From the Troy Press.

sinsulariy enough, about the most ardent
third-termer in the United States is that
eminent and popular Republican. Chauncey
NJ Depew, now in London. The New York
World correspondent interviewed him
yesterday. His tribute to a Democratic
administration, coming frum one of the
fairest and foremost Republicans in the
country, will put to shame Those who
stubbornly refuse to see anything but evil
in it because it is Democratic. Mr.. Depew
is simply too big a man to talk like a ward
partisan when consulted ON the affairs uf
his country. He takes a broad, just,
patriotic and independent view. and speaks
out with praiseworthy frankness. This is
commendable trait in any public man OF
whatever party faith.

LAST OF "DAvE"MARTIN.

"Dave" Martin, the Philadelphia poll
tician, who astonished even his friends
by antagonizing Senator Quay n few
months ago, and who on that account has
become somewhat of a national character,
is about to resign from the national Repub-
lican committee because he fears his pres
enee would be uncongenial to Quay, who
will probably boss the committee.
Mr.. Martin is now a private citizen and
doubtless rejecting upon the unkind fate
which usually oyertakes one who is q
traitor to a friend. II there was ever a
shameless desertion it was that OF Martin
from Quay. Martin was made" by
Quay, to use the slang of the politician,
and in playing the Iscariot toward him
based his act on no moral ground. He sim
ply Joined with q combination which exs
pected to down" and take to themselves
all the sugar plums of bossism.
No desertfons was quite SO flagYant and
mean as that of Martin. He is now despised
by both factions, and his resignation from
the national committee will complete his
retirement~te. a. political obscurity which
is in this instance SO peculiarly deserved.

From the Boston Herald.

An effort is being made to induce the COM
ing Democratic State convention of New
York TO declare against third term in the
Presidency. There is not the least evidence
that any considerable number of people are
seeking il for the only man who could have
ii, or that he either desires or would accept
the honor. Hence it is not at all appropriate
al present. If the Democratic convention of
New York chooses TO regard it as such it
will be either proof on its part of an unrea
sonable fear OF the effect of President Cleve
lands popularity with the American people
or a gratuitous desire again to decorate him
with its dislike

TRICKS OF SOME FOREIGNERS

TRICKS OF SOME FOREIGNERS.
1t is announced that certain articles be-
longing to the Duke Of Wellington are to
be admitted into this country free of duty
because they are merely to be shown at the
Atlanta Exposition, though at first thought
the Treasury authorities were disposed
to levy the full tariff because they were
for private exhibit and sale.
The very fact that it was the purpose of
somebody who is managing the Dukes
scheme to make a private exhibit of the
art objects is proof that the purpose was to
effect a sale, and the trick of sending them
to the Atlanta Exposition does not change
the character OF the transaction. 1t is prob
able the Duke, like the late Duke of Marl-
borough and many other members OF the
British nobility, is in need of money, and
has therefore decided to dispose of the
family treasures as Marlborough did.
A few years ago the '.ADgelus." Nil

From Charleston News and Courier.

From Charleston News and Courier.
The News and Courier is confirmed in
the opinion, which it has heretofore ex.
pressed, that Mr.. Cleveland is the best man
for the Democratic party TO nominate as its
candidate for President next year. We
cannot but regard the sentiment that is SO
loudly and 80 aggrcssively expressed with
regard to his denomination, or the holding
OF third term by any President who has
been tried and approved by the act OF serv-
ing two terms acceptably, as unfounded
and absurd. Every new President is an
experiment. III he serves one term ac-
ceptabiy that is good reason for his re-elec-
ton. Ifhe serves thesecond term acceptably,
that is still better reason for electing him
for third term, If his party can elect him.
The question can safely be left to the votes
of the people of this country, who will al
ways have to decide. and who will never
make the mistake. We may be assured, OF
clecting an unworthy, incapable or dan
gerous" man three times.

The United States Senator who has

tariff struggle.
Senator Gray has declared himself to be
cannot admit he said, that there is any
such issue as a third term issue.1
"By third terni,'" he continued, 81 as
sumo is meant three consecutive terms in
the Presidential office. The ISSUE, as 1
understand it. is two terms for Mr. Cleve-
land. The President was first nominated
and elected in 1884. In 1888 he retired
to private life, became plain citizen, and
devoted himself to affairs OF personal bus
iness. During those four years he was one
OF the people and possessed no. public
/ office.
I'm 1892 he again accepted the nomina-
ton and was overwhelmingly and tri-
umphantly elected. 1t cannot. therefore,
In view OF the lapse of four years between
bis secohu anu thlrd nominatiOnS, be
logically argued that should he receive
renominat.ol at the hands OF his party
and be elected he would be serving u third
term 1t would be only his second Gun
secutive term of office; therefore the
'third-term' talk is illogical and mislcad-

Baptist Young PsopIe,s UntOm.

In discussing the July convention Of

America, Mr.. X. ii. Edmonds, editor Of
the Manufacturers Record, who is a mem
Der of the local executive committee, says
"The full meaning of the great conven-
ton of the Baptist Young Peoples Union,
to be held at Baltimore next July, is
probably not appreciated as yet by many
people. Looked at outside entirely of the
influence which it is calculated to have
upon this great denomination. which has
an active membership of about 100000
10 the United States, there is a still broad
er import into this convention in relation
to the country at large. The members Of
the Baptist Young Peoples Union of
America are mainly the active younger
members of the denomination, although
there is no restriction TO age, and many
of the most prominent older men ia The
denomination are active workers in The

its aim are 10 inspire greater zeal aud en-
lhusiasm in religious work in the rising
generation Of Baplisis throughout the
country The important feature Of the
convention in Baltimore as relates TO the
country al large. however, is the influence
that it will have in bringing about bet
ter acquainlanceship on the part Of the
people of all sections, and the breaking
down of the sectional lines that have to
some extent separated the various denom
nations as well az the various sections Of
the country. The gathering in Baltimore
will be composed Of the active leaders in
the denomination from every part Of the
country, North, South, East and West, as

Ho,c Bullets Are Caught.

Speaking of the bullet catching trick
in particular, Professor F. d. Howes,
who is also dealer in the art mystic said
There are literally but few tricks in
magic The so called new ones present.
ed to the public from time to time by our
leading magicians, coniurers or whatever
they call themselves are simply the revi-
val of some old experiments clothed in
new form. The catching of bullets is not
by any means a new trick, for il is almost
as old as magic itself. remember see
ing the old 'Fakir of Ava perform the
same trick, only in a different manner,
when | was boy. The catching of the
bullet is easily explained. In the first
place, to accomplish it the conjurer must
procure an old style caplock, smooth bore
musket, some powder, caps and leaden
bullet. All these must be perfectly free
from any deception. Now we come to
ramrod. Therein lies the whole mystery
of the trick. 1t is constructed with a
small metallic tube closed at one end and
so arranged as to become detached from
the end of the ramrod at will.
Having explained the construction of
all the appliances, We will now proceed to
do the trick. The gun, bullet, powder
and caps are freely given for examination.
The performer requests some one to put
the charge of powder into the gun. Next
he inserts a small piece OF paper and
rams it down, and by twist of the ram
rod to the left the small metallic tube is
dslodged from the point and remains
within the gun barrel. Now the bullet
is marked and placed in the gun by one
of the audience again the professor rams
it down. Now, by contrary twist, the
metal Iube becomes fast to the ramrod So
that in Withdrawing it the bullet is re.
moved.
"The performer now palms the marked
bullet and all remains TO do is to go
through the motions of catching it when
the gun is discharged. and the spectators
are thoroughly mysliied. You see, it is
all very simple when you know how"
