. crowd
fingered for some time, but the police pre-
vented violence being done, and finally dis
persed the congregation without making
arrests. There is still much excitement
among the Hebrews.

ment. Opiates and the like should only be
used as auxiliaries, and then as sparingly as
possible. Vigorous nerves are quiet ones, and
the most direct way to render them so is to rein
force the vital energies. That sterling invigor-
ant Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will be found
all-sufficient for this purpose since it entirely
removes impediments to thorough digestion and
assimilation of the food, SO that the body is as
sured its due amount of nourshment, and con-
seQuently of stamina. Rheumatic tendencies

also counteracted by. the Bitters, which is be-
sides pleasant medicinal stnulant, infinitely
purer than the raw eXeitants of commerce,
