COLONEL HENRY WATTERs0N.
A New England View of That Learned,
Yet Erratic, Southron.

A New England View of That Learned,
Yet Erratic, Southron.
Boston Herald.l
Colonel Henry Watterson is a character
who would be almost unique In the editorial
profession were it not that Murat Halstead
q long time fourished SO very near him. Mr..
Halstead seems to us to have become CON-
paratively chastened of late years, but
Colonel Watterson ia, If possible, more earn
est and more exuberant than ever. He
writes with fully the facility and the conse-
quent amount of production of the late
Horace Greeley. He els even more prolific
than Mr.. Greeley, we are sometimes ln-
clined TO think, and he has all the dispoSi-
tion of Mr. Greeley to offer advice. 1t is,
doubtless, well intended, and Colonel Wat
terson is SO very clever n writer that it is al
ways interesting. He impresses his own in
dividuality upon it in a marked degree And
yet, purely as matter of advice, 1t strikes
us that it might be improved upon. Colonel
Watterson's forte is not strictly speaking,
the guiding OF men, OF parties. or OF nations.
When it comes to this, men witt not II tithe
of his brilliancy, his fiuency or HIS selfcon-
1idcnce may be found more reliable. Cold
Judgment becomes appropriate and useful,
ut times, when warm-blooded impulse is not
reliable We would not say that Colonel
Watterson speaks without thinking, but he
is apt to think too quickly. His mind is 80
very alert that it is liable to form hasty con-
clusions, and they are reached before the
whole field is surveyed. His views about
Mr. Cleveland arc very earnest, and, we
doubt not, very sincere; but VIC fear they
are one-sided co the extent that the political
This is an unfortunate omission on the
COlOnel'S mart.

THE SITUATION In VENEZUELA.
Trade Is Practically Dead and the Outlook
Is Very Gloomy.

Is Very Gloomy.
In private correspondence from Car acas,
Venezuela, a deplorable picture of the situa-
tfon in that country is presented. "Both the
hot weather." says the writer, "and the
revolution are here in earnest. and It Is hard
to tell which is flercer War in every dfrec-
tion, and 1 cannot even guess when it will
end, or who will come out on top. Business
is deader than when last wrote, and then
it was as quiet as q country churohyard.
It Is probable that readers of Venezuelan
news know that the Revolutionary party,
headed by Crespo, is marching to Caracas,
and by this time is likely within gunshot Of
its envfrons. This news is the verifcation
of prediction rather curiously made some
weeks ago by one of the most learned doctors
that Venezuela possesses He was tai king

Thought then the capital might be
marched on at any moment. The
doctor expressed disbelief in the theory
of immediate danger from the insurgents
and gave an exceedingly odd explanation.
He said the army could not march until the
rainy season had set in, q period variously
announced to begin anywhere from late
April to the middle of May. This was owing to
the long continued drought. There was no
forage for the cattle and therefore the troops
could not move across the plains. As ne

MACcABEEs REFUSE TO sEcEDE.
They Meet at Erie and Decide Not to Form
an Independent state Camp.

ERIE, June 2o.-[SpeciaLl-A the special
convention of the Knights of Maccabees
held to-day at Erie there was u large attend
ance of representatives of t.Ie western part
of Pennsylvania. The meeting was presided
over by Markey Linton, Supreme Sir Knight
Commander. with n. S. Boynton, Su-
preme Record Keeper, both of Port Huron,
Mich,
The object of the gathering was TO decide
whether Pennsylvania would follow the
ample OF New York State and cut away from
the supreme orga nization by establiShln,
an independent State Great Camp for them
selves. The question was decided very
promptly on a test vote against the move
ment, and those interested in bringing the
delegates together feel very bitter over
their defeat.

FROGS FALL FROM THE CLOUDS.
Thousands of Them Pay Danbury a Visi
During a Thunder Storm

DANBURY, CONN.,, June 2o.-[Specidl]-A
huge storm cloud was seen lowering over
this city very early this morning. The light
ming was vivid and the flashes seemed
speckIed with myriads of small animate
objects which looked like big drops of black
rain.
The rain fell in torrents while the cloud
was passing over East Danbury and thous-
ands OF little frogs tumbled from the heav-
ems literally covering the earth. They were
no bigger than potato bug but they were
exceedingly lively and people who had left
the windows OF their sleeping rooms open
were awakened by frogs on their beds. The
sidewalks were slippery with dead frogs.
The little creatures seemed to expand and
burst after q few minutes.

THE SIGNS AT THE CONVENTION.

The Chicago situation continues to point
to the nomination of Cleveland Without
placing too much reliance on the state
ments of votes for him, the indications
are very strong that his heavy majority
will be demonstrated in time to swell to
two-thirdS vote by the end of tine first
ballot
One of the most unmistakable of these
indications is the effort of yesterday to
concentrate the opposition on Germans
nomination. The readiness to take any
candidate who can beat Cleveland is an
indication of losing battle, as clearly as
the throwing of the anti-Harrison vote to
Mckinley in-the Republican convention.
But the fact is that the proposed concen-
tration is bound to prove a failure in a
double aspect, and is most significant as
proving that the opposition are losing
their wits
In the first place the nature of the case
makes it less advantageous to the oppo-
nents of Cleveland to concentrate their
vote than to scatter it. A scattered vote
keeps the hopes of all the dark horses
alive, while a concentrated opposition
will send those supporters of compromise
candidates whose second choice is Cleve-
land to that candidate. Beyond that, the
weakness of German as a candidate is posi-
tive. He has all of Hills unscrupulous-
ness, rather more than his ability, but none
of his especial popularity in New York.
On the whole he is fully equal to Hill as a
candidate whose well-known character
would repel the independent vote without
which the Democracy can never win ma
tional victory.
The signs continue to presage the nomi-
nation of Cleveland and the renewal of
the fight Of 1888 under almost identical
conditions.

double entry. A man may be a great sue
cess in the task of rescuing the outcasts
and be a very poor accountant 1t might
be well, If the plan is to be expanded, to
secure accountants to record the expendi-
ture; but it is much more to the purpose
that people are taken from the slums of
London and placed on the road to self
support and independence.
1t is of importance to the whole world
that the plan of transplanting the surplus
population of the cities to farms where
they can be fitted to earn their own living,
is in successful operation. Our country,
if it has not already reached that stage, is
rapidly approaching the time when it will
be necessary to adopt similar means Of
rescuing the unemployed of the cities.

LOOK out for a solution of the solid New
York delegation to be followed by precipi-
tation around the Cleveland sentiment.

THERE is one thing about the Democratic
party that is as pitiable it is admirable.
The organization is possessed of an amount
of pluck which no defeat can .daunt. But it
lacks the sense which would enable it to
change its doctrines from those ruinous to
the country, so that its platform might be
commensurate with its courage, and success
might for once crown its efforts.
