Adolphe Belot's Presentiment.

Here is a true, strange story of Adolphe
Belot, the writer of a shelfful of clever but
highly improper novels, who died few days
ago. About a fortnight before his death he
called at Dentus to settle an agreement for a
new story. When the matter had been ar.
ranged: says Paris Figaro, he suddenly en-
claimed
Y want you to add another clause to that
agreement"
What is thatf"
4 want you to undertake, when die, to pay
But, my dear sir, replied his interlocutor in
astonishme t, whatever are you thinking
about?" We could not think OF inserting such
clause in an agreement for new book
But" objected Belot, walking up and down
tho room with his hands in his pockets 1T is
very small matter for you have made in
quiries, and fnd that a funeral such as l want
will cost only 925."
But it is impossible
very well, then, " Belot resumed, ''shall we
manage 1t another way? Will you undertake to
pay 1000 francs Co the person who will present
demand for that sum, in my name, the day
after my deAthr'
The publishers were still astonished, but they
undertook to make the payment; the partner
with wsom the conversation took place saying it
hardly mattered, since the obligation would not
TALL upon him, but his SUCCESSORS.
How do you know?'' said Bslot, as he went
out; You may have to pay a good deal sooner
than you expect"

The silver Bins Prospects,

| Notwithstanding the efforts Of the Presi-
/ dent to defeat the silver bill there IS every
/ reason to think that It will be passed by the
I House. The House was against the free
/ coinage Of silver at the last session. and de-
feated a measure authorizing it which was
! passed by the Senate Quite a number Of
representatives, however, who we're opposed
TO free silver coinage a year ago are now
willing to vote for it, not because their
views with respect to it have undergone a
charge. but because they are satisfied that
the country wants it.
The President is. of course, hostile to free
silver coinage, and is using his Influence
with representatives to defeat it. Accord
ing to our dispatches he is promising out
going republican representatives good
Offices if they will vote against it. He
understands that he would lose popularity
in the eastern states if he were to sign the
free coinage silver bill. and would greatly
lessen his chances in the west for a renomi-
nation if he we're TO veto the bill. There
fore he d5esn't want the bill to reach him.
He would much prefer that the House
should shoulder the responsibility of de-
feating it.
From present indi 'atio1s, however, he
will be greatly disappointed. There seems
to be no doubt that the coinage committee,
which has charge of the bill, will report it
fayorably. and that it will not take the
House long to reach a vote upon it. The
majority in favor of it may not be large,
but there is no ground for a reasonable
doubt about it's being passed.
What the course of the President
would be if the bill should
reach him is a matter about which
there Is great deal of specula-
ton. The silver men think that he would
not have the courage TO veto it, and they
point out that the bankers AMI business men
Of the large eastern cities are not as active
In their opposition to free silver coinage as
they were a year ago. This comparative
indifference in financial and commercial
centers to the proposed silver legislation
may not be without its effect upon the
President. If he becomes satisfied that
there is quite general willingness to give
free silver coinage trial that may influence
him to sign the bill if it should reach him,
whatever his opinion of the wisdom of the
measure may be.

Investigation is Not Iconoolasm


Verify, this is an iconoclastic age,n the
poets tell u.s. Really, it is an age of inves-
tigation. That is much more meritorious.
Demolishing sacred beliefs and exposing
fallicies that have been long credited are
actually two different things
In any event another long cherished ira
dition has gone to smash. Don Juan is no
more. That is to say, his reputation is
destroyed. Close scrutiny was too much
for him. Some deliver in the dust OF his
tory adduces evidence to show that the
supposedly reckless Seville noblsman, whose
name has for centuries been a synonym for
the most dissolute and prodigal course
of conduct. was in reality not
nearly so black as he has
been painted in drama and romance. That
he was a somewhat feather-brained fellow,
who sowhi rather more than his lawful
share Of Spanish oats In his ''rash aud lusty
youth" is freely admitted by the veracious
chronicler. But he undertakes to mitigate
this adolescent folly by the statement that he
grew better and wiser with advancing
years, and when quite old and feeble re-
pented and became quite reprehensibly
respectable by spending his declining days
Sin house with a balcony, and large
window" Finally he became a good
Christian by bequeathing all of his money
to an hospital when he died.
That version of the story doesn't sound
altogether plausible. Nevertheless it is
not unsuStained by corroborative evidence.
Fortunately, human nature has a strong
tendency to reform when the attractions Of
vice pail upon itand Strengthening shadows
Indicate the suns decline. Living In resi-
dence with a bay window" in itself is not
devoid of manifestations of aspiration to
| responsibility. 1t also reveals quite lively
though entirely decorous interest in the de-
veloping beauties of nature. Beside all this,
the possession Of sufficient worldly lucre to
endow hospital constitutes proof incon-
| trovertible to establish beyond peradvent-
| ure the theories Of the British investigator.
II it doesn't prove all Of that, what does it
proves
Meanwhile the time-honored romance and
the opera that is founded upon it are
not languishing. They are all right. They
do not even seem to know that their parent
age is in dispute.
Only short time ago some scavenger in
the ash-barrels of history claimed TO have
discovered evidence sufficient to destroy the
accuracy of William Tells aim, 80 to speak.
and discredit the whole story But he
couldn't prove it. So the opera based upo n
the incident goes serenely on.
Nothing in history nor histrionic tradition
appears to be sacred to these indefatigable
inspectors of historic intestines Nothing
escapes their searching scrutiny. Most of
their discoveries turn out absurdly baseless.
Still, they do find out something once in a
great while. And as their disclosures do no
harm, why not let them searchl Nothing
is injured thereby. II we are to cherish
traditions it were just as we'll to get them
straight first.

Michigan proposes to prohibit the isSu-
ance of free railroad passes to members of
the legislature, state and judicial officers,
and imposes heavy penalties on those who
may violate the law BY giving or receiving
them. Like most prohibitory measures. it
will not work. Means will be found to get
around or over it. Therefore the Philadel-
phia Ledger makes the sound suggestion
that far better plan would be to pass q
law requiring all railroads in the state, in
return for the privileges granted them, to
give free passes to all members of the legis-
lature and state officers. These officials
then get their passes by right, and are
under no obligations to the officers of the
companies for the privilege they enjoy.
Such sensible idea would apply with
equal force to other states beside Michigan.
