AS TO the Republican aspirants for
the Presidency. Mckinley, of Ohio, seems
just now to be in the lead for the nomi-
nation OF his party next year; but
'there's many a slip 'twixt tie cup and
the lip" and with two such astute poll
ticians IS Senator Quay and Boss
Platt working together there is no
telling what the outcome of the next
national Republican convention will be.
Reed is on able man, but somehow he
didn't measure up to the full standard
OF Presidential leadership during the
last session of Congress, and hence did
not then strengthen his chances for the
Republican nomination next year. Gov.
ernor Morton, of New York, is este nsi-
aibly Mr.. Platt's choice for the Presi-
dent.al nomination next year, but his
age will initiate against him, and it is
generally believed that Boss Plat ia
only using his name for temporary pur-
posas with a deep, Interior object in
view. Senator Allison, OF Iowa, is
looked upon as sort of dark horse in
the race; bit with a powerful Eastern
and Middle States combination pulling
in an opposite direction his chances
have not frightened with the great Re-
publican victory at the polls on Tues

party ia getting right back to bedrock

THE CHURCH OF ST. SOPHIA.
It Stands AS the Masterpiece of byzantine
Architecture and Construction.

It Stands as the Masterpiece of byzantine
Architecture and Construction.
Materials were brought from far and
near, Egypt and Greece uniting with
Asia Minor and tho islands, each con-
tiSuous to the capital, in supplying their
quota of marble for tho columns and
walls of tho church Of st. Sophia. For
nearly six years tho work went on with
undated energy. Many difficulties
were overcome and many experiments
were tried aud found successful, and Mt
length, Oh the Goth of December, 537,
the church was dedicated amid tho ac-
clamations of tho populacc, and tho en-
peror exclaimed III the fullness If his
pride: "Glory DO to God, who hath
thought mo worthy to accomplish so
great work. 1 have vanquished thee,
. Solomon!'
Tho empcror's JOY III his church was,
however, destined to receive rude
shock some 90 years later, when the
apse and part of the dome wcro thrown
down by an earthquake, but tho same
enargy which was shown III the build
ing of the church again asserted itself.
The damage was repaircd-tho dome
being heightened 20 feet to give it adj
ditional security-and the church was
reconstructed on tho gath Of December,
563, 51a years after the disaster.
The church of st. Sophia has never
been surpassed in the unity and com
pleteness of its design and in the dar-
ing nature of its construction. In this
building the arch and dome assert them
selves and dominate everyt hing, and we
have lightness, q spaciousness and q
grandeur that had never been reached in
the finest of the basilicas and has never
been surpassed since During all tho
centuries which have elapsed since it's
erection, it has maintained its supremacy
as the masterpiece of Byzantine archi-
lecture and construction, and it fixed
generally the type Oil which most of the
later churches i'll the east were based,
but it has never been surpassed by any
of them. -Scottish Review

IT is now ssid that the French gov
eminent Is willing to release ,ex Consul
Waller as an act OF graciousnegs, but
his family do not desire that he should
regain his liberty on any such terms.
They want an indemnity for the losses
he has sustained pecuniarily and for the
sufferings he has had to endure. WAL
Ter himself has not been heard from on
the subject, but It's very probable that he
will hold the same views that his family

to be entirely without funds and the
American Government will no doubt do
everything reasonable to secure him
the proper remuneration.

CONGRESS- will be asked in December
to place Government building and
exhibit at the Tennessee Centennial
Exposition. Tennessee will be one
hundred years old in 1896, and the
people OF the State are prepared to
spend $500. 0O0 and more, if necessary,
to celebrate the event. II Tennessee
can afford to celebrate her going into
the Union thus deliberately, certainly
the Government representing the MON
can afford to recognize the accession of
Tennessee. The celebration of the one
hundredth birthday of State is q
national affair. and Tennessee's Inter-
state and International Exposition
should be omptly recognized by Con-
gross. At q meeting of the executive
committee of the exposition Thursday,
November z, it was decided that no
charge will be made to exhibitors for
space. The committee on classif flea ton,
with the director general as chairman,
was given absolute authority to accept
or reject each exhibit proffered. and to
say how much space each shall have and
where located.

As LONG as the Democratic party is
true to the fundamental principles In
which it originated, and which are as
enduring, and only as enduring az self
government, just so long will the p3rty
exist. 1t may fall on the evil times
when its trusted agents and administra.
tors depart from the safe anchorage Of
those early principles, but the aberrs-
t,on will be temporary, and its restora-
tion to power will come with the change
of those agents and administrators.
And it will come through the independ
ent action of the Democratic masses
themselves, perhaps in apparent oppo-
sition to the party, as it did in Mary
lard lass Tuesday when the honest
voters Of the party arose in their might
and drove the corrupt bosses from the
power which they had prcstituted and
abused. 1t was done in tho interest Of
genuine Democracy aud to correct evils
that were sapping the foundations of
democratic government. Peters,
