The relations between France and China
are very much strained on account of the
Langson affair and the demanding of a war
Indemnity by the former, and the latest re-
port is that war between the two countries
is inevits Bile. The Chinaman, however, is
not fond of ighting-not with the Caucasian
race at least-and will eat an immense
amount of humble pie rather than be COM
PEELED to do SO. If China had any pluck,
war with France would have been declared
long ago. She will make little buster now
as she did early in he Tonquin affair, and
then submit as gracefully as possible to the
demands of France

Congressman Millken would rather see
Cleveland nominated than any other man.
With him as the candidate Mr.. Milliken
thinks New York would give decided Re-
publican majority and every State north of
Mason & Dixon's line be sure for Blaine. Mr..
Mill'ken considers Republican prospects in
West Virginia and Florida very fattering
and has hopes of North Carolina, Tennes-
see and Maryland. Maine, he believes, will
give Gov. ROBBIE at least 10000 majority in
September ana Blaine much larger one in
November.

though that was hardly needed, that Mr..
Blaine had no knowledge whatever of the

1t is to be hoped that the sense of proprie-
ty that induced the Democratic convention
to defer the nomination of candidates until
the platform was adopted will continue
throughout the campaign. Four years ago
the country witnessed the sdifying specta-
Gle of the whole Democratic party, the can
didate included, repudiating doctrine
which it had solemnly declared only short
time before to be one of its cardinal princi-
pies, for no better reason than the discovery
that to stick to it would result in loss Of
votes.

ORITICISING THE SOUTHERN ENEMIES.
CHICAGO, June 6.--"Gath" telegraphs as
follows to The Cincinnati Enquirer:
George Hoar had any clear idea of get
Roar's r d3cesSor, Mr. S imne., and often
close of his senatorial tsr.u that the most
thankless task for gentleman to engage in
was to reconstruct southern state Al
though every advehturer on behalf of the
Republican party in the south had to go
through years of abuse, which was sys-
tematically reprinted in the north by Re
publican papers, Mr.. Clayton is probably
the only one of the Arkansas carpet bagger5
and one of the very few northern mon in the
south whose private reputation is without a
stigma. His motives to be for Blaine are
plain enough to men who look for plain
motives He is a native Pennsylvania, like
Blaine. The Arthur administration has
made sufficient concessions TO his character
to give him all the patronage he wanted, but
that did not avail to disturb his traditions.
Clayton has one arm gone, but it was not
taken off by war. He was shot at enough
during the war to have been mince meat; but
before the war he went cunning in Arkansas,
and his arm had to be amputated. With one
hand remaining, on certain occasion, he
stepped up i'll the street to Con. Catterson
one of the military chiefs of the state and a
Republican, and slapped him in the mouth
Every soul expected to see him shot to pieces
Catterson was SO astonished, and so admired
the pluck of the wiry little fellow, that he
put his hands down, bowed, AMI went on his
way

SEATS WANTED FOR SOLDIERS.

SEATS WANTED FOR SOLDIERS.
CHICAGO, June Gt-The evening session on
Wednesday was brief and uneventful The
rain kept no one away. The hall was densely
crowded, The heavy atmosphere made the
noise greater The air was warm,
and fans were in demand The first
thing done was to read a notice that
the credentials was not ready to re-
port during the evening. This caused a
stir, and it was at once seen that little bust
ness could be transacted. The great crowd,
which contained more ladies than usual, was
not prepared to go away without something
to see.
A. c. Matthews, one of the Illinois dele
gates, at the suggestion of Long John, made
the motion to issue 500 tickets to veteran
soldiers. There was considerable applause
from the platform, where the Illinois people
chiefly sat. Judge Thurston, of Indiana,
who is not for Logan, first, second or third,
objected as he could not see how or to whom
the tickets were to be distributed One Of
the Pennsylvania delegates moved to dis
tribute them pro rata to the chairmen of dele
cations. This rather discouraged the Loga n
men, and Powell Clayton said there were no
vacant chairs for which tickets could be is
sued. All the chairs and tickets were CORE
spondingly numbered, and all have been given
out. Matthews does not give up point
very easily, and said the veterans cou ID
take whatever chairs they found unoc-
cnpied. OF course, he said, they would give
them up when the holders of the proper
tickets came in. He accepted the Pennsyl-
vania mans suggestion. George V. Massey,
of Delaware, in spirit of irony suggested that
the tickets be given for distribution to COM
mittee selected from the Illinois delegates.
Some of the New York delegates shouted,
"Give them to Carter Harrison" The
motion Of Mr.. Matthews was voted down by
good majority.
motion to adjourn was then made, when
some one thought he espied Bob Ingersoll on
the platform, and set up cry for him. 1t
was taken up all over the hall, and for two
or three minutes the assembly stood up and
called for IngersoE The lecturer did not
respond, and when the chairman, after much
hammering and the assistance of the mar
shals, had obtained order, an adjournment
was voted until II o'clock a. IN.

Every flower of any note in the woods
or meadows in England is associated with
the memory of some sanity man or epoch
of earlier times. The snowdrop was IN
derstood to mark the feast of Candlemas;
the Canterbury bells not only cured throat
disease, hence called throat wort but kept
alive the holy memory of St. Augustine;
the lily of the valley was understood to
have first sprung from the sprinkled blood
of St, Leonard, slain in a wood near
Hastings, where st. Leonard's has since
been built. The harebell claims to be
worn by none but those who are true.
The black spots on the leaves of the
common arum, cuckoo pint, OF wake
robin, are due to the same cause that
colored the red hearts crimson chest or
twisted the cropbill's beak, for legends
differ as to which of these two birds
plucked out the nails from the cross.

Possible Dark Horses,

CHICAGO, June 6.-Among the many ru-
mors which are current is one that the refer
ence to Gen. Sherman in Chairman Hender-
sons address at Wednesdays session was
made with the purpose of feeling" the con-
vention on the subject of the old soldiers
nomination, and by special arrangement of
some the men who pull the strings. The
generals name, however, did not come in
right, somehow, and fell rather fat,
coming as it did, after the con.
vention had exhausted itself in the n,eriiora-
tion ovation to Blaine A telegram to Hen
derson from the general seemed to settle the
question, for he instructed Henderson to
positively, but courteously decline nomin-
alton for him, and said he had written more
fully.

GRANTS LETTERS.

General Grant has had but very few
defenders since the publication of his
letters to Fish. The firm of Grant &
Ward is now known to have been one of
the most stupendous swindles of the ace,
and Gen. Grants letters show that he
was willing to participate in the swindle
for the sake of the profit.
The person to whom these letters were
written is James D. Fish, president of
the Marine National bank. Fish had
endorsed and negotiated notes of Grant
& Ward to the amount Of $500, 900, and
becoming anxious as .to the prudence
of this act, he, on the fifth of July, 1882,
addressed letter to General Grant, in
the course of which he said
These notes, as l understand it, are
given for no other purpose than to raise
money for the payment of grain, etc, ito
fill the government contracts"
General Grant fastened to reassure
Fish, replying the very next day that
you, understanding in regard to our
liabilities in the firm of Grant & Ward
are the same as mine" In order TO make
the assurance still stronger, at later
hour in the same day, General Grant
wrote a second note to Fish. which is
worded in the following unmistakable
terms:
New York, July 6. 1892.
My DEAR Mr.. FISH In relation to the
matter of discounts kindly made bv Won
for account of Grant & Ward, | w0uld
say that think the investments are safe
and am willing that Mr.. Ward should
derive what profit he can for the firm tbat
the use OF my name and influence ma
brlng. Yours very truly,
II. S. GRANT
1t should be remembered that investor,
were told that the enormous profits prom
lsed were to be made out of government
contracts, which contracts, by the way
had no existence save on the books of tbt
firm. General Grant should have known
this, but for the sake of few dollars ne
tries to spread the idea that not only wer,
there such contracts, but, to make tb,
story more plausible that they were Sc
cured through his influence. This is wha
he meant when he wrote II am willins
that Mr. Ward should derive what prof
he can for the firm that the use of nv
name and influence may bring" Mr.. FISH
believed him, and as a result his bank is
ruined, his fortune dissipated and he him
self is Under arrest as common swindIer
1t is indeed pity that man of Gen
eral Grants position, who has been hon
ored by the American people beyond an,
other living persons, should be implicated
in a swindling transaction, but it is nont
the less true.
