The New York Public says:

Orders for United States 4 per cent bonds
from Europe have become larger and more
numerous. There Is little room to doub4 that
all the bonds for sale In this country, at any
thing near the present price, would be taken
by foreign investors within a short time II
the home demand we're entirely satisfied. AS
long as money Is abundant In London at 2 per
cent OF less, and consols sell at 81, the 4 per
cent bonds of the United States will find
many buyers. The home demand, however,
has by no means been satisfied, but In
creases rapidly as July approaches. The in
quiries from banks now holding called bonds
have become very numerous during the past
week, and the last statement of the Treasurer,
showing an Increase Of over $500, 900 In q single
week In the amount OF bonds on deposit for
circulation, proves that the tendency is by no
means toward a withdrawal, but toward an
enlargement of bank circulation. With the
beginning Of July will come payments Of over
S18, 900, 900 by the United States for interest,
beside half-yearly payments and dividends,
amounting to a much larger sum-, on capital
In railroads, tetegraphs, manufactnr-
ing and municipal securities. A large pro-
portion of the funds thus disbursed will i'm
mediately seek new investment, and, for the
first time in many years, there will no longer
be an unlimited supply Of government bonds
to be had at par or whereabouts. Under these
circumstances a marked advance III the price
Of government bonds may reasonably be ex-
pected, and 1t is by no means clear that the
price will decline again so long as the rate OF
interest In foreign money markets continues

The Reign of Terror

Very few historic periods that are so
near are so little understood as the
Reign Of Terror-prObably because 1t
has commonly been represented IN so
partisan a manner. Horrible as 1t was,
il was less horrible than is commonly
thought. Ii did not last nearly so long,
nor were 80 many persons Killed, as
most people believe. The Terror proper
began with the execution of Marie An
toinette, oct Is, 1888, and ended with
the beheading OF Robespierre, July %,
1884, who was really the head and front
of its barbarous offending. 1t cOntin-
ned Q months and l. days, though the
popular opinion Is that it extended
through several years. The number OF
its victims has been greatly eXag
Grated, having been reported at as high
as 10000, 1900, and even 10000. The
number has never been, and never can
be, exactly ascertained; but 1t was be-
tween $500 and $500. so far as can be
computed-being probably nearer the
former than the latter figures. French
men are still quarrelling over the cause,
characteristics, and results of their great
revolution, each judging of it by his
bias of temperament and political opln-
ions. Albeit few regard it now now as
deliberate onslaught of the pOpulace
ON law, order, property, and life, ludg-
ments OF calm and philosophic Inen dill
fer widely as to its consequences. Some
esteem it To have been dreadful
slaughter without any compensation;
Others pronounce it one of the most in
spring events in history. Robespierrc
has been generally portrayed as mon
ster Of cruelty but he was amiable in
private, absolutely incorruptible, rather
callous than activity cruel, and acquies-
ced reluctantly in the atrocities for
which he has been held responsible.
He frequently said, probably with entire
truth: death, always death; and the
scoundrels throw the odium of this con-
tinual butchery all upon me. What a
memory | shall leave behind, ii this
freightful carnage goes on! 1t makes
nv life a burden and a horror; and vet,
where is my way out OF this unending
massacre" Another century must be
/ for advanced before reasoning mankind
can hold any harmonious view of the
French Revolution.

~. pA..on nye, Hsrto pidn't Dine.

The Cleveland Leader thus explains
Bret Harte's failure TO attend the famous
Chicago Dinner:
The real reason was that his wife was
not invited. He was at first given to I'M
derstand that the entertainment was for
gentlemen only. He subsequently
learned that the ladies were also to be
present, and as the committee OF invita-
ton knew his wife to be present in the
city with him and sighted her, the poet
editor OF the Overland Monthly sent his
regrets and dined quietly at his hotel.
The point has since been to agree where
the ill-manners were placed in that par
ticular case. Chicago processes not to
understand to this day why Mr.. Harte
would not eat its literary dinner.
Good for Bret Harte. We have
higher opinion of him now than ever
before. Too many husbands would
have sneaked away from their wives to
attend literary dinner, glad OF the OPP
portunity to flirt in the society OF other
ladies. Whatever may be his faults or
ldiosyncrasies Mr.. Harte is to be. com
mended for this action.

Too Much Marseillaise

The "Marseillaise' is under discussion
again. Apropos OF the subject the
| FigdrO tells an aneCdOte of Louis
Philippe's time. 1t was in 1910, and
the secret societies, then in their full
vigor, began to agitate rather more than
was necessary. in the theatres there
were frequent calls for "Marseillaise. "
| Presently the Project OF Police come to
the King and inquired with some un-
easiness what should be done about 1t.
King Louis PHILIPPE, so far from be,
ing alarmed about the matter, smiled
broadly and said:
"Well, Monsieur lie Project, give or
ders that the 'Marseillaise' shall be
played every time it is demanded, and
even little oftener.'
That very evening they were playing
the "Sonncur d. Paul" at the Gate
Theatre, when III the midst OF the first
act, there was a murmur of La Mar
| seillaise.' The actors Immediately
| ceased performing. The director OF the
orchestra glanced toward the Com
missaire of Police who sat in a box.
The official gave prearranged sign OF
| assent, and the orchestra began playing
the "Marseillaise" vigorously.
Scarcely had the air been played
through when the orchestra attacked it
again; but at the fourth repetition the
audience grew impatient and demanded
the piece. The actors resumed their
performance, and all went well until
| the end of the first act.
As soon as the curtain fell timid
voice i'm the centre of the house called
Ga Marseillaise." and the orchestra
Immediately began to play the air again.
Ii was played five, six, seven, eight
times; the orchestra seemed insane; the
audience shouted, Enough But the
implacable band kept on with the ever
lasting "Marseillaise.' 1t was not un-
Ill the spectators, in a paroxysm OF
wrath, threatened to mob the musicians
that they could be prevailed upon to
cease The play was resumed.
At the second eHtr' Gcte not a single
voice called for the "Marseillaise;" but
/ nj a sign from the CommiSsaire of Police
! the orchestra began it again. This time
| the audience rose as one man and made
| n movement toward the orchestra. To-
tai silence from the musicians appcased
the crowd, and the play went on.
| From this moment all went well; the
"Marseillase" had become a persecu-
ton, a nightmare, and no more calls for
/ il were heard.
