THERE'S much ugly feeling over the re- cent election in Alabama. The returns elect Oates democratic candidate for gov ernor by some 42,OOO, but the populists claim that their candidate, Kolb, was really elected. A statement sent out, signed by well-known citizens, declares, among other things:
 "That in Lowndes county, with forged registration list of twenty-five hundred and with an actual poll of less than fif- teen hundred, they have returned false majority for Oates of over forty-six hun- dred based on perjured election returns. If the United States will appoint the com- mittee asked for by Senator Chandlers resolution we will not only verify the above charges but will furnish conclusive evidence of Captain Kolb's election.

Imported goods now in bonded ware houses and placed on the free list by the new tariff bill are to be assessed at the rates prescribed by the Mckinley law, while goods in bonded warehouses on which the duty is lowered by the senate bill, but which are not placed on the free list, are to have the lower rates. This seemingly inconsistent construction of the tariff bill has been made at the treasury department as the result of conferences between Secretary Carlisle and Attorney General Olney. The bill provides that goods imported under the Mckinley act, and placed in bonded warehouses, may be withdrawn for consumption at the lower rates of the senate measure. The benefit thus conferred was undoubtedly intended to apply to the free list, but, unfortunate ly for the importers, direct provision of that character is not in the bill. The in- tent of congress in the matter is so plain that it is believed the courts would con- strue the benefits of the tariff law to ap- ply to the importer, and the importers will naturally sue the government for refund of duty. Importers, however, may avoid embarrassing complications by. withdrawing their goods without payment of duty, exporting them to some nearby foreign port, and then re-import them un- der the free list after the new law becomes operative.
 
 Prof. MacFarlane of the University of Texas has been taking his turn in expos ing the rain-making fraud. He points out that the much plan of cooling the atmosphere by sending up liquid car bonic acid and allowing 1t to expand, while practicable in theory, would require 408, 900 pounds of the acid, representing a cost of over $40O,0 for the production of O27 inch of rain over single square mile. It would be cheaper to emigrate.
 Governor Altgeld of Illinois has received letter from committee of Pullman cit- izens asking assistance to feed ,600 fam lilies, alleged to be unable to get work there. The Pullman Company is report ed to be importing men from all over the country to take the places of former en- ployes out on strike, and these latter have no means of support. The governor has gone to Pullman to investigate. The war in the east has sent up the price of opium from six to eight dollars a can, and it is said to be scarce at that fig ure. It look, in short, as though opium would soon cease to be a drug in the market. The war cloud will have a sil- yer lining if it be the means of curing a few thousand opium fiends.

Myrtle Goodell, a seventeen year. girl living at Dwight's station, Belcher- town, Mass, saved two children from burning Sunday evening and saved her self, as her clothing caught fire and was ex- tinguished with difficulty. The fire caught by an overturned lamp, and the flames feeding in oil were hard to put out. When the neighbors arrived, however, the brave girl had the fire under control and her lit tie sister and brother had been removed to place of safety. The entire loss will be inside of $100.

THE newspapers of the state will not take kindly to proposed publication in the interests of protection, designed to educate the people, but more especially the editors, up to a standard on that sub- iect. Many of the editors are perhaps as we'll informed already as are the proposed conductors of the new paper. If the re- publican state committee want to educate the people there are good papers in Hart ford and other cities to send among them, edited by abler men than the state con- mittee can employ in their work. And, besides, people are inclined to attach more weight to arguments from persons known to believe most thoroughly in what they advocate than to those from paid attorneys.

THE new tariff bill is discovered to be full of antiquities, caused by faulty punc- tuation. And it appears that this was known, but that the house did not dare return the bill to the senate for correc- tion of these obvious errors. A member of the house in speaking of the mistakes discovered, says: "The house adopted the senate bill entire. To have amended even the semicolon after the word dia- monds would have necessitated the return of the bill to the senate, which was pre- cisely what the house managers did not desire. Had an effort been made to amend the senate bill and other errors of punctuation, it is more than probable that the bill would have by this time received totally different fate than that which it met.

Hartford Courant: Debs disapproves of General Miles conduct during the re- cent disturbance at Chicago. Debs thinks violence an undesirable feature in strike, has always been of that opinion, and ii anybody has doubt on the subject his letters and the reports of his speeches are there to prove it. Debs is convinced that the late A. R. U. strike-which he did not order-would have been great success but for the interference of the federal courts. He told the investigating com missioners so yesterday.

BURIAL OF THE LIVING.
How Incurables Are Disposed of by
the Celestial.


AS far as the Western intelligence can
judge from certain recorded customs. pub
lie opinion in the Celestial Empire is less
disturbed than that of most other States
by the sentiment OF humanity. Let us
take in illustration but one instance which
has lately given occasion for comment in
the daily press-namely, that of the live
burial of persons described as either in
curaby diseased or iDcnrrigibly ilI-con-
Quoted. Itwould be difficult to find among
the errors of mankind a parallel in this
proceeding. The reader is uncertain
whether to treat it as serious fact or to
repudiate it forthwith as the mere creation
of some travellers fancy. Unfortunately
we are unable, in the face Of positive as
sertons TO the contrary by apparently re-
liable persons to dispute Its reality. Ac-
cording to published accounts of this per-
Torrance the victim is theoretically, at
all events, a conserving party. and the
transaction is carried out with album
dant ceremony and in accordance with
established usage. If this is true,
we must look upon the occurrence as
nothing less than a national crime. or, in
deed, as a double crime. in which murder
is blended with suicide, and both are for.
the time sanctioned. and therefore per-
petrated, by what passes Tor law. The

the sick, from the mere Impotence of their

evidence in dsproof OF this monstrous
cruelty may yet be forthcoming. 1t should
be remem bered, however, that a similar
practice is said to have been included at
one time among the usages of q Christian
church. and that this assertion has lately
been revived and commented on by we'll
known writer. We need scarcely be sur
