Peculiar Theory.

and Purely Defensive.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 29.--The Novoe
Vremya, today, publishes an interview
with Admiral Gervais, of the visiting
French squadron, in which he declares
that he has not been entrusted with a
political mission to Russia. but only to
convey the friendly sentiments of the
French government and it's people. The
entente between Russia and France, the
Admiral declares, is analogous to that
between the members of the dreibund,
and purely defensive.
The text sof the czar's telegram to
President Carnot, in regard to the visit
of the French feet at Cronstadt, is as
follows: 'The presence Of the fleet is
fresh testimony Of the profound sym
3pathy uniting France and Russia,
have at heart to express to you my warm

APoPULAR MILLIosAIRE

The recent actiOn of Governor
William X. Merriam, Of Minnesota,
in stopping the prize fight In 81.
Paul brings to mind the fact that he
IL popular with the people Of his
city and state. II il not probable
that any other man who possesses q
million or more dollars could be
elected 10 Office In any western state.
In the winter OF 1857 snd 1855 there
was q great social and political
rivalry between two st. Paul
bankers, w. r. Merriam, president
Of the First National and Albert
scheffer, president Of the German
American National banks. Both
were popular aud both are Republic
cans. Long hung the contest doubt
full, but finally Scneffer declared
himself I'm favor of the former plat
form which had been adopted by q
coterie Of demagogues. headed by the
notorious Ignstius Donnelly, "the
sage Of Nininger," q small hamlet
on the banks Of the Mississippi, in
Dakota county. The fact Of Sehef-
fer's declaring himself for the far
mers was Of itself no great sin, had
it not been that The Republican
party Of Minnesota, as In Kansas, Is
made up almost entirely Of farmers.
From the moment Seheffer's
manifesto" wss issued declaring
himself In sympathy with Donelly
and his crowd Of hypocritical purists
aud pseudo reformers he was q dead
duck. His supporters In the city Of
81. Paul rallied calamity to his sup
port and carried the city fer him,
but lt was Of no use. The real far
mers had It In for him, and when
the farmers who were drawn into the
DOnnelly movement, discovered Its
true character, they turned against
him. when it came to the election
Millionaire Merriam carried the
state over all others by about 10000
majority; the Democrats, who were
reinforced by large number Of mug
wump tariff reformers, the third
party prOhIbitionists, who were
strong aud had In nomination .
strong and popular Republican,
Hugh Harrison, OF Minneapolis, and
the reformers under Donnelly, and
Q few others, all OF whom constituted
the opposition.
The moral to this IL that the man
who sdheres strictly to his principles
IL bound to be successful In the end.
He may receive . few temporary
checks, but they should Ouly serve
to test his mettle, and strengthen
him In the faith wherein he stands.
Albert Schefier II q poor man, COM
paratively, IL honest with this one
exeeptlon) popular with the masses,
and In every way competent TO be
the governor Of his state, but this
one act Of his In making . plain sac
rifiee Of principle has buried him,
politically, forever. There are whole
volumes Of warning In his downfall
for ambitious young Republicans.
