permanently residing there and providing
that tho negro or mulatto convicted of that
heinous crlmo might bo sold at auction to

The Attempt to Coerce tho Lords
The mass meeting held In London on lion
day was tho most imposing demonstration
if of the popular will that has been son In Eng
BBSs land since tho agitation which extorted the
repeal of the Coi n laws As tho huge proces
sion passed Whitehall It must have remind
I ed the onlookers of tho similar uprising that
preceded tho English civil war when tho men
of tho northern counties marched to London
and emboldened the defenders of
omboltenet defendor popular
rights in tho Long Parliament to begin tho
Btrugglo with tho King Tho moral Influence
exerted by such a display of force can hardly
fail t bo deep and lasting and should like
1 demonstrations bo organized In Manchester
and other great centres of Industry tho Peers
j may become panic stricken and abjure their
t intention of deforiliig tho extension of tho
franchise
4 4 It I nevertheless truo that by resorting to
tr moss meetings and the machinery of intimi
4 dation at this juncture the Liberals havo
dealt the upper House what Lord SALisnuitv
F will b Justified In calling a foul blow
Thero are times when the coercion of a re
calcitrant majority of tho Peers would be
k nooossary and so to speak constitutional
but it cannot seriously bo argued that tho
present crisIs is ono of them The IJiltlsh
Constitution looks to the ballot box
aud not to tho utterance of assemblies
largely composed of mmvoters
as a means
k of ascertaining tfio national verdict Tho
z plea hlthoito advanced alike by Liberals
and by Conservatives for a second legis
lative chamber Is that It averts precipitate
i action and assures the exorcise of a thor
oughly Informed deliberate judgment By
permitting tho Lords to reject a bill passed
by tlio Commons tho BritIsh Constitution
c virtually proidea torn species ot rrft rem em
llko that practiced In Switzerland Fur tho
t 1 normal result of a collision between tho two
Houses on a question of great moment is a
zr dissolution of Parliament and In the ensu
ing genera election tho constituencies are
y practUally called upon to vote for or against
t tho particular law in controversy
When therefore In thecnso foro1 Laid
SALISBURY persuaded a majority of tho
J Peers to reject the Franchise bill unless I
should bo lecompanle by a scheme for r
distribution tho purpoit of his action was to
dVuy that tho present house of Commons
now in tho fourth year of Itexistence really
reflects tho wishes of tho nation in this mat
v ter and to challenge them to provo tim gee
z ulueuess of their mandate by uu appeal to
tho electors Had tho chitlleiitfi been ac
4 cepted and had tho ndvocntca of tho Fran
citbo bill in iti pro ent form obtained a largo
majority of tho now Houso of Commons
Lord SAMBIIUHY would unquestIonably
t7 have yielded to tho peremptory unequivocal
announcement of tho popular resolve Hat
be indeed still proved Intractable tho Min
istry would havo been Justified ent
Ihy II1u Justh by prcceden
In applying the most stringent pressure to
L the house of Lords For tho lawful powers
Qf the Peers would b exhausted as regards
ff the composition of the constituencies by

Interposing some delay they had enabled
tho existing voter who are tho real parties

himself afraid t face the constituencies In

qualified voters ho has forthwith appealed t
tim passions of tho nunvoting class Hn Is
attempting from tho outset to browbeat his I
opponents with riotous processions and tu I
multuous assemblies Instead of first inviting
hem to met him at tho ballot box He Is I
to use the language of tho bar punishing a
proper application for an order ol reference

mrontly well counselled him for had hn dls

prove successful For forco Is force and tho
peoples voice is irresistible oven when only
hypocrites would describe It as the voice of

the onslaught on tho Houso of Lords may bo

Queer Features ofthe Rlilnclnndcr Case
Early In this month an application was
made before Mr Justice LAWRENCE holding
Chambers of the Supremo Court to admit
WILLIAM C RIUWLAXI tho wouldbo
murderer of JOHN DRAKE a lawyer of this
city to bal Upon the argument wo believe
no doubt was expressed by tho prisoners
counsel as to the sanity of tho accused In
fact I the case bo correctly reported Mr
GEORGE M CURTIS claimed that Ito shooting
of the lawyer was justified and lu support of
this view ho advanced tho somewhat daz
zling theory that It Is quite proper to shoot
town any lan who attempts to make a
woman think 111 of her husband Judge
LAWRENCE on July 5 rendered his decision
saying I am unwilling to admit the pris
oner to bal on tho certificate presented from
the house surgeon of Roosevelt Hospital
Writ dismissed and prisoner remanded
This decision was right and moreover
oven If the victim bo recovering tho dis
cretion vested In tho Judge should not bo
exercised In favor of a piUoner whose crime
ias apparently been wanton and unprovoked
Slnco tho denial of the motion by Judge
JAWitENCE an Indictment for assault has
been found against RIUNEIIANDER The In
dictment contains two counts one for assault
lu the first degree which Is punishable by
Imprisonment for not less than five nor
more than ten years the other count charg
lug an assault In the second degree punish
able by Imprisonment for five years or lessor
or by a fine of a thousand dollars or by both
imprisonment and fine
Mr DRAKE the Injured man Is still in the
hospital and It Is said that none of tho phy
sicians attendance upon him is willing to
say that ho Is out of danger Now I this bo
so why was tho pending Indictment for as
sault found Why did not tho District At
torney walt a few days longer until Mr
3iiAKE was cither dead or convalescent I
Mr DRAKE should die the Indictment should
be for murder I he should recover UIIINE
LAXDEII should then be tried for assault lu
ho first degree or assault with lut < nt to kill
The finding of tho Indictment Its present
form at this time would seem operate only
In favor of an application to admit the ac
cused to bal and such a motion was made
before Recorder SMYTH on Monday At the
same time an application was made for tho
appointment of a commission to examine
RniNKLANDEii anti report to tho Court us to
his sanity Tho motion was based on affidavits
davits of Dr MACDONALD the superintend
ent of the Words Island Asylum and Dr
HARDY Dr MACDONALD it will be remom
bored was employed soon after tho crime to
vNIt tho Incipient lunatic but as some sane
men havo been confined on Wards Island It
is t bo hoped that tho commissioners will
not regard tho opinion of these experts as
conclusive
The queer feature of all this matter Is that
tho defence of Insanity abandoned by tho
prisoner and by his counsel three weeks ago
I now revamped aud brought forward again
almost contemporaneously with tho return
of thEm prisoners family from Europe Does
a clearer mental vision tell the lends of
tho accused that tho only chance for him t
escape from the consequences of his crime
Ics now in tho assertion of tho insanity
theory 1
Reorder SIITTU denied tho motion to ad
mit RHINELANDER to bal in these words
A conimlison hatlnv been lituril to txemlne Into
ho panlly or Insanity of the defendant on affidavit
tlionlnx the defendant to be now tniane the motion to
discharge him on hall must be denied but with liberty
to reiww on the conilu < in and continuation of the
commissioners report
Tho only criticism wo have to make on the
language of the Recorder Is that It seems t
assume that tho report will be that the pris
oner Is Insane Recorder SMYTH has what Is
uncommon In our criminal courts I good
knowledge of criminal law but It Is to b
hoped that In this case ho will not confirm
any report finding the guilty man Insano
without having some stronger reason for his
action than tho prima facie case which Is
usually produced on these examinations Yot
tho District Attorney who Is by tho Code of
Criminal Procedure bound to attend before
the commission and vigilantly contest tho
qucatlon should not by Inaction let tho
effort of tho prisoners counsel succeed
Tho Elevated Stations
I Judgo VAN HOEHENH decision as to an
elevated railway station being a trespass
and a nuisance shall bo sustained our rapid
traublt companies will encounter 1 new and
very serious trouble Already their stock Is
rogauled as a very risky securIty because
of probable anti possible future obligations
anti expenses and If their right to build
tholr stations In tho air on the street corners
is i denied they are likely to bo subjected
to largo outlay besides that for other prop
erty damages and for renovations or recon
structions of their elevated tracks
I Is truo however that In many cases tho
occupants of property adjoining tho htatlons
are not less anxious than the companies
themselves that the structures should ho re
tained as they are Tho station stimulates
trade lu Its Immediate vicinity So far from
Injuring business the majority of traders
very likely would testify to Its advantages
to them Yet there are enough t com
plain to load the companies with a heavy
sustained burden of expense I Judgo VAN HOESKN 1

i
Uw moot dI Ib1 railway property In tho
country Toy have a traffic which Is scarcely
affected no matter what tho times aro and
It is steadily Increasing Bo fa thoy havo
no direct competitors for tho surface horse
cars cannot bo regarded a such and
It will bo long before any rival scheme
of rapid transit can bo completed Probably
oven If we had an underground road or u
sunken road tho elevated railways would
continue to prosper 80 great is the demand
for longitudinal transit and so many are tho
advantages of travelling up In tho air
Tho running expenses of tho elevated
roads aro also comparatively low and their
raffle is exclusively that which Is tho most
profitable for a railroad They ought t
b making a dividend on their stock
heavily watered as It I Yet the stock is
not In demand and very tow Investors are
willing t touch It at all while tho shares of
horse railroads at a great premium
Bitter as the opposition against thor In
somo quarters is it must not b forgotten
that those elevated railroads have boon of
Incalculable benefit to Now York They wore
tho first to give us rapid transit and tho
damage they havo dono t proporty such as
It is is exceeded many fold by the increase In
ho value real estate brought about by their
facilities for communication Still It looks
as I hero were stormy times ahead for tho
elevated roads
A Fatal Submission I
I the Democratic party so Insignificant
so divested of the Ideas that formerly in
spired it and carried it safety through such
trials and disasters as only a party endowed
with Immortal principles could survive that
our valued Democratic contemporary from
tho gallant State of Kentucky tho wrifr
Journal should thus comment upon tho
nomination of tho Democratic candidate 7
The nomination of Coy Cttrittxo U I due not 10
much to the preference of his part nt to t the general de
mand of the country for a candidacy rhlch ttaide for
ireoluly the qualities and service which aronoclated
nlth hIs name
Mr CLEVELAND was nominated then not
because ho was tho cholco of tho Democrats
but because a lot of disgusted Republican
loving been driven from tho ranks of their
own organization by tho nomination of
JLAINE cried for a candidate whom they
might vote for without departing from their
Republican principles or sacrificing too
much of their Republican prejudices
Could there bo greater folly than for a
party within reach of victory representing
ho majority of tho voters to throw away Its 1
own ideas and adopt those of a scattered and I
disordered faction of tho party to which It
has been traditionally opposed I
The Name of American
Our esteemed contemporary the TWZmne
has been trying for some time to establish a
parallel between JAMES U BIAINC and
3coi < aE WASHINGTON I will derive encour
agement from tho discovery that the groat
thoughts of these statesmen sometimes took
almost Identical forms of expression
One of tho noblest and most patriotic sen
timents In Brother B AINES letter of acceptance
Is edln this
ceptance conveyed language
The name of American which belong to Its In our
national capacity mint ntwiyi exalt the Juit pride ot
mtrlotttin
When the same idea occurred to OHOROE
WASHINGTON expressed It lu his Farewell
Address in nearly tho same words
The name of American which belonxi to you In
your national caracltv muit always exult the Joel pride
o if patrlotltm more than any appellation derived from
local dlicrlmlnatlont
The recorded utterances of WASHINGTON
however Including the vast number of his
private letters that have come down to us
may bo searched nnd searched In vain wo
> olleve for any passage In tho slightest de
gree resembling the earnest pledge of alle
giance with which BiiAlNE concluded his let

Interest In the Little Rock and Fort Smith
speculation I do not feel that I shall provo
a dmdhon in tho enterprise If I once em
bark in it I see various channels In which I

In every political campaign Offices are not

first To resign the office of Governor and

This voluntary retirement would relieve the
Governor from any Imputation of lining the
Executive power for his personal advantage
It would remove an element of discord In tho

To THE EDITOH op Time SUN Sir I was
A eloso observer of tho proceeding of tho lato

inside movements
Machine rule dominated it from beginning to

In New York know positively that Tllden would

ago ns well a they do now Their plan was to
keep this fuel out of sight to use Tildena

and than use thorn for Cleveland as second

The dolouatloiiH from othor States were

The assertions of the Albany machine that

It has shown that with discipline soluble clothing

touso men vin live there In perfect health and comfort
for a considerable Io of time This fact Is corrobo
rated by Lieut Ca e experience at Point Harrow where
itt two years he never r JeIC man oJn I f report and

Lieut Ortely literally accomplished I everything ha

Tho Toulon correspondent of the Paris f7nn
lots liii had another Interview with the celebrated Dr
Koch who stick to the theory that the cholera le I the
work of microbe or microscopic orgaulvm which are
taken Into the syateni null food and water All nmy
autopsies said the Doctor leave I no doubt whatever
In regard to the Asiatic character of tha plague I have
round precisely the same phenomena as were discovered
In the cases that I studied In India l The microbes were
tho name and were more numerous than In case
that I Sieve examined In Egypt helen Strauss and
Rout who were present at the autopsies also recog
nized lu Egypt the presence of the Indian microbe but
I was always accompanied by others but ID the cases
here In Toulon the Indian microbe has an extraordinary
preponderance In addition to Its other destructive
qua Mies this mlorobe secrete a genuine poison which
produces Insensibility nnd bring on the dry cholera
which Is I the most deadly and rapid of all As I have al 1
ready old the contamination to not carried In the air
but le brought about through the absorption of the mi
crobes that Infest alimentary matter and particularly I
water
And this theory said the Sauloli correspondent
explains your advice to the authorities to close the
wells to order people l to drink only water that had been
boiled or taken from distant localities
Irccly said 1 the Doctor And It I also neces
sary to lake only food that la well cooked for bear In
mind the microbe dies In a high and above all In a dry
temperature The tnt precaution to take L to subject
the beiTclothlnic of the victims to
Ictm a high temperature
slOt dry air and acid
Ih pimento more or lets I condensed
The microbe cannot live In condensed solutions of phonic
add or In dry air I must not bo forgotten that I de
teloys and mu tlpllea In humidity I ha been found In
the ponds of the countries where cholera exists Acting
upon this theory I advised the closing and thorough
heating of the apartment InfecUd
Correspondent What la I your opinion Doctor as to
the origin of limo present epMemlct
Dr KochI believe It U I safe to say that In view I of
the precautions taken by the navy the cholera could
only have boll brought here by some merchant vessels
probably by an HnglUh shlpt for on board English ves
sels I there Is little scruple l about concealing the deaths
during a voyago or about fatslf lug the books
Time IorIs says that German societies have bought up
alt the phenla acid lu the market and ure now selling It
at double Its value while at the same time German eel
entlno lectures are being widely published lu which the
use of pimento add Is I stroifftly recommended a a pro

Commissioners yostordny that the analysis of
time water of an artesian well 1007 feat deep

Ing down town showed it to bo unfit to drink
being contaminated with sewage Dr Edsons

Dr Kdson Is ot the opinion that the water of

that eltlcleint means should taken to prevent

the use of well water for drinking and culinary
purposes should be prohibited and Its use for
tiny purpORO should bo restricted to those who
have permits from the Health Department
The Health Board notified the owner of the
building whoso well water Is particularly dan
gerous to discontinue Its use The Board will
