The campaign In Kentucky has
been formally opened by the can,i-
dates for Gubernatorlal honors AS
sassination Will be the issue. AS we
have said before, 1t is unfortunate.
AZ is not a high plane on which 10
fight a political battle, but it gets
close to the bosoms OF men who de-
precate that method of settling polit-
teal differences. There ought not to
be any sort OF doubt about the result
ana we do not apprehend that there
IS. There Will be an emphatic anti
assassination majority.

IN Rome, tired and hot, found great
difficulty IN getting porter. So she
seized on the duke.

NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA.
His Views on the Precautions Taken
to Prevent His Escape

One of the extracts from Dr. O'Mea-
ra's st. Helena diary In The Century
records Napoleon's views on the pre-
cautions taken to prevent his escape.
He spoke anew about escaping and
said that II he was inclined to try It,
which he was not, there were 95
chances In 100 against his effecting 1t.
But" said he, this Jailer every week
imposes new and yexatious restrictions
upon me, just as IL was I'm a place
where had nothing TO do but to step
into boat and be away. When / was
ut Elba, II was different. 1t Is true
that while one lives there Is chance
of escape. Although ironed and chain
ed down, inclosed in q cell of stone and
every human precaution taken against
a possibility of 1t, still there is n chance
of escape, and the only way to prevent
II is to put me to death.
This is the only sure way. Let him
put me to death. and all uneaslness on
the part of tho European powers, Lord
Castlereagh himself and his govern
ment Will cease. No more expense
then; no more squadrons to watch me
or poor soldiers, fatigued to death with
plckets and guards or harassed with
carrying burdens up those precipices.
l am sure those poor devils have ren-
son to hate me and Wish my death.
They must, however, be conscious that
the fatlguing duties imposed upon
them are unnecessary and vexatlous,
as the sight OF the island must con.
vince every one but n suspicious cog
lione that escape from 1t was nearly
impossible unless. as l have said be.
fore. that while there Is life there Is a
chance, IL attempted.

soon be known In England and will not
procure him any credit there. Those

treated and their opinion OF 1t. The

The Public and Opera.

There Is general opinion that the
stockholders support the opera, and
that the general public may consider
itself highly privileged to be admitted
at all to the sacred precincts. AS a
matter OF fact, If the opera depended
for its existence upon the support of
the stockholders, the doors of the
Metropolitan Opera House would never
be open. The bottom would drop out
Of the whole enterprise. The parquet
and the galleries are the managers
chief reliance. Opera is not social
function; 1t Is a public institution, and
without the publlc's support would col
lapse like a house of eards.-Alnslee' $
