VOICE OF OUR PRESS oHissuEs
OF THE DAY.


Chicago Chronicle (sfay 81: TEistef
Chandler has enlarged the sphere Of his
statesmanly activities. Having en-
joyed q season Of repose after tying 4
series Of knots In the tail OF the British
hon. he now FORCES TO the front Il Is
no vulgar plebeian petition from the
herd begging congress to make rs all
happy, II not virtuous- It h petition
humbly offered by grave and reverend
senators to their own committee on
finance. Thirty-one senators who have
signed X soIemnly beg the COM
mittee, in case they considerable any
revenue bill during the present session.
to support the addition Of . clause
providing for an adequate duty on
wool"
Herein Chandler exhibits himself In
the character Of statesman inventor
who thinks OF things which are 90 sim
pie that the wonder ever grows why
nobody has ever thought Of them be-
fore. He reminds one Of a certain MEM
Der Of q state legislature. The Tower |
house" had cleared away everything |
that was ready 70 be acted on one morn
ing and someone moved to adjourn The /
member referred to took the floor and
supported the motion In an elaborate
speech. He was very much out Of or
der, Of course. but the house tolerated
him and then adjourned Probably 1t
would not have had the collective sense
to adjourn IL he hadn't demonstrated
that the thing could be done without
fracturing our institutions
So In this case. The members II the
finance committee, including Morrill,.
Aldrich and John Sherman, never
would have thought of wool II Chand-
Ter hadn't mentioned it and induced
thirty other thoughtful senators to help
him mention il. Members Of the finance
committee are so stupid. As 1t Is, we
may depend upon 1t that wool will not
be neglected n the committee takes a
'evenue bill In hand this session. Then
chandler win be the first In the hearts
# his shepherd countrymen. II
Come to look at It, perhaps Chandler
ias some idea beyond that of making
himself solid in the sheep pastures. One !
u two republican senator's have been
70 lost to al sense Of party duty as '
actually to say that they would vote Z
or almost any kind Of tax that any Z
'ne might propose to raise sufficient
revenue. Chandler and his thirty fell q
ow petitioners do not want suficient I
-evenue. Just now q deficit suits them G
better than surplus. Therefore they
AXE this method Of giving notice that 4
Z anybody proposes any kind OF tax q
or revenue only they win antagonize I
I with the most offensive and bur :
iensome Of protective taxes-the. tar 1
N wool Here. no doubt. We approach g
he true inwardness Of the Chandler
'etition.

It 10 said to be the belief Of ex-Presi-
dent Harrison that the party should
give utterance to a conservative SEN
timent In respect to the tariff and
should be as pronounced as possible on
the money question. He favored an
explicit and uneQuivocal declaration
for the gold standard, saying that the
money question and not the tariff Will
be the issue between the two parties
this year.
And what are we to think of the
sincerity Of President Harrison? He
signed the Sherman bill with its pur-
chasing clanse He did 1t with his eyes
open and with fun knowledge that the
design was to placate the silver senti-
ment In his own party and secure to his
candidacy IL possible the electoral
votes Of mining camp states that other
wise might be in revolt.
This man now Is to tell the people
Of the United States, who have suffered
dearly through his demagogic act, what
they shall do concerning the currency
question.
he tells them, too, about the neces-
sity OF conservative action upon the
tayif question. yet he gladly gave his
signature when president to radical ac-
ton On the tariff. and even when his
party In the congressional elections Of
1880 was overwhelmingly beaten he
went out Of his way I'm the message he
sent to congress in the succeeding De-
cember to denounce the people of the
United States for rendering a verdict
against the Mckinley law, and insisted
hat congress should take no backward
step.
Perhaps ex-President Harrison. while
not capable practitioner generally. Is
= devil Of q doctor on iits, and Il was
Tor the purpose Of offering his profess
sional services in that connection that
be did his best to throw the republic
AN party into fits.

Now from indianapolis comes the
statement that at a joint meeting of
two window glass associations, the
Pittsburg and the Western, held last
Tuesday. 1t was decided to close down
every window glass factory In the
United States on the 18th of May. This
Is thirty days earlier than the usual
shutdown for repairs. The reason as
signed Is sthe glut in the glass market
The sagacious manufacturers, accord

pose not only to close down. but "a

Again the warning shout, again the
rapid turn to the right, and neain the ring
OF O rifle bullet. Jose threw himself side
ways in the saddle, as he had seen Julio
do ut exercise. Shouts rose behind. He
heard the sentries calling to one another:

Louder grew the sound Of households.
Jcsc's brave heart bounded, for no knew
that all the outposts on tho seaboard side
were In hot chase, fondly believing that
the black horse carried Julio d'Arroyo.
And now the rifle and revolver shots
came faster and faster. Once the black
horse swervcd and boundcd-a shot had
grazed his flank. Once something went

leaped into the palms.
"Rcng" went the mauser rifle, and a
great pain tingled the nerves in Josc's
shoulder. He stumbled, recovered him
self and sped on, tho Spaniard in hot pur-
suit. 1t could not be serious wound, he
thought, since he still could run, and at
running few Spanish infantrymen could
beat the hectest foot for many a league.
There was q temporary lull In the sound
OF hoofs behind. They had found his horse
and were consulting, no doubt. Soon
again he heard them crashing through tie

through the underground, now across a
cultivated field, now down q roadway.
where the shots ratified like castanets in
the theater at Havana. At last, spent and
with a mist before his eyes, he ran almost
into the arms Of a man in Spanish

the enemy, but he was promptly knocked
senseless with the butt end OF revolver.

KILLING PEOPLE
BY WILL POWER.

There Is q now cult in London, which
makes homicide n science and murder q
proper and mcritorious act. 1t is tho gen.
Ito art Of disposing OF people whom you
think havo outlivcd their usefulness BY
simply willing them dead. Then they die
If your will is strong enough.
This is u slow process sometimes, but 1t
is easy and devoid of danger to the killer
''If at first you don't succeed, try, try
again." is tho motto of the followers Of the
new cult. Most people arc inclined to re-
gard tho statement that murders arc COM
mittcd in this way as absurd. OF course
it does seem preposterous that by the mere
exercise of strong will power one person
can accomplish the destruction of another,
even II the latter be several hundred miles
away.
But, prepcsterous or not, the psychic
sharps who have delved into tho subject
claim to have unearthed numerous cases
where death was brought about by willing
Skcptics dispose of these cases as being
morely condolences. This may be, but
they arc certainly very strange. One Pc
culiarity Of these cases is that tho killers
glory in their work and point to it with
pride.
Tho latoAnna Kingsford was one of the
first to come out and acknowledge herself
as a killer by willing, and Edward Matt
land, who recently brought out q book
about her, describes these killings with
volnminous detail. Mrs. Kingsford was
strange woman in many ways. Sho was
an accomplished physician and the wife of
an English Clergyman. They agreed to
part and for her to live in "intelloctual
coinpanionship' with Mr.. Maitland.
