Denia1s of Course.

NEW YORK, May %, 1ssS-At the Of
fees of James E. Ward & Co., this morn
ing, it was said there was no truth in
the allegation that the steamer Ardamn-
hor was trying to run~sthe blockade of
Havana and surprise was expressed at
the. fact that she had been seized. IL
was added that the Ward Line people
had never had anything to do with the
Ardannhor until after she discharged her
cargo of cattle at New York, when they
chartered her cargo of cattle at New
York when they chartered her. When
the steamer left New York. on May II,
she had on board a general cargo, con-
sisting principally of railroad iron, manu-
factured iron and lumber. She was
bound for Nassau and Mexican ports.
She left Nassau on Sunday night last and
was bound from there to Tampico, Mex
leo, and from there to Vera Cruz, re-
turning here after touching at Progreso.
The officials of the Ward Line say there
has not been the slightest thought of at
tempting to enter any Cuban port. as
could be demonstrated by the fact that
the Ardanmhor. har nothing in her cargo
suitable for a blockaded port. 1t was
added that the authorities at Washing
ton would be at once communicated with
and that demand for the release of the
steamer would be promptly made.

The Ardanmhor was released this after

Upon the arrival of the Ardanmhor at

TOO MANY POLICE.
Hoboken's Tax Commissioners Put

Tagan's Gang in Bad Fix.
The Hoboken Police Commissioners will
be in a dilemma next year. The Tax
Commissioners claim that as there are
now more men in the police force than
the law allows they cannot appropriate
the money to pay the vastly Increased
force.
The law says that the force shall be
constituted of seventy men, exclusive of
superior officers" The Police Board
holds that the detectives are superior
officers and have appointed seventy men,
exclusive of the chief, captains, sergeants,
roundsmen and detectives.
The Tax Commissioners have not asked
Corporation Attorney Minturn for his in
depreciation of the law, but have engaged
special counsel. There is liable to be
many q clash between the Tax Commits
sioners and the different city boards be-
fore the appropriations are finally made.

By the same reasoning he will justify
the vivisection of animals and patients.
He will say that is better that few an
imals should suffer than that one human
being should die; and that it is far bet
ter that one patient should die, if through
the sacrifice of that one, several may be
saved
Brain without heart is far more dan :
gerous than heart without brain. .
Have these scientific assassins dlscov-
cred anything of value? They may have
settled some disputes as to the action Of
some organ, but have: they added to the
useful knowledge of the race?
It is not necessary for a man to be a.
specialist in order to have and express
his opinion as to the right or wrong of
vivisectlon. It is not necessary to be a
scientist or naturalist to detest cruelty
and to love mercy. Above all the dis
coveries of the thinkers, above all the
Inventions of the ingenious, above all the
victories won on the fields of intellectu-
al conflict, rise human sympathy and a
sense of justice.
I know that good for the human rae e
can never be accomplished by torture.
I also know that all that has been asuer-
tanned by vivisechon could have been
done by the dissection of the dead. I
know that all the torture has been USE
less. All the agony inflicted has simply
hardened the hearts of the criminals,
without enl1ghtening their minds.
1t may he that the human race might
be physically improved if all the sickly
and deformed babies were killed, and it
all the paupers, liars, drunkards, thieves,
Williams, and vivise ctionists were mur-
dered. All this might, in few ages,
result in the reproduction of genera
tion of physically perfect men and wo-
men; but what would such beings be
worth-men and women healthy and
heartless, muscular and cruel-that is to
say, intelligent wild beasts?
Never can I be the friend of one WIN
viy1sects his fellow creatures. I do not
wish to touch his hand.
When the angel of pity is driven from
the heart; when the fountain of tears is
dry, the soul becomes serpent crawling
in the dust of desert.

The He'll
Of Science.
Col. Ingersoll Says It is An Infamous
Crime to Dissect Live Bodies for
Theory's Sake.
Human Sympathy and the Sense of Jus
tice Cry Out Against Vivisection.

In recent letter to a Boston friend,
Col Robert G.. Ingersoll denounced
vivisection in the strongest terms. He
said:
Vivisection is the inquisition-the
hell-of science. All the cruelty which
the human-or, rather, the inhuman-
heart is capable of inficting, is in this
one word. Below this there IS no depth.
This word lies like coiled serpent at
the bottom of the abyss.
We can excuse, in part, the crimes of
passion, We lake into consideration the
fact that man is liable to be caught by
a whirlwlnd, and that from brain on
fire the soul rushes to crime. But
what excuse can ingenuity form for a
man who dellberatel ly-with an unac-
celerated pulse-with the calmness of
John Calvin at the murder of Servetus-
seeks, with curious and cunning knives,
in the living, quiverlng flesh of dog,
for all the throbbing nerves of pam?
The wretches who commit these infam-
Gus crimes pretend that they are working
for the good of man, that they are actu-
ated by philanthropy; and that their pi-
ty for the suffering of the human race
drives out all pity for the animals they
slowly torture to death. But those who
are incapable Of pitying animals are, as
a matter of fact, incapable of plying
men. A physician who would cut a
living rabbit in pieces-laying bare the
nerves, denudlng them with knives, pull
ing them out with torceps-would not
hesitate to try experiments with men and
women for the qualification Of his curl
osity.
To settle some theory he would tritle
with the life Of any patient in his power.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-02-09

counties in this section, that were mani.
pulated for Clough two years ago, can
be handled by the machine in the same.
manner again. The people seldom con-
troll the caucuses and county conventions.
One or two men, who have the time and
interest at stake, will see to it that the
machines plans 60 not amiss. The mass
of the Republicans of Brown county in
all probability have no desire to endorse
the legacy of David M. Clough. Even
the Republican organ of the county pro-
fesses a determined opposition. But in
spite of this, the machine choice, wheth-
er it be Van SAINT or Collins, will be du-
ly cared for. And what is true OF Brown
county is true of nearly all the rest. The
well-minded Republicans, those who be-
lieve that the people should be allowed
to make their own nominations, talk,
but the politicians act-they pack the
caucuses and capture the delegations.
The state, convention comes along and
the machine IS once more on top. Then,
instead of boldly calling ahalt, the good
Republicans fall into line and excuse
their passive submission on the ground of
required loyalty to party. The boss
kDows this and lays his plans according
ly. He is aware of the subserviencY of
independence to the CLAIM Of political
partisanship. He knows that the aver
age Republican would swallow public
disgrace rather than a party defeat. The
close shave of two years ago frightened,
but it did notdiscourage. Absolute de-
feat would have brought the leaders to
their senses then, ,and it is all that will suf-
fee this year. Men may beinduced to vote
right, but they cannot be led TO take
sufficient interest to dabble ia caucuses
and conventions.
