Ii is not generally known that the so- called Queen of Madagascar really rules only the half os that island. that inhab- tied by the Hoya tribe. These people originally dwelt in the center of the is- land. and were tributary to The Ma,a- gassy. but in the early part of the pres ent century. with the aid of the English. they not only gained their freedom but dominated their neighborS to the East as far as the coast Little is known about the people. 50 that the ohserva- tions of Herr Redner. one of the few travellers in Madagascar who have es- caped death by fever, have some inter- est. The HOva men might be taken for sunburnt whites. and the women often possess Q sensuous beauty. They ara poor, and live in simple, unfurnished huts. In character they are false: mothers teach their children falsehOod as a virtue They are also great chat .erers. l. is said that the Queen once spoke 10 her subjects fortwo entire days. Ihc Hoyas have an hereditary nobility, a middle class of ari isggs and traders, and 2 slave class. The Christ isnity of these people is merely nominal, worn for show.

Can Property be 1Ionestly Owned ,


If man is a senator or member Of con-
gress, cabinet officer or judge, is money
found upon his person or property found in
his possession presumptive evidence that he
acquired it by III .ft or bribery? If he buysa
piece of property for one thousand dollars
and sells it for two, has he thereby offended
against law or morals2 If he builds house
Is there any reason why he should
be bounded in half the newspapers
of the country rs suspicious character
Tho rapidity with which men gain wealth
Is not tho least evidence in itself of its hav-
ing been wrongly won. of course if official
acts of men go to swell tho Golfers of individ-
uals who are known to be distributing favors
there will be suspicion as to motives Even
then the act, being right, should not be
questioned; else it will come about
that injustice must bc dono the disrepu-
table to save official regulations. These
reflections arc prompted by the tendency
to scandal in regard to public men. 1t is
unworthy Of decent journalism to adver-
tise the ownership of house by an official rs
ground for calling in question his integrity.
A man who has served many years in both
houses of congress, and against whom there
never was breath of ccnsure or a hint of
dishonesty, is suddenly advertised as owning
a big house, and tho information is conveyed
with mean innuendoes worthy only of the most
malicious scandal-mongers in society. Such
things are disgrace to journalism, and that
they should bo deemed acceptable by news
paper publishers is, an insult to the reading
public.

ADJUSTMENTS.
FoRD's-MR. wARDE AS RIcuELIEU.

FoRD's-MR. wARDE AS RIcHELIEU.
The work of Mr., Warde in "Richeleu" is
not up to the standard he has set for himself
in other plays. 1t Is so uneven as to suggest
a question whether Mr.. Warde has really any
definite purpose in it, or clear perception of
tho plan and proportions of the character
He appears to have little interest in it,
and to depend upon few soliences to "make
it CO." Even in these he chooses to get ap-
pause by force The character of the car
dinal minister suffers by such representa-
tion, but tho actor suffers more. A few
touches Of fine reading, and occasionally a
CLEAN offender feeling in the scenes with Julie,
save the performance from badness, and hint at
possibilities which time and care may de-
velop into something better. But as yet these
arc hints merely. 1t had been hoped Mr..
Warde would accomplish something distinc-
tive in the part. There is no good Richelieu
among the actors now prominent before the
public. One and all they offer the same
anomalous speCtacle an old man, worn with
years and raclSed with many inirmities, who,
nevertheless, has all the shouting and strid-
ing power of incorporate youth. Some affect
to present the cardinal in tho light of u
robustious fairy godfather to couple
of lovers; others present him as
no less robustious statesman (;
and still others try to show us the Richelieu
of history--likewise robustious. Without ex-
ception they shout and storm. The main diff
ference between them is in the quality Of their
shouting and storming The only measure of
value they can be tried by is the plan of ac-
ton each has set up for himself. In Mr..
Warde's case the difficulty is las aforesaid)
that he seems to have no plan other than TO
get applause at few places, principally
toward the ends of acts. Such an
indeterminate labor is unworthy so
capable an artist. He has it in hnn
to play the part with dignity, feeling,
the moderation of accustomed authority, the
indication rather than the open expression OF
power and withal, the poetic elevation which
is its first and all pervading trait. Lot it be
hoped that by another year he will have
found the way to play it so, and thereby Civ
ing us, for the first time since Mr.. Forrest
died, Richelieu worthy of the author.

Practice ys. NIalpractic..

Theoretically the democrats arc the greatest
economists in the world, and have no object
in view but the salvation of this country.
Clamoring increasingly for reform, they havo
made the welkin ring and awakened some
what of belief in their sincerity because Of
their per rsistency. Last fall the republicans
in large numbers stayed away from
the polls in order to give the pro-
fessional keeners an opportunity to
reform and save several states. Notably was
this the case in New York, where the pres
ent administration received majority re-
markable in political history. The tax
payers of that state are beginning to realize,
in forcibo manner, their folly in thus
trusting to democratic pretensions Tho
party now dominant in the affairs of New
York consists of one part reform to nine parts
spendthrift and unscrupulous politician. Sur
rounded by hungry lot, whose reform
cry is changed to howl for official fodder,
the democratic legislature is compelled to care
for its own. There are not half enough offices
to appcase the party appetite, and places must
needs be made for able strikers and bummers
who carry whole wards in their pockets. Tie
creation of new offices has been going on
gradually ever since the convening of the
assembly. But little moro than q month has
passed, and 1T is now apparent that at
least $150,000 are to he added to
the annual expenditures of the state
in the payment of additional salaries.
Besides the creation of new courts, commits
sions, and minor offices, there are jobs innum-
cradle in preparation for the purpose of re-
warding the leather-lunged honchmen who
most vigorously vociferate the slogan of re-
form. If these are carried through, as there
is good reason to expect they will be, the tax.
payers of New York will have to pay nearly
seventeen millions of dollars for their
political experiment Tho republican mi,
nority can do naught but hopelessly
protest against tho iniquitics which arc being
enacted. Thepeople of New York who have
done little else than find fault with tho re,
publican party for several years past will
doubtless hereafter prefer republican practice
to democratic malpractice.

Tho railroads are great civiIizers, but the tolls
they take would have made glad the souls of
some of the robber barons Of the middle ages.
The present holders ofthe waterod stock, aud
of the improyidently issued bonds, paid for
them, and to punish them by cutting down
railroad incomes to fair return ON the orig
inal investment would be unjust, The steal

A seIf-IIeIpfrh CitY.

The courage with which Cincinnati bears
disaster is admirable, There is no cry of dis
tress nor any sounding call for help. While
the Ohio is whirling her streets into ruin one
of her newspapers, the Times-Star, finds time
to indulge in pridc that, although America
suffers from fires and floods and the failure
of crops, just as much as do many of the
countries of Europe, we never go begging
across the waters, and if wo did we would
probably get little for our pains. Whenever
afilction falls upon the people of even the
richest and most powerful nations of the old
world, however, their first impulse is to APP
peal TO America for aid, and they always get
it. Our country is not only refuge for the
oppressed of all lands-it is the almsglver of
the world, and we are all glad of it," Gin
cinnati need not ask for help She has sim
ply to remind the country Of this fact, and
leave tho result TO that generous sympathy of
which the TimeS-star speaks. In the mean
