Keep Your Hands on.

There is law OF indebatable propriety
that forbids passengers ON railways to
take the stoppago Of train into their own
hands bs pulling the cord overhead and CIV
ing the signal to the engineer. Trains can
Only bc run safely by The regular agents OF
the railroads. who get their orders from
headquarters.
There is another rule. not OF the same legal
status. but equally positive, to the effect
that the employees OF the elevated railroad
are not under any circumstances to lay
hands ON passengers for the purpose Of ar
resting them. Policemen aro the men for
that function, and an elevated guard or con-
ductor who personally interferes' with a
passenger, even such passenger as Will
LIAM FITZPATRICK. fully deserves all and
more than the guard, MCDONALD received
from him.
Elevated railroad guards appear as tre-
mendous autocrats when they slam tho
gates In the faces OF people trying to board
O starting train; but the long and marvel
lous record OF these railroads, unspotted by
single accident at such jnnctures. is sufi-
cient to Justify the men aud the regulations.
But arresting passengers is not in their
province.

towns and cities may be reluctant about ad-
ding to their Indebtedness the Sims re-
quired for the purchase or establishment OF

Cas and electricity at cost is aiiuring.
Whether that cost can be kept down or not
will depend upon the aptitude, intelligence.
md honesty OF the managers appointed by
the Mayors and Selectmen. Il has not been
found usually that public corporations arc
botter served IN matters Of business than
private persons: and the Massachusetts
municipalities that engage In the gas and
electric business will take q considerable
rick. II, however. they should be able to
furnish gos and electricity at prices consid-
erably less than those prevailing under pri-
vate management, and still should be able
to show profit. or only a nominal loss. we
may expect to see further intruslons OF tho
Government. municipal, State. and national.
into what is now tho domain Of individual
enterprise. We have no objections to the
people OF Massachusetts having cheap gas
and electricity, but as earnest believers In
Democracy and in the limitation OF all
government to strictly necessary functions,
We are unable to hope for the successful
operation Of tho Municipal Lighting act.

Gently renewed their encroachments. carry
Ing them 90 far as to menace the independ-
ence Of the republic
It Is under these circumstances that Presi-
dent PALAcIo now appeals to the American
Government for support In the maintenance
Of vonezuela's rights. Ten days ago the
Washington Poet made the allegation, prob
ably without knowledge of the facts, TINT
Secretary BLAINE had already promised the
Venezuelan Government that 1t would re-
ceive tho strongest possible moral sup
port from the United States.
Tho case is one in which policy OF re-
serve IL desirable in these times, as 1t was
at another time when Our intervention was
Invoked by Venezuela. Tho boundary dis
pute involves questions that are worry COM
plioated. The belligerent attitude OF the
two dieputants is unfavorable to the main
tenance Of peace between them. Venezuela
has asked the Belgian Government to act as
an arbitrator between the claimants. Ven-
ezuela has boundary disputes with Brazil
and Colombia, as we'll as with British
Guiana, and wo cannot support II In oil OF
them. Venezuela is afflicted frequently with
civil commotions andrevolts, and It is better
to avoid all unnecessary dealings with any
Government that may happen to bo In
power there.
We have no doubt therefore. that Secre.
tary BLAINE will adopt policy OF circum-
spection In replying to President PALAcro's
appeal for support in resisting British en-
croachments upon Venezuelan territory.

President Palaclo's Appeal.

We learn through dispatches from Wash
inctOn thnt President PALACIo OF Venezuela
has again appealed to our Government for
aid In preventing encroachments upon Ven
ezuelan territory by the British authorities
OF British Guiana.
The relations between Venezuela and the
adjacent Britis!, possession have recently
been strained to the point OF danger, and we
may ut any time hear OF the opening OF
hostillties on the Orinoco. Several Incl
dents occurring within the present year have
increased the strain. In January last, the
Venezuelan authorities selzsd a British
trading vessel at Margarita. on the
ground that its Captain did not possess 8
proper credentials; and the dispute over
the questions involved has not yet
been settled. In February British
subject who crossed from Guiana to
Venezuela was shot and killed as
trespasser; and his Government has
since then attempted, without success, to
secure the punishment Of tho Venezuelan
sergeant by whose orders he was slain. In
March 1t was reported that q tight
had taken place on the frontier between
small bodies OF Vonezuelans and Brit
ish troops, and other reports Of like
kind have been received since then. In
the mean time there has been an enlarge
ment OF the British military force occupying
the disputed territory. and the British Ad-
miral on the station holds his cruisers
ready Tor action. The Venezuelan Gov
ernment Is likewise on tho alert; its we'll

and its small navy. which has been enlarged
by several gunboats procured from this

week or two since we published Q brief
and airy despatch from Chicago purporting to
give the substance and the language OF q con.
versation between reporter and Senator In
CALLS. 1t has already heen stated that Senator
INGALLS, repudiates this report: and brief
note which We yesterday received from him
makes the repudiation more emphatic:
Ises by the Dispatches this way that you lot that
wretchsd false CHICAGO interview into TAG sux There
should b soms way to punish such assassins - the
manufacturers OF these wantoa ibes: and I should
think that reputable journals would outlaw them for
the protection Of the honor of the profession"
There ID only one adequate rule for such
case. No interview should be published with
out submitting its averments to the party
interviewed. and obtaining his appreciation.
This is the rule which We endeavor to observe
In The Sun. and We commend 1t to our con-
temporaries everywhere. No advantage can
be gained from the publication OF such an
article as this which Mr.. INGALLS, condemns.
No advantage can be gained from the publica.

Sir EDWARD CLARKE, in closing for tho

had been said that oven II the jury found for

his name would yst be struck from the army

caused great excitement In the court room.
and Is greeted by our New York contsmpora-
ries as "a blow at WALES" and 40 carrying

1t is. however. dif1cult 10 geo how such .
statement can be claimed logically as an arGu.
ment in favor OF the plantlf. or how It nsces-
sarily reflects injurlously on the Prince Of
WALES. Tho learned counsel does not cay
what he is made to say in Newspaper head

army rolls. CUMMINGS cannot como ofi." but
merely that II Sir WILLIAM GORDON CUM
MING wins his suit there is no moro reason
for removing him than the Prince from the
army. That statement may be true enough.
for II Sir WILLIAM wins his suit for libel
his character is vindicated from the charge Of
cheating at cards. and there would then be NO
more propriety in requiring him to resign
from the army than any other officer who
plays cards TOT money. whether no be Prince or
General. But what has this statement. true or
not. to DO with the question Mt Issue. whether
Sir WILLIAM was or was not libellously charged
with cheating? 1t has nothing to do with
that question. and that Is the sole question
before the jury But II 1t did logically reflect
on the character OF the Prince Of WALES. as
It does not. II would still be irrelevant and un-
worthy Of great lawyer. The inevitable sug-
gestion 10 that the plaintiffs cause Is SO weak
that nothineis left for his counsel but to abuse
the other side-a device that ought not to mis-
lead thoughtful persons in tho jury or out OF It.

Measuring Thought.

A writer in an electrical journal has
proposed to measure thought by means
OF the heat developed within the brain
acting upon thermopile. The PROPOSE
ton was received in some quarters with
considerable skepticism. The thing, how
ever, can easily be DONE Not long ago
celebrated electrician stated that he
could think hole through an inch
board" and by connecting drill SO that
it could be actuated by the current pro-
duced he actually did it.
A. E. Dolbear, writing on this subject,
says that the experiment, far from being
new or llnpracticable, was carried out in
this country more than twenty years ago
by DR.. Lambard, Harvard college. A
thermopile was connected with delicate
astatic galvanometer, and person &C.
lected for the test. The individual was
placed in q reclining posture, and the
therlnopile touched his head. A certain
place was found where temperature
changes in the skull were more quickly
apparent than elsewhere, and the instru-
ment was fixed at that place. So long
as the subject remained mentally passive
the galvanometer needle remained quiet
ly at zero, but as soon as word was
spoken to attract his attention, the needle
would at once be detected, though no
muscle had moved. A noise outside, q
door opening, or any incident that would
cause concentrated attention would have
o marked effect on the needle.
It Is now proposed to measure the rel
alive strengths Of various mental efforts,
as, for instance, working out problems
in mental arithmetic or geometry. read
ing English, Latin, German or any other
language, in all of which processes it
will be easy to ascertain by the move
ments of the needle the respective de-
gree of effort made by the person expert
mented upon. In this connection it may
be mentioned that Charles Dickens re-
marked that the mental effort involved
in learning shorthand was equal to that
Of learning several languages. This hui
morous idea can now be put to an exact
test.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
