1t now turns out, as a good many peo-
pie have expected, that Secretary Gresh-
am has taken no steps to investigate
the Imprisonment of ex-Consul Waller
by the French government. 1t is not at
all likely that he will do so in future.
Mr.. Waller is a negro, and the Demo-
cratic administration is not putting
itself to any trouble to protect the
rights Of colored citizens.

at Is evident that you wero never In

"How sou asked tho purchaser, with

Everybody wants what no can't got, and
there is nothing quito so attractive TO the
