Tho nomination Of Brt.tou.

The club of republican reformers did well
to compliment Mr.. Bristow for having as
Secretary Of the Treasury, done his duty.
We think with Mr.. Cowdin, that it went too
far in presenting his name as o candidate
for the Presidency. When reform club
descends into the business Of President
making it loses its special value. There are
a hundred men, some of whom have been
mentioned for the Presidency, who would
Mr.. Washburne, Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Jay and
Mr.. Evarts are certainly as good reformers
as Mr.. Bristow. Why should they have
been overlooked
Mr.. Bristow's only record as q reformer is
that of o subordinate Of General Grant-a
faithful party man, who has been feeding at
the same crib with Babcock and the rest, who
is republican, no more and no less If he
has achieved any reforms in the Treasury he
has done SO as the deputy of the President.
The credit of these reforms belongs to the
President even more than to Bristow, be-
cause it was in the power of the President
to have prevented them at any time if he
had been dissatisfied with the energy of his
subordinate. Under our government the
credit of Bristow will go to the credit of the
President just as the discredit of Belknap
will 60 against him. To run Bristow as a
reformer, therefore, is simply running one
of Grants subordinates as reformer of
Grants administration.
Bristow, if loyal to the chief who has
given him all of his power, is even
more of q Grant man than Blaine, Nor
ton or Conkling. He is part of the admin
istration which is to be reformed The
others have supported measures which they
were not asked to shape. In fact, the only
administration candidate in the field is
Bristow, unless we should count Jewell,
which we have no objection to do, if only
for the sake Of harmony in the State of Con-
necticut.

NATIONAL CELEBRArIoNs-LEr FRANc1
Wharf.-The French people are discua
sing, with some ardor, . proposition
to celebrate the memories of Rousseau
and Voltaire on the centennial anniversary
of their death, which took place in ITS. In
the present condition of parties in France il
would be as much of blunder to do this
as to propose that we should devote the
centennial of our independence to the glori.
fcation of Thomas Paine. The centennial Of
France, SO far as liberty is concerned, will
be the commemoration of the fall OF
the Bastile. If the Republic lasts until
1899 the institutions Of France will be so
consolidated that there can be celebration
of that transcendent event in which all
Frenchmen will join as heartily as Ameri-
cans propose to unite in celebrating oux
coming Fourth of July.

wHAT ARE THE CLAIMS OF BRrsrow?-
There is much about the character of the
Secretary of the Treasury which we admire.
We honor him for all the good he has done
In his high Office. But why should he be a
candidate for the Presidency? 1t is said
that he caught the whiskcy thieves in
st. Louis; but we want something better
than thief catcher for the Presidency.
The Secrctaryship Of the Treasury is an
Office of 80 much power that whoever holds
il is apt to be a candidate for the Presi.
dency. 1t was so with Chase and it is so
with Bristow. We do not wish to detract
from the merits OF Bristow as q reformer and
rs candidate for any Office. But before we
take him give us his record Let us know
his mental stature. While his friends are
about it let them explain how Mr.. Bristow
can be candidate for the Presidency on a
platform OF reform" when he is a leading
member Of the administration he proposes
to .'reform" and responsible for every one Of
it, measures since he accepted Office.

A NEW SUMMER AMUSEMENT. THESE warm
airs and lengthening days make rs welcome
any suggestion for passing pleasant sum-
mer. Here is new one from England
"a Sexagenarian" writes to the London
Times urging the people to adopt horseback
riding as an amusement. He speaks Of .
ride from Exeter to London, through some
of the finest scenery Of England. and adds
II have derived 50 much benefit to general
health and SO much pleasure and interest in
the different places visited that cannot re-
frain from suggesting the same inversely
from London" This idea is good one.
What ride could be more attractive than
up the Hudson as far as Saratoga or
down into Long Island through the nest OF
quaint Hampton villages where Centennial
Dix lives and shoots SO many ducks every
year or through the Jerseys over the routs
which Washington took when he thrashed
the Hessians, and SO until the Centennial
is reached? There are twenty routes leading
from New York for two or three hundred
miles, which would form charming fort
nights ride in the summer days.

How TO shop.

Although every woman is sup
posed to know how to shop, a few
hints on the subject may prove ad-
vantageous:
"Real thread lace has but one
knot in the dots, while the imita-
ton has two. Crape-made of cot
ton-can be got for twenty-five
cents a yard, and will turn a beau
tiful gray in a very short time.
Then the Lyons manufacturers
make some Grape from refused silk
and others from better material.
The real English Grape, which is
the best, has the name CORTLAND
on the box. Withal it is sadly de-
ceptive. Even old hands must
sometimes weigh two pieces OF
Grape before they can tell which is
the better. Areal French chip hat
or bonnet can be rolled up, and
bent down, and twisted in and out,
without showing a scar. Real
French flowers are always made Of
the very finest material, and the
stems are most neatly and carefully
finished. The are really artistic,
and will bear an amount Of use and
abuse which would ruin the ordin-
airy cheap article"

bOnuOn Acaueuy.J
The death Of Mrs. Z. T. Esdaile
should not pass without record in a
literary journal. This lady was
Ianthe Eliza Shelley, the frst-born
Of all Shelley's children. She died
on June 10th, at Clifton, beingiust
sixty-three years of age. The poet
had six children altogether-Ianthe
and Charles by his first wife, Har-
riet Westbrook; William, Clara,
Percy 1.-THE present Baronet), and
an infant who died very early, by
his second wife, Mary Goodwin.
Save the eldest and the youngest,
Ianthe and Percy, none Of them
reached adolescence F.; and now
Percy alone remains. The Shelley
family have hitherto protested reti-
cence with regard to some passages
in Shelley's life-the time for a full
disclosure was "not yet come I" per-
haps, as the representatives of his
race diminish in number, the time
approaches. But no right-feeling
persons would urge unseemly haste,
distastefuf to survivors. Ianthe
was, Of course, one Of the two chill
dren Of his first marriage, taken
away from Shelley's custody in 1917
by decree of the Courtof Ohancery.
she was then four years Of age, was
educated under the superintendent
Of a clergyman Of the Church o.
England, and grew to womahhood.
and even 10 advanced age, we be.

her fathers doings, personal and

judges unanimously approve the
action of Judge Haakman in clos
ing the court of summary Justice,
the government not permitting the
execution of judgment against
itself, but to appoint another judge
to hold court in his place. There

PARIS, July 22.-The Republican
journals are bitter in their com

degrees. The Conservative jousnals
are very moderate, and say there

ministry did not make the passage
of the bill a Cabinet question. The
Constitutional says the Minister of
Public instruction confirmed this
view to his friends at the close Of
yesterdays sitting.
LONDON, July %. - Minister

hers that she deserved death
When a fallen woman was
taken before Christ and it was
proposed to stone her, according to
the old Mosaic law, he said: she
that is without sin among you let
him first cast a stone at her" They
felt self-oonvicted and went out one
by one. Then he spoke those
memorable words: $50 and sin no
more" Yesterdays mob, Judged
by that rule, could not have uhitedly
lifted the smallest pebble from the
sidewalk. Here was an illustration
of what the blacks would do if left
to themselves, showing they are as
incapable of self-control as of gov
erning a State or a nation. The
whole colored population is not re-
sponsible for what occurred on this
occasion, and many of the older
ones doubtless condemn it; but it
is evident that the younger genera
ton is growing up wild, idle, thrift
less and worthless. The race Is so
improvident that it is dying out
rapidly, and if the next census is
honestly taken, as the last was not,
it will show a decrease of at least
twenty per cent. since 1870.
This is a serious question, especially
to those of us who have been in
favor of giving colored children
the same opportunities in separate
schools as the white children, even
though the white people bear all
the expense. 1t is yet a question to
solve whether education beyond the
mere rudiments improves and ele-

A word In season.

A recent number of the New
Haven Union has an excellent
article on education in the East
and West. We give the following
extract from it:
In New England the laboring
classes are growing more s~ubservient
each year, which is a sure sign of
spreading ignorance. In very many
manufacturing towns the mil
owners claim to not only own the
labor, but the votes of their male
operators, and it is a common thing
for men to be driven to the polls
like so many sheep to obey the
command of the driver.
In the West there is nothing Of
this kind. There is no such abiecl
dependence. The public spirit il
tolerant-the people are untram.
meled and free. This is a sign O
intelligence and bears out the claim
of our Western contemporary.
1t is certainly time for a socia
revolution in New England. lie
us get closer to nature and throw
off the 'shackles of precedent ant
custom. Public sentiment SHOULD
forbid the degrading conditions o
our factory life. There should b,
more regard for humanity and les
for the almighty dollar.
Factory life presents features 0
servitude which only need probin,
and discussion to inaugurate tn
" social revolution" limited at b.
