Indications now point to the probability
that the Pennsylvania state senators will
vote themselves incompetent to punish the
peculators of the state treasury. That
is probably true. Yet they merely refer
TO a small matter of jurisdiction while the
real difficulty is question of honesty of
purpose and freedom from the thralldom of
partisan bias and party dictation. But the
result is just the same. If Philadelphia
really intends to rejuvenate she should
break away from Quay and compel the pun
dshment of those robbers.

Now They're Engaged.

FfOHe 4hWtocy " ScNty.
/ used to know little maid,
A blossom fair,
With eyes laughing. brownish shade,
With lips that seemed for kisses made,
And finer than an old brocade
Her silken hair.
Her frowns and smiles she threw on all
Like an expert;
And though but 10 years old and small,
A host of conrtiers she could call
To hold her fan, or glove, or shawl,
The little t1irt
used to be her willing slave,
All, happy lot
She scolded did misbehave,
And turned at once and quite forgave,
Because sine had some boon to crave,
The cunning toll
And we were just as chummy then
As chums could be.
Often do remember when
She wished that were only 10,
Because. she said, she hated men
All men but me
But time passed by, and year by year
We both have aged.
She's now IS, or very near
A reigning belle, calm and severe;
Thea. too, what makes it seem more queer
she is engaged.
Sometimes wonder If she thinks
OF days when she
Would sit in church aud tip me winks.
All, mol She's now frozen sphinx;
Aud she's engaged, the little mink
Engaged to mel

THE DEATH Of Lucien Bonaparte recalls to a
wide circle of English friends his residence in
Kensington, where he lived surrounded and
positively walled 10 by books. His passion was
to become the greatest linguist in the world,
and he spent years going from country to
country studying the different dialects. He was
made prince without his request, and, becom-
ing naturalized he died almost English coun-
try gentleman remarkable tribute to his
capacity. to his industry and his erudtion is to
be found 10 the fact that, as has been said on
good authority, there was no word In any Ian
guage or dialect of which he was unable to trace
the chronological source, while he absolutely
spoke no fewer than eighty different languages

When a Texan recently went cunning
near Bonham he shot three Of his neighbours
boys because of their alleged resemblance
to geese. Shooting them was bad enough
without adding to that painful blunder the
further indignity of charging them with
looking SO strikingly like geese that they
could not be distinguished from these pro-
verbally silly fowls at distance of few
yards. Really it is difficult to determine
which is made most ridiculous by the occur
ence. the laundering huntsman or the
goose-shaped boys. But there is no sort Of
question about who got the worst Of it.

Predestination is to be eliminated from
the Presbyterian creed. Under the advice
of a revising committee no more fatalism is
t. bo included in the confession of faith.
Calvinistic dogmas are all to be discarded
and the revision is to be so modernized as
to bring it fully up to date. This shows
that the alleged heretics have not been
wholly without their influence in the coun-
oils of the church. As most of those charged
with such offenses against accepted or:ho-
doxy were among the most learned and
thoughtful men In the church it is but
natural that their views should have due
weight

Quite remarkably novel political organ
ization is to be formed in Harrisburg by q
number of prominent Pennsylvania ladies Of
the democratic belief who are actuated by
sincere affection for Mrs. Cleveland as well
as great respect for Grover Cleveland and
uubounded admiration for little Baby
Ruth. Though the society is still in embryo
it has been decided to call it "The Sisters of
Ruth" Its declared sole object will be to
install that little lady IN the white house
nursery. OF course that would necessitate
the election Of the baby's papa TO the presi-
densy. Indisputably this is great world
and very funny are many of the inhab-
itants hereof.

The Crisis in Brazil.

1t is apparent that the situation in Brazil
Is very grave one There is widespread
discomfort and the movement in the differ

Fouseca, now virtually a dictator, has been
prompt in taking steps to maintain his au-

loyal to him he may succeed in restoring
peace. There is a strong probability, how
ever, that the forces at his command will
not prove to be sufficient to prevent the dis

the existing crisis calls for from one in his

The monerchists undoubtedly have been
quietly sowing the seeds Of discomfort ever
since the establishment of the republic
They have not had much difficulty in win

who were heartily in favor of the republic
when Don Pedro's government was over
thrown, but who have become disconnected
because they failed to secure the prominence
and influence they expected under a repub-

republic was established that it would not
last long. This prediction was based upon
the belief that the people vera not su6i-

operation and sustaining such gov

the population is scattered over
an immense territory that has little COM

and is ignorant of what is going on there.

very little about the republic, and it is moi
difficult to make them believe that the
general government is hostile to their in

1t looks as if troublous times we're in store
for Brazil. If the general government sue

integrity of the republic it will accomplish
more than many of its friends now expect.
