The srdor Of the followers Of the Meek
and Lowiy One leads to many excuses.
An instance il at hand. Some time ago
. meeting Of Republican Senators. Dep
utiss, Town Counselors, Journalists and
saysnts was held in Paris to organize q
celebration Of q voltairs Centenary du.
ring the exhibition. A commission was
then appointed. and IL was resolved to
concentrate the essence Of voltAire's
philosophical. moral and social ideas in
q cheap volume Of 1000 pages. to Be
spread broadcast throughout France.
and that public subscriptions to cover
expenses should bs opened by the Re-
publican papers. Public interest Is now
concentrated on tho proposed centenary.
The committee to direct the fsts Is COM
posed Of Victor Hugo and four other
Senators. four Deputies. two municipal
councillors, two member Of the lnsti-
tuts. Leesuvs and Roman. and several
artists. journalists and men Of letters.
The Catholic dignitariss are attacking
the proposed celebration violently. Car
dinai Gilbert. Archbishop Of Paris. has
issued = pastoral dsnouncing 1t. Bish-
op Dupanloup has also published
apamphist against the celebration and
voltairs. The telegraph informs Us that
last Tuesday in the senate this reverend
gentleman asked Dufaure. President Of
the Council and Minister Of Justice.
whether the Government would prevent
the fets and prosecute the publishers Of
. book containing irrsligious selections
from voltaire's works. Dufaurs said
the celebration was = private affair. and
the Government had no right TO inter.
fers. II deprecated the publication Of
soms Of the passages. but could not
prosecute . writing which had been pub
lishsd Q million times and been many
years In general circulation. 50 far as
heard from. the admirers Of voltaire
have not asked the French Government
to prohibit the usual ceremonies Of the
churches. The spirit Of communism
seems to have spread even to the clergy
Of France.

dhIcago's Memorial for nm Army nj
100000 Men-Intfrvlew with
Hon. Garter Harrison.

WASHINGTON, May 2G-Hon. Carter Harri-
son. of Illinois has been interviewed in re-
card to the memorial adopted on Friday last
by the Chicago Board of Trade, asking Con
press. In view Of the troubled condition OF
fhe country, to increase the army to 100000
men. Mr. Harrison says ho has no infOr1na-
tion Of any specific disturbances in Chicago
The Board of Trade Is very sensitive as TO
~,ly disturbance to railroads, and in view OF
the troubles of last year may think the army
should be increased.
Mr.. Harrison apprchends no difficulty Just
at present, there may he some before the
summer is over, but that will depend very
much upon the action of Congress, and that
body should give some relief to the laboring
men. AS to the Communists proper in Chi
cago he did not think they numbered more
than one or two Thousand all told.
In case of n labor strike there would be n
tendency on the part of the labor element to
ioin the Communists, but Mr., Harrison did
not think that even the latter had any diSpO-
Stion to violence Thelaboring classes. how
ever, are in n feverish condition. They are
hungry and dissatisfied, and 1t would not
take much to incite them to extreme meas
ures; but, in free country like this, dissatis-
faction among the Iaboring men should not
s.1e put down by means of the bayonet. When
we have to do that there is an end To all Tree
government.
Hon. Nathan Cole. of ST. Louis, was also
interviewed with reference to communistic
troubles in his section. He does not appre-
hcnd any difficulty in connection with the
Communists or the laboring elements, but he
believes the army should be retained at its
present strength ia view Of the great extent
of our territory, the troubles on the Mexican
frontier and on the Indian borders, and in the
4nultiplyng Of posts where we need the pro-
lection of soldiers.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

This week We give place to a very entertain
ing article on the Art of fDining." clipped from
the st. Louis Evening Post 1t is so long as to
preclude anything more from US than mere
preface
Dining may now be classed as one Of the fine
arts and mankind in this light may be divided
into two classeS-those who live to eat and those
who eat to live Evidently both Of these classes
are artists. for the first category includes those
who make ofdining an art, and the second cate
CORY includes those who have frequently to use
every art 10 get dinner.
Dining, AS we'll other fine arts. has its lit
erature. Soyer has eloquentiy discussed the
as to the almost innumerabe works on dining
