The New York Republicans will present
q candidate for the presidency of the
National League of Republican Clubs
in the person of Gen. E. A. McAlpin,
who is at present adjutant general of the
state of New York. He was born in New
York City, but at present resides III
the town of Sing Sing. He is actively
engaged in business, being the manager
Of one of the largest tobacco establish
ments in the country. He was too young
to enlist as soldier in the war of the
rebellion but be twice enlisted as a
drummer boy and was only prevented
from going to the front by parental au-
thority. He has military tastes and has
always been proininen. IN the New York
militia. lie was nominated in 1884 for
Congressman by the Republicans of the
fourteenth district, and his popularity
was such that though the district ID very
strongly Democratic he was defeated by
only 1900 votes, running 1000 ahead of
his ticket. The Republicans of New
York are supporting him with great en-
thusiasm for the presidency of the league
of Republican clubs, and he would seem
to be a thoroughly acceptable candidate
for all eastern Repu blicans.

guardianship of the Central and South
American republics; much less does it
imply that the United States will pro-
tect them against the demands for repa-
ration of European nations whose citi-
zens they may have insulted Ur injured.
The Monroe doctrine means simply that
the Uuited States will not tolerate any
attempt of European powers to dictate
the form of government of any state
in the south of us, or to control direct
ly or indirectly the political destiny of
those states. England is understood
to have informed our government that
her occupation of Corrinto was to be
but temporary and simply for the pur-
pose of collecting reparation demanded
for injuries to her subjects. There was
no test of the Monroe doctrine involved

INCOME TAX WIPED OUT.

The Supreme Court by vote of five to
four wiped out yesterday what was left
OF the income tax law by the first decis-
ion. Judge jackson voted to sustain the
constitutionality of the law but Judge
Shiras who had voted before in favor of
the constitutonality of the tax except
upon income derived from rents aud
public bonds changed his vote. This de-
cision not only wipes out this particular
law but it p1ecludes the possibility of the
levying of any tax on incomes for many
years to come, for no law can be framed
that will avoid the objections of the
court which are fundamental. Doubtless
the satisfaction will be general that the
law in the emasculated shape
in which it was left by the
first decision is not to stand,
for the exemptions reached the classes
that were best able to pay the tax, and
against whom it was particularly aimed
by Congress, and what was left of it
simply operated as a burden upon the
labor and industry of the country. But
the effect of the decision in precluding
the possibility of Congress levying
any tax on incomes at all
may not be so satisfactory. The
discussion Of the question disclosed
the fact that such tax was popular in
certain sections of the country, especial
ly the West and South. and among the
large class of people who were not effect
ed by it. 1t WIS designed to get at the
rich man. and that itself commended
it to great number of people. It's ex-
termination is therefore going to excite
considerable dissatisfaction, and we are
going to hear from the Populists
in the near future good deal
about TIE courts being on the side
OF accumulated capital 1t is fortunate
however, that the court has not divided
along party lines, SO that there can be
no ground for claiming that party poll
tics have had anything to do with the
| matter.
The effect of the decision upon the
/ treasury is going to be bad OF course.
Some SIS, 100000 were expected from the
| tax, but this sum will not be forthcoming,
and the deficiency which is impending
will be augmented by just that amount
There is possibility that the decision
may cause an extra session of Congress.
though it has been said of late that
rather than resort to that the treasury
would, if need be, issue more bonds.

Nervous Diseases.

(F1om the London Humanitarian.
investigated this subject some time
ago by analyzing the annual reports of
the Register General for the period of
thirty years. The frequency with which
they occur, the place they occupy in the
general mortality Of the nation, the age
at which they are most murderous, and
the peculiar influence of sex upon their
development were then shown to follow
certain definite and simple laws, into the
working Of which chance does not enter.
There is no question that certain func-
tional neuroses, more especially of brain
power, hysteria, hypochrondriasis, and
similar affections have been for some
time past on the increase owing to the
fact that the struggle of life is keener,
the competition more intense, the work
heavier and the anxiety more absorbing
than used to be the case in previous
periods of the history of mankind, more
especially in the large centers of popu-
latioD. The nervous system is therefore
more liable to break down BIZ exhaustion
than WIS the case in former times. This,
however, does not apply to the really or
game or structural diseases OF the brain
and spinal cord, such as tumor, soften
ing. inflammation, etc., nor to epilepsy
and insanity, which coDtinne to occur in
about the same ratio now as they have
done before. The general 1esults of my
investigations, based on nearly 225, 900
cases. may be summed up in the follow
ing five propositions:
The rate at which diseases of the nerv-
Gus system prove fatal to the population
of This country is a steady one, and sub
iect to detinite law, to which there are
not any or only apparent exceptions.
This rate does not appear to vary per-
ceptibly from time to time, and amounts
to abouut IL per cent Of the entire NOR
talitv from all causes.
2, Diseases of the nervous system oc-
cupy the fourth rank among the nala-
dies destructive of human life, being
only surpassed in fatality by zymotic,
tuhercular and respiratory diseases.
3. Nervous diseases are not, as is CON-
monty asserted, more frequent, but, on
the contrary, less numerous in large
towns than in the country, and it is
Droba bly, that their occurrence is power
fully influenced by race.
4. Sex has a considerable influence on
the production Of nervous diseases; fol
although in this country the population
Of females exceeds that of the males, the
deaths Of males from nervous affections
preponderate constantly over those OF
females, the male death rate being ~ "a
and the female l1.62 per cent

The report that Admiral Stephenson
has said that the British occupied Cor
rinto in order to test the Monroe doc
trine needs to he taken with great
deal of allowance. On its face it is
highly improbable. Even had that
been he purpose, or one purpose, of the
occupation. it is not at all probable that
stated for that would have been to
betFay the designs of the government,
and no discreet naval officer would do
that. But assuming that such was the
purpose of the British government the
test was not correct one. The Monroe
doctrine does not imply that the United
States government is to assume the
