Possibly there is not a day that passes
in Paris but that some wreath or trivial
floral tribute is placed ON the statue of
the dead and remembered of France
What, we wonder. would the Partisan
journals say if Frenchman or French
woman had been treated in the way de-
scribed by a correspondent? He writes :
A few friends and myself collected a
small sum of money and purchased a
handsome wreath, to which card was
attached, In Memory of Nelson. This
wreath l sent by my servant, instruct
ing him to place the same ON or at the
foot of the Nelson column, in Trafalgar
square. The police constable ON duty

The Boston Journal has made a
change of ownership and management
the shares of stock heretofore held by
the Rogers heirs, amounting to about
tour-ffths of the whole, having passed
into the hands of W. d. Sohier and
Stephen O'Mears. The latter, who
was formerly general manager, returns
to the paper with complete control as
publisher and chief editor, the new
management beginning this week.

Goodly st. Albaps is shocked be-
cause lis saloon keepers have been
selling liquor on Sunday and the au-
thorities have forbid the same. This
is taken by some as granting virtual
license to sell on all other days. Pos
sibly the aforesaid authorities through
the week have been so busily engaged
in looking after the welfare of this
salntly village that they are not aware
that the ardent is sold every day in
the week The village fathers should
take little time week days to OBJ

The Unspeakable Turk.

The unspeakable Turk began to be the
sick man $50 years ago. He has been
very sick indeed several times SINCE
This time it really does look as if no
was sick unto death. But I don't
know. Perhaps it is only another attack
from which he will rally. Perhaps be-
fore these words are printed he may be
in extremis. For many reasons we must
of course ardently desire his removal,
bag and baggage, with all that is his, and
as ardently we must desire that he may
never come back again. Yet we must
agree that he has made the most pic
turesque history possible. What are the
wars of England and France compared
with the wars between one Christian
power after another with the grand
Turk? His cruelties, his despotism, his
harem, his galleys and galley slaves, his
famous bodyguard, are they not all pic
lures i'll the page of history? Surely
some gratitude is due to the Moslem for
those things. He fights like a bulldog;
he sacks towns and murders every man,
woman and child i'll them; his virtues
are our vices; he practices things which
we abhor; you can never hope to make
a Christian of him. out of all the west
ern arts he takes only those which min
lister to Lis pleasures. In fact, everything
that goes to tho making Of picture is
TO be found in the life, the character and
the history of the Turk. Let him go
by all means. l suppose that as soon as
the powers are agreed upon the future
of Constartinople he will go. But when
will that agreement arrive? And, to re-
peat. l doubt once more whether the
sick man is really sick unto DEATH

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the new
commander in chief of the regular
army, whatever his fighting qualities
may be has superabundance of
mouth, and it ought to be muzzled.
Right on the eve of threatened war
he opens this cavity in his head to de-
cry the detenses of his country. Such
conduct is undignifed and wholly I'M
called for, besides a good deal that he
has said is believed by men of brains,
whose mouths don't get away with
them, to be untrue.
