Did the job Himself.

It is related of the late Due d'Aumale
that lack of decision is illustrated by
the following incident: When abous to
enter a room at a reception in 1873 he
was asked by the usher what narae
should be announced. Gen. lie Due
d'Aumale," he answered; and then, sud
denly changing his mind. he said: "No;
announce his royal highness, Due
d'Aumale." But, not feeling satisfied
with this, he said: Say merely Due
d'Aumale." Finally he said: Say moth
ing" and walked in unannounced.-N

AN APPEAL FOR FREEDOM.

for anci Aid.

for Financial Aid.
The Cuban league of New York,
whose president is Ethan Allen, and
vice presidents such men of national
reputation and honor as Chauncey NJ.
Depew. Roswell P. Flower, etc, has is
sued the following appeal asking for
financial aid in IT'S patriotic efforts in
behalf of struggling Cuba:
TO the People "a the United States:
A brave and generous people will aid
the oppressed. Cuba is under a brutal
tyranny. Inspired by our history she
freely bleeds for independence, and ap-
peals to US for help. We must hear.
and hearing. promptly act. An ire
pressible conflict between republican
ism and monarchy was ~inaugurated by
Washington and his compatriots. and
as trustees Of the great political inner
itance from them we must be in that
conflict whether We will or not, when
ever any intelligent people fires the
opening gun for freedom. BY an I'M
paralleled career of courage and sacri-
flee the Cubans have proved their right
to self-government. Our people, to
keep u~ntarnished the heroic crown of
our fathers. which our government at
Washington for three years has failed
to do, u extend material support to
the embattled heroes on Cuban soil.
The passive policy of this administra-
ton. in emulation of the last. still re-
pressed the nobler impulses of our peo-
pie, while foul murder continues. To
give o is more than to fight. He who
supplies the weapon is brother in
achievement to him who wields it.
"a plan for small subscriptions at
local points, deposited there with
banks or business firms, reaches all.
Let those who will serve send addresses
of themselves and bank to the Red,
White and Blue League, New York.

Worms on Rose Bushes.

An Indiana subscriber asks how to
kill worms on rose bushes. We know of
no better plan than to spray the bushes
with a decoction of tobacco or a soiu-
ton of cobalt. If sheets of white pa
per are laid around the bushes n
these are shaken by being struck nDou
the stalk with a stick. most of the
troublesome worms will fall off, and can
thus be utterly and quickly destroyed

otherwise Anarchy would ravage the
country; fire and sword in the hands

people who do not deserve such a rate. Y
All of this Is undoubtedly true In large
degree. as may be inferred from pre-
vious attempts and from the fact that
Turkish troops now on the island are
forced to secure their sustenance from
raiding and -looting of property. Crete
should have gone to Greece when the
formers provinces were enfranchised
and would but for the intervention of
the powers. The insuperable barrier
to these reasonable requests is the greed
of the powers. wishing to obtain an un-
due share in the Acknowledgement of Tur-
key. and of the bankers who bought
for song Turkish bonds to the
amount of a billion dollars and have
greatly enhanced their value. For
these reasons Turkey and Greece will
not be allowed to engage in general
warfare unless by some mischance or

VOICES OF the PRESS.
The Senatorial Vacancies.
philadelphia Times.)

There are three vacancies in the new
United States Senate. The legislatures
of Oregon and Kentucky, after pro-
tracted contests. adjourned finally
without succeeding In clectine a sena-
tor. and the Florida Legislature does
rot meet until April. The last Legisla-
ture Of Florida should have chosen a
United States senator, as the act Of
Congress provides that the Legislature
Immediately preceding the meeting OF
the new Congress shall perform that
duty.
Governor Bradley of Kentucky. has
appointed Major A. r. Wood to serve in
the United State Senate until the Legis-
lature shall elect his successor. Gov
ernor Lord of Oregon, has appointed
Ex-senator II. w. corbett to fill the
vacancy from that state. and Governor
Hloxham of Florida, has appointed
John a. Henderson. The senators
Eamed by the governors of Oregon and
Kentucky are Republicans. and Hen
derson of Florida is Democrat. II
these appointees shall be admitted to
the Senate the Republicans would have
net gain of one.
1t is doubtful whether the Senate will
admit the claimants appointed by the
governors of their respective states.
Several like vacancies occurred four
years ago. when appointments were
made by the governors. but the Senate
refused them admission. There may be
some changed conditions to justify or ex-
cuse the Senate in admitting the men
| recently appointed. but 1t is obvious tina

ago was intended to cover just such APP
plications as are now about to be made
for admission.
| Each state is fairly entitled to repre-
sentation in the Senate. and as the ac-
tual vacancies in these cases have &C.
| cured when the legislatures of the
several states We're not in session, and
| therefore could not choose United States
| senators without being called into ex-
ira session, there seems to be no good
reason why the three men appointed
by the governors of Florida. Kentucky
and Oregon should NOT be admitted
| even If it should to some extent. or &c
any extent be reversal of the judg-
ment of the body four years ago.
II is of vital Importance that every
state should have a full representation
in the extra session of Congress. ail6
have it's full voice in shaping the legis-
lative action that is to define the policy

years to come. Every consideration Of
justice. as well as of public policy
would seem to demand the admission
