It la Impossible not to admire the grit of handful of British soldiers In under taking such military operations sup ported only by native troops. Nothing backs up the Muff but the invisible power of England, which sarage tribes hare learned to dread.

Peo ple who learn their trade the most thor oughly are sure of the highest remu neration. The late Lieut Got. Charles Ander aon, of Ohio, who received 101.000 majority on the Republican ticket In 1863, served as Governor for neveral months after Brough's death In AugUKt, 1865. Over fifty years ago Anderson, who was a brother of the commander at Fort Sumter, was in hia prime an an orator, and he did more to establish free schools In Ohio than any other man. Yet he has been a forgotten figure In politics for twenty-five years. One Lade, a Chicago veterinary sur geon, has ben arrested and fined for cruelly beating, pounding and kicking his horse. Fortunately some bystand ers found him at his brutal work and gave him a tante of the same kind of punishment he was'lufllctlng upon his horse, and then he was arretel, under the auspices of the Humane Society, and fined. The punishment was mere ly nominal for such Infernal cruelty. 'It Is a pity that he could not have been disbarred from ever again practicing upon horses for their ailments.

On the con tour. "Holland" the Senator counseled Arthur 'm' run and was inuch.displeased When he failed to fol low his advice. This is undoubtedly a correct statement of the affair, as "Holland" says that Gen. Arthur after tba convention told Mm "that Senator Conkling was clearly oppw to his accepting the nomination5 iflfoat he himself said to the Senator rwrft was rery high honor, one not likely to come a second time to any man; that It waa to be tendered In cordiality and that for that reaaon his own Judgment waa that he should accept It" Tto electric currents which pass trolley wirea are reported to Ke ta tha wmtar lofOsaarn, BoathOsaa- taewtnarBBwa.

" Considerable opernlatlon awakened lately by the has been t Bouncement of some British allenlats that ao far aa concerns the people of Great Britain Insanity la Increasing. The recently published report of the commissioners In lunacy for tha Brit ish kingdom shows a marked lncraaa In the number of the insane. The sta tistics indicate that twsnty-flre yesrs ago the proportion of Insane In the kingdom was 471 to 1,000,000 of popula T"" 1 . , Z . r.tto of to W00.000. Were tion. The figures for the year 1804 this Increase to be carried on at the same rate it Is easy to figure ont an alarming number of Insane jieople and a startling deterioration of the human race a couple of centuries hence. It is to be remembered, however, that much of this apparent Increase is superficial. In the first place, the advance of the alienist's science has caused the quick er apprehension of cases which a few years ago would have been Ignored as Instances of mere eccentricity. The In creased accommodations of theasylums. also, have resulted In a more general resort to their use than heretofore. Cases which some years ago would have been set down tut merely the result of senility are now classified among cer tain forms of mental diseane and count ed as such. Individuals who would formerly have been kept at home and obscured from the public statistician are now gent to the asylum and counted among the serious cases of aemetitla. Above all, the advance in the methods of collating and recording statistics has resulted In the counting of many cases which formerly would have escaped no tice. Wplghlng these considerations nt their full value, It will lie seen that the apparent growth of insanity in Great Britain may in fact be no growth at all. And as for insanity in this country, there is np reason to suppose that It Is becoming any more prevalent than in the eider land. The 'talk about the nervous temperament of Americans and the high tension under which they live and work has had the effect of securing an eauy credence for the stories of dangerous tendencies among the people. That there are tendencies Injurious to nerve and mind no one will deny. lint, taking all things Into con sideration and comparing the two coun tries off-setting one peculiarity with another there Is no renson to believe that the growth of insanity here is any more a matter for alarm than It is In Great Rrihiin. Csele Torpedo floats. They have two big white elephants at the New York navy yard Just now. it seems that the Navy Department des not know what to do with the torpedo boats built for the battle-ships Tpju and Maine. Thcw boats have failed to make the time required for torpedo service, and those designed for the Tex as will not lw lined, and It Is probable that those made for the Maine will not go with that ship. These boat cannot make more than eleven or twelve knots anbour.and, in the opinion of naval ex perts, that speed will be useless In bat tle. One of the torpedo boats of the Texas will be on exhibition at the At lanta Exposition. It Is probable that all of these torpedo boats will be used at the Annapolis naval academy by the cadets.

As a result of a consultation between the large coal producer, an advance was made In the line prices of anthracite coal. .There was no general agreement, but prices were put up from 15 to 25 cents a ton. The Fituiown advanced 25 cents. This advice, It is said, will maintain tha normal difference aa compared with tidewater figures. No advance will be made at this time, it is said, in freights on anthracite. The rate from the mine to tidewater ii fixed at 40 per cent of the selling price on tha bulk of the coal originated from independent operators. This, at the present price of coal, makes the rate from 11.40 on stove to f 1.30 on broken sizes. The fixed rate now is about 81.23. This rate is expected to be advanced m time, but in all probability cot until the market improves. Want Their Wages locraaaail. brmsurizaj. 111., Oct. 2.
