Mr.. REEDS CHANCES.
Senator Chandler Thinks They are Ger
tainly Improving,

In another column the sage and jour-
nalist of Exeter, N. H., Mr.. Charles
Marsailles, continues his advocacy of Mr..
Reeds nomination in letter which we
commend to our Republican readers. We
do not entirely agree with Mr. Marseilles
in his conclusion that Mr.. Morton's can
didaoy in New York will be nominal,
or that Messrs. Platt and Quay are al
ready in favor Of the nomination of Mr..
Reed. Mr.. Marseilles's enthusiasm some
times makes him too antioipatory, al
though he has usually been a wise and
true prophet.
There can be, however, no dispute
about the correctness of his statement
that New England is becoming consoli-
dated and united in favor of Mr.. Heed.
There is little reason to doubt that the
delegates from the various New England
States will be solid for Mr.. Reed on the
first ballot in the convention, and until
he is nominated, or so long as there is no
reasonable prospect of his nomination.
Some political leaders in New England
are disposed to hold back their commit
tails to Mr.. Read, but the Republican
masses are in his favor and will send
Reed delegates
No doubt, also, Mr.. Reed is very strong
at the South. In the absence of certain
special and extraordinary exertions such
as are being made by the friends of Mr..
Mckinley in that section, and.whioh are
not being oounteracted by Mr.. Reed S
friends by similar methods, nine-tenths
of the delegates from the southern states
would be in favor of Mr. Reed on the
i1rst ballot, on account of his stalwart
Republicanism. The prospects for Mr..
Reeds nomination are therefore greater
than ever were those Of Mr.. Blaine, who
was seriously handicapped by the want of
what is to be now secured-New Eng
land unity.
The West, is becoming more and more
favorable to Mr.. Reed They like his
alGect and fearless methods, and are sat-
lsned with his opinions upon public
questions. platform satisfactory to the
western Republicans, will be adopted.

Senator Hoar has telegraphed the Presi-
dent that he will support any measure he
may propose to put an end to the massa-
ores in Armenia. 1t is difficult to see
however, how the United States can do
much in this direction. Apparently the
only way they can be stopped is by send
ing strong force of troops into the terri
tory where they are taking place. The
Sultan has evidently lost all control in
his Asiatic dominions and could not stop
the massacre if he was disposed to. We
could hardly make any stronger repre-
sensations to him than have the European
powers, and these have proved of little or
no avail Russia is the on ly nation in a
situation to deal etfectually with the
situation. She has troops upon the Dor
der and could throw a large force into the
disturbed territory in a few days and
effectually deal with the situation. If
the powers will give the word she will
stop the massacres in short order But
the other powers are afraid that when she
has once occupied the territory she will

will declare against the single gold
standard, will advocate bimetallism and
will demand the coinage of both gold
and silver as standard money as soon as
such coinage can possibly go forward in
connection with the maintenance of the
parity of the two metals thror ghout the
commercial world. On this platform
Mr.. Reed is most likely to be nominated.
He is sure to be elected by almost as large
q majority as General Grant had over
Horace Greeley; and an administrarlc n
faithful to home interests and maintain
ing the honor of the country in it's foreign
relatlons will supersede the present un-

: A man ought to be pretty well inform
ed of the facts and have pretty convin-
cling proofs before he makes such charge
as tho Rev. Mr.. johnson of Jefferson
City, Missouri, made against our minis
ter to Turkey. To say that he ought to
be hanged is practically to say he was
guilty of murder or aiding and abettin g
that crime. But we imagine if Mr. John
son were called upon for his proof it
would be of very flimsy nature if he
had any at all. Missionaries in Turkey
have borne testimony to Mr.. Terrell
services and. his valuable work in their
behalf. If he had been responsible even
in the slightest degree for the persecu-
ton Of the Christians, proof of it would
have been forthcoming long ago. The
Rev. Mr.. Johnson is either temporarily
out of his head or else he is reckless
slanderer.

Paris has lost one of it's curiosities By

trated. This is. we take it, the story
from which the play originated that has
SO recently occupied the boards in Boston-
:" A Social Highwayman" is certainly a
very dextrously handled bit of fiction.
In the reading, the fact that it is totally
impossible and inconsistent, seems not
to affect the interest in the story one
whit and without doubt compliment
turks in such criticism as that. We are
thrown back into new contemplation of
the truth, that, in this world, the bad
people are so good, and the good people
SO bad that endless complications arise
because of the fact, to puzzle and confuse
the student of human nature. A way out
of it isn't to be bad by tampering with
the one solid foundation, truth; (old
fashioned right and wrong, but the author
of this story does not propose any way
out of it; she simply turns on the lights
that illumine very varied scene. You
are to take these people or leave them, as
suits your literary TASTE If you take
them, you will secure piece of very
clever work and you will hardly escape

The Sorrows of Satan or The Strange
Experience of one Godfrey Tempest,
Millionaire. A Romance. BY Marie
Corelli, author Of "Barrabbas even
detta," etc. Miss Marie Corelli's PEN
chant for two worlds in one book, leads
no less parsonage than our industrious
arch enemy the Devil himself. Money
occupies the next most prominent place
in the drama. Two women, one of the
carnal, the other Of the intellectual and
moral type are introduced and an au-
thor, suddenly driven from poverty to
wealth and then back again, is the indi-
vidual for whose soul the game is played.
The intention in all this is very evidently
the humiliation by the author of the
enemies she may have made amongst
critics and publishers We should not
neglect to mention one other character
in this Romance, namely. the Prince of
Wales. For the harmonizing of the ele-
ments we have named above, we refer the
reader to the volume in hand. A mepbis-
tophelean picture by van Schaick prefaces
the story. Occasionally the ferocity of
attack made by this writer upon greed
and sin reaches point where good taste
and the text part company. (Philadel-

the sentiment in favor of SQUAD mon ey"
must be crystalized and combined is his
invitation to the John Sherman element
to rally around his standard His indi-
rect assertion that history teaches that
stimulated prices as the result of an ex-
banding currency are Elusive and I'M
substantial, is a palpable perversior
of the truth. No evil results such as he
mentions have ever occurred as the re-
suit of an expanding currency until con-
traction set in. It is contraction that
paralyzes and he acknowledges this
when he says: "The discredit and de-
probation in financial centers of any
form of money in the hands of the
people is a signal of immediate loss
everywhere" The people understand
this declaration of the presidents only
too we'll. They have experienced it.
They have seen the silver form of money
deprecated and discredited by legisla-
ton at the instigation of the president
and do not now need to be told by him
of the calamity which followed and
which always follows such a course.

Talk to these people and they are
charming conversationists. They are
not very familiar with the topics that
are SO eagerly discussed in northern
cities. They know little and, imagine,
cara less about the gold reserve or the
per capita of circulation, while the tar
if is an unsolved puzzle. But speak of
French history, of the Aoadian exile,
and see their faces glow. Amusements,
dancing, riding and the affairs Of tbs
heart are their texts, and how eloquent
is the sermonl Just little bewildering
are the thrush of northern capital and
the hum of sawmills, rice mills, sugar
refneries and street cars. They would
far rather drive the cattle afield, gath
er fruit of vine and tree, smoke odd
shaped pipes and be happy.
The schools are nothing to be proud
of in most of the parish settlements, and
the wealthy families send their children
to New Orleans or farther north to be
educated. A large number indeed go SO
far as to send their children to New
England colleges, completely forgetting
the old time differences. Their natural
ly delicate compilations are made still
fairer by the exquisite care taken of
them by the Acadians, young and old.

the luxuriant dark hair are noted on ev-
