Some weeks ago it was stated in the pub
lie prints that Miss Josephine Drexel of
Philadelphia would renounce the world and
enter a convent. The story was promptly
denied; nevertheless the young lady has
since been overwhelmed with letters from
numerous persons who would be willing to
burden themselves with any part or all OF
the fortune of 100000 which she would
relnquish ard have no further use for in
case she took tie veH Of a nun

Less than one-third of The United States
Senators, according 10 the figures of the
New York World, are worth more than
800, 100 100. For many years the Senate has
been known as the millionaires' club" If
the Wo.lds figures are right, it deserves
the title now more than ever.

Roberts of Utah was elected last Novem-
Der, and drew his pay right along up 90
and including the payday next preceding
the beginning of the present sitting of
Congress. 1t thus appears that. whatever
may be his disabilities in the matter of
holding a seat in the House, he has been
able to draw 5000 from the treasury Of the
United States Is not the election TOO far
removed from the sitting of Congress?

Roberts OF Utah has the moral sentiment
OF the country against him; nevertheless
it is impossible to escape the conviction
that had he been Republican instead Of
a Democrat he would have been dealt
with much more leniently by the majority

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post Dem) has this
quotation and comment: Secretary
Roots suggestion that a reduction be made
in the next appropriation for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors' SAYS the Phil
adelphia Record, is a good one. Too
much money is wasted in improvements
thar are not practical But no reduction
i'm the appropriation should be made which
would deprive Philadelphia of the means
of securing better access to the sea. The
Delaware channel must be deepened.' And
the same of Charleston. Also Savannah's
papers will set up a like plea for the
Georgia port And there are Richmond
and Brunswick and Mobile and Baltimore
and New York. Probably the ports had
better join in antagonizing Secretary
Roots economic views in bulk, rather than
opposing them piecemeal, as each is sure
to do by pushing forward its own claims
to favor"
The Columbia Is. c. State Dem) thus
quotes and comments: Lord Wolseley
used to criticise the United States govern
ment severely because it did not crush the
Southern Confederacy sooner. His lord
ship is already behind time in crushing the
Beers, ne was in relieving Gordon.
And before he gets through he may have
a less severe view of the work Abraham
publican. That was a pretty tough propo-
siton Abe went UP against, wasn't it?
People contending for local self-govern-
ment generally fight hard and long. And
so it is with the Beers The Southern
Confederacy,' or what is left of it, can
and does sympathize with them in their
hopeless war against a stronger power"
Victor Smith, writing in the New York
Press saws. ''There is more living about
this years cotton crop than one can shake
stick at. 1t reminds me of RockefeIler's
wealth. He said that he was unable to
guess within a few millions of it. The diff
ference In cotton estimates is about S000,-

amount of money involved is only about
$95 100000 Honest men in the business

own axes to grind"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says of
the Presidents message: 1T is a soothing
document with no irritating touch upon
any sore subject of political controversy.
