tional politics. And Platt practically
had his way in respect to New York's
convention vote. Mckinley was nomi-
mated on the first ballot; on that bal
lot New York cast seventeen votes for
Mckinley and fifty-five for Morton.
These seventeen votes represented the
constituency which President Mckin-
ley. soon after his Inauguration, vigor-
ously turned down. Its representa-
tives called at the white house They
were sharply lectured, then dismissed,
and Mckinley gave Plat the patron
age.
But, as politics runs, that all hap
pened a long time ago. Things have
changed. and, while Mr.. Plat, who
will have all the say, has not yet been
heard from, it is altogether probable
that what Senator Depew says about
New York next year is what will prove
to he true.

Literary Notes.

owen Wistar will read the Phi Beta
Kappa poem at Harvard this year. He
is the first Philadelphia to do so in 10
or Is years.
President Hazard of Wellesley first
became interested in that college
through Horace Scudder, whom she
met while he, as editor of the Atlantic
articles. He induced her to become a
member of the institutions board of
visitors.
Wellington is doubtless the most
famous English soldier, but Lord Rob-
erts-"Bobs'' has just written a pref
ace for a book on Twelve British Sol
diers,'' in which he assigns the highest
From a moralist's point of VIEW" he
observes, Marlborough was not fault
less, but as general he had few equals
and no superiors."
The pet aversion of Miss Brandon the
novelist, seems to be photographer.
Not long since she was offered the sum
of 500 and a royalty on all copies of
her portrait which were sold but she
absolutely declined to be photographed.
So great is her fear of being 'snap-
shotted" that when she meets a
stranger whom she suspects of photo
graphic designs, she invariably turns
away from him.
Mrs. Margaret Deland, in an essay
in the Independent, on the novel, ex-
presses a common feeling when she
says: 1T is not the subject, but the
way the subject is treated, which set
ties the question of the worth of a
novel: it must be treated with truth,
but truth is not true unless it holds
hope. The reason that I make hope
the flower, as it were, of truth, in class
| flying the novel of value, is that it
seems to me that nobody has right to
make this beautiful puzzling, sad world
any more mournfui than it is for any
| body else. For my part, ! find, as
| grow older, I want the novels l read to

If this utterance is official, it ends in

Thomas B. Reeds presidential aspira-
lions. Mr.. Reed is to become a New
Yorker when he returns from his trip
to the continent. If the Empire state
is not to take up his candidacy, then
it is all up with Reed and the talk
about him as presidential possibility
is fustian. In 1896, New York did not
want to be for McKinley-that is to
say, Boss Plat did not want to let the
state be for him in the nominating con-
vention.

The Bluefields Trouble.

TT is not an easy task to keep pace
with the revolutionary operations
in the Central American region.
American public at all but for the fact
that we feel more or less concern in
regard to the proposed canal, and thus
the late account of what has been go
ing on at Bluefields gets our attention.
Then, too, we are Of course not4hndif-
ferent to American merchants who are
threatened with serious troubles as one
of the results of the latest revolution
airy performances in Nicaragua The
whole subject is brought to renewed
notice in view of ex-Speaker Reeds in
teresting talk about the isthmus canal
project in the May number of the North
American Review.
When the latest revolution in Nicara-
| qua was at it's warmest, a few months
ago, the rebel commander General
| Reyes, captured the city of Bluefields,
took charge of the custom house there
| and collected duties from the American
and English merchants. Reyes was
| soon driven out and, in turn, General
Torres of the Nicaragua army took pos
session of Bluefields. One Of his first
acts was to order the American and the
English merchants to pay the duties to
him, quite in disregard of the pay
ments they had made to the rebel gen.
eral, Reyes.
This demand the merchants refused
to comply with. Consuls representing
the United States and Great Britain
FASTENED away to see President Zelaya
about the matter, but, meanwhile, a
| mob, encouraged by Nicaraguan SOL
diers, made demonstration against
| the stores and the property of the mer-
chants, and the government at Wash
| ington, some time since, ordered the
cruiser Detroit to Bluefields.
President Zelaya is the man who,
with rather suspicious haste, approved
the concession to what is known as the
Grace syndicate for a canal over the
Nicaragua route. He declared void the
| charter of the Maritime company, and
| when our government protested, his
plea was that the Nicaraguan govern
ment had been merged INFO the republic
of Central America ana that all further
| communications touching the canal
must be addressed to the central gov
