Capitalization of Power Resisted.

During all these years the Democratic
party has resisted tho tendency of selfish in.

"REMINISCENCES OF CANNING.

Some Of Mr.. Cannins's 'fads" I well
remember. For instance. he knew the
French language we'll. but nothing
could induce him to pronounce it
properly; he pronounced all the words
as if they were English. I know not
what reason he gave for this. or
whether he gave any. 1t was his way
and he would not alter it. He had also
some queer ideas about spelling. He
was greatly averse to the letter f, and
I have seen notes to my father in
which the word fat was spelled "phat''
and other words in a similar manner.
He asserted that this was the correct
method Of spelling.

Canning's dress. I well remember how
he was attired one evening in the

ITO the President Of the United States
of America:
I'VE. the bishops Of the Protestant
Episcopal church in the United States
OF America. beg most earnestly and
respectfully to address you, the chief
magistrate of the nation. in regard to
the massacre Of our fellow Christians
in Armenia. The extent Of these mas
sacres is not fully known, but enough
is known to reveal the horror Of the
situation and to call for the indignant
protest of all civilized and Christian
people. 1t is estimated by those well
acquainted with the facts that not
less than $4,000 Of our fellow Chris
ttans are now suffering, and are in
danger OF perishing in consequence of
the massaores in Asiatic Turkey, and
that at least $4,000 have been already
murdered. In Trebizond and Erzer-
cum. in the provinces Of Bitlis, Van

country should not be allowed to stihe

stimulate them. It is g case which
especially appeals to Us as metn and
Americans. AS citizens Of this republic,

national action in this matter of
foreign persecution whose details are
too horrible to depict or enumerate. We
sincerely trust that some measure or
measures consistent with the national
traditions and the national dignity may
be devised. and that speedily. which
shall bring the whole force OF the ma

HARNESS HORSE HISTORY OF Asos

Eleven years ago but two horses had
trotted or paced in 2:1O. The fastest
was, of course, a PAGER, for Johnston
had mark of 2:06A and the only rrot-
ter was Jay Eye See, with fat record
Of 2:10. There are now forty-six trot-
ters and lot PAGERS that have a place
in the inner ring, and still the PAGER is
in the lead. OF the pacing lot fifty
were new to the list the past season,
and of the horses that had marks of
2:10 or better at the opening of the
year reductions are only accredited to
Strawberry. Directly. Paul, Rubin
stein, Moonstone and Coleridge. This
would seem as if the fast PAGER is a
bad purchase. if training one is to be
criterion. There were only thirteen
new trotters to make their appearance
in the table this season. Azote trotted
the fastest mile of the season, 2:04&.
and of the forty-six that have records
inside 2:10, but four have beaten 2:06.
There are fifteen PAGERS that have done
as well as that, and eleven Of these
have been better than 300.
