The Baltimore Bonaparte.

It is not likely that MT. Charlss J. Bon-
 aparte will succeed Senator German. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat brings out
 the following irbzpesting points about the arfstocratic Marylander:
 "Senaltcr Bonaparter The prese nee of the grand nephew of the great Napoleon in the American senate upon the ap-
 preaching centennial of the Louisiana purchase would be interesting. The sight of Banopar'te walking down the
 middle aisle of the senate chamber on the arm of a Wellington, the one to take
 the oath as the colleague of the other.
 would inspire historical "reminiscences. But Senator Bonaparte" he is not likely to be, according to present light. The form of the man to realize on the results of the republican victory in Maryland is not yet diS;inguishable among many candidates. MT. Bonaparte will be one of the conspicuous. He is lawyer in Baltimore has a large income from well invested wealth, and belongs to that strong reform tendency sn Maryland pol itics to which Corr an owes his defeat. While a republican and a contributor to republican success in a financial way, MT. Bonaparte has been one of the fore most advocates of civil service reform. Curing the recent campaign when there seemed to be demoralizatlon in the re- publican management an appeal was made to leading republicans for financial support. MT. Bonaparteis check was the largest received. That was at time
 when republican success did not seem encouraging.
 "Souphouse Charley" MT. Bonaparte Is called in the expressive and inelegant
 nomenclature of the practical politics of Maryland. When the stranger is told
 in one breath that "Souphouse Charley" is too much of an aIistocrat to be a
 United States senator from Maryland,
 he is mystified. Some years ago MT. Bcnaparte made @ speech, standing
 upon his usual high level of reform. Tn the course of his remarks, he took rad
 ical grounds against paIteTnalism in gov- ernment. He went so far as to crlticise free education. He said the principle underlying the public school system was | not far from that which prompts the es- tablishment of the somphouse. For that speech he was dubbed "Souphouse Char | ley" Att least, that is one of the tra- ditions of Maryland politics.
 The mere fact that candidate is the granddaughter of an emperor is enough to defeat him in any American state, but MT. Bonaparte has made matters worse
The age-herald., 1897-11-24

by his remarks about pubic sshools@Af- ter a man has attacked free educeitien, and earDed fcr himself the rather con temptuous nickname of "souphouse Charley" his case is hops less.
 The most eminent ability is badly han dlcappsd when its posssssor is supposed to be an aristocrat and is made an ob- ject of ridicule by the massese It istnot so easy to point out the man who will take Germans seat. Maryland has sev- eral able republicans who would fill the place fairly well, but factional divisions and personal jsalousies make 1t difficult for the party to ilarmoniously unite upon a good man.
 The bitterness and strife growing out of the senatorial matter may do the Maryland republicans more damage than anything that has occurred in a long time.

Socialists Will Like This.

very unwise experiment is thus fore shadowed in the Philadelphia North American:
 There is now being discussed among certain determined body of city legisla- tors a plan which If it succeeds, will have the effect of establishing in the city hall a big department store, to ba run by the city. The new venture is to be known as the department of general supplies and will have charge of purchasing and furnishing all articles required in the va rious municipal bureaus. The matter has been discussed for some time, and may be submitted in tangible shaps' at the next meeting of the finance committee. It is declared that the city will be en- abled by means of this department to save thousands of dollars annually The plan in effect is to do away with the pronliscous changing in the item of gem eral supplies, entailing big expenses year 1y cm the city. There will be an btem covering all these expensss and goods will be bought by wholesale by the city Itself. A close record will be kept and the city will reap the bsnafit between the wholesale and retail prices.
 Practically. this is nothing more nor less than a municipal department store. It will compete with individual enter prise, and will make new offices and clerkships for ward politicians, if it is given a trial.
 The people of Philadelphia will make a serious mistake if they turn their city into socialistic machine. The pro- posed department store for nun cipal supplies would be a precedent which would cause the socialists to demand factories and other enterprises operated by the city government. Instead of these governmental monopoliss, what is needed is individual competition and plenty of it.

Uncle Sam's Weakness.

Last week Austria, upon twenty-four hours notice, forced Turkey to pay an in demnHty of s1,5OO,OOO make an apology and salute the Austrian flag. Turkey owes the United States over $1 .000,oO0 for the ill-treatment of American citiz but thrs government has waited two years for the money.
 This country has presented it's bill, but Turkey has done nothing. American methods are weak and cowardly in deal ing with foreign nations and this fact is we'll understood. The Turkish govern ment knows that it can laugh at the claims of the United States for damages. But when the creditor Is Austria or Rus sia the case is different. Those powers have a very vigorous way of collecting debts.
 A fleet of war ships demand for settlement in twenty-four hours, and the money is forthcoming. This republic, with its peaceful policy, is tagging far b shrnd the other nations, and generally gets the worst of it.

Cable Car Repartae

From the New York Sun.
 A crowded cable car with a smart con ductor bowled up Broadway. Among the passengers was a pert young man who sandwiched himself in a seat and held a newspaper spread out at arms length in front of him. The fly conductor walked through the car. Suddenly snatching the newspaper from in front of the. young man, the fly conductor said in a tone that was heard all over the car:.
 Say, did I get your fare?"
 The pert young man gazed at the con- ductor and in an equally loud tone re- plied::
 "Bet your life you did, but I haven't heard you ring it up yet"
 The conductor released his hold on the newspaper and shuffled out to his post on the back platform amid the laughter of the passengers, while the pert young man continued to read his newspaper without ever cracking a smile. few moments later the ring of the register broke the silence and the passengers laughed again.

BIanc0's Policy.

Gen. Blanco is shrewder than Weyler. He believes that bribes will accomplish more than bayonets, and be cheaper in the end. Tn the past. more than one revolutionary leader in Cuba has been bought. Geld and official station have caused Cubans to turn against their people before, and they may have the same effect now.
 Nothing is more demoralizing-not alarms a Spanish-Ameu'ican party or army more than the knowledge that hon. CTS and riches Will be heaped upon Gheir leaders if they will dessrt their cause Under such conditions there is always distrust. It is a great temptation to a ragged Cuban general who sees starva- tion and worse staring himself and fam enjoy wealh and safety fer himself and his loved ones.
 Even as brave a man as Benedict Ar mold turned traitor for British gold and position, and it would not be strange ito find Cuban leaders equally unprinci- pied. It is doubtless time that some of the insurgents are men of spotless in- tegri y. but it s also rrobabie that among them are some careless soldiers of for tune who really do not care much which flag they fight under.
 From this class the danger comes Spain could better afford to spend several million dollars in bribsS than to ppo- long the war This Is a self-evident proposition, and it goes without saying that such a large sum of money would buy a good many insurgents who have eady come to the conclusion that they are not getting much fun out of the present state of affairs.

Carlyle on Shakespeare

Thomas Carlyle.
 The latest generations of men will find new meanings in Shakespeare, new calculations of their own human being 'nsw hlarmonies with the infinite struc- ture of the universe; coneurre nces with later ideas, affinlties with the higher powers and senses of man." This we'll deserves meditating. It is natures high est reward to a true simple great soul, that he gets thus to be a part of herself. Such a mans works, whatsoever he with utmost conscious exert.on and fore thought shall accomplish, grow up withal unconsciously, from the unknown deeps in hlm-as the oak tree grows from the eatth'sl bosom, as the mountains and waters shape themselves with a sym metry grounded on natures own laws, comfortable to all Truth whatsoever. How much in Shakespeare Hes hid; his sorows, his silent struggles known to himself! Much that was not known at all not speaEable at all; like roots, like sap and forces working underground. Speech is great; but silence is greater.

The NeqrO's Advancement.

The article printed in yesterdays Age Herald from Booker T. Washington on ths advancement of the negro race in Alabama is the most complete short analysis of fhe position of the negro in the South perhaps ever given to the public
 Washington is himself of that race. He is the president and principal in structor of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute He is emfnen ntly practical and he presents the position of the negro in ths South in a clear and forcible manner. Washington has done more than any other member of his race to make the negro a good, indus trious and respected citiz:n. Had Wash ington, twenty-five years ago, occupied the mental ar51 nDcral position which he does today. the condition of the negro in the South would be ssveral hundred per cent better than it is. He aptly says that the negro "has perhaps made more progress in unlearning some things that he thought hs knew. He has learned that the highest position must be reach- ed by gradual steps. rather than by leaps and bounds"
 Then he ad1s:
 Naturally, after the war. the negro, being lsd in too many cases by dema- gogues and intoxicated by his new found freedom, made politics the goaa of his ambition. For a while most everything else was host sight of. The negro has Iearnsd, in large measure. that this was beginning at tine top instead Of the bottom. He is learning that in the long run, intelligence property, ard chaGac- ter control whether the partiss concern ed be black or white. They are learning that in the present condition of the race that education and propsrty are worth more to the masses than the mere prom ise of political office"
 The Age Herald believes that this man is doing a great work for his ract. It commends him in it. His article should be read by every thinking man in this country It is practical, sensible and concise.

From John L. stoddard's Lecture on Norway.
 But to me ths most interesting sight in Bergen was the grave of the Norwegian viollnst, Ole Bull. His last appearance in America was in 1S79-too long ago, perhaps, for many to recollect h.m-for, alasl even those who entertain the pub hc best are soon forgotten. But some of my readers rscall that Pagaini of the north, tall and erect, with large blue eyes and fiaxsn hahr-the personifica. ion of valiant NorseTnan, whose fire and magnetism in this nineteenth century displayed themselves in music rather than in maritime adventure.
