ary pain from being obliged TO forego
some pretty fancy but by the young these
things arc enjoyed and longed for.
There is something pitiful in the young
girl trying with her faded trimmings to
remodel her old hat or much worn dress,
which must do anyway, and the season
when happiness eau be made or marred by
,rifles is SO brief that there Is real pathos
In its going by marked only by depriva-
tions.
IL would seem TO be unnecessary to ad-
wise pooplo who wish 10 give present TO
select something not plaringly inappro-
pirate, but there is evidence every day that
a largo proportion of donors require in
struction IN the simplest rudimonts of the
art of gift Giving. AS an example may be
cited the instance of certain church con-
erogation who, desiring 20 offer n testi-
monial To their blind organlst, presented
him with toilet set the principal feature
Of which was a fine hand mirror.

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.

The chief feature OF the foreign rela-
tions of the United States has heretofore
been the fact that the United States has
had no foreign relations worth talking
about. So far as other nations were
concerned we have been chiefly in
terested in observing them, and fur
nishing pretty girls for their noblemen's 8
wives.
Now there seems to be different idea
gaining currency at Washington. The
President appears to have adopted the
notion that we have foreign relations.
He has been aeing some rather TORY
tumbling, but he has now apparently
settled upon the theory that we must
stick a finger into every diplomatic pot
that begins to simmer and steam.
AT the time it really looked as though
there would not be likely to be any
more silly piece of business atte mpted
by the State department than the
Hawaiian patch work, but that was fol-
lowed by the attempt to settle the
Japan-China war, the Bluefelds faux
pas, and now comes the Armenian fool
ishness, which is the worst Of all.
1t is lamentable, of course, that Arme-
mans should have been butchered by the
bloody Turks. 1t is too bad that su ple
in all countries do not behave as well as
we do, or as we think they ought TO.
but they do not.
Still, Mr.. CLEVELAND seems TO think
that it is a part of his business to reform
thee wcrld, though diligent search
through his state utterances fails TO re-
veal any special conservation to This
line Of reform work.
The attempt to poke our American
nose into the Armenian matter may
result rather seriously. 1t is in the
nature Of an assumption Of interest in
diplomatic affairs that are not in
the remotest degree our business
What possible good can come Of
sending diplomatic agent TO
examine into a matter that this country
cannot pursue beyond observation Is
something that Mr.. CLEVELAND and
Mr.. GRESHAM may have considered and
settled, but which is a dark problem 4,
everybody else.

THE NEWS MAIL BAG.
The CHASTITY Atheist.

To THE EDITOR or The NBwsi
SIR-And SO the arch intidel, the BIAS
phemous agnostic, the ghastly atheist has
again visited Providence and gone. The
brazen, neartless, shameless sophist was
well rewarded for his two hours of most
horrible blaspheny; he carried away
big bag of money. III he were
half the man of Iscariot he
would have gone after his performance
and hanged himself. But Shylock Rob-
ert has no mind TO part with his thirty
pieces" What an atrocious insult to the
Christian people Of Providence! What q
libel on the human family the aggregate
of the reciprocal OF sour heavenly
Father" One cannot conceive that
this city and vicinity can contribute
an Opera House full OF men land women)
who on the evening of the Lords Day
will sit by the hour and hear and applaud
that gibald blasphemer as he ridicules,
SCOTS and Kisses the name of the God of
nations, our country's God, the God Of
the Bible, the family and the home.
Query-Why does not Robert travel to
the ends of the earth, il needful, until he
finds people without faith in God, and
then cast in his lot among them? Because
the willy Robert knows that il such a
people existed on the face OF the globe
there would not be an available
ducat among them for his
purse. Robert is an "bonorable
man " and he and his family enjoy living
in Christian country with its Christian
society, its Christian enterprise and pros
perity, its Christian institutions and
blessings innumerable. Nor does Robert
seek a residence In the most Goddess por-
tion of his city or neighborhood. No, no.
The monster Is too sagaefoss.. 1T would
seem that Roberts atheism, robed in his
gift of diction, wit, sarcasm, lying and
sophistry, is fine card for winning the
fond shekels, but in trying it on him
self and family he prefers to live in Goods
Country" as thoy say in the West.

ANOTHER ONE.

This is great season, here in Provi-
dence, for doing honor to long and faith
full service. Anumber of our good citi-
zens have enjoyed this distinction re-
Gently. Yesterday it was the turn of
Rev. G. A. l.. RICHARDS, the esteemed
rector of ST. Johns Episcopal Church, who
was the recipient of congratulations on
the occasion of the twenty-ffth ami
versary of his occupancy of St. Johns
pulpit. There was noteworthy service
in the church last Sunday, and yester-
day the parish and members of the Epis-
copal Church generally gave the rector a
reception at the parish house.
To the many friends of DR.. RICHARDS
the reception was of particular salts
faction. The good words that were said
by the fellow clergymen and by the
chairman Of the occasion, Mr..
WILLIAM GAMMELL, were worthy
tribute to a worthy recipient
Many pastors from the pulpits
of other denominations were present,
too, to show their clerical feeling, and
there was instrumental music and a
joyous time throughout the evening.
And citizens of Providence who could not
participate in this fine expression of
esteem, all joined, however, in the spirit
of the occasion, and will wish Dr.
RICHARDS many more years of the kind
of service he has given his parish and
the community, which enjoys the
the advantage of its wholesome Chris
tian influence.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
IL Was the Party That Was Con-
demned.
Fall River News.

"The landslide OF Nov. 9 was not Republi-
can victory In the sense of being a popular
condemnation OF tariff reform or an
Endorsement OF protection" says the
New York Herald. No one need
waste any time considering the distinction
that Is raised by The Herald. IL does not mat
ter whether the landslide be con-
sidcrcd an Endorsement of protec-
ton or not. No one, whatever views he
may entertain as regards this question,
will deny that the people registered their
condemnation to tho Democratic party.
Within four years the country has had
two very valuable lessons. one In protection
and the other In Democratic tariff
reform. The first lesson was accom-
panied by prosperity and the second by
hard times. Because the country held
the Democratic party responsible for the
uncertainty which had 80 depressing an
effect on all kinds OF business. the vot-
crs recorded their disapproval at the
polls IL was the party that fell victim en-
November. and IL does not greatly matter
whether the psrty's principles were involved
in the landslide or not.

and ignorant Secretary Of State blund-
cred when the precedent was established.
1t is not difficult TO realize that dab
bling in European affairs will be sure
to bear fruit that we do not want.
The recent conduct of the state de-
partment with reference to matters
closely affecting England will not
bear moments examination. The
proposal to interfere between Japan
and China was suggested by
England, as was the later offer to act
as mediator. The agent has been sent
TO Armenia at England's suggestion,
after such action had been pronou need
against when Turkey made the request /.
But the gravest, as well as the most
amusing instance of trucking 10 Eng
land by this administration, is discovered
in the history of its diplomacy in the
Buefelds matter, now just coming to
light.
This Government some time ago rec
ognized the right of Nicaragua to sov-
ereignty over the Bluefields strip of
territory that has been in dispute. This
course was taken, it now appears, be-
cause Mr.. GRESHAM believed it
would be agreeable to England.
Then England said she would
not recognize the right of Nicaragua to
control in Bluefields, and when Mr..
GRESHAM heard of it he nearly suffered
a ''shock." But he proceeded to spread
the report that all was lovely, and Eng
lands minister had not correctly under
stood the position OF his government.
Our minister in London was asked TO
ascertain the truth, and he was coolly
told that England does not recognize
the supremacy of Nicaragua in the
Mosquito strip.
What will the Administration do
now? II has told Nicaragua "you
may" England says to Nicaragua, "you
shall not" The situation clearly de-
mands a note to England requiring
observance of the Monyoe doctrine,
and after that visit to Bluefelds
by some American warships and the
placing Of Nicaragua in possession.
Either that or fiat backdown by Mr.
GRESHAM, and the consumption of an
other large dish Of the diplomatic crow
he has become so infatuated with of late.
England means to control the Atlantic
entrance to the Nicaragua Canal. That
is plainly enough her motive in the
Bluefields matter. The Monroe doc
rine is dead against such control.
There has never been an occasion calling
for more intelligent and determined
enforcement OF the doctrine that
European influence shall not be
extended on this continent,
We forced the French out of
Mexico. Shall we allow England to con-
troll the Nicaragua canal, which we, as
a nation, propose to build?
Watch CLEVELAND and GRESHAM bun
gle this great question.
