Hot for an AnareAt.t eOrernor.

Unless Governor AItgeld, Of Illinois,
has a hide as thick as that Of a rhiuoce-
ros, be certainly has discovered by this
time that his assault on the courts and
the law. in giving his reasons for par
deuiug the three anarchists, meets unit
versal condemnation all over the coun-
try. No nan within the last dozen
years has stirred such a storm VI public
indignation; zone has had SO universal a
verde, Of condemnation recorded against
him by the newspapers Of he United
States. Irrespective Of political atflia-
tons. the leading newspapers of the
country debounce him.
Had he seen ct 10 pardon these three
men because he telt that they had been
sufficiently punished. the act would have
excited but lit lie comment and the gov
ernor would have met but little adverse
criticism. The indications are that the
three men are heartily sick OF anarchis-
tic theories. and propose to become hon
est aud law-abiding citizens; and their
frank expression Of this intention would
have disarmed hostile criticism The
people Of the United States are mindful
of the fact that the purpose Of the law is
not revenge, but the maintenance of
good order and TIE supremacy of gov
eminent. Iftbese men have seen their
error, and are trying to retrieve it, eve
Ivy intelligent man will agree that their
punishment has been sufficient. and will
aequiesce in the wisdom of exercising
executive clemency.
But Altgeld made a deadly attlck
upon the supremacy of the law when he
made fierce assault on the integrity of
Judge and jurors of the trial court, on
the honesty Of the States attorneys, and
on the wisdom Of the higher courts
which refused to reverse the action Of
the lower tribunal, aud endorsed its po-
sition. He declares in effect that he
knows more ihaH all the courts, up to
and including the Supreme Court of the
United States Aside from this, his
abuse Of the machinery Of justice has
started anew the 6res of anarchy a noug
the ignorant masses He has sown dra-
gon's teeth, and only the future can tell
whether the crop will not be as bloody a
one as that of the tabled sowing by

pIroreo Caused BY chrI.tIan science

The recent decision of Nes Hamp-
shire court that persistent adherence to
Christian Science Is an adequate cause
for divorce will arouse widespread inter
est. The case in which the decision
was readered was that Of husband
against his wife The plaintiff proved
that on account Of the changed domestic
relations caused by the Christian Science
practices of the defendant be had suff r
ed in mind, body and estate sufficiently
to justify him in asking a severance Of
marital bonds. The defendant claimed
that she had no intention to injure her
husband, and it was not denied that 10
other respects her conduct had been ex-
emplary. The New Hampshire decision
differs from that rendered by an Iowa
court ID a similar ease only in tie degree

The fruit growers Of Washington
county, says the Ilagerstovn Mail, are
confronted by an embarrassment Of pro-
duc'ion. Generally the peach trees are
carrying a super-abundance of fruit,
which the June drop" did not sutiici Mt
ly relieve, aud the growers. must adopt
the heroic remedy of radical thinning in
order to Insure the maturing of perfect
crop. This is th' only apparent draw
back to prospelou season for the fruit
growers, who are now making extraordi-
nary preparations for harvesting what IS
perhaps the heaviest yield since the cul-
tiva,ion Of fruit has become one of great
industries of the county. Reports as to
crop in Eastern and Southern Maryland
and Delaware a,e conflicting, but the
adyiees Indicate fair crop However
Western Maryland late crop does not en-
ter into competition with tie fruit from
these sections, while the reputation al
ready acquired by the peaches of the
mountain belt is Of such a character that
there need be no fear of comparison with
any fruit grown III the United States -
Every year improves the standing of the

The Cholera.

The re appearance of cholera in Eu-
rope does not cause any alarm among
Treasury officials Reports are daily
received from United States Consuls
and other agents abroad and they concur
that the climatic conditions that have SO
far obtained in Europe are not conducive
to the spread of cholera there. There
have been sporadic cases of cholera and
some delth from it, but the disease has
not spread as did last year and they ex-
press the opinion that it will not reach
this country.
Assistant Secretary Curtis, of the
Treasury Department. who has general
supervision over the Marine Hospital
Service of the Treasury, comedies with
this view of the situation as expressed
by foreign agents, but still maintains,

The Road Supervisors have now been

Of road well prepared is practical work

The County Commissioners therefore,
who have directc control of the corps should
see to it. and put hem doing this special
work. If the road beds thrown up now
