FROM the always entertaining Avant-

ment to send Hon. Caldwell Edwards to
the United States senate. Whether Mr..
Edwards endorses the proposed candi-
dacy we do not know; we can only
gather q vague inference from the fol-
lowing interview:
'Is il true that you are a candidate, Mr..
Edwards?' asked Il reporter.

Charles E. Schillina's Ministries. who ap-
pear at the opera house next Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, are very highly
spoken of by the press of the country.
The following is from the Daily Journal,
Dayton, Ohio. The performance was by
far the best given by any minstel company
in this city for a long time. and the aud
fence was kept in roars of laughter by the
side-splittinQ jokes of the funny men.
The stage settings were elaborate. the cos

The conviction and sentence Of Fer
dinand de Lesseps were doubtless de-
handed by what appears to have been
a fair and searching investigation of a
~stupendous fraud. And yet it is hard
to reconcile the splendid history Of this
great engineer with the belief that he
defrauded others solely for personal
ends; from the evidence it is easier to
believe that in the weakness OF old age
his judgement and conscience were
warped by enthusiasm for the success of
a great enterprise started under legiti-
mate conditions. He seems to have been
used as a shield by others who proited
after the doom of the Panama scheme
was foreseen by all except the originator.
