An International Conference to be Held
in Washington in October.

The following countries have thus far
accepted invitations to participate in an
international marine conference, to be
held in Washington, beginning October
10th next: Great Britain, Germany,
France, Italy, Denmark, Russia, Bel
GUM, Mexico, Brazil, Chill, Costa Rica,
Guatemala, Hawaii, Japan. the Neither
lands, Nicaragua, Spain, Sweden and
Norway, Uruguay and Honduras.
The United States will be represented
by board of seven persons, and it is
expected that the larger powers, will
have the same number of representa-
tives. The smaller countries, it is
thought, will generally be represented
by their Ministers, assisted by one or
more technicians in the subjects before
the conference. The American board
has framed a programme of subjects to
be considered, and this has been made
public.
The proceedings will be in. English,
though representatives speaking other
languages will doubtless make their mo.
tons and propositions in their native
tongue and their words will then be
translated.

AN EXCELLENT MAN,
Mr.. Clarkson's appointment One of tn
Happiest Made by the President.

Mr.. Clarkson's appointment One of the
Happiest Made by the President.
We congratulate President Harrison
on the fact that Mr.. John S. Clarkson,
who was entitled to Cabinet position,
has been induced to accept one of less
rank, but requiring a rarer combina-
ton of executive qualities, tact, iudg-
ment and energy than are essential to
success in some, at least, of the Cab
met places. The position of First As
sistant Postnhster-General was not
only not sought by Mr.. Clarkson, but
he was very reluctant about taking it.
He knew what the conscientious and
courageous performance of the duties
of that Office involved. But he has IN
dertaken to serve where he seems most
needed, and the President and Post
master-General, especially, will feel
greatly relieved by his decision.
MIR. Clarkson is known as one of the
ablest and most respected editors in
the Northwest, where his news paper,
the Iowa State Register, has been a
great power for Republicanism of the
most stalwart and highest sort His
services to the party as vice-chairman
of the Republican National Committee
during the last campaign were of the
most important character. and no
member of that committee secured
more OF the admiration and high re-
gard of the Republican leaders who
had relations with the committee.
As on old and experienced news
paper man he is peculiarly qualified
to direct an administration of the
postal service that will be up to the
requirements of the times; progressive,
yet careful and judicious, and re-
sponsive to the growing needs of the
country. His large knowledge of the
Republican leaders. whose advice and
demands as to appointments will have
to be considered, will enable him to
act with an enlightened judgment
In the prime Of manhood, with a
noble record behind him and with
high purposes and ambitions to in
spire him, we believe that he will
make as efficient, successful, popular
and useful First Assistant Post
master-General as ever served the
public. The virulent and baseless
attacks made on him will not harm
him. They are the revised calumnies
OF scandalously abusive and reckless
sheets, and the Times can not put new
life intoothem by its Endorsement of
lies and malignant abuse.-N. Y. Mail

Honest Talk from a Democrat.

1t is good sign when such prom
inent Democratic newspaper as the
Brooklyn Eagle rises above partisan
ship to denounce with the plainest
speech the contemplate outrage in
West Virginia by which Republican
Governor is kept from his seat The
Eagle warns the Democrats of West
Virginia of the dangerous precedent
they are establishing. and it bluntly
advises General Harrison to order
Federal officials in dealing with the
Governor of West Virginia to recog-
nize no one but the honestly-elected
Governor, General Golf. 1t says that
on the returns he has been elected,
and that no man has right to stand
between him and majority of the
people. These are brave words. all

body'd a thought the earth stopped

body went on. 1t was like, even here
in Charleston, like black cloud that
covered the sun" The dim old eyes
became blurred ay the sad memory.

ward boy full of fun and stories and
kindness, so big and strong and gentle
with every thing weak and helpless. to

Them that does has got a thing to

streets, strong men, and cried. l

weeks after he was laid away at
Springfield. Thar wasn't any tradin'

him after the war was over! Dennis,
Honest Abe's dead. I've heard that
in the night and in dreams in the day
time for twenty years, and l can't be-

and the voice trembled.
When left the old man had fallen
asleep again. his trembling hands
clasped idly, leaning back in his chair
and on his stick. The last rays of sum
set flooded the old-fashioned room and
bent figure and bathed them in glory.
What a privilege his had been, to
teach the great emancipation to write
his immortal name first on a puncheon
floor with bit of charcoal, and to
see those wonderful eyes gazing in
at the awkward charac-
ters with dim understanding that
they meant himself whenever he
should trace them!
One sentence of the afternoons talk
remains with me as a fitting epitaph
for the great man of whom we spoke
with hushed voices: Thar was jist
one thing Abe Lincoln didn't know:
He didn't know how to be mean; to do
a mean thing or think a mean thought.
