DANGER OF SOClABlLlTY.
Speaker Reed Compelled to Suppress His

There is little encouragement for q
man prominent In public life to relax
his dignity and become sociable, says q
writer in the Washington Star. Speake,
Reed has been growing constantly lesl
sociable as he has grown more powerful
In public affairs. He is naturally friend
,ly, but II he yields to disposition tc
.he sociable some one at once takes ad-
vantage of il. The other day two OF
shree members of the house were stand
ing in the lobby before the house met.
aud the speaker. coming along. stopped
to join in the conversation. He had a
smile of easy going Incidence on his face
and appeared to be in most amiable
and jocular mood. The conversation
started out with little bantering ON
both sides, and in minute the speakers .
face was beaming with good nature.
Meanwhile an old woman who Is some
thing of an habitue OF the capitol, was
standing at distance watching him.
As his smile broadened and his good
nature became more apparent she edged
inch by inch closer to him, fawning
smile developing ON her face, as II in
reflection of his mood. His back was
half turned toward her, and he did not
see her approach. just as he had burst
forth in characteristic, hearty laugh
the old woman made a final slide and
touched his elbow.
"Good morning, Mr.. Speaker, she
said.
The speakers laugh was cut in two
across the middle. With courteous
bow and an expression of dignified
kindliness on his face he accepted her
extended hand and said, GOOD morn
ing. madam" With O deprecatory
smile she sidled closer to him.

(which I am very anxious to get
through / hope you are going to ap-
point your committees soon, so that it
can be reported. You know about il"
"Oh. yes; I know about it, replied
the speaker, look of weariness and
pain spreading over his face. "There is
no danger of my forgetting it."
Back of the old woman were several
other petitioners creeping up to ambush
the speakers good humor. With an ex-
preston of painful resignation to fate
he turned and walked away. He did
not stop to join any other Of the chat
ting groups of statesmen. and the smile
did hot come back on his face for
long while.

THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY.

From Peking to ondon In Less Than Hall

The directors of the Great Siberian
railway are already figuring OH q time

journey will occupy less than Is days,
as follows: Train. four hours from Lon

80 kilometers an hour; Warsaw to Ba-

than the west European systems: From
Batrcki to TcheliabMsk, where the new
Siberian line actually commences, 1, 1877

A Norwegian newspaper reports an
interview with Ibsen by Jules Claretie,
In which both are said to have made
some curious remarks. M. Claretie is
said to have declared that Alexandra
Dumas left play showing markedly
the influence Of Ibsen, at which he
worked for ten years, aiming to recon
cile his own dramatic method with ID
sens; that the work is a masterpiece,
but the last scenes are unfortunately
lacking, and that nevertheless he, Ola
retie, hoped to produce it at the Theatre
Francois, II the Dumas heirs would per.
NIT it. He added, according to the Nor
wegian reporter, that he hoped to bring
out some Of the plays Of Ibsen at the
great French playhouse, whereupon the
Norwegian dramatist made the unex.
pected reply that IL was scarcely pleas.
ant for him to see his plays produced,
because they were generally represented
in form different from that in which
he had conceived them. Finally Mr..
Claretie extended an invitation to Ibseu
to visit Paris, assuring him that he
would be received with great distinc.

the regulars who could be spared. Thous-
ands OF the National Guard would NO
doubt volunteer for service; but, after all,
II they were added to the regulars, the
total would be small compared with the
army OF professional soldiers which Spain
now has under arms In Cuba"
Gen. Howard quotes with approval from
the Service Gazette: "war-trained troops,
men who have looked upop slaughter and
death upon the gigantic scale Of the mod
ern struggle, no longer exist; and the
peace trained conscript has no knowledge
to correct his fear. Tho machinery Of
battle has progressed till the possibilities
of our modern weapons are appalling.
Torpedoes, monster guns, high explosives,
the swift arLritrament OF the ram at sea
on land, quick firing guns using the dead
ly shrapnel are almost untried irnple-
me ats. = The future battle will be
a severer trial to the nerves than any past
encounter" Near the beginning of his
article Gen. Howard delivers an opinion
which perhaps would have more force as a
sentence. Coming from sol
dier who is noted for his devoutness, 1t Is
significant. "It Is not wise" he says, ''to
tell our children that public defence by
arms is always intrinsically wrong. 1t is
not right to tell them that the world has
so advanced in peace sentiment that cities
and States are now safe without guards,
that absolute reliance can be placed upon
peaceful diplomacy for the settlement of
all conflicts likely to arise."

HOWARD ON THE ARMY,

Several years ago Maj. Gen. o. o. How.
ard, in the course Of his duties as depart
ment commander, made report in which
he advocated an increase of the army, and
he was then denounced by workingmen's
organizations for trying to foist militarism
on the country. In his "a Plea for the
Army" to which reference has recently
been made in this column, he contends
that he was misunderstood.
"What favor" he says, sis only rea-
sonable nucleus of an army-an educated
staff, commissioned and non-commis-
stoned, together with q number of trained
soldiers sufficient to handle our guns and
to be rallying point in case of national
peril or of sudden foreign war;" This
nucleus, he thinks, should consist OF
about 1000 men for every State and Terri
tory, which would bring the army up to q
strength of $4,000 men; officers and men
its complement is now 2S,23S. Apparently
Gen. Howard Is little concerned about the
need of larger army for internal service,
although ne thinks that, what with the
care of forts, posts, armories, arsenals, de-
pots and public property, stan duty with
governors, the inspection of the National
Guard, assignment to military schools and
colleges and occasional riot service, the
regulars are overworked. 1t il to defend
the country from invasion and to fight ita
not improbable wars that Gen. Howard
would make the nucleus larger than It IL,
"With modern arms, ordnance and am
munition, and with modern means of loco
motion and communication, war comes
with suddenness," he says. 1.-THE small
cloud of rumor, the gathering multitudes
are followed quicker than thought by
lightning flashes and the roar of artillery
Austria was beaten helpless In six weeks
by Prussia; France, with all her passion
for glory and the strife Of battle, succumb-
ed to Germany in seven months; and Tur-
key overwhelmed plucky Greece in . few

unprepared for war 90 are the United
States unprepared for war, even with des

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Views of Our Contemporaries on Matters of
General Interest
Boston Herald: New York is boasting
Of young girl who lately died decent
and virtuous death in that city from
starvation, and the point is made that 1t
is q great thing for any community to
have produced such virtue, even If its
possessor did starve to death afterward.
This is Spartan philosophy, though 1t isn't
so pleasing as that of the philosopher who
maintained that it was sweet to die for
ones country, but that it is still sweeter
to live for it.
Haverhill Gazette: Mayor Quincy Of
Boston is q very fortunate man. MWhen n
his enemies find 1t necessary to get to-
gether in midsummer for the purpose of
denouncing what disinterested parties,
even though they opposed him politically,
are compelled to admit is q good admins
tration, 1t is evident that they have weak
cause. The Gazette is no admirer of
Quincy, but in the battle with the revenue
politicians in which he is now engaged he
has its hearty sympathy. Quincy is en-
titled to reelection IL he wants 1t.

Boston Record: There are 1000 men in
the Klondyke mining district. The trip
to the mining fields cost each inan about
$500, including the cost Of the outfit. II
these men worked in American mines at
the ordinary wages they would earn at
least $75O q year apiece. Therefore, the
present population of the Klondyke would
have to earn about s9, Ooo,oO year to get
even. It is not expected that the output
of the district will much exceed 100000,
so there is loss Of q, ,OOO, 900 somewhere.
It generally costs in the long run nearly q
to get out each dollars worth offgold, II
the unsuccessful mining ventures are
counted. Certainly it looks now as II more
money would be lost than gained by the
majority of those who have gone to the
gold fields.
Fall River Globe: Trustee Walker has ex-
ploded again. This time his wrath is Wis
tied on the heads Of those presumptious
members OF the Brown faculty who have
the termity to exercise their right Of free
speech and to question the infallibility Of
Jo and his fellow trustees. From the
tenor of this latest contribution to the
controversy good many people will be
impressed with the conviction that II the
corporation has proper conception of the
situation and OF the fitness of things they
will petition the Rhode Island Legislature
~ soon - possible, to change the name Of
this institution from Brown University tc
Joe Walkers private school. This will
spare the late Mr.. Brown undeserved and
unpleasant notoriety, and rescue that
broad, liberal and comprehensive WORD

Maine Crop Prospects.

Pennington, Me-, June 16.-The con-
stant rains Of the last seven weeks In
this section of the state are seriously
interfering with planting, especially of
sweet corn. vast quantities Of which
are raised In this section. The many
canning factories depend entirely on the
corn crop, and It's heavy failure would
mean heavy financial loss, both to the
farmers and the people who seek en-
rloyment putting up the succuient
grain. The potato crop as well, another
important agricultural item in central
and northern Maine, is equally dubious.
On the other hand the hay crop will be
the heaviest for many years, while the
apple crop, although not as large as last
year, will be better than the average.
