Deathbed jokes are generally not au-
thentic, says the Youths Companion. The
celebrated one attributed to Tom Hood.
for instance, that he protested against
blaming the undertaken who had blum
dered into coming before the great wit was
dead, and said that the man had "only
come to urn a lively Hood is known to
be decidedly apocryphal.
Nevertheless, remark somewhat of the
same sort, which is attributed to Lord
Chesterfield in his last illness, is undoubt-
eddy authentic. Chesterfield was very i'll.
and his death was only a matter of a few
weeks; but his physician advised that he
be taken for an easy drive in his carriage,
and he went out.
AS the equipage was proceeding slowly
along it was met by lady who remark
ed pleasantly to the great invalid:
'Ah, my lord, / am glad to see you able
to drive out
Il am not driving out, madam" an
swered Chesterfield; Il am simply re-
hearsing my funeral"

From the Philadelphia Record Dem.).

We think that the free silver leaders
are right in their third party movement.
Until they shall have had an opportunity
to flock by themselves they will not be
able TO understand how hopeless is the
effort they are making to drag the coun-
try into the position of regulating its
honest debts. If the republicans and dem
ocrats have the courage to cut loose from
all ambiguous phrasng, and to make clear
and unmistakable declaration for the
maintenance of our finances and a gold
basis, there will be no other logical course
open for the populists and free silver men
than to try conclusions by putting in the
field third candidate for the presidency.

Great Britain as a ..Power.v
FrOm the chIeag0 RECORD Nndl.

The episode of the flying squadron is
significant. both of the actual fighting
strength of Great Britain and of her pc
other nations. The world speaks of Eng
land as a power" but England without
her dependencies and her navy could be
overrun in ten days by any continental
nation that chose to do so. England. in
fact, is but the business office of whole
empire. and the empire. while large in
territory, is defended and kept together
only by Engands domination of the
much larger region of the sea. This ex-
plains the immense size and power of the
British navy. 1t explains, also, the rea-
sons why the British government at the
first suggestion of war is so anxious to
get out on salt water. Sea power is Eng
lands great weapon. Naturally ii Is the
TO which she makes instant resort. no
matter how tri1ing the dangers which
threaten.

The much talked of silver convention
in Washington day before yesterday was
nothing more than populist conference
There was not a man of prominence of
either of the old parties in attendance
upon it. The leaders were the old silver
hacks who have led every meeting of the
kind for long time, and the others in
attendance were fiedglings who amount
to nothing in brains or influence This
meeting, like so many of it's predecessors.

1t is probably not generally known that
an uncle and a nephew sit together on
the supreme bench of the United States,
but such is the case. The uncle is JUS
tice Field, and the nephew is Justice
Brewer. Justice Brewers mother was
Justice Fields sister, Emeia, the wife
of Rev Josiah Brewer, who was for a
long time engaged in missionary work
in Asia Minor. Justice Brewer was born
in Turkey. When he was about fourteen
months old, his parents having then re-
turned to this country, he was taken on
a visit to his uncle, then Lawyer Stephen
J. Field. Speaking of the incident the
other day to his uncle, Justice Brewer OBJ
served: You didn't dream then, Uncle
Stephen, that one day that fourteen
months-old baby would sit on the su-
preme bench with you" NO" laughed
Justice Field NOR did 1 dream that 1
should one day sit there"

Washington correspondents give the in
formation that a letter from Speaker
Reed touching upon the situation in Cuba,
and the policy that this government
should pursue in the premises, may be
looked for shortly. Mayor Pingree of
Detroit has written to the speaker ask
ing him for an expression of his opin-
ion. 1t is hardly probable that the let

speaker-candidate must have time TO
brush up his knowledge of the use of the
subjunctive mood in connection with a

It is to be hoped that the Hon. George
L. Wellington, the new senator from Ma
ryland, does not look like the newspaper
pictures that are being printed with his
name under them. The pictures show a
beardless face with an icepick contour,
wearing the callow expression Of young
fellow who is just about to enter col
lege, and is doubtful about what is ahead
of him. OF course. Mr. Wellington can
not be youth, or so child-like as the pic
lures represent him to be, or he could
never get into the Senate.

Prof. Totten, the great star-gazer Of
New Haven, came down to earth a few
days ago and stayed long enough to ad-
wise the several governments of the two
Americas to get together and form a

sible. The professor says it is the manifest
destiny of the hemisphere that it shall be
bound together in Greater America
Since that end is destiny, why should
the matter be put off any longer?

the Salvation Army was considered hard

A Chicago paper has threatened

Much of the hostility to the actress that

Is caused by the fact that the hall in

ship.
