IF the dispatches are to be relied
upon, it is very near time for st. Jerome
Edmunds, the distinguished ex-senator
from Vermont, to show up in Los
Angeles to benefit by our unrivaled
climate. According to the New York
newspapers, which had him interviewed
on his return from Europe, Mr.. Ed
munds hurried back from abroad to cast
his vote for Harrison. His intentions
were strictly honorable, but even the

IT is beginning to be very apparent
that the utmost the delegates from the

More Trouble For Havtt.

A special from Kingston, Jamaica,
says: A strong party of Haytian ex-
lies, headed by General Legitime, are
negotiating for the charter of small
schooner called the "Willie Irving,,

lnagua, where they expect to meet a
steamer fitted out to proceed aaainet
President Hyppolite. The generals
agreed to work in conjunction q

polite is ousted they will abide by the
choice OF the people as regards who
shall be president, the other two to be
appointed to lucrative offices. Those
who claim to know affirm that Mani
gat is the favorite in Hayti.
None of the generals will have any
thing to say regarding the expected
steamer, but they do not deny that it
is expected.

Spain Fears a Cuban Revolt.

Mr.. McNutt, special attorney, 10
now at San Sebastian, pressing upon
Signor Rohledo, minister of the colo
MES, the claim made by Mr.. Foster.
The American secretary of state, rela--
tive to the commercial treaty betweenI
Spain and the United States. At the
outset of the negotiations Senior
Robledo held that the introduction
into Cuba of the numerous articles
that the United States government
demanded should be included in the
new treaty, would render all industry
and commerce in Cuba impossible.
Signor Robledo is modifying his atti-
tude and is disposed to concede part
of the American claims. The minis
ter of the colonies is hampered with
fears of conflict with Cuba. The
Nationalist Union is the party in the
island that is attacking the govern
ments financial and tariff policies, and
especially the farming out o. Cuban
customs and the scheme for the con-
version of bonds.

Frick in Homestead.

FL. G. Prick, chairman of the Carnes
gle Steel company, limited, visited tho
steel works at Homestead Wednesday
morning and spent several hours in
speeding various departments. He was
apparently satisfied with the progress
made toward operating the plant.
The presence of Mr.. Prick caused q
sensation in Homestead, because of
the rumor that Superintendent Dillon
at the Thirty-third street mill had
been ordered to send for the old men,
and Mr.. Frick came up here to have
the mill here shut down. This was
of course denied at the company's
office. Members of the advisory COM
mittee do not believe the charge Of
conspiracy against them will be taken
into the courts. They think it will
be dismissed at the hearing. Hugh
Ross left here to surrender himself
and give bail. He said he had seven
teen additional indictments against
the Carnegie officials, several being in
the United States courts, which he in
tends pushing.

called in the whole history of Paris
when there have been so many duels
as have been fought there recently.
A perfect epidemic of dueling seems
to have broken out, four or five en-
counters being often noted in the
same day. Not a few of these meet
ings have been caused by insulting
attacks upon the Jews, which have
been resented by Jewish officers of
the French army. The apparent mo-
tive of these attacks is the desire on
the part Of the French people to pro-
pitiate the Russians by siding with
the latter in their attacks upon the
Muscovite Jews-a fact which can
hardly be said to show the French in
an amiable light. The significant
point, however, is the method of re-.
dress taken by the Jews. The whole
condition of things has strong sa-
vor of medi9valism which would
have seemed impossible at this age of
the world.

ST. LOUIS enjoys the distinction of
being the first city in the world to
put in operation special electric cars
devoted to postal and express sub
urban service. These cars are used
on the st. Louis & Suburban Road.
and do both a city and country
business in handling mail matter.
The route extends from Sixth and
Locust streets, st. Louis, to Flori-
SAINT, st. Louis County, distance of
10 miles from the city, and the mail
car supplies the above places as well
as the intermediate postof1ices, as on
our steam railroads The car is 81
feet long, feet inches wide, and
ii feet inches high, and has two
four-wheeled bogie trucks, mounted
with two standard railway motors.
The total weight of the car is 16, 900
pounds. 1t not only carries the
mails but baggage, express packages,
and dairy products; it makes two
trips per day per car Besides the
above the Southern Railway Com
pany runs an express car between
Sixth and Market, and the southern
end OF Carondelet. This car is at
tached to an ordinary train and

The definite retirement of a great
man like Prince Bismarck from pub
lie affairs is always a subject of deep
popular interest. So long as it was
merely by act of the boy-Kaiser that
bismarck was retired, no one was
willing to believe that it was forever.
But now that he has said so, on his
way to his sons wedding in Vienna,
there is no reason to doubt that the
Iron Chancellor believes his political
usefulness at an end. All the heroes
OF his great epoch, save himself, are
gone, and he feels like huge and
ancient oak, spared by accident,
when all the trees around him are
felled. The world of action will not
say good-by to Bismarck without a
sigh.

COURTESY is due to others. Tt is
helpful. Treat even a base man with
respect, and he will make at least
one desperate effort to be respectable.
Courtesy is an appeal to the nebler
and better nature of others to which
that nature responds. 1t is due to
ourselves. 1t is the browning grace
OF culture, the stamp Of perfection

IT is earnestly to be hoped that the
charges against an American military
attache in the legation at Paris will
be completely dispelled by investiga-
ton. Lieut. Borup stoutly main
tains his innocence of completely in
the. treachery of the Frenchman who
has been selling the secrets Of his
country's defense to her possible enc
mics. The American Minister at
Paris does exactly right in standing
by his accused fellow countryman
until the charges are proved Lieut..
Borup acts like a man conscious Of
no crime. He has been performing
difficult duties for his own country,
and In their performance it was I'M
avoidable that he should incur some
risk In accidental connection with
the French self-confessed criminal.
Borup must not be condemned except
after due trial.

AN English general has invented a
bullet which is highly spoken of as a
humane device. The modern mis-
siles OF small diameter, it is found,
pass through living animals without
producing much pain. This is due to
their high velocity. The English
mans invention consists of a small
bullet having cap or cloak SO ar
ranged that it will spread open on
striking an obstacle. The high
velocity Of small diameter is thus
obtained, combined with the wound
ing qualities of larger projectile.
Soldiers will hereafter have the adj
vantage OF being wounded by large
bullets that pass through them at
lightning speed. The invention bids
fair to prove almost as great a for
ward step in the direction Of humane
ity as the adoption of electricity in
capital punishment.

HENRY M. STANLEY's debut as an
English politician is made doubly
interesting by the enthusiasm with
which his wife enters into the can
vass. Mrs. Stanley proposes now to
carry his election by storm of her
own feminine enthusiasm. She prac-
tlcally wrote his address of accept
ance, and it is said that she will take
the stump in his behalf. No one who
has heard the explorer speak will
wonder if his wife proves the better
orator Of the two. Mrs. Stanley has
all along been opposed to her hus-
bands returning to Africa, and prob
ably her disgust Of the Dark CONT
nent has something to do with her
enthusiasm over his campaign. Thus
will a great explorer be transformed
into dull and commonplace poll
tician.

MEN have been known who want
ed to marry certain women Just be-
cause the women were rich. A man
whose case is exactly the converse
OF this has written to an Eastern
editor asking if "a man without
money can ask a girl who has money
to marry him and at the same time
retain his self-respect. He asks:
do you think such marriage would
turn out a happy one? l know So
clety has ordained that man should
be able to support wife before he
takes one, but when a man reaches
the age OF 35 and has been unfortun-
ate in money matters, should he al
low himself to drift into old age
alone?" 1t would depend little, of
course, upon whether he could help
hlmself-upOn whether the woman
was willing. Supposing, however,
that her affection for him is as
great as his for her, and that it is
very considerable, there should be no
worthy objection which either might
weigh, so far as they themselves are
concerned. The only trouble will
come in when their kind friends and
neighbors find it out and begin to
philosopher. But, as the marriage
really concerns the contracting par
ties first, the question Of the outer
society ought to be of relatively
small Importance. The fact that the
girl is rich should not keep her from
happiness if she is certain that the
marriage will mean happiness. If
she is certain, she ought, logically, to
be willing to burn up her bonds and
throw away her greenbacks before
giving up the man. All these cues
tions, like half hundred Others
which confront people who are CON
templating matrimony, are to be de-
cided only by those Immediately con-
cerned. Any man or any woman who
seriously doubts the advisability Of
taking such step ought to reflect
that the doubt itself is strong ar
gument against it

If the gallery in the wigwam had
given way, or if the building had col
lapsed, somebody would have been di-
rectly responsible for the appalling
fatality that must have resulted,
says Chicago newspaper. Re-
cent developments as to the alleged
unsafeness of the structure are SEN
satfonal in the extreme. Compe-
tent architects examined it before it
was used and pronounced it unsafe.
Abraham Gottlieb and Samuel G. Ar
tingstall, both well-known authorities
on such matters, wrote out an opin-
ion to that effect, and they also rec
commended that not more than half
of the seats in the gallery should be
occupied. Mr.. Gottlieb says that on
the night of the storm he lay in bed
restless and almost in agony, as he
contemplated the appalling accident
that might occur at any moment.
Mr.. Gottlieb is confident that the
architects report was delivered to
members OF the building committee
before the occupation of the building,
and Mr. Donnersberger, one of the
committee, admits having received it.
The committee can congratulate
themselves that the wigwam did not
collapse. If an accident had hap
pened they would have found them
selves in an exceedingly ugly position.
The architects who made out the re-
port should have given it to the pub
lie. To have done SO would have
been but an act of ordinary courage
and honesty.
