Marvellous Bryan.

Although Bryan has been defeated twice m succession, his career, in one sense, has been scarcely less marvellous than that of Cleveland. His advent, indeed, was more spectacular than that Of any other person ever nominated for president by q great party. Other men have carried conventions who were never mentioned m connection with the candidacy until after the con ventiOn met. Bryan alone, though, save Garfield, won the convention by his own exertions in it. There was a vast difference in the conditions which led to the triumph of these two person ages. The speech which ultimately won the candidacy for Garfield was made in behalf of another person, Sherman. Garfield, too, had rendered brilliant service to his party through many years Tn congress, and he had also been soldier of some distinction. On the other hand, Bryan entered his convention as contesting delegate; he worked for his own candidacy when the convention Of 1896 met he had never been heard of by the masses of his party or by any except a small number of the conventions delegates; his political service had been short and not particularly notable; he had no military reputation. The fact that he gained the nomination under these ad- verse conditions, and that he domi. mated his party despotically for four years after his first defeat and forced it to give him second candidacy on his own terms, despite the hostility of his parts's leaders, is unexampled in American history, and should make political soothsayers cautious in pre- dieting that his sway in his own sect has even yet ended. d.-Charles NJ. Har- vey in the Globe Democrat.

Beecher on the Crow,

Henry Ward Beecher once said of the
crow: aside from this special question
OF profit and loss, we have warm side
toward the crow, he is SO much like one
OF ourselves. He is lazy-and that is
human. He thinks his own color the
best and loves to hear his own voice
which are eminent traits of humanity
He will never work when he can get
Others to work for him-a genuine human
trait. He eats whatever he can get his
claws upon, and is less mischevous with
a belly full than when hungry-and that
is like man.
'"rake eff their wings and put them In
breeches, and crows would make fair
average men Give men wings and re-
duce their smsrtness a little, and many
of them would be almost good enough to
be crows"

The Art of Talking Wen.

1t is no longer considered good form 10

Gossip, too, Is really going out OF ashton.
True wit is a gift, not an attainment.
Those mo use it Alright never yield to the
temptation OF saying anything that ean
wound another in order to exhibit their
own cieverness. 1t is natural and spon :
taneous. "He VINO RUS after wit is apt
to catch nonsense"
Talk that has heartiness in it and the
liveliness and sparkle that c me of light
heartedness and innocent gaiety, is a
fairly good su bstitu;e for wit.
Offer to each one W no speaks he homage
OF your undivided attention. Look peo-
pie in the face when you talk to them.
Talk OF things, not persons. The best
substitute for wisdom is silence.
1t is provineiaism to say Eyes, sir, y

Bishop james A. Healy, of the Catholic

from acute Indigestion. Rt Rev. James
Augustine Healy, was born at Macon, Ga,

attention to civil engineering. He was
led to turn attention to the church, and
In 1874 entered Holy Cross college at Wor-
cester, Mass, graduating in 1s49 at the
head OF his class. He studied theology at
the Grand seminary at Montreal for three
years, and then went to Paris and con-
tinued his studies at st. Sulpice. June 10,
1854, he was ordained a priest in the
Cathedral of Notre Dame by Archbishop
Sibour. Prior to his ordination he had
been designated by Bishop Fitzpatrick,
OF Boston, as his secretary and he as
sumed the duties of that Office as soon as
be returned to America. He was soon
after appointed chancellor OF the diocese
of Boston, being the first to hold that Of
fee. He was also for some time rector Of
the cat hedraI, and was given extraordin-
ary power as administrator. For twelve
years he discharged the duties of two and
at times three important positions. From
his first field OF labor he passed to the
rectorship OF St. James church, termed
"the Mother of Bishops. He held this
position nine years. Bishop Bacon, the
first bishop OF Maine, died in 1874, and
Bishop Healy was selected as his success

IA PITIFUL COLLAPSE"

The defeat OF the bill in the Senate
to make the prepayment of the poll
tax qualification of voting in vir-
ginia, our esteemed contemporary OF
Richmond, the Times, denounces as "a
pitiful collapse" This qualification has
been dealt with by both parties in Vir-
ginia, and neither has held 1t matter
of constitutional provision. The Con-
servatives first adopted it by an
amendment to the State constitution,
and the Readjustcrs repealed 1t by
constitutional amendment. The Vir-
ginian-Pilot does not see how 1t could
be restored by a mere act of legisla-
ture, unless by way of bill or joint
resolution to amend the constitution,
to be passed by two legislatures and
ratified by popular vote, and we do not
of that nature.
However, we do not regard it's defeat
rs ~ pitlful collapse" for it would
have been imperative as an unconsti-
tutional attempt to add to the qualifl-
cations required Of voters, and, besides,
the qualification, as experience has
taught us. Is unwlsc and impolitic:
having been a prolific source in this
state OF traud,l bribery and corruption,
as we have more fully stated in an
other article on the subject. We trust
the action of the Senate ends the effort
to revive this old scheme to dcbauch
our officers. candidates and voters.

Senator Pettigrcws speech in the

conclusive on all the points german to
the subject. Senator Wolcott has jeer-
cd Mt Mr.. Pcttigrew as n Filipino: but
neither Mr. Wolcott nor any other Sen
ator supporting McKinlcys imperial
policy in the East has made speech
half so honorable to the American
character and principles as that OF the
Senator from South Dakota. Senator
Wolcott has had some vogue as the
pink OF courtesy and the Turveydrop Of

Senator Pettigrew his manners and Ian

tion OF all the ancient and traditional
preccdcnts and preeepts of Senatorial
courtesy and dignity. Mr.. Wolcott in

spect. except those he may derive from
his tailor. We regret this, as we once
thought Mr., Wolcott as nice gentle
