1t is the place, above all others, for

In Madagascar, Too.

1t is possible that the administration
may have complication with France add
ed to its tangle of foreign questions to be
considered and dealt with. Unofficial
news has been received of the alleged per-
secuti on of an American citizen at Tama-
tave, in the island of Madagascar. John
l.. Waller is colored man, who was ap-
pointed consul at Tamatave by President
Harrison. He was superseded by Presi-
dent Cleveland and remained on the island,
engaged in the india rubber industry
Waller secured from the Hova or native
govern ment an important commercial con-
cession covering the southern section of the
island. The French residents resisted the
granting of the concession and were in
censed toward Waller in consequence of
his success. France claims protectorate
over Madagascar, and made the fact that
Waller had been in correspondence with
the native government pretext for trying
him by court martial and sentencing him
to 20 years. Imprisonment. If the facts
prove to be as stated it will be the duty OF
our government to make an earnest pro-
test to France in the matter.

Levi p. Morton, Governor of New York.

Levi II. Morton, Governor of New York.
Hon. Levi p. Morton has given very pos
tive evidence this week that he is the gov
ernor of New York, that he is not wear
ing Thomas C. Platt's collar, and that he
intends that the state of New York and
the city of New York shall have the re-
form administration which the great over
turn of last November called for. AL
though the Republicans have full power to
clean out the Tammany gang in New York
city by means of Republican legislature,
a Republican governor and a Republican
mayor, the only measure thus far enacted
to give the reform movement effect is the
power r-of-removal bill. For ten weeks bills
to give Mayor Strong power to remove the
corrupt Tammany police justices and to re-
organize completely the rotten police sys-
tens of the city, have been hung up in the
legislature for the sole reason that Mayor
Strong has refused to give Mr.. Platt the
offices which he has demanded for his
henchmen, and that Mr.. Platt owns enough
of the country members of the legislature
to control its action in this respect.
This being the situation, Gov. Morton
addressed to the legislature on Monday a
pointed message plainly stating the facts,
and reminding the members of their duty
in dignified but unmistakable language.
The message had prompt effect in causing

Minister Thurston, whose recall Secreta-
ry Gresham had requested of the Hawaiian
government, left Washington Tuesday for
San Francisco, en- route for Honolulu,
without waiting for formal notice to re-

to talk about the attitude of the admins

The Atlantic Monthly for April contains
instalments of the two serials now running:
"a singular life," by Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart

mighty" by Gilbert Parker. Fiction is
further represented by the second part of
"Gridou's pity" by Grace Howard Pierce,
and a touching single-number story, by
Annie Trumbull Slosson, entitled "Dumb
Foxglove." An atmosphere of spring
is given to the issue by a delightful
paper on "Flower lore of New England
children" by Alice Morse Earle. Two
papers of educational interest are "The
expressive power of English sounds" by
Professor Albert II. Tolman, and "The ba-

Jay Greenough. In memory of the la

an appreciative tribute from the pen of

Another "Card OF Thanks" from the
Bows, Battalion Council.

The boys of the battalion can and will speak
for themselves, but the members of the council
desire TO express without delay their deep apl,re
citation of the hearty public endorsement OF the
the large attendance Wednesday evening at the
drill, and in particular, 10 thank most heartily
those who have co6perated in the most painstak-
ing and cordial way possible, in making the exhi-
bition a success. We extend our sincere acknowl-
edgements and gratitude TO Col George II. Bond
and the splendidly trained company of young la
dies, whose drilling perfection itself, and
whose organization as an allay of the battalion in
common work, we hope to see perpetuated; to
the First Regiment band whose music, admirably
selected and rendered, was the inspiration of the
marching; to Capt. Estey and the gentlemen Of
the remarkable bayonet drill, but also of the un-
failing courtesy which has marked their whole
relation to the boys" to Captain Weld of the
Fuller Battery for the favors and assistance he so
thoughtfully and generously gave, and to Mrs.
beautiful selection. We desire TO say to Gov.
Holbrook that his words and presence combined
TO lift the whole occasion into the earnest and sig
nificant spirit where he best could place it, and to
express TO him, and to Gov. Fuller, Col Austine,
Col Hooker, and the other gentlemen and ladies
who reviewed the ranks the lively satisfaction
and encouragement which their welcome pres
ence and evident approval afford us. The pro-
ceeds OF the drill will materially help in complet-
ing the payments due on the equipment and al
though the amount to be paid is large we feel
that we have the support of the community in
this work, and that good degree Of success In
carrying out our aims will prove il TO be one of
the most economical as well as sensible efforts In
local Christian enterprise.

On a Kentucky railroad, in the small
hours of Wednesday morning, there was
pleasing variation on the regulation story
of train robbery. Near Greenwood, at
the somnolent hour of 2:30, six men held
up Ia southbound express train. The
schedule called for the engineer and fire
man to be covered" with shot-guns, the
express messenger to be bound and gagged,
and the passengers to go into their boots
What really happened was that several
road detectives on board the train began
shooting as soon as the train stopped, and
before the robbers knew where they were
at three of them were dead, and the other
three were running for the woods. For
once the railroad officials were "on to "
their little game.

The German Reichstag did an unaccount-
able thing last Saturday in refusing, 1G3 to
146, to pass vote of congratulations to
the Prince Bismarck on his birthday. Fac
tional politics was at the bottom of the
action, lot of usually discordant elements
uniting for that occasion. 1t is no wonder
that in the face of this insult TO the grand
old man, who made the German empire
possibility, the president of the Chamber
resigned, the Emperor was enraged and the
people at large we're greatly excited. On
Monday the Emperor, heading a body of
troop, members of the Reichstag, and dis
tinguished officials, paid Prince Bismarck
visit at his country seat. In addressing his
visitors the old man broke down and cried,
and everybody was visibly affected.
