Two OniuiOuS.

George Alfred Townsend, in a letter 10
the Cincinnati Enquirer, quotes Judge
Burke with reference to 5. B. Elkins, who
managed Blaine's campaign, as follows:
s'The more meet him the more | am i'm
pressed with the mans wonderful ability
and capacity. He is one of the great men
of this country, destined to make great
marx. He is wonderfully well posted in
all the questions of statecratt, both IN
Europe and America, and amazes me
sometimes with his breadth of infOrma-
ton"
Mr.. Elkins may be a very brilliant and,
in fact, a wonderful man, but there are
pIen. OF men in his party, perhaps, who
do not have a very high appreciation of
his capacity as political manager. He
had splendid opportunity to show great
ability as Blaine's manager, but 1t IS
pretty generally admitted that he was
couspicuous failure. He did not under
stand. and could not be made to under
stand. that the battle was to be fought or
won in New York. He had a sort of
wild idea that Blaine could be elected
without New York. He acted on his idea,
and his candidate was defeated.
S.W. Dorsey, of star route fame, hasn't
a lofty opinion of Mr.. Elkins' ability as
politician. lie was one of party OF
gentlemen who went to Florida few
DAYS ago. and between this city and
jacksonville the last campaign was dis
cussed. Mr.. Dorsey stated very frankly
his opinion OF Mr.. Elkins as manager
OF a great political campaign. While
entertaining great respect for Mr.. Elkins
as man, he did not think that ne was
anywhere near big enough for the place
he attempted to I'LL in the late Presiden-
tial contest. Mr.. Dorsey ought to be able
to gauge Mr.. Elkins' capacity pretty
fairly, since he himself has the reputa-
ton of being about as shrewd a pOliti-
clan as there is in the country. He led
TIE Republican party to victory when
Garfield was its candidate, and at the
outset Garfield's prospects were not much,
if any. better than were those Of Blaine.

An Interesting Talk With Couple O
Natives of Palestine.

An Interesting Talk with Couple of
Natives of Palestine.
Miss Lydia Mamreoff Won Finkelsteiu
and her brother, Mr.. Peter Mamreoff Won
Finkelstein of New York, who formerly
lived in Jerusalem, says the st. Louis
Republican of Feb. Is, left the city last
night for Florida, after a short visit to
their sister-in-law, Mrs. Won Finkelstein,
of No. 1913 Selby place. They go to Flor.
ida to open the first session of the Chau-
taudua winter assembly at Lake de
Funiak with a lecture on "Modern Life
in Palestine" which they Illustrate by
cOstuming and acting.
NATIVE OF PALESTINE.
They are of SclavOnic parentage, their
father having been a merchant in Jeru-
salem, where they were born and bred.
They came to this country in 1879 on ac-
count of the RussO-Turkish war, and
have lived in New York since, featuring
in the winter season in different parts of
the country, principally New England.
They give an interesting account of the
different classes of religious people who
are to be seen at Jerusalem. The prin-
cipal occupation of the inhabitants is the
manufacture and sale of various articles
of interest to travellers, of whom between
every wear, OF these few hundred are
10000 and $4,000 visit the city
European tourists and the rest are Chris
tan and MOslem pilgrims. The former
are nearly all of the Greek church, with
a thousand Roman Catholics and few
hundred PrOtestants. The MOham-
medans, who are far more numerous than
all the Christian sects combined visit
the city for the purpose of paying hon.
age at the tomb of Moses near by ON the
banks of the Jordan. The population of
the city is about $4,000, of whom $4,000
belong TO the Greek church; 10000, nearly
all Arabs. to the Roman Catholic church,
about LOCO to Protestant churches,
$4,000 to the Jewish church, and the rest
are MOhammedans. Among the few hun
bred of the Protestant creeds various
shades of belief are represented, though
there are only two Protestant church
buildings. one of which is an Angli-
Episcopal and the other Lutheran
church.
JERUSALEM CRANKs.
A large number of religious cranks are
to be found among the little band who
represent Professionalism in the Holy City.
Among these are the MennOnites and
Hoffmanites. who claim they are sent to
prepare the way for the coming of the
Lord. Another sect, the "OYercomers,"
who claim they can paralyZe the devil,
are from Illinois-a number from Chic
ago. s'The Age to Come Heralds" are
from Boston and other progressive points
in New England. These people, who
number ABOUT twenty-five, propose to
rebuild the temple. These two last
named sects believe in a community of
goods, and seem to be little troubled
about ANYTHING except hard points of
faith. 1t is related that husband and
wife separated because he belonged to
the cage to Come Heralds' while she
was satisfied with being nothing less
than an ''0vercomer."

The way the price of land continues to
fall in Scotland attracts attention. A
farmer has recently paid e, 800 for the
privilege OF surrendering a leasehOld
farm, and a property has just been sold
for $4,000 which a few years ago cost
$4,000. such facts have led French
fuancier to the startling prophecy that
few years hence the European Continent
viii be nothing but casino for the white
races Of America, Africa and Australia.
Agriculture in Europe is played out, he
says, and her factory and mining INDUS
try will be similarly supplanted by the
vast coal fields and infinite petroleum Of
Russia in Asia and by the mineral wealth
Of America, China, Australia, and the
stin uhexplOred mountains of New Yea
land. This alarmist winds up with the
consoling remark that England may make
a livelihood as training place for boys,
because its climate favors open-air mus
eular exercise.

The Gable Literary Club, Of Browns

The proposition to abolish Imprisonment
for debt does not seem to enlist the SYM
pathies of the retail dealers in New York.
There is still an idea in that State that a
man can be made to pay money which he
hasn't got by putting him in Jail where he
can't earn anything either to pay with or
with which to support his family. New
York is away behind the spirit of the
nineteenth century.

Alta meeting OF the New York COngre-

President, Roswell Smith, proprietor Of
the Century magazine, who, by the way,
is rot a minister. expressed himself very
plainly. If not bluntly, with regard to MIR.
Evarts' statement in his Union League
Club speech that the South remained in
heart. substance and purpose" what it
was in 1860. Mr.. Smith declared, amid
the cheers and laughter Of his auditors,
that "a man who has the audacity to stand
up in the Union League Club and assert
at this time that there has been no change
in the sentiment Of the South IN the past
twenty-five years lies under mistake, to
say the least Of it." Mr.. Smith said that
he himself was so disguised with this ut
terance Of Mr.. Evarts that he rose and left
the room on hearing it.
