NEWSPAPER OPINION.

Eondon's Incomprehensible Greatness.
London Spectator.
No one, as John Bright once said IN a
public speech, not the oldest cab driver
or the most experienced policeman, really
knows London, and very few know il
even through study as they know for
eign countries. 1t is the rarest thing IN
the world TO meet any one who remem-
bers that London Is one of the greatest
manufacturing cities-there are, II we
remember Alright, l46 600 factory girls In
London--or who Is even aware that the
foreign element would make capital city
itself; that there are towns full OF Ger
mans, Italians, Frenohmen, and foreign
Jews, who are lost among us as invisi
BILE, except in Regents Park on Sunday,
or in their special quarters as sailors in
theWest End There are thousands of the
wealthy, who almost everywhere else arc
as visible as COWS among sheep; tens Of
thousands OF the comfortable; millions Of
fairly content workers; tens of thous-
ands, again, of men who, in all ex-
cept some vague and imperfect respect
for law and the ability to read are coated
and trousered savages A suspension of
wages In London for month would pro
duoe a calamity to shock mankind: a
wave Of insurgent fiction would wreck
the prosperity Of England, and be felt
throughout the world -the demand Of
one London firm literally makes and I'M
makes the comfort of the ivory hunters
OF East Africa-the approach Of hostile
siege train would produce an anarchy
that historians would record for thous.
and years.

ONE thing must not be forgot in favor
OF the New York detectives and police

namely, If Jack the Ripper has not
been caught he has been stopped He

Senator Carlisle Of Kentucky, in a re-
cent interview expressed his views in re
gard to the political situation. Iu his
opinion, unless the situation changes
very much. any competent and honest
Democrat nominated for President in
1892 can be elected He does net think
that the third party will prove an N
pertant factor in the coming national con
test, even should il determine TO nominate
& candidate, The most 1t could accom-
lish would he to throw the election into
the House. in which event a Democrat
would certainly be chosen. Mr.. Carlsile
says Mr.. Clevelands letter In opposition
to the free coinage of silver excited con-
siderable feeling against him in some
parts Of the country and very consider
ably increased his popularity In some
other parts, but whether In the end II
will prove advantageous or disRdvanta.
geous remains to be seen. ut would, -
says Mr. Carlisle, "be exceedingly bad
policy to permit the silver question 10
become the paramount one in the cam
paign Of 1892 1t Is a question upon
which there are honest differences Of op'n.

questions Of equal or greater Importance

strength instead Of dividing it." Mr..

pretty 12.year- old girl, whose name

o'clock. She was up the Brandywne at

the girl started to walk on the boom.
intending to land on the stones that
formed the south end Of the dam, All
went we'll until she was half way over
The boom began its oscillations the
water began to rush over the sinking
beam and the girl began to scream loudlg
for help. Fortunately for her several
men were near by OF she would have go Ie
into the water and been carried under
the race gates. William Gum, one Of
the Democratic police nominees, walked
the boom carefully until he reached the
girl In doing so he lost his balance and
came very near going overheard At
last he reached her and together they
did the tightrope balance act to the
other side, with the aid of man who
steadied tbs beam, When they reached
the farther side the pretty little miss
shook her white dress. gave her deliverei
a smile and few words Of thanks and
rejoined her young companions It is
safe to assert that she will not "hoom'
the undertaker's and coroner's prospects

DEATH FROM POISON.

LOUISVILLE. KY, April 1s-B. F.
Guthrie, one of the richest men of this
city, died this morning from arsenical poi
soning. He was one of the fifty poisoned
at the Snooks-Herr wedding. All the peo-
pie made sick are suffering severely, and
the bride and groom had to return from
their wedding trip, and both are danger
ously i'll. There is great mystery as to
how and by whom the poison was admin
istered.
1t seems sure that the poisoning at the
wedding at Linden, near this city, was by
arsenic placed in the spring from which
water was supplied. Albert Herr is a
wealthy farmer, and gathered at his daugh-
ter's wedding Wednesday some of the
most prominent people of the city and
county. Of those. on returning to their
homes, about sixty showed signs of pos-
oning, but not till B. F. Guthrie's sudden
change for the worse after midnight last
night, and death this morning, were there
reports of danger. Now number of 9TH
ers are worse, and it is expected several
will die. All those present at the wedding
breakfast were poisoned, including the
bride and groom. Mrs. Snooks, Rev. T.
I. Martin, Fannie Crab, Mrs Guthrie.
Mrs Gray, Mrs. Warren and the driver.
Beacham, are in a critical condition
Death may come to one or all before morn
ing. John Wagner, Mrs Hornsby, L. l..

still in danger. The others, it is hoped,

OWE AND SiIICIDF.

NEW YORK. April 1S.-A report was re-
ceived at police headquarters at Hoboken
this afternoon of murder and suicide.
The message came from the river front,
and the story is: The German ship Elder
was to sail at o'clock. A short time be-
fore the departure young couple came to
the wharf. They were talking earnestly,
and the young lady seemed to be greatly
distressed and had evidently been crying,
as her eyes were red. They went on board
the ship and in short time two pistol
shots were heard. The young lady fell to
the deck. The young man had shot her
and then shot himself They were killed
instantly. The young man was Charles
Ommecker and the young lady was Louise
Ornecher. They were sweethearts. She
came from Germany two weeks ago to
join Ommecker. Today she was return
ing home.
