Minister Terrell.

Is IL true that the Hon. ALEXANDER W.
TERRELL Of Texas uses language at o
etantinople and elsewhere in the Levant
which some of the good missionary breth-
rem do not quite approved
This sounds very bad, but 10 occurs to us
that IL the Hon. ALEXANDER w. TERRELL Of
Texas had used upon occasions at Constan-
tinople and elsewhere in the Levant Ian
guage less strong, 1t might have been worse
for some Of the missionary brethren.
No nation has been more vigorously rep
resented near the Sultan since the Arme-
nian disturbances began than the United
States. The Texan gentleman may not
always have spoken sudrtter In modo. He
has certainly acted foTttter In re.
And the good American missionaries in
Turkey. as far as Is known, are all alive.

Take Me on Trusti

In view Of the fact that very little was
known about the Hon. WILLIAM MCKINLEY,
Jr., before 1890, and that what has been
learned since has not revealed him as a man
of gigantic or even more than ordinary in
tellectual proportions. the insistence of his
passionate supporters that his party and
the country shall accept him ignorantly and
implicitly as sure to be right and conserva-
tive in his financial opinions is more than
preposterous; it is %impudent. Against his
own record of vacillation and the more than
strong suspicion Of Observation-Disclosures
caused by it, nothing is pleaded in abate-
ment. Substantially the only answer given
to those who seek to find the exact present
condition of his financial beliefs, IL he has
any. Is "Oh, you must take him as he is.
He is the Peoples Favorite and Prosperity's
Advance Agent. Hei is all right. He stands
on his record. He Is MCKINLEY"
A prudent man wouldn't buy a yellow dog
on as vague Information and as blindly as
a great political party Is asked to take Mr..
MCKINLEY and nominate him for President.
Suppose the man who was trying to sell a
yellow dog should reply to the question sis
his disposition good ?" by saying. "Oh,
you'll hear about that In the course of time;
I'm selling him now on the strength OF his
winning third prize at the dog show of
1894" That would DO no more unsat-
isfactory and no more absurd than are
tho partisans of the Yelled Candidate
of Canton when they say, "Oh, he's
all right on silver, but you must take
him on account of protection. He's won
derful on that, and his financial opinions
may be produced later, when there Is no way
of concealing them any longer, or when they
nave been sufficiently wrapped up not to
hurt. Step up n pay your respects to the
Yelled Candidate. Whatever WILLIAM Nc
KINLEY does is right. Trust him; that's
all; We'll do the rest"
The American people have been privileged
to enjoy the blessings OF a Stuffed Prophet,
Do they pine for a Muzzled Man of Destiny ?

They Helped Him TO Explain How senator
Bracket Made Him Tired.
Up at the Hoffman House the other night.
a member of the Democratic State Committee
told a story of Tim Sullivan's wit that hasn't
seen print before.
AT the recent session Of the Legislature"
said the committeeman. "a good many bills
were Introduced affecting railroads. The As
sembly had a way of passing these bills before
the railroad people knew Of them. so that the
real fight always came in the Senate. One day
Raines and Bracket and u number of other
Senators were trying to have q railroad bill
amended. so that It would have to go hack to
the Assembly and perhaps fail of repassage
before final adjournment. These Senators
argued, however, that their sole desire In In
iecting the amendments was TO make the bill
more sweeping and OF greater advantage to
the dear people.
Senator Bracket. who Is considered one
Of the best railroad attorneys In his part OF the
State. had just made q particularly eloquent
laboring man and sat down mopplng his brow.
Tim Sullivan walked up to him with an air
OF the utmost gravity.
"'You fellows make me tired, he said. I've
got a better claim to be the friend OF the work
inRman than any of you.'
I" 'How's that2' asked Bracket, looking up.
Tim extended his two chubby palms.
" Those hands, he said, have never de-
prived any wnrkingman of his work and by
the grace, Of God and Tammany Hall they
never will"

A Very Nasty Business.

Comptroller FITCH has rendered an i'm
portant service to public morals and public
decency by resisting tho payment of the
Police Departments bills for the ex-
penses incurred by policemen in obtaining
evidence against vice by the practice of vice.
The revelation made in the items of the
vouchers to which he objects Is altogether
shameful.
When PARKHURsr vent about In his noe
turnal prowlings, his expenses for "cir-
cnses" and rounds of drinks" at the
vicious resorts visited by him and his
youthful companion either came out of
his own pocket or were betrayed by the
private society Of which he is still the
President. The public treasury did not
have to pay for the qualification OF
his depraved curiosity. He was not a
public officer, but a private individual.
The public was not in any way responsible
for his unclean conduct; and the approval
of his indecency by the New York Presby-
terry, to which he owed responsibility as
one OF its ordained ministers, affords no
excuse for the Police Departments pro
voking policemen to follow his example.
Even II it were necessary to obtain evi.
dence against vicious establishments by
such methods, the police force itself ought
not to be demoralized and degraded by their
pursuit. That honorable public service
ought not to be thus defled. Vile men out
side OF its ranks could be hired for
the job at the mere cost of pay
ment for their vicious indulgences, SC
that the expense to the Police Depart,
ment of obtaining the evidence would
not be greater than it is now. Doubt,
less PARKHURsT himself would undertake
the job through the young men OF his Vigil
lance League. One Of them lately proposed

Amphitrite, will DO assigned TO the use OF the
Georgia and North Carolina militia during the

tours on war ships, starting, II is said. from
