1t is notable fact that few persons

EVEN in cold, unsympathetic Russia they
have passions and sentiments, as the fol-
lowing story that comes from Moscow will
prove. A clever and beautiful girl had an
immense fortune left her to be paid into
her hands on the occasion OF her marriage.
Her friends tried to obliee her to marry a
man whom she could not endure, and she
had no money to take herself out OF reach
Of his attentions. So she sen for an
old begear man, to whom she had occa-
sionally given a few cents, and offered
him 300 roubles If he would stand up for
the marriage ceremony with her and
straightvay' leave the town and never let
her hear OF him again till news should be
sent of his death. He consented very
cheerfully and the marriage took place, all
the beggars of Moscow coming to see the
strange pair welded. In a few years the
girl: who is only % now will doubtless be
legally a widow, with the right to give her
hand to the obscure lover for whose sake
she went through the extraordinary cere-
mony. In the meantime she is rich and
free from suitors. II the fellow she is to
marry should get tired of waiting let the
lady cone to Butte and we will furnish her
with a man worthy of the fortune.

New York, Yonkers and the adjacent
towns and villages in W=stcbester County,
Kings County, part of Queens County and
Richmond County entire. This compre-
hensive scheme would give to the new
City Of Manhattan a magnificent frontage
on the seaboard and would provide for it's
natural and uhrestrained expansion along
the coast line and inland and along the
Sound, instead Of as now cramping the
vast metropolis with it's great population
and commerce within the narrow confines
of Manhattan Island, and leaving it but q
avenue for expansion, along the line
Of the Hudson, northward. Itwould make
it the superior OF London in all respects.
The idea Of annexing Brooklyn to New

only new but novel. That it might be
accomplished ID possible but we are OF the
that the Star will be a Methusalah
before its elaborate plan will be adopted.

The agitation for the establishment OF
postal savings banks is still being kept up
in the East and the indications are that a
concerted and determined effort led by ex-
Postmaster-G General James will be made
next session for their establishment.
Savings banks as at present conducted do
not quite reach the necessities of the multi
tude. They exist only in cities, and have
their patrons chiefly among the more pros
porous classes of mechanics and wage
workers. The establishment Of the
postal banks would in no wise inter-
fere with the prosperity Of those
existing institutions which are properly
managed, but. would have the incidental
effect to benefit them. Hundreds OF thous-
ands of people who never crossed the
threshold OF a bank and who never de-
a cent in their lives, would learn to
the familiar postofice the custodian
their occasional little SURPRISES. and
would be gradually educated into bank
The better class of depositors
would not, Of course, transfer their &C.
Thus the average poor man
would be the gamer and the banking in
none the loser.

The fight in England il still wagine with

The fight in England is still waging with
undated fury. Mr.. Gladstone is still the
Ajax OF the movement, and, although de.
feat is inevitable, he has decided to stay in
the field, or, as we used to say, Idle in the
last ditch" The defda at Of Trevalyn yes
terday was worth a b hundred other seats.
1t set the seal OF co ndemnation on his
r6wardly resignation from the Cabinet in
the trying hour, and proved that there
are still in England constituencies that
dare be free. The mo at notable event of
the day, however, was the letter of
John Bright. Conser Vative, honest, con-
scientious John Bright. Think how hard
the fight must be, when this man in the in
tensity of the strain feels called upon to
write of one OF his opponents. HE is a
Home Ruler, but he is no gentleman"
Only a month ago and no such utterances
could have been forced from the great
and yet he to-day
sits deliberately and writes the sentence.
Truly politics forces q man to do
many things that are foreign to his nature.
Happily, as yet Mr.. Gladstone, while he
may have been person nal in some of his
remarks, has not found it necessary to be
offensive. He has laul ed his friends and
his enemies, but throughout the
wonderful contest he has proven to the
people OF the world VII o are watching him
70 a~nxiously that he c an bear ''the grand
I'D name OF. gentleman !"

SPEAKING Of one of the ablest Senators
in the body, the Philadelphia News has thu
following to say OF the great Vermont
representative: Senator Edmunda, who
is famous for his sarcasm, has never let
his bitter vein crop out 50 strongly as in
his bill extending the appointing power Of
the President. Nominally the bill provides
that all appointments shall be made by
the President alone, except those of the
Cabinet officers, judges and heads O,
bureaus, and not by and with the ad vice
and consent of the Senate OF course,
there is no chance for the bill to become a
law, as it would be contrary to the pro-
visions OF the Constitution. It is not
likely that Senator Edmunds wants the
bill to become law, but only that its dis
cussion shall show how autocratic the
power OF the President really TO-.
At present the Senate rarely refuses to
confirm a Presidential nomination and. il
it do &C. under the present tenure-of-t.fice
act the President can suspend officials and
keep them continuously Suspended after
every adjournment OF the Senate. The
only good service that the Edmunds bill
performs is to show how desirableit is that
appointments and removals to and from
office shall be better regulated than they /
are now. 1t would be a good idea to make
The term OF Office for Presidential appoin.
;ees coterminous with the Presidents

to legal proceedings in court. ]

LEAD has shown q remarkable underc ur
rent Of strength; and sales have been very
liberal at all the distributing points. The
New York market heard with some anxiety
that twelve hundred toni OF Richmond had
arrived by sail, and it was feared that it
would break the backbone of the market,
but, to the contrary, a small pool of con-
sumers took the entire block, and it Jdisap.
peared from the scene of action, leaving in
transit from San Francisco the very small
supply of $50 tons. Stocks at New York
have been gradually melting away; will
not now exceed thirty five hundred tons,
and show every sign of being soon entirely
absorbed. The price has been very lteady
at $3.50, while several OF the holders insist
on 81 and some OF them are firm at 8
cents. The total sales OF the week at that
point will reach fifteen hundred tons,
which, in conjunction with previous sales,
make the handsome total for June sales
nearly five thousand tons. AtChicago and
St. Louis the deliveries will not aggregate
over 700 tons; but the price has been ex-
tremely strong at $40 and $4.75. There
seem to be no stocks worth mentioning,
either, east or west, and day by day we
feel more encouraged about the fall trade.
The only possible bar to arousing advance
is the English market, which continues dull
and ~listless, with sellers at els S., or
about $4.95, New York.

The recent French surveys have shown
that the magnitude OF the Algerian sea pro-
ject has been greatly exaggerated. No
large part Of Northern Africa can be
flooded, the Desert OF Sahara proving to
have an average height OF LOO feet, and
the only area below sea level being COM
prised in two ''chotts" commencing about
100 miles due west OF the Gulf of Gabes
and covering only about 3,1OO square
miles-less than half the area OF Lake
Ontario. The flooding OF the depressed
region would give a lake averaging seventy
eight feet in depth. The creation of a new
sea OF such size could hardly produce the
great effects upon the worlds climates and
upon the depth of the ocean which have
been foreseen in the s%peculations OF some
scientific writer's.

Soon after his inauguration President
Cleveland appointed a colored lawyer OF
New York named Matthews to succeed
Fred Douglas as Register OF Wills, a'lucra-
tive office in the District of Columbia.
There was a great howl set up by the
small fry politicians at the Capital over
the appointment, an d after q discussion OF
several months the Senate refused to con-
firm the nomination. OF course there had
BEEN any number Of trivial charges
preferred against Mr.. Matthews but
no one took any stock in
them, and it was only q day
or two ago that the real cause OF
his rejection leaked out. An exceeding re-
liable authority now states that nc Demo-
crat voted against the nomination and
that MI. Matthews was voted against by
the Republican Senators as body because
he happened to be q Democrat and a negro.
The colored friends v no went to Washing
ton in his behalf wer Q informed that Re-
publican Senators do not recognize Demo-
cratic negroes, do not ooncede their free
dom of political opini on, and do not pro-
pose to ware what they consider apos-
tasy by sanctioning their promotion under
Democratic Govern ment.
This sounds like a q reation Of pure fancy. |
It seems incredible; but this is what two
New Workers were told in Washing
ION last Monday by a distinguished Repub-
lean Senator to whom they applied for il.
ormation and advice, and this is what

which may not astbnish Mr.. Matthews

In an intelligent and well written article
on the labor trouble in the United States
the Catholic Sentinel of Portland sums up
the situation as follows:
"The present activity Of the labor organ
i~zations Of this country to obtain legisla-
lative relief from many of these evils is an
earnest OF the faith of those organizations
in u popular Government. Petitions
signed by tens of thousands of names for
the correction of land laws and the other
abuses here enumerated are pouring 10
upon the present Congress and the different
Legislatures. 1t is hoped that Congress
will have the good sense to obey the voice OF
the people. II they do not, the next
Congress will have q different COM
plexion. The ballot, honestly cast in ia
vor of honest men and measures, will be a
long step towards the correction and pre-
vention OF abuses. But all social reforms
involve more or less a moralreform. Legis-
lation cannot make good citizens, and
without a higher order of citizenship good
laws are a dead letter. Hence social and
political reforms predicate the reform OF
the individual, and the individual can only
b. reached by religion, which guides and
the appetites OF the heart. So,
with the best laws OF the world, we should
not have q perfect government without the
best of men and women"
