Hanoino at Sea.

The assertion that there is nothing
new under the sun has again been
disproved For unnumbered centur-
les executions have taken place on
land and sea, legal and illegal, but
it is doubtful if a community ever
before deliberately took a prisoner
under sentence of death out to sea
to hang him in order to prevent the
decree of the law from being over
ridden by the mob, as has been done
in Maryland Public feeling against
negro culprit there ran so high
that it was openly asserted he would
never be allowed the honor of hang
ing, but must instead be burned to
death. This manner of his taking off
was the only point upon which the
law and the mob differed. To have
their way, however the stubborn of
ficers of the law took gallows and a
coffin with them on board a steamer
which was to convey the prisoner to
the county where he belonged, but its
course has been so delayed that the
execution can take place as soon as
the steamers prov enters the wa
tiers of that county, and the mob ON
the land will be 'at sea-" too. II
this method finds favor in the South
there may yet be a call there for
the observation trains employed for

Platform Promises.

The Illinois Republican convention,
old standpatter Speaker Cannon. adopt
ed tariff plank in their platform be-
ginning with stump speech that eulo-
gizes the present high tariff as the
cause OF prosperity. 1t does not ex-
plain, however. why this tariff did not
continue its beneficent work so as TO
prevent the panic or the present bust
ness depression. The tariff plank bears
the earmarks of the sandpatters of the
Protective Tariff League tempered by
the fear OF Payne and Dalzell that
tariff revision Is coming and the only
hope for continued protection u te>
trusts Is to try TO so mode1ate the de-
mands that the voters can again be
fooled into support OF the Republican
standpatters and their lilies, the tariff
protected trusts.
1t is very interesting TO gee the stand
patters now so anxious-on paper-for
tariff revision. Uncle Joe's platform
tells US the secret that The benefits
conferred by the present tariff have
produced an industrial situation that
suggests the possibility OF securing by
the revision OF the tariff additional
benefits for the people Of the United
States through a wise continuance OF
the policy Of protection" or course.
there Is a possibility" that RepubIi-
can revision OF the tariff might Innre
to the benefit OF the people, but il Is
very improbable. But this Republican
platform admits that the tariff has
not given the people a squire deal for
cit is now apparent that in order to
maintain the scientific accuracy OF the
tariff. remove inequalities and prevent
Injustice. some new schedules must BE-
added TO the law. some Of the present
rates must be lowered and some must
be repealed altogether"
Whether the people or the protected
interests would benefit by such a re-
vision win perhaps never be known.
for It would be evident folly for the
people b. intrust tariff reform to the
Republican party which has notorious

In a French Arsen u.

A curious state Of affairs exists in
the naval arsenal at Toulon. Nearly
all the workmen contrive to add to
their salaries by exercising another
trade during their leisure hours Some
earn extra money as hotel carpet
heaters; others distribute prospect
uses and hand bills, or act as parcel
carriers for local shopkeepers. One
man complained recently in all seri-
business that he was so overworked at
the arsenal that he had no time to
exercise his profession of masseur
Indeed, most of the men boast OF
working as little as possible in the
arsenal yards, in order to be fresher
for their own private engagements in
the evenings.
To cap all this, a number of ar
senal hands actually carry on their
supplementary trades in the yards.
1t appears that there are amateur
shoemakers, watchmakers, BARRIERS,
ETC., who carry on thriving and
lucrative business among their COM
rades. In fact, things have come to
such a pass that the Toulon BARRIERS
have taken the initiative in petition
ing the naval authorities to put a
stop to the unfair competition to
which they are subjected.
Commenting on the matter, the
"Figan" remarks that these facts
go far to explain the newness of
French naval construction-Par COR

That there is an actual identity be-

broso, but this extreme view is now COM
batted in a new book by DIR. Joseph
Grasset on 1.-THE SemI-I Insane and the
Semi-responsible," translated by DIR. Jel-
life of New York. DIR. Grasset finds
that intellectual superiors frequently pos
sess psychic defects which are sometimes
very marked, and be believes that while
their intellect and their nervous affection
are connected they are not as cause and

many people hare tie disease who do not

is that '.the common trunk which unites
superiority and neurosis is a tempera-
