The cable states that in consequence
of the dynamite incident in Dublin Sir
William Vernon Harcourt has urged his
colleagues in the cabinet to assent to
the revival of that clause in the CO.
ercion act which provides for secret in
quiries into what is going on among
Irshmen. Mr. Morley protested against
the renewal of that or any other part of
the coercion act, and intimated that he
would resign the Irish secretaryship
rather than give his assent to anything
of this sort. Mr. Gladstone decided for
Mr. Morley against Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, as he has been in the habit of
doing on nearly all occasions on which
these leaders differ. The reports of ex-
traordinary precautions at the govern
ment ffioces and parliament buildings
against dynamiters have been grossly
exaggerated.

EDWARD G. KILDUFF has laid. down
the burdens of city clerk, after.fourteen
years of continuous service, and, for
the present at least, will devote his
energies to business far removed from
politics. Mr. Kilduff has been faithful
public servant, and carries into private
life the respect and good will of all his
fellow citizens. irrespective of party.
He has made an excellent city clerk;
perhaps no better tribute to his ability
and popularity could be paid than the
mention of his election for SO many
successive terms to the office. The
popularity which enabled Mr. Kilduff to
achieve such success was the result of
his systematic methods inI the conduct
of affairs, his courteous intercourse with
those having business with the office,
and his general urbanity with citizens
of all ranks of life.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Pilot has
been visiting the birthplace and boy
hood home of John Boyle OReilly in
Ireland, and there are still the old
quarters where he worked as an appren-
tice in a newspaper office for two
shillings a week, and the old thirteenth
century castle in which he was born
aud where his father taught school.
The most interesting spot of all is the
old churchyard with its yew trees and
clinging ivy. Here on stone in the
south wall are the initials ~. B. Or, -
which were carved out there thirty
years ago by O'ReilIy himself, and it is
noted that some hand carefully clips
the ivy and keeps it from overgrowing
the stone upon which the letters are
cut. There are those who remember
having heard O'Reilly say: 81 should
like to be buried just under that spot;
and, please God, perhaps I may be-"

WHILE delving for fossils in the Bad
Lands of Nebraska few days ago a
geologist unearthed a petrifed human
body. The petrification was discovered
deeply imbcdded, but was taken out en-
tire and almost perfect. Accounts say
that the find has the features of negro,
and every lineament is perfect. Two
fingers, however, are partly gone. 1t
was lying on its side when found, with
portion of one knee projecting from
the earth. The deliver after antiquities
struck a heavy blow with his AK into
the earth, and encountered the leg
about two inches below the knee, slight
ly damaging it. 1t was packed in solid
clay, almost as hard as stone, necessi-
tating the use of picks in it's removal.
1t had every indication of having been
in it's position for centuries. The
curiosity will shortly be removed to
Chicago, where it will form one of the
features of the worlds fair.

A MIss1ssIPPIAN of high social stand
ing has Just been convicted Of murder
and sentenced to Imprisonment for life.
The case is a unique one, but lest it may
be interpreted asia sign of advancing
civilization, it should be said that the
victim was also a man of high social
standing, judge and ex-congressman.
1t is to DE hoped that the day will some

punished in the south if they take the
life of a poor white or. inauenceless

SOME of the Chicago papers are raising
a row because the United States build
ing and the Transportation building of
the worlds fair are painted red with
pea-green trimmings. They have got
into the way of using Fl. c. Burners
phrase for the worlds fair, the "White
city," and this spoils the phrase. "Chi-
cago," says the Evening Journal, "has
already suffered enough from the choice
of some chromatic crank who saddled it
with a liver and lard municipal color,
falsely denominated terra Gotta. The
worlds fair managers should see that
the harmonious beauty Of their white
city" is not COMPOUNDED by nightmare
in liver and green's"

CAN a lawyer conscientiously defend
an accused person whom he knows to
be guilty is one of the questions which
the first lawyer of the earliest ages may
have asked, but it is still debated. Pro-
fessor George D. Watrous, of the Yale
law school, has in the current number
Of the Yale Law Journal, an article in
which he takes the affirmative Of the
time-honored question. No one can
doubt the high moral standard of the
writer, and his conclusions are, there
fore, more weighty. He seeks to show
in the first place that a lawyer can sell
dom "know" that his client is guilty.
This part of his article is, as he con-
fesses, not free from casuistry, but
when he asserts that even if the counsel
has such knowledge, he has right to
see that his client has all the protection
which the law allows, he is bold and
earnest. He, of course, reprobates any
such acts as fabricative testimony or
spiriting away witnesses, and makes a
strong attack on the too frequent prac-
tice among criminal lawyers of assert
ing their personal belief in their clients
innocence as a method of persuading a
jury. 1t is, however, the writer holds,
no duty of lawyer to withhold from
any prisoner the presentation of his
case, so that if any reasonable doubt
arise from the evidence, he may be &C.
quilted. There is not much doubt as to
the practice among lawyers of defend
ing the guilty as freely as the innocent,
but it is not always that they can give
such good reasons for doing so as Pro-
fessor Watrous does.

RUSSELL INAUGURATED
Massachusetts, Governor T axes
the Oath of Office.
HIS ADDRESS TO THE LEGISLATORS

Urges Them to Amend the Ballot Law
Administration of the State Prison Sys-
tenn Declared Weak and Inefficient
The Matter of Trade Relations With
Canada.
BOSTON, Jan. 6.-The Representatives
Chamber was packed at the exercises at
tending the Inauguration of Gov. Russell,
and the galleries were crowded.
The Governors wife sat in the center of
the chamber with Eustis, her little son,
by her side.
The Governor-elect and Lieut.. Gov
ernor-elect Roger Wolcott entered the
chamber at noon, preceded by the JUS
tees of the Supreme and Superior Courts
of the Commonwealth.
Then followed the Governors militar y
staff, the retiring and incoming Executive
Councillors, heads of departments and ex-
members of the Senate and House.
The oath was administered to the Gov
ernor-elect and then to the Lieutenant
Governor-elect. Gov. Russell then read
his inaugural address.
He urged upon the Legislature to
amend the Ballot law, in order to give
recognition to minority parties and to for
bid a recount of ballots, and asked for
the abolition of an elected Council and
the concentration of more power in the
Governor and less among the State COM
missions.
The administration OF the State prison
system, he said, is weak, irresponsible,
and ineffective.
On the Legislatures assumption of
Boston's mumciple function, by placing
the police force of Boston in the hands Of
State commissioners he said:
1.-The principal of home rule, which as
serts that the highest efficiency, great So
| cial happiness, and political contentment
| are obtained by local control of home af-
fairs need not and does not conflict with
| the establishment by the State of gen.
| eral policy in any field Of public work,
| nor with the creation Of such machinery
/ of local government as she deems expedi-
| ent.
lit does require that the working of
| that machinery shall be the local author
/ ity and be under the check and control of
the local constituency"
Regarding rapid transit in Boston,
he said, after speaking in favor Of it.:
| Concert of action, under existing condi-
| tions, can spring only from the State, but
| it should be sustained and enforced by the
1 willing cooperation of all the community
interested"
| He favored the mobilization of the Ma
| tional Guard of the country at the Column
bian Exhibition, and suggested the aboli-
tion of the State Fast Day owing to it's
| lack of reverent observance
On trade relations with Canada, he
said:
"a broad measure of reciprocity with
Canada would make Massachusetts,, and
especially Boston, the industrial and COM
mercial center of a greatly enlarged terri
tory, add to our prosperity and wealth
and to the welfare of our people. believe
it would be both proper and wise to ex-
press to Congress by resolution this opin-
ion of Massachusetts upon it,
After the reading, both houses, how
ever, adjourned, to meet next Monday.

The Liberty of Money Making.

The radical socialist doctrines are
consistently against all private accumu-
Iations of money, great OF small. They
would require, according to the New
York Sun, every generation to take
care of itself. They are opposed to
savings banks. They would produce
uniformity of estates by making all
men poor. Is there any other way Of
stopping the accumulation of wealth by
individuals? If any men are to be in
terdicted from getting rich, must not
the prohibition extend to all men? If a
man is not to be permitted to have a
fortune of s72, 900, 900 why should he be
allowed to have $1,000, 600, $500, 900, or
even S5,0O02 How can he be allowed to
accumulate any money il he is not
allowed to accumulate as much as he
can get together under the law? When,
therefore, people talk about the neces-
sity of stopping great accumulation as
measure of public protection, really
they are arguing for principle and a
precedent which would be fatal to the
virtues of thrift and prudence; for you
cannot prevent a man from saving up
as much as he can unless you prohibit
the saving of money altogether, after
the extreme socialistic plan. You can
not check liberty of money making
without destroying it utterly.

DIDN'T GUT THE UMBRIA LOOSE.
The Bohemia Lost the Disabled CUnarder
in Storm.

in Storm.
HAMBURG, Jan. 6.-Upon the arrival
here of the Hamburg American line
steamer Bohemia, interviews were had
with several persons aboard of her in re-
gard to her attempt to tow the disabled
Cunard liner Umbria, and to the report
that the towing hawser had been cut on
board the Bohemia.
Everybody on board the steamer en-
phatically denied that the hawser had
been cut.
They say that the weather was fairly
calm when the steel hawser and several
other lines from the Bohemia were made
fast ON board the Bohemia.
The Bohemia then forged ahead with
the Cunard liner in tow, but in the even
ing a violent storm set in. Both the
vessels pitched heavily, and the strain
upon the lines was tremendous.
At 10 o'clock at night it was showing
heavily, and at that hour the starboard
line and port hawser parted.
The breaks were not close inboard, but
at a considerable distance from the b.
hemia.
When the lines parted the Bohemia
stopped and signaled repeatedly to the
disabled Cunard steamer, but no answer
was received.
When daylight broke the sea was
closely scanned for the Umbria, but NO
sign of her could be seen.

Stories from Working Prison.
LONDON, Jan. 6. The Baroness de
Roques writes from Paris to the Central
News:
81 am Mortified to find gross libel in
the ST. James's Gazette on Mrs. Maybrick.

authority, this infamous charge against a
defenceless woman, who is powerless to
speak, or even to know what is said
against her.

"Every word is false. The libel in the
St. James's Gazette attacks also my in
tegrity. Our honor is concerned, and l
trust that everyone will sustain me.

pendent and first-class physician be in

1t would be an estimable boon to hui
manity if doctors could agree in their
advice as to diet. At present the aver
age man is in a state of pure bewilder-
nent. Only lately an eminent ply
stefan has said that all our ailments
arise from overeating and oversleep-
ing and that the golden rule of health
is to be sparing of both. Sir James
Sawyer now comes forward with al
most exactly the opposite advice. In
speaking of King George Ills oft
quoted maxim, six hours for a man,
seven for woman, eight for a fool, "
he considers that the poor old king
whose brain, by the way, certainly
needed more rest than it secured-had
begun at the wrong end" From his
own experience at his own calling Sir
James Sawyer is decidedly of opinion
that medical men require eight hours
sleep if they can get it; and, failing in
that, they should hold on by 1.-THE
grand rule" ''go to bed when you can
and get up when you must" The bed
room should be we'll ventilated, and
the might cap" in the liquid form
should be discarded, as alcohol pre-.
vents healthy sleep. 1t may produce a
drowsy, Supplying effect, but not re.
frcshing slumber. Most people who
have slept with and without the aid Of
night caps will probably be inclined tc
agree with the distinguished physician
His advice as to eating is somewhat
optimistic: eff man would only cal
naturally, and at the proper time, and
not eat too much, he might eat any
ching he liked"

A PECULIAR CALLING.
Men Who Seach the London Sewers fol
Stray Wealth.

M0n VINO Seacn Une Se"cEb AOA
Stray Wealth.
There are men in London who make
q business of searching the sewers for
valuables. They travel in gangs, and
each man has light attached to his
right shoulder, so that when he stoops
the rays are thrown at his feet; when
erect the light shines before him.
Every man has a long-handled hoe, with
which he searches the filth.
They walk slowly along through the
mud, feeling with their naked feet for
anything unusual; at the same time
raking the accumulation from the
walls, and picking from the crevices
any article they see. Nothing is al
lowed to escape them, provided it is not
valueless. Old iron, pieces of rope,
bones current coins of the realm, and
articles of plate and iewelry-au is
good fish which comes to their net.
With finds" in the way of coins Of
course the humble penny Predominates.
Sixpences and shillings, however, often
increase the value of the collections;
and at rare intervals-too rare to please
the 'husher"-half sovereigns, and
even sovereigns are discovered. Like
the flies in amber, the mystery is how
they got there. Among other articles
of intrinsic worth, silver spoons are
most often found, although shirt-studs,
diamong rings, silver drinking vessels,
and many other quite-out-of-place
articles swell the list from time to time.
Lucky finds such as these above-men-
toned do not deter the "husher" from
keeping sharp lookout for less valua-
able articles as they float by. His eagle
eye, from long practice, is capable of
Judging the worth of the floating refuse
before it would be even discernible to
the ordinary observer.
Mile after mile does the sewer hunter
traverse underground, until q tolerably
heavy bag is the result of his labor.
Night or day is all one to the ''husher."
Some gangs enter the sewers at night
and work on until morning, while
others carry out the search only during
the daytime. Rats abound every
where, some of them being enormous
in size, large enough to brighten any
beginner at the game. The ex-
perienced worker, however. takes no
notice of them; and the rats are only
too pleased to sneak away in the dark
ness.
When a gang has done fair day or
nights work and leaves the sewer, the
| first business is to sort and divide the
| spoils. The salable goods, such as
bones, rope, rags, etc, are disposed OF
| to the junk dealer; and any articles Of
silver plate or jewelry are pledged.
| The proceeds are then added to any
| money found during the work, and the
whole is equally divided among the
| gang. The average earnings, taking
the year through, are about seven
shillings per day each man, this sum
being greatly exceeded if a man hap
pens to join 'Iucly gang" This
peculiar line of business has not sui
fered from over-competition.
They are called "hushers" because
they never discuss business affairs be
fore strangers, and utter warning
"hush" when those not in their line
are approaching. Y. Weekly.
