NEW YORK, March 23.-One Of the
most interesting occurrences in this city,
probably the one of the greatest I'M
portance, has been the surprisingly sue
cessful demonstrations of Mr.. hutchinson
at the New York Academy OF Medlclne.
Political disturbances, mayoralty nshts'
nprisnes against vice, etc, etc., are
important events, but not to be compar-
ed with a great scientific discovery. How
many elections resulting in the election
of a President of the United States,
elections which have interested millions
of men and women have rlyaled IN I'M
portance the inventions of ArkWriSht,
Fulton and Edison and the discoveries
of Franklin and Newton?
In our hurly-burly existence we are IN
clined to measure the deed by the noise
that attended it. The greatest deed IS
that which confers on suffering human
ity the greatest blessing. And II reports
sneak truly one has been accomplished
nv Mr.. Hutrhison. He has made the
deaf hear.
THE DEAF HEAR.
Mr.. Hutchison is an electrician and has
invented an electrical contrivance to
stimulate hearing. He does not clam TOT
it curative qualities. He stated that ne
had discovered that after it had been used
the subject continued to ENJOY Epsteet
hearing but the reason for this he did
not pretend to understand. The company
before whom the experiments were tired
consisted Of the leading specialists in the
city The demonstrations created the
greatest enthusiasm. And all the more
SO because the physicians brought with
them subjects they regarded as nope
less"
3 Some OF these subjects were deaf mutes
deaf from the moment of birth. me SEN
sations of sound surprised and astonlshed
them. Imagine the delight of young
lady who had never heard a note OF mu-
sic suddenly conscious Of a melody on
violin and of the human voice. Picture
the pleasure of the same young lady
when hearing words spoken was able TO
articulate sounds. Given as it were IN
one moment the power to hear and the
mower to speak! And, better still, no loss
in mower one honr after the removal OF
contriyance. Subject ester subject was
exnerimented upon with the same happy
result to the delight of the. patients and
stbe amazment of the aurists. The pos.
sibility- of relieving the infirmity of the
deaf mute is now the hope Of the pro-
fassional fraternity, and to that end. now
the way has been pointed out. their
energies are to be directed. r. success

more Again, the New York man is pop
ular in all the Southern States; far more
so than Mr. German, although he may be
said to belong to that section. The tact
is Mr.. German is under the suspicion of
being too closely identified with many of
the great corporate interest, railroads,
banking manufacturing, and insurance
companies. 1t may be that the charge
is unfounded, but it exists, and it will not
be easy TO eradicate the impression
AS political managers both may be
said to be without Iieers either IN their
own party or even among Republicans. In
this respect they are evenly Matched
Both are past grand masters in politics.
in the art of managing men, which IS the
secret of success in business as well as IN
political campaigning. 1t would be hard
TO determine which of them has the pre-
eminence in this respect.
BRYAN MAY RUN.
BRYAN must not be counted out of the
race, notwithstanding his two disastrous
campaigns His mold on the extreme rad
ical element in the party is still strong
and what is left of the P@pulist party will
in all probability be willing to accept him
once more. Towne is looked upon as

cere friendship, personal and political, en-
lists between the two men, and unques-
tionably each viii support the other, as
the situation may demand. What that
situation will be. no one can now fore
cast. If the movement that is on foot
in the Democratic party to restore what
are called Its ancient principles both
BRYAN and Towne will be in a hopeless
minority in the next national convention,
and utterly impotent so far as debating
what the future policy of the party shall
be. Should this movement fail to pro-
duce the results anticipated, the outlook
before Democracy for years to come will
be nigh hopeless from a, national point Of
view. It may hold power in spots, but so
far as the nation at large is concerned, it
will be in Mr.. Cleveland's famous condi-
ton of '.innocuouS desuetude. Such at
least is the prevalent opinion here as re-
fiected by the keenest observers from all
parts of the Union.

lated to other than TO Irish movements or
affairs
These observations are prompted by the
comments of some London journals upon
speeches made in New York and Chicago
within the past few days, al which the
United Irish League was denounced, and
the term TRAITORS" applied to the Irish
Parliamentary Party by one or two speak
ers from Ireland Similar expressions
would not be thought worth cabling MO
Europe if they related to American, Eng
Hsh, French or German politics. Nor, I
may add, would the press OF London pub
fish them if the orators in question had
chosen to attack the English rulers Of
Ireland rather than men like Messrs Dill
lon, Redmond and O1Brien, who have a
claim to speak for their country which
would be considered ridiculous to deny at
home, and ought not. therefore, TO be
called in question two or three thousand
miles away.
SECTIONAL DIFFERENCES.
1t is neither wise nor patriotic to carry
these worse than useless sectional differ
ences across the Atlantic. They can only
tend TO discourage lreland's friends and
TO give a keen satisfaction to her oppo-
nents. It is also waste Of practical
energy: a misapplication of time and labor
which might be employed with better re-
suits in attacking, or preparing to attack,

"BlINkER" MURPHY'S LATEST.

Mr.. "Blinker" Murphy, who
writes some very clever things for
the San Francisco Examiner oc-
casionally, gets off the following
bit of witticism at the expense of
the Southern Pacific Company and
Nevada's new State Board of Asses
sors, recently in session at Carson:
The Espee has got to stay in
politics. Hays tried the goody-
goody business over in Nevada,
and you see how it worked. Don't
you know what happened over
there? Well, you don't know
nothing. ..-
well, I'll tell you what happen
ed over in Nevada. You see, when
our main finger over there left the
stage, me and Herrin goes to Hays
and says to him: "A good man
has gone. Somebody ought to go
over to Carson and look after them
fourteen Assessors and see they
don't get into the hands of anar-
chists and socialists and Frank
Newlands and that kind of cattle.
"'When was a-running a rail-
road in Manitoba, says the Presi-
dent, my company didn't need no
body to look after the Legislatures
and Assessors. Pm a-going to in
augurate the Canadian system over
here. Well trust the representa-
tives of the people to do what's
right
And what happened? Why
them fourteen Assessors socked it
to us between the eyes. They have
raised the Seepee from ten million
to twenty million, and if we make
kick they'll chain our car wheels
to the tracks"

IT is reported that Cables, the
most notorious of Filipino Gen
erals, will soon surrender. This
man is head-hunter and an all
around renegade, and it would be
much better if he were killed out
right. If he surrenders he ought
to be imprisoned for life if he is
not hung. American experience
with him has been to the effect
that there is not humane trait in
him and that he has been the
cause of many brutal butcheries of

NEVADA At BUFFALO.

From the Buffalo Express the
following clippings are taken,
showing that Nevada, as usual, is
ahead in exposition matters, and
showing the energy of Nevada's
representative:
Probably the most interesting
portion of the grounds these days
are the Mines and Horticulture
buildings, where the work of ex-
hibit installation is going on at a
rate the exposition officials hope
will prove a live example to other
exhibitors. Perhaps the real rea-
son for the promptness is that most
of the exhibitors now installing in
the Mines and Horticulture build
ing are Westerners, who, with
their accustomed energy and push
are not content to catch the boat
just as it is leaving the dock. Ne
vada, California and Oregon all
have started the installation of
their mineral exhibits, and thus
far Nevada is ahead in the race.
In the Mines building Commits
sioner Yerington of Nevada yester-
day unpacked a number of beauti-
full specimens of gold and silver
ore, one curious and interesting
feature of which is a clump of sill
yer ore which nature has fashion
ed in the shape of small tree.
Then there is number of speci-
mems of crystals and copper quartz,
all polished to a high degree to en-
nance their brilliancy.

In THE event of war between
Great Britain and France the first
and most important part of the
struggle would be for the COM
mand of the sea, says writer in
Nineteenth Century. Should Great
Britain succeed in retaining the
command of the sea France would
thereby be reduced to condition
of impotence so far as offensive
operations are concerned and
would sooner or later be obliged to
submit to the will of her rival, al
though, it is true, the war might
last for a long time. If, on the
other hand, France should sue
coed in wrestling from Great Brit
ain the command of the sea and in
keeping it Great Britain would be
so much more helpless and impo-
tent than France in similar plight
would be that the war would ter
inmate quickly.
In a word, France, even without
the command of the sea or any
thing approaching to it, remains
capable of prolonged resistance,
firstly, because she is a self-sup-
porting country; secondly, because
the French national sentiment and
strength are already concentrated
within her borders, and, thirdly,
because she stands among the best
equipped of the military powers
while Great Britain, deprived Of
the command of the sea, would
collapse with relative rapidity
firstly, because she is in no sense
self-supporting country; second
ly, because her national sentiment
and strength are scattered over the
world and cannot be concentrated
save by way of the sea, and third
ly, because she is not a military
power, according to the STANDARD
set up by Germany, France, Rus
STA and Austria Hungary.

There is yet no authoritative announce
ment that the President will call an ex.
ira session of Congress, though he is re-
ported TO have intimsted In recent con,
versations with congressman that he
would be likely to 90 SO, as soon as the
CUBAN constitution Is received.
WhiIs it would seem TO be clear,
as Senator PlAtt says, that Congress has
nothing to do with the Cuban oonstltu-
tion it would seem to be for that body TO
determine when our occupation of the
island should come to hn end. The reso-
luton declaring our puTposs to leave
Cuba 20 the control OF Its own people as
soon as its pscincation was accomplished,
originated in Congress, and 10 would
seem to be the duty OF Congress to inter
pret it and determine when its conditions
are fulfilled Possibly the President
would be justified in taking this Tespon
sibiIity upon himself, but II he prefers
that Congress should share It and ask S
it to, nobody can justly say that he
is trying to shirk anything that really
