Fridey Mornineg, June 13, 1875, Tho Michigan State Medical Society (AllS- pathic) yesterday tabled n resolution de- Tnogneing tho introduetion of n Homeopathic oloment in the Univ Roynl junkatings arotho fash just mow. "ho King and Queen of Sweden have recently paid a stato visit to the Court of Denmark, whero they wera received with great cordiality and magnificent hospi- tality. ‘Tho usunl interchauge of assurances of distinguished cousideration and everlnat- ing friendship wos gono through with, and evarybady was happy. A curions coincidence haa been discoverad in connection with the mysteriona disappear- nnce of the packnge of $47,000 from the ‘Tressury vaults. Some years ago 320,000 woa * found missing)” in a similarly unaccounta- blo woy, and tho Trensurer rocovered $6,000 through a Now York bank, where it lad been secrotly deposited to his credit. It is now remembered snd remarked that o cortain gentleman, name ot given, who visited tho "Trensury vaults on the dny of the provious robbery, was on the premises in company with some friends on the day the $47,000 disappeared. No positive assumption of guilt is deduced from the coincidence, but it furnishes food for cogitation on the part of tho puzzled detootivo: Prof. Janney, the geologist sont ont by the TIntorior Dopartment to report upon the ques- tion of precious metals in the Black Hills, found himeelf at tho morcy of the miners and teamstors sccompanying his expedition. Although employed by the Government and well paid for their sorvices, the shrowd fol- lows gave Prof, Jannzy to undorstand that, unless thoy wore allowed to pre-ompt claims, thoy could not be rclicd upon to furnish truthfal roports of thoir discoveries, but that, on the contrary, they would bo tompted 10 omit all montion of the rich finds, reserv- ing the knowledga for their privato bonefit hereaftor. Undoer such circumstances, the oxpodition would prove a failure, and nothing was left but to allow the mon to locate claims in the usual way. Satarday will bo celebrated at Machias, Me., 08 tho centonninl anniversary of the first saval battle betweon the Colonics and the slother Country. June 12, 1775, the British schooner Margarotts, which had convoyed into Machins Bay two vessols sent from Bos- ton to obtain logs, pickets, ote,, for the Brit~ ish entrenchimonts around that city, wns at- tacked and captured by a party of sixty Maine flshermen ond lumbermen. 'The Captain of the vossel aud tho commander of the attack- ing party woro both Irishmon. The trouble began with the attempt of tho former to cut down & liberty-pole in Machias upon the re. coipt of tho news from Loxington, and endod with the eapture of two other Dritish war. vessels besides the Margarotta, Great prop. orations have been mado for the centennial, Bpeechios, dinners, firoworks, and veterans of the War of 1812 are on the programmo, Let us hopo that none of the speoch-mnkers will shook the Maching patriots by telling thom that Rhode Island fought the first naval bat- tlo and captured the Gaspos some years bo- fore Manchins mede awny with the Margaretta, Referring to an o rocently printed in Tax Ouoado Totmune, concorning the loss by firoin this country since the 1at of Jann- ary, in which it was shown that Chicago is au well protocted against fire na any other city, and that Chicago hins done and is dolng more than any other city to protect itself in the tutaro, the New York World says : Torm Tatsune J sistaken in assuming, »a 1§ appeara 4o, et tho dogres of bazard in any locality can b wslculated from ihe experionce of & fow months, and squally mistakon in sayiug that the other citios are not dolng snythiog o increue their protoction sgainst fre. New York, for exsmiple, Js dolng much, and tha World 15 eonstantly urging the doing of much mora, ‘This atory is getting to be a littlo tedions, It Now York s doing much, what {s it? Will not the Now York Worid inform us of tho moasures that are taken for better protection aguinst fire, so that we may have the benefit of thom in Chicago? Wae are anxious to do all wa can in this direction, Will not the TWorld, for instance, inform us what the own- e of the uixty-nine Lotels in New York, which hLave beon officlally announced as firo- txaps, are doing to moke them esfo? Wo want all the light we can have on thisim. portant subject. It isall very wollto eay New York {s doing much, but what is she do- ing? Tho World hes already been informed ‘what Ohicago isdoing, has done, and will do, ] The Ohicago produce merkets were gen. erally alow yeuterdsy, Moas pork was quiet and 8o per brl higher, closing easier at $10.40 @10.45 cash, and §19.50 for July. Lard was guiot and a ghado frmer, closing at $18.50@18.55 oash, and $18.60 for July, Moats wero quict and tirmat 8o for shoulders, 1130 for short ribs, and 1130 for short clears, Highwines wera in good demand, and jo ‘iigher, at 1,17} per gallon. Lake fraights were rather qulet and essler, at 2J@0 for waa dull and Jo lower, closing at 680 cash, and 69{c for July. Oats were irrogular, closing at 60jo cash, and 58jc for July, Rye wns quict at 880, Barloy was quict nnd firm at £1,25 eash, and £1,08@1.0 for September. Hlogs wero in active demand, snd advauced 10c—sales chiefly at B7.25@7.35, Cattle wera nelivo nud ensy. Sheep wore dull and unchanged. Another ocenn steamer hna gone down, nnd with hor, it is thought, somo forty persons. This timo the disnster was unavoidable, tho &hip having como in contaet with one of thoso immenso fee fields which are much later this year than usual in reaching the warmer lati- tndes. The steamship Vieksburg, with fifty or wore persons on board, including passen- gerd ond crow, bound from AMontreal for Liverpool, ctcounterel luge masses of ico when threo days out from the former port, nnd while endeavoring, by taking o tontherly conrse, o make her way into clear water, eollided with & honvy floo with such forco ns to cut through her planking, causing her to sink in a fow hours. Fivo of the crow, who tool to nsmall boat and wero rescued by a passing vessol, arrived in Now York yesterdny. "Thoy tell a pitiful atory of their sufferings while making their way slowly and Inboriously landward, and also give n detalled account of tho disaster. According to their own statement, thoy wera within a short distanco of tho mnking ship for wovernl hours,—these five men in a boat presumably capablo of carrying twenty.five persons, ‘Lhoy state that auothor boat was Iannched soon after thoy left tho ship, and with its eargo of nine men pushed off ns they did and left those remaining on board to look out for themselves; that the Captain called to those in thetirst-named boat toreturn to tho ship, but that such a course was im- practicablo because the bont was partially filted with water st the time of being launched, and hiad become unmonngenble; thnt they thus, during those hours of peril to those on the steamer, had no opportunity to bail out their bont nnd go to the rescua of tho unfor- tunnte beings who were slowly but surely go- ing down ; that they finally saw the ship sink, and took no measures to render asiktance to those who must havo floated about on tho seattered debris from the wreek, and finally through exhaustion #unk to rise no more. It is to be hoped that tho other boat's crew have been resoued, and that their story ot this foarful disnster may bo lenrned. OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM, Tho continued upwnrd tendency in the promium on gold hns induced many persons to assume thnt the act of the last Congress, fixing 1879 a3 the date of resumption of spo- cie payments, and the actual retirement of a few millions of greenbacks, have boen a failure, so far a8 lending to specie paymenta. ‘I'his inforenco is not n fair one, The nct of Congress mentioned was nover oxpocted, nor waa it intended, to bring about tho resump- tion of specie payments. It was morely a step in that direction ; something to direct publie attention to that end. 'The trath is, spacie paymenta cannot be ordered into offcct by nct of Congrass; tho most that Congroxs oan safely do ia to o reform its commercinl and financial legisiation ng to leave a return to spocie payments possible. Whon trade and commerce ors onco unfottored, then trade and commorce will sottle down on s speclo basis. The reforms noedod in our commercinl policy are two-fold : The frredeempble greon- Lack must bo got rid of, and the embargo wmust be token off our export of manufac- tures. The inflatjonists have insisted that the existing volume of ourrency was inade- quate for the domands of the country, and, while opposing contraction, they have favored inflation, Another of their demnuds was for nioro banks,~—that the West and Bouth wero donled a fair proportion of the banks, and henco * money was scarco” in those sections, But Congress removed all restrictions upon banking, mnde it porfoctly fres, allowed any compnuy of persons anywhero to organize a National Bank and to issuo notes; but this privilego has not been aceepted to any extent; tho Nationnl Bauk ciroulation has sotually docrensed, showing that the ronl want was not of currency, but of capital. I'ho currency in ciroulation is far in excess of what is necded. It i impasaible for Con- gress intelligontly to regulate by law tho amount of curroncy that should be in use, ‘That should bo left to regulate itself. Con- grosa has modo banking free, thus furnishing the ngonoy through which an expansion may take place, when an expausion may bs de- mandod by the wants of the country. But this agency can nover operats auccessfully so long a8 irredecemable greenbacks as o legal. tondor arein circulation, Those must be re- tired. 'Thoy ave n disturbing eloment;an arti- ficinl and fluctunting standard of values, The propor mode, and the one least likely to producy confusion, isto authorize their funding in s bond with a low rdte of interost, gay 4 per cent, If thoro be too much curs rency nflont, it wouldl seek this form of in. vestment, This privilego of funding would furnish & praotical teat at once of the ques- tion whethor the curroney wos in excoss of the demand or mot. Wo have no question thet the large part of thom would bo funded washiin o comparatively short time, Having froo banking, there can be no danger of a want of Turrency to meot any actual demand of trado. Indeed, in case of any sudden stringency in the money market, these bonda themaclves could bo readily used s currency in the paymont of large sums, and would be as rendily accopted sa if they were green. backs, The noxt reform i in removing the ob- atacles to exportation of manufactures, The United States have the raw materisls for all branches of manufacture in chesper and greater abundanco and varioty than any other country. Wo have iron, load, copper, and other motals, with conl in inezhaustible quantitles. ‘The deposits of these are not confined to afow localities, but are gonoral throughout the country, We have extenaive forests furnishing nlmost every varloty of wood, Wao have limitless land for sheop. ralsing and wool.growing, and vast plains on which are fed herds of caltle, furnishing enough hidea to supply the world with leather, We have almost a monopoly of tho bottor grades of cotton. In addl. tion, we havo that which mno other manufacturing nation has, an abundance of chenp food. We have & most extonsive sys- tom of intornal transportation, bringing all parts of the country in close communication, Notwithstanding that we bave the raw mate. rlal, with fuel and food, and ought to be the great manufaoturing nation of tho esrth,—in. stend of utilizing these great elements with ‘which Nature has so bountitully sapplied us,— we ore, by law, limited in production to the exaol measuremont of our domostio wants, ‘wheat {0 Duffalo. Flour was quiet aud un. changed. Whsat waa active and 1c lower, closing at 80} oaab, and 9740 fozJuly, Qorn When we want anything from abroad, we have ' to send breadstulls and pro. vislonhy & mw collon, or gold, s pay for them. Instend of boing mannfacturers of cottor and of woolen goads, of leatiior and of iron nud steel, and sonding these ta all pnris of the world to exclinnge for ather products we niny need, wo manufnctura these in tho limited extent needed to mect tho home demand and pay for all else in bread- atuffa or gold. 'Thal is the inexorable poticy of the lnw, The Jaw practically prohibis thie production of an export srplus to purely agricultural products, When tho iron, cot- 1on, woolon, wooden, paper, andother manu. fncturers find themselves with n stock groater than tho home demnnd roquires, instead of sending the surplus abroad for sale, they closo their mills, or run them on reduced time, nud dischinrgo their Inborers until such timo ns thiey can work off their old atocks. The Inbor that is employed on that braneh of produc- tion {s not engaged on nn average of more than two-thirds its time, nnd the Iabor that might bo employed profitably upon the production of i large surplus for exportation is not utilized at all. The raw mntorinls aro Ieft unused, and the lnbor that might be em- ployed in gathering them hns no ocenpation. T'his ruinous, wasteful policy is imposed by Inw, Itisna ruinousto tho mauufcturers and to their Inbor as it is to tho prasperity of the conntry, It stands in the way of any ro- turn to a healthy finoucinl condition. Itisa restriction upon production, a prohibition of any gurplns, o limitation upon what be may sell, o waste of Iabor and material, When the crops of Europe aro large and the de- mand for onr breadstuffs nndprovisions light, then our main exports fail to meet our cur- rent oxchangos, and we bave to send gold to meet the deficioncy. ‘Then the promium on gold rises and the value of tho currency falls. Our manufactures, instead of nveraging one-tenth or less of our total exports, ought to equal if not oxceed the mggregate of the exports of the farm and the forest. Wo ought really to have no occasion to export gold, and we can have no sound financial wkystem until wo make our manufacturing ox- ports equal to thoso of the farm, and until ol men engaged in industrial pursuita pro- duce something to sell in addition to what they consume, With the retirement or funding of the greenbneks, and the modifieation of tho rove- nue laws 60 that wecan manufacturo not only for home consumption but also for ex- portation, thoreby giving employment, and continuous omployment, to a vastly-incrensed pumber of Iaborers, the business of the country will at once adjust itself to the standard of specio values and the monoy of tho civilized world. 4 A WHISKY CAMPAIGN. A gentleman holding rather intimate rela- tions with oflicial bodies, and presumably familiar with the tricks of the trade, recontly wade the remark, the * prosccution of the whisky-men is going to damago the Repub- lican party,” that thoy *“aro all good fol- lows, and command a great many votes,” and that they *‘ought to bo let alone.” Wo Lhave no desiro to comment on the pecaliar moral- ity of this proposition, but give it as tho sentiment of o certain class who look upon a politienl party as a more vehicls for reaching office, and beliove in resorting to every de- vice for sustaining this general purposo. It is thoe oxistenco of such a sentiment which nlone threatous a defoat of the roform move- ment in the revenuo servioe which President Graxr and Secrotary Brwstow have inaugu- rated, We havo reason to believe that there is already an organized offort cither to defeat the purpose of the whisky prosoentiona or to make the topublican party suffer for having a Prosident who commenced them. 1t is, the polioy of thoe highwine-ring and thoir rotainers to postpone the trials for fraad, and to impose oun the courts to this ond. Before this timo, all the distillers, man- ufacturers, dealors, and officinls agninst whom the Government has sufliclont evi- denco to warrant a prosecution, ought to have boen indioted and the day set for their trial, All the evidonce upon which the distilleries and rectifying cstablishments have been seizod would then be forthcoming, and wher- over there Lias boen froud thers would ba no diffeulty in making out a case. If tho sus- pected persons can socare a aufficiont delay, they may sot up various plans for escape, Witnesses will undoubtedly be tampered with; somo of them will disappear, and others will forget what thoy now know, The prosecutions will Joso much of their ardor, nnd oue postponomont will opan the way for another. It Is evidently the policy of the ring men tocarry over theso progocutions until the Presidential campoign fairly opons, If mue- cassful in this attempt, thoy will go into both Conventions and use thely power to control nominations, in the first place. After that, they will go into the campaign with all the 1money and reaources at their command, with tho purpogo of ruling or ruining the Repub. lican party, Their inflaence unquestionably oxtonds in many and varlons ways. They control many bankers, brokers, and eapital. Ists, with whom they hold rolations, “Lhey oan always cordmand tho universal sllegiance of the whisky.dealers, The wholesalo danlers moko from 16 to 20 conts n gallon more on 4 grooked " whisky than on whisky which pays the tax, and sell it to the rotailers at the full price. Thoy may, therefors, be counted on toa man, snd each ona of them controls n cortain number of votes, Tho distillers know all this,and the politicians know it, If,then, the prosecution of the frauds can ba delayed until the Presldential campaign opens, tho whisky-men will be in o position to threaten the Republican politicians with throwing all their influence in favor of the Domoorats un. leas the casos are droppod or compromised, It it comes to this, the politiclans may suc. coed in having the cqsea dropped, whiok will destroy the confidonce of the respeotable classos in the sincerity of Republican reformn, and bring certain defeat. If thoy are not dropped, the ring will do all they can towards defesting the Republicana with the votes at their command. This is undoubtedly the programmo, and a very shrowd, long-headed, and far-reaching oneitis. If the whisky-men shall be suc- cessful in carrylng it out, tho honoat poople in the Republican party willhave to put forth thoir bost efforta to roatraln the politiclans “from acoeding to theirdemands, But no such duty should be put upon honest Republicans. The issue should not be parmitted to present itself. The Courts ought not to allow the whisky.men to run these trials into the Pres- idential campaign. Evory oconsideration of justico domands a prompt indictment aud 6 apoedy trial. A postponemont at this tino ocarrlos the casos over the usnal summer vacation of the Judges, which fa peouliarly favorable to the purposs of the “ crooked " whisky manufacturers and denlors, But {n » gigantlo corruption, which extends throughout the eountry and affects the politios and finances of ths entire pacpls, the Oourts aught to make any and every por. sonal sacrifics nevessary fo il Lamsdiste proscaution, 1f the whisky.ring can bo Droken np now, it will atay broken for n long timo to conte, and the rovonuo will gain mill- ions of dollars, and taxes on tho necessaries of lifo may bo reduced. Ifonesty ns a senti- niont will be promoted, and confidence in the Government will bo strongthened. THE ALDERMEN AS CANVASSERS, The particular organ of the repeators and allot-box stuffors—the Chicago Z'imes— degconds to tho level of its coustituents in criticlsing the action of the Courts, It not merely attacks Judge Wintsans in the vileat of billingsgate, but it argucs the caso in a vein of sophistry that conld ouly decciva the most ignorant aud stupid renders, For in- stance, Judgo WinLians assumes that the validity of tho act of 1872 was tho matter ab issuc, and said: ““If there wero no majority of votes oast upon the ¥3d of April for the charler, then it fa not now the chartor.” To this the organ of tho repenters replies : tow was it {o be ascertained whether & mafority of ‘voten were given for tho charter or not? The law #yecified haw the fact should bo arcertalned, namely, by a canvass of the votes, Wirriana assunied to en- Jotn tho canvassing of tho votes,—to pravont thio ancer- taining of the fact whetlier a majority of the votcs wers givou for the charter or not, The validity of the sct as au exlating chartor of Chicago deponded on the resutt of tho canvaasing which WiLLiass sasumed to enjoin. Thoact could not ba dutermiued o be valid o an exiating charler of tho city by any oflier process, and thin process, WiLLiaxs eald, tho Court wonld pro- vent, Aud, though the pravention of the lawful pro- conn of nacertalning whethor & majority of votes woro #iven for the sct or not was tho subject matter upon which the ncton of Wirrzans must tsko elfect, tho pettitogging derungogue has the unbluslilng offrontory to say that the validisy of the act as an oxiating ehar- fer wan {ha subjoct mattor of tho bill1 This state- ment of WILLIANA fn what the lato Dr, GrrxLrey would liayo ealled & * pornpicactoun and sublima le,” The infallible Council las canvassed and announced tho result ; do wo now know that thero wns o majority of votes cast for the chartor? Dedidedly not; if weo know any- thing about it, we know that there was not n majority, notwithstanding the opposite has beon declared by the Council. Avoto s only n voto when it is legal, when it {8 cast by a legal voter, at a proper place, and in the manner and form provided by law. When tho Council *canvagsed” the voto on the charter, thoy @id not undertake to inquire into auy of the nlleged frauds and irregulari- ties of the olection, They did not nsk whether the votos were legally cast; whether thero wars soparate boxes for the separate ballots; whothor the judges of election wero sworn ; whethor thore were afy lists of those voting; whethor thera were tho usual guards ngainst repeating and ballot-box stufling re- quired by law, In one word, they simply looked over tho total footings sent into them, without scrutinizing or inquiring into the character of the roturns, Now cither it was thoe duty of tho Council, in canvassing the vote, to inquire into the truth or falsoness of the enormous frauds so amply attested, or it was not. If this was their duty, thay uttely failed to do it, and it cannot bo claimed that their mers announce- ment of n majority procured by repeating and ballot-box stufing would give an actual and legal majority, If it was not their duty, undor the Inw, to go back of the returns of tho unsworn judges of the election whioch thoy hed before thom, and inquire into al- leged Lallot-box stuflng and othor frauds, then their canvaes is slmply pro jforma, ond without any significance excopt in those cnsos where no charge of fraud ia made. In cither case—nand the canvass by the Qouncil must be one or the other— the canvass was & more farco, The orgon of tho repentors would have us believe that tho: mero opening of fraudulont returns by tho omnipotont Council st once makes them legal and binding; and so it pours out the viala of ita wrnth upon Judge Wirriaus bo. causo ho refases to aubsaribe to so absurd a proposition. The legal voters of Chicago would be practically disfranchisod if the T'imes' position is a correot one, and if tho more declaration of & majority of tho Com. mon Council constitutes a logal majority in all oity eloclions, no matter how great the frauds. POOR BPAIN, Onco more the old familiar stary «f dtiastar and distrons comes from Spain., In one duy, the Alphonsists are twico badly defeated by the Carlists, losing nearly'a thousand prison. ers and large quantitics of stores, arms, and ammupition, A new Goneral lias bgen placed at the head of the Alphonsist army. A new Minister of War has beon appointed. Bat supplics of tho sinows of war still pour over tho French frontior for Don Oanros, Neither Franco nor Germany pay any attention to the complainta from Madrid, Bisytanror ovidently feoling that the Government of Don ALrionso is too wonk to do anything that would be oither agreeablo or disngreeable to Ger. many, BMoanwhilo the news comes very woll suthonticaled that the Govern. ment of Don Avrmonso ia tottering, and that the so-calloed Republicans of Madrid Are once mors wmoving against the monarchy, Thus poor Spain returns to its normal condi. tion of onarchy once mnore, with an inter. necine war consuming her very vitals, with the Ouban war sgaiust a bandful of patriots draining hor rceources dsy by day, and a powerful opposition plotting a coup d'etat. It ia now tolerably certain that Spain can. not put down tho Cuban rebollion on the one hand wor the Carlist uprising on the other. Don Oancos has beld his gronnd for years, He made his last uprising when Amapxus came to the throne. At the outuet, he was almost without followers, money, orarma, He bhasocoupied asmall mountainous strip of coun. try akirting the French frontier, bearing aboat the same relation in size to the rest of Spain that Toxas does to the United States, and ho hog nevor been driven frowm it, On the other hand, he has gained control of some sddl. tional territory. 1le commenced with very fow small arms, and thess of an inferlor kind, and withont & single cunnon. He now has plenty of rifies of an improved class and s wall stocked with canoon, partly obtained by capture and partly by purchinse. 1iis handful of bandita has grown inta & well-drilled army of 45,000 soldiers, and an equal number of second-rates, With this material ho has more than held Lis own through the guccessive ad. ministrations of AwaprUs, OasTrsan, BxrraNo, and Don Avenoneo, Mo haa gained groond all the time, not so much in the increass of territory held by him as ig tho strengthoning of himself with the material of war, with money, and with a sympathy whioh has grown out of tle fact that the Bpanish Govern. ment has not infiicted any harm upon him; that it never can inflict any harm upon him so long as the war is conduoted as at present ; and that the Spanish Government cannot con. duot a war in any othor mansar, for the simpla renson that tho Bpanish people ata run out in blood, in civilization, in physical resources, in finsnces, and in fighting quali. tles, The Bpanlsh Government has almost no resouroe laft upon which to draw, Don Cantos has & rich sad ready ane, namely, Euwropsas Ulamonianism, In theforsign ud. vices in yeaterdny's papers it is montioned that the Princess Winptaonanatz, of Austria, ling sent 300,000 florins, or abonut £1.40,000, to Don Oanrog. Thia ia a fair samplo of the tanner in which asyistance and sympathy are pour. ing in for the Carlist eange from Franco, Ire. Iand, Austrin, Italy, and even South Americn, When Avriosso eame to tho throne, he made a despernto effort to offact this Ly publicly proclaiming his unqunlified nllegianco to Ultramontainism, o prostrated himsolf at the feot * %0 Pope and nsked hin Dlessing, He sougi., to give o practical illustration of his Uliramontanism by brenking up sehools and colleges, and imprisoning and driving professors into oxile for refusing to tench infallibility, It was all iu vain, howover. Don Cantox is looked upon as a botter Ultra. twontanethan Arvnossodarabo, Thalatternot only cannot expeet Ultramontane nssistance and sympathy, but Lo enunot even expect the sympnthy of his own peoplo, Thero has never yot been an uprising of thé Spanish peoplo to put down Carlimm; if Ihere hea been, it would have beon put down long ago. Outside of the Alphonsist nrmy, the people bear about the snme relation to Carliam that tho Democratio party bore to the South dur- ing the War of the Itebollion, ‘They may make a foeblo show of oppasition to it, but nt beart sympathize with it, and In reality thero i no guaranteo of loyalty in the army itself. Wero Don Cantos to ascend the throne to-morrow, the army swould rally to his support just as enthusiasticnlly ns they now support Avnruoxso, The ontlook for Spain thereforo isa dark ono, T'ho intimations of o Ropnblican movement in Madrid mount to nothing, and, even if it wero successful, it would afford no rolief to that distracted country, A Iopublican Presidont wonld hold his sont until some one cnme along powerful enongh to pull him out of it, and he in turn would be doomed to n like fato.
