General Hazen, the chief of theweather bureau, has returned, and feels invigorated by his trip abroad. If he does not fritter away his time quarreling with his brother officers, he will be able to grind out a great variety of weather tfiis fall and winter.
The president suspended thirty-five postmasters and appointed democrats to fill their places. Give him time, and he may reach Stevenson's recor,d of 300 a day. Still the mugwumps think Cleveland is all right for their ideas of civil service, and the Stevensona only are to blame.
The president insists that he is a demo crat and wants the democrats to win in New York. In other words, all the fine talk he has been making to the nJugwnmps,- who are responsible for putting him in the attitude in which they stand as regards the New York contest, has been insincere. He frequently told them that he could best serve his party by supporting the reform ideas expressed to him by Mugwump Curtis, Mugwump Eaton and other wumps, but now the square issue having been raised he announces himself for Hill, the representative spoilsman and Tweed's'partner.
What will the wumps do now? Up to yesterday they were for Cleveland and against his party, individually and collectively. Will they be forced to part with their last pretense of an excuse for supporting the Buffald reformer?
The resurrection of an old Canadian statute which requires the payment of a heavy fee for each Chinaman sent into Canadian, territory is, to say the least, a very audacious performance on the part of the Canadian authorities.
The United States government has been trying for years to exclude the Chinaman and after treaties with China had been so perfected that it was thought the object had been accomplished it was discovered that the heathen could enter this country at will if they came by the way of British Columbia or sailed from Hong Kong, which is under British control. And now after th^ Chin amen have beon entering the United States in this manner and we endeavor to send them across the line" iDto Canad.i, we are in formed that a statute will practically prevent the dumping of the unwelcome population on British territory.
If this situation of affairs does not sug' gest legislative retaliation at the coming session of congress congressmen are not so apt in getting in trim with publict sentiment as has been generally understood.
The cable dispatches say the result of the elections in France makes it imper ative for the cabinet to resign or be reor ganized. It was a vote of a lack of confi dence. As in the English government there is in France a quickei response to the expressed demand of the people than in our own boasted form of popular gov' erntuent.
It is a strange com men to ry, too, that France where the danger to stable gov ernment is in the impetuosity of the peo pie that this temptation to ill-advised revolutions,J« peaceful though they may be, is held out to a greater extent than in this country.
There are nc any thinking men in this country who have long believed that the administrative or executive branch of our form of government should be made more responsive to the wishes of the peo pie. For instance President Cleveland and his cabinet may be pursuing a policy next fall at the time of the congressional election which being an issue may be rejected by an overwhelming expression of the "will of the "people" at the polls, yet Mr. Cleveland and his cabinet will go right along in their course for two years more and no one will question the right to do so.
In France and Great Britain it is not formally required that on a vote of lack of confidence the ministry shall retire, but it is an accepted theory of government. We could hardly expect the Cleveland cabinet to retire if the republicans should carry the country by a pronounced majority next fall, but there is reason in the demand that the administration shall change its policy if the people vote a lack of confidence.

\*ZBKE HAUTE AS A "SHOW TOWH"— "What have yon to say of Terre Haute as a profitable point for theatrical troupe?" was. asked yesterday of an advance agent "Well, sir, from personal observation or experience I cannot expresB an opinion. But from my intercourse with theatrical peddle, I learn that your city is well regarded. It is said yourtheatergoing public is honest in praise or censure that a combination that comes here onoe, with a. good _play, and does what- it promises before hand, need never come again and plead for a paying house.. This, candidly, is what I hear on the road and it is a good thing that it is BO for this reason "snide" troupe are afraid to come here (or ought so to be,) and combinations having really meritorious performance are only too anxious to bjll your town. Yes, I believe that a good troupe, as a rule, need have no fears of stranding in this city. As a theatrical man, I like your city, sir and am only too glad to be able to make a date 'here."

NEW JERSEY GHOSTS.
Antics of a Headless Spook by the Wayside, and a Flying: Phantom. CBEAM RIDGE, N. J., October 6.—This
part of Burlington county has in process of production a ghost story with notable modern improvements, A few nights ago a party of four persons driving along a country road near Ellisdale saw the motionless figure of a man standing by the roadside ahead of them. It neither moved nor spoke as they assed it, and each noticed that it was eadless. The negro driver lashed his horses into a gallop. The others looked back, but there was nothing to be seen on the spot where the headless man had been seen standing. All agreed that the figure had on a white shirt and red suspenders, and was without a head. It was seen distinctly in the moonlight.
Hard-headed farmers laugh at the ghost idea, and say that the figure was either a scarecrow set nip by boye or a tramp who had temporarily removed his head to rest his shoulders. Half a dozen negro farm-hands, however, have already succeeded in remembering that they have met the same headless phantom in lonely roads and dark corners ef the woods recently, and as soon as somebody can think of a murder to fit, an elaborate and highly ornate ghost story will be ready for publication.
The interest over the headless phantom of Ellisdale has revived a story of a few rears ago, when two eminently respecta)le citizens, driving a young colt along a narrow road with a steep embankment on either side, saw another horse and buggy coming toward them at a terrific gate. To avoid a collision they sang out lustily to the approaching driver, and as he had almost met them his horse turned sharply, dashed up the bank, and disappeared. The men stopped, and getting out went up the bank to apologise to the other driver but scuttled down again and drove off at a. gallop when they foind the bank crowned to the very edge with a thick growth of pines into which a horse could by no means have penetrated. It was a case of Flying Dutchman on wheels. They endeavored to keep the story quiet, but it leaked out, and several other persons testified to having seen the same mysterious vehicle disappear before their eyes on roads in the same vicinity just as it was about to run into them. A man driving along there several years before, it waa said, had been shot from an unbush.

FEMALE FIEND.
She Kills Her Husband and Boils His Remains—Convicted of Harder and will Hung.
LITTLE FALLS, N. Y., October 6.—The trial of Ma. Druse for thS^narder of her husband, Wm. Druse, closed at Herkimer. The jury brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. It is probable that the first person hanged in thexunty will be a
as the murder was one of
the most brutal known in this section of the state. Early in January of the present year rumors respecting the mysterious disappearance of William Druse, a farmer of moderate means, living about three miles from Richfield Springs, began to circulate. Soon these rumors developed into hints of foul play, and one of the neighbors was il to say that it was his belief that Druse had been murdered and his body burned in older to destroy trace of the crime. A Mr. Eckler, and others of the neighbors, it appears, noticed on December 18th a heavy black smoke vising from the Druse house, while the air. was impregnated with a foul odor, this state of affairs lasting about two hours. Owing to the seemingly earnest efforts made by Mrs. Druse and her daughter to discover the missing man's whereabouts the reports of ioul play were not generally credited. Living with the .Druse family was a lad named JPrank 'Gates, a nephew of Mrs. Druse, aged' 14 years. Mrs. Eckler and Charles Pott, a neighbor, questioned the lad respecting the smoke and foul odor noticed December 18th, aud eventually the^ lad became confused and was frightened into confessing. The matter wad finally braught to the notice of District Attorney A. B.
Steele, of Herkimer^ who^. reached the scene of the murder January 17th, and immediately took charge of the proceedings. Coroner Nellis impaneled a jury on the following day. The remains, which were found in a swamp not far from the house, were an almost indis-. tinguishable mass of dirt, ashes, and charred bones frozen together, it being subsequently discovered that the flesb after being boiled and burned off the bones, had been given to the hogs. The bov, Frank Gates, upon being examined stated that he lived in Warren with his aunt, Mrs. Druse, and the killing of Druse, her husband, was done December 1-8, and that Mrs. Diuse and her daughter had, during the previous surifcner, tried to hire him to shoot Wm. Druse. On the day of the murder, according to the boy's statements, Wm. Druse asked him to get up and build the fire, which he did, Mrs. Druse and her daughter Mary also arising at the same time. After breakfast Mrs. Druse sent George, her son, out of the house, and then calling the boy, she h'anded him a revolver and told him to shoot Druse or she "would shoot him. The boy said that be then fired at Druse and the woman, snatching the pistol from him, fired at her husband until* it was empty. She then took an axe and pounded him over thehead, afterwards decapitating the body. The body and George Druse were then compelled to build a large fire in both stoves and were afterwards set on watch at the windows while the body was being burned. The boy stated the next morning all he saw of Druse's body was a large bone, and even that was eventually placed in a stove by the daughter Mary. The ashes and a few remains were then put into a bag and a tin box and threw into a neighboring swamp, the axe and pistol being consigned to a pond, where they were afterwards found. The 'inquest was closed January 18th, the jury finding that William Druse was shot and killed by Rosanna,'his wife, aged 40 years, and that Mary, the daughter, aged 20, George W. S. Druse, the son, aged 10, and Frank Gates, the nephew, aged 14, were feloniously present,' and gave aid and comfort to the woman. Mrs. Druse had not roomed with her husband for ten wars
Herkimer court house was crowded this morning on the occasion of the sentence of Mrs. Druse. Her motion for a new trial was overruled. She was sentenced to be hanged November 25th. The accused displayed no emotion -until she was passing out of court, when she burst into tears. Her attorney will secure a stay ef proceedings and appeal the case.
