If those reports OF Armenian
massacres were all true there would
have been no Armenians left to kill
a year ago. There is limit to the
number Of people that can be killed
in small country, and there is a
limit also to the belief in the SEN
sational reports of newspapers.

San Francisco newsdealers are
attempting to boycott the Saliva

through tougher times than it will
encounter in Frisco and yet is
alive and kicking. Boycott is a
fOreordained failure in this country,

The Senate of the United States
in its closing hours seemed
to have lost sight Of the fact that
the revenues Of the country were
not equal to the expenditures.
They threw piles Of money around
with a recklessness that reminded
one of the flush times just after
the war.

The leading colored citizens Of
Houston have openly con demned
those blatant speeches at Atlanta
on the occasion of the funeral Of
Fred Douglas. Commenting on
that affair, the LIGHT said that no
colored community in Texas would
be guilty Of such a fragrant out.
rage upon decency as those Of their
race in Georgia. This action of the
cOl0red people at Houston confirms
the opinion formed of that race as
existing in Texas. The LIGHT is
not wrong when it speaks for the
colored men Of the state. 1t is only
just to themselves that they should
not be held accountable for the
sayings Of irresponsible members
of their class, outside of the state.
All whites are not wise, and it is
not to be expected that all the men
OF color are so, but the Texas col.
ored man has horse sense.

There is no intention on the part
OF the LIGHT to be unnecessarily
captious, but it is quite evident
that the opportunities for improve

all utilized when the clerkships

cient servants.

Retrenchment and reform have
been the watchwords in the city
administration for some time.
The retrenchment is seen in the re-

of city work and see the reforms
instituted.

1t is said that fashion next summer

stylish young women are already having
their feet prepared for next season s

too captivating for anything in shoes
and stockings are not altogether lovely
when exposed to view, and feminine
owners of such defective extremities are
now invoking the aid of the pedicurists
to make them presentab Bile. Civilization
and high shoes have inflicted many
wrongs upon the human understanding,
and many ladies recognize that if they

put themselves upon a better footing.

This amazing contagion Of the homicidal
mania continues to be subject of seri-
Gus discussion both by physicians and
laymen. Professor Forbes Winslow, the
great expert in mental diseases, takes
occasion to urge radical change in tho
lunacy laws. The great specialist also
says:

cause the loss of blood, it would afford

These ordinary homicidal lunatics, who
are sane on the surface, are the most
difficult to deal with. You may talk to
them for four hours, and they will ap-
pear perfectly rational, yet they will
suddenly go out and attempt to kill the

| try's Commercial Supremacy Is Over.
| On review Of 1894 we are much
afraid that a survey of its industrial foa-
lures will but increase an apprehension
which OF late years has been growing
i'll Intensity, that the period of our COM
mercial supremacy has at last attained
its zenith and is now on the decline. 1t
Is not that the volume Of our exports
exhibits gradual but persistent retro
gression; it is not that the beating Of our
manufacturers on their own ground by
foreign rivals is being conducted on q
larger and larger scale; that our agricul-
ture has gone to the dogs, and that our
iron Industry seems in a fair way Of fol-
lowing its example. These facts are bad
enough, it is true, but they are only
symptoms, after all, and symptoms Of
something worse than the facts are them
selves. The fact to be regretfully &C.
knowledged is that where we were once
first we are now not second Or even
third in the broad path which electrical
science has laid open to our progress
Taking a broad view Of our main in
dustries, is there any one of them which
can fairly be stated to bear promising
future? Is there one of them which does
not present signs which, whether real
lied Or not, point eloquently to the prin-
c1ple OF decay? 1t is a stupefying fact,
or would have been SO regarded but a
few years ago. that Belgian ironwork is
actually imported for use in the country
OF iron. Our textile industry is gradu-
ally being undermined by the diligence
OF its machinists, who are sedulously in
duclng our export customers to manu-
facture their own fabrics and set our
looms standing idle at home In ship
building the American shipyards are as
suming the aspect of rivals Of more and
more formidable proportions. Our loco
motive export trade is relatively para
lyzed because foreigners now make their
own engines. Our chemical trade is de-
parting to Germany. In the paper trado
our own markets are deluged with for
eign productions, both cheaper and bet
ter than we can make ourselves In
agricultural machinery our manufactur-
ers toll for great part unsuccessfully
against the products of Germany and
the United States
All these are facts which cannot be
disputed though they may be mini
mized At all points apparently we are
tagging behind. A nation without
speciality does not count Our speciality
was surely that Of being in tho van of

dent advocate would hardly venture to
assert that this is England's position

Form of Homicidal Mania.
The strange epidemic of insanity
which prompts it's subjects to stab stran-
gers, usually women, in the streets of
London has not yet ended, and the popu-

the city continues. One of the most
startling cases occurred on Wednesday
in front Of fashionable store in Oxford
street amid large throng of shoppers.
a young man plunged his knife three
inches deep into the back Of lady and
then quietly waited until the police
came and arrested him. The prisoner,
who had good reputation, declared in
court that he was unable to account for
his action. He said that strange, ire
sistible impulse to stab some one seized
him suddenly, and he acted upon it at
the same instant He had never seen his
victim till that moment.

No Sympathy For Lady Churchill.

There isa world of significance which
is fully appreciated in this country in
the fact that the queen sent warm
message of coincidence to the dowager
Duchess of Marlborough OH the death of
her son, but no word to the bereayed
widow, Lady Randolph Churchill.
The omission carries with it peculiar
bitterness, because Lady Randolph has
been most faithfully devoted during her
husbands long illness, and whatever
gossip may have said in the past there
has been no question in recent years of
her rank and prominence in the best So

AN ELECTRICAL GIRL.
She Lives In Missouri, and Wonderful
Tales Are Told About Her.

Tales Are Told About Her,
The latest electrical girl to bo heard
from is Jennie Moran, who lives near
Sedalia, Mo- One Of her many alleged
wonderful powers is that of illun,iuut
ing room by her presence. This she
can do or not do, just as she chooses
The most marvellous thing, however,
about the feat is that human eyes have
not yet been able to see where the light
comes from. On entering dark room
it is at once as light as day if she Wills,
but when she goes out the light is cx-
tinguished. When producing the phe-
nomenon, nobody dares touch her OH
penalty Of death. She seems to be
charged with all the electrical bolts of
a live wire. The personal atmosphere
chat surrounds her at such times repels
and thus has saved many from injury.
A cat was picked up by the girl whilo
charged and was instantly killed. In
fact, she is admitted to be an actual hu-
man dynamo. Even during ordinary
times, when she is as near the normal
as she ever gets, terrific shocks are ex-
perienced by those who take hold of
her hands. One gentleman, Henry ].
Ashcroft, who was investigating the
case, endeavored to undergo the tor.
ments of the girls powers, but at the
end of few seconds was unconscious.
After recovering he found that his gold
watch had turned black. So, at least,
the stories run in the local papers.
