cost $250,000, and was magnificent

sided in Santa Fe. The Capital build
ing then was q long, flat-roofed, one
story, adobe building, and was then at
least 300 years old. The edfice just
burned down was of modern architec
ture and cost $3.50, 900. There were, when
we were there, scattered throughout the
territory, dismantled churches, built by
the Jesuits, with relics of Castilian art

Death of a Prominent Minister.

Rev. w. L. speake, a prominent and
able minister in the Baltimore II. e.
Conference, South, died suddenly in
Washington on Sunday morning last, of
heart failure. He was addressing the
Sunday School when be was taken ill.,
and in Il few minutes he was dead. His
age was 81. He entered the ministry at
an early age, and in 1850 was the junior
preacher on the Augusta County, Va
Circuit, and very popular with the mem
bership of his church. He was assigned
by the Conference which met in HARRIS
burg last March, to the Fourth Street
Church, Washington, and had only fair
ly entered upon the duties of his charge.
Previous to the appointment he served
as Presiding Elder in the District in Bal
tlmole for several terms. He was a forci-
bic and eloquent speaker, and Il minister
of great influence and usefulness.

An American Navy.

London dispatch, dated the 18th,
has the following reference to the In
man steamers, recently admitted to reg
istry in this country, by act of Congress-
They are two OF the most complete and
formidable Of the ocean vessels, and
will make Il valuable addition to our
naval equipment. The Dispatch says:
mo other event in many months has
caused such great amazement and diS>
gust iii the B.itis!! mind as the transfer
OF the ocean races OF the Inman Line TO
the American flag. The average En-
giishman regards British supremacy on
the seas as so thoroughly established
that it is impossible for him to under
stand why any vessel could be willing
under any circumstances to transfer its
allegiance and accept the flag of another
power. This is the patriotic view. For
the business world i'll treat Britain the
Inman incident has an aspect even dark
err, as it is more practical. Merchants
and others see in this transfer the cloud
no bigger than q MANS hand that fore
shadows the loss of Engiand's cOmmer>
cial supremacy, and the building up of
American commerce at the expense of
the British The commercial and in>
| dustrial growth Of the limited States was
already regarded with deep jealousy,
even before this incident Now there is
almost a panic. The government will
have to take some step to discourage
other steamship lines from following the
example OF the lnman, but the govern
ment seems to be in confusion as to
what step to take.n
Senator Berry, of Arkansas, has only
one leg, but you wouldn't think it if you
saw him playing billiards and making
the best men in Washington wink at
the brilliancy Of some of his shots.

Harrison,s Nomination

We last week gave our reasons why we
thought that Mr. Cleveland should be
the nominee of the Democratic party for
President, Notwithstanding his opposi
tion in his party from prominent leaders,
who depend upon their control of the
machine to defeat him. A like conclusion
/; reached as it regards the nomination
of President Harrison by the Republi>
cans. He is their logical candidate. He
is opposed by few influential politi-
clans, but the rank and file of the party
are for him. His administration has been
able and clear and no good reason can
be adduced why it should not
be endorsed iii the renomition
of Mr.. Harrison. Indeed, we can
not see from a party standpoint why
the great masses of the people should
not demand it. This they are doing,
and we believe that he will be the noini-
nee on the first ballot, if not by acclamt
tiOn

Gen. w. H. Pavne.

The death of Hon. Jno. s. Barbour
will devolve upon Gov. Mckinney the
duty of appointing some one to fill the
vacancy thus occasioned in the U. S.
Senate. This appontee will serve until
the legislature meets, when a successor
will be elected to till the unexpired term
Who the Governor will appoint is, of
course, not known. But of all the prom
inent names that will be brought to his
attention, we can recall no one who
would more worthily ill the place, nor
one who would reflect more credit upon
the State, or whose designation would
give more general satisfaction, than that
of Gen. W. IL. Payne, of Fauquier. He
is one of the ablest and most .chivalorous
men in the State, and as unseifish and
modest as he is brave and generous. We
believe his appointment would more full
ly meet the requirements of the position
and the political situation, than any
other man that could be suggested He
has always declined high political hon
Ors. 1t was his refusal to allow his name
to be used, at the time, THAT went far to
result in the nomination OF Gov. McKin-
ney, and 1t would be a fitting recogni-
tion of his high character and recognized
ability, were the Governor to call him to
succeed Hon. Jno. S. Barbour.

The Republican National Convention,
to nominate candidates for President
and Vice-President. will meet in Mime.
apolis, June 18th. The Democratic Ma
tional Convention, for similar purpose,
will meet in Chicago, June 21st. The
Peoples Party will meet in Omaha, July
4th, after both of the other Conventions
have showed their hands and presented
their candidates and platforms. If the
work of neither of them is satisfactory to
the Peoples Party, then another ticket
will be nominated, and a platform form
ulated, favoring free coinage of silver,
and all the other extreme notions advo
Gated by that party. 1t is safe to say
that neither the Republican nor Demo
cratic party will crafty them and that
we will have three tickets in the field
certainly, and probably four, as the Pro
hibitionists will likely make nomina-
tiOns.

Harrisan,s Friends Confident.

Washington Post May 18th,
The efforts which are being made to
defeat the denomination of President
Harrison at Minneapolis have evidently
had no effect in shaking the confidence
of the Presidents friends in the belief
that he win be again chosen to lead the
Republican ticket. They have made Il
careful analysis of the the situation and
given thorough consideration to every
scheme which the opposition has put
forward. The result Of this investisa-
ton, they say, has not disturbed them.
On the contrary, with the convention
only three weeks distant, they have
reached the conclusion that the PRESS
dent will be nominated on the first bal
lot before two thirds Of the States have
been called. Some Of the more sanguine
are willing to assert that there will be
no ballot-tilat the nomination will be
by reclamation.
Some days ago TIE Post printed q
summary, prepared in circles friendly to
the administration, of the delegates who
would cast their votes for the President
Since that time the list has been revised,
and is now complete. 1t gives the Pref
dent AS votes on the first ballot from
delegates which they claim are abso-
lutely instructed for him. AS d matter
Of interest this revised list, in which
West Virginia is considered It's instruct
ed, is now printed for the first time, as
follows.

Phillips Brooks is to the effect that quite
recently, being engaged in work, he left
orders with the servants that on no &C
count was he to be interrupted. But
shortly after he had retired to his study
the door-bell rang and a friend from
New York sought admittance-Stock
Broker Nichols, who had been a class
mate of Bishop Brooks in college. This
early caller did not fancy the idea of
being turned away, and while was re-
monstrating with the servant, 10! and
behold Phillips Brooks emerged from
his study, welcomed the visitor with
open arms, babe him enter and talked
with him an hour or so. The servant
felt deeply mortified and made bitter
complaint to the Bishop after the caller
had departed.
81 remember distinctly" said the SER
want, ''that you told me that you would
be so busy that you wouldn't see the
Angel Gabriel if he called"
Yes" answered the Bishop, 81 did
say that, and meant it. But there's all
the difference in the world between
Gabriel and my friend Nichols. I'm
bound to see Gabriel anyway in the next
world, but as there is some doubt about
my seeing Nichols there, it was only
right that l should see him here when he
took the trouble to call upon me-"
