Courtlandt Palmer died before he had accom-
plished the second great aim Of his life-the es-
Establishment OF newspaper which should bear to
other newspapers relation Ike that borne By his
Nineteenth Century Club to other debating socie-
ties IL was to have the same name as the club.
THIS fact at once suggests the question why, In
this very late part OF the nineteenth century the
soealled progressive spirits christen their literary
and social ventures IN lis honor. 1t has been a
great century, but there Is no reason TO suppose
that its SUCCESSORS Will not surpass IL In every re-
spect, and when a new century does come In, as
tt Will In the course OF only a dozen years every
thing that bears the stamp OF the nineteenth Will
be oft OF date. That which Is abreast Of the times
now, by virtue OF It's title, will be behind the times
then; that which was progressive will appear re-
Prospective only. Why do not the thinkers who
like Mr.. Palmer, boast that they are In advance OF
their generation, borrow the name Of the twen-
tieth century for their enterprises?

Much interest Is excited In France by the pros
pect that the autobiographic memoirs OF the great
Talieyrand are soon TO see the light. His own last
request was that they should not be published I'LL
thirty years after his death. As he died in 1888.
this period would have expired two years before
the Franco-Prussian war, when the third Napo-
leon was at the height OF his glory. The nephew
OF his uncle" had some good reason evidently.
Tor not wishing TO have the work brought
out Just then; for he bribed the Talley-
rand family, by comforting a dukes title
upon one member OF IL, TO put on the publication
for at least ten years, and some versions OF the
story say twenty or twenty-five At any rate,
when 1873 came the memoirs did not, but there
are rumors In the air OF literary Paris that the
work will now soon be out. The career OF the
nrst Napoleon has been 50 often described that a
casual observer would fancy there was no more
work for the biographer In his case. The intimate
acquaintance with him enjoyed by Talleyrand
however, and the merciless keennes5 OF that
princes dissectng knife when he chose 70 apply It.
10 the characters OF his cotemporaries make it
probable that the reading public has rich SEN
sation In store, as well valuable contribution
TO the literature Of one OF the most interesting
eras Of the worlds history.

Representative John d. Long has made good his
promiseihat he would not be a candidate for re-
election, by addressing letter 10 his constituents
which admits Of no reading between the Lines. 1t
u q plain statement OF his reasons for giving up
his place In Congress after six years trial of It.
and at the same time includes vindication OF the
reputation OF Congressman generally on the score
OF public spirit and unselfshneSs. Mr.. Long puts
the matter very gracefully, showing charity for
his foes as well as admiration for his friends.
however obnoxious their views may sometimes
be 20 your judgment" he writes, "this is
substantially body OF good and true men, es-
pecislly Jealous to promote what they believe to
be the interests Of the constituencies they repre-
sent somewhat similar In tenor are the remarks
OF another retiring statesman, Senator Palmer, OF
Michigan, who Is quoted as saying, as the result
OF bis experience here, that "public men are much
better than they are believed TO be-" "They talk
about Senators buying their way into the senate"
he ACIDS; 81 do not believe that more than six
Senators can be named who have paid
anything but legitimate and necessary ex-
pensss In order to secure their cleo
tion-' What Mr.. Long leaves to be inferred

Palmer puts into specific form regarding the
Senate by drawing the line at six. Nov 1t would

from 30 authoritative a source as Mr.. Palmer, who
the half-dozen senators are who might be, per-
haps open TO suspicion; and, also, what oflenSes
against public morals the senator from Michigan
suspects them OF having committed. Whether
Mr.. Longs substantially" conveys as serious a
suggestion Of the presence OF men in the House
who are not "good and true" as Mr. Palmer's
mot more than six" does In the case
OF the Senate, only a candid explanation from both
gentlemen Will determine. washingtonians, who
meet the Senators and Representatives face 10

duct In public affairs than their constituents at
home, have reason TO regard them as a creditable
body OF representative men, who give fair value
