ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. CYCLING NOTES. FLOTSAM AND JETSAM. SPIRIT OP THE PRESS. ALLEGED ADULTERATION OF MILK.

At the Exeter Police Court this morm'Dg, Chas'. Selater, of Hoavitree Bridge, was suirrraoHed for unlawfully selling a certain article of food, to wit, milk, to which water had been added contrary to the Foods Act on 23rd Ausust. Mr.Shorto fTowCleikV THE RE-ELECTION OF MINISTERS OF THE CROWN. It evident, in short, that Mr. Chaplin will be practically compelled to fight ns hard to retain hi3 petition as if, instead of being a Member of Parliament of long standing md a man of sufficient political distinction to be invited to enter a Cabinet, ho had yet to win his spins as an untried candidate for Parliamentary honours.

Surely it is the" Telegraph, "that this useless and vexatious tax, f.r it is nothing better, upon the aeceptanca of Ministerial office should be repealed. Wnat conceivable purpose of public utility is served nowadays by compelling the recipient of an "office of profit under the Crown to subnet his appointment to the approval of Ms constituents Time was, we all know, wh'-n the phrose "an office of profit under -the frown" wm 1 a too well-known description of the p-: of a member's politics! independence, when there was good reason for requiiing his acceptance of it to receive the ratification of those electors whose in'erests he might be corruptly bartering uwav. But those were the days when jobs were plentiful, when Ministerial bribery was one of the recognised means of carrying on the work of Government, and when the facilities for bringing Dublic cpinion to bear upon the briber or the bribed were scanty, if not altogether lacking. In the present day tha whole set of these conditions is absolutely changed. No Minister would dure to offer, no member would venture to accept, ollie.o as a reward for the violation of his Parliamentary trust and if any suh corrupt and immoral bargain wero concludad, the parties to it W3uld not have to wait for the censure of an electoral soastituency.

They would be exposed and condemned by public opinion, and probably visited with Parliamentary cmsuro before any body of Slectors had time to pronounce judgment on the A NATIONAL AND ITS PRINCIPLES. It is perfectly clear that when the time arrives for the fusion of Conservative Unionists and Liberal Unionists, the terms Conservative and Tory, Liberal and Radical, will have to be dropped and disappear. In what proiwrlions the newly-christened Party will be Conservative am! Libeial, it would be ns useless aa it would be indivUious to inquire. The really interesting and practical question to ask is, What will have to be the leading principles on which this New Party will repose. It seems to the "Standard" that they have to bo four in number.

The first principle will be, not a superstitious, but a leverential and reasonable regard to the organisation of society, as handed down by many gen-irations, and the natural growth of the continuous life of the nation itself. In reasonable reverence forthis living organism wouldof course be included reverence for the foundations of the Constitution. The next principle which the members of the National party would have to uphold in common would be that unity of the Realm for which Unionists of all shades of political opinion have been doing battle for the last three yeira, and are fighting stubbornly and stoutly. The third principle is pride in the British Empire as an Empire, the cultivation and defence of the Imperial sentiment, whereby all the various membeis of the Empire niiy be more closely knit together by a feeling of common interest, common glory, common origin, and common purposes. A fourth principle has still to be Darned a principle fully as important as any of the other three.

That principle is expressed by the subordination of all party rivalries, of all class jealousies to the business and duty of promoting the material, intellectual, and moral welfare of the people of the United Kingdom. Instead of asking itself, as every party bus only too often done in the past, what political cry would best promote its own interest, and would most grievously embarrass its opponents, the new National Party would brush all such idle and selfish considerations aside, and only ask itself whit useful and practical measures would benefit one portion of thecommunity without injuring or robbing any other portion of the community what measures will, in a word, prove of advantage to the whole Commonwealth by adding health, strength, and Sapaeity to one or other ot its members. THE LAN CAS HIKE PLATE. The fifth and last of the new fashioned prizis which have been introduced into the programmes of so many race meetings will b9 ruofor at Manchester to-morrow, and the exp-ctation evidently is that the Duke of Portland, who has up to the present time won all the tour run lor at Leicester, h.emnton, New market, and Sundown, will crown the edifice bT securingthefifthwithDonovan.whohashimsoif taken uu u. ii v- -n DenMs have been expressed- and not altos-ether without! reason remarks the News." as to whether I these new expensive for sub-cribers to them, would continue to obtiin the required number of entries but it must be admitted that, so far.

at all events, there is no bign ot their declining in popularity, a- the nominations for the race to be run at llachesttr two years hence have just closed, the total being linger that ever before. There is this much to be said in their favour, that their value is sufficiently great to make it worth the while of thoas who own g-'od horses engaged in them to send them to the post, irrespective of all better tions, the truth of the matter being that the sub- i scriptions taken by the diifVrent owners foim. as it were, a sort of co-ewntivo beltine fund paid over, to the winner. It need hardly be said that were all i these valuable stakes to be won season after season I by one owner, the effect would be very discnurnging but there is little prospect of the Duke of Portland's marvellous luck being enjoyed cither by Mm or by any other owner ot horses for Bome time to come. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS.

The "Tiraoi" thus sums up the alternatives of tha French elections. On the one hand they areoffered government, not perhaps of a very perfect kind, not so interesting or so brilliant or so intelligent as a The time is fast drawing to oloise'when I must give way to my tool bull friend, ana lie will nave aiair oia tuna ot it, it every tnmg we near is true. a While we have had such beatjtiul woather there have been planty of cyclists about, notably the Stragglers." Their club run on Wednesday was attended by three members, whn rode down Fore-Btreet Hid, about 6 p.m. A little "Gray" bird, evidently a "Martin," was quite en evidence. 1 hope you had pleasant jaunt, Messieurs.

The start was witnessed by a large number of people at 9.38 a.m. Mr.

C. Finch acting as sub-captain. The loag procession wended its way past a long cavalcade of caravans, the inhabitants of which evidently enjoyed the sight. The Keomry, which is an exceedingly picturesqre little spot, was reached, and at the gates we were kindly received by the liev. Porter, and tho Curate, Rev.

Square. a An adjournment was made to the arbour, and the thtrsty souls were regaled with new milk. All the cyclists afterwards attended the seivice, which was hold in the pretty little edifice, dedicated te St. Andrew. Tho church, which is generally very well attended, was en this occasion quite full.

Among the worshippers was Mr. Imbert-'furry, and the hymns were 36. S05, and 222. The rev. gentlemin took for his text the 16th verse from the 3rd; chapter of the Epistle of St.

Paul to the Galatians. The sermon was a very eloquent one, and the preacher praistd the cyclists "for shewing a true Christian spirii After Bervice, by the kindness of the rector, a light luncheon was laid at his house, and the wirrthy heel-men did full justice to the repast, and heartily thanked the reotor for his thoughtfulness and kinduesa. The return to the city was made at 2 p.m. At Kenn-ford five malcontsuia left after lunch, and proceeded to Dawlish, where they spent a pleasant hour or two by the sua. The attendance of the members of the club would have been larger only Messrs.

A short time ago tha Devon Hovers C.C. Droraised that they would join the club at any time for a run. On Sunday tney received an invitation, but not one put an anpearance, and I don't think a reply was sent to Mr. Best's letter. a a Such snobbishness as this is too contemptible, and I voto that the K.O.C.

do not trouble anything about such' milk-and-water cyclists. At the same time as my readers are perusintj these notes there is going on in London a jolly old row at the special meeting of the C.T.C. Krom what I hear, Mr. Shipton will come off victorious, and no he ought to, after auch a lot of his enemies have been trying all they can to crush him. It would be a very bad day's work for the T.C.

te lose Mr. E. R. S. This reminds me that a short time ago I intimated that Devonshire would, at the end of the year, have to electa representative councillor, who, with our present C.C.

fur Devon, will have the honour of representing all Devonshire i.n the Council of the club. I am requested to note that the West of Eng'atd Council meeting of ibe C.T.C. will be held at the While Hotel, Hath, on Saturday, October l'2th. and our Chief Consul, who will then be present, hopeu by that time to be able to HUbmit the name or names of gentlemen willing to accept office. I am informed on very good authority that Plymouth will nominate a candidate, also Newton Abbot, and I hope that Exeter will, therefore, be prepared with a candidate also.

There is every probability of the Council of the C.T.C. holding a meeting in Devonshire next year, and should Exeter be successful in -firettinar selected we may look out for a good banquet It will bB hold during the racing and touring season. Now my C.T.C, friends, oan't be to the fore. stir up a bit; and see if we I am just informed that the Exeter Rovers (or the Terriers) would huve joined the parade last Sunday, only they were under a and because they weren't invited in my notes of last Friday. Now, I nm sirrv that 1 did not mention mv terrif vine; friends, but my notes are not an official column of any cycling club.

The 12-hour competition will be held, a previously announced, next Tuesday, starting at 6.30 a.m. The entries are Messrs. F. Chick, C. Finch, Burridge, Hodge, and Dsvey (tricycle) Three of these competitors are, I believe, only goiner for the 100 mile medal, while the others are goinjr to scorch to beat the preaent record of 175 miles.

Will they do it? That in the question. The Cyclist says If any lady fair should hesitate to take up cycling on the score of itB fancied UDBuitability to health, we refer them to a letter which appears ial this month's "C.T.C. Gazette" overthe signature of Mr. Arthur W. Kdis, M.D., the senior physician.

to the Cbelsea ORpita for Women, who ought, to understand the subject if anyone does. After pulverising the adverse criticisms of a certain medical man, who, in advising on the matter, compared the ill effects ot cycling to those wrought upon poor sempstresses by the twelve hours per diem work of a sewing machine, Mr. KdiB concludes his letter with the following valuable statement, whioh we all young ladies desirous of taking up the wheel to bring under the nofico of obdurate paterfamilias without delay. We quote: I invariably recommend yeung ladies to take to cycling with the object of improving their general health, and givw them a healthy Iodb, both mental and physical, and I can Bafaly say I have never had to regret it, in a single instance."

A report was current in Creditou on Wednesday evening tnat robbery had taken p'aee at Shobrooke Park, the residenoe of Sir Join Shelby, about two miles distant, and that a good deal of valuable property had been stolen-.

Inquiries were made and went to show that the rumour, althouah hardly correct-in somo of itB details, bad some foundation.

There is a serious split among the Liber! party in constituency. A large number of the Liberals are thoroughly dissatisfied with the wild theories of land nationalisation promulgated by Mr. Seymour Keay, of London, the candidate accepted by the Liberal Executive. A circular has been issued, marked urgent," calling a meeting of the Executive for to-night, and it is expected that tbere will be a large attendance. Rumours were current yesterday in Elgin that Mr.

Keay would be called upon to retire frnm that contest, and that Mr. Crombie, the accepted Liberal candidate for Kincardineshire, who soma time ago addressed meetings throughout thn constituency, would he called upon to take Mr. Keay 's place as the accepted candidate. Mr. Keay and his agents have been in conterence with Mr.

Arnold Morley and Mr. Marjoribanks regarding the situation, and it is stated that should Mr. Crombie come forward, the Whips will undertake to provide the county of Kincardine with a suitable Liberal candidate. Yes terday Mr. Logan addressed a meeting at Nairn, and in the course of his speech said he would not trouble them with further criticism on Mr.

Keay's scheme of land reform, aB it was probable Mx. Keay would not be much longer before them. THE WHITECHAPEL MYSTERY. A SINGULAE STORY. A curious story is published in the columns ot the New York Herald" (London edition) to-day.

It is to the effect that a man has been found, who is quite convinced that the Whitechapel murderer occupied rooms in his house. This man states that suspicion was first aroused by the lodger coming home about four o'clock one morning. He had expected to find everybody in bed, and to be able to get to his room unobserved. To his surprise, his landlord had been kept up waiting for hiB wife, who was on a visit to some friends. The lodger was excited and incoherent in his talk.

He said he had been having rough time, that he had been assaulted, and had his watch stolen, and he gavo khe name of a police Btation where he had laid a complaint. Upon inquiries at the. police-station, this story was found to be entirely devoid ot rounflauon. lie raa maae no complaint, ana tne ponce Baa no Knowieage oi street disturbance. The man shirt and underclothing were found hanging over chairs.

They had been washed and put out to dry. He was in the habit of talking about the woman of the street, and wrote long rigmaroles aDoui tnem. His writing in minute particulars resembled that of tho letters sent to the police purporting to come irom "Jack the flipper." He had a wardrobe which included eight suits of clothes, eight pairs of eight hats. The man can fptak Eeveral languages, and when he went out he always carried a black bag. He was apparently well off, and never wore the same hat on two successive occasions.

When he "left his lodgings a quantity ef Ijjws, feathers, and flowers, and other articles which bad belonged to the lower class of women wero found in his room. He also left behind him three pairs of hoots and three paiis of goloshes. The boots are ordinary leather lace-up boots with thin soles. The goloshes have indiarubber bottoms and American cloth uppers, and uro bespattered with blood. The individual who supplies the above story has reason to believe that another murder will be committed shortly.

Seme writing to this effect, and said to be written bv the Buspected man, was found on a wall the ether day. A sketch upon paper, of a significant character, has also been picked up near to the spot where the Inst victim's body was found. DR. FORBES WINSLOW KNOWS THE MUKDEREEl. Yesterday a reporter had an interview with Dr.

Forbes Winalow with reference to the "Herald's" statements. The doctor having exhibited noiseless boots, which he declared belonged to Jack the Ripper," Baid that on the morning of the 30th of August, a woman, wimi wuoui no wkb ui was spoken to by a man in Worship-street, Finsbury. He asked her to come down a certain court with him, offering her 1. ThiB she refused, and he then doubled the amount, which she a'so declined. He next asked her where the court led to, and shortly afterwards left.

Apparently he did not know that he was being followed, but when he and the party had reached the open street, he turned round, raised his hat. and with an air of bravado Eaid, I know what you have been doinir, good morning The women then watched the man into a certain house, the situation of which the doctor would not She previously noticed the man because of HIS STRANGE MANN Bit. and on the morning on which tho woman Mackenzie was murdered (July lSthl, she saw birrt washing hiB hands iu the yarn of the house reierrod to.

This was about four o'clock iu the The doctor said he was now waitintr for a ceitnin thing, which was tne only obstacle to his effecting the man's arrest. The supposed assassin lived with it friend of: Dr. Forbes Winslow's, and this gentleman himself told the doctor that he noticed the man's stiange behaviour. He would at timeB sit down and write fifty or sixty sheets of manuscript about low women, for whom he professed to have a greit hatred. Shortly before the body was found in Pinchin-street luBt week the man disappeared, leaving behind bim the articles already mentioned, togethe: with a packet of manuscript, which the doctor said was in exactly the same handwriting as the Jack the Ripper letters which ware sent the police.

He had stated pioviouflly that ho was eoing abroad, but a very few days before the body was found (the 10th of September) he was Been in the neighbourhood of Pinehin-street.

The man, he says, cut the body up and then commenced to burn it. He had, consumed t'ie head and legs when hiB fit of the terrible mania passed, 'and he was horrified to find what he had-done. "I know for a fact," said the doctor, that this man is suffering from a violent 'orm of rsligious mania, which nttaeks him and passes off at intervals.

I am certain that there iB another man in it besides the one I am after, but my reasons for that I cannot state. The police will have nothing to do with the capture, lam making arrangements to station six men around the spot where I know my man is, and ho will bs trapped." The public had laughed at him (the doctor went on to say), but on the Tuesday before theliat body was discovered he had received information that a murder would be committed in two or three days. Tn conclusion. Dr. Winslow remarked I nm as certain that I have tho murderer as I am of being here." CULLED FROM VARIOUS CONTEMPORARIES.

The anticipation that Mr. Seymour Keay's appearance among respectable Liberals of the moderate type in a constituency like Elgin and Nairn would Uad to an unpleasant feeling that he was not precisely the sort of man to promote to a rauiu-mentary position has been folly justified. With Mr. Seymour Keay it is not teni, vidi, but I camo, I wai seen, I was beaten." Theie is a split already in the Elgin and Nairn Liberal Asrociation, and it has ocourred on the very eve of the battle. Mr.

Maityrdom in the cause of science was very nearly 'the fate of Mr. J. Spiller, whose paper, An Experiment in Colour Bliudues," was read on Wednesday at Newcastle.

BeiDg anxious to test the supposed power of the drug santonine to produce colour blindness, he took a email dose, with the result that he quite lost for a time his power of distinguishing oolours.

Father O'Dwyer doeB not stand alone in his proclivity to the use of insolent language in the Courts. Yesterday, at the inquest on Daniel Donoghue at Timoleague, Mr. Sbinkwin, who appeared for the relatives of the doceascd man, appealed to a witness in the words, "Come now, you strong, hulking fellow."

It might have been thought that this meant "barrister-at-l-iw," but more probably it signifies brutal-in-language Apropos of Mr. Chamberlain's remarks about a "National" parly, the Daily News" sententiously quotes Lord dictum that England does not love ooslitions," and implies that that seals the fate of the Unionist alliance. But the Daily News" seems forget that the argument cuts both ways, and that England certainly would not give up coalition of Conservatives and Unionists merely in order to be ruled by another coalition of GladBtonites and Parnellitea.

The town has not been at all excited ly Dr-Forbes Winslow's assertion thai he has discovered the Whitechapel murderer. If Dr. Forbes Winslow had been a wise man, he would not blab about the methods he is taking to secure him. He would think more of catching the murderer than of claiming the credit of it, and would not dispense with the assistance of the police.

Dr. Forbes Winslow may be a very great mad doctor, but he makes a mad detective. Detectives don't talk. Ncr is the story about the powerful woman who has been learning htrbusinessby taking a hand in East-end slaughter-houses of much more value. The theory is not bow.

BANQUET TO LORD DDFFEttlN. The Marauis of Duff r-rin was last nisrht entertained at a banquet in Belfast. There was a large and influential assemblage. The Mayor presided.

In replying to tbo toast of "Our welcome guest," Lord Duflerin dealt chiefly with India. Ha re marked that without disparagement to either ot the sister kingdoms he could say with perfect truth that buth Ireland hs a whole and Ulster as a province tad imported a vast amount of ability, industry, and valour into Indian civil and military services. At the present momeut the supreme conduct of Indinn affairs was entrusted to a Kerry nobleman i the Marquis of Lansdowne, while thirty million oil of moral obligation which prevail in the WeBt, had vindicated their authority and planted their sanction both in the Courts oi Justice and in the counting I houses of Hindoostan- I Fast Ockas Steamers.

Mr. Scla'er was to send: one bottle, and the Inspector of Nuisances the other, buc unfortunately in trinsmittina- the milk to London, the bottle Sent by i- lfendait broke. The other portion was analysed by Die. Bell and Holmes, and it was found that.it contained-eight per cent, of added water. Mr.

Shorto taidi that upon the report of the Somerset House analysts- fle should ask for the judgment of the Court. The' case a fortnight ago was closed in all other reepeeis. Brown said he should submit that the case-was not closed on the iaet occasien. He proposed to call the defendant as a witness. It was most unfortunate that only one bottle of milk should have been analysed by Somerset House, as his-client would swear that he never added water to tho ne'ther had anyone in his employ.

He trusted the Bench would remember that he made no defence a fortnight ago. Mr. Shorto said if Mr. Brown was goiog to make his defence now he would take good care that on another occasion the case should bo pr- pirly closed. It was most certainly understood a foitnight idnce that Ae case was closed.

Mr. Brown 1 don't say that my evidence will make any diffcuonee. Water might get into milk without the owner's knowledge. Any employer is at the mercy of his employes. My client swears that he never put water into" the milk-' He is a i-espectable man and ought tn ho believed.

Mr. Knapman It waB extremely unfortunate that the other sample of miik should have been wasted. Personally" I shall be glad to admit any evidence: The defendant having been sworn, said he was a fermer, living at Heavitree Bridge. With, regard to tho sample of milk that was taken by the I-specter of NuisanceB and also that sent' to the Workhouse, he was not aware that anyone had added water io it. He was positive that he had no knowledge that anyone did so.

and he had no reason ta suspect anyone. Mr. Louis Ham, of South-street, used to buv milk of him to sell again. He bad real in the newspapers that Ham had been. convicted for selling adulterate! milt, out since the conviction took place he had refused to supply Ham with milk.

Knapman The evidence of the City Analyst is that the milk was adulterated with 10 per. cent of water, and that evidence has been corroborated to some extent by the Somerset House Can you account for it Defendant I cannot. The two samples of milk, so far as I could aee, did not correspond in appearance. Mr. Knapman That would be owing to the temperature.

The Bench retired, una were considering for tweDty minutes. Upon returning-into Court, Mr. Franklin said the Magistrates con sidered the cise proved, and defenlant would be hnea tl and the expenses. ANOTHER WIFE CASE. BEATING- SHE SHOULD GO FOR HIM." At the Exeter Police Court this morning, Jos, Enpaoott, a porter, was summoned for unlawfully assaulting and beating his wife, Ann, on the 18tb inet Complainant said she lived and defendant came home about quarter past eleven on Wednesday night and asked for his tea.

He was very drunk, and' she told him that was a pretty time-of day to- come home and expect hie tea. Be then began to call her filthy names, and she eventually succeeded in getting him upstairs. Whon in the bedroom, defendant commenced to make a row and etruok her violently to the ground. Onjgetting up he kicked her on the knee, and she-again fell to the ground.
