HELEN ASHLAND KEAN.

The Case 9Th CIairvoyant Doctor Dis
cussed at a Meeting of SpirituaIists.
A Connecticut Associated Press dispatch
to the DEMOCRAT from Southington states:
AT the thirtieth annual meeting of
the Connecticut Spiritualists' association,
held at Lake Compounce yesterday. the
case of Helen Ashland kean, the clairvoy-
ant physician of Waterbury was discussed.
E. C. Bingham of Cheshire was present
and urged that the association test the con-
stituhonality of the law under which Mrs
Kean was convicted. Mrs Kean was
present and stated that though she had
been arrested and declared guilty she had
not been beaten and proposed to take the
matter to the highest courts. She said
she would impeach the testimony of James
Brown of Waterville and Mr. Corbett of
New Haven. She did not ask the associa-
ton for assistance"
Mrs Kean was caller at the DEMccRAT
Office to-day and complained of the treat
ment she received at the hands of the
papers. She also said that she was
Roman Catholic.

EXERTION AND THE HEAT.

Nice-PresIdent Stevenson Taken Suddenly
Ill at GeOrg town University Com
mencemeut.
WASHINGTON. June 21-Vice- President
Stevenson was taken suddenly i'll last
night while attending the commencement
exercises at the College of the Visitation,
Georgetown. He had been detained at
home and was compelled to hurry to reach
the college. Soon after arriving there he
became suddenly ill and was removed to
an ante room. Restoratives were applied
and he soon recovered. A physician said
the sudden attack was due to over exertion
and the intense heat. The vice-president
was to have presented the diplomas, but
owing to his illness that duty was per-
formed by one of the faculty.

KEEL |. |. /

Advises everyone to buy their flour to-day
to feed your families for a year, If you can
afford it. and save money.
The sharp advance in wheat last week led
to heavy buying of flour both In home and
foreign markets,
This reaction was largely caused by the
oversold condition of speculative markets.
Parties who had long been active bears re-
allied the danger of being short" at any
thing like present figures in view of the fact
that weather conditions throughout the
wheat belt have lately been unfavorable.
Other strengthening influences were very
large decreases both In the visible supply"
of wheat in America and the amount of wheat
on passage" to Europe from all over the
world.
The sharp decline In the gold premium In
the Argentine raised the cost of delivering
that wheat in Europe. and caused a quick adj
vance in English and Continental quota
tons.
The government crop report for May indi-
Gates the following results in round num-
berS:
Acreage. winter wheat. IS mil. Yield. WIN
ter wheat. 278 mil
Acreage, spring wheat. 10 mil. Yield. spring
wheat, 1856 MIL Total CROP winter and spring
wheat. 4I3 million bushels.
This is considerably below the average Of
the past ten years.
Regardless of speculative fluctuations In
wheat. flour is very cheap at to-day's prices.

Suicide Of the Chinese Empress.

If the Chinese emperor has any SYM
pathizers in civilized countries they
will not be found among the women.
Our dispatches announce the death
of the young empress of China under
circumstances of peculiar brutality.
1t seems that her royal husband al
lowed his temper to get the best of
him the other day. He scolded the
empress and wound up by slapping
her face.
The empress was proud and sensi-
tive. She felt that she could not en-
dure such disgrace, and after retiring
to her private apartment she commit
ted suicide by taking poison.
The emperor is virtually the mur-
derer of this unfortunate woman. He
degraded her as he would a slave by
striking her and drove her to her
death.
The brutality and folly of this ty-
rant are characteristic of his whole
people. They are only bold and
strong when they are depressing the
weak. When they have to face brave
and intelligent foes like the Japanese
they yield to their natural cowardice
and act like crowd of frightened
children.
China is doomed. From the ruler
down to the lowest strata of society
the most utter decentralization prevails.
The nation is unable to defend itself
against outside enemies, and it is doubt
full whether it can hold together under
one government much longer. Soon
er or later the empire will be divided
aud parceled out amoung other ma
Constitution.

Mr.. Cleveland Pleases Somebody.

On Saturday the Hon. Grover Cleve-
land, feeling, no doubt, that he had
not sufficiently encouraged his party
by showing an absolute want of inter-
est in its fortunes, proceeded to stimu-
late its enthusiasm by ordering a con-
siderable extension of the classified ci-
vii service. A cry of joy went up
from the entire Mugwump squad at
once. The Mugwumps began to revive
their old confidence in the Hermit
Presidents infallibility. They were as
happy in reading the orders as Mr..
Cleveland must have been in making
it. To keep active Democrats out of
Office is the aim of these worthy mates.
This cannot be done in all cases, but
the civil service rules will at least serve
to admit and shelter many Republicans
and Populists, and perhaps an occa-
sional Prohibitionist. 1t is due to Mr..
Cleveland, however, and to his we'll
known affectionate interest in the
Democratic party, to say that common
laborers are still without the pale of
the classified service. A Democratic
commen laborer may even now get
job at the classified Custom Houses
without having to pass an examina-
ton; provided, of course, there is
vacancy, and provided his labor has
not been political.
One of the greatest triumphs won
by civil service reform in its latest ex-

tension is the subsection of messengers.
assistant messengers, and watchmen
in the departments at Washington to
the civil service rules. We presume
that Mr.. Roosevelt will introduce q
special examination for these officials.
Perhaps he will require an essay on
the duties and conversational powers
of angeles and the phyidr in Greek ira
gedy. Trolley and cable cars are SD
common now that feet and legs may
no longer be necessary to messenger.
and literary Waterman can keep an
unlettered dog to watch for him while
he pursues his lucubrations.
.'We reaffirm the declaration of the
Democratic National Convention of
1876 for the reform of the civil SER
vice." sai6 the Democratic National
Convention of 1892; ..and we call for
the honest enforcement of all laws reg
ulating the same" The Civil Service
act was yet seven years in the future
in 1876, and the Democrats of 1892
neither anticipated nor desired any
increase of the classified service. Still,
doubtless Mr.. Cleveland has thought
to forestall their wishes and treat
them to a little surprise. Populists
will be good enough to take notice
that while their direct appointment to
Office by Mr.. Cleveland, deeply as he
sympathizes with their views, might
cause irratation, they are as liable to
get their names on the eligible list as
Democrats are, or even as Republi-
cans. Thus Mr.. Cleveland may have
succeeded in pleasing by his orders of
Saturday the Republicans, the Popa-
lists, and the Mugwumps, greater
number of persons, we venture to say,
than he ever pleased before or ever
will please again again until March 4,

remained Indifferent to all arguments
| and to all suggestions of compromise.
He would have his policy carried out,
or he would have nothing. By means
of patronage and the power Of his of
fee. he compelled enough of his party
to join the Republicans in voting for
the unconditional repeal of the pur.
carry out his purpose. Thus, through
the power aud influence of the mos,
distinguished Democrat in the country
the solemn pledge of the party was
ignored and repudiated and the Repub-
lican policy adopted. To crown all,
Democratic legislation, adopted by
the almost unanimous vote of the party
in Congress was vetoed as promptly as
perhaps more promptly than-if it
had been endorsed by the Republican
party. Not only the interests of the
party, but the interests of the people,
were ruthlessly sacrificed to the greed
of the money lenders, who were pow
erful enough to command their terms.
The people have had an opportunity
to see that the unconditional repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act was measure wholly opposed to
their interests. The law should have
heen repealed, undoubtedly, but the
repeating act ought to have carried
out the solemn pledge of the party to
make both gold and silver the stand
ard money of the country. The peo-
pie can now see what a number of
honest Democratic newspapers and
leaders told them in regard to uncon-
ditional repeal was true-that the on
ly effect of it was to increase the de-
preston in business and further depre-
ciate prices and values.
The Democratic defeat of Tuesday is
due to the protest of the president
against the financial pledge of his
party. If this pledge had been re-
deemed we should now have prosperity
where gloom and depression prevail,
and all business and trade would be on
the level of honest returns for honest
labor. fair prices and fair profits. The
defeat that was sure when the solemn
pledge Of the party was repudiated and
the Republican policy adopted in its
stead, has been made more overwhelm-
ing by the attitude of the president to-
ward his party in New York. He re-
pudiated the most important pledge of
the Democratic platform. and institut-
ed the Republican financial policy, and,
to show his contempt for all preced
ent, deliberately repudiated the De-
mocracy of New York-the party that
made him what he is.
There is lesson for the Democratic
party in Tuesdays result that it will
be compelled to learn if the organiza-
ton is to be held together. 1t will
hav to learn to select as it's instru-
ments men who are known to be Dem
ocrats-men who have demonstrated
their fidelity to the established princi-
pies of the party-men who will not
betray the party after they have milk
ed it of all the honors within its gift.

A Lawyers Reward.

Death by OSCILLATION is the fate which
Lawyer-Poet-Politic Mirabeau L..
Towns narrowly escaped yesterday.
An avalanche of admiring feminin1ty
fell upon him as he was standing on a
street corner in Brooklyn and all but
smothered him in embraces. Wheth-
er it was the power of his poesy. the
magnetism of his personal beauty, or
the pervading politeness with which
he had just conquered jury and got
verdict for his client, or a combina-
tion of all these things, that brought
the storm of caresses upon his defence
less head Mr.. Towns hasn't yet decid
ed. What he is sure of is that a big
policeman stood near by and never
made a move to rescue him. And the
policeman was a friend of his, too.
As near as Mr.. Towns can make out
after the severe shock to his princi-
pies, these are the persons implicated
in the kissing bee:
