THE ABLEST REPUBLICAN LEAD
ERS.

Thomas B. Reed is not only the ablest
living leader Of the Republican party,
but one Of its wisest, truest and best
councillors, and whatever may be his
personal ambitions they are always sub
ordinated to it's best interests. When he
says: Amy straddlc of the financial
question by the ST. Louis convention
would be grave political mistake, I"
he utters a truth which only serves to
show that he would make q safe and
strong standard bearer in the coming

A Washington despatch to the Bos-
ton Herald makes the statement
that Quay's journey to Canton was
for the purpose of rendering not only
his own submission to Mckinley but
Platt's also. II that be true it would
seem that either Platt's surrender Was
not accepted or that the New York boss
afterward tn ought better of it and with
drew his allegiance, for his behavior since
that memorable visit has certainly not
been that of a man who had made his
peace with the Ohio candidate. The
probability is that the Herald has been
misinformed, and that Quay carried
nothing but his own submission, if in
deed he carried that.

In The Ladies' Kennel Journal there
is printed Il story Of George Eliot's ia
vorita spaniel, which Mr.. Robert Buch-
anan tells. One day when the novel
list, George Lewes, and Mr.. Buchanan
were engaged in earnest conversation
they were disturbed by Il sudden yelp Of
pain from beneath the table. Examina-
ton revealed the fact that n child of 3
years of age or so had been amusing
himself by shipping at the animals ears
with Il pair of scissors. and the mangled
condition of the dog showed how much
torture he had borne before giving way
or uttering "a sound of protest. George
Eliot was. naturally, violently angry,
and was about to punish the child, but
the dog, divining her intention, licked
his little Prosecutors face and mutely
begged him off the whipping he had
richly deserved.

the hold-up until he could get around
where there was a revolver lying, which
he grabbed, and commenced firing. The
