AN UNroKrUNATE WOMAN.

A woman bearing evidence of dis
tress, from Hagerstown, came to this
city yesterday in search of recreant
husband whose whereabouts are at
present unknown. She was accom-
panied by her sister and the tale she
told would melt heart of adamant.
The wife had left six small children at
home in destitute circumstances and
now they are objects Of public charity.
The husbands name is g. Cadora and
until four weeks ago was employed in
the enameling department of the Bicy-
Gle Factory of this city. Recently he
secured employment in Brunswick
from which he was summoned yester-
day by telegraphic message that
stated his brother Frank was in this city.
However he didnot come when expect
ed, not arriving until last evening and
in going to the appointed place to
meet his brother he observed his wife
and her sister on the street and sur
missing her mission, he left for parts
unknown. The unfortunate wife and
sister took the early train to Hagers-
town this morning.

LESS PERvERsIoN WANTED.

Mr.. Bryan, of Nebraska, made great
hit in the House Wednesday by the force
of his oratorical abilities, and an unusual
capacity to show even an appearance of
logic in long continued speech against
the tariff. The value of the gentleman s
logic may be we'll gagged by an examina-
ton of the best of the illustrations which
formed feature of his speech. He said
the protection theory reminded him of his
days on. the farm, when they used to raise
sunken corners of fences by putting a
beam under the corner, placing a chuck in
the middle and then bearing down on the
other end. 1t raised the fence, but the
burden was felt somewhere. The Pro-
tectionist, he said, took hold of an infant
industry, then looked around for good
fat lot of consumers to serve as chuck.
'Up went the infant industry, but down
went the consumers" said MI. Bryan, and
his colleagues applauded.
If this illustration were given in good
faith, Mr.. Bryan's lack of perspicuity is to
blame for the perver5ion of a good meta
phor. Anyone with vision which ena-
bles him to see things as they arewill
realize that only one alteration in the
simile is necessary to make it truthful.
But the alteration is an important one,
and simply consists in substitution of
foreign manufacturers for the consumers
which Mr.. Bryan described as the chuck
for the Protectionist lever.
Our industries are raised by the lever of
protection in the firm grip of statesman
ship and by the power of public opinion
working on the fulcrum of foreign manu-
facturers The result is that our indus
tries are placed out of danger and within
the reach of our people, while foreign
competition is simultaneously crushed out
of existence. A little more truthfulness
would abolish most of the free traders
specious arguments, and save him the
trouble of a useless endeavor to hoodwink
the people as to the direction in which
their interests lie

Whatever the outcome of the struggle of
the Irish people for independent existence
as a nation, there is fine sentiment in
their devotion always to the memories of
their native land. This attachment may
be all the more admired from the fact that
it in no wise impairs the enthusiasm and
practical allegiance of the Irish immigrant
for the country of his adoption. The spirit
which responds to tender recollections of
whatever is best in the old country is sure
to develop similar fidelity to the new.

YALE'S QUEER PROFESSOR.

PROF. TorrEN, of Yale has published three
more books with cloth-yard titles, and will
soon have enough evidence to land him in
one of the excellent institutions for the care
of the insane for which Connecticut Isl Justly
celebrated.-Detroit tribune.
PROF. c. A. ToTrEN, Of Yale College, an Of
ficer of the United States army with the
rank of Lieutenant, appears to be proper
subject for investigation by lunacy court.
"Much learning hath made him mad,
evidently-Saran1,dhN Ne,os.
WHEN Lieutenant Totten undertakes to
teach physical science to undergraduates.
and informs them that an aurora display is
q sign in the heavens to warn men of the
impending "wrecks of matter and the crash
of worlds" science, if we may employ the
word kicks.-Ne,o York World.
THESE are feverish days under the old elms
in New Haven. Stimulated by the recent
conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, Lieuten-
ant Totten, the "one Watcher in Israer' who
is awake and at the post of duty" re-
doubles his exertions to. warn his fellow
men of their impending doom.-Ne,0 York
Times.
WHEN Prof Totten, OF Yale, spikes a
prophecy of the millennium to telegraph
pole in New Haven some may challenge his
right to be called sane, but as he is only pro-
fessor of military tactics or something Of
that kind he may fairly claim that he is sane
enough to teach the young idea how to
shoot.-St. Louis Republic.
On the scientific side Yale College owes O
certain allegiance to physical fact and sound
common sense. 1t ought, in loyalty to its
Sheffield pretensions, to transfer Lieutenant
Totten to some chair in which a superheated
Imagination may exercise itself without
breaking its shins over Stumbling blocks Of
observed physical facs-Pht'adesphta Bu;-

A TWO-EDGED SWORD

The QuiNOtic raid on the newSdealers bv
the few people of the Law and Order So
cietN and their agents-whicE is as prac-
teal and as likely of success as the Knight
of La Mancha's tilt with the windmill
has now gotten the length OF the indict-
ment of the Society's Agent for perjury
This is sort of reverse progression The
true bill yesterday returned by the Grand
Jury will develop during its trial whether
the newsdealers have any rights at all
which the L. and O. agent and the L. and
O. Alderman are bound to respect; or
whether it is the thing to swear them
guilty and fine them anyhow no matter
whether they sell or not
There has been delightful summari-
ness about many of these l.. and o. pro-
ceedings so far The newsdealers have
not been hurt-as up to date they have not
been obliged to pay penny of fine or
costs; both the Sunday and Monday
editions of the newspapers issue, of
course, as usual only with larger circula-
ton than ever; and the L. and o. people
have had congenial pas5ime in watching
the wheels of Alderman Robes Justice
mill spin round and round as new victims
were hauled up.
That has been fine fun-but it looks as
If 1t is about to be discovered that the Law
IS dangerous plaything-a two-edged
sword-and it remains TO be seen whether
those who invoked it have not already got

ONE THING Or THE OTHER.

Laws laXlv administered are worse than
useless. The statutes should either be
rigidly executed or repealed. The preser-
vation of capital punishment as deter
rent measure, side by side with system
which makes it a mere harmless scare
crow, is not calculated to add to the dig
nifty of constituted authority, but rather
to Ering it into general contempt.
1t is doubtful whether murderers weigh
the possible results of crime before CON-
mitting it, and it is impossible to say just
how far the number of murders is related
to the frequency of pardons and the rarity
of death penalties. But the sentences of
the courts should be carried to logical
conclusion.
We are to have another trial for murder,
the outcome Of brutal tragedy last even
ing. The probability is that it will result
in conviction, and it is certain that a
conviction should be followed by an eXecu-
ton. We believe that capital punishment
is. necessity, but its legal abolition would
be better than its retention in theory and
its evasion in practice.
