European civilization is filling the dark continent with ram for the na tires.

It may lead to painting the con- tinent red. Laura Biggar plays Iza in the "Cle- tnenceau Case" at the Grand Opera House. It Iza Biggar attraction than ever before. That settles it. The mad King of Bavaria smokes 100 cigarettes a day.

The wonder is that he has enough brain left to go crazy on. Euthnsiasm is like pop beer. If it does not burst out and run over it goes lor nothing, being flat, stale and unprofitable to the owner. The man who suffers most in his mind Is one who thinks he is the brain pf a groat political machine that will not listen to his advice. A writer on reform-dress subjects gays "The garters mast go." Well, that is they are worn for.

If they -were left off they would not go. No one can blame the worm for crawling and squirming, and trying to get away from an oyster on the half shell. The worm does not wish, to be swallowed. The man who rises for prayers ought to have them, but he should know that he cannot live on them. To get perma- nent good, a man must learn to do his own praying.

The Chicago News speaks of "the jnatchless climate of Chicago." It may be match less and incomparable, and all that, and yet be very bad as a specimen American climate. i The Barn's Horn man says "Nobody wants to keep a runaway horse." It is a pity because if the horse should be kept it would not be a runaway from home to any great extent. Somebody has invented a medicine which is called WhaFs His Name's Blessing to Mankind. It comes in bot- ties and is wonderful because so few blessings come in bottles. The pension bureau has more drawers irr it than amy other bureau connected with' the government.

Every patriot in the land is trying to draw a pension for having been a patriot. New beginners in equestrianism realize the painful meaning of -saddlery hard wear. Texas Siftings. The up and down dude who rides a hard trotting horse in English style gets on to that. It is thought Spain will become a re-' public for the purpose of pleasing and keeping Cuba.

It is a nation's entire population against the interests of a ij baby king who may have the measles that she does it. The candles at Mrs. Roger A.

At the sale of John R. Baker's collection of Washington relics in Philadelphia recently two volumes of the "Federalist," once owned by Washington, brought $1900. They were par-chased for Senator Hearst. Tlrfere should be a fortune in the back numbers of the old man's congressional records. Ordinarily such junks would go to tlie paper mill, but it depends upon who baa owned them and was too tired to give them away.

Some Boston people are publishing a Jook called "Therapeutic Sarcognoiny new Science of Soul. Brain and Body," which makes a total revolution in physiology and medical presenting in one systematic viewHhe functions of the brain, the bouy and the soul, with their exact anatomical connections and complex relations. Upon this view it develops a new sys- tern of practice in disease, and of hygienic laws for all, wjtb. a new elee- tro-tberapeutics and method of Tbis should fill a want long felt.

At the meeting of the Council Streets and Landings Committee on rid ay the sub-committee which had been appointed to investigate the charges of illegality in paying oat money to the contractors for the Washington Avenue paving, handed in a report which discountenanced the charges and virtually sustained all the acts of paying the contractors. One part of the controversy was as to the time the work was completed. When the investigation was bad no testimony was to be got beyond that embodied in the charges. There were reported to be no records, and none of the officials knew when the work had been as required by the contract." They knew well enough that the contract bad been complied with. The work was praised to the skies, bat nobody could tell when the actual completion was effected.

It was impossible to get any information on the subject upon which nearly the whole controversy turned. The contract said that the work must be done in 1888. It said that for every day of delay after the specified period the contractors must pay a forfeit. It said that for one year after the completion of the work the contractors must keep it in repair free of It would seem then that the date of this completion ot the contract, upon' which so many important condition's were founded, would-be preserved somewhere in the city's records. It would seem impossible that such a matter should be wholly neglected.

But such is the fact. The law requires that the work should be inspected and its com pletion certified to by certain officials. They testified that the inspection was made, but when, nobody knows. The contractors got their money for build ing the street, and they got a large sum for repairing it. This is easy enough to ascertain, for there is a big void In the treasury from which the money was taken; but whether or not the money was honestly earned, whether or not the contract was fully complied with, whether or not the work was done at" the specified time, whether or not it was kept in repair for one year free of charge, there is no record to prove.

The people who testify positively that all was done as it was required to be done, are clear in their recollection on those points, it comes to declare the actual (hate upon which the determination of these facts depends, every memory utter ly at fault. Now comes Councilman Borman to testify to that date. Under, such cir cumstances it is necessary that the committee should reopen the matter. If there is now any prospect of getting at a fact which the committee has hereto fore been wholly unable to reach, except through tlie statement of the accuser, then every effort should be made to secure it. The ooinmittee may be morally certain that the terms of the contract were complied with, but the committee has been wholly unable to furnish the proof to the public That proof is what is wanted.

THE NEW SECRETARY OP THE TREAS URY. The appointment to be Secretary of the Treasury of the Hon. Charles Foster, of Ohio, not unexpected. Mr. Foster haa served as a member, of Congress and as Governor of his State, but it does not appear that he has any special reputation as a financier.

He, of course, is opposed to the free coinage of silver, and is 'bound to the current financial theories of his party, but it is not likely that his views are radical either way. It is worthy of notice that he is a Western man. but he cannot serve his party and be insensible to the powerful influences of Wall street. As things are, there is no objection to his appointment. Mr.

Foster was a member of Congress during the reconstruction troubles iu Louisiana, and was sent here daring the McEaery-Kellogg gubernatorial controversy iu 1872. He took unexpectedly fair and uupartisan views of matters here, and while he condemned acts on both sides, he signed a report it favor of the election of McEuery. Subsequently he took an active part in the Hayes-Tilden presidential contest, and was extremely favorable to an arrangement which, while it gave the White House to General Hayes, confirmed Louisiana to the Democrats. The new Secretary has his record as a financier to make. He has taken office in the midst of the conditions of disquiet and nnsettlement caused on the one band by the money panic through which the commercial world has just passed, and on the other by the radical demands of the extremists of the Western school of flu.

nice. He will have at lsjtat a breathing spell from now until the next seaou for handling the crops. Then comes Congress. What is to come afterwards, it is not easy to prophesy; but the secretary, will have enough to worry him as well as to occupy his time. The early future of the national finances promises to be unsettled to a high degree.

POPULAR RIGHTS IX SOUTH AMERICA. While it is true that there has been an unusual amouiit of revolutionary disturbance in South America for a twelve-mouth or more pust. and just at the present moment the condition of a Suits is as disturbed aud unsatisfactory as it is potMible to be, still it is a noteworthy fact that the troubles in everv case have resulted from actual' oppression ot the people by the executive authority. Aside from the revolution in Brazil, which was a peaceable change from a monarchical to a republican form of government, the other revolutionary, movements have resulted from popular discontent with Executives who had set aside all constitutional restraints, and had actually become dictators and despots. In the case of the -Argentine Republic, where bnt recently there was a brief, but sanguinary revolutionary straggle, the trouble grew out of a systematic and scandalous plundering of the public funds by the President of the republie and his chief advisers.

Both legislative restraints and popular clamor having tailed to check the outrageous abuse, of 'executive power which bankrupted the country, the people openly revolted and the obnoxious officials were compelled to re- 1 The cause' of the existing revolution in Chili, while not altogether similar to 1 the trouble in the Argentine Republic, resembles it insofar as it represents a revolt ot the people against attetdpt of the executive to override the con stitution. It lav not charged that the President of Chili has, plundered the public treasury, no even that he has been guilty of oppressive acts, but his offense consists in atbwapts to govern ktie country in defiance' of the legula- tire enactments of the Cortes or Parliament. a President Balmaceda has been at open war with the legislative branch of the Chilian Government for' some time past, and, as be had the support of the army, it looked for a long time as if he would finally prevail, lhe navy, however, took up the cause of the Con gress, which was practically that of the people and of the constitution, and according to all accounts the arms of the revolutionists are proving victorious. The first result of the peaceable Overthrow of the monarchy in Brazil was to place in power in that country a military oligarchy, which by its arbi- irary course nas marred mucn 01 tao good results that should naturally hare been expected by the establishment of a republican form of government. Since, however, the adoption of a regular constitution and too election of a congress the power of the provisional government has been rapidlv diminishing and the Brazilian people, through their representatives iu the national assembly, have shown a determination to insist upon the establishment of a thoroughly representative and republican government.

While all these-political upheavals have produced uneasiness in South America, and distrust of South. Ameri can securities and enterprises abroad. we believe that the ultimate results will be beneficial. The outcome of all the troubles so far has been the triumph of popular liberties over military or executive despotism, henoe the ascendancy of constitutional rights over personal ambitions may be expected to follow. These revolutions indicate that the people of South 'America are becoming more appreciative of the advantages of free institutions and will no longer permit their destinies to be guided by ambitious leaders who thiuk more of firmly implanting themselves in power than in furthering the true interests of their people.

GETTING TWELYE JURYMEN. The lawyers who are engaged in the Hennessy murder case have about exhausted a supply of nearly 700 talesmen and nave only so far succeeded in securing seven jurymen. There are five more needed to complete the panel, and it is fair to suppose that at least 500 more candidates must be examined before the requisite five intelligent men, who know positively nothing, can be found. We are far from desiring to abridge in auy manner the rights of any accused person to a fair trial. We accept the time-honored dictam that it is better that ninety and nine guilty men should escape just punishment than that one innocent person should be un justly condemned.

Nevertheless there are limits to the privileges that should be permitted in challenging jurors. Any citizen who is intelligent, who has no bias or prejudice, who has no scruples as to capital punishment, whp bears a good renuatlon for honesty and who has no personal or pecuniary interest for or against the accused, is a good juror, iiotbing better is required. But is it alwaysAn honest jaryman that is wanted Is it an intelligent juryman that is desired Is it freedom from prejudice or personal interest that is sought? We can well imagine that the accused should desire a jury that can be dependedj on to acquit. We can suppose the State would waut a jury that would do justice. This, at least, is what the State should want.

Then why net lettbeVourt determine in each case the fitness of a juryman The entire object of the trial is theoretically to do justice, This ought to be the desire of the prosecution, as it is, without doubt, of the judge. Why let counsel, in examining fitness for jury duty, go into supposititious showings of the testimony which is expected to be elicited, and then question talesmen as to their opinions of its' merits. We can see no benefits to accrue to anyone from this. This jury business is simple enough if it were kept within reasonable bounds. THE RECIPROCITY CAMPAIGN IN CAN ADA.

As was conjectured at the commencement of the reciprocity campaign In Canada, the government of Sir John McDonald has endeavored to mislead the Canadian electors as to the true issne by charging that the real object of the Liberal leaders in urging the unlimited reciprocity idea is not" merely to improve the trade relations between the Dominion and the United States, but to prepare the way for annexation. The Canadian Premier and his supporters have accordingly endeavored to make the advocates of reciprocity appear as traitors to Canadian nationality. it must be confessed that Sir John McDonald has waged a. vigorous and able fight, and has unquestionably placed formidable obstacles in the way of unlimited reciprocity. He has actually confused if he has not silenced his adversaries, and the Liberal ranksj which at theumtset threatened to carry all before them, have been very seri- ously disordered.

The wily. Canadian statesman has openly charged some of the "Liberal leaders with having entered into a con- Vapiracy with certain public men in the Uuited States to- so conduct the reciprocity campaign as to prepare, the way for ultimate annexation by placing Canada in a position that would, leave no other alternative. -This charge has been given a highly sensational turn by the production by Sir John McDonald of certaiu document which apparently connect the Liberals referred to with annexation projects. On these revelations is based the charge of trea sou, which the. supporters of the Government believe will utterly rout the opposition.

There can be no doubt that the public charges referred to have created a tremendous sensation, and have unquestionably damaged the chances of the Liberals. This is to be regretted as there can be no doubt but that the establishment of unrestricted reciprocity between the Dominion and this country would have done much to remove the frequent causes of trouble which have in the past arisen between the two Governments, aud which are likely to occur even more frequently in the fntare. 1 Nevertheless this country has no such. Interest in the outcome of the Canadian campaign as to induce oar public men to enter into any intrigue with either side in the eon test which is now 'dividing theeople of the Dominions While the people of the 8tatos would gladly welcome either a closer commercial or political union with Canada, they are not likely to resort to any unusual or sensational methods. to bring about such a consummation.

The pro- gress 01 tne vanaatanr campaign is 1 therefore being watched with ty, it is true, but 1 with the most pie to indifference as to the result. THE CONCERT SAL00N8. We publish, elsewhere a from a prominent citizen' on the subject of the concert saloon abuses. The law upon which these concerns are said to rely to enable them to keep open and sell liquors on Sunday is 60 of 1888, which provides for the regulation of concert saloons and, defines what they are. A concert saloon is intended to include "any place where spirituous and malt liquors are sold, and where can -can, clodoche or other similar sensational performance or statuary exhibition or boxing or wrestling bouts are held, or any other fixed place for either theatrical, musical or minstrel concert, dancing' or variety performance, amusement or show of any kind in which anynalt or spirit- uoas liquors are sold." Section expressly states Thlt it shall be unlawful for aay proprietor of -such concert saloon to keep open between the hours of 8 m.

and 6 p. daily, and it shall be lawful to keep such concert saloons open only from 0 p. m. to 4 a. daily.

There is a clause repealing all laws in conflict with the above, and as this was subsequent to the Sunday law it was claimed to supersede that, as far as these places concerned. At 'any rate, while other barrooms which violate the Suuday law at least put np a screen at the door, or make a pretense of closing, these concert saloons keep open ou j3undajvithout the -slightest attempt a concealment. If they are able to defy the law in so bold a manner, it only shows how strong they are with the administrators of the law. It was stated yesterday that the City Council bad reduced the city license tax on these concerns to less than half what is required by the State law, and that this reduced tax had been paid to the city. It now comes out that while top Wenger saloon has already paid the State tax of $5000.

Schoenhanseu and Plant, who owe the State $10,000 for their two saloons, but have paid nothing, tendered to the State Tax Collector the sum of $2300 for their two establishments, claiming that they owe only for theatrical and bar licenses. They must pay before the 1st day of March or they become liable to the penalties denounced by the law for the illegal conduct of such a business. If they shall refuse to pay, we certainly trust that there will be found backbone and honesty enough, as there is law enough, to close these infamous and law-defying concerns. INTEREST NATIONAL DEFENSE. I One of tlie most interesting and important developments in connection with our national life' daring recefet years has been tbe lively intereat-which has been awakened in all matters relating to preparations for the national de- fense.

But a few years back the Naval department of the Government was so thoroughly neglected that appropriations for new ships had entirely ceased and the fleet wa permitted to fall into such a state of decay that it would haye been unable to cope with the vessels of even a third rate power. Now, all this is changed. Each year the appropriations for the construction of new and powerful vessels grow larger, and the growth of the fleet is watched with ever increasing public interest. The cause of this change is traceable to the fact that the people have been thoroughly aroused to a realization of the unprotected state of our seaooast which, with our. present defenses, is open to the attack of any petty power having a few powerful ships and thoroughly at the mercy of any of the large maritime powers of Europe.

It has been m'ade manifest that we need a powerful navy, and once impressed with this fact the people have e-eon prompt to insist that Congress appropriate the money needed to build such a fleet as will insure protection to our seacoast and comuurce. This interest in national-defense is not confined to our own people bntis equally pronounced in many other quarters. A few years ago the simple statement by a high official that the British fleet was no longer sufficient to guarantee absolute security to English commerce induced the British Parliament to appropriate the immense sums needed to add to their already great fleet fully sixty modern war ships, and, more recently, when some question arose as to the efficacy of a 'new rifle proposed for the equipment of the British army, the people, through their representatives in Parliament and their newspapers, demanded a public test of the new arm. I The rejoicing in Germany over the acquisition of Heligoland is still fresh in everybody's memory, and yet that small island in the North Sea can be of no practical value to Germany except as a strong defense to the approaches to her principal seaport. The same aaxiety as to better provision for the national defense is apparent in many other quarters and 1s one of the conspicuous signs of the times.
