Tt is positively announced that Pres. ident ‘Wilson proposes to: take an ac- tive part in the political campaigns of his party the coming fall. This one fact of itself ‘leaves no deubt that the president is conscious that the contest is to be close with indications that his party will be de- féated if every effort is not made to save it from defeat. “Recent political tests applied in New York are alleged to show that ove half the representatives to congress from that state will probably be de- f"z.fl—(la political tide has turned and is against Wilson and his party. In November the people are going to rout the present dilatory congress and send to Washington a republican ma- jority. Every interest of this coun- try requires that this should be done.

The past week at Stamford, in this state, a descent of 212 feet was made by a diver, in an armor of steel and aluminum invented by a New York man. This suit the Springfield Repub- lcan says “weighs 300 pounds and the demoniacic war armor of old China.” This is nearly twice as deep as al diver ever went down before, and as | it takes the atmospheric pressure from the body of the diver, he may yet 2o to greater depths. The- deepest part of the ocean near the island of Guam is about 30,000 feet and dredging has shown very little marins life iri far shallower water, Much would be gained In the way of recovering valuables if divers could go down from 3,000 to 5,000 feet and successfully work. It is the deep diving apparatus which enables the camerz men to get real views of marine life and sea-gardens for use in moving picture houses, and thése pictures are among the most interesting shown, " EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘The only person who appears to en- joy the bumper crops is the middle- man, The driver who has a thirst should not forget his horse has one too, these days. < Congress still glares at Wilson, but it has become tame enough to eat out of his hand. ! ‘What a difference there is in the looks of a vacation the day before and the day after. ‘This is to be sald about the New Haven—it is just what “the promoters” have made it.

Anarchy is perhaps. one of tJe gentlest and most charming of theorics. It simply means that force be aban- doned and every man be a law unto himself. What this amiable end does to an impatient advocate we know too It is hard to understand how so“ pure a dream can make men as- sassins. The red angels of New York, “Sweat Marie” Gantz, Becky Edelson and oth- ers who openly urge the slaying of capitalists, have the eame ideals as Lincoln Steffens and Upton Sinclair; enly in the latter the enthusiasm tor millennial condition is “sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought” and is expressed in magazines, not on soap- boxes.

It _is not confined to our western In China there are a hundred or so bands of bandit robbers and thieves. It is curious to note that ai- most all of these are branches of a central secret society known as ‘The ‘White Lotus.” whose central article of faith is “universal brotherhood.” The Boxers, whose inhuman deéds brought on .the armed intervention of the allied armies of Europe; the White Woives, whose appalling depredations have recently threatened the very =x- istence of the new Chinese' govern- ment; the Elder Brothers, the Life Savers and other bands whose deeds of rapine and cruelty are almost beyond are all connected with the White Lotus organization, which pro- poses to introduce speedily the day of brotherhood. “A little learning is a dangerous thing,” it is said. And a little altruiswm, especially when it is contained in a violent, undisciplined mind, Is even more dangerous. It would be wel for all of us to re- member that we are not infallible, that our more fortunate brothers may be the victimis of evil economics as well as ourselves, and that, no matter what our gospel, it should always be tem- pered with human kindness.

One of the most comspicuous of wife polsoming in the annals ' Scottish Jurisprudence was that of Eugene Marie Chantrelle. The convicted poisoner was a Frenchman by birth, who on Aug. 11, 1868, married Blizabeth Cullen in Edinburgh. of his pupils In a fashionabl boarding school in which he was a teacher of the lan; . Before going to St Chantrelle had spent several years in America, although of his movements and occu- pations in this coumtry neothipg defi- ' nite is known. Almost from the first the marriage was an unhappy one. Again and again the wife com - pelled to take' refuge withy her' mother. Chantrelle had several es threat- ened to_take has life. Only the wife’s deep affection for their four children ' kept her from a separation. | To poison his wife had been Chadf- trelie's favorite term of threat. In October, 1877, he insured the life of his wite for. $5,000, the policy being 80 framed as to take effect omly in the case of her death by accident. Up to New Year's day, 1878, Mme. chantrelle had been in good health. She had aliowed her servant a holi- day on that day, amd with her hus- band and children remained at home. On_ the return. of the servant she found her mistress in bed with her baby beside her. - She complained of being ill and the servant administered to her and went to her own room. She left the light burning and heard nothing more during the night. ‘When the servant rose the follow- ing morning she heard a moaning sound proceeding from the room of her mistress and went to see the cause and discovered that Mme, Chan- trelle was unconscious, The girl at once summoned the husband who was asleep in an adjoining room, or ap- parently so. He came to his wife’s bedroom and sent the servant out of the room on a pretext and when she returned she found that there was a very strong smell of gas which she had not previously nbticed. The husband went for a physician and also directed, that his wife's mother should be brought to the house. The dying woman was sent to the royal infirmary, where Prof. Maciagen upon examination found that the symptoms were not indicative of gas, but of narcotic poisoning. . Mme. Chan- trelle died that afternoon without re- gaining consciousness. On the following day a postmorten examination was held subsequent in- confirmed the general suspicion awakened by the peculiar ecircumstances attending the deceased's illness and death, and on the afterncon of Saturday, Jan. 5, 1878, immediately after his wife’s funeral, Chantrelle was arrested and takem to the Carl- ton prison. - The preparation of the case for trial took several months, and it was not until April § that he was indicted. The trial began on Tuesday, May 7. The judge, who sat at the hearing was Lord Justice Clerk Monerfeff. The prisoner was attired in mourning and to his indictment he answered in a clear and steady veice, “Not guilty.” For the prosecution there appeared the lord advocate and the solicitor- general, Watson and Macdonald, as well as several advocates depute; and the accused was defended by Mr. Traynor, assisted by J. P. B. Rabert- son and Thomas Shaw. The trial lasted four days, of which three were occupied with the evidence, and the fourth with the speeches of counsel, the judge's charge to the jury, and the verdict and the sentence. It was clearly proven that Chan- trelle was acquainted with the uses and effects of polsons, that he had opium in his possession: that he had endeavored to create a false impres-| slon as to his wife's death: that his| protestations of Innocence before he| had been accused of any crime were inconsistent with the demeanor of an innocent man, etc. At five minutes past 4, on May 10, the jury retired and was out an hour and ten minutes. The prisoner was found guilty. His calmness did not forsake him. The verdict was re-| ceived with cheers by the large crowd | assembled in Parliathent square. The judicial warrant appointing the execution to take place on the morn- ing of Friday, May 31. was deliversd to the civic authorities on May 13. bulk, and quickly digested. 3 oty Better 'Than Stocks and Bonds —health will pay far better dividends.

PRESIDENT BEGINS TO PLAN FOR VACATION. When Hepe Is Given that Congress Will Adjourn by August 25th. ‘Washington, July 29—Information democratic leaders in congress today that adjournment might be ex- pected about August 25 led Predident ‘Wilson to begin laying plans for his vacation. The president has been bearing up weil under the hot weather of the last few weeks but he is anxious to get Mrs. Wilson away from Wash. ington. The president will probably Jeave for his summer home at Cornish, N. H., just as soon as congress adjounrs. He plans to go to Baltimere, early in September for the Star Spangled Banner celebration there. He has had many other invitations for meetings during August and September but so far has accepted none of them. Late in Seéptember or early in Oc- tober Mr. Wiison probably will go in- to ‘Pennsylvania, Jowa and several other states to help democratic eandi- dates in their campaigs. So far he has made no definite plans for a speaking tounr, but the understanding is that he believes his administration will be on trial at the elections and that he ought to go out and talk to the vet- ers.

Lincoln, Neb., July 28.—Harmony programmes, forecast for both the re- publicans and progressives, were car- ried out in the main at their state con- ventions in Nebraska. The republican platform condemns the democratic tariff law ana favors 4 non-partisan tariff commission. It declares Colombla has no shadow of a claim on the United States for the acquisition by this country of the Panama canal zone and condemns the administration for its proposal to pay Colombia $25,000,000 in satisfaction of its claims.

The progressive convention adopted a platform of nedrly three thousand words containing planks covering all the heretofore announced principles of the party, declared for national pro- hibition of the liguor trafic and pre claimed Theodore Roosevelt to be th ‘‘greatest statesman of modern times.
