About Eyeglasses.

If you are so unfortunate as to be com
pelled to wear eyeglasses or spectacles
see that they fit not only as regards tn
glasses, but the frames. There is moth
ing uglier than the marks Of i'll fittinI
glasses on either side of the nose. Al
optician who understands his busines
measures the bridge of the nose, the dis
tance Of the eyes from it and the widt
Of the temples, and bends or fits th
glasses accordingly. Apart from tn
discomfort and Disagreement Of badl
fitting frames, it is hardly possible ths
the glasses which they hold are right
They arc almost certain to be out {
focus. In choosing glasses, although tn
oculist or optician is bound 10 proVid
you with what is right, much depend
upon yourself, for he cannot see wit
your eyes. The great mistake Of thos
not accustomed TO lenses is TO get theI

lie we had a profound sense of relief
which even then we found it difficult
TO justify to our own judgment. But
we certainly never expected to see
those very light sentences attenuated
until they were more nominal than
real. 1t seems to be forgotten how
very serious the crime of which the
raiders were found guilty, and indeed
have virtually admitted that they were
guilty, really is. II was the deliberate
defiance Of all law, the waging of pri-
vate war, and the taking of human life
without even a shadow of justification,
and this, too, with results of the direst
injury to our own colonial depend
encies in an inevitable legacy of an
archy and bloodshed to South Africa
of which we do not even now see the
end. Nor was there any such excuse
as was at first put forward for this cul-
pable violation of law and order.
No one pretends now to maintain
that there was really that danger to
women and children in Johannesburg
which was at one time the pretence for
the starting OF the raid. That pretence
was a little bit Of pure melo-drama of
which the inventors themselves must
| feel ashamed. We will not deny that
DR.. Jameson and his colleagues were
bold (though culpably rash) adven-
turers who took their lives in their
hands and were possibly actuated by
more or less of genuinely patriotic feel
| ing. But we should be sorry to deny
that many of the old Fenian conspira
tors in Ireland were actuated by fully
as much-perhaps more-impulsive pa
| triotism; and yet many of them-we
are not now referring to the dyna-
miters-have dragged out long SEN
tences in penal servitude, while some
have expiated their crime on the
scaffold.-London Spectator.

A BULLY AND COWARD.

The assault committed by Warden
Reed, OF New Castle Jail, upon an
Evening Journal reporter last evening
was unprovoked. brutal, cowardly and
In keeping with the character of a
man who would raise his hand against
n woman. This is but another OF many
deplorable incidents connected with
Sheriff Gillis' administration Of the af-
fairs OF the county Jail. Happily for
the good name Of the county, the sher-
IFS administration will close in about
a month and the character OF James b.
Toman and William r. Finn justify us
in saying that, no matter which is
elected. he will cleanse the institution
OF it's incompetents and bullies and
conduct the affairs OF the Office along
lines OF law and order
With such a beefy coward and bully
as this man Reed in charge Of the Jail
in the absence of the sheriff, it is no
wonder that stories of Righteousness
and cruelty are in circulation; nor is
II a matter OF surprise that when few
determined inmates demand the keys
he so promptly loses his head and
heart and hands them over and per-
mits a Jail delivery. Those four pris-
oners who escaped evidently knew that
Reed was bully; took il for granted
that he was a coward, and acted ac-
cordlngly.
Sheriff Gillis seems determined to
make his administration remembered
as the worst that ever disgraoed the
offlce. The public is to be congratu-
lated that he and his subordinates will
soon be out OF public service and the

AN UNLIKELY STORY.

We are informed that the opinion is
freely expressed in Washington that
all government officials who are openly
supporting Bryan and Sewall will be
dismissed from the service by Presi-
dent Cleveland. The Washington Star
thinks that the president is not in a
frame of mind to tolerate what he re-
CARDS as a reflection and reproach upon
the administration by persons who are
employed under it, The present Demo-
cratic campaign is thought, by the
friends of the president, to be more di-
rectly an attack upon the policy of Mr..
Cleveland than anything that the Re
publicans have been responsible for,
and they are naturally very bitter in
their denunciations of those Demo
Gratis who do not agree with them.
It is not claimed, however. that the
president has said anything to show
that he proposes to follow the course
above indicated, and we doubt very
much If he intends to do so. He nc
doubt feels the desertion of old friends
and particularly of those whom he ha.
rewarded with office, very acutely, bu
such policy as that proposed near th'
close Of his term of office would no
commend him as either a patriot or
statesman. He must know this and Sc
that it would injure his reputation 4
crafty a petty revenge. even If h
were inclined to do so, which we hav
no reason to believe.
Mr.. Cleveland, to do him credit. ha
always taken a broad and statesman
like view regarding the civil service
He has done more than any othe
president to introduce civil service re
fern, and has made himself unpopula

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
FRANCE IN MADAGASCAR.

There was printed in the Times the
other day new exposition of a theme
which is not new, the inefficiency Of
France as a colonizing power. The ex-
FOUNDER pointed out that a stationary
population, occupying no more ground
than will sustain it, has not the rea-
sons that urge to colonial expansion
peoples which by increase are pressing
harder upon their means of subsistence.
He might have added that France has
not the secondary reason for colonial
expansion that is so powerful with
Great Britain, the necessity, namely Of
finding work for its shipping. England
is still so clearly the mistress of the
seas that any foreign conquest or colo
nization which opens trade to all ma
tions on equal terms is clearly to her
benefit first of all. There is no way of
escaping from this except by reverting
to the seventeenth century notions of a
colony as a place the trade of which is
reserved for the mother country. What
that theory comes to in modern prac-
tice we may see from the example of
Spain, which administers what colonies
are still left to it upon that theory. and
| the policy of which has made Cuba
cost it more in the last two years than
/ It could get out of Cuba in the next
twenty If the insurrectiOn were to be
suppressed tomorrow. We may see IL
also in the example of France. which
has not a single colony that pays her
| directly or indirectly.
When the French government de-
cided by way Of cancelling all the con-
cessions granted by the Hova govern
| ment to foreigners other than French
men, to annex the island and make il
a French possession instead Of g
| French protectorate. the decision was
acclaimed as an easy way out of dip
lomatic complications. It was an
nounced that, for domestic purposes
the native local governments would b'
retained and the French occupation
limited to holding the port the capita
and the road between them. If this ar
rangement could have been carried on
it would have required a minimum o
expense and trouble. But evidently i
| involved the acquiescence of the ma
tives in the new order Of things, an
the natives do not seem disposed to ac
Quiesce. Moreover, the French resi-
dent general, whose functions are yer
much like those of the French residen
under the protectorate. except that h
has an army at his back, has manage
to involve himself in complications b
concessions to the native sentimen
which are declared in France TO b
weak and ill-judged and to have en-
boldened the Hovas TO fresh resistant
after they had been put TO fight by tn
French. The cry is now heard for
more vigorous policy in Madagascar
' and this means a much larger an
e more expensive force. Individu;
= Frenchmen will no doubt find their a,
count in the new state of things, but
will be very difficult to figure out Of
> any advantage to the French nation.
S is even possible that the authors of Il
/ conquest of Madagascar may come
o be as unpopular in France as was Il
:, author of the conquest of Tonquin.-
