EASILY CORRECTED.

Some criticisms are being published on
the act of the administration in extending q
formal reception on the part of the Govern,
ment to the Comte de Paris. That step was
blunder, judged by the strict rules OF in.
ternational politics; but the intention was
SO plain and can be so easily explained that
there is no reason to apprehend that it will
be serious one.
OF course every one knows that the idea
of the welcome was simply to extend a
welcome to distinguished Frenchman who
had added to his family distinction BY SER
vices as an officer of the United States, and
by his ability as historian. Unfortunately,
however, the official welcome of govern
ment is naturally extended to a parsonage
holding official position abroad; and the
only respect in which the Comte de Paris
can be deemed to hold official position is as
a claimant to the throne of France
Everyone in this country knows that
the United States has no sympathy
with the effort to restore the Bourbon
monarchy. But the most prominent feature
of the Comte de Paris European career, at
present, is the recent discreditable attempt
to subvert the French Republic in his in
terest. A personal welcome to the Comte
as a private individual, would have been
beyond criticism. An official welcome such
as is given to official representatives of
foreign nations visiting our country, sub
jects the nation to a most decided miscon-
struction.
If there is any misunderstanding, it can
be easily removed by informing the French
Government, that the United States in
welcoming the Comte did not recognize his
claim on the throne of France; but simply
offered national honors to a foreigner who
had been a soldier and historian of the
United States. That would be no more
than the truth; and the Comte de Paris him.
self could not object to frankly informing
the French Government of it. The United
States will never interfere in French politics,
and least of ali, in favor of an attempt to
overthrow the French Republic.

tion not only logically unnecessary-which
is matter of slight moment to the feminine
mind, even Of college towns-but points to
another conclusion even more destructive of
their position.
That is their innate consciousness that the
gentle though evanescent firtations of the
college youth have so much of compensa-
will foreswear them except as they are
bound together by mutual and solid obliga-
tons. Their position is exactly parallel to
the remarkable combination recently pro-
posed for the river coal interests, to combine
for the purpose of selling coal at loss. If
it was for the advantage of the coal men 10
lose their money they could do so indi-
vidually; and if it were for the advantage of
the Bethlehem girls to turn their backs on
the college students. no club ought to be re-
quired. The fact that the combination is
needed marks the undesirability of the prof.
ect, and foretells the failure of the at
tempt.
1t is not hazardous to prophesv that the
compact of the Bethlehem maidens to harden
their tender hearts against the students will
be short lived. They will each perceive
the necessity OF indulgence, in favor of
some special swain, and when that favored
young man strikes out into the world leav-
ing them behind, they will, until some
eligible successor establishes his title to the
position, comfort themselves with the su-
perior philosophy of the sentiment that 1t is
better to have loved and lost several times
over than never to have loved at all.

THE THUNpERER EoUIyocATEs.

The London Times reiterates the charge
that the Irish Famine Fund in this country
is cloak for scheming politicians. The
Tory organ seeks to prove this by tell
ing the world that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Depew are candidates for the Presidency,
that Mr.. Rutherford B. Hayes yearns
to re-enter politics, that New York's
only Colonel Shepard is Mr.. Depew's
newspaper organist, and that several
other promoters of the fund are very, very
wicked politicians. Some of these state
ments are true. some are reireshingly
new, and fiction and fact alike fail
to bear out the Times charge that the
appeal on behalf OF Ireland is simply bid
for the Irish vote in the United States.
The Times evidently thinks it best to be
silent about the object of the appeal; it does
not allude to the actual peril of famine in
ireland.

Event of To-Morrow Evening.
81 wish we could have wedding every

is to be one of the ushers at the ceremony to-
morrow evening, and. together with Mr.. ]. A.
Taylor, of Philadelphia. who will officiate in a
similar capacity, was claiming the privilege of
old acquaintance last evening, and making, as
they termed it, the life of the groom-elect
miserable. But the countenance of Mr.. Holmes
was not expressive of much misery as he in
turn answered the witty sallies and jokes given
him by his friends, and superintended the fin
ishing touches of the elegant suite OF apart
ments that are to be graced by the presence of
his charming bride upon the return from trip
to the Bermudas. The very best man for to-
morrow evening will be Mr.. E. Francis Jack
man, and the other ushers, beside Messrs. AL
den and Taylor, will be Messrs. ]. J. Miller, f.
5. Holmes. Harry Mcfarland William Davis.
William U. Dickens and DR.. James II. Thomp-
son.
A maid of honor, Miss Lyde McGregor will
be the only attendant of the bride, Miss Murphy,
whosefather, the noted lecturer, Francis Muir
phy, will deliver her into the keeping of the
groom at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening, in the
Calvary Episcopal Church. A wedding dinner
at the residence of Mr.. Thomas Edward
Murphy, on Shady avenue, for the bridal party
and relatives will precede the departure of Mr..
and Mrs. Holmes on the fast line.

CHICAGOANS TALKING CANAL.

Chicago, whose enterprise is of the sort
which habitually looks out for tomorrow
and even Tor next week, is reported to have
in contemplation a canal across the State oi
Illinois to the Mississippi. This sounds
like huge undertaking, even as a mere
prospectus. But Chicago has had such i'm
mense benefits from water transportation,
and is so quick to act where action is profit
able, that people are indisposed to discount
any scheme discussed in that quarter.
Meanwhile what is Pittsburg going to do
about the Lake Erie Canal? The water
traffic opportunities here are relatively as
big as in Chicago, bigger, in fact. because
so little has yet been done to take advantage
of them on large scale. Pittsburg could
bring the trade of the lakes to unite with
that of the Ohio and the Mississippi at its
doors, and rrotitably bear the cost itself,
rather than leave the work undone.
Assuming that the outlay on the Lake
Erie Canal would be non-productive from
the point of revenue above expense OF oper-
alton, the advantages still given for busi-
ness here and the enormous increase in
value of real estate throughout this section
of the country would far more than cover
interest on the outlay. Less than two per
cent of real estate valuation of the cities
and surrounding towns would build the
canal
But Of course, the canal would not be
nOn-productive. The returns from traffic
at very moderate scale of charges, it has
been estimated, would itself pay handsomely
on the work. Besides, Uncle Sam and the
State Legislature will lend helping hand

AN UNNECESSARY COMBINATION.

An organization Of the girls of Bethle-
hem, Pa, recently attracting some atten-
tion, has in it an illustration of the prevail
ing tendency of the time. Bethlehem is the
seat of an institution of learning. 1t seems
that the disposition OF the collegiate youth
to sport with the affections of the resident
fair and then 90 away leaving the town pop
ulated with college widows, has inspired the
girls to defensive measures. The spretde
iajuria forTGe in Bethlehem has crystalIized
in the shape Of an anti-students' club. of
which the maiden members agree to dis
countenance the attentions OF the students
and to absolutely place them under boy
colt. Nc exception is made as to students
who put themselves under bonds as to the
integrity Of their intentions, but we may
presume that mental reservations of the fe-
male mind will be found to cover such
cases for each member.
Accepting for the moment the view that
the feeting attentions of the Bethlehem
undergraduates place an undue strain on
the heart strings of the young women, and
are therefore wholly undesirable, the organ
ization presents a novel illustration of the
prevalent idea that it is necessary for people
to combine to do what each can do indi-
vidually. Given the damaging nature of
the collegiate social relations and the young
woman who independently eschews those
deleterious, but alluring attentions, will be
so much the better off The premise of the
Bethlehem maidens makes their organiza-

Sdne Salient Features of the Report of the
Governor of Alaska.
NEw YORK, October Lyman E. Knapp.
Goternor of Alaska. in his annual report to
Secietary Noble, says that the law prohibiting
the vale and manufacture of Intoxicating
liquoAs in the Territory is a dead letter as to
the Ihlians. Liquors of the vilest quality are
sold openly and in violation of the law. The
reason assigned is that prosecution would be of
no avail. Grand juries refuse to indict and
petit juEies refuse to convict. More effective
legislation would solve the question.
He calls attention to the inadequacy of the
laws for the administration of Justice, presery.
ing the peace and holding criminals for trial.
and recommends that commission be an.
pointed toprepare a short code of special laws
to be submitted TO Congress. The work of the
Government schools, OF which there are IA is
measurably satisfactory, though the attend
ance is not large.
About 100 eD6 full-sized sealskins were taken
by the Alaska Commercial COMPANY during
the year. and probably half as many more were
captured at sea By poaching vessels Other
furs, such as bear, mink, otter, etc., are taken
in large numbers. TIE codfshing industry.

ties be increased;, that Government hospitals
