The effoot of tho expenditure of a fovorupon tho oigansot speech Is thus soon tobo not potential, but dynamlo. Mr. Fas-ecr- o

is a groat boy.

Fore well, PornelltNo frlond of Ireland, and no obsorver ot tho

really groat achievements ot our tlmo, canhave heard tho nows ot Mr. FABNEit'sdoath without a pang ot heartfolt Borrow.Ono Is oppressed as by tho spootacto ot BomoGrcok tragody, whon ono recalls how muohhad boon aooompltshed by this man, and Inhow short a porlod, and how suddenly andirreparably he was to loso tho fruit ot hisexortlons. Painful beyond expression musthavobeon the deathbed recognition thatfor him on oarth there could be no rehabil-itation, no roscuo from tho ruin of his hopes.

It Booms indood deplorable, that, If Mr.Pa&mklii were to die In tho very prime otmanhood, ho might not have perlshodearlier, whllo he still stood boforo the eyosot mon as the uncrowned King of Ireland.As It Is, he has tallon In tho hour othis oollpso, when tho sooptro had

from him, and when his per-sonal ambition Boomed Irrevocably di-

vorced from bis country's causo. Howas fated by the irony ot destiny to dlo ata conjuncture whon a slnglo error and hisdosperate, Ul'tlmed struggle to rotrlovo ithad In tho minds of most of his compatriotsoutweighed all his lnostlmable sorvloos.OnABtEs Stewart PAmna,!, has passed be-

yond tho sphoro ot earthly aspiration andendeavor at tho moment whon tho IrishNationalist party, Into which he breathedtho breath ot Uto, is at last in full view ottho promised land.

Yot wo doubt not that from every quarterot tho globe whoro Irishmen are domlcilodthere will fiow como the outburst of sym-pathy for which ho yearned but yestordny,but which can moot his oar no moro. Thoshadow whloh darkened tho lost yoor of Illslife will bn forgotten, and his gratotulouuntrytnun will remember only thatCitAniiES Btkwabt Pabxklii must, abovoall other men, bo credited with tho Impos-ing dimensions and tho unparalleled

of tho Irish Parliamentary party,to which are duo the achievements of thepast and tho assurance of triumph In thofuture.

It may lxs that the fame of this indisputa-ble patriot Is safer now than it he had beenforced to face another year ot florco fac-

tional dissension ending In almost lnovita-bl-o

defeat. As It Is, tho good, and not theevil, that ho did will livo after him. ThoroIs room for him In tho mausoleum wherethe martyrs ot '03 are buried. There Is aplace tor him by O'ComrKUs side. Ay, thenamo ot ParkkiiL may yet stand foremoston tho roll ot those.who through storm andshlpwreok bore aloft the Btaudard ot tholrcountry's rights, and whoso memories willbe treasured as long as one Irish heart shallboat.

Should It Be Only Good of the Dead?The late William H. Kemdle ot Phila-

delphia servod tho causo ot publlo moralityduring his lifetime by supplying to honestmen and honest newspapers a phroso whichbocomo a deadly weapon against rascals inoffice. Tho last part of his lite, afterhe had been convicted ot crime and sen-tenced to the penitentiary, furnished anobjoct lesson more impressive and usefulthan hundreds ot essays or sermons. Thosewere Kejidlk's publlo services, and neitherservlco was rendered voluntarily by him.Beyond that, his career had nothing to dis-

tinguish It especially from the career of anyscamp who dies rich and dlsgracod.

Tho newspapers of Philadelphia, withoutexception bo far as our observation goes,have treated tho memory ot Kehble as Ithis life Illustrated Borne of the hlghost othuman virtues. In reading Col. MoOlube'seditorial remarks In tho Philadelphia Times,for Instance, a stranger to the truth aboutKemdi.e would got the Impression that onoot tho most eminent and Justly respectedof Philadelphia's citizens had passed away.Major SxkqebiiT, tho political reformer,followed Mr. Exmblb to the grave Inporson, and In his Journal preserved thestrictest silence concerning tho only in-

structive passages ot Kxmblx's life. It isnot neoessary to discuss tho motives of thoPhllodelplda oditors,norof the Philadelphiaclorgymen who pronounoed tho disgustingpanegyrics at the funeral pf tho mastorprofossor of addition, division, and silence,and the convict justly sentonood to the pen-itentiary tor an odious crime.

For editor or for minister of the Gospeldesiring for any reason to engage In thissort of misrepresentation, there Is ready athand the Latin phrase whloh has coveredsuch a multitude of sins.

What is the duty of the honest newspaperwhloh has told the truth during tho lifetimeof tho thief In publlo place, tho corrupter ofpubllo mdrals, the proved brlbor, the adul-terous clergyman, tho convict In any lino otrascality whom publlo Interests require anhonest press to expose and denounce?Does tho accident ot death dose the

and wipe out tho example from theeight ot men ? If so, history has no businessto write the record ot human events.

TUB SUX,

And the Growth of the Sunday Keuapapcr.

Ono ot tho most remarkable slgna of thogrowing reading capacity ot tho Amorlcanpeoplo 1b given In tho rapid dovelopmont of theBunday edltlous of tho dally newspapors.From moro chronicles of events thoao havedevolopcd Into vohtcles of contemporary Eng-lish literature and seem now anxious to as-

sume tho functions of tho avorugo quarterlyand monthly magazines, as well as thoso oftho weekly papor. Starting with a limitedamount ot "syndicate matter." tho loadingnewspapers at lpast now dovoto tholr spocoalmost exclusively to original matter by thobest American and English writers of tho day.As an illustration, ono ot thoso. The SundayBun. in addition to original papers on contem-porary historical literature, on art and liter-ature, short storios and pootry, has re-

cently boon printing one of tho mostImportant and instructive sories of paperson natural history, by the celebratednaturalist St George llivnrt; also a scriesot letters from the Southorn Pacific, byBobort Louts Stevenson, for which ho waspaid $10,000. A tew weeks ago Thje Sum pur-chased from Mark Twain (for $12,000) his newnovel. It has also secured from tho sameauthor a series of letters containing the fruitof his observations during his present tour ofEurope for oaoh of whloh he is to receive$1,200. the highest sum. probably, that hasever been paid tor oorrespondonco of this kind.Tns Sox has also acquired, at $10,000. fromWilliam Dean Howolls tho right to his newnovel. " Tho Quality of Mercy," as woll as a con-tinued Btory from Joel Chandler Harris. Thisrepresents possibly5 ovor $50,000 which onenewspaper alone Is willing to pay for extra at-

tractions that oannot possibly cover moro thanfour months' issues. And there are at loasthalt a dozen others in this country that spondliberal sums ot money for tho same purpose,forming altogether aformidablo competitionto weaker magazines and journals.

Tho comfort to bo drawn by tho booksellerfrom this condition of things is that it helps tocultivate readers. Tho supposition that thoextra reading matter prosented by the news-pap-

at tho present day tends toreduco thonumber of book buyors Is one that is probablywithout foundation. For every ono reader whocarefully preserves his Sunday papor and

roads all It contains, thoro areeleven others who will read enough ot thomatter offorod by his newspaper to gain thedoslro to read it in a bandlor and more attrac-tive shape, and so watt until tho story, oressays, or whatever tho matter may bo. Is con-cluded and published in book form. First issueIn a newspaper, instead of hurting tho sale ofbookB, often pushos and advertises them.Whether tho nowspapers will make enough,out ot this now departure to mako it a perma-nent feature 1b a matter concerning whlohmany doubts are entertained. But thon " thatis another story."

THB CASB Of TUB OTTO. I

The British Columbian Teaael That IVaaCnptnrrd by the Mohican,

WAsniNOTOjf, Oct 7. Although tho solturoot tho Victoria sealing schoonor Otto was

by tho United States eruisor Mohican,tho controversy over tho justloo ot the pro-

ceedings is ono thatconoorns the British au-

thorities rather than ours. Commander Cot-

ton captured tho poacher at tho express in-

quest ot Commander Tumor of the British warvessol Mympho, so that It thoro was any ille-gality in tho seizure the owners of the Ottowlllhavotosook redress from their own Qovernmont

There are sovoral points In dispute aboutthis affair. Capt BetUy of tho Otto complainsthat ho was entitled to a preliminary warning,like the othor sealing vessels, undor tho modusviventll, nnd that only after, nogloct of Buoh awarning could his vessol hnvo justly boonsolzed. But unlike othor British Columbianvessels, tho Otto did not leave hor homo portfor Bohring Boa until aftorthomoclutrfcrodiogroomont had boon made public. What otherpeoplo know through tho publlo prosa was notlikely to liavo boon hid from tho knowledgo otth&ownors and masters of tbo dealing vessols,who wero directly interested In it Tho oldprlnolplothatlgnorancoof tho law Is not anoxcuso somotlmos rosults In injustice, es- -

means could havoeon taken with very little troublo and

to mako tho law known; but in this casewe cannot ovon cuppoeo

It may bo said that tho Otto was novortho-Ior- sentitled to ofllclal warning from one of the

cruisors. But hero wo havo tho statement thatCommander Tumor had himself roqunstodCollector .Milne of Victoria to warn tho Otto,whllo Itoth vessels wore lying in that port nndabout to go north. It appears that tho offloorwho took this mossago to tho Collector of Cus-toms was informod by tho latter that the Ottowas going for oodflshlng and not for seal kill-ing. Yet it seems that, her clearance, as glvonby tho Collector, was really for soal huntiiic InUohrlngrJoa; and it is known from Comman-der Cotton's report to Secretary Tracy thatwhon seized sho had a regular seal-killin- g out-fit and forty-thro- e sealskins on board.

Aoeordlngly. if thoro was any blunder aboutwarnlnc tho Otto, the euetomsauthoritlos musthavo inado It. Commnndor Turnor evidentlyconsidered that ho had discharged Ills duty,since on loarnlng that tho Otto had Rono northho informed Commander Cotton that ho con-sidered hor as a vossel already WArned, nndasked him to selr.o hor it found in tho prohib-ited wutors, live days later tho Mohican,whllo cruising north of Unlmak l'ass. caughtsight of two sailing vessels in company, ono ofrbion proved to bo tho Otto nnd thoothcrtheJ)pcar and Hattie. Thoy parted at onco nnd

tried to escape In opposite directions. Thoono which tiio Mohican chased was tho Otto,and In about on hour tho corvetto wasnoarenough to give her a blank cartridge, whichpromptly brought hor to. A prizo crow wasnut aboard, ana thon tho Mohican 6teamod a(-t-

tho Oscar and Hattlo, whloh. howovor.es-enpo- d

under oover of tho nightfall.Hliould it be shown that tho master of the

Otto dcoolvcd Collcotor Mllno as to tho objectof his voyngo. the vessel will havo two ponal-Uo- s

to meet one for breaking port regulationsand tbo other for unlawful conduct in UohrlngHca. If the fault was tho Collector's in lettinghor go. ho may bn called to account It hasboen assarted at Ottawa and dontod at Wash-ington that tho seizure ot tho Otto was in con-sequence of irregularity in her papers, the In-ference from tho formor statement being thatthis was not an adequate causo of proeedurongnlnst tho vessol under tho modus rivrndi,whllo the retort has been that "no questionoroso In reforence to her pnpors.'r Bothstatements appear to bo partly right andpartly wrong, tilio wassoizod solely for illegalsealing, but tho facts are said to be that thoofflcer who boarded the Otto found her registryIncorrect in having tho namos both ot hermaster and hor owner wrong. This, at allevents, wns the statemont modo public at n,

and porhaps it may havo somo conneo-tio- u

with tno singular blundor or deception ofth port authorities. The facts must bo knownto tho British naval officers, as tho Mohicantowed hor prizo to Oonalaska, and thereturned her over to tho Urltish war vessolPheasant whoso commander, ns it happonod,was tho Lieutenant who had takon CommanderTurner's warning about tho Otto to CollectorMilne.

It is worth noting that both the Victoriaschooners seized this yoar. tho Otto and thoE. B. Murvin, havo setup tho plea ot insulll-cic-

warning. In both cases, too. it Is rather aflimsy ploa. Tho Otto undoubtedly know oftho modus titrndi before starting on her voy-age from Victoria. Tho Marvin was notifiedby ono of our vessels, but pleads that tho copyof tho President's proclamation served on her.nnd containing tho modus Vivendi agreementhad Sir Julian I'auncefoto's namo printed asWilliam, so that It looked suspicious. There-upon Bhe determined to wait for notificationby a British vossel. nnd whllo engaged in thatquostwan solzed. Tho trials of these vessolsmay bring uptho legnl point as to what was agood nnd sufficient warning under tho modusrtroiai during the presont soason.

BOVTU AXStaCAS DICTATORS.

sfrlodrnman In tVhleh Darlnc Tyraata HarPlotted for Oreat Emplrea.

The Balmaceda affair, brought to as pretty aclimax as o novelist or playwright could havemade. Is the latest of a long and curious seriesot attempt ot daring .South Amorlcans torealize dreams suoh as mon dreamed In themlddlo ages, but whloh aro supposed to be outot dote nowadays.

Tho peculiar social and political conditionsIn the Central and South Amorlcan ropubllcshave given a ohanoe to these mon ot Intolerantandarrogan6ipIrlt and It is not easy forthpeoplo ot tho United States to understand con-ditions so lingular. Iheso men, with aspira-tions for dictatorship, havo set In motion a

cries of remarkable conspiracies. The manat the head ot each conspiracy has hod adouble objoct wealth and power. Bomo oftho later conspirators, taking warning fromtho fato ot thoso who wont before, havo passodtho first tow months, or porhaps years, aftertheir aooosslon to tho Presldonoy of a republic,in sondlng out of tho oountry a largo fortunoagainst the possible mlsoarriago ot theirplans. It tho conspiracy for absolute powerfailed, then in somo European capital thoy hadtortuno and easo awaiting thorn.

Of tho South American "tyrants." as theyaro called, thoso moat conspicuous in recentyoars aro Franola and Lopei in Paraguay,ItosaslnBuonoBAyrcs, La Torre and SantosIn Montovldoo. Garcia Nourono in Ecuador,and last but by no means greatest Balmacedain Chili. All had tho samo gonersi characteris-tics, all won tholr first suooosses In tho sameway. and all foil through the samo abuso otpower. Thoy havo boon mon who talked,groat deal about liberty and who. pormlttednone ot it Arrogance, avarice, and prodigal-ity have characterized all of them : and almostall havo had. as an ultimate ambition, tho con-solidation of tho many South American StatesInto ono great empire, ruled by an absolutemonarch.

So this one exception is most notable. Fran-el- aonoo dlotator ot Paraguay, had a curious

and oarriod it out moro successfullyEimbltlon, of tho otbors. His dream was to

from the test of tho world. Moho hated olvlllzatlon. He pro-

posed that Paraguay should havo no foreignpommoroo, should pormit no strangers to en-to- r,

should allow no citizen to travel abroad.Thore was a poworfui religious clement In tillsPlan. Ho cot tho ldoa that tho most successfulway of maintaining his rule would bo by se-cluding hlmsolf from his subjects. Ho ac-cordingly buriod himself in the depths ot agroat gloomy palaco In tho capital. All thoouter rooms wero guarded by troops. Only hisMlnistors wero allowed to onter tho palaco,and thoy were not allowed to soo hlsfaoe. Tohis lmmodlatoprosenco only his oook and hisbarber vreio admitted.

When ho wlshod to tako the air a great bollboomed from a tower ot tho palace. Thecltlzons understood whatthls moan t, and thorowas straightway a rush Into tho houses.Front doors and blinds woro closed, and thoInhabitants withdrew to tho roar rooms oftholr houses. Thon Franoia. mounted on ahorse, rode through the dosertod stroots. Hisguard followed at a diBtanoo. and a

current that any ono who peeped atthe tyrant In thoso solitary rldos would sharetho fato of tho gentleman with the impiouscuriosity about Lady Godiva.

They say that Francla's faoo was terrible. Awretched Paraguayan tolls how he, bolngvoung and daring, had stood behind a curtainin tho palaoo to see tho tyrant as he passodalong tho hall. This unhappy person says thuttho tyrant's eyes woro so full of flro that hisknees knookodtogothor, and tho loud olacklngof his teoth almost botrayod him.

Ono night In 1810 when thoso eyes wore elosedBomo ono loaned over the bod and thrust aknlfo In Francla's breast and tho ores weroopened. Although the people woro glad to borid of him, thoy eorrlod on and wept over hiscoffin, nnd evon yot worship him as a sort ofdeml-go-

A far dlfforont porson was Lopez, who waatho next to practice his private ambitions up-on tho Paraguayans. Lopoz was a young manof warllko temperament when ho wont toFranco to visit Emperor Napoleon III. ThoEmperor treated him as a monaroh. He gotfantastlo ideas of doing fine things in SouthAmerica. Ho mot a woman ot keen nnd am-bitious mind in a Paris salon who gave a prac-tical turn to thc6o dreams, and tho two wentback to South America to found an empire.

Now. Paraguay in not a big oountry. andtherefore cannot supply great armies. YotLopez could not accomplish any part ot hisdream without extonsivo wars. He was notdaunted by difficulties but proceeded to quar-r- ol

with every country within reach. Ho soonhad Brazil, Argentlno Ropubllc and Uruguaylighting hand in hand against him. He armodall Paraguay, and tho woman spurred him andtho pooplo on. Lopez died, sword In hand, onthe Hold of battle. His son died fighting at hisside. Tho woman livod to wrap their bodies inthe flag of Paraguay and to bury them withduo pomp. But Paraguay and all South Amer-ica Imto Lopez for tho scores ot thousands whodied in his wars.

Tito stories of tho others aro similar. Allhave beon driven out nearly all havo diedviolent deaths: and although South andCentral Amorlcan States persistently invito bytholr weakness tho ambitions of suoh men,thoy as norslstontly crush plans for absoluterujo or for vast empire.

The second act in tho great military oomedy-dram- a

known as Lieut Farrow's trial wasgiven In tho Army building yesterday. It Isa comody tor thoso who aro looking on fromtho outside, but a serious drama for tho officer,Who has everything at stake.

CoL Mendenhall. tho presiding officer, calledtho court to order at lOJi o'clock yesterdaymorning. Tho first business wns tho readingot tho minutes, which took over an hour.This reviewed In a very particular way thowholo ot tho indictment ogalnBt Llout Farrow.In brlof. tho officer is accused ot bolng know-ingly a party to and instrumental In raisingmonoy on fraudulent notes, and ot commit-ting actions unbecoming nn officer and a gen-tleman. The troublo results from tho Lieu-tenant's connection with the Barnegat ParkCompany of Ocoan county, N. J. He was treas-urer of tho corporation and partnor in thobanking firm ot Farrow A. Conkllng nt Barne-gat Park. Llout Farrow sold cortain lotswhich woro his personal property: the noteswere discounted by the Holland Trust Com-pany, which also discounted notes for Iotasold by the land company, somo ot tho lattergoing to protest These transactions bocamovery much tangled: there was crooked wornsomowhore, and the Trust Company tried tolay it to Lieut Farrow. Uenos the court mar-tial.

Mr. C F. Schramme of Ladonborg, Thalman& Co., who discounted some ot tho notes, wasput on the stand. Mr. Bacon wanted to putboforo the court tho Indictment In the civilsuit which Lieut Farrow is bringing againsttho Holland Trust Company for $15o;o00 dam-ages. The Judge Advocate objected, nnd Itwas doclded not to admit tho ovldenco. TheJudge Advocate Insinuated then that some otthese notos bore forged namos, but this waspromptly disproved. Lawyer Bacon becamovery muoh excited at this point and thun-dered away at tho d voterans In amost dramatic manner. He spoke of his clientas a man who was brave enough to "face acourt martial Instigated by a gang ot thieves- -'and when I say a gang of thiovos I am amen-able to what I say 1"

Tho dlsousslon then went on again abouttho notes glvon by Lieut. Farrow, and it

ovldent that ho had in no way misled theWitness, Mr. Schrammo.

Llout. Farrow will bo tho last witness.

Thebids wore from the Pennsylvania SteelCompany, the Quoen Iron Brldgo Company,the Passaio Rolling Mill, Hart Anderson ABurr, the Union Brldgo Company, and theDrake A Hatton Company.

A number ot persons living at nigh Bridgeurged tho Commissioners to make tbo foot-path over tho New York and Northern roadavailable for publlo uso. When tho privilegeof spanning the Harlem was granted to therailroad oompany the latter agreed to providea footpath. It did so. but no approaches to therath were built and so the path Is useloss.The company then bought the land on thenorth end ot the bridge, thus preventing anyapproach from that side to the footpath exceptby tho permission of the company. ThoCommissioners have talked tho matter ovorwith the railroad ofllclals. but no goodresults were reached. The oompany prefersthat persons wishing to cross the bridgeshould ride over in the cars. An onglnoer whowas sont by President Gallup to inspect thobrldgo reported that temporary approaohos tothe bridge oould oaslly bo built providing thatthe owners of abutting prnporty wero willingto surronder enough land for the purpose.President Gallup will mako another appeal tothe company to permit tho building of the ap-proaches. If tho appeal is disregarded, theCommissioners will ask the Board of StreotOponlng and Improvements to tako measuresfor condemning the land necessary for the ap-proaohos.
