PEEL IN MS PRIME.
Pecuiiarities of the Greatest Par
liamentariau OF His Time.

PecuiiarIties of the Greatest Par.
Humanitarian OF His Time.
Nineteenth Century.
In order to appreciate the impression
made upon the queen by Peel. it is
necessary to picture him as he then was
in the prime of his life. man of great
vigor, tall aud manly, III his fiftieth year
only, but with almost thirty years Of
parliame ntary aud official life marked on
his face. His political career commenced
when he was lad of twenty-five.
Three years later he was chief secre.
tary TOT ireland, and he had been ever
since that time one Of the most con-
spicuous figures In the house Of COM
mons. Now he was fifty. and on the
eve Of becoming. with the exception, Of
the duke Ut Wellingtun. the most prom,,
inent Englishman of his day. :.
In some respects he was a new type,
and belonged to new order of states
men. Sprung from a mercantile stock,
which are inherent I'M the provincial
middle class. He was essentially as
has been we'll said of constitutional
statesmen. a man Of common opinions.
though Of uncommon abilities, and.
while in thoughts aud ideas other men
labored. he entered into their labors.
Ii he was devoid of all originality of
mind. he YVES was rich, decOrous. hard
working and devoted himself to the
task OF politics.
In appearance. when young, when his
hair was brown and curly. he struck
Mr.. Disraeli as the possess0r OF very
radiant expression OF countenance. he
struck Carlyle later in life as man
Finely made, of strong, not heavy,
rather Of elegant stature; stands
straight, head slightly thrown back.
and eyelids modestly dropping;
every way mild and gentle, yet with
less of that fixed smile than portraits
give him. Clear, strong, blue
eyes, which kindle Oh occasion. voice
extremely good, low-toned, something
of cooling in it. rustic. atfectionate,
honest, mildly persuasive; re-
served, seemingly, by nature; Obtrudes
nothing OF diplomatic reserve; on the
contrary. vein of mild fun in him;
real sensibility to the ludicrous."
Another physical attribute noticed by
the shrewd Old Scot is curious. On some
occasion, when Peel was showing off
his gallery of pictures at Bath house.
and in SO doing spread his hand over
that OF DR.. Johnson in Reynolds we'll
known portrait. to illustrate some anec-
dote, Carlyle observed that it was "as
fine mans hand as l remember to
have seen-strong, delicate and scrupu-
lousy clean"

a Laugh in Church.
Jefferson City (Mo.) Tribune.

Jefferson City (Mo.) Tribune.
Funny things happen in church some
times. The other evening Rev. Mr..
Maiden. who is conducting revival at
the Baptist church, was exhorting sinner
to come forward and be prayed for at the
close of the evening service. A pew
had been reserved for those so inclined
right in the front of the pulpit. The
exhortatiOn had continued for some few
minutes. and no one had responded.
when the doors softly opened and State
Treasurer Lon Y. Stephens entered.
He glanced around, and observing the
vacant bench, walked slowly down the
aisle and sat down. AS he did so the
voice OF the revivaiist rang out:
And even the rich man hardened I'M
to the voice of the Lord"

Stephens understood. Pastor johnson,

BRIGGS READY RELIEF,

Senator Brice again asserts that a
new tariff bill has been prepared and
will be passed by the senate before the
close of the present month. He refuses
to give any details, but is positive in his
assurance that the measure will receive
the approval of all the Democratic sena-
tors, with the possible exception of
Senator Hill.
There is good deal of unaccountable
and unwarranted mystery connected
with this new measure that is SO conf
IDENTIFY advertised as a panacea for all
our present ills. 1t seems to have origi-
mated in the fertile brain of the gentle
man from New York who represents
Ohio IN the senate. From what he gives
out it is to be Inferred that The bill is an
entirely new one. If this is the case, it
could not lawfully originate in the sen-
ate. for the constitution prescribes that
all bills for the raising Of revenue and
all appropriations shall originate in the
house. The Brice measure might be
passed by the senate as an amendment
to or substitute for the house bill, but
this would be an evasion of the consti-
tuition which would be of doubtful
legality.
But, laying these things aside. the
people will be willing to accept Senator
Brice's measure. provided it shall offer
solution of the present difficulties. and
some way may be devised to overcome
the technicalities that now seem to be
insuperable. What the people want,
and what they will have, is tariff re-
form, no matter by what means it is
brought about or from what source it
| may emanate. If they cannot get
Democratic measure with that end in
view, they will accept Republican, a
Populistic or a Prohibition bill. 1t is
results the people want, and they will
be attained through some channel.
The mysterious manner b. which
Senator Brice has accomplished so much
If, indeed, he has accomplished any,

Henry Fry, travelling man, at Will

African gold and diamond fields. He
said there were enough diamonds in
that country to stock four or five worlds

the mines are in control Of a
great syndicate, of which Sir Cecil
Rhodes is the head. Cameron said that
when he was shown through the COM
pany's establishment he saw thousands
of buckets filled with diamonds, but the
combination controlling them keeps
track of the market. and when prices
are good certain quantity of the gems
are taken to London, care being always
taken not to send enough TO glut the

smuggle diamond out of the country
is given seven years at hard labor, so it
is dangerous business"

AT THE THEATERs.

Tomorrow night at the Metropolitan
opera house will occur one of the
biggest social events of this season.
The occasion will be the benefit per-
Torrance for the Infants home. There
has been an unusually large sale of
seats for this performance and there is
every indication that it will be great

This company has been playing to the
capacity of the Min neapolis Grand

and public of that city have nothing but
praise for the company. Seats are now
selling rapidly at the box Office of the
Metropolitan and there is no doubt but
what the engagement will be great
success.

THE p. P. AGAIN vlNDICATEs,.


Not satisfied with vindicating Col.
Davidson in its issue of yesterday. fol-
lowing its numerous previous enforced
vndications of many others. the Pioneer
Press proceeds to vindicate Judge Flan-
drau in what he said in his speech, at
the Auditorium on the evening Of April
"a last concerning the candidacy of F.
B. Doran. The judge said he had lived
in st. Paul for nearly forty.one years.
and until Mr.. Doran hal been elected
to the common council of the city q
short time ago he had never known or
heard of him. This remark. created a
good deal Of criticism by papers and
speakers, all claiming that it was the
misfortune of the judge aud not of Mr..
Doran that he was unacQuainted with
the candidate. The PIP. now comes
out with the truth as follows:
"The Republicans made a mistake in
nominating Il candidate for mayor who,
though thoroughly worthy of the honor
that he sought, was not sufficiently we'll
known to our people, either as a politi-
clan or man OF business, to make the
campaign against gentleman of as
great personal popularity as Robert A.
Smith. He would have made an admi-
rable mayor, possibly most admirable in
those very particulars in which those
who did not know him were doubtful.
But that was just the Iroabie; there
were so many who did not know him.
In canvass which is crowded into
few weeks In big city like this, it is
an essential of success to choose as a
leader some man who needs no intro
duction. and has not to make acquaint-
ance with the voters" and so on to the
end.
This nomination was, for the reasons
above set out by the PIP. ,only one Of the
many blunders of the Republicans. 1t
was followed by continuation Of SINH
lar blunders by the p. P, and uniform
next day retractions. until the people
lost all confidence in anything the paper
said, and tie necessary consequence re.
suited in the election of the Democratic
candidate. If the foresights of the p. P.
were as reliable as its hindsights 1t
would make quite sagacious leader of
public sentiment. but this last conces-
sion to the better judgment of its Demo-
cratic opponents will destroy what little
lingering hold upon the public conf
dence it might otherwise have had left.

FROM THE BIRDS

Must Come the Principle Of Aerial
Navigation.
Contemporary Review.
The resistance of the air is the one
all-sufficient fulcrum or basis ON which
very flying machine must rely. In the
investigation of its laws something has
been done by the study of the flight of
birds, and the analysis of the results of
instantaneous photographs of them,
especially by modern French writ
ers. For the laws which govern
the flight of birds must,
mutatis mutapdis-that Is, in prin-
ciple-apply to all aerial locomotion.
Hence. in the last edition Of the Ency-
ciopedia Britannica, we see progress on
the subject. Thus we find therein an
Instructive table, showing clearly that
contrary to many peoples ideas upon
the subject. the sustaining or wing area
in all flying bodies Ill nature increases
in much less proportion than the in
creased weight to be carried.
