HOPE AND PRAY.

In considering the probable appoint
ment Of Judge Gresham to be Secretary
Of State, it must not be forgotten that
Mr.. Cleveland is an eminently sensible
and practical patriot; that he is
Democrat; that he has made certain per.
sonal pledges to the people, which he
feels a sacred trust in fulfilling. He is
conscientious and sincere in all that he
does. He will not do anything that his
calm, cool, judgment, and his thoroughly
courageous mind does not approve.
In selecting his advisers, he has
right, he is compelled, indeed, to be
guided chiefly. by his own Judgment.
That is Cleveland's case, his situation,
his justification.
Judge Gresham is a man Of supreme
courage aud lofty patriotism He would
not do anything to compromise either.
He has the courage to decline he
certainly would decline to go into
Cabinet, If he had the least doubt Of his
ability to act in harmony with the Dem
ocratic members of that Cabinet. Such
a predicament would be preposterous.
Judge Gresham would not get into It
blindly and foolishly; Mr. Cleveland
would not ask him into IL, If they both
were not satisfied that Judge Gresham's
views on the great questions Of the day
were in harmony with those Of John G..
Carlisle; If he were not as instinct
with enlightened and disinterested
patriotism--free from any faint Of the
robber protection fallacy-as the best
Democrat.
That is Judge Gresham's case, his posi-.
tion his justification.
The objections, however to Judge
Gresham are still worthy of considera-
tion. His patriotism, his ability, his iit-
ness, his eminently high courage and
lofty principles, all being granted, there
Is some doubt whether he should be
placed in the line of succession by law,
in the line of succession by election, over
many able and devoted Democrats, who
have never been led away after false
gods into a robbery and deception of the
people, and an attempt to centralize the
government for the use and benefit Of
lot Of industrial monarchs.
While all of this is true there is moth
ing for those Democrats, who do not ap-
prove of Judge Gresham as Secretary Of
State, to do but remember that both
Cleveland and Gresham are distinguished
for good sense and calm judgment
which amounts to almost prescence We
must trust that they have exercised
those qualities in this case.

1t was the unexpected that happened

Frank Blair. the Republican warrior

President in 1868. deliberately chosen by
the Democratic Convention because It
was deemed good politics to nominate
him. Aside from Judge Gresham's pre-.

Of good politics in calling him to il.

cepted his Judgment in the late contest,
as is shown by the large Democratic ma

exhibited the good taste to avoid partisan

but because he is entirely sound
on every vital feature Of present
Democratic faith, and his appointment
should not be regarded as intended to

trstion IL is an open secret that Whitney,
Bayard, Phelps or Dickinson might have
have had the Premiership had either
desired It, and 10 is known that Gresham
gave a positive refusal when Cabinet
honors were FIRST suggested to him. The
selection of Gresham is, therefore. no
intended departure from a positive
Democratic policy; and If he shall enter
the new administration, it will be none
the less Democratic than IL Bayard, a

CAPE CHARLES, Feb 13.-The Cape
Charles light, which sheds its

It's True Derivation.

1t is truly surprising what erroneous
ideas are entertained b. the general pub
lie concerning the true meaning of many
terms in general use. A striking exam
pie of this is the word ''terne" as applied
to tin plate. Usually it is understood
that this word is derived from the French
one, meaning "dull." This is totally in
correct. Terne plate is a sheet Or plate
of iron and steel covered with an alloy
of tin and lead in the proportion of two
thirds lead and one-third tin. 1t is this
union of the three metals-iron, lead and
tin-that gave rise to the word terne
plate, terne being an equivalent to the
English tern, meaning "threefold." The
origin Of the erroneous definition of this
term was the fact that because of the
large percentage of lead used in coating
terne plates it is duller in hue than the
ordinary tin plate, which is frequently
designated ''bright plate" in contradis-
tinction to the former.-House Furnish
ing Review.

Last of the DruidS.

We regret to announce the death of
the high priest of the sun at the ripe age
of 90. To the eye Of faith he was tie
last of the Druids. The profane knew
him only Us DR.. William Price of Liam
trissant, in Glamorganshire, and charac-
teriZed him as 'a most eccentric man"
It must be admitted that they were not
altogether without excuse for this opin-
ion. He attempted to initiate the pontif-
ical raiment of his predecessors in the
priesthood, wearing a whole foxskin on
his head, a light green coat with trousers
to match and a scarlet w~aistcoat.
AS a reproduction of Druidic costume
the profane may perhaps be again ex-
cusedfor thinking this a little uncon-
vincing. Even high priests of the sun
are not without human weaknesses, and
DR.. Price s~ignalized this truth at the age
Of 81 by marrying his housekeeper, a
girl of19. One must allow that this step
is a touch of prose in such a character,
but he redeemed it shortly afterward by
attempting to burn the body Of his dead
child on a funeral pyre which he erected
in a neighboring field. The Druid could
hardly take account of the constable
