Shedding Ills Skin.

William Baldwin, time-keeper at the
Farrell foundry in Ansonia, Conn, is
shedding his skin. He had high fever
followed by an eruption of the skin.
Last week he loosened the skin at his
wrist and little careful work enabled
him to move it entirely from the hand
rs one would glove. Then he started
the skin from one foot and IL all came
off in one piece, while large pieces are
peeled from his arms and body, leaving
raw healthy skin underneath, as fine
and soft as that of a baby. II is evi
dent that every portion of the skin on
his body Is to come off before the work
of healing Is completed.

A CALL FOR INFORMATION.

The unprecedented rainfall of the
past two weeks, which has turned vast
areas of inhabited and cultivated coun-
try into inland seas, will impress those
who consider the matter with the fact
of the general ignorance regarding the
laws or the conditions of the gathering
and distribution of water from the
clouds. In few days there fell upon a
limited area of the country, compared
with its vastness. quantity of water
that can be measured only as lakes and
seas. For days seemingly exhaustless
reservoirs of water were held in the
clouds and let down in torrents. From
whence did it Gomez Where was it
during the drought of 1890. when the
country was burned almost to a cinder7
Was it suspended somewhere under
conditions which prevented the con-
densation necessary to precipitation
What were the conditions which caused
it to fall in floods, and what we're those
which denied it to the country
when all nature prayed for a
shower? These and other questions
in the same general tenor suggest them
selves to the unlearned in these mat
ters. Are there those who are learned,
and are the learning and investigation
of specialists in this subject going to
discover remedy one of these days
which will prevent such extremes Of
food and drought? Just now such con-
troll seems beyond comprehension, but
can some scientific control of the supply
of moisture be regarded more an i'm
possibility than the suggestion of the
telegraph would have been a century
agoP At any rate, natural scientists can
give the public great deal of infOrma-
tion upon the subject which now would
be very interesting.

THE NEW POWER IN BRITISH AFFAIRS.

The declaration of Lord Salisbury,
the Prime Minister of Great Britain, re-
garding the free-trade policy of that
nation, the action OF the Ministry rela-
tive to the silver conference and the in
terest both parties are taking in the
labor question are not difficult to ac-
count for. A general election must take
place next year at furthest. The pres
ent House of Commons was elected in
July, 1886, and assembled the next
month. Seven years being the limit.
the present body must dissolve about
year hence. As matter of fact, no
Parliament during the present century
has served the full seven years, the
longest being little over six years, and
the average length of life three years
and ten months. In other words, the
British people are OH the eve of a ma
tional election quite as important and
quite as absorbing as our presidential
election. The phrase British people is
properly used in connection with gen.
eral election in that country now, be-
cause one pcESou HI Blk Oh the entire
population votes for members of the
House of Commons, which shapes the
policy of the government. The act
of 1884 increased the number of
voters in the United Kingdom from
3.152,910 to 5.711.325 in 1885. This
extension of the franchise has made
the wage-earDing element a decided
power in all future elections, while
the redistribution act of 1885 has di-
vided the kingdom into districts,
mainly upon the basis of population,
greatly augmenting the popular influ-
ence in elections; consequently, the
pending election in Great Britain will
be a popular election in sense that
British elections have never before
The Indianapolis journal., 1892-05-22

been. This being the case, the leaders
of political parties in Great Britain are
appealing to more different classes
than they were quarter of
century ago. The votes are now with
the people, and the party which will
succeed in the pending elections is
the one which can secure the majority
of nearly three million voters who were
enfranchised by the act of 1884. Lord
Salisbury condemns the free-trade
policy because the sentiment of the
masses in England is gravitating toward
protective policy. His Ministry leans
toward the larger use of silver because
the sentiment of manufacturers and
boards of trade tends in that direction.
He is discussing schemes for the benefit
of labor because. for the first time. in
general election. the vote of the wage
earning classes will be the most potent
factor In British politics.

NEGRO LYNCHINes IN THE SOUTH.

The frequency of the lynching of
negroes in the South on the charge
of assaulting white women is Great
ing quite general suspicion as to the
genuineness of their cause. In ad-
dition to this suspicion that this
charge is pretext to murder negroes is
the recollection that since the war two
or three varieties of negro murder have
been practiced. There was the Ku
Klux, with its midnight violence and
murder to deter the colored man from
voting. This was followed by a milder
form of punishment for leaders who had
made themselves obnoxious, consisting
of whipping, with Punishment. Of late
the lynching for assaulting women has
been the prevalent method of treat
ing the negro in order to hold
him in subjectlon and to keep
alive the hatred of race. There are two
valid reasons why there should not be
such a frequency of the crime as the
1ynchings indicate. During the war
the negroes were left in charge of large
sections of country, the white men being
in the army; and yet it is the general
testimony of Southern whites that the
negroes gave security to defenseless
women and children during that period.
In many cities in the North the colored
population is large and as is the case
with city population generally. it en-
braces a great deal of the lawless-
ness and viciousness in the country. In
this city the colored population Is large
and it includes a considerable number of
toughs, but one will search the criminal
records covering a number of years
in vain to find a case of GRIM
inal assault upon a white woman
by cOlOred man. If cOlored men
during the war we're not guilty of such
Outrages and are not so now in Northern
cities, why should such offenses sudden
ly become SO numerous in portions of
the South where detection and cruel
death are certain? 1t would be unjust
to hold any considerable number of the
people of tho South responsible for these
lynchinRs. which. even if the crimes
were committed, are Iawless; still there
is every reason to suspect from the
frequency of the lyDchings that law
less. negro-hating element exists in
parts of the South which make such
charges cover for brutal methods en-
ployed to keep the negro in subjection.
The laws are ample, the courts are be-
yOnd the influence of the negro and pun
ishment is certain; consequently. if the
crimes were actually committed. there
is no excuse for such tiendish numbering
of negroes as the telegraph brings ac-
counts of nearly every day. Eventually,
not only in the decline of material pros
perity, but in the loss of personal Sc
curity, the Southern people will pay the
penalty. Once the lawless element finds
itself in control, color will not be bar
rier to lawless outrage.

A RIDICULOUS craze is reported to be
spreading in sections of Michigan. grow
ing out of desire to raise money to pay
off church debts and for other charitable
purposes, which consists in women per-
forming all kinds of work to which they
are not adapted. to obtain money. The
wife of bank president. in one town,
peddled fragrant brand of soft soap
and scrubbed the floor of the hotel ele-
vator; another sold popcorn on the
streets, third went about blackening
stoves. The wife of the station agent
disguised herself and got the job of CIV
ing the depot spring cleaning. In an
other town a band of girls went about
the streets blacking boots and washing
the windows of the shop-keepers.
These are samples of the absurd things
which are reported to have been done to
raise money for churches. There is rea-
son to suspect that an unnatural desire
for notoriety has had quite as much in
huence in leading women to perform
such service as devotion to the church.
1t seems not to occur to such people that
they are depriving class of people who
do such work of the means of self sup
port. At last reports the craze was
spreading. May it be kept within the
borders of Michigan.

WILL the soldiers monument be like
a reed shaken in the wind7 1t looks as
solid as one of the Rocky mountains,
but an engineering expert of this city is
authority for the statement that a very
heavy wind, such as we sometimes have,
will cause it to sway six or seven inches
from the perpendicular. On the other
hand, another engineering and archi-
tectural expert says this is all nonsense.
He says no wind that will ever blow will
move the monument the thousandth
part of an inch from perpendicular. and
that there is no mathematical formula by
which any different conclusion could be
reached. The Journal inclines decided
ly to the latter opinion.
