ANUMBER Of Chicago citizens favorable to
free trade assembled to form club, but az
ter a short time adjournded without doing
anything. The Chicago Times warmly en-
dOrses this, and says that the club is organ
lied on truly Democratic ideas and will have
the sympatl,ies of Democrats for the plat
form which it has presented. AS the club
did not adopt any platform, the Chicago
1ribune pertinently says that nothing is
therefore equivalent and synonym of Demo-
cracy. The truth is that the club undoubt-
elly represents the Democratic party, which
tries to seem to favor free trade, but dare not
present a positive platform on that or any
other question. 1t is very easy for party
with no political responsibility 10 talk in
favor Of free trade, or anything else for that
matter. When it comes to carrying its talk in
to effect more difficulties are encountered; but
this is a danger which the Democratic party
is not likely soon to be asked to face.

THE srRA.nURC CArmEDwAL.

The Cathedral ut Strasburg, which the
dispatches have announced as having been
partially destroyed by the fire of the Pr,ls-
sian siege-guns, is considered one of the fines,
Gothic buildings in Europe, and its spire Is
the highest in the world, being 46G feet 1t
was originally founded in 5O4, but the edi-
fee was almost completely destroyed by
lightning in 1907. The present building was
begun in 1Ol5, and completed in 1889. The
west front is richly decorated with sculptures,
statues and hass-reliefs, rises to the height Of
$50 feet, and has a circular window forty
eight feet in diameter. The principal dimen-
sions are: extreme length, $50 feet; height
Of ceiling, 70 feet; length of TRANSCRIPTS, l4O
feet; and breadth Of the nave 35 feet.
This building has always been greatly adj
mired by tourists, and Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe says:
''The thing looked too low and too broad
for what l had heard Of its marvellous grace
and lightness; nay, some miscellaneous elf
whispered ''dumPy" in my ear.
we Cumudl the SI1fe: We ga1ne0 the TOOL.
What magnificent terrace! A world itself:
u panoramic View sweeping the horizon.
Here saw the names Of Goethe and Herder
Here they have walked many a time, sup
pose. But the inside--a forest; like firnla-
nent, glorious in holiness; windows MANY
hued as the Hebrew psalms; gloom solemn
and pathetic as mans mysterious
existence; richness gorgeous and
manifold as his wonderful nature
In this Gothic architecture VIC see
earnest northern races, whose nature was a
composite Of influences from pine forests,
mountain and storm, expressing in vast pro-
portions and gigantic masonry, those ideas
of infinite duration and existence which
christianity opened before them. 4 harbaric
mildness mingles itself with fancifuI, ornate
abundance; it is the blossoming of northern
forests"
There are also in Strasburg, fourteen other
churches, the most interesting of which are
those Of st. Stephens, st. Thomas, the
Temple Of Neuf, and St. Pierre le Jeune;
and the Jews have splendid Synagogue.
The public library which has also been de-
stroyed, contained $50, 600 printed volumes,
and $50 manuscript volumes. 1t was es-
tablished in 1881, and was one of the most
valuable in Europc.

4 KANSAS COLONY.

The last number of the Massachusetts,
Pouyhmon contains the following statement
in regardto Colony to which, we have
already made allusion. One Of cur first
Colonies came from New Haven, in 1854:
A company in New Haven, 7COnnecaicut,
are making preparations to settle in Kansas,
rendezvousins at Solomon City, about four
days ride from Kanxs City. The nesn-
bcrs already number over sixty, the majority
Of whom are the heads of families. A loca-
ting committee are now on their way with a
party Of twenty-five Of the male members Of
the colony, who propose to select their lands
at once, and to make preparations to receive
their families and the rest Of the colony, BY
building, improving, &c. The Secretary
will return and report their doings, together
with full description Of the location and
its advantages. The location is intended to
be made ON river, and the best possible SC
lection will he made. Schools, churches,
stores, ETC., will he established at once, so
that the colony will enjoy all The advantages
of New England village, and make most
desirable neighborhood for the settler.
A plan of this kind must commend itself
tie all, and we are pleased To zee movement
Of the kind started, as it presents advantages
which isolated emigrants would seek for in
vain. This plan has been for some time in
preparation and the details have been all
digestcd and arranged, 30 that new members
will find a great portion Of their work
already done for them. Combinations of
this kind secures the right sort of men, all
interested in one another and the success of
the whole, and ready to stand by and lend
one another helping hand. Every thing
also is sure to be done at the least expense,
and there are many advantages, which must
be obvious to all. The colony is willing and
anxious to add to its numbers, by admitting
men and families Of the right sort. As there
must I've here and there New England far

The experiment of furnishing 6rst-class
musical entertainments for the working
classes, at low prices of admission, which
has worked successfully in several Of the
large English cities, is about to be tried in
Boston. 1t is proposed to secure Music
Hall for a certain number of evenings, and
place the price of admission at fifteen or
twenty cents per ticket. At that price, with
such programme as would be presented, it
is believed that the 5000 seats would all be
filled, which would bring in from $50 to
5000, sum sufficient to pay the expenses of
first-class vocol or instrumental concert.
