TIRE proposition to nominate Senator
German Of Maryland for the Presidency
does not excite enthusiasm anywhere. not
even in Maryland. Senator German is
not a man to excite enthusl asm. He
does not represent anything, his capdi .
dacy does not mean anything. There is no
reason why he should be nominated
and nobody is demanding his nomination.
He would come, like Harrison came to
the Republicans, as a makeshift. The
Democratic party has not been sue

misfortune, to return to makeshifts aftei

IT is q pleasure to know that the entire
fund intended by Mr.. Tilden to found
the great library In New York has not
been diverted By the fortunate increase
in the value Of the property and by the
discretion and loyalty of Mrs. Hazard.
one Of the.helrs, there are about 81. 600, 900
to be used for the Tilden library While
II is no sacrifice on the part Of Mrs.
Hazard, who is rich already, and while
It would have been profound shame
II she should have united with the other
heirs who gathered about the estate Of a
man who acquired his money for another
purpose than to crafty Their greed, IL Is
thing 80 common that we are inclined
to regard that simple exhibition
Of virtue and honesty which
refuses to fight over fortune
as phenomenal. It is phenomenal In the
sense that II ocsurs infrequently. But
the fact that man or woman is too
honest, too loyal TO a relatives memory %

those he intended IL ior is not phenoms-
nal IL is merely plain honesty a. d
loyalty exhibited In an unusual manner.

Last night vemet, where others meet.
To part a. others part,
And greeted but as Others greet.
Who greet not heart TO heart.
We talked Of other things, and then
To other folk passed by;
You turned and sat with other men,
With other women /.
And yet a world Of things unsaid
Meanwhile between us passed;
Your cheek my phantom kiss flushed red .
And you looked up at last;
nd then your glance met mine midway
Across the chattering crowd.
And all thst heart TO heart can say
Was In that glance avowed.
