of Virgins and DeVoe, so that they claim
the verifcation of a promised tornado

sALIsBURYs WEAK PLEA.

Lord Salisbury's reported communica-
ton on the proposition for a closed season
in sealing puts the boot on the other foot
so far as the attacks on Secretary Blaine
in the same connection are concerned. 1t
was charged that the Secretary OF State
was dcdging the closed season proposition
in the interest of the North American
Commercial Company. If the statements
from Washington yesterday are not made
out of wholecloth the British Government
confesses that it is delaying acceptance of
the proposal for fear of Canadian crit
icism.
This attitude puts the British Ministry
painstakingly in the wrong. On the pend
ing proposition the claims of the United
States that Behring'S Sea is closed sea, or
that the United States has the right to pro-
hibited open water sealing as an act of
piracy, do not appear Indeed this propo-
sition practically abandons those claims,
and calls upon the British Government to
Join with the United States in protecting a
valuable interest from extinction. To
reply that the Salisbury Cabinet would
really like to do this, but that it cannot do
what it thinks is right for fear of the Cana
dams, is almost pitifuL

eoRMAN AND CLEVELAND.

The New York Sun has given the pur-
port of a conversation between President
Cleveland and Senator German during the
campaign of 1888. The statement is that
Mr. Cleveland, regarding the outlook for
the Democrats as unfavorable, sent for
Senator German and requested him to go
to New York and take charge of the cam
paign work. Senator German Is reported
to have agreed that the outlook was unfa-
yorable, and to have said that he would 60
to work if the President would do three
things. Being asked to name his require
ments, he stated them as follows:
First-Mr Pearson must be removed from
the postoffios in New York and a Democrat
must be appointed in his place. Second
Mr.. Graves must be removed from the posi-
ton of Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and the place given to true and
trusty Democrat. Third-You must accept
the resignation of Mr.. Judd as postmaster st
Chicago, which resignation was rendered
some time ago, and some -unobjectionable
Democrat must be appointed to that Office.
With the sequel that the President
agreed to do the last but stated that he
could not do the first tive things, and that
Senator German thereupon replied, "Then
VIC are beaten, and you have beaten us, !"
this story of inside politics closes From
merely party point of view, this story is
more to the credit of Mr.. Cleveland than
Mr. German. The Maryland Senator had
been charged by others than Mr.. Cleve-
land with the duty of the campaign work.
He occupied an active position on the Con-
gressional Campaign Committee and had
also, we believe, accepted position on
the National Executive Committee; If it
be true that when asked to discharge those
duties he haggled and made terms over
the filling of certain offices, it is necessary
to conclude that Arthur Pue German can
not be described by the pleonasm which
the brilliant San puts into his mouth of "a
true and trusty Democrat"
The other comment the story evokes is
the exceedingly stupid idea of politics
which it attributes to Senator German.
No question of national policy, no an
nouncement of principles affecting the
public interest was, in his opinion, re-
| quired to secure popular favor. 1t was
simply necessary to put three fat offices in
Democratic hands in order to bribe the
! Democratic wheel horses to support the
party ticket. This is not only a sordid
view of politics, but it is an absolutely un-
truthful one. AS THE DISPATCH has
heretofore often shown, the political his
tory of past years has again and again
proved that the distribution of Offices as
the spoil of party workers is source of
weakness. The superstition that it is nee
essary, together with that about big cam
paign funds, is inculcated by the practical
politicians solely for their own susie
nance.
On the whole if Senator German has any
regard for his reputation as a politician of
any level higher than the lowest grade he
will not regard this story as one he cares
to have published.

Mrs. NJ. R. DIXON, of Brooklyn, who is
one of the most successful figure painters
among women artists, has lately completed

then finished his discourse in his shirt

Miss NJ. G. MCCLELLAND, noted Vir-

Miss McClelland is of middle age, tall and
slender, and with iron gray hair parted over
her forehead. She is a genuine Southern
woman, kindly and cordial of manner,
hearty and pleasant of voice.
MAJOR WILHELM Won MOLTKE and
Major Helmuth Won Moltke; the nephews of
the dead field marshal, have been the objects
of much interest recently in Germany.
Major Helmuth, who was named after his
uncle, acted as his personal adjutant, and

of the general staff.
REV. MELANCTHoN w. JACoBUs, Of
Oxford, Pa, who has been called to the

Hartford Theological Seminary, preached

terrain Church at Pittsburg. He is theauthor
of several works on Biblical subjects, and is
said to be man of great learning.
WHISTLER and Oscar Wilde are great
friends. The story goes that on one occasion
Whistler told very funny story, and after
the applause had ceased. Wilde drawled out
somewhat peevishly: "Egad. Whistler
wish I'd said that" Thereupon Whistler re-
torted, amiably and soothingly: "Ah, never
mind, Oscar, but have patience, for you will
say it, indeed you WILL"

VERDICT AGAINST ITSELF.

The termination of trial in Chicago,
which is one of the echoes of the famous
CrOnin case, calls attention to the idiosyn-
crasies of the jury system. A newspaper
there commented sharply on the action of
a member of the jury named Culver in
securing that famous verdict, which, by the
very circumstances of the case, was i'm
possible. if verdicts aim at the truth. Mr..
Culver sued the paper for libel The YER
diet was given in favor of the newspaper,
thus leaving the position of the juror worse
than before.
This case, in connection with New
Orleans infamy, presents fOrpublic consid-
Grafton the very significant picture of the
Jury system impeaching itself At New
Orleans it was the grand jury which
formally declared that the trial jury
in a murder case rendered false verdict
and betrayed justice. At Chicago one
trial jury impeaches another. In the lat
ter instance the authority of one jury might
be held to offset the other But the i'm
portant point is that here are two noted
cases in which, by formal and legal findings
in subsequent cases. the jury system places
itself on record as having defeated justice.
Such finding should demonstrate to
every one the necessity Of some reform in
the jury system AS at present constituted
it contains but slight assurance of justice,
and when that is the case it is worse than
useless. Whether it is necessary to abolish
it altogether, or whether some reforms can
be instituted to insure the character and in
dependence of juries, may be an open ques-
ton. But when the jury system eonvicts
itself there is no room for disputing that
something should be done.
