IF IT is ttuo thaF the Democrats won in Massachusetts because the people down there are ignorant o* the Australian ballot they might, with profit to themselves, at least, go less on Ibsen and Browning and more on night schools.

THK subsidence of the cholera scare is an excellent thing, but there should not be any cessations of precautions on that account. With proper care a revival next spring of the scare may be averted, and even if the scare comes we shall be in all the better shape to deal with it if sanitary laws have been complied with.

THE people of Vicuna havo been without gold so long that they do not know it when they see it and prefer to take the paper money with which they are familiar. Their extreme caution recalls the experience of the man who, wagered-that he would, stand all day Jon "London Bridge offering genuine sovereigns in exchange for halfcrovns without any takers. He won the wager. The people were distrustful of the gold pieces offered and refused to accept his advantageous offer.

IT WAS reported recently that President-elect Cloveland "killed 53 snipe at ono shot." In reading this the average fish liar was prone to read it again and again, finally reaching the conclusion that his vocation was gone. Now comes the New York Sun, a most veracious chronicler, and explains that "p'1 should be substituted for "h" in the foregoiug report, and that then it would read "killed 53 snipe at one spot." The explanation is received with thanksgiving and praise, for we -••had begun to think what Hard these mortals have become.

ARRESTS for offenses and vices are undoubtedly increasing but in proportion to our population crimes and offenses are increasing. Thousands of arrests for oreaks of the peace take place in our cities where the same offense would hardly be noticed in the country. Thus, in Massachusetts, in 1830, 3,000 persons were ar" rested for drunkenness, and in 1835, 18,000 were arrested for the same offeuse. But in the twenty-five years between 1860 and 1885 the crimes against persons and property decreased 44 per cent, though the commitments for vice had greatly increased. Police strictness has increased, but crime has steadily decreased. There were not six times as many drunken people in 1885 as in 1850, but it was six time3 as dan. gerous to the drunken man to be seen in the streets of our cities.

IT is a commou remark that one white mau is equal to ton African natives in battle. This is probably true if the natives are armed only with their own weapons but itisnot true if they have guns and know how to use them, and it is still. further from true when the natives, Dabomeyaus, for instance, are superior to most African peoples in intelligence and courage. Col. Dodds had only 4,000 soldiers, mostly well trained natives of Senegal, to oppose to 12,0'K0 Dahomeyans. His force was not a man too many, and he wailed for reeu'foreements before he undertook the-last battles atCannaand Abomey His strong point was his artillery) without which ho would have been only on even terms with tlie enemy. His total loss in killed and wounded was about one-twelfth of his entire force, which was very large eousid" ering that he was fighting with a semi-barbarous foe.

CAI'T. LUGAno has found a fresh reason for connecting Central Afii?a with the civilized world, He says that last sprilig there was an abnormal rainfall in the Victoria Nvaa a region. The great lake rose six feet above its ordinary level, anu uli the rivers were swollen high above their banks. If thero had been telographic communication with the coast he could have warned Egypt to look out for trouble. Her high Nile with i*£ fructifying silt comes usually rom the Abyssinian mountains throu the Atbara tributary. The tail of the year is not the time for the flood.nnu S&y.pt was all unprepared for. the a. proaehiug dauger when it burst up on the country in September last. A Hundred thousand men were put to work upon the banks, but they could not prevent the infliction of great damage. Tf'th'o Victoria Nyanssa gion is goiug to treat lower Egypt to surprises ofthis sort it is high Uw t«- minimize its- power for mis* ,ng

A LITTLE EARLY.

A Washington correspondent of tho Chicago Herald says: "President Harrison is a candidate for the nomination for tho Presidency by his party in 1896. Though this news will surprise a good many Republicans, It is true. The information comes in away which leaves no doubt whatever of Its correctness. Within tho last twenty-four hours the President intimated to one of his friends, a Republican Senator, that ho would in all probability stand for the Presidential nomination four years licnce. It is tho purposo of tho Prosident to return to Indianapolis next March and there to practlco law a9 advisory counsel. This will »0t take him into court or engross his time to any groat extent, leaving him free to promoto his political fortunes in every possible way. It is tho President's conviction that he is tho logical candidate in lSiKi, and has of late so expressed himself, and that- ho will be nominated almost without opposition.''

I A Washington dispatch of Jan. 1. says: "It is now fourteen days sineo Mr. Blaine suffered tho reliipso which may of his intimate friends feared would speedily prove fatal. That he has Hvcd tho old year out and witnessed the coining of another year is a surprise to many who havo means of knowing just how ill Mr. Bialno lias been arid also ho\fr slek'he fs to-dav. There aro rumors from time to time that Mr. Bialno

is to bo removed to somo warmer climate Tho fact that Mr. Blaine is not able to sit np seoms to bo taken as evidenco that tho period of his romoval is very remote at least. Sick, as Mr. Blaine is, ho exhibits much of that wonderful will power and nerve that have carried him through moro tnanone crisis. In these latter days he exhibits less of the despondency over bis physical condition than which characterized him when he was much stronger than he is to-day. In the presence of his family he tries to bo cheerful and hopeful of the future."

AMATBL'K TRAGEDY-

Watch-Night Fatality at San Francisco.

"h« T.euiiini l.nily Slitba the Author ol I A A a an Amateur I'crforinaiice. Kiiis

Tin? old year was closed at San Francisco by a ?ad tragedy iu which Sidney. McCoy, a young lawyer, lost his life. A party of aliout lifty had assemblod at McCoy's house to watch the old year out and tho new year in. 'J'lie feature of tho evening's eutertainnient was tho production of a short play, written by McCoy and performed by amateurs. Tho plot was tho betrayal of

II.

hand of Russian nihilists by

one of th.eir number. The nihilists discovered their traitor and condemned him to death. They iktclde by lot who shall perform tho execution, aud tho number fell tu the oharactcr portrayed by McCoy, Miss King playing the part of the traitor. She is given tho choice of boing killed or stabbing herself,

nil chooses tho latter

alternative. Mr. McCoy handed her a stout dagger, which had been In tho family for many years. In the play, the girl, instead of killing harself, was to stab lu-.r executioner, and as Miss King received tho knife she reached forward lo tone!) McCoy on the breast with it. At the samo lustant McCoy started toward the girl, when she stumbled, and falling forward with the dagger in her hand, drove It through McCoy's heart. McCoy showed wonderful presence of mind. He walked into the next room and asked for a doctor and then fell dead.

The girl.knew thero had been an accl~ dent of some kind, but did not know McCoy was killed. Sho was taken home, aud afterward on the advice of her friends gave herself up to tho polico. Sho was taken to tho city prison at 3 o'clock in the morning, and when she entered tho prison fainted, and has sinco remained unconscious. McCoy's two brothers socured her release by giving bonds for ?I0,U00 for her appearance. Tho girl was then taken homo, and is in a critical condition.

That accident-is explained by tho fact that recently Miss King suffered from a sprained ankle and she had been using crutches to walk with, but had laid them asido to practlco the part In tho play. As she mado a motion to stab McCoy sho rested her weight on tho weak foot. It gave way and she fell forward.

Enough human hair to make a pincushion was laid on Justice Goetting's desk, in the Lee Avenue Court, Williamsburg. It had been pulled from the heads of Mrs. Rose Joyce and Maria Anderson, aud Mrs. Maggie Shea, of No. GU North Eighth street. The women had beeu fight ing. Their cases were adjourned for a future.hearing.
