IT is announced from Paris that Sardou and
Blanche Roosevelt are writing play to.
gcthcr. This will create genuine surprise in
America among those who know Blanche
Roosevelt or who know much Of her. She is
a very eTatic young woman and has had re.
markable career. She has been in Europe
several years and is married TO an impecunious
italian named Marchetta. Her maiden name
was Tucker, and she halls from one Of the New
England states. She came into notice about
ten years ago as a friend of the poet
LOngfcllOw, She had the art from the
first Of making the most of her opportunities,
and the fact that Longfellow wrote her kind
letter or gave her some mark of personal
esteem was made the most of by vocing II
about through the press She studied music
ard went ON the stage to sing In comic opera
Al the time of her debut the fact tina; Mr.
LOngfeilow took a friendly interest in her was
used to the utmost. Being yoang and a
blonde with large eyes and rather pretty face,
she attracted some attention through her per-
sUnal appearance, but artistlcally she was not
Il success and gave up the stage in short
time IL was then she Went to Europe, and
while in Italy she met and married Mr.. Mar.
chetta, She at first supported herself
abroad 10y writing for American journals.
She wrote in a gossipy disjointed sort of way,
showing great fOndness for calculations,
words, and phrases from French and Italian,
and pert sayings that hardly comported with
the strictest idea of literary dignity She
made but little headway as a letter writer,
but launched out undiSmaycd into the sea OF
fiction, and came forth about three years ago
with a novel called THE Copper Queen" 1t
was an American story, but had no great sue
cess in America, being full of the strangest
and most fantastic conceptions, much being
real downright nonsense. There We're, how
ever, some strong points in the story, and
these We're recognized more readily by the
reviewers abroad than those at home. 1t Is
this novel, THE Copper Queen" that Sardou
took upand Is dramatlzmg. lie says there are
dramatic situations in It that have not been
recognized. Miss Roosevelt has been working
ON SaTdou fora long time TO get him inter
cstcd IN her book, Her industry Is no
less remarkable than her assurance. She
is what may be called Il thoroughly cheeky"
go'ahcad American woman, and she has pulled
at Sarduu's coat tails till she has made herself
famous In a day by having her name assO-
ciatcd with his in the writing of play II Is
the first time Sardou, who Is the greatest Of
living dramatists, though something Of a char
latan, has ever cullaburatcd with any one in
the construction OF a play hence the honor 10
Miss Roosevelt Is not TO be denied Three
acts have been completed and the entire play
win soon be ready for production, There Is
no guessing the luck Of an American woman
WHO goes 70 Europe, whether II be to marry
titled husband or write Il novel.

DcmoCrnts on Ehmrntinm.

If amy man ever fully represented an all
mmistratuu and It's followers, In aud ont Of
Congress, that man was ex-senator Wallace
when Inc presided over the Pennsylvania
Democratic convention. That convention
was entirely dominated by federal officials,
under the control Of Congressman Scott,
who was himself specially deputed to
manage it aud given the unlimited control
Of executive patronage for that purpose.
Senator Wallace, selected by Scott as
chairman, said;
NJ man who now votes anywhere should be
deprived or that right during his life, but We
should cocrco him to educate his children
aud put a spur In the head Of every boy Of rs
and Of every foreigner seeking TO help govern

This comes from man in full sympathy
with the Democratic majority in the House
the majority which pcrsstcntly refuses 70
permit vote on the Blair educational bill.
That majority refuses, from Il pethUric
treasury, the accumulatous In which are
country, to aid IN the education of the k.
uorant, millions Of whom are annually ar
riying at the age when they can vote, with.
out lcing able 'to read and write the Eng
lish," or any other language.
MrWGllace, speaking for this Democratic
majority aud for President Cleveland, pro-
poses to dislranchise these persons, kept 1"
ignorance by the act Of hi, majority ut the
suggestion nf President Cleveland Nero
hai his cdicts inscribed on parchment in the
smallest letters, attached the pdrchmcnts ia
| the tops of the highest pillars In Rome, ana
then punished violatOrs of these unknown
| laws. From that day TO this no more cruel
proposal has been made.
II is highly proper that every citizen VINO
exercises the high privilege of governing
through the use of the ballot should be
able to read and write. The Republican
party has always favored education because
the principles Of the Republican party
| flourish most where education is most gen
cral, ana We're It universal these principles
would he universally accepted.
1t was Republican senator who intro.
duced and Republican Senate that passed
the Blair bill, but no such proposal will be
accepted by them as that made by the
mouthpiece of the administration-the
chairman of the Scott convention Of Office
holders in Pennsylvania.
Let the government first give the aid it is
amply able to do to the states and thu.
enable them to provide the means Of educa
| tiOn for ALL and then IL will he time to con.

Fast Ocean Steamers.

Tie North .imcricau Rcciew for June
contains an interesting discussion of the
question "Are fast or slow steamers the
saicst.n Tie question was sent to the cap
tains of some Of the leading Atlantic liners,
and their answers are highly interesting to
the lOndsmen who contemplate voy-
age across the ocean. They are almost
unanimous In the belief that the faster the
steamer the less the danger. Capt, Sam
ucl Brooks, Of the Arizona, who has made
80 passages across the Atlantic, puts 1t in
tltis fashion;
First II you have danger to encounter,
tie sooner you get over Il the better, aud II
,ue steamer takes seven and another ten days
to cross the Atlantic, II Is evident that you
have three more days Of risk in the slower
.ll.
Secondly. \ fast steamer will run through Il
Golrul wind and reach line weather much
quicker than slow one, and the same holds
good in regard to banks Of fog, Unless there
J., irr IN the vicinity, always maintain that II
j, tie safest plan to run through fog bank a-
speedily as you can
Thirdly. If collision takes place between
two vessels you may depend upon II that the
enc going fastest viii sustain the least dam
il,.
This (, the way practical sailor looks at
rIr problem. Capt, Brooks has reduced
into the briefcst form the views Of nearly
an the other captain, who made replies. \
single exception to this opinion IS that of
Capt, FUugcul, Of the French steamer LII
boUrgogue, who says "that while extremely
last ships lessen the duration Of dangers,
they increase the number OF dangers" This
leaves the question almost where It was be-
fore which horn of the dilemma will you
takc--Ihe less duration Of dangers or the
greater numhCrY
Whatever may be the facts IN the case
enc thing is ccrtaiu-tho whole tendency Of
he shipbuildng Of the day Is 10 make fast
vessels The best time that has so far been
made in crossing the Atlantic is a little over
six days, Two steamers arc being built for

WHATEVER may be the ultimate effect of
Mr.. Blaine's second letter Of declension, the
immediate result is a spontaneous outburst
Of admiration for his manliness and self
abnCgnHtiOn from the entire press of the
country, the wcl-soured and disgruntled
New York Times alone excepted. The New
York Stm puts its praise into these hand
some words:
This is a memorable event, and II sets Mr..
Blaine very high in the admiration and respect
of the American people, Of whatever political
denomination. We have had our controver.
sizes and our warfare with Mr.. Blaine In times
past, but we cannot withhold the tribute of
our esteem for an act Of such manly and heroic
steadfastness as lie has now performed, and
repeated in the face Of the most earnest per
suasion and the greatest temptation that can
