There are two other classes to which passing
reference may he made. The one consists Of
cnissarics whom duly constituted governments
employ outside their regular diplomatic service
for special objects. sometimes secret and At other
times only half Acknowledged. Thus, Sir John
Errington for considerable time represented
the British Government in a non-official fashion
at the Vatican. He aid not belong to the dip'o-
matte service. In fact, he did not belong to the
Government service at all and the British Pre-
mer ana Foreign Minister of the day were each

name never figured on the Foreign Office esti-
mates. and 1 myself DO not believe he ever re

the day in weaving the Vatican from its Irish
Home Rule proclivities. Nine. De Novikof in

The greenhouses in Prospect Park, though
they are always well worth visit and have
been unusually attractive at various times in

It's. are the scene just now Of a remarkably
beautiful display. The large new building at
the southeast end Of the group which has been
in process OF construction for some time has
recently been finished and thrown open as the
new palm house while the house adjoining. in
which the palms were formerly kept, is
filled with a mass of Towering plants in full
bloom. The most conspicuous of these, both in
numbers and in brilliant cOlorirg, are the aZa-
leas. These occupy most OF the space in the
large centre bed, which runs the entire length
Of the greenhouse. 1t is very seldom that so
many varieties may be seen in bloom at this
time. and the early display is due to the mild
ness of the season. Pink in al shades from the
deepest rose color to the palest shell tints; pure
white and mixtures Of the pink and the white

which these plants revert after a time to the

SOUR GRAPES.

Congressman GrOSvenor, the second
greatest man in Ohio, coming right
after Mark Hanna, and the bosom
friend and Outlines mouth-piece of
the administration, has jumped into
ex-President Harrison, presumably
with the advice and consent of Mr..
Hanna and his Presidential protege.
Referring to the Ann Arbor address
by Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Grosvenor as
serts that Mr.. Harrison was only
elected President by accident, that
personally he was "waspish, selfish
and disobliging," and that by his
manner he made enemies of about
all the beloved and strong leaders of
the Republican party" Further, that
Harrison was defeated by a man al
ready played out" without a struggle,
and that Mr. Harrison still excels in
gratuitious evaporation of his peers,
and finally, and with deep disgust, Mr..
Grosvenor spitefully remarks that
without the colored office-holders
Harrison would have been refused a
denomination"
This is all very interesting and ex-
tremely frank. Mr. Grosvenors re-
marks will be popularity accepted as
the administration estimate of Mr..
Harrison, better President than Mr..
Mckinley can ever hope to be. We
don't blame the government at Wash
ington for feeling badly about the
embarrassing attack by the ex-Presi-
dent, but abuse of Mr.. Harrison will
scarcely answer the criticisms he has
made to the satisfaction of the great
American people.

in the various expeditions undertaken
or to be undertaken by the interna-
tional forces, but would remain at the
American legation, attending strictly
to the defense of our representatives.
The announcement of this policy oc-
casioned some feeling at the various
European courts, but was finally ac-
cepted as the American way of doing
things, and to certain extent there
was a separation as to modes of ac-
complishing a common purpose.
A few days ago, however, the news
came from China that General Chaffee
had dispatched squadron of cavalry
and fifty infantry upon sort of punt
tive expedition many miles from Pc
king, and on top of this comes the
information that Count Won Valdez
see has divided the country about Pc
king into districts to be patrolled by
the troops of the several powers, and
that "a large district has been as
signed to the Americans, General
Chaffee accepting the task of keeping
order"
This is strange work for a legation
guard, and is stranger still when it is
noted that General Chaffee still ap-
pears to be acting under the orders of
the international Chief.
The only apparent explanation is that
Washington is playing double with the
public again, giving out news which
Is not in harmony with the existing
facts. A little light on this matter
would be appreciated by an observant
and slightly wonderous public.

OF Outrage and Massacre Upon Help
| less Christians in the Turkish EN-
pire.
| NEW YORK, December PA dis
patch to the Journal and Advertiser
from Vienna says:
| Further reports of the Turkish mas
sacre of Christians show that the in
stigator is a Mohammedan fanatic
named Ralduk Islam, who Drags of
| having slaughtered 200 Christians with
his own hands. The Turkish author
tiles have shown utter indifference
to the massacres, and the outrages per-
petrated on Christians are beyond de-
scription.
At Bituch men were cruciied on
trees with stakes driven through their
hands and feet. Women were attack
ed and then mutilated. Children were
murdered by mutilation before their
parents eyes. Women were maltreat-
ed at Grumma before the eyes Of their
husbands, fathers and brothers. and
then carried into the bondage OF
harems. Men were done to death
slowly by various means, their limbs
cut off successfully, and children were
thrown into the river.
The fiends tortured the Christians
at Riharitz by slcing flesh from all
parts OF their bodies before killing
them. A Greek Orthodox priest was
tied in a sack and pitched into the
river at GenOyitza. The Servian con-
sui at Mitrovitza estimates that LOO
persons have been killed and 400 wo-
men attacked and placed in harems.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The Republican majority in the
board of regents of the University are
determined to make a Republican po-
litical school out of IT, and they are
making a good deal of Roadway in
that direction. They are firing out the
Democratic teachers with some speed
more speed than decency. but that
makes no difference to them. 1t is
necessary that the State institution
of learning shall be made a hot bed Of
Republican political inspiration, and
to that end the State University must
be Differed by none but true blue
politicians. The action of the Repub-
lican majority in the board of regent
in dispensing with the service Of the
Democratic teachers because they are
Democrats, regardless Of whatever 4c-
ton may be rendered as the reason
for their action, is the source of gen
eral condemnation. With free love
advocates and teachers on the moral
proposition, the teachers of Republi-
can politics on other lines the school
cannot prosper. And if such policies
are continued it has no right to pros
per.
The West Virginia University is not
a sectarian school. nor is it an en-
dowed institution. 1t is maintained
by taxation levied upon all the people
of the state alike, whether they are
Democrats, Republicans. Populists, or
something else. The school depends
for its very existence upon the State
treasury, upon the inflow of taxes
taken from the people. Its patronage
is non-political and non-denomina-
tional. Its administration should
likewise be free from all ties, whether
they be church or politics. It should,
first Of all, be non-partisan school,
O. school for the education of youth,
| and above and beyond everything else.
