The PRCSSTAN DIET ELECTION.

The Kingdom Of Prussia has in the last few
wears attained 50 vast predomnance in Ger
man affairs that the general election for it's
Diet almost vies in importance with that for
the Reichstag itself William the Second is I'M
mistakably intent on being not only German
Emperor. as his grandfather was crowned in
the Hall of Mirrors, but Emperor of Germany
as well and on making the names of his King
dem and the Empire practically synonymous.
More and more under his aggressive autocracy
pIussian ideas and methods are being imposed
mon the other States, and more and more ac-
cordingly the politics of Prussia determine the
politics of the Empire. So it comes to pass
that the PrusSan electoral campaign is watched
with great intentness by all Germany indeed,
with more intentness by the other States than
by Prussia itself In that Kingdom there is, in
fact lack of interest in the election which
would seem extraordinary were it not for the
character of the laws under which the ballot
ing takes place. These are so grossly inequ-
table that any fair expression of the ration :
will is impossible. People do not, therefore.
have much regard for a contest in which their
nominal rights are largely nulliiied.
The nature Of the Prussian election laws is
sufficiently Indicated by the single fac; that
the present apportionment OF districts is based
On the census of 1858 At that time Berlin
had about 800, 600 inhabitants, emitting il TO
nine members. To-day the city has about
/ 700, 900 inhabitants. and yet only the nine
! members: whereas were just reappotionmeni
made on the basis of the present census. il
would have at feast twentyfve and were
pIoparty and taxation made the basis. it would
have no fewer than sixty three. Similar in
Justice is suffered by other places, which have
in late years grown rapidly in wealth and pop
ulaton The result of this and other features
of the law is seen in the voting lists. Not for
thirty years has large a proportion as one
third of thc qualified electors exercised the
privilege At the last election. in 1888. when
the now expiring House was chosen. only a
little more than onc-fouith voted in Berlin it.
self. and scarcely one-seventh in the Kingdom
at large. This abstention does not proceed 50
much from apathy as from a conviction that
voting would he nothing but farce and it is
concurrent with general and vigorous de-
mand for radical reform of the whole electoral
system. This demand will surely have to be

THE CASE or MRS. halliday

Mrs. Halliday, the perpetrator OF the three
cold -bIoodcd murders in Sullivan County, has
been indicted by the Grand Jury. This result
was certain, unless the jury had come to the
conclusion that the woman was insane and
therefore not subject to indictment. There has
been no adequate ground for this belief, how
ever and accordingly three indictments for
murder in the first degree have been found
against her. When first accused OF the shock
inc crimes laid to her charge, and for some
time after being taken to the county jail, there
was strong ground for the suspicion that Mrs
Halliday was feigning insanity. Her conduct
seemed 10 show that she had given close at
tention to insane people during the time when
she was confined in an asylum a few years
ago, and was deliberately initiating them.
After being put in Jail it was noticed that she
became frantic whenever any one approached
her, but it was found that when alone and
thinking herself unobserved she was perfectly
quiet and sef-restrained When arragned in
court on Thursday she was composed, although
seemingly not intelligent, but her condition
was probably in part brought about by her
recent illness
The crimes of which she is accused are among
the most horrible in the criminal records Of the
State If in her right mind this woman is

fend incarnate. 1t would be charitable to
suppose her insane, and some ground for the
supposition is furnished by the total absence
of motive for the murders. so far as can be
leaned. Such wantonness in crime argues n
depth of depravity that it is hard to conceive
Of If sane, Mrs. Halliday is clearly deserv-
ing of punishment to the full extent OF the
law. That point. however, ought to be deter
mined in decisive way before she is put on
trial. When it is decided, and if her mental
soundness is declared, the sooner her trial is
proceeded with the better. If insane, she
should be placed under restraint so strict that
she will have no further opportunity of in
duging her murderous instincts.

New-York is in no danger of losing us COM
mercal supremacy at present, judging from the
fleet of vessels which sailed from TINS port on
Saturday The procession which passed through
the Narrows during the daylight hours OF the last
DAY of September included twenty-five steamships
one ship, two banks and two schooners, bound Tor
foreign ports, and eight steamers, one bark ana
one schooner for domestic ports. through heli
Gate in the same time there passed two steamers
for foreign ports and nearly forty craft of various
sizes and rigs bound for eastward ports The
biz fleet of foreign steamers will scatter to the
four quarters of the earth, and the only regret
attached to their sailing is the fact that in the
dutterng Kaleidoscope OF flags flying at the sterns
of the big boats the ensign of the United States
was seen only twice-one vessel will carry it TO
Colon. and the other will show it at Havana and
ports in Mexico NETWORKS list OF twenty-iour
foreign bound steamers is fourteen more than were
reported from all the other Atlantic ports com
bined, and in that fact is food for thought for
those jealous of its growing greatness
