Queer Theory About 7ns.n,.v.

There is something in the atmos-
pheric conditions that develops insanity
and murderous impulses" said student
of human nature. "That is my theory.
1t is like the grip and other diseases that
prevail at certain times and under GER
tain conditions. There are all sorts of
diseases and impulses in people, and it
only needs the conditions to develop
them. Insanity is a peculiar disease,
and to greater or less degree exists in
a pretty large proportion of mankind.
I'm most cases it is shown in harm
less idiosyncracy and excites no more
comment than mild ridicule, but in
many cases it has homicidal tendency
that is suddenly and unexpectedly de-
veloped. Can this be through natural
and general causes or is it imitation that
produces these mind waves? I believe tits
the former-that general causes similar
to the conditions that produce the grip
wave, the cholera wave, the horse dis
temper wave or any other disease of a
season also tend to unbalance the badly
balanced mind. New York Herald.

A LIBEL.

When the leaves were beginning to
turn in November, Henry Smith
made the discovery that his watch
had stopped, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. He wound it up, tapped it
gently with his knuckles and then
shook it, but it licked only a few
minutes in sickly way, and then 1t
stopped again.
at needs cleaning and new bal
ance staff" said the watch-repairer to
whom he took it.
"You may do the work." Henry
said. How long will it take pr
About week." replied the watch
maker. SIN the meantime you may
carry this WATCH" and he handed out
small silver time-piece, to be wound
with key.
One week from that day Henry
Smith again sought the shop of the
matchmaker to get his watch. The
proprietor of the shop assured him,
smilingly, that the work was not vet
completed, and told him to call in
three or four days.
When Henry Smith called again he
was told that the matchmaker had
been very busy---so busy, in fact, that
he hadn't done Mr.. Smiths work.
Another time was named for the COM
| pletion of the cleaning and the re-
| placing of the balance staff.
Days became weeks; weeks rolled
into months, and still Henry Smith
with lamb-like patience continued to
call for his watch at stated intervals.
He always received the same answer,
unblushingly given, 'not quite DONE"
| Christmas time came and went, and
the old year was licked out by small
silver key wind watch, which re-
posed in the pocket of Henry Smith.
He engaged in the practice of his
profession. Success rewarded his
efforts. He was much sought and
had many engagements, all of which
were faithfully kept on time recorded
by small key wind watch with a
silver case. But in the midst of the
press of his professional duties he still
found time to call periodically for his
watch. 1t was never done. And the
months swelled into years.
Upon the occasion of one call he
had been favored with q glimpse of
his own timepiece. 1t had looked
at him with its white face like some
ghost of the dear, dead past and he
had hurriedly turned and gone out.
Time wheeled on. Gray hairs be-
gan to appear among Henry Smiths
locks, and still he continued to call at
the watchmaker's with ironical per-
sistency.
Occasionally he was accompanied
by one or another of his children
Year succeeded year, and finally his
grandchildren led the hoary headed
lettering old man on his ever-fruitless
mission.
There is no need to trace this sac
narrative to the last sad excruciatine
details. Suffice it to say that there
was a denouement. An affair must
necessarily be serious to have one

Fatal constancx of a Buck.

Lyman Pusshee, of Dennysyille, had a
unique experience in hunting deer last
week. He was lying in wait for deer
when, almost without warning, three
fine animals came into an opening a
short distance from the place of his con-
cealment. They were two does and a
buck. Opening fire, one of the does fell
and the others ran away. Pusshee, still
remaining in hiding, was soon rewarded
by the return of the buck to his dead
mate. A shot, followed by others, failed
to bring the noble fellow down, and
again and again did he return, until
eleven shots had been fired at him, when
he fell, victim to constancy.-Bangor

Tnssla with a manatee.

A live manatee or sea COW was caught
in Biscayne bay few days ago. It gave
its captors lively time and some hard
work to get it across the bay. Some
times it came along as quiet as a lamb
after being exhausted by its efforts to
escape. Then, when somewhat rested,
It would break away, and to prevent
Jwamping their little boat they would
have to give it rope and let it, run awhile.

which means an informal reception for

Immigra1ion. Good and Bad.


The State of Virginia, II populated as
denselv as Belgium. would contain as
many souls as England. So Texas contains
in round numbers 275.o00 square miles OF
territory, and could contain and maintain
a population equal TO the present popula-
ton of the whole United States. This
country could feed and clothe comfortably
SO many people that it looks as If we were
becoming selfish when we propose 70
check immigration from Europe and allow
our own population TO grow up to the
limits of the national territory. Never
theless, selfish or unselfsh the people OF
the United States unquestionably desire a
check to be put upon immigration. We
cannot afford to allow this country to
become the dumping ground of oil the
world. Especially is it true that we can
not undertake to care for eli the criminals
and paupers who by hook CT by crook
manage TO set their feet upon our soil. In
fact, there is widespread dissatisfaction
with the existing condition of things, and
if it continues much longer the Norfolk
Landmarks declaration will become true,
that the people of this country now want
fat-footed opposition to Immigration.
As we have said heretofore, we are not
ready TO mount our Norfolk contempora-
rvs platform, but we will get upon that of
Mr.. CLEVELAND, who says that " the gene
rous hospitality" which prompts US to
welcome the worthy and industrious OF all
ands is not violated by reasonable regula-
tions for the protection of the pubic
health, NOR does it justify the reception
of immigrants who have no appreciation
our institutions, and whose presence
among US is q menace to peace and good
order"
There are so many ties between this
country and a number of European coun-
tries that it would be one of the most diff-
cult things in the world to draft bill to
check immigration which would be accepta'
BILE to majority of our people. There is
an immense number of foreigners in
this country, already naturalized, who
would scan with searching eye such q bill.
1t is not too soon for this question to be
discussed. Our people are generously
hospitable." but they ere also reasonably
anxious that that hospitality shall not be
imposed upon.

Weaver and Pulaski.

ing of sensationalism have been published
with reference to the purpose of General

out that Pulaski is in great excitement t;
that the Third partyites are going to the

hands. and that there is likely to be =" a

menace the presidential aspirant afore-
said.

himself Of the odium attaching 10 him IN
connection with his rule over the helpless
men, women, and children of Pulaski,

this, but if he goes TO Pulaski we trust
that the Democrats of that place will leave
him severely alone. Let him talk. Let
him make his defence against the charges
that have been presented and then let his
sccusers rejoin II necessary.
The charges Of cruelty and extortion
made against WKAyER as Federal CON-
mandant ct Pulaski are supported by the
afidayits of living eitizens-men of intel
igence and good repute who were vic
tins of his malignity. and the southern
people will rather credit them than any
denial which WEAVER may make, now that
he is an applicant for Office. Besides, II
there were no Pulaski record against
wxAvEB, his congressional record shows
that he Is "rebei-hater Of the most ex-
treme sort. Long ago Congressman

Washington correspondent. quoted ex-
tracts from WEAyrR's utterances which

than TO be able to pose before the country

A Colored Centenarian.

We suppose we ought to state that the
JOHN MERRYwE4THER TINsLEY. whose death
in Toronto at the age of 100 years was an
nounced in yesterdays DISPATCH, was a
colored man. This statement will excite
no surprise, seeing that nearly all the CEN
tenarians we read of are oolored people.
Within the last two or three years large
number of old persons have died in this
city, but in ali that time. IN a population
of $4,000 or $1,000 souls, we believe, not one
white male centensrian has gone over to
the majority. But the lady who died IN
Loudoun county about year ago. and
whose portrait and biography we pub
lished in the DISPATCH, was a veritable
centenarian; at least we could see no flaw
in the record, which was transcribed from
the entries made in the family Bible.

Shall they not be permitted to work? Or,

A Graduated Income Tax

In his letter accepting the Democratic
nomination for the House of Representa-
tives in the Second District of Virginia
Hon. WILLIAM A. JONES comes out for a
graduated income tax-that Is TO say, a tax
which bears most heavily upon those who
have most wherewith to pay it. AS
under MIR. JoNEs's proposition nobody re-
ceiying a salary of less than $4,000 a year
would have any income tax at all to pay. 1t
is likely that his proposition will not
meet with general disfavor. MIR. JONES
says:
decreasing revenues Mt period when our
expenditures. mainly tracea bic TO the dependent
pension Law Of the Ffty-hrst Congress, are
rapidly and immensely increasing, imperatively
demand that wealth shall contribute its Just
proportion Of Federal taxation. To that end a
graduated tax upon all incomes In excess Of an
amount SUFFICIENT 20 maintain n family OF
moderate means should be imposed Such a
tax, IL only applicable to incomes in excess Of
5000, would, doubt not, support.the entire
pension roll and enable millionsires Of the coun-
try to experience the satisfaction Of knowing
that they we're contributing somewhat 10 the
ease and comfort OF the defenders of their for
| half, and towards the government TO which they
| contribute practically nothing"
As we have often said, tax upon IN
comes in excess of $4,000 a year would be
the fairest of all modes of raising revenue
| if such tax could be enforced and made
to bear upon all persons who ought to
pay it.
But ah, mankind are unco' weak,
| And little TO be trusted.
| II self the wavering balance shake,
'Tis rarely right adjusted"
Unfortunately self is responsible for the
false returns of incomes, and these false
returns are numerous and give rise to
much perjury. Every man, or most men,
| have elastic consciences when it comes to
| giving in an income to the assessor.
