rha Enzlish Elections.

It seems to be generally admitted in
England that the liberals will have major
ity when the elections are over, and that
Lord Salisbury will resign as soon as parlia-
ment meets, and that he will then be
succeeded by Mr.. Gladstone. 1t is not
probable that the majority will be large.
1t may not even be large enough to enable
Mr.. Gladstone to carry into effect all the
reform measures he has in view.
The liberal majority will be made up OF
several different factions, and it is by no
means certain that they can be held
together even by 30 influential a statesman
as DIR. Gladstone. The Irish factions. for
instance, are very far from being reconciled
TO each other, and it will take a great deal
Of diplomacy on Mr.. Gladstone's part to get
them 10 unite in supporting home rule
measure. However, Mr. Gladstone has over
came great many apparently insurmount-
able obstacles during his career. and there is a
feeling Of strong confidence in bis ability to
unite all the factions that will constitute
the majority 1t may be that home rule
for Ireland is much nearer az hand than 1t
is generally supposed to be. II the fighting
factions Of the Irish party can be induced
to join hands for their country's good it is
probable that Mr.. Gladstone will DO able to
get the home rule bill passed without IN
necessary delay.
Mr.. Gladstone has made very vigorous
campaign for SO old man. Since the cam
paign began he has been making speeches
in the leading cites, and they have
been excellent ones. The cordiality
with which be has been greeted everywhere

She Took Care of Herself.

The bystanders held their breaths, says the
Detroit Tribune, when the girl in the loose
waist and straw hat, entirely alone, boldly ad-
vsuced into the street whsre was perfect tur-
MOL Of traffic and wheel grazed against wheel
in the press Of commerce.
Excuse me, madam-"
The young man with pink necktie and high
collar looked a bit frightened as he rushed
with the loose waist She turned as he spoke.

With a reassnrlng smile the girl seized the
young man by the hand and pulled him toward
the center Of the street.
The young man faltered.

just as soon see you safe across as not"
The young man looked sghast.

With deKterous movement she yanked one

with ner umbrella. By aquick jerk she stopped

Almost too short Of breath to speak the young
man leaned against water plug:

The youth famed himself helplessly with his
hat.

The Great Fire at St. Johns.

So many other events of stirring char
aeter have occupied the attention Of the
people Of this country during the last day
or two that the magnitude OF the disaster
from which the people of st. Johns, N. F.,
are suffering is not fully realized. Two
thirds Of the city has been burned and Is 900
people rendered homeless. Various esti-
macs OF the value Of the property destroyed
have been made, the largest being about
$25, 900, o0O No doubt this estimate is an
exaggerated one. Many Of the buildings
destroyed were comparatively cheap wooden
ones. The destruction of property. however,
was immense. The fact that the insurance
companies will be called upon to pay be-
tween IS, 900 and sc, 900 900. shows that
the fire must be placed among the greatest
OF recent years.
1t is understood that the loss falls largely
upon those who are IN a position to bear it.
However, there are thousands of poor
people who are now without shelter and
without even the means to purchase food.
The appeal that has been made in their be-
half ought to be responded to promptly
and literally
One Of the deplorable features of the fire
is the destruction of nearly all the churches.
Some of these buildings we're very hand
some, one of them costing as much as $780,
900. No doubt the work of rebuilding the
city will be begun at once, but as st. Johns
is not particularly prosperous city, this
work will necessarily progress slowly. 1t
will be years before the marks Of the great
fire will be obliterated.

world men OF wealth have wed for the glances

1t is very queer how important papers
sometimes mysteriously disappear. There is
nobody but has noticed it. Aud frequently
the disappearance is merely the result of
the thing lost getting into the wrong place,
whence, after time, 1t turns up safe aud
sound. That is the way it was with Secre~
tary Elkins' package OF bank bills the other
day, when a servant mistook them for a
bundle of waste paper and tossed them on
top of an old book case. And that Is the
way it was with Mr.. Cleveland's letter of
congratulation to Mr.. Stevenson. By some
mischance the letter got among a lot of
newspaper mail, which had been ordered
left at MIR. Stevenson's Office, instead Of
among the letter mail which Mr.. Steven
son opened at his residence. In hauling
over lot of this old newspaper mail few
days ago an unopened envelope, post
marked Buzzard's Bay, Mass, was discov-
cred, and, upon opening it, it was found to
contain the note OF congratulation from
Mr.. Cleveland, which the republicans had
been claiming, with Rlee, had never been

sounding some of the local newsboys as to their
views on the origin and significance of the
Fourth of July. Here are some of their
answers:
tits because George Washington beat in
some war" The information OF this boy
stopped at this point, and he was unable to say
what war it was or who George was.
Washington discovered America about 100
years ago on the Fourth Of July, aud that's the
reason why we shoot frecrackers"
THE Fourth Of July is to have fireworks and
have a good time"
There was a war once. and the Americans
beat They have frocrackers because they sound
like war"
The Fourth Of July is the day that the Amer
leans moved into the United States "
They have a good time on the Fourth of
July because the shops all shut up and nobody

When at first he graduated
He imagined he was slated
For a great and high position
Thought, in fact, he had a mission,
Though that he was somehow fated
To improve the world condition
By the force of intellect.
He had told his friends about It;
From a platform did he shout It,
All about the toiling millions.
Soldiers women and civilians
Some there were inclined to doubt it,
Whom from plutoerats with billions
He intended to protect.
Some there were who smiled and doubted,
Cynics who his raptures secuted;
Thought his head more needed soaking
Than his mustache needed stroking;
Who his mighty projects flouted
But he needed not their croRkinR.
Thought they were not thinking straight
Out he went into life's battle,
'Mong the crowded human cattle;
Caught the spirit that had ruled EN-,
And his understanding cooled em,
Neither rush, nor crush. nor rattle
All the doubling ones-he fooled EN-,
Now he is q statesman great.

In New York. Boston, Philadelphia,
Brooklyn and elsewhere in the north on
Sunday a number OF preachers took the

sermons All of the sensationalist preach
ers talked about the strike, and among all
them the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., formerly
Of North Carolina, was the most sensa-
tional. de preached at Newark, n. J.. and
declared that if the Pinkertons were hanged
it would be the spelling Of good rope. One
Boston preacher took as his subject: The
Labor War in Pennsylvania; Does Andrew
Carnegie Mean Triumphant Democracy
or Triumphant PlutocrscyYn A Brooklyn
minister preached on Ring Rule and the
Homestead Carnage" The mixing of poll
tics and religion in a pulpit under any cir
cumstanoes is hardly desirable, but If these
preachers told their congregations that the
iniquitous tariff was the true cause OF the
trouble they did their hearers good service.
