HANDS OFF.
The National League for the Protection of American Institutions, known as the A. P. A., has issued a manifesto on the school question, appealing "to all loval American citizens to co-operate in every possible way in the defense of the American free public school system, upon which the safety of the Republic and prosperity of its citizens so largely depend." This is probably dictated by the agitation among the Roman Catholics of Maryland for a division of the school fund of that State. In this connection it may be proper to say that Cardinal Gibbons has written the New York
Iii-dcpendcnt
and say6 that the
movement at Baltimore was made without his knowledge or consent and that he repudiated it in toto. With Professor Sims, who lectured at Y. M. C. A. hall on Saturday evening, and an A. P. A. speaker, we don't think there is much need of worrying. A large number of Roman Catholics themselves are opposed to such a movement. There need not be any fear that such a proposition can possibly be enacted into law, neither in Maryland nor any other State. The agitation is to be deplored but the Roman Catholics who favor the proposition and have inaugurated the movement, both in 'Maryland and New York, have themselves to blame. They should have been wise enough to know that a counter movement would be the result. To Roman Catholics, Jews, Protestants or any other ecclesiastical body THE JOURNAL would say, hands off the public school system in the United Stales.
ANOTHEB MAKESHIFT PROPOSITION.
That accomplished demagogue and alleged statesman, Daniel W. Yoorhees, after making a three months' fight to secure the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law, has now introduced a bill which virtually re enacts the law which he was so anxious to re peal. The verbiage is different bat the effect of the law will not be different Jrom the Sherman law, except that it is a more dishonest proposition. The bill proposes to coin the seigniorage which is now held as collateral for the redenip tion of notes issued under the Sherman law, and in addit:oa it contemplates the purchase of S2.0C0,000 of silver a most-h after the p.eigniorage shall have been coined. Furthermore, it proposes to retire all paper money and all gold coin under denominations of $10. The proposition is nothing but the trick of a demagogue in which he endeavors to re ingratiate himBelf into the favor of those silver Democrats in Indiana whom he alienated by his servitude for President Cleveland during the special ses Bion.
He evidently thinks that the
siver Democrats of Indiana can be caught with chaff, as he knows or ought to know that the gold monometalist who occupies the Presidential chair would veto it even should it pass both houses of Congress.
SENATOR MoiiBiiiti, the author of the Morrill tariff bill of 18B1, and ucder which this country enjoyed unexampled prosperity for over a ^quarter of a century, in concluding hia speech delivered the other day intthe Senate on tariff protection said: "The excellence and grandeur of the great American example of tariff protection now decorating many cities, towns and thriving homes of industry, everywhere rewarding labor with the highest known wages, tendering a near market for all agricultural products, contributing largely to the wider educational characterof our country and to the rapid extinction of the public debt, is fully comprehended, and our people do not want the further sinister evidence of its exalted national merits, which a contrast with 'a tariff for revenue only' now portends, by a wretched exhibition of its present monuments in ruins."
A HILT, has passed the House without objection and will probably puss the Senate which is one of general interest. It does away with the postal note and ieduces the fees for money orders, so that a money order for $2 EO or less can be obtained for 3 cents, the cost of the postal note. The bill also extends the pmiiegesof issuing money orders to small offices not now enjoying it. The advantage of this change is that a money order affords an absolutely safe method for the transmission of money, while a postal note ia no safer than a bank bill.
THE President's message to Congress on Hawaiin affairs is promised todty, "We shall probably see how he proposed to '"right the great wrong" and how he tailed.
THE hatd of charity should be open, but it should be discriminating.

"He is sure to Ve the laboratory. He either avoids tho placo for weeks, or else he works there from morning' tonight. If you like, we shall drive round together after luncheon."
Certainly." I answered, and the conversation drifted away into other channels.
As we made dur way to the hospital after leaving the Ilolhorn, Stamford gave, me a few more particulars about the gentleman whom 1 proposed to take as a fellow lodger. "You mustn't blame me if you don't get on with him," ho said "1 know nothing more of him than 1 have learned from meeting him occasionally in the laboratory. You proposed this arrangement, so you must not hold mo responsible." "If we don't get on it will be easy to part company," I answered. "It seems to me, Stamford," 1 added, looking hard at my companion, "that yon have some reason for washing your hands of the matter. Is this fellow's temper so formidable, or what is it? Don't be mealy-mouthed about it." "It Is not easy to express the inexpressible," he answered, with a laugh. "Holmes is a little too scientific for my tastes—it approaches to cold-blooded-ness. I could imagine his giving a friend a little pinch of the latest vegetable alkaloid not out of malevolence, you understand, but simply out of a spirit of inquiry In order to have an accurate idea of the effects. To do him justice, 1 think that he would take it himself with the same readiuess. He appears to have a passion for definite and exact knowledge." "Very right, too." "Yes but it may be pushed to excess. When it comes to beating the subjects in the dissecting-rooms with a stick it is certainly taking rather a bizarre shape," "Beating the subjects!'' "Yes, to verify how far bruises may be produced after death. 1 saw liim at it with my own eyes." "And yet you say he is not a medical student?" "No. Heaven knows what the objects of his studies are! But here we are, and you must form your own impressions about him." As he spoke we turned down a narrow lane and passed through a small side door which opened into awing of the great hospital. It was familiar ground to me and I needed no guiding as we ascended the bleak stone staircase and made our way down the long corridor with its vista of whitewashed wall and dun-colored doors. Near the farther end a low. arched passage branched away from it and led to the "hemicul laboratory.
This was a lofty chamber, lined and littered with countless bottles. Broad, low tables were scattered about, which bristled with retorts, test-tubes and little Bunsen lamps, with their blue flickering flames. There was only one student in the room, who was bending, over a distant table absorbed in hitwork At the sound of our steps he glanced round and sprang t-o his feet with a cry of pleasure. i. "I've found it' I've found it!" he shouted to my coixspanion, running toward u= with a testtube in his hand 1 have found a reagent which is precipitated by hffimoglobin, and by nothing else." Had he discovered a gold mine, greater delight could not have shone upon his features. "Dr. Watson—Mr. Sherlock Holmes," said Stamford, introducing us. "How are you?" he said, cordially, griping my hand with a strength for which I should hardly have given him credit. "Y'ou have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." "How on earth did you know that?" I asked, in astonishment. "Never mind," said he, chuckling to himself. "The question now is about haemoglobin. No doubt you see the significance of this discovery of mine?" "It is interesting, chemically, no doubt," 1 answered "but practically
"Why, man, it is the most practical medico-legal discovery for years. Don't you see that it gives us an infallible test for blood-stains? Come

over here, now*:" Me seized me by the coat-sleeve in his eagerness, and drew me ovc to the table at which ho had been working-. "Let us have some fresh blood,"' he said, digging1 a long bodkin into his fhiper. and drawing off the resulting- drop of blood in a chemical pipette. "XO\T, I add this small quantity of blood to a litre of water. You perceive that the resulting- mixture has the appearance of true water. The proportion of blood cannot be more than one in a million. I have no doubt, however, that we shall bo able to obtain the characteristic reaction.'' As he spoke, he threw into the vessel a few white crystals, and then added some drops of a transparent fluid. In an Instant the contents assumed a dull mahogany color, and a brownish dust was precipitated to the bottom of the glass jar. "Ila! ha!" he cried, ciapping his hands, and looking as delighted as a child with a new toy. "What do you think of that?" "It seerns to

"Criminal cases are continually hinging upon that one point. A man is suspected of a crime months perhaps after it has been committed. His linen or clothes are examine', and brownish stains discovered upon 'hem. Are they blood-stnins. or mud-stains, or rust-stains, or fruit-stains, or what are they? That is a question which has puzzled many an expert, and why? Because there was no reliable test. Now we have the Sherlock Holmes test, and there will mi longer be any difficulty."
His eyes fairly glittered as he spoke, and he put his hand over his heart and bowed as if to some applauding crowd conjured up by his imagination. "You are to be congratulated," I remarked, considerably surprised at his enthusiasm. "There was the ease of Yon Bischofif at Frankfort last year. He would certainly have been hung had this test been in existence. Then there was Mason, of Bradford, and the notorious Muller and Lcfevre, of Slontpelier, and Samson, of New Orleans. 1 could name a score of cases in which it would have been decisive." "You seem to be a walking calendar of crime." said Stamford, with a laugh. "You might start a paper on those lines. Call it the I'oliee News of the Bast." "Very interesting reading it might be made, too," remarked Sherlock Holmes, sticking a small piece of plaster over tho prick on his finger. "I have to be careful," he continued, turning to me with a smile, "for I dabble with poisons a good deal." He held out his hand as he spoke, and 1 noticed that it was all mottled over with similar pieces of plaster and discolored with strong acids. "We came here on business," said Stamford, sitting down on a threelegged stool and pushing another one in my direction with his foot. "My friend here wants to take diggings, and as you were complaining that you could get no one to go halves with you, I thought that I had better bring you. together/'_
