Change in the Sentiment of France
Toward the Dead President.
From the Pall Mall Budget.

From the Pail Mall Budget.
The praises of President Carnot are be-
ing pitched in Paris Just now little high.
To tell the plain truth, Paris had begun
to be little weary of the president
while he lived. She had speculated on
his retirement. She limited TO him that
his chief merit was perhaps his figure
he was we'll set up, and made creditab BILE
figurehead for the state.
But now that he is dead, there is moth
ing good and great that he was not. Be-
tween the estimate then and the estimate
to-day is a discrepancy, natural enough
under all the circumst stances, but a little
pathetic. The church as well as the
world has fallen easily into the new at
titude. Cornot alive did not find time to
attend services; Carnot dead is the oc-
oasion of services. not only in every
church in France, but in every capital Of
Europe. What really passed between
the dying president and the arch bishop of
Lyons has been made a matter of some
mystery and some dispute.
II was really simple enough Directly
the death blow was struck a bystander
ran TO the arch bishop, who hurried to the
bedside Of the president. "honseiRneur
give me your blesSing,'' was AL the dying
man was able TO say. IL may have been
the always polite man of the world who
spoke, or it may have been the confessing
Catholic. The archbishop was bound to
suppose it was the latter and 10 proceed
at once TO administer such rites of the
church as he could. For so doing he has
received letter from Rome, written by
Cardinal Rampola, specially acknowi-
edging his tact and readiness, and thank
ing him for them In the name Of the pope.
What we're your motives in voting for that
ordinanee:" asked the indignant consti;sept
Of the alderman. -rs-

dignined air OF one repudlating an Insulting

From the New York Herald.
During the hottest hours of the hottest

street and Broadway were looking up.
ward far above. the high bank building
there, as though seeking TO see where
the mercury had gone. IL was not the
mercury, unless the observers mistook
the man who was at the top Of the lofty

the ancient Mercury, who had ialighted TO
rest his diminutive wings.

apparent unconcern, painting the frail sup

He rather chung than was supported,
for he did not use the ordinary chair
suspended from the top of the stat, but
stood with his feet resting in two short
rope swings that encircled the pole with
nooses at their upper ends. AS the
painter desired TO descend, he simply re-
iieved these nooses OF his weight, one at
time, and slipped them TO lower posi-
ton.
1t makes me dizzy TO look at him, -
said one OF the spectators, who was wip-
ing away the sweat Of his brow, by which
he had been earning his bread in the

ment with respect to the Sandwich
Islands7"
A. Most unfortunate. We are wait
ing for change of administration at Wash
ington. Mr.. Cleveland has unwisely
handled our affairs. We want an admin
istration at Washington which will favor
an annexation and your next presidential
election may settle our island affairs and
settle them in the right way"
q. What is the present feeling be-
tween royalists and those in favor of the
provisional government"
A. VERY bitter and becoming more
and more dangerous and great prudence
and wisdom will have to be employed or
there win be bloodshed.'' -
Thus ended my conversation with the
anneXationist. sas ..
AS l said in previous letter without
taking the side either of royalist or an
nexationist, the Hawaiian Islands will
yet be republic in itself What an amaz-
ing thing that after all the trouble the
United States government has had with
the Chinese population now within our
borders, trying this and that legislation
TO suit their case, any American states
man should propose by the annexation of
the Sandwich Islands to add to our popu-
lation the $4,000 Chinese and the 1900
japanese now living in those Islands If
VIC "duG GnIS duulLiOu OF o4.UUU OnlneS6
and Japanese had we not better import
them fresh from China and Japan
From whatI have seen and heard in
this, my Journey, have come TO the con-
clusion that it will be dire day when
the American government hopelessly
mixes itself up with Hawaiian affairs. It
would be disaster to them and perplex-
ity and useless expense to ourselv YES.
Hands off, - and mind your own bust
ness" are in this case Sentiments that
had better be observed by English, Ger
man and American governments.

CHARLES Town Nor "IN IT."-For
u game of batting and hard hitting,
the game played last Friday between
Martinsburg and Charles-Town has
never been equalled on the home
grounds. The Charles Town boys
came to fhis city with blood in their
eyes and determined to win the
game, but after several home runs
had been knocked and our boys slug
ging the ball at any rate, the starch
was soon taken out of them. The
game was called at the end of the
fifth inning on account ofthe Charles
Town pitcher being i'll and being
compelled to retire from the gsmq.
Zimmerman was behind the bat and
put up a good game, not having a
pass ball. Pitzer in the box was in
fine form striking out eight men, but
two hits being made off him. Lemon
at short stop put up q good game,
but was little off in throwing.
Horner was in his usual trim at first,
accepting all chances. Young at
second played his usual game. Stink
man played third in fine shape but
threw wild. Creque played a good
game in left field. Wisner and Noll
in right and centre respectively, did
not have chance but batted well.
AT the bat all our boys were in good
trim. Horner knocked home run
in the second inning, Pitzer followed
with another homer in the same in
ming and one in the third. Young
followed with one in the fourth in
ming and Zimmerman with one in
the fifth, making five home runs al
together. In the third inning Pitzer
made the finest catch that was ever
made On the grounds, a hot line fly
being knocked to him which he
caught with his left hand and made
a double play to Horner at first.
Charles Town played fair game but
was not in it with our boys. Sitter,
their pitcher, became so i'll that he
was compelled to remain in the city
over night. The score was "a to O.

SENATOR CAMDEN.

We congratulate the Statesman as
to its advice to Senator Camden to
retreat at once from what must be
disastrous defeat" We put from
a Republican standpoint; but We
are aslonishcd to see it coming from
a Democrat, editor and postmaster.
We knew Mr.. Camden when the
Democratic party in this State was
in swaddling clothes, and the only
godfather it had was j n. Camden.
We regretted bis spending his tale t
and the earnings Of his life in behali
Of Democracy, and if he is to be
stabbed by the Statesman and others
of bis own party that he warmed into
life and nursed into maturity, the
bitterness Of the ingratitude must
make him regret, that he ever held
soothing syrup to their lips. One
thing to Mr.. Camden's political and
personal credit, we have never yet
heard it charged that he WAS untrue
to friend or unkind to an oppo-
nent. Politically, we have always
opposed him, and with a chance of
e,ecting a Republican to the U. S,
Senate, which we hope viii occur,we
would fill his place with a good Re-
publican; but we are mott dining with
lot of howlers even in de.
nourcing a political opponen'.
1t might be grateful refreshment
to have the Statesman explain what
is the difficulty as between their
party and Mr.. Camden. Do they
want 10 unload him If they do,
who viii carry the load? They say
he is a monopolist of wealth, but as
writer has tersely expressed it,
The felIotos an his olon party rant 10
be moaopolisis Of uoters, and Of that
number tie republicans want to be
the more successful and relieve them
from unloading Mr.. Camden.
