If 1t Was in the Paper 1t Must Be So.
An English book, "Wild Life on a Tidal
Wave" describes a conversation in Il Var
mouth barrooln:
The a~mphibious water side population
were exchanging ideas, and among them a
plethoric cartwright and Il stout sailor.

one vote business" said the boatwright
emphatically.
"No use, matey? Why not? Fares to
me every man has a right to have a voice
in the fttin of the vessel; it's just like a
vessel arter all, for none need go to sea in
a vessel if she fare badly found. But
faint so with this here wotin; ones got to
sign the articles no matter what skipper
sails her." retorted the sailor decisively.

cartwright. brains is the thing"

swered tho mariner; "but what l say ISL
Didn't l tell you it was in the peaper,

humbly, "Well, we all know eff thet's

a ~listless mood, he was crossing Finsbury
pavement when an omnibus driver cracked
his whip and called out, "Over the water

perhaps regarding it as a providential call,
and got into the omnibus, which put him
down outside Mr.. Surgeons tabernacle.
He was not in the habit of attending di-

for that. They are not a warlike people,
and if they were their isolated situation
renders them subject to England with
very little cost of treasure or military
exertion. The French element in New
foundland, while not very strong, is not
at all friendly to the United States, while
the English element has natural affilia-
ton with the Dominion provinces and
close relations with the Canadian people.
1t is altogether more probable that France
will consider favorably the proposition
now broached to accept Gambia in lieu of
her claims in Newfoundland, and aban-
don all pretension to rights upon the
island, and that such settlement will be
agreeable to the people of Newfoundland.
There is certainly nothing to warrant the
statement that they are antagonistic to the
mother country to the point of revolu-
ton. The French fishery claims alone
have caused friction, and that does not
justify belief that there will be resort to
other than peaceful methods.

WE have our own vendettas-more the
shame-but none end more satisfactorily
than those of the American stamp. In
Italy they continue through many gen.
erations, and some have kept their spirit
for centuries. Here such feuds as arise
between factions of blood scarcely last
out a generation. The telegraphic dis
patches announce the close of the Ken
lucky vendetta between the Hatfield and
Mccoy families, by the engagement of a
pair representing both sides to the bloody
controversy, in which it is said two hun
dred lives have been sacrificed in the last
thirty years. The marriage is to take
place in May, and both clans have agreed
to assemble and bury the hatchet beyond
possibility of resurrection.

NEWFOUNDLAND TROUBLES.

Some of our Eastern contemporaries
have INDUCED in the speculation that the
difficulty between the French and Eng
lish in Newfoundland would lead to the
separation of that province from the Brit
ish Empire and its union with the United
States. We have seen nothing in the COR
respondence between English and French
authorities, nor in the expressions of the
Newfoundland people, to warrant such
conclusions. In the first place, if New
foundland separates from English con-
nection it will be as an independence.
and not then with the consent of Eng
land. Without it the accomplishment can
only be attained through revolution, and
the people of Newfoundland are not pre-
pared and will not be In this generation

REPORTED CONFESSION.

The report comes from New Orleans
with great deal of circumstantiality,
that the Louisiana Attorney-G General has
been in close conference with the remain
ing prisoners held for the Hennessy as
sassination, and that in New Orleans the
story has acceptance, that these prisoners
have confessed, or are prepared to do so,
and will reveal the entire inner history of
the Malta organization, showing it to be
what has been believed of it, that it is
band of vicious men consorting for pur-
poses of blackmail only, and enforcing
their schemes by intimidation, and
covering their tracks by murder where
there is resistance.
The confession, if it is made, will clear
the atmosphere concerning the taking off
OF Chief Hennessy, and go far towards
settling public opinion concerning the
more recent New Orleans tragedy There
is much reason to believe the story of the
breaking down Of the prisoners reti-
SSiASS' AhOy SApO1lShCCu tClIlOlS
shock, from which they have not yet re-
covered, when their comrades were shot
by the mob; they were themselves ranged
against wall to be executed, and only
by the most earnest pleading Of the lead
ers OF the mob were their lives spared.
There is every inducement for them to
reveal the truth, for even if released,
they know that they must leave the State
of Louisiana, and that by confessing they
can hope for more leniency if convicted.
Moreover, in all bands Of assassins, there
are traitors, and the Malta is not an ex-
ception to the rule. Men who engage in
such awful work are so morally weak
that some among them when cornered
are certain to break down.
But no confession by the prisoners will
be of any value unless it is in line with
known facts, and with circumstances that
tend to corroborate the revelations. It is
a settled rule of law and is the dictate of
wisdom, that the confession of murder
Gus confederate shall not be accepted, nor,
indeed, that of a principal, unless there is
corroborating testimony, direct or cir
cumstantial.

Plies Can Be Cured.

Richard Bennett, Westfield, N. Y,
writes:
"For thirty-two years suffered from
piles, both internal and external, with all
their attendant agonies, and like many
others suffered from hemorrhoids. All
those thirty-two years I had to cramp
myself to pay doctors and druggists for
stuff that was doing me little or no good.
Finally was urged by one who had had
the same complaint, but had been cured
