There is still poison. A little prussic
acid and the bother is all over"
Excellent" said Mr.. Blake. "If you
know the right dose you die almost i'm
mediately; but you've got an awful mo-
nent. If you don't know the right dose
you have a very bad time. You will be
found with your hands violently
clenche,I your eyes glistening and your
pupils dilated, and you will shrek just
before your death. Unpleasant, isn't
it?"
"Well," said streuth, "there are other
poisons-"
"All are open to objections. Choral
may kill you comfortably, or make you
sick. Other anaesthetics may lead to
your being discovered while in state
of Inconsistencies, but not dead, and
the treatment they give you then is
not pretty. Many quick poisons are
painful, very painful, and in any case
you leave your body about after. So
untidy-such q want of neatness!
Every suicide is anxious to wipe him
self right out, to get away from public
attention. II he leaves that body about
after, people sit on it and say that
he was temporarily insane, and one
of the jury is rude to the coroner, and
the coroner is severe to one of the
jury, and the whole thing gets into the
papers, and the family is disgraced,
and everybody feels that the death was
grossly inartistic."
~ don't know" said Streuth, 'if you
imagine that by telling me these
things you can deter me from the end
which 1 have in view. If so, pray do
not waste your time and mine any fur
ther."
81 had no such idea," said Mr.. Blake.
"All 1 wish to do is to give you a
chance of committing suicide in the
best possible way. No pain, no scan
dal, no untidy body lying about after
wards. A simple, mysterious disap-
pearance, your own self-respect saved,
and the feelings of your family spared"
"WeI," said Streuth, "what is t?"
Fire, plain fire, that is all. Near
Weybridge there is certain furnace
which is kept going day and night. It's
heat Is enormous. The very moment
you go into it you are dead. Half an
hour afterwards nothing of you Is left
that is recognizable as ever having been
human. I will give you directions and
admission card in exchange for your
cheque for five pounds as soon as that
cheque has been cleared"
Streuth pulled five sovereigns from
his pocket and put them on the table.
1T will take the directions and card
of admission now"
Certainly" said Blake; "this little
plan makes your way clear from Wey-
bridge Station. 1t iB six or seven miles,
and you will have to walk 1t. Cabs can
be tracked"
81 quite see that" said Streuth.
For similar reasons you must not
inquire your way. You cannot miss
it; the plan is on large scale and every
possible landmark is indicated. When
YOU reach the furnace (Which Is sup
posed to be used in connection with
some brickworks) you will find deaf
mute as night porter In charge. Hand
him the ticket and he will show you by
signs what to do"
Streuth took the ticket and plan,
shook hands and went out.

An IMPORTANT OPINION.

Senator John 7. Morgan gave to the
Press at Selma, Alabama, on the lith
of July his views about the political
situation regarding the newly acquired
territories. He said:
The Congress that assemblies in De-
cember will, in providing for the gov
eminent of our new possessions, have
to modify the tariff, which will ma
terially strengthen the Democratic po-
sition. Sugar will give You issue
enough. We can no more place a tax
on sugar from Porto Rico, Hawaii, and
the Philippines than we can from
Louisiana.
Then in providing for the govern
ment of the islands, will come the ar
ranging of a financial system. Silver
has been the only money there, there
fore the RECOMMENDATION of silver will
be again demanded by the Democrats.
II we can't get free coinage we will
say give us five hundred or thousand

is concerned, it is sound doctrine

We ask Congress to bless us wisl

to blessing other people, We believe
that the line should be strictly drawn
against them. Senator Morgan is on,

won't become too friendly toward
other people.

MOVING TO DlSBAR THE At
1ORNEN- GENERAL.

This case, which will be celebrated
in our Jurisprudence, has been de-
cided by the Supreme Court, as the
majority of lawyers knew 1t would be-
by dismissal of the case. The state
ment of the case carried with it the
conviction that Mr.. Cooper was, as At
torney-General, doing an official duty
and he could be reached only by i'm
parchment as the Constitution pro-
yides. There may be a we'll grounded
suspicion that the motion for disbar-
ment was made by the complainant,
with knowledge that the motion, would
be denied but that it would give him
an opportunity TO hold up Mr.. Cooper
TO the "Scorn of Mankind" or OF get
ting even" with him, by public denun-
citation before a court.
The complainant had, as Il govern
ment prosecutor, been restricted by Mr..
Cooper, his superior officer, in arrang-
ing the machinery OF trial before the
Police Court but there had been no
Interference in the substance OF the
trial and the prisoner was promptly

complainant felt that the social air
had been polluted by the offensive

Mr.. Cooper had left exposed like a dead

committed an act which was, in effect

as a warning against piracy.
The complainant, with the assistance
Of able counsel, has discharged his
duty. The Scorn Of Mankind was cor
daily invited to fix his fierce gaze upon
the Attorney-General, during a public
trial of the case. and the court was
asked to gibbet high the hardened
wretch who had raised the mischief
with one of the precious Palladiums.
But the Supreme Court says It has
no constitutional power to prevent or
punish the Attorney ravages
among the rights Of the people; that
the high court of Impeachment alone
can reach him. The court says that
1t Is not quite clear what the COM
plainant was driving at. In the pro-
ceedings because It is so apparent that
Mr.. Cooper was acting as Attorney
General, and his official conduct cannot
be reviewed by the court.
When the court so decides. it makes
1t uphill work to invoke the fierce gaze
OF the Scorn OF Mankind. Mr.. Cooper
places over the flashing eyes Of Scorn,
the goggles of the verdict which the
court has given him, and the perplex-
ed laymen lose the fun of seeing some
one roasted.
The proceedings arose out of a neg
lect of duty by the Attorney-General.
II Is the unwritten law that superior
officers shall protect and defend their
inferior officers while they are dis
charging their duties. But this should
not be done without discrimination. In
this case, the Finance or the Law De-

amined the evidence upon which the
tax collector was charged with assault.
II it clearly showed that the collector
was guilty, the Departments, both

to assist him. II the evidence discios-

titled to be defended by his superior

ALASKA BOUNDARY.

If the dispute between the United
States and Great Britain regarding the
Alaska boundary had taken place
twenty years ago. the air would have
been full of war cries, the blood would
have been up on both sides, and wal
preparation have been made on an ex-
tensive scale. The delicate situation
today is not realized.
The vast territory of the British
east of the Alaska shore line is in
terror land. The Americans claim the
entire shore front, and refuse to let the
British have any outlet whatever to
the sea. 1t is the case of a man who
has a long strip along the highway
and refuses to let his neighbor, who
owns an enormous tract of land in the
rear OF it, have any right of way to
the highway. Among private persons
the State steps in and compels a right
| OF way to be given. Among sovereign
States only the war power can secure
It. Great Britain insists on an open
ing to the ocean of her immense ter
ritory, and wishes to leave the case to
arbitration. The United States says
I'VE will not arbitrate because we
have exclusive right to the shore
What an individual would be forced to
