AN INSECTS QUEER APPETITE.
It Prefers n Diet of Ocean Cables to
AnyfhiDg Else,


Anything Else.
A curious fact was brought to the atten-
ton Of the visitors assembled at the opening
of the telephone trunk lines on Wednesday,
says the London News. A portion OF the
cablelaid across from p fitzpatrick 10 Donag-
hadee was shown around, and it was pointed
out that the five insulated copper wires
constituting the core of the cable-the real
telegraphic conductor-were incased in a
sheathing of brass which had been wound
around them In the form of q thin metal
tape The object of this was TO protect the
gutta-percha insulation from the attack
of minute marine organism known as the
'gribble." There was time, of course,
when the grbblc knew nothing about
telegraphic insulating materials and In
deed over a large part of the sea bottom
such modern luxuries are quite unknown.
But the era of marine telegraphy seems TO
have created a new taste in these tiny
creatures wherever cables have been laid
down, Just as animals of larger proportions
have acquired the taste for bananas or
potted anchovies. They find their way
in between the sheathing OF strong iron
wire and eat through everything in the way
of insulating material till they got to
tue copper strands, when. OF course, the
water gets in and the conducting power OF
tue cable is at an end.
The curious fact is that the ravages of the
gribble were unknown in tue early days Of
ocean telegraphy aud that this peculiar
taste is not only an acquired one, but seems
to be extending In Just the same way as
the acquired taste of human beings. At
present the fashion of gutta -percha eating
does not go further north than Portpatrick.
But it has long been moving northward
and VIII soon be universal. The brass
proves an effectual barrier SO far, but
whether these little denizens of the deep
nay not by and by find even metal tape
a pIquant addition to their larder remains
to be seen.

NO COMBINING POLITICS AND
RELIGION

The adoption of the proposition now
before the board of Catholic bishops to
organize a political bureau to meet the
encroachments of Protestant associations
would signalize the beginning of disas-
trous reIigio political warfare. Every
time an attempt has been made to combine
the workings of the church and state serious
trouble has followed, and the conservatism
OF the Catholic church in this country in
its dealings with political affairs has been
an element of strength not only to the
church, but also to the general government,
inasmuch as that great, influential religions
body has steadfastly refused to enter into
a contest for the control of legislative
bodies.
1t should be the duty of the public to
eliminate from politics every reference to
religious questions. The mission of politics
istogovern justly, without party or religious
distinctions, and to deal with all classes
with moderation, fairness, and by upright
methods. Religion should have no place
in politics, not even as far-as educational
influences are concerned. 1t has a sepa-
rate and distinct function to perform in
preparing the way for the betterment of
the world, and every devotee who imagines
himself especially commissioned to turn
politics into religious creed, or vice versa,
is bigot from religious standpoint and
politician from worldly point Of view.
Every church has its place in society,
or it would not be in existence, and each
political party its power of doing good.
They are here because the public has
created them, and il church and politics
are kept separate and distinct, their in
fluence, each in its own direction, will
be beneficial. But let them get to clashing,
Protestant against Catholic, both repre-
senting political parties, and not even the
good sense of the American people can pre-
vent serious trouble. This country does not
want any religio political struggles. The
history OF the Old World is too well known
for US to court such warfare.

THREE KINDS OF PROTECTION.


The rapid growth of Washington and
It's spread over greater territory makes
necessary, as soon as practicable, the ex-
tension of the three kinds Of municipal
protection upon which the public largely
depends for its welfare. Our police force
is too small to properly keep lawlessness
and crime within control, as is evidenced
by ythe frequency of burglaries and the report
of the late grand jury. Our fire depart
ment is inadequate to protect property
and keep insurance rates at a minimum,
as can be ascertained by consulting the
District authorities Our water and sewer
systems are lacking both in capacity and
extent to provide for public uses. And
these three methods of protecting the
morals, property, and health of the Dis
trIct should enlist careful attention.
1t is understood that the Commissioners
are now making up the estimates for the
District appropriations of the next Con-
gress. They are fully Informed as to the
necessity of increasing the amounts re-
quired to give us improved fire, police,
and water and sewer systems, but unless
their efforts to secure the funds are
earnestly backed up by public demand,
Congress will put them off with reduced
appropriations and the same old story OF
lack of ability TO do different. In
order to obtain relief, the Citizens Asso-
Citations and people generally should assist
the Commissioners in making the proper
representations to Congress. 1t is their
duty.

German woman who seems to have
left town unknown to her creditors caused
the following advertisement to be inserted;

acquaintances adieu. ] shall be sure, at the
proper time, to recollect the small debts

The Salvation Army is addicted to SEN
sational advertisements. and in an Eng
lish paper it is announced that con
verted burglar" will preach at a certain
hall, where he will break the doors Of
hell with a gospel jimmy"
Quite as funny in different way is the ad-
vertisement in Western paper for "a
laundress who will take her pay in les
sons on the guitar"
In the Philadelphia Chronicle for Feb
ruary 8, 1860, woman advertises as fol-
lows:

most odious light, justice to my own char
acter compels me to deny his accusations,
which proceed from his ownstupidly Jealous

A CALL FOR A MASS MEETING

The success of the monster meeting OF
Cuban sympathizcrs in Chicago Monday
night seems TO have aw skencd a feeling OF
interest in the cause of:the insurgents in
this city Yesterday prominent citizens
were considering the expediency of calling
a mass meeting to express the Sen
tinient of Washington on this important
question, and within few days the call
W i'll probably be made.
A New York paper publishes kilograms
from the governors of nineteen States who
place themselves on record as favoring
Cuban independence, and they no doubt
also express the sentiment of the people
whom they represent. The time has come
when the American public must acknowl-
edge its friendship for Cuba. Humanity.
common interests and national inclination
have made this step necessary, and Washing
ton should be next to Chicago in announc-
ing her determination to do so.
The morning times., 1895-10-02

in opinion on this question in accordance
with their natural inclinations, and each
has his or her favorite.
Those who like the monopoiistic organ
best, the paper that supports capitalistic
schemes to plunder the public, and whose
columns are always open to sale. are gen.
orally inclined toward questionable trans-
actions themselves. People who prefer the
namby-pamby newspaper, which is too old
maidish to be interesting and too prim to
be vigorous usually shrink from contact
with commonplace things, and turn up
their noses in hyprocritical horror at the
suggestion of reform.
Finally, there is the great ma ajority who
admire fearless journalism; who believe
newspapers should be moldcrs of public
sentiment aud redressers of public wrongs,
who think that an honest newspaper is the
peoples pulpit from which dangerous
abuses should be denounced; a friend to
whom all should come who are oppressed.
The prominent dailies of Washington
represent these three classes of newspapers.
Each has its constituency, although the
circulation of neither is restricted to the
several types of people hereinbefore de-
scrlbed. But their most ardent supporters
may be ciassed as follows: Those who
are not overscrupulous in business deal
ings; those who are hypocritically nice and
those who are true men and women because
they possess the natural characteristics
to make them such. Try-to point out, re-
spcctveiy, these three newspapers.
