Mr.. SeyElour's treatment OF his subject
showed thorough staly. ard while It's two
hours of rapid delivery hardly AFFORDED the
same scope for ei5cutioaary effect SHOWN
in some of his other lectures. II aoounded
In valuable Information and was altogether
an attractive presentation Of an attractive
subject
The lecturer gave a panoramic glimpse
or two of Japanese scenery. with is tracts
OF level land. its towering mountains. its
volcanoes. its gorges. It's streams, its sea-
shore, its cities and villages, and above all
OF It's flowers. of which his description was
entrancingiy beautiful some of his phrases
being as pretty as the cherry flowers which
he said were like ~snowfiakes tinged with
the pink of dawn
The most valuable, as wei as the most
interesting part OF hrs lecture was that
which dealt with the manners and Gus
toms OF these ancient-inodern japanese;
their shoes. their clothing. their bead
ing. their furniture and homework. their
weddings and funerals. In describing their
great neatness of person and premises. he
made fling at American untidiness.

The lecture contained an interesting ac-
count of the two great religions of japan,
snd a beautiful description of the great
/ feast OF the dead. This naturally led TO
some statement of Japanese superstitions,

turer glided into an account of childhood
in japan and the relatively important
part which it plays among the people His
thorough and detailed statement of thu
training of children was a natural step
ping stone to nlgn trlhute 10 the pro-
verbal politeness of the Japanese, which
he thinks is the result of heredity as Well
as of careful training.
The entire lecture was intersperSed with
bright thought, touched here and there
with a racy anecdote, and anon strength
ened by some terse or well-rounded Pc
riod or an apt poetic qLota1ion. 1t closed
with caution to Americans that We have
yet many things to learn from the Jap

from US.

OUR WHITE SQUADRON

Baron Hirsch is dead and the Roth
schilds have long since ceased discuss
ing the scheme, but another has arisen
who proposes to repossess the Holy
Land for Gods chosen people. The
author of this latter day scheme for re-
establishing a Jewish nation in Pales-
tine asks for fund Of $100,OOO.OOO for
that purpose. He evidently will be
compelled to go down to Buzzard's
Bay and get up bond deal with Cleve-
land and his syndicate. We don't know
Of anybody else who would be equal to
such deal. His proposal is to buy out
all the Turkish rights in that portion Of
the Holy Land for which Moses indi-
Gated the boundaries. The re-colOniza-
ton would thus be In the original
Promised Land 1t is almost certain
that the needed funds will never be
subscribed; but it may be stated, as
peculiar fact only recently discovered,
that all the land on which ancient
Babylon once stood, where the Jews
were held in exile, where Daniel was
thrown into the lions den, and where
the Hebrew children" were cast into
the fiery furnace. has fallen by pur-
chase into the hands Of two Jews. Such
is the irony, or vengeance, of history.

IUCETTE

She was artless and was child:
The birds sang sweetly then.
/ longed to roam the frontier wild,
And. at last, come back again.
The robins twittered their songs Of love,
And the breeze was soft and sweet;
And all was fair in the sky above,
And the violetS kissed her feet.
We parted. and the sweet Lucette;
Her eyes were dim with tears;
We parted where We first had met,
To drift with the rolling years.
1 roamed the world. wide. wide and cold;
sailed the stormy main.
But the birds ne'er sang as they sang
of old,
Back there in the quiet hna
And the sky was never es blue as when
left the gentle mad.
Nor the breeze as soft as the breeze that
With her waving tresses played.
In after years went once more
To muse Ii the quiet lane
Twas changed! Where violets grew before
Weeds held unbridled reign.
The robins had ceased to sing of love:
The wind blew damp and cold.
And re clouds were thicker and darker
above
Than in the days OF old.
And as thought of the sweet Lucette,
The child with the angel face,
My heart wVas filled with vain regret,
And turned to leave the place.
But. as turned. a matron stood
Beside me in the lane
Jucette, with the cares OF motherhood,
On her brow the lines OF pain.
The threatening clouds. for moment.
spread,
The fierce wind died away,
And a wondering robin overhead
Sang gladstone roundelay.
Lucette gave way to tremulous signs,
And to vain regret;
And tears were IN her deep. dark eyes,
As we parted where first we'd met.
Ali, there's lane In my memory, still
Where a maid and I oft meet,
And the breeze blows softly from over the
hill.
And the violets kiss her feet.

GRAVEYARD ROBBERY.

There is a want Of candor among
Popocratic speakers, the better name
of which would be downright coward
ice. 1t is bad enough to build on as
sumption and ignore facts, but it is
worse to diStort the truth. This they
do every day by stating half truth and
by cutting out such matter as may
damage their cause, and using that
which goes to establish their position.
The garbled extracts from Blaine's
speeches are cases in point. There is
not an Intelligent Popocrat in the coun-
try who does not know that, while Mr..
Blaine was in favor Of the largest pos
sible use of silver, he was the last man
to lend himself TO any sort of fiat lun-
acy, or to the coinage and use of silver
on any other basis than that upon
which parity of the two metals could
be maintained beyond all possible
doubt Granting, as they say, that he
was friend of silver, he was none
the less a friend of gold. He believed
in the money functions of both metals,
but that is no proofo that he upheld a
DECEASED currency. He would have de-
nounced fat gold as readily as fat sill
yer or paper promises to pay, and these
ranting orators know it as well as other
people. The career of James G.. Blaine
is still fresh in the minds of the reading
public. His record Is made, and will
pass into history as one Of the ablest
and most consistent in American
craftsmanship. This record appeals
TO the wisdom and fairness Of all vot-
erS viii. greater force than all the
cheap oratory of all the spouting speak
ers in the Democratic or Popocratic
field. Hbsine knew his own mind. and
had . way Of expressing it so that
child could understand him. There is
no excuse for such garbled versions OF
his position on this or any other issue.
Il is not only wiIlful peryerSion OF
his views, but an act Of ghoulish rob
bery-extor1ing from his cold lips state
menTs which he never made. and filch-
ing from his public addresses theories
and doctrines which he would de-
nounce in positive terms could he but
speak from the tomb. II they expect
TO make votes by this kind of plagiar-
ism, and this garbling of dead mans
words they Will NOT only fail. but bring
contempt upon their own heads.

No more coffee shall be gathered,
neither shall any more sugar cane be
ground in Cuba That is the latest de-
cree of Captain General Weyler. The
object of this hard measure is to pre-
vent the insurgents from deriving rev.
enue from the planters who have been
in the habit Of paying the representa-
tives Of the provisional government a
tax as a consideration for permission
to gather their crops and to insure
them against destruction by the torches
of the insurrectionists. IT the planters
shall tamely submit to this lates out
rage upon their inalienable right to live
off the fruit Of their toll they must be
men of putty. Far less tyrannical were
the DEGREES of the government Of
George III, which set the American COL
onies afiame from end to end
