SPANISH CABINET CRISIS.
MiSmanagemento of Columbus Fete Funds
 the Cause of Contention.

Encouragement of Columbus Fete Funds
 the Cause of Contention.
 MADRID, Nov 30 The Cabinet Coun- cil brought to light irreconcilable divis ions among the Ministers. The subject of contention is the prosecution of the municipal authorities for corruption in the management of funds for the Colum- bus fetes.
 The misappropriation of funds has been virtually proved. The Governor of the city, who is most deeply involved, is known to have conducted every part O i the arrangements which he touched solely to fill his own pockets.
 Large sums which were to be expended on the fetes are said to have been squand- cred upon editors and correspondents ill order that they might be induced tC hold their peace as to his dishonesty.
 There it strong popular demand fo, investigation and prosecution, in which three Ministers concur. The other Min isters fear the consequences for tho Cabin ct and the popular tumult whicf the revelations would probably provoke
 A crisis is regarded as imminent.

THE story of the pardoning of the life prisoners in Massachusetts state prison on Thanksgiving day appeals in direct fashion to our sensibilities, and we are apt to regard 1t as a noble custom, one born of love of humanity and a desire to serve it. It is, however, practice that has it's objectionable features. It may sometimes be well to exercise eX. ecutive clemency on prisonersswho have learned the chief lesson of their punish ment, who through the ordeal which they have passed have come with chastened spirit, men who can be trusted to go forth among men and be- come honorable and upright citizens. When the authorities are satisfied that they have such prisoner, there is no good purpose served III waiting until Thanksgiving day for his pardon and re- lease. The sooner he begins the new life the better. And no man who has not learned his lesson, who cannot be depended upon to.take up an honorable course of life, ought to be released, tc enter upon his old criminal habits again. The Massachusetts custom does not appeal to our reason, however much it's practice touches our hearts.

A Unique Organization.

Chicago, the great center of vari- ous clubs and associations, representa- tive of all nationalities, has had one more added to it's list. The new organization will hold unique place in the history of the city, for in the first place it is probable that no other of the kind exists in the country. The asso- citation, which was formed at meeting held at the Grand Pacific the other evening, is composed of the Japanese residents of Chicago, and its existence is due to the worlds fair, for it is only since the arrival of oriental mechanics who are working on their native build ing that the organization became pos sible. The object is mutual benefit and support. The members will also form themselves into a sort of vigilance com mittee, to keep away from Chica go the undesirable members of their race who may wish to quit San Francisco and ether cities on the Pacific coast for a more fruitful field of operation during the worlds fair. The following officers were chosen: President, Dr. s. Ikuta; secretary, T. SasaIi; treasurer, K. Nakayama.

MELLOR DOOMED TO DIE
Sentenced to Swing for the
 Oldham Murder.
\ CABINET CRISIS IN sPAlk

Brought About Through Attempts |, Prosecute Madrid Omoial. for S,e"limi Columbus Celebration Funds-M. Bri>' son Summoned to Form a Now Prone! Cabinet.
 LONDON, Nov. 80. Joseph MelIor Ina been sentenced to death by Manchester court for having murdered his wife early In September. He has written a lette, to the effect that Lizzie Sunderland, | young unmarried woman, plotted tn. murder with him in order that he might be free to marry her.
 This case, known as the Oldham mur- der, has excited widespread interest in England on account of the bloodthirstf ness of Mellor's conduct. Mrs. Melloi disappeared early in September and Mel Tor told inquiring neighbors that she had gone to see her i'll mother.
 His story was received with suspicion, which grew as the weeks passed and his wife failed to return.
 On Dec. IS woman looked through the kitchen window of Me llor's hous, while Mellor was out, and saw a hole iu the floor.
 She called the landlord, and he broke in the door. He found the hole to be six feet long and three feet wide, and par tially filled with bloody clothing
 Under a stairway he found Mrs. Mellor' body and blood stained butcher knife Her wounds showed that she had been stabbed in the mouth, breast, and stom ach, that her windpipe had been cut and that her head had been beaten witt a club.
 When arrested Mellor gave no mott V for the crime, and none has been ascer tained except the one suggested by tn letter mentioned above.

HENRY PATTERSON agrees with Pres

HENRY PATTERSON agrees with Pres ident Garfield that the ultimate object of the tariff should be. the abolition of the protective principle. He. remarks, very much as did President Garfield, how ever, that nobody. need apprehend pre- cIpitation." This bugbear of free trade IS reduced, therefore, to. a call for it at the time when it is safe for the country to undertake free trade. When Colonel Watterson, who is one of the most radi- cal men on the subject of the tariff in the country, takes thisygronnd, we don't think there need be very serious appre- hension on the. part of even the most timid business men that their interests are threatened for a considerable time ln the future.

MODERN science has discovered new function, that is, an unknown function, of the ear. It seems that the ear is not alone an organ of hearing, but it also has good deal to do with the sense of equilibrium. Some interesting expert ments have recently been made by gov ernment scientists at Washington on sharks. They find that when portion of sharks auditory apparatus has been removed he is unable to maintain his balance in the water. The part of the ear on which this faculty seems to depend is the labyrinth. If the nerve leading to the labyrinth is cut the same effect is produced of upsetting the ami malls balance.

THE fiftieth annual report of vital statistics for the state of Massachusetts contains some interesting facts. There was an increase of 145 divorces for the year 1891 over the number for the year 1890. Nearly 70 per cent of these divorces were granted on complaint of the wife, while SC. per cent of all these attempts to obtain divorces were not contested. A significant statement in this connection is that which declares the average married life of those seek ing divorce to have been over ten years, Marriages, births and deaths were all greatly in excess of the figures for any previous year for decade or so, while an interesting fact in the case of. births is that 6,712 more children .of.. foreign parentage were born in the state than the number of children born of Ameri- can parents. A great many of these children of foreign blood, it may be re- marked, were of French Canadian ori. gin.

Permanent Value orthe Worlds Fair.

tSEIndneuC dAuC O1 ltAO W OTAO
 The architectural part of the worlds fair at Chicago has been generally voted successful, and the contents of the structures on the artificial lagoons of Lake Michigan will doubtless prove not less interesting. But if the mere pleas ure of gazing on the triumphs of archi- tects, sculptors and painters, of invent ors and manufacturers, of farmers, miners and stoclzraisers were all that the Worlds Columbian exposition means to the United States, that fair would be hideous waste of money and time. The fair is to be opened but six months, and after that the buildings, with few exceptions, will stand useless and, if not taken down at once, pass into the various phases of degeneration through the clements. The value of the fair, however, does not lie in the buildings or their contents; it lies in the lessons learned by experts in the several classes into which the articles exposed may be divided. It is a huge object lesson to the union, enabling each professional man, each artisan, each farmer to see how his own work is done in other na- tions and other states.

MERIDEN taxpayers are finding fault because the committee on estimates recommend a twelve mill tax for 1893, which leads the Journal to say: Meri- den taxpayers who are inclined to kick over the twelve mill tax that the, com mon council committee on estimates have decided to recommend for the cur rent year, are respectfully informed that the board of finance of the city of Waterbury at their meeting last. night, recommended the laying of a city tax of twenty-six mills on the dollar on the ratable estates within the limits of said city on the grand list of the town of Waterbury.
