The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Globe announces that Secretary
Gresham is about to embark on vigor-
GUS foreign policy, in the course of which
the Monroe doctrine is to be upheld with
much fireworks. Rio Janeiro is to be
the theatre of operations, and the fear
that some European power may be about
to reimpose monarchy on Brazil is under
stood to be the pretext This must
mean that Mr.. Gresham intends it to be
known that he and Mr.. Cleveland have
the monopoly in the throne building
business.

In the tonnage lists, at least, New Bed
ford retains it's supremacy as a whaling
port. The hauling ports of the feet
are: New Bedford for forty two, San
Franciscosfor thirty-four, Provincetown
for nine, Edgartown for three, Boston
for two and New London for one. Thir-
teen steamers are now in the feet, and
the past season have met with such sue
cess as to augur a substitution of steam
for sails. The North Pacific, with the
waters of Behring Sea and the Arctic
Ocean north of Alaska. are now the
most productive whaling grounds; but
only fourteen of New Bedford's forty
two whalers are in those waters. The
North Atlantic is still productive field,

In the cablegrams of yesterday morn
ing's PRESS the announcement was
made that the government of Russia had
come to an understanding with the
Pope whereby certain privileges were to
be allowed Catholic ecclesiastics in
Poland. No statement was made OF the
advantages which the Car hopes to gain
on his side; but it is safe to say that he
did not make the concessions without
something in view. The European situa-
! ton is growing daily more interesting;
and the overshadowing might of Russia
La an increasing factor in this situation.

The Boston Post gloats over the in
dustries that it believes would be built
up in New England by free iron and
coal. 1t really would be nice thing for
New England to have free all the matials

ducts. But how long would the rest of
the country submit to that arrangement?

A selection of George William Curtis's
chief orations and other discourses,
from 1856, when he was thirty-two years
old, to 1892, the year of his death, has
been made by Mr.. Charles Eliot Norton,
and it's publication assumed by the Har-
per's. Of the competency of the editor
there can bo no question; and that the

were passed in their service the solid and
substantial volume just fromstheir press,
stands as evidence. There are. it is I'M
