SEWILL'S LITTLE GA NE.

They do not wisely who suppose Tom wat
son has a full monopoly of NicePresidential
fun. 1t is not So and will not be while Ar
thur Sewall lives. The Cracker candidate Is
by far the more hnlcyon and vOciferOus. and
adds more to the gayety Of nations. But the
quiet man way down in Maine Is getting In
his fine work. all the same, and Is probably
contributing more to the ultimate and inevi-
table cataclysm. "Sewall can't be elected.

Arthur Sewall's pocket for three to be

ALL
SO. while Thomas is thrashing around and
raising Texas with his hambOyant speeches,
Arthur is content with his little literary bu-
reau And what bureau it is, and what cam
paign documents ii is sending out. Chicago
platform? Boy Orators cross and crown? Free
silver poppycock? Well scarcely. But ex-
tracts from the Republican PLATFORM and from
McKney's letter Of acceptance, and from the
speeches of Blaine and other Republican
statesmen and, in general. the stffest kind Of
straight Republican doctrine and the strong
est possible appeal for the election of Mckin-
ley and Hobart and Republican Congress, and
the fulfilmcnt of the Republican platform.
That is the sort Of campaign literature that
is going out. broadcast and wholesale, under
Arthur Sewall's name, and-to cap the climax
under date of September II. the Maine election
day, That is Arthur Sewalls reply TO Tom
Watson's somew hat eXigent invitation 10 step
down and out. And ii strikes the unprejudced
and discriminating observer that, up to the
hour of going to press, Arthur is one large.
ripe huckeberry ahead.
1t may be that there are some Old-fashoned
mOralists who will look with austere disfavOr
upon such n proceeding. They may protest
that candidate on one ticket ought not to
work for the success of the other ticket. and
that the Vice-Presidential candidate ought not
to sell out for private advantage his Presi-
dental colleague? But what would you?
The whole Popocratc campaign Is a sclling-out
affair Bryan himself frankly avows his de-
sire TO sell ont one class to benefit another.
The Chicago platform is nothing but bill Of
sale. 10 barter the Nations prosperity and
honor for the enrichment Of few silver mine
owners and gold-contract sharps. II it he
right to sell out all the people. il surely is right
TO sell out one or two Of them If the whole
Popocrat party has gone into the bunco bust
ness Arthur Sewall is certainly entitled to run
his own little game. More power to his elbow.

STORMS WORTH OBSERVING.

People In this neighborhood who slept
soundy through Friday night until dawn of
yesterday are, perhaps, to be congratulated
upon their immunity from insomnia They are
to be c0mmiserated, however, on having missed
seeing and hearing two Of the most remarka-
BILE storms our very remarkable climate has
treated us to for many day To those whose
nerves are not unpleasantly affected by at
mOspherc electricity. the occasion was one or
Incompatible exhilaratiOr and spectacular ell
ioyment such as, once known. will never be
forgotten.
There was little premonitiOn of 1t in the early
evening. save few vagrom clouds. which
presently betook themselves beyond the hori-
zon For an hour two before midnight the
almost full moon was riding through cloud
less skies; and, indeed, for a couple of hours
after all was calm and serene Suddenly
heavy masses Of cloud rushed into view, and In
an incredibly brief tme-literally only few
minutes-covered the entire vault OF the
heavens Where the clouds were, there was IA
hurricane; where men were, the air was stag
nant In its Stiffness There were few huge.
splashing drops. and then q vertable deluge
OF rain. But most amazing were the blaze of
lightning and the roar OF thunder both liter
ally without cessation. Before the CLEAN OF
one fash ceased playing In the clouds, another
rent asunder the sable curtain. There was
never one perceptbe moment Of darkness. BY
actual count. there were more than sixty sepa-
rate flashes in a minute while Of course there
was no distinguishing between the peals Of
thunder when half n dozen or more were roar
Ing and reverberating at the same time. For
nearly twenty minutes this stupendous bonn
bardmept was maintained, more than thou
sand electric bolts having in that time been dis
charged Then. almost as suddenly as 1t had
begun, the storm went whrllng away. and the
glimmcr of the stars replaced the lightning.
and the quaint cry of the katydid was heard in
stead Of the thunder.
For half an hour. or perhaps little more. all
was again calm. Then. with even more fury

THE POPE on ANGLICAN ORDERS

The long expected decision Of the Pope as To
the validity of Anglican orders has at last been
made Only one sentence of it is published but
that is explicit enough. After long study
saws the Pontff II must confirm the DEGREES of
my predecessors that all ordinations made UNI
"der the Anglican rite are absolutely invalid"
And as il to emphasize the uncomprOmsing POI
sition Of the Roman Church on this question. Leo
embodes in his syllabus an appeal to the Angli-
can clergy to return to the Catholic Church,
which alone he says. has valid orders.
This adverse decision will be bitter disap-
pointment to a small knot Of High Anglicans.
who have been taking an intense interest in the
question The Roman Church has uniformly
maintained that Anglican orders are not only
irregular. but invalid. 1t holds that the min
istry Of the Church must trace Its succession
back through the bishops to the days of the
Apostles At least three bishops must unite in
the conservation of n bishop: each Of these three
bishops must have been similarly consecrated
and on back to Apostolic times. The Eastern
Church and the Anglican Church. it may he
added hold this same theory of the ministry
which Is commonly known "a the doctrine Of the
Apostolical succession. But while the Anglican
Church regards the orders OF the Greek and
Roman churches as valid. and does not. there
fore. reordain priests coming 10 It from these
churches. the Roman Church regards Anglican
orders as invalid. and the Greek Church has
thus far refused 10 acknowledge their validity
though 1t has not formally pronounced against
them. The famous Nays Head Tavern story OF
Archbishop Parkers conservation is an impor
tant element in the ease. Ii is alleged that In
the first year Of Queen Elizabeths reign fourteen
bishops vacated their sees. leaving only one
Protestant bishop. Kitchin. Of Llandaff As he
refused to Officate AT Parkers conservation, the
Protestant divlnes procured the services of one
Scory. n deprived bishop. who performed the
ceremony in the Mays Head Tavern. In Cheap

II was not heard OF until forty years after
Parker's conservation. and II Is discredted by
Lingard. the Catholic historian. Parker was

Palace. and four bishops ofiiclated at the cere-

boy ORATOR" AND MILL-BOT.

In his tran-end address at Ashland, Va, on
Friday the Boy Orator of the Platte was struck
by the coincidence that the county was the birth
place of Henry Clay. 1.-THE MlBoy Of the
Slashes.' and also that the policy for which the
Popocracy stands in some respect revived that
statesman's memory. Precisely why this Free
Trade Popocracy should revive the memory Of
the statesman who might almost be said TO have
been the Father Of the Protective System, we
do not clearly see, unless, indeed. the b. o. Of
the p meant that the goings-on of the present
generation of Free Traders were liable TO make
Henry Clay rise out of his grave in protest. That
would revive his memory in very decided way.
The modest suggestion that his own title Of
"Boy Orator of the Platte recalls that Of the
"Mill-Boy of the Slashes' Is not entirely with
out meaning, the resemblance between the two
being traceable to the fact that one was mill
boy and the other boy orator-bOth boys.
But, after all, there's good deal In it that re-
calls the famous cOnundrum, what town in
New-York is like the promised land?" The an
swer was "Canlndagua," and when the hearers
failed to see the resemblance the authors ex-
PLANTATION was: why, you call 1t Canaan
daigua and then You leave off the 'daigua.'"

During the coming week the centre of European
diplomacy will be located at Balmoral. Il descrip-

grandchildren. the Car and Czarna of Russia
Much will depend upon the degree of success
achieved by the aged British sovereign In con
vinclng the young Emperor that England's att
ude with regard to Turkish affairs is sincere and
disinterested. England has for so many years
championed the cause Of the Porte against Rus
STA and those other European Powers that sought
to force the Sultan to reform that the Continental
Governments view with suspicious eye her
change Of front So much so. indeed that. as
pointed out in to-day's cable dispatch of our Lon
don correspondent. England's dispatch Of her

war If only Queen Victoria can reassure the
Car that England has no negro in her wood
pile. and that her sole aim is to put an end TO
Turkish barbarity. all further obstacles on the
part OF the Great Powers to the appearance OF
the British fleet under the walls Of CONSTANT

his senses Indeed there is some reason to hope
that the presence Of the Car at Balmoral during
the coming week may result in the removal of

much-vaunted nineteenth century civilization of
Europe-namely. the liberation Of the Turk with
