ing a Period of Speech essness.
The case of George w. Matthews of this
city is engaging the attention OF the medi-
cal and theological professions. About four
weeks ago the press gave an account of
Matthews strange affection, says an In
dianapolis special to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Without warning he was suddenly
deprived of speech while retaining his men
tai faculties. and for days while awake he
walked his room like one in trance.
Among those who became interested in
the case of Matthews was Rev. James
Bartlett of the New Ross Congregational
Church. To him Matthews recently wrote
that he would soon regain his voice, and
that he would then tell the wonderful
things that had been revealed to him.
After twenty-seyen days his weird silence
was broken, the first words spoken Delng
the first sentence of the Lords prayer; after
which he broke forth into singing praise
God from whom all blessings flow"
Matthews addressed n large number OF

| story of his experience during the period oil
his dumbnpss. He said that he had had
| visions in which the celestial city had been
revealed to him, and his description Of
| scenes and his intercourse with those gone
| before was thrilling in the extreme.
| While in his speeches. state he told that

NoS-PARTIsAN.

The fact should be distinctly borne in mind
that the present movement against the cor
rupt element in politics is entirely nom par
tisan. There is no present disposition to
use it to advance the interests of either
party. The dominant idea is to strike bood-
lers wherever they may be found. 1t hap
pens that the Superior Judge who is by the
force of his position the head of this move
ment is Democrat. while the Judge who is
relied upon to neutraIize the proceeding of the
Grand Jury is Republican, but the flight
of Buckley does not indicate that the hood
lers expect any favors at the hands OF their
political ally. 1t happens also that two of
the men most wanted by the Grand Jury
have acted with the Republicans, but it is
not as Republicans that the Grand Jury has
subpenaed them. There is general belief
that they had hand in the distribution OF
funds in the late Senatorial contest, and the
Grand Jury wants to know what they know.
1t is, perhaps misfortune for the Republi-
can party that the only newspaper Of any
importance in the State which questions the
legality Of the Grand Jury is nomiRaily Re-
publican. But thatnewspaper is and always
has been personal organ, and has acted with
the Republicans when paid for its services.
Its devotion to the party is not so deep as to
forbid it to make what it deemed adequate
compensation condition of its service.
But Republicans and Democrats are so near
ly identical in the b0odlerS' camp that ii
matters little what they call themselves.
The public wants boodIers' scalps without
regard to race, color or previous condition

BUCKLEY AND CHUTE.

Our citizens generally realize that but for
the eXeTtiuns OF The CALL, Buckley would
still be mower for evil in the politics of
this city Almost alone this journal showed
that Buckley and few associates had con-
troiled cur nominating conventions and
dictated who should serve the people III the
capacity of judges, members Of the Legs
Iaturp, etc, etc. A contemporary now says,
in substance, that Buckley was driven out
OF politics at the last election. The ground
work, il is true, was laid for Kidding the
city of this man. but he would have re-
NAMED in all probability but for the action
Of Judge Wallace in exposing the manner
IN which names were placed in the jury-bOx
so as 10 be drawn out to suit certain parties.
There is no doubt, in our opinion, that
disable mems names have been fire.
quently placed in the jury-boX for some
time past, and this is why justice has so
often mscarried. Our object however, was
10 publish the following paragraph copied
from the Chronicle of this city:
The friends of the Grand Jury claim too much
for that body when they assert that-t has driven
Boss Buckley out OF politics. Buckley was well
knocked out al lhe last election and would not
have had a ghost OF show II he had tried 10
ta-e = hand tr ~ coming contest. The zeal OF
the Democrats 10 overthrow Buckley after the
Job has been thoroughly accomplished by the
Republicans is very touching sight, but lei the
public ask what the result would have been II
Buekley's lambs were now filling ali the city
offices as they once did. In that case the boss
would stil be the king pin. and shining lights in
lie parry would declare with great feeling that
they asked for no better leader than Chris
We agree with nearly all that is said
about Buckley, but is it not true that Demo-
Gratis Of standing wish to get rid, OF Buck
ley? Doubtless they do. Is there any
wrong in this? Surely Buckley has cost
the CIT dearly, and it was time Democrats
Of standing should throw him off. 1t was
disgrace to the party 10 permit Buckley to
secure the election of judges and control the
machinery for the selection of jurors. But
what about this man Chute? Is he much
better than Buckley? Is it not generally
understood that he has been using money
in large sums to corrupt officials? 1t he has
not. it would be an easy matter to 90 before
the Grand Jury and say the reports con-
corning him were false. Does the Chronicle
desire that the Republican party should
cling to such men as Chute and be dis
praced? The Republican party does not
reed the services of Buckley nor Chute.
The Chronicle may deem their services of
advantage to itself, but the party cannot be
successful if run by such class of men as
he represents. THE CALL advises our citi-
zens to beware of the men who sustain men
OF the stamp Of Buckley or Chute, no matter
who they may be, whether individuals,
Judges or newspapers.

AT that the pretty blue form bounced

The baby didn't cry. Every twenty min

and little fat arms waved around over the
top of the carriage, and then the assistant
treasurer said, "B0uuee the baby, Jimmy"
Jimmy started the carriage springs going

cry once, and when the show was nearly
out Manager Garwood came around and
bounced the baby several times, and was
greatly amused. Nothing succeeds like

JUST IN TIME.

Colonel Fred Grant, the American Minis
ter to Vienna, is reported TO have said con-
corning the upper circle of Vienna society
that a more charming and interesting set Of
men and women could not be found in re-
spect TO personal attributes. 1t is rare.

las ever fallen on the integrity Of the men
or the discretion of the women" This view
81 Vienna comes just in time to remove the
Impression created by the death Of the late
Crown Prince Of Austria. The London
1uneS account Of that event and the incl
dents Leading to it was not calculated to give
the most exalted opinion of the men and
women composing the Austrian royal circle.
The public will. therefore, receive with
great pleasure from so distinguished per-
SOD as colonel Grant the assurance that the
SOCIAL standard in Vienna is higher than the
narrative referred to would seem to war

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Marriage aud divorce was the subject OF ahinter-
esrIng paper read by Hon. Carroll d. wright at
the Unitarian Conference at Saratoga tom-
menting on the fact that from 1867 10 1856 in-
elusive there were granted in the unlted olaies
32S, 7l6 DEGREES of divorce he pointed out that
the increase was steady and rapid yearly, show
Ing an Increase OF 157 per cent in MY years,
in which period the population increased only 60
per cent OF the 32S,716 divorces granted
2l6,176 were secured on the petition OF the
wives. The duration of the married time aver
aged S.97 years for the men aud 9.27 years for
the women. Less then 30 per cent of the parties
were divorced in other States than those In which
they were married. To restrict divorces 1t was
suggested that marriage should be made more
difficult and that the law should he changed so
that the State should be party to all divorce

Regarding corporal punishment In the public
schools. Professor William I. Harris, United
States Commissioner OF Education, expresses a
belief that the fewer the cases of discipline the
better the schools are likely to be. Enlightened
public sentiment is against the frequent use OF
the rod in the school, 1t brutaliZes aud terror
lies. In Commissioner Harris opinion the dis
cipllue OF those cities in which corporal punish
ment has been entirely abolished is Far better

legally Identical. Chute and Gage were
summoned to appear before the Grand

Both were liable to arrest in contempt pro-

taken in hand. Gage will be convicted and
sentenced to-day, and then the game that
has been played in the Chute case will
probably be played over again with Gage in
the title role. Ii Judge Murphy is not

is reported to have entered upon. He has
no authority whatever to review proceed

Superior Court. Judge Wallace is acting
in the strict limo of duty, and will take no
notice of Judge Murphy's DEGREES. If,
therefore, Judge Murphy persists in his pur-
