SCIENCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

The scientific examination of the head of Klaettke, which, proved him to be a degenerate and unaccountable for the murder of his family, ami the discoveries of Roentgen, ho has photographed the interior of the human body, tire calculated to start in any reflecting mind exciting and even painful reflections concerning the moral accountability of man. The parallelism between a man's body and his character has been noticed ever since the race began. Not only can one man form a tolerable judgment of another man's character from seeing him at a distance, but young children and even dogs can do the same thing. It would be just as irrational and dangerous to ignore the different aspects of different men as to ignore the different appearances of men and wild beasts. These facts, though the logical inference from them is unmistakable, have never had any effect on the universal belief in human arrived in New ork.

APPLY THE SAME RULE TO FOSS. The Republicans of the Sixth Congressional District have held their convention and have renominated Mr. Cooke. That was right. It is true that he has served for less than four mouths.

In that brief time it is hard for a new member to make a name for himself. Rut it would have been gross injustice to Mr. Cooke to deny him a renomination. It would have shown wanton indifference to the interests of the district. Had another man been nominated and Mr.

Cooke had displayed marked ability during the remainder of his term the voters would feel that they had made a serious mistake and one which could not be remedied. It would be manifest to them that they h-ad sacrificed it good man and substituted for him one who, when ti'sted. might turn out to be much inferior. It takes some little time to learn the routine of the House and to become known there. Hence a new member should be given a chance.

That is. he should be given a second term. Rut if by the time the next nominating convention meets he has reason for that. Hut on the gtrfit entertainment like the horse SIGNS OF A NEEDED REFORM. The news of the genteel manner in which the residence of (Jov.

The desirability of more refined methods among burglars and highwaymen has been keenly felt by all who have come in contact wfth them ina professional way. Indeed, so reprehensible has been the conduct of certain ill-bred persons who follow the calling that, ihe entire profession has been brought into disrepute. Of late the prejudice against burglars and highwaymen has become so marked the average citizen on his way home after nightfall would go blocks out of his way to avoid meeting one.

But what a contrast to the typical ruffian robber were these midnight visitors at the home of Gov. Matthews, who, after partaking of refreshments in the dining-room, left a polite, note regretting the inability of the Governor to join thein. If this reform movement should be fid-lowed up the Burglar of the Future may be expected to ring the door bell for admission instead of breaking locks and window fastenings, thereby causing needless bills for repairs, then after due apologies for disturbing the victim's slumbers, politely request him to bring forth his valuables instead of rummaging around in the dark, disarranging the contents of bureau drawers, thus causing needless vexation of spirit to the feminine portion of the household. A nd the Burglar of the Future may be expected to soothe the ruflled feelings of startled victims suddenly awakened from sound sleep with entertaining small talk instead of enforcing silence with rude threats of death at the muzzles of loaded pistols. It is a meritorious reform.

science tor tne last titty years nave an served to emphasize and corroliorate the parallelism between a man's bodily peculiarities and his traits of character, itiiiteuu, Klaettke, Holmes, and I'rendergast have all been declared irresponsible degenerates. A (Jerman professor had his brain photographed by Roentgen, and was so terrified by the peculiarities it exhibited he could not sleep for weeks. Not little by little, but by gigantic strides science seems to be demonstrating, a physical basis for every human trait of character and for every human act or even thought. The theological mind of course resents this process. It claims the degenerate, like the insane, are exceptional, and that we cannot reason from them to sane and normal human beings.

But science answers, these unfortunates differ from other men only in degree. Moreover, if the degenerate deserves no blame, how can the normal man deserves any praise Theology says a man can, by his own will, overcome both his mental peculiarities and a corrupting environment. But scieueo replies, some men can and some men cannot, according to the character impressed on them at the start. So the tendency of everything is to spread the mantel of charity and forgiveness over poor human nature. This assault on human accountability is based not only on constitutional characteristics but on disease as well.

A painful illustration of this is afforded in the case of a noble and brilliant Chicago woman who recently passenl away. This woman seemed to be two different persons in one. At one moment she evidently possessed a charity so broad and a philanthropy so sweet and pure she might be considered angelic.

Messrs.

lVase and Hertz do not wish to have the district represented by an able man, because ho might be too strong for them. They want no rivals near their throne. They prefer submissive mediocrity, which never can endanger their sway. The question at issue, therefore, is whether two men shall violate the precedents and select a candidate, who will look up to them first and to the people next, or whether a man shall be chosen who will look to the people and not to the bosses for instructions. The question is, as Mr.

The remedial bill, the object of which is to restore the parochial schools to the Roman Catholics of Manitoba, has boon introduced by the Minister of Justice in the Dominion Parliament. This action has roused the Protestants of Manitoba, who constitute a large majority of the population, and consequently of the government. Their Premier, Greeuaway, declares that any attempt to coerce Manitoba into submission to this bill will be resisted, and that if it is carried to an extremity civil war will follow.

Even the Conservatives of the province tire so fearful as to the outcome of a creed and race struggle that they have warned the Dominion Government of the trouble that may be in store.

There is an ancient law in Rhode Island, which, however, is almost forgotten, requiring clergymen to take out a license before officiating at marriages. The other day Father O'Hare and Mr. Stewart, the Episcopal rector of Auburn, went to the Town Clerk for this license. At first the Town Clerk was much puzzled what to do, as he-had no proper license blanks, but he finally got over the difficulty and the clergymen departed.

After they had got on a street car they opened their licenses, and each was horrified to find himself in the possession of a full-fledged second-class liquor lk-ense, with power to run a liquor shop, subject to all the privileges and penalties of the law. that while the French Catholics have a great influence in the Dominion Parliament, the English Protestants' sympathies are with the Manitoban Government. There seems to be little doubt that the latter will pass a resolution warning the Dominion Government of the danger which confronts it in case it insists upon separate schools. Meanwhile it is difficult to see how the Dominion Government can avoid passing it, even if it should lead to its disruption, as it may.

He is a candidate for tho Presidential nomination, and when he enunciates a Republican platform he lays down the one which he would like to see adopted at St.
