we are delighted to learn that the
name of Thomas B. Reed, a statesman
and a leader OF men, who is most
worthy of our suffrages, has very
high place in their affections and
esteem. We undoubtedly shall sup

Louis. But men and brethren, what
mean these signs ofdiscontent? Hath
not the mighty leader in New York
spoken? IT'S yet nearly month to

afford to, and perhaps-but then who

A Hard.rlOneY Issue.

1t is all very well to throw up our
hats, and ding dong, ding dong for
ultra high tariff, belfry patriotism the
Italians callit. Twice the republicans
have lost the presidency on the throw
of that card, and will it pay to risk
third? 1t is serious question; an
issue upon which some effective work
might be done, did not the silver
question loom now into greater
prominence. Issues do not always
come at the bidding of political lead
ers, and this time new deal is immi-
nent, thanks-or maledictons, as we
may look at ito the people South
and West, who force the financial
question to the front. 1t is lament
able matter, it is certain, and near
the danger line, and must be decided
for better or worse the present year.
The protective issue can give the coun-
try no easement like the settlement of
some standard ofvalues. Noevasions
will do now, no shutting for advan-
tage. The country has this one duty
uppermost, to redeem its financial
pledges though the heavens fall But
in this case the heavens won't fall,
neither as we hope will the gold stand

Mr.. Mckinley, who personally ire

Since the assassination of the Shah
of Persia the sultan has been in con-
slant dread of similar fate. A
pleasant sensation. Over 1900 Ar
menians suspected of having design
on his lite have been arrested and SO
exiled to Anatoia. Sixteen young
Turks have also been exiled. Stu
dents of the Armenian college at
Galata have each been sentenced to
20 years imprisonment for having in
their possession subscription lists for
the relief of Atmenians in Zeitour.
The sultan evidently regards his life
as worth something.

to the bishopric by the General Con-
ference of the Methodist church this
week, will be pleasantly remembered
as the man who so delighted the pat
rons of the St. Johnsbury lecture
course few years ago with his lee
ture on "The Bright Side of Libby
Prison." He delivered this lecture
before large audience in Cleveland
last week, being introduced by Lieu
tenant-Governor Mansur of Vermont,
both of whom are delegates to the

brought over $50, 000into the treas
uries OF the church extension and mis-
sionary societies, as he gives the
entire proceeds to these objects.

ventions, will serve in likecapacity this

Against women's Clubs,

Mrs. Adeline D. T. Whitney doesn't
seem to approve of women's clubs. This
is what she says Of them in the Man
chester Union:
Zone passing word-good natured,
not cantankerous-about clubs: 1t is
borne in upon ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wo-
men nowadays, at least in and about the
great centers, are clubbing themselves
to death, and think l have found out
the heroic reason why. Suddenly-a lit
tie while ago-they discovered that they
were too many in the world-ever SO
many to one mainland with a grand
sagacity and a yet grander altruism,
they set out to thin down, as rapidly and
effectively as possible, their own ranks.
Naturalists tell US of wonderful little
race Of Alaskan rodents, which once in
q certain period reaches an enormous in
crease, so that its numbers are beyond
computation. Then, all at once, of their
own accord, they set forth in steady col
umns, deliberately, comfortably, gayly,
picking up their sufficient substance as
they go, and even multiplying on the
way, until their persistent march brings
them to the Pacific sea, into which they
calmly walk, and are drowned. Toward
some such brave, pathetic burial and end
is the great woman concourse, of its
own sublime will and purpose, march

then soundly beaten, not only by her
