Neither of them had slept winkl

What was told to me by the Chinese

The gngham dog went "bow-wow-wow!"
And the calico cat replied meow

Mr.. Edward Wemple of Fultonvile n.
Yin the famous Mohawk Valleys
charged with various acts of incendiar-
ism. In case the charges shall prove
well founded, psychologists and students
Of abstruse mental and physical phen-
omena will have presented to them an in
teresting case for study. MIR Wemple
has been one Of the most prominent men
of his section, a manufacturer of means,
ana a politician of ability. He has been
a member of the state assembly, a state
senator, member of congress, and the
controller of the state of New York. He
has also been a leading politician of the
Democratic party, credited with being
exceptionally level-headed.
Unfortunately. Mr.. MemDle was adj
dicted to the habit of over-indulgence in
strong drink. lie took the Kelley cure
for the habit, but it seemed to do him no
good. He continued to drink whisky
Lately several suspicious fires have oc-
Cured in his town. and the report is that
the origin of the fires has been traced
directly to him by circumstantial evil
dence. His friends say that the liquor
habit and the Kelley cure combined have
unsettled his mind-that they have pro-
duced in him an intense and ungoverna-
bic desire to destroy property by fire

Mr. Wemple is charged-the destruction
of the dwelling of a neutrality-suspicious.
absolutely no suggestion of a motive. In
another case, the burning Of a manufac-
turing plant in which he was formerly
interested as part owner. there is a
traceable motive. In a third case there
is no apparent motive; and there are sew
eral similar cases charged up against
him. The preponderance of evidence. as
given by the telegraphic dispatches, is
that the burning, if done by him, was the
result merely of an insane desire to see
property consumed by fire. What the
courts and the scientists will make out
of it cannot be foretold
The New York authorities have ordered
that no flowers shall be sold on Sunday.
This will probably be objected to by the
women. What would an engagement. or

From the Washington Post Qnd).

It is to be hoped that the republican ma
jority soon to assemble in the capitol,
will have the courage, the common sense
and the patriotism to deal with this mat
wump dream of peace is possibly only
where the preparation for war is approx
mately perfect. With powerful coast de-
stationary or movable, at every seaport
on our ocean front, we are in far less dan
ger of molestation than now, when our
weakness is constantly inviting agrees
sion and attack The republicans should
by their wise and patriotic action, court
comparison with the feeble and disingen-
uous course of the democrats in this re-
spect. Let them stand for the country
and the people will sustain and laud them
accordingly.

Sir Joseph Renals, eX-lord mayor OF
London, who has been refused an In
dorsomcnt by the city corporation, is
sport and a worshipper of money. Not
long ago he gave a great banquet to
Barney Barnato, the "Kahir king" for
the sole reason, it is alleged. that Barnato
is a very rich and influential man. and
might put his host in the way of making
a snug sum of money in speculation in
African mining stocks. At the banquet
to Barnato there was n striking absence
of men of character and note, and a
striking plentitude of men who are en-
gagged in the business of specializing. The
banquet has been spoken of as a feast
of pawnbrokers, under the patronage Of
the lord mayor.
The commissioners of streets of the Dis

will, accordingly, not be permitted 10 use
any Washington street as it pleases, but
will have to reach such points as it wishes
to reach along such streets only as the
commissioners may select for its use.

1t appears that the suspicious recently
turned upon Mr.. Sponord, the librarian
of congress, were due to the too hasty
conclusions of an auditor of the treas

multitude Of his duties, and an made

the suspicion that there had been de-
falcation in the Librarians office. 1t ap-

The jingoes, it appears, will have to re-

relates TO an American protectorate for
the embryo republic of Cuba. An English
journal, the Graphic, Of London, has said
that probably it would be the best thing
for the great American republic to estab-
lish protectorate over Cuba. And of
course, the jingoes could never endorse
anything that had the sanction of a Brit
