The attempt is made to use the act of the two colored men who killed three persons and Bold their bodies to a Cincinnati medical college, as an offset for the political murders in the south. If our Democratic friends can show that at a mass meeting of the citizens of Hamilton county the deed was ap plauded and that at a subsequent election the murderers were placed in office, then there may be a comparison. This style of argument simply amounts to a confession that these murders do occur in the south and that horrible crimes are also committed in the norih We admit that this is true but the point is that in the south the killing is for political reasons and communities in which the murders are committed uphold and applaud the crimes.

The Rev. John Snyder, a St. Louis clergyman, procured an introduction to Roscoe Conkling, and subsequently published what he asserted was a correct report of the conversation, which was about political matters. The interview was conducted without Mr. Conkling being aware that it was other than a private conversation. Mr. Conkling now denies the accuracy of the report that appeared in the Globe-Democrat. The clergyman is defending himself, and says he has a horror of the custom of chasing public men into their private life and making public private conversations. He also intimates that the question of veracity raised .vill not reflect upon himself. The Rev. John Snyder, who has been a bitter denouncer of journalists, has been guilty of the most disgraceful act in journalism, that of violating confidence, and he would do well if he subsides from public view.

There has been nothing half as funny since Aremus Ward lectured in London as the alarming tension on the public mind of England caused by the controversy over the genuineness of Barnum's so-called sacred white elephant. Ward, in concluding one of his humorous lectures to an audience that never saw the point to any of his jokes, stepped to the front of the platform and invited his hearers to call on him at his lodgings on the following morning, promising a full explanation of the lecture. In the morning, so the Btory goes, many thick-headed Englishmen

responded

to the invitation. All

the learned scientists of London, the press, the pulpit and the people are engaged in a heated controversy over that elephant, Mr. Barnum's agent standing by and occasionally inciting further qarreling when there are indications that the dispute is lagging and showing signs of coming to an end. Barnum is called a "mendacious imposter," "an arrant fraud," etc., etc., and threatened with the loss of the respect of the English people. How the benign countenanco of the old showman must glow with pride and pleasure as he reads the English newspapers, which are almost literally devoted to him. We share in his pride, as we share in the glory of any illustrious American. Everyone has admired Barnum as the prince of humbugs, and now in his declining years, when he caps the climax by so thoroughly humbugging the whole of the English nation, we anticipate with pleasure the profit he will reap therefrom during the coming season. It is the greatest advertising scheme of all the many successful ones the showman of showmen has conducted. We

The capture of both national conventions is a big stroke of policy by Chicago and will result in real profit in many ways that are not thoughtof in'a hasty consideration of the benefits that accrue to a city through the holding of a convention. It is getting to be a custom with many persons throughout the country to attend the great conventions not for the purpose of taking part in the scheming that is pait of the proceedings, but merely as a vacation from business, a desire to see the leading men of the political parties, and have a "high old time.' The custom has grown partly because of the increased railroad facilities which make a trip of many hundred miles a pleasant experience of twentyfour hours. The conventions also prove an attraction to the Sporting element, and through many causes the number in attendance is far up in the thousands. It is safe to say that an average of one hundred thousand per sonB will pass one day in Chicago at each of the conventions that is that counting the thousands who will remain from three days to a week, or perhaps longer, with the thousands from the adjacent country who will spend at least a portion of one day the average will be one hundred thousand men, one day in the city. The visitor to a national convention will pay out more money than on any other occasion and it is a fair estimate to put tbe amount at $10 for each visitor or in all for both conventions $2,000,000. Of course the hotels, restaurants and saloons get a, large proportion of this, but the retail merchants in a large city always prosper from the presence of many strangers. In the space of three weeks, therefore, Chicago will have brought into the city—$2,000,000 which otherwise would not have reached her people. Of this amount fully one quarter will be clear gain, for who ever heard of a guest at a hotel at such a time receiving his money's worth or a man at the bar getting the due proportion and and quality of red liquor for fifteen cents.

London Truth. I once came across an aged physician at New London, in the United States. I asked him why he lived theie.

LITTLE NEED FOR CHANGE.

Sanator Sabln's Views on tho Present Political Condition of the Conntry. Special to Chicago Daily News.

WASHINGTON, D. C., February 24.— Senator Sabin, chairman ot the na tional Republican committee, said today "In the spring elections in every part of the country I find more political straws blowing in Republican di' reetions than Democratic, all of which show that there is an under-current of doubt in the public mind about the safety of intrusting to the Democtatic party in its present shape the administration of the affairs of this government. believe that the people of the great enterprising and intelligent states of the north will not jeopardize the existing relations and conditions of the business and economic interests of the country by any radical change of policy. You may say all you please about platforms and principles, but after all the people as a rule know what is for their own good individually and collectively, and the political party that approaches their own notions is the one which they will sustain. That same indisposition to make a change might be made an argument in favor of the nomination of President Arthur. In the old days, when the country was sparsely populated and material developments small, the policy of the government was of little importance and the communistic tendencies of the Democratic party could hardly be said endanger the substantial interests the people. But in our present attitude as a nation with a strong centralized power directed toward the development of trade, the promotion of enterprise, the encouragement of the facilities of internal traffic, and the maintenance of a responsible financial system a fact, as a nation of 50,000,000, instead of a league of 4,000,000 people, the relations of the affairs of government to the people are more serious. In this view people might be adverse to a change, and in the rivalries of candidates his nomination might be reached by way of an easy solutian to a knotty problem. He has not been a brilliant president. In fact you might almost say that he has done nothing to characterize his management of the affairs of the executive office. Yet sometimes it is abetter exer

TRAGEDIES OP THE SANCTUM.

Closing Scenes in tbe Lit® of Some New York Editors*

John Swinton writes to his paper: There has been widespread grief among the newspaper men of New York over the tragical ending, a few days ago, of the life of John B. Wood, familiarly known as Doc Wood, the "Great American Condenser" of the Sun, by shock and exposure through falling into the ice-bound river at midnight.

A„ SEARCH FOR A CRIPPIiED DOG.

Joined in by 100 People at Tremont At ter the Death of the Dog's Master. New York Bun.

A shabbily dressed man, who carried a bundle loosely wrapped in a newspaper, and was followed- by a small white dog that barked playfully as it snapped at his heels, walked along the west track of the Harlem railroad toward Williamsbridge at a few minutes before 8 o'clock yesterday morning. At the cuive a few hundred feet south of the station the man stepped to the east track to avoid a south-bound train that he saw coming. The dog ran ahead of him, and barked at the train as it passed.

The noise of the train drowned the noise made by rapid transit train 24, north bound on the east track. The engine struck the man and killed him. It also struck the dog and broke his leg. When the train was stopped the dog, with one of its fore paws hanging disabled, stood whining over the dead man. At first it flew savagely at those who tried to remove the body, but finally, appearing to understand that their intentions were friendly, caught the coat collar of the dead man end tried to move him.

The body was lifted on a shutter and carried to the Tremont station. The dog followed a short distance,and then disappeared. All who witnessed the scene, and others who were told of it, were anxiou3 to fiud the dog and care for its injured leg. A search was instituted lor it by over one hundred peo pie, including policemen, and kept up last night, but without success.

A BATTLE WITH AN ALLIGATOR

Trapper Carroll's Straggle For Life on an Alabama River. Abbeville, Ala., Special.

Robert Carroll, a trapper and hunter, while trapping for otters on West Choctawpauihie river, in this state, had a terrible fight with an alligator last week.

Seeing the water agitated in a hole near the river, and supposing that otters were fishing therein, he mounted a pole on a tussock just above the water's edge. His steel traps were in a sack suspended from his neck. His only weapon was his hatchet. He sat on the pole, with amass of vines at his back. He held his weapon ready to strike an otter, should one arise.

Soon he saw a young alligator near him. He caught it up and it uttered a cry. In an instant there was a terrible splash of water, and a huge alligator, with distended mouth and glittering teeth, rushed for him. With little hope of escape he fell back upon the vines, and as he did so kicked the pole from under his feet.

The terrible jaws closed on the pole and crushed it. Carrol tried to interpose the traps, but a vine had caught them and partly held him down. Seizing his hatchet he struck into the open mouth of his assailant. He closed on the weapon, and with great difficulty he saved the hatchet. Getting free from his traps, he dealt the allegator a fatal blow on the skull as it made the next charge.

He secured the skin and suck teeth as had not been destroyed in the fight. The length of the allegator was about nine ana a half feet The hole was its den. Alligators rarely attack human beings.

The tragedy of his death brings to my mind a score of other tragedies of the sanctum that have cast a lurid light over the years of my career upon the press of New York. I will tell of a few of the more notable of them, without going far back in my memory.

The first editor of the New York World, which was started as an orthodox religious paper, was Mr. Spaulding, a grave, facitorn man of large frame and powerful intellect. When the World fell into financial Btraits and threw religion overboard, about 1863, Mr. Spaulding took a place on the editorial staff of the Times, under Henry J. Raymond, whose first assistantI then was and there he showed himself to be the boldest master of political invective ever known on the American press. To recruit his health he made a voyage to New Orleans, but on an excursion up the Mississippi his boat met with ill luck, and he was cast on a deserted bank of land where he almost starved to death. The first knew of hie return toNew York wasat a very late hour one night when, being on duty in the editorial quarters of the Times, a "whistle up the pipe" from the publication office, .and a message that Mr. Spaulding had muttered my name, hurried me down stairs. 1 found him prostrate on his back upon the stone flooring, evidently struck by paralysis, and entirely unconscious. In a few moments he caught my voice, and began stammering out Latin words, disjointed quotations from Yirgil, Horace, and his other favorite authors, occasionally pressing his head with his hands, and breaking into a sort of wild laugh. It was after midnight by the city hall clock when I left his side, hastened over to the old New York hospital, then in Broadway, rang up the young doctor in charge, who agreed to take him in, returned to the Times with a stretcher,called down four compositors, who lifted the prostrate man from the floor, and accompanied them back to the hospital, where I saw him placed safely upon a cot under a doctor's charge. It was half an hour of the time for going to press when I got back to the editor's sanctum, and, if the editorial columns of next day's Times were short or otherwise imperfect, tbe reason is now for the first time told. Though Mr. Spaulding was over 50 years old, he had been married but few months before, and in the morning I telegraphed to his young wife, then in one of the towns up the Hudson river, who appeared at the hospital in a very few hours. She tended him devotedly during the days in which he could not be removed from the cot, and then had him taken to her father's country home, where he soon afterward bowed his head in death. In this tragical way ended the life of the first editor of the New York World, a man of great soul and honest purpose.

There seems to be no very earnest purpose of doing anything for Alaska in congress. That vast possession, which cost our government $7,200,000, has actually paid a revenue of $3,609,107 into the treasury, the cost of collecting that amount having been about

A company has been formed in this city, with a capital of $250,000, for the purpose of building at Coney Island a monster wooden elephant, 150 feet in length, 122 feet in height, and 168 feet in circumference. The neck will be 10 feet long, with a circumference of 108 feet the legs 40 feet in length, with a circumference of 60 feet the ears 34 feet long and 20 feet wide will weigh 4,000 pounds the trunk 52 feet long and tapering from a diameter of 14 feet to 3 feet 4 inches, and the tasks 32} feet. The eyes of the monster will he 4 feet in diameter. A telescope will be placed in the center of the eye, through which the harbor and the distant headlands can be seen. The howdah on the back will be 32 feet square and 36 feet in height. The interior of the beast will be divided into rooms of various sizes. The main hall will have a length of 80 feet and a width of 32 feet. On the ground floor there will be a gallery 250 feet in length, upon which will open thirteen roomB. The structure will be of wood, iron, and tin, and will be ready for public inspection June 15. 9"i"» ,S ''"t Electric Light Ballet. Cincinnati Week.

glass only, and givee them all the appearance of the stone they are intended to imitate. The lamp is fed from a small battery, which is carried about the person. It is composed of three pairs of zinc carbon plates (two carbons to each zinc), or a larger number, according to the current required. These plates dip in a saturated solution of bichromate of potash, which is contained in an ebonite cell with three compartments. The plates are fitted into a cover, which is kept securely down on the top of the cell by two bands of India rubber passed around the whole. Finally, the battery is incased in two sheets of gutta percha, so as to prevent any leakage. A miniature switch is carried in the pocket or elsewhere, within reach, to which the battery and lamp wires are connected. The pressure of a finger on the arm of this switch makes or breaks communication with the lamp. The battery weighs (#ith six plates) three hundred grammes, and will work about thirty minutes with a lamp of from two to three volts. The experiments of M. Trouve were applied to the ballet of the Eden theater, Paris. The effect is said to be indescribably brilliant. Mile. Zucchi is the premiere danseuse at the Eden theater. She is a native of Parma, Italy.
