The generous snubbing given by the
republican press to Gen. James 5.
Clarkson seems to have acted as q
%quietus on that gentleman's etfervescent
nature. In other words, a valuable ser
vice to a tired public was performed
when he was put to sleep. 1t is singu-
lar hat a man possessed Of the least
degree of political tact should have
made an attack without excuse upon a
retiring president. 1t may have given
sonal satisfaction, but it relegated him
to the echoeless halls of the back num-
bers, as is evidenced by the manner in
which Frank I4eslie's Illustrated Week
ly again reaches for him. 1t says:
1.-THE truth is that Mr.. C!arkson. in his
vituperation. represented nothing but his
own personal vindictiyeness. He failed
entirely to realize that even if tho p:esi-
dent had made q mistake in his nomination
on political grounds. it did not lie in the
mouth of persons like himself. who owe
whatever consideration they enjoy to the
complaisance of the party, to indulge in
criticisms of that action. Mr.. Clarkson's
influence is exactly measured by the fact
that not q single republican senator re-
sponded to his frantic appeals for adverse
action upon the nomination. And the
amazing fact is that the republican party
still lives"
Self strangulation is q common fate tc
politicians. Mr.. Clarkson has made &
very clean job of 1T.

Ten Tons of Diamonds

An astounding statement was made on
Wednesday evening at the society OF arts
in the course OF a paper by Bennett n.
Brough on "The Mining Industries OF
South Africa" He said that since 1867.
when the diamond folds were frat d'scov-
cred, there nave been imported from Caps
Colony more than So oO. 900 carats Of dia,
monds, the value of which approached
SIC, 600. 600. Their weight would exceed ten
tons; a heap Of them might form a pyramid
with a base nine feet square and six fec!
high. Putting it another way they wonId
fill a couple of Pickford's vans. Inc ng-
ures are large. and are. l should fancy. open
to o erection; but L. Reuuart. who is re-
sponsible for the statement. is a man. | be-
lieye, who knows what he is talking about

Tho Poor In England,

The poverty OF the lower orders of the
English clergy is rrove'bial. but several
recent illustrations OF their dcstitution
have Mt last aroused an increased interest In
their behalf. and tie bishop OF Worcester
has issued an appeal to the religious public
in his diocese to be liberal in their Easter
offerings. Travellers in England have often
compared the lean. hungry-looking and
lank. iawed curates with the rosy. double
chinned and robust types OF the higher
dignitnries. But many are objects of char
ity-many even have sought refuge from
hunger in eleemosynary institutions. Thore
are many, too. who will accept "a tip"
with as many obsequious bows and thanks
as an English waiter New York World.

Mr.. Jefferson and his cabinet were cronies
but Madison and Gallatin we're almost his
bed!ellows. The president got his wine
regularly from France. and the three being
all fine takers they fingered long after the
dishes had been removed from the dinner
table. Jefferson was brilliant and even
eloquent in conversation, Madison had a
quiet and delicious humor behind his con-
st,tutional Law and logic. and Gallatin was
an accurate and methodical man, full Of
facts and figures. Many federals would

ALL African explorers agree that in
the march of development the dark
continent" is tho land Of tho future.
Capt. Cameron, one Of the wealthiest OF
African merchants, has lately been dis
GUESSING the conditions OF life in central
Africa for the purpose of organizing a
great company for African trade. The
principal difficulty is found in the lack
of transportation facilities and the slow
ness Of the several European govern
ments in granting concessions. But the
native resources are found unsurpassed
and it is only a question OF getting pro-
ducts to market. In the Congo state
there are tibers, gums, india rubber,
ivory, and all tropical and sub-tropical
fruits. The climate is we'll suited to the
cultivation of coffee and tea, and it is
only a matter of time when these plants
will be grown in profusion, as we'll as
all other products Of other countries in
that latitude. The native tribes are
now subduea so all that is needed to
make Africa the coming home for the
o%utgrowth Of population is energetic
work, together with encouragement
from home governments, and sufficient
money to start the various enterprises

The following interesting prophecy is
submitted by our ~disgruntled contcm-

Before another twenty years Missouri will

session of tho humility that is the first
requisite for success in Office seeking.
Now we are anxious to know whether

Will They Wed Again.

Tie Rev. DR.. James ROdman Of this
city, while filing by invitation the pulpit
OF the Rev. Samnel Friedman, in An lover,
near Roxborough, Penn, on Easter sun.
day, was reunited with his wife. They
had been parted by the Chicago fire and
each believed the other dead.
DR.. Rodman had progressed alb nut half
vay through his sermon in the Andoyer
Congregational Church when a middle
aged woman in the congregation suddenly
tainted. He paid little attention to the
incident and members Of the church
carried the woman into the vss;ry.
When the service was concluded one Of
the ladies in the congregation approached
DR. Rodman and asked him to step into
Mrs. Friedman's private study. There,
from surprise and Joy, tue minister nearly
followed the example of bis new fOnnd
wife in fainting.
The woman had married since their
separation by the great Gre. Her second
husband, Robert Cas-, had died and the
widow lived in Boston. She was visiting
friends IN Andoyer. Or. ROdmau had
never remarked.
At the time of the fire he was injured
md lay long time IN the house OF
tIend with brain fever. When he re-
os cred all trace of bis wife was gone.
The husband gave up commercial life
ftsrwards and entered the ministry.
