NO EIGHT 0KnR HIM.

In some of the States there are large
and unpleasant fights going on over
the United States senatorship. Con-
necticut is fortunate In not having
such a fight, Yesterday with hearty
unanimlty and sincere eulogy, Senator
o. II. Plat was renominated. He
will be reelected without a dissenting
Republican vote. He has we'll earned
such appreciation and reward. And in
so honoring him Connecticut acts for
her own best interests and the best in
terests Of the country. Senator Platt's
ability, character and experience help
to give this State an influence at
Washington such as many of the small
States, and the large ones, too, do not
have. The State shows good sense and
proper appreciation Of the situation by
keeping him there.

gVINGED HORDS,

With a cheerful audacity that almost
challenges admiration, Grub Street
scribblers on a venal press, which pam
ders to the most vicious instincts of
semi-civilized foreign colonies like New
York city and Chicago, with semi-bar-
barrie splendor at the apex and semi
barbaric squalor at the base of their
social life, have puny and pre5ump-
tuous criticism Of those whose shoe
string they are not worthy to unloose.
The dogs of Egypt have barked at the
pyramids unanswered for fifty CEN
turtles. Let Grub Street rail on. They
well know that Kansas was a pillar
of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by
night, before an oppressed people, in
the nations darkest hour. We shall
keep those fires alight in our camps,
and that smoke ascending from the
hilltop, till this is indeed a government
of the people, for the people, and by
the people.
So said John w. Leedy, the Populist
governor of Kansas, in his inaugural
message yesterday. And there were as
many more winged words in the mes
sage as would make the whole number
10000. No other such gubernatorial
message has been delivered, but there
is no other Kansas. Let the dogs of
Egypt continue to bark unanswered at
the pyramids for fifty centuries more
and let Grub Street rail on as long as
there is anything to rail at. Kansas Is
all right. She has Governor Leedy and
Mrs. Lease.

TILE RuRoNIo pLAGUE.

There is some alarm over the posi-
bility that the bubonic plague may
soon get into Europe. From Hong
Kong, where the disease first started
upon it's present course, it has travelled
to Bombay, presumably by ship, either
through goods transported or in the
persons of sailors and passengers. I'm
less all accounts are astray the form
which the epidemic now takes is di-
rectly coincident with that of the
plaques of the Middle Ages and the
later centuries 1t afflicts the victim
in the inguinal or Emphatic glands
In medieval Europe the pestilence was
observed to select it's victims so largely
from the INDECENT and ill-fed classes
that it got the name Of the poor's
plague. 1t still retains this character
in Asia, as the Bombay death lists
show in striking light. The outbreak
first occurred in one Of the most squat
id quarters of the town, and with GER
tain exceptions it has spared the
weather. classes. Englishmen, wheth-
er through transmitted immunity
which they have shared with the ma
lions Of Europe since 1S41, or from a
higher standard of living, or from
whatever cause, have enjoyed a free
dom from attack so remarkable as to
render isolated cases among them quite
phenomenal. While the mortality from
all causes ran up to sixty-three per
thousand at the beginning of Novem-
Der, and again to sixty-three per thou
sand in the third week of that month,
the general death rate among the we'll
fed Parsis was just under thirty,
among the even better-fed Eurasians
twenty-four, and among the amply-fed
European community only eighteen per
thousand.
The Continental papers are now de-
claring that the plague will get to
France by spring From Hong Kong
1 it passed to several localities in south
eastern and southern Asia, and among
these to Tonquin. In the French col
onv it is slowly assuming great dimen-
sions as compared with the facilities
for spreading in the sparse Tonquinese
nonuIation. That the outbreak there
has received little attention is account
ed for by the absence of subjects, and
also by the silence of the French au-
thorities. But they now say that I'M
less it is checked there it will naturally
gain a foothold in the Straits settle
ments. and at the same time move to
Marseilles. Once in the Mediterranean
Sea it will have a better feeding ground
than the cholera has had in recent
years. Guarantees are difficult to en-
force there, and are seldom very close
when made as close as possible. II
the pest reaches France, which always
furnishes a habitation for the cholera
it will have the same facilities for bid
ing there that the dreaded choleraic
disorders have.

Fashions in jewelry change now and

hang anything to it from her scent

long chains set off the figure so finely
that no one cares what's on the end of
1t. The chains are of all sorts, and
only the man who paid the bill can
guess the price. Then the make be-

FASHION NOTES


wv IA RECOMMENDATIONS,
The finish Of dainty straps that was
SO much used year ago is still seen
occasionally, but the buckles that so
often suggested q travelling bag or
shawl strap are now replaced by but
tons. Another advantage Is that these
straps almost always make a good pre-
tence, at least, of fastening something
IN place, whereas they formerly were
all right If they looked as If they had
just fallen in their places and stuck
there. In the bodice shown herewith
four straps OF the dress goods--a green
novelty suiting-crossed a band of
white cloth at each side of the front
and each strap had it's pair of buttons.
Another piece of white stuff came in
the yoke, which was edged with. fur
that also ran along the shoulder seams.

They have had a dogs wedding in
Paris A part of the impressive cere-
rnony Is thus described: When the
guests, who included most of the fash
ionable society of Paris, arrived at the
Ephrussi mansion, they were ushered
into a drawing room brilliantly lighted,
at the end of which was a table, be-
hind which sat a clever performing
bulldog, who impersonated the mayor.
The canine bride, who wore white
satin gown trimmed with costly laces
and wreath of orange flowers, was es-
corted to the altar by venerable poo
die in blue frock coat with buttons.
The bridegroom arrived in regulation
swallow-tail coat, white cravat, and
satin waistcoat Both dogs are said to
have behaved with becoming decorum
during the ceremony, after which the
canine party proceeded to banquet,
on ali tours. And yet we wonder at
the increase of crime.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The Journal

May 81, and says in part:
81 deduce from my knowledge Of the
facts the following conclusions:
''First-Dr. Ruiz was arrested on a
false charge.
.'Second-He was placed under an
improper jurisdiction and died before
the proper tribunal considered his case,
thereby giving him no opportunity to
prove his innocence.
"Third-He was kept incommunicado
in a solitary cell for S15 hours, in viola
ton of his treaty rights, which limit
such confinement to ~ hours.
"Fourth-He died from congestion Of

of the head.

ment he ran across the cell as described
by one of the jailers and butted his head
on the door in frantic effort to get out.
Another, that he was struck on the head
with one of the clubs carried by the
jailers-by the immediate watchman-
who had probably ordered him to cease
his cries for relief and for his chill
dren, and, upon his not doing
so, struck him with more force
than he intended; or it is possible that
the blow was delivered to make him
confess or give evidence against others.
It is possible he went mad, and many
causes combined to produce such re-
suit. But whether when bereft of rea-
son he inflicted the blows which pro-
duced brain congestion, or whether he
died at the hands of others the fact
remains, his unjust confinement killed
him -
