Mr.. Curzons statement in the House of Com
mons gave opportunity for some able articles
scathingly pointing out that our shlrt-sieeVe

disagreement of the two Governments about the

II is too bad to spoil good Sunday-school lessons
by letting wickedness prosper
After long waiting the colleges entitled to the
Fayerweather money are getting their due They
have the satisfaction Of knowing that the In
tcrest on the estate while in litigation more than
maid the lawyers fees, and they get more than
they would have had from a prompt division.

That wicked Mckinley has done pretty well
with the Civil Service, in spite OF all the Mug
wuup explosions at half-cock. but now 1t seems
he is debauching the Army! young officer
has actually been assigned to the regiment he
wanted to join. instead OF one he might not
wish to serve in because an influential friend
brought his desire to the Secretary's attention.!
It Is not said he was not fit for the place. or
that anybody else had better right to It, The
awful thing Is that the Secretary dared to ex-
ercise ordinary human good-nature and give
his subordinate grateful work. The critics
would have been better pleased II he had played
the martinez. and put this young man in a
branch of the service he didn't like, and as
signed to that place some officer who preferred
to be somewhere else. Spartan virtue consists
In being disagreeable

When the agent calls-a mild hammered young
man named Mealy-he conveys the impression
in some cases, perhaps all. that The New-York
Tribune IL one Of the sponsors Of the so-called
"New-York Newspaper Syndicate" The Trib-
une has had occasion before to call attention
TO the fact that Mr.. Mealy is using The Trib-
une's name without authority. The Tribune is
not connected with the New-York Newspaper
Syndicate in any way. Inquiry at the offices OF
all the other principal newspapers In New-York
City yesterday failed to reveal single one
| which Is connected with the alleged Syndicate.
The public are warned against any agent who
asserts that any OF them are.
Ex-Secretary Carlisle Is much disturbed lest
under the present Administration the country

getting better.

infests nearly every orchard In the peninsuls
