Miss kaiSer's Last Letter,

1t Is with regret that The Tribune an
nounces that tomorrow's twelve-page
issue will probably contain the last of
the very readable series Of letters writ
ten to this paper from London by Miss
Sadie E. Kaiser during her years So
5ourn in the English capital. Through
out the next month or two, Miss Kai-
ser will, as she informs US, be so busied
with the studies incident to the ending
Of her years tuition at the Royal
Academy of Music as to be prevented
from contributing her welcome weekly
greeting.
In dispensing with this feature of the
Saturday Tribune the editor desires, on
behalf of its readers, to express the de-
light which both he and they have felt
in Miss Kaiser's charming correspond
ence. Making no pretenslon to liter
ary experience; in fact, never having
previously written for the press, Miss
Kaiser undertook the assignment with
reluctance, and wrote, at odd moments
snatched from her music studies, with
many misgivings as to the effect Of her
letters upon those to whom they were
addressed. We may say that we had
difficulty in persuading her to continue,
especially when one churlish contem-
porary published in her native city at
one time very ridiculously intimated
that the letters were possibly first re-
written before their appearance in
print.
The success of the letters, however,
has been an abundant vindication Of
them. In ease, grace and facility Of
description, together with the rare
knack of making the reader see things
with the writer's eyes and in sympathy
with the writer's mood, we do not hesi-
tate to pronounce the letters Of Miss
Kaiser, printed during the past year
In the Saturday issues Of The Tribune,
noteworthy contributions to the liter
ature of travel. With experience super
added to this natural gift 1t Is our be-
lief that the writer Of them would
make equally as prominent mark in
Journalism or literature as she bids fair
to make in the world Of song.

SCRANTON, JUNE Z, 1895.

Judging from the appearance Of the
Scranton Republican yesterday MORN
ing, the editor Of that paper evidently
imagines that every time he loses sleep
through a Tribune pleasantly. the har-
mony Of theRepublican party in Lacka-
wanna county is at once disrupted.
This probably arises from his inaccu-
rate belief that he is the Republican
party. Whatever may be true Of the
editor Of the Scranton Republican, the
Republicans OF Lackawanna county
are not worrying as to the future.

The Ascension of Olney.

When Mr.. Cleveland first named his
present attorney general for place in
the.cabinet, the universal question was:
"Who the dickens Is Olney?" During
the two years Of Olney's occupancy Of
the attorney-gsneralship, nothing has
occurred to answer this Interrogation.
Nobody today knows anything more on
the subject than that Olney is Olney-
man from somewhere picked up some-
how by only somewhat of a president.
The announcement that Olney Is to
be made secretary Of state will occa-
sion very little surprise. In a
cabinet Of nobodies 1t is natural
for the least known nobody to rise to
the highest heights. Otherwise. there
would be no virtue IN being a nobody,
and no reason for having cabinet
Of that spherical species. Olney as Sec
retary Of state would be fitting COM
plement TO Gresham in the same posi-
tion. Neither had shown qualifications
for his place: under the present regime
Il seems now to be esta blished as q
rule that the less the qualification the
greater the place.
There Is yet reason, though, in the
appointment Of Olney, and It Is found
in the fact that no decent Democrat
would take the office. Senator Morgan,
the ablest foreignraffairsman of them
all. would not be caught dead in O
Cleveland cabinet; William c. Whitney.
the next best, doesn't have words
enough to express his contempt for the
Cleveland type Of diplomacy: Ambassa-
dor Eustis II too much of a man and
even Don M. Dickinson. faithful cuckoo
that he is cannot get along with an
English gag in his mouth. What could
be more natural, therefore, than that
the president should fall back on
olney? Olney, at least, is inoffensive;
for doesn't Olney play tennis like q
bird with Sir Julian Pauncefote?

A case was on Tuesday filed in the

Bishop WaIdcn's Tour.

Bishop Walden was not able to
meet the Mission Conference at
Corea at the appointed time. After
finishing his visitation in Japan,
he went to Nagasaki to take the
steamer for Corea. The irregularity
of the steamer service, due to the
use OF the vessels by the Japanese
Government for war purposes, in
volved the delaying OF the party at
Nagasaki for two weeks, which were
made delightful by the hospitality
OF missionaries and the courtesy OF
American residents and OF the OIL
GERS of the United States cruisers
Baltimore and Charleston, which
were at the time in the harbor.
The bishop and his party finally
took the steamer for Shanghai,
hoping to reach the seat OF the con-
ference In Corea from that point, or
from some other Chinese point.

party is excellent.-Exchange.
