As TO orR CARTooN.

The big swine rrunted and poked its
nose into the ribs of the lesser pork upine
when Standard oil Rockefeller addressed
a letter TO the Commissioners denying the
Charge that his company was in any way
for the high price OF gas. He
positively contradicts the several state
mcnts made by Supt. Lecch on behalf of
the gas monopoly, and says the facts are
given without prejudice or favor TO the
subject OF cheaper gas under consideration
10y the Commissioners.
While Mr.. Rockefeller's denial is in
teresting as connected with the methods
OF the gas company tits entirely unnecessary
so far as the public is concerned. No one
seriously entertained the charges made
in Supt Lcech's argument before the
Commissioners. The cost OF crude oil is
too well known TO give his statement a
moments credit as being reliable, and
unless the gas monopoly can find other
and better reasons for charging Sl-25
per thousand for its product the public
will continue TO demand cheaper gas.
Unless the gas monopoly is willing TO
make a reasonable concession and supply
consumers With good dollar gas suf'
ficient in influence viii be brought on
Congress to issue another franchise to
company that WIN be more liberal.
People who try to override public Opin-
ion invariably have their fan, and the
washington Gas Light Company viii be no
exception TO this rule.

DEADLY DISEASE OF THE TIMES.
The Great IncreE in the Number OF
Cases of Paresi is.

Cases of ParesiS.
In connection with the Cock-sure state
ment of Mr. Howells, says the Medical
Record that the present race was never
so healthy and strong as now, il is inter-
esting TO read the following paragraph
written by Dr. T S. .Clouston, superintendent
of the Morningside Asylum, Scotland. He
SAYS:
lone terrible form of brain disease, vita
mental symptoms, is certainly increasing.
That malady may be described as.
a breakdown of the great center of mind
and motion in the brain; il always goes
on from bad To worse until it renders its
victims utterly helpless in mind and body
and kills him a few years No cure and
scarcely any mitigation OF this lattcr-day
curse has yet been devised. 1t is disease
of cities, Of restless lives, of active brains
in their primes, sometimes of dissipation
and dcbauchery, of life at high pressure
commonly
During the past year the asylums of
Scotland received 40 new cases; those of
England, Acc, and those Of Ireland, 50.
The asylum statistics of this country show
an even greater number.
In a sirGle asy ylUm of this State, fer in
ample, that of ogdenburg, there were
among 659 admissions 81 cases of general
parcsis This would make the proportion
Of general paresiS over 4 per cent.
Among Eeven State asylums, to which
,942 patients were admitted in 1890
there were Sc cases of general parcsis, or
little over 3 per cent. If a per cent be
the general ratio foFthis diSease in the State
| of New York, then the total number of
paretics among the 16 eco insane would
be about $40 AS a matter Of fact, the
| number is greater, becauSc the proportion
of this disease in larger in the New York
and Kings county asylums than in those of
The State at large. But even if tSere were
but LOCO cases Of general paresis among
the 1o0 900 insane people of this Country
it would be an extraordinary evidence oi
the development of a GiseaFe which il the
last century was certainly not known even
if it did exist

rxREAsoNING FANATICISM.

True religion nclines its believers to a
Charitable opinion ~ all people. and also
prompts a desire to keep them frum HARM
On The contrary, fanaticism attempts TO
override every belief not in accord with
81 own peculiar views and prefers violent
oppositiun 90 other sentiments rather than
they should be given voice or freedom. IL
was faua ieism OF a horrible, repulSiye ma
ture that induced a Holiness camp meeting
o. Indian springs, Georgia, 10 pray that
God should prevent knights of Pythias
excursion from holding its annual picnic
Rnd dance at the same place, and because
the excursion train was wrecked and three
people killed il must have been something
worse than fanaticism that impelled the
ministers OF the meeting 10 allude t. the
accident as d Divine interference.
The olher day in New York, the Rev.
Thomas Dixon in sermon claimed that
Professionalism was a failure, and attempted
to prove his claim 10y stating that statis-
tics showed that eighty per cent of MEM
bars oCrhurcacS were women and Uliat there
were twenty-five per cent less church
ton than there were ten years ago. II
this is true, il is the teachers Of Protestant
ism who are % blame. The religion Itself
remains and always viii remain unchanged.
Love, not passion, is its fundamental
principle IL wishes no harm even to the
humblcst Of Gods creatures, and when
ministers and representatives Of religious
organizations attempt to convert that gen
Gle emoloninup an instrument OF vengeance
righJ-minaed people turn away from then.
in horror and disgust
To meet with favor in this enlightened
age religion must not only touch the heart
with the gentleness of love, but it must
also reach the reason and there find a
lodging place. Unreasoning fanaucism can
no longer be Imposed upon the public
for a religious belief, and if there has beeP
q decline in Professionalism it is due more
60 the uncuided efforts nf fanaucal tea chers
than desire Of the public To renounce
Protest tauti>m itself.

LESSON OF THE EARTHQUAKE.

LESSON OF THE EARTHQUAh f.
The seismic disturbance which agitated
four OF five uf the Eastern States early
sunday morning lasted ten seconds. When
it is remembered that the severe shocks
which laid Charleston in ruins nine years
ago were only Of about thirty seconds du-
ration. itwil b. seen what narrow escape
Philadelphia and othercities had froma amust
tragic experience.
From time to time there have been
seismic vibrations in all the Atlantic coast
States. They have extended from Maine
to Texas. Only year or two ago shocks
were felt in the northwestern part OF Penn
sylvania or these disturbances none has
fortunately attained the severity of the
great Charleston earthquake, but each of
them is a reminder OF possibilities, that of
sunday morning being the most significant,
except the one Of 1856.
It is pretty well esta ablished that there are
no volcanic strata along the Atlantic coast
Of the United States, and scientists are
nearly agreed that these disturba noes are
due to the adjustment OF strata of rock or
earth. This being conceded, the importance
OF the phenomena tn builders and architects
becomes apparent Had the vibrations in
Philadelphia lasted ten seconds longer her
tallest buildings would have toppled and in
calculable loss of life and property been the
result

NOT A coon CAxDmATE.

1t is frequently urged by friends OF
President Cleveland that he viii be nom
mated and reelected a third time on the
record the democratic party VIII make
on the tariff law. The truth is President
Cleveland refused to sign the tariff law
because it too clearly showed the handi-
work OF Senator German, and in a pub
lie message he denounced it as a meas
ure fraught with ''perfidy and dshonor"
And as the bill became a law without
his consent or signature, it is impossible
to in any way credit him with the good
it may accomplish.
Putting aside the prejudice OF American
voters against third term Presidential
candidates Mr. Cleveland could never be re-
elected were he to receive the nomination
His public utterances and his administra-
tion Of public affairs are too much at vari-
aHce to enlist for him the support of the
masses. His celebrated philippe against
trusts and his other turgid platitudes on
the duties of public officials are too fresh
in the memories Of the common people to
secure him their votes.
Among corporations and with most of
the army OF officials he has placed in
office President Cleveland would be a
popular candidate. But with work. ng
people, who remember Chicago, and among
the classes opposed TO the issue of gov
ernment bonds, his candidacy would meet
with little favor. II the Democratic party
desires 10 reap the benefit of an opportu-
nifty to make a campaign on the good re-
suits of the tariff law, it must abandon
the idea of nominating President Clcve-
land for third term.

FLOODS IN MEXICO.
Bridges Washed Away and

Railroad Bridges Washed Away and
Telegraph Wires Down.
ST. Louis. Sept 3-SpeCials from saItilIo
and other points in Eastern Mexico say that
that section of the country has jgst been
visited by the heaviest floods known FOR
many years.
The Mexican National Railroad has sut
fered heavy losses. ten bridges having been
washed away north OF SJluIio. Telegraph
wires are also down IN that part o1 the cOun-
try and great damage has been caused 10
crops and property,
Official reports of the havoc created by
the mountain rain last Friday in Northeast
ern Mexico prove the situation even worse
than first reported.
Between Monterey and Laredo at least
ten miles of telegraph wires We're washed
away, and almost every bridge was car
