Scared the Profane Kansan.

Years ago, as many as forty almost, John
Sherman of Ohio, now senator, went out to
Kansas as a commissioner with others, to
investigate certain lawless proceedings in
that section, says the Detroit Free Press In
the course of the investigation one long
whiskered bepistoled native who was before
the commission began to express imself
with profane forcefulness that was not at
all complimentary to the government or its
representatives, and Mr.. Sherman asked the
official stenographer to take down the re-
marks of the gentleman from Kansas. Mr..
sherman then let the angry citizen go on un-
til he had had his say
Now, look here" said Mr.. Sherman, do
you know you have been making yourself
liable to prosecution by what you have
said?"
The speaker didn't care blankety blank
if he had. ........
"Well, do you know what you have saidP'
inquired MIR. Sherman.
NO, don't, and nobody else does, but I've
said it and stand by it,"
Mr.. Sherman called on the stenographer to
read his notes, and the stenographer did so.
AS the vile language rolled out the Kansan
looked puzzled at first. Then, as 1t came
back to him, and he began to realize that he
had said those things, and the officers had
them down, in black and white against him,
he became frightened.
Let me see that" he asked nervously.
The stenographer handed him the notes.
For minute or more he gazed at the
strange stenographic characters
Snakes, by" he yelled and, dropping
the book, he bolted out of the place.

The Jersey city Cholera Gases,

The discovery of a case of cholera in
Jersey City and also a suspected case,
should not cause any alarm either there or
elsewhere. There were several cases of
cholera in New York about this time last
year. and the disease did not spread.
There have been cases of cholera for
weeks at the cholera hospital on Swim
burne Island, and there has been no I'M
easiness on account of it. 1t is true the
situation is somewhat different when the
disease makes its appearance in a city,
but the health authorities have taken
prompt action in respect to the Jersey City
cases, and it is probable that they will be
as successful in stamping out the disease
as they were in preventing it from
spreading in New York last summer.
And there IS, of course, a chance that
the Jersey City cases have been diagnosed
wrongly. The marine hospital surgeons
appear TO be satisfied that they have made
no mistake, but it is not an easy matter to
distinguish the first case of Asiatic
cholera from severe cases of cholera NOR
bus.
The health authorities will leave no
known means untried to prevent its
spread. There may be little anxiety in
Jersey City, but until there are more
alarming developments there is no reason
why the country should be disturbed by
a cholera scare.

Three Good Strokes.

An eminent New York divine, says Harper's
Magazine, in the course Of an address at a
fraternity dinner recently, told this story.
Said he: 81 met Brooklyn friend of mine a
few days ago, and as he appeared to be feel
ing in an unusually eKuberant frame Of mind,
I asked him why. He replied that he was
happy because he had done three good actions
the day before. He had met a poor woman on
the street. The woman held sickly-looking
child in her arms, and she was weeping. In.
quiry showed that she was weeping because
she was convinced that her child was dying,
and unbaptized.
But said the Brooklyn man, why do you
not have the child baptized? -
Because have no money, and the fee for
baptism is 81 said the woman.
''Whereupon the COED Samaritan handed
the woman a ten-dollar bill, gave her his ad-
dress so that she could bring back the
change-which she did return-and went his
way.
THAT is one good action said the doctor
Now for the other two. .....-.
''Oh, observed the Brooklyn man, they
are all three in that one. First, l relieved
the sorrows of weeping woman; second, 1
assured the child of eternal salvation and
third Here he hesetated.
Yes? said the doctor. WHAT was the
third?
well said the Brooklyn man, the third
was that got rid of that vile counterfeit
ten-dOllar bill had been carrying for more
than year.

Nearing the Normal State.

The action OF the House in voting 10 re-
peal the Sherman silver law and the
belief that the Senate viii vote the same
way within the next two weeks has had
the effect Of relieving the money string
cucy i'm marked degree. The money
market is steadily moving towards a nor
NAL condition, and the premium on both
gold and paper currency has practically
disappeared. Time loans are being made
in New York at 6 per cent, and the
banks are paying out currency more
freely. Borrowers of money are begin
ming to dictate terms Savings banks in.
New York, that a month ago required de-
positors who wished to withdraw their
deposits to give thirty days notice. are
gratifed to find that very few of
them want their money. Conf
dence appears to have returned
to very considerable extent,
and if nothing occurs to again excite dis
trust it viii be possible to get all the
money needed to move the cotton crop
by the time cotton begins to come to mar
ket freely. Another hopeful sign is the
number of suspended banks that are re
Stunning business, showing that many of
those that suspended when it was about
impossible to get currency were at the
time in solvent condition.
There can no longer be a reasonable
doubt that the distrust that caused such
an extraordinary money strinRency was
almost wholly due to the Sherman silver
purchase law. If that law had not been
the cause the action of the House passing
bill repeating that law and the prospect
that a repeal bill will be passed by the
Senate would not have been followed by
improvement in the financial situation.
The silverites now have no longer an
excuse for urging delay on the repeal bill
in the Senate. If they are sincere in
saying that they are anxious to restore
confidence, and consequently prosperity
to the country, there is only one thing
for them to do, and that is to assist in
passing the repeal bill They have now
all the evidence needed to convince any
fair minded man that the Sherman silver
law brought about the panic, and that
the only way to put an end to the panic
is to repeal that law.

Wen Ely Presently.

Within the past week or ten days sew
eral eminent inventors and scientists
have expressed themselves, in "a general
manner, through the medium of newspa-
per interviews upon the subject of aerial
navigation. Chief among those express
ing opinions were Thomas A. Edison and
Alexander Graham Bell, each of whom is
a scientist whose reputation precludes a
suggestion of idle speculation. Both gen
tlemen stand among the leading scientists
and inventors of the world, and neither
talks except when he has something to
say. Therefore, when Mr.. Edison and
Prof. Bell say that the successful nayiga-
ton of the air is a question of only a very
short time, it may be depended upon that
they have reason to know that the prac-
ticable flying machine is about to make
its appearance, in complete fulfilIment of
Mother Shipton's prophecy.
The great problem of the navigation of
the air is no longer wholly in the hands Of
"fakirsH 1t is engaging the attention of
such scientists as Prof. Langley. of the
Smithsonian Institution Washington: Mr..
Maxim, the inventor of the gun that
bears his name, and also of Mr. Edison
and Prof. Bell, besides others of almost
equal reputation. Tesla, the magician of
electricity, has paid some Alteration to
flying machines, though his main efforts
are in other channels
Prof. Bell fixes the time within which
we shall see the flying machine in opera
ton at ten years. Mr.. Edison, also,
thinks that within that time men will
guide ships through the air at will And
each gentleman says that when the sue
cessful apparatus is produced it will be so
simple that the wonder will be the thing
was not thought of before. According to
Prof. Bell, the mistake of most flying ma
chine inventors has been that they SOUGHT
to build, upon the balloon principle, a ma
chine lighter than the air Such a ma
chine he says, could never be properly
steered the successful machine
must have considerable specific
gravity. Again. the machine need
not have wings. Nature is not always a
wise guide; the railway locomotive gets
along very well without legs. Nor win
exceptionally great power be needed to
propel body in high air. sit is absurd. "
says Prof. Bell, Ito suppose that a pigeon
possesses half horsepower. And steam.
not electricity, will probably supply the
air ship with motive power; at least until
the storage battery has been made per
feet

Itisabout certain that this congress

Senator IIil has secured from the judici-
arg committee Of the Senate a favorable
report on his bill 90 repeal them
The judiciary committee OF the House
win soon report "a similar bill. The dem
ocratic congressman have made up their
minds 10 get rid Of those laws. They
serve no good purpose and are a contin-
ual source of annoyance and bad feeling
They aforj an opportunity for such men
as Supervising Inspector Davenport, of
New York, to .harass citizens in national
elections, and they are, besides, the
source of a great deal of expense.
The people have not yet forgotten the
odious force bill, by which the Republi-
can party hoped to control national cleo
lions in the south. As long as the fed
eral election laws are permitted to re-
main in force there is danger Of legisla-
ton like that proposed in the force bill.
There is no reason to doubt that if the
Republican party had secured congress
and the presidency in the last national
election it would have attempted to pass
Il 1OLCt bALL. IuuGCus Jll6 lOItt bALA was
one Of the issues Of the campaign.
The repeal of the federal election laws
will not be effected easily. There may
not be much troubla.in the House in pass
ing such a bill, because the democrats
have in that body large majority, and
also rules that enable them TO reach. a
vote when they are ready to do so. In
the Senate the situation is different. The
democrats have a small majority, and fill
clustering can be carried on to an unlim-
tied extent. Still the democrats can ac-
complish their object and they will &C
complish it if they have to keep congress
an session throughout the whole of next
summer The republicans threaten to
throw all sorts of distractions in the way
of the repeal of the election laws, but
threats of that kind will not deter demo-
Gratis from following the course they
have marked out.

Day before yesterday the government
life-saving stations from Maine to Texas
were reopened with full crews, to re-
main open and manned until April l..
Should the gulf storm that is now whirl-
ing its way up the Atlantic take a turn
shoreward and smash vessels in the
breakers, there would be life-savers to
render aid to the shipwrecked crews.
However, the stations were opened Just a
month too late Had the life-savers been

lze and provide for the keeping of the
stations open throughout the year The
idea that all the bad weather comes be-
tween September / and April has been
