TILE height of the absurd has been
reached in a Connecticut city, where
certain Cinnamon have bOycotted a

one of their teachers, WHO Is the
wife of a police sergeant, of having
given testimony as to the where
abouts Of their smoking dens. The
spectacle of these converted pagans"
interdicting the institution which
converted them, because it inter
feres indirectly with their heathenish
vices, is enough to make Confucius

THE advance OF surgery can furnish
few more singular Illustrations than
is supplied by an operation in one Of
the London hospitals, whereby the
breast of Il blackbird was fastened to
n woman's face as substitute for her
nose, which had been SO damaged that
it had to be removed. The woman,
who had been housemaid in hotel,
had been struck in the face by de-
scending lift, which caused the in
jury that led to the operation. The
operation has proved perfectly sue
cessful, with every appearance Of the
woman being provided with useful
nasal appendage, though how it will
perform its functions when the cure
is complete remains to be seen.

THE whale fishery was at one time
an enormous industry in the United
States. 1t reached it's height in
1854, when 6O2 ships and barks,
twenty-eigh briggs and thirty eight
schooners, with total tonnage Of
2O8, 399, were engaged in it. BY 1876
the fleet had dwindled doMn to 1863
vessels, and it is doubtful if fifty are
now at sea. The introduction of
kerosene and the increasing scarcity
of whales seem to be the causes Of
this decline. Some remarkable voy-
ages were made in the old days. The
Pioneer, of New London, sailed in
June, 1864, for Davis Strait and
Hudson's Bay, returning in Septem-
Der, 1865, with 1891 barrels of oil
and %, $50 pounds of bone, valued at
$3.50, 900. In 1S47, the Envoy, of
New Bedford, was sold to be broken
up, but her purchaser retitted her
and she made voyage worth 1892,
$50. On the other hand vessel
made d five years voyage, and on her
return the captains lay was only s85.
But, as the Nantucket captain, whose
vessel returned from a three years.

marked: "She amt got bari O. lie,
but she's had mighty fine sail"

Are Love Letters from Man Proof of
Insanity?

Are Love Letters from Man Proof of
Insanity?
A suit of more than common inter-
est is now pending in the thriving
town OF Stamford, Conn, wherein
the sons of a certain Thomas FL.
Porter are endeavoring to have him
adiudged insane. This gentleman is
widower, a father a paralytic, and
{: millionaire. Being a Widower, he
misses the companionship Of his wife;
a paralytic, he is confined to his
home; a millionaire, be has the
means to humor lovely woman in all
her trifiing expenses, who, in return,
should give him sympathy in his
hours of distress, and bring him en-
jcyment in his hours Of rest. But
Mr.. Porter wrote love letters.
The amatory epistles of Thomas I'll.
Porter, neatly printed and bound,
would have filled a volume, but the
sons have stolen from literature these
fruits Of their parents labors and
have cast them before Connecticut
Judge. What fate more awful has
ever come to an author2 Now these
letters, generally addressed to very
worthy women devoted to the honor
able calling OF teaching school, are
submitted as evidences OF Insanity.
This form of inflrmity has put to
.rout the best intellects in the world
who have sought to define It. When
definition fails, demonstration is sub

THE anarchists of Europe seem

THE anarchists of Europe seem at
present quite as much in danger from
their bombs as are the monuments
and people against whom their ter
rors are directed. The villain who
tried to destroy the beautiful Church
of the Madeleine in Paris was blown
up by his own bomb, when 1t was
struck by door which swung back
after he had pushed it open. That
door will certainly become famous in
the legends of the church, as time
rolls on. Only the other day Bourdin,
the anarchist, was killed by the bomb
with which he was about to destroy
Greenwich Observatory. The enc
mics of society will not be encour-
aged by these accidents.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

1t is claimed that the Silverites in the
Senate will endeavor TO substitute a free
silver bill for the Bland Seigniorage bill
when that measure comes before the
Senate for action, but THE News
doubts very much the accuracy of any
such report, for while the Senate can
pass any kind Of a silver bill. owing
to the strength of the Siverites
i'm that body, the House would certainly
not agree to such substitution, and thus
the silver people would lose all they
have gained by the fight made by Bland
The silver men will take the half loaf
now aud be sure Of it, and later on will
try for the rest of the loaf.
That the silver men are not discour-
aged it is easy TO see, and the signs of
the times are encouraging for them.
The world is getting TO that point when
some universal agreement in regard to
silver as money metal is imperative,
and if the silver men do not attempt 10
force the procession they will attain
their end much sooner than if they nm
dertake to make the United States carry
burden altogether too heavy for her.
The United States cannot afford
single handed 10 maintain the standard
of silver. 1t must have the
European nations with it. and
with the present conditions in
India and elsewhere it will not be long
before England and the Continental
Powers ask for another international
monetary conference at which silver
will be given its proper place.
But until such international agree
ment is made the attempt TO force the
United States to maintain the parity
between gold aud silver against the
world means disaster aud distress TO our
people.
A free silver bill today would be the
height Of financial imbecility. and all be.
levers IN honest money will bend every
energy TO prevent any such measure
from passing Congress.

deposed monarch. but no one but
henchmen can any longer profess
regard for woman whose fate
savors so little of tho heroic. The
Queen went out Of Office drunk as lord,
not matter of surprise in itself, but a
fact worthy Of notice. by virtue of its
corroborative importance.
There can be no fair-minded DISPOSE
tion to laud or commiserate the exit of
a ruler under such circumstances. There
is nothing heroic in going to doom with
head full Of liquor fumes.
No parting speeches of the Woolsey
order can be made by a
tongue that is thick from too much ia.
miliarity with the wine cup. There is
no ocommiseration for a adrunken nnfortu-
nate. The Queen went down, not ina
blaze of glory, butin a befuddling atmCs-
phere of vaporizing liquor. There is moth
ing heroic, nothing that appeals to the
chiyalrous heart in such demise. We
have already heard too much of

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING .

The dedication of the manual training
school in this city yesterday marks the
introduction into our school system OF a
feature that has long been demanded.
and without which our public school
system is incomplete. BY this system
the hand and the eye and the construc-
tive faculties of the child re-
ceive training that has hitherto
been devoted solely to the
intellect. Industrial education is neces-
sary, and while the manual training
school is a step in the right direction, it
is but the first step to be taken, and
others must be taken in order that the
best results may be obtained. The boys
aud girls who are compelled to
leave school at an early
age and enter industrial life are
at a disadvantage as compared with
those who are fitting for professional life.
We take care of the latter by providing
for their higher education, but we dis
miss the former with but the rudiments
of an education, and turn them adrift
with no knowledge of industrial condi-
tions or requirements. 1t is as mnch a
public duty to provide instruction in
the industrial pursuits as it is to provide
instruction for the so-called higher
walks in life-the professions.

Trying to Turn the Blow.
Boston Herald.


Some OF our Democratic contemporaries are
trying To make light of the injury inflicted
upon their party by the passage of the Bland
segniorage bill In the House. For political
reasons il is natural that they should do what
they can 20 diminish the effect of the blow.
But their measurement of public sentiment
on the matter differs very widely from ours
if they are sincere in the opinion which they
express.
rhe reckless folly shown by the majority of
the Democratic Representatives in voting TO
reopen the mints OF the United States for the
coinage of dishonest and degraded silver
dollars would. of itsef. be quite sufficient 10 do
grievous damage 20 the party with the busi
ness voters Of the country. But when TO this
ofrense is added the revival for the first time
since the war NJ the ruinous policy of meet
ing the expenditures OF the government by
the issue of fiat money, the attempt IS certain
10 arouse the disgust and distrust Of voters in
the sound money section OF the country
