and the line of his presidential policy; and
1t is for this reason chiefly that we wait
it with so much curiosity and interest.
The failure TO invite Judge Thurman TO
take his natural place, at the head of the
cabinet of Democratic president, can
hardly be attributed to any other cause
than desire not to antagonize and offend
the enemies of the judge in his own state.
That desire would be proper one if those
enemies were reputable and if their griev-
ance against Judge Thurman was well
founded. But as they are not worthy of
high esteem, either for themselves or in their
motives, yielding to them will smack of
cowardce.
We have greatly misjudged Mr.. Cleye-
land if there is any such element in his
character. So that we confidently expect
him to hold Judge Thurman, as he is held
by the people, as the noblest statesman of
them all.

The NOblest Of Them ALL.

The Philadelphia Record of to-day copjed
IN approval the following paragraph from
the Washington Post 4: "The country
demands its best men in the cabi-
net. Mr.. Thurman is prominently of
that rank. That Ohio cast her electoral
vote for the Republican candidates renders
him no less statesman-no less clpable of
usefulness TO the public interests-no less
deserving of high public trust. A
courageous defiance of the elements that
antagonize him were better than tenn
porizing Difference to their clamor."
And that is just our opinion. Weawait
with much curiosity the discovery of the
view taken by President Cleveland upon
the matter Of putting Mr.. Thurman in
place at the head of his cabinet. II Is n
position for which he is so clearly indicated
py his pre-eminence in the esteem of the
people, that the failure to put him in il can
only spring from the hostility to
MN entertained by the Mclean
SET OF Ohio politicians. The fero-
cious airs and jabber of these Ohio
tom tits had such an effect upon the timid
delegates 20 the Chicago convention as 10
prevent the nomination Of Judge Thurman
Tor the presidency. He would Ger
tainly have been nominated if he
had not had arrayed against him this
opposition in his own state, contemp-
tibls as 1t was in its material. II
had absolutely nothing to urge against
Judge Thurman save that 70 49,,
him which was in truth creditable to
him.
The decision which President Cleveland
reaches as TO inviting Judge Thurman to
be his secretary Of state, twill serve to throw
q great deal Of light upon his character

tate, with long line of family traditions, and
the means In his hands of shaping his mansion
and his domain to his own taste without losing
sight of all the Characteristic features which sur
rounded his earliest years. The American is.
for the most part, nomad. who pulls down his
house as the Tartar pulls up his tent-poles. If 1
had an ideal life to plan for him it would be
something like this:
His grandfather should be wise, scholarly,
large-bralned, large-hearted country minister,
from whom he should inherit the temperament
that predisposes to cheerfulness and enjoyment
with the finer instincts which direct life to noble
aims and make it rich with the qualification Of
pure and elevated tastes and the carrying out of
plans for the good of his neighbors and his fell
low creatures He should, If possible have been
born, at any rate have passed some of his early
years. or large part of them. under the roof of

fathers successor. may be one of them-all its
interests he shall make his own. And from this
center his benefcence shall radiate so far that
all who hear of his wealth shall also hear of him
as friend to his race.
Is not this pleasing program? Wealth is a
steep hill, which the father climbs slowly and the
son often tumbles down precipitately; but there
is a tabe-and continuous with it, which NAV

Astout lady with short neck can wear lace
often as becoming as her swan-throated sister,
provided she does not attempt to snug it close
up under her ears, or to bunch it in wavy pro-
fusion abont her neck and shoulders. First,
then the lace jabot, hchus bertha. or neck

fat secondly, it should always decrease in
width. as 1t approaches the waist line, and
thirdly, it should never stop short here. but fall
into graduated points if possible, to several
inches below the belt, giving a longer effect to
the waist. 1t would also be well, before adjust

The last-named place, which General Stewart's
main force is reported to have reached already
is a town of considerable Importance on the
west bank Of the Nile. nearly opposite Shendy
1t has population Of about 8, 1000. 1t is divided
from the desert by line of low hills and from
the river itself by a belt Of cultivated land
Shendy, on the east bank of the river, which
now becomes the center Of interest in the Egyp-
tian campaign. Is famous as the place where
Ismail Pasha, the son OF the great Mehemet Ali,
was assassinated In 1921, and the town was, In
reprisal, razed to the ground by the Egyptians
The story ia good example Of eastern charac-
ter. Ismail Pasha had been deputed by his father
to collect some arrears of tribute from the fero-
cious chief who had been the scOurge of the
country. and who himself had earned the
soubriquet of the "Tiger of Shendy." Pitching
his tents, Ismail summoned "the Tiger to his
presence, and peremptOrily commanded large
supplies for his troops forthwith. With pre-
tended humility the "Tiger Of Shendy" pleaded
the poverty of himself and people, and declared
his utter inability to comply with the demand
In his wrath at this reply Ismail inflicted upon
him the objectionable insult of striking him
over the head with the pipe which he was smok-
ing, and threatened the Tiger" who, true to
his name, crouched, and, feigning absolute
submission, left the presence of the unsuspect-
Ing guest. All that night, amid the gayety of
the camp, the prince and his suite remarked
with satisfaction the immense quantities Of
the circuit Of the tents, especially the
huge piles around those of himself and suite.
They understood better the meaning Of the
Tigers" submission when, awakened before
the dawn of day, they found themselves encir-
cled oy a grdle Of flame, to prevent escape
from which the "Tiger" and his tribe with
leveled lances stood sentry, until the Prince and
his whole force were roasted alive in re-
venge for the insult, and Shendy was thus
made historic spot. Mehemet ALI to revenge
this reprisal, sent up his son-in-law the savage
Defterdar, who RACED the town, but the
"Tiger" escaped into the interior and was
never captured or punished.
So, for over sixty years, Shendy has been more
