EPlNAL F'rance), Oct. 9.-Jules Me-

preceding the present government of NJ
Brisson, and who presided at the ban
quet of the Association of Railway
Employees here last evening, uttered a
serious warning against the agitation

Referring to the divided state of the
country, the violence of polemics and
the sectarian spirit displayed In politics.
he said it was impossible to- see France
thus torn by factions and devoured by
political passions, while daily the prin-
ciple of authority was undermined, the
army weakened and the institution
upon which rested the security OF the
nation We're shaken, without thinking
Of that opening in the Vosges through
which an invading army could pass"
or without thinking of ''some unfore-
seen temptation being offered to the
foreigner"
The adversaries of France, however.
had no need to declare war, said NJ
Meline. They were content to await
the exhaustion of France.

Grave Charges Against the Pres

KANSAS CITY, Oct. "a special to
the Journal from Topeka, Kan. says
DR.. c. H. Wetmore has rendered his
resignation as Superintendent of the
State Insane Asylum at Topeka to Gov
ernor Leedy and the State Board of
Charities.
Accompanying the resignation was a
letter to the Governor, in which DR..
Wetmore gave his reason for resigninga
The letter tells an astounding story of
alleged cruelty, inhumanity and de-
bauchery at that institution under the
present management. The doctor tells
of alleged instances of death of patients
from neglecti speaks of the "drunkards
and incompetents placed over the un-
fortunate inmates" charges that a
State ''joint' exists at the asylum: ac-
cuses Chairman H. d. Jumper of the
State Board of Charities with being on
q continual debauch for the past fifteen
months, and openly charges subordinate
officials with attempting to ruin pure
women.
These are only a few. of the sensa-
tional charges made in the letter which
is published in full. DR.. Wetmore de-
clares that he stands ready to prove
every charge, and says he can prove
even more. Wetmore is an appointee of
the present Populist administration.

Sergeant HyNk of the Twenty-second

and arrested the fugitives. Before this

Knocked Sergeant Heck's bayonet to
the ground and attempted to slash him
with razor, but could not get near

The shot fired by the sentry aroused
the whole post. Colonel Sinclair of the
artillery one of the first to reach the
scene of the trouble, ordered the men
taken to the guardhouse in double irons.
The two prisoners, in obedience to or
ders, stepped forward, and the guard
fell behind. After taking a few steps
both prisoners bolted. Colonel Sinclair
gave the order to fire, and three pri-
Yates fired. Greenwald fell dead in his
tracks without a cry. A bullet had

THE NEXT HOUSE.
Indications Point to Repr blicans
Retaining Control.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Wash

IN series of dispatches from corre-
spondents in every State of the Union.
except Maine, Vermont and Oregon,
where Congressional elections have al
ready been held, a view of the political
situation, with special reference to the
complexion of the next House of Rep
resentatives.
In summarizing it's dispatches the
Post says: while Democratic gains
are outlined in many States, the figures
given by the correspondents of the
Post do not yet make it positive that
the Republicans will lose control of the
House. There is at present in the
House of Representative a Republi-
can majority of fifty-six over all par
ties combined, and this large majority
will be difficult to completely over
come. There is no doubt that it will
be reduced to a very small number but
the present indications do not point to
its entire disappearance.
The estimates made by the Posts
correspondents show that 166 districts
in the approaching election-unless the
tional districts will give the Republi-
cans majority of the House"
According to the Posts adviceS,
there are no less than forty-two doubt
full districts, the large number, in a
great measure due to the caution of
the Posts" correspondents in declin-
ing to place in the certain column any
district which contains an element Of
doubt. Out of this forty-two, how
ever there are at least twenty districts
in which the chances are said to favor
the Republicans. With 166 districts
assigned with certainty to the Repub-
licans, as against 12S assigned to the
Democrats, according to the POSTS"
figures, the party in power has an cas-
ier path to travel to the desired goal.
The Populists are given thirteen seats
and the Silver Republicans four.

Our Astonishing Commerce.

The April report Of exports and
imports additionally emphasizes
the phenomenal trade situa ion OF
the country.
During the ten months ending
with April we exported more OF
our own productions by SIa4 9ao,-
a9a than we did during the same
period last year.
During the same time we i'm
ported less foreign goods by $780,
oo8, osS than we did for the CORE
spending period last year.
In other words we increased our
favorable trade balance by the
enormous sum OF iS2I4So5,493 over
the highly favorable balance Of last
year, making a total excess of ex-
ports over imports Tor the last ten
months Of SsG4,a4s,4os, or more
than half a billion to the good.
These figures explain our great
influx of gold During these ten
months we have received from
abroad S9Q,3I5,5oI in gold, and we
have exported Of that metal only
SI4,836,oO3. We have thus added
to our gold supply from this source
alone SSA479, 4o8. besides keeping
at home the product of our own
gold mines, amounting to about
$50 900, 900.

that has awakened Europe t, the

But it does not limit the United

That is, President Monroe said
to Europe: "You must not meddle

maintain, is a strong man; and
wherefore, then, is a nation OF
Spaniards ineffectlVe9 II is very
easy to say that race wears out
like family, but even if that doc
trine is true, which we doubt, not
seeing evidence that the Jews, who
are the oldest of races, are worn
out, or that the Parsees are feebler
than the FIRE worshiPping Persians
from whom they descend. the wear
ing out takes a long time, and
Spain has taken, on the hypothesis,
less than three hundred years. She
was at her highest point during
our Elizabethan period, and it
would be hard to prove that, ex-
cept perhaps in the power OF pro
ducing first class poetry, the Vic
torian English are at all inferior to
the Elizabethan. They are GER
tainly as efficient for all the differ
ent tasks Of life, which is the point
we are now discussing, and more
efficient both as administrators and
industrials. Spaniards are not, and
it seems to us a matter Of keen in
terest to discover a reasonable ex-
planation OF the difference.
Why Spaniards do not increase
faster in numbers we cannot even
guess, but the same fact was OBJ
servable in our own Elizabethan
period, the total result being that
they seem in the presence of ad-
vanCing Europe, and especially Of
the energetic, uncontented, push
ing AnPlo-Saxon, to be standing
still. They will fight in this war,
as we shall see, right we'll, and with
a great wish for victory at any cost
of danger; but they will always be
late, always half organized, and al
ways baffled when they are most
in earnest by the want OF certain
capacity in their agents for taking
infinite trouble. The true motto
of the SpanIard, as of our own
brave Highlander, is II Gamma be
fsshed,' and it is motto which, in
an age when trouble-taking races
are in front, means disaster if not
death.

ENGLAND.
The FALL OF MANILA.
ZitheS-London, May a,

The crucial interest OF the situation
has been shifted, since the news of the
American victory at Manila, to Madrid.
1t is possible that a strong and self
reliant nation-even If it had been
caught, as it should not have been,
unprepared-would not have been cast
down by the destruction Of the weak
squadron which had to encounter a far
more powerful enemy under the made
quate protection of the guns Of the
Cavite forts. But whether the defeat
could have been avoided or not by the
greater vigilance and more effectual
preparations, or whether it involves all
the consequences that are anticipated
in some quarters, the recognition ofthe
fact that the Americans have been
victorious in the first encounter has had,
as it was bound to have, a profound
effect in Spain. The significance of the
proclamation OF martial law in the Span
ish capital is obvious to all, but especi-
ally to those who are familiar with the
history of Spain since the restoration Of
the Bourbons at the close OF the PENN.

The Cost OF the War.

A iair estimate OF the cost oil the
war tor the next twelve months
brings the amount up to about
5000, 900, 600, or $1,000, 900 day.
But the war ought not to last a
year; it ought not to last SIX
weeks. The cost of the war will
depend entirely on the vigor with
which it is prosecuted.
War on the basis of peaceful

Of the century; war on the Dewey
plan would be over in thirty days.
The war will cost whatever the
Administration makes It cost.
