THE COMBEs MINISTRY.

The work OF secularizing the schools
of France having been practically
completed the people of that country
do not seem to have any further use
for NJ. Combes, their Prime Minister,
who accomplished that work. There
is no doubt he did what they wanted
done, and it seems strange therefore
that his popularity should be on the
wane.
He wasn't the originator of the Sc
cularization Of the schools, though he
has done all that has been done in
the direction of secularizing them. The
law was enacted through the efforts
of Waldeck- Rousseau in 1891. who was
prime minister at that time. He got
the idea fastened in his mind that the
republic was in danger from the re-
ligious schools, and so he had a law
enacted that authorized government In
spection of them. He had no inten-
ton of breaking them up, He aimed
simply at publicity in their affairs.
The forces he Embossed by this law,
however. got beyond his control, and
Things were uOne OF winch ne ola not
approve. Indeed he was made re-
sponsible for so many acts, which he
considered outrages, in connection with
the religious schools that he retired
from the ministry.
NJ. Combes, who succeeded him, I'M
derstood better what the people want
ed and he did not hesitate to give 1t to
them. He gave interpretations to the
Waldeck- Rousseau law that were new
er dreamed of by the author of that
law. Thousands of schools were
| broken up and their teachers driven
out of the country. The temper of
the House of Deputies is to sweep
from France all schools which are un-
der religious direction.
Minister Combes has won the ap-
plause of the French people by the
thoroughness with which he has done
his work, but it seems they think that
| having completed the work for which
he was so well qualified he ought to
retire to private life. That seems to
be the view the French people take
of the situation.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Houston Post (Dem.) says: 1.-THE
difference between the attitudes of
Northern people and the Southern peo-
pie toward the negro is simply stated
In the North they want him to vote,
but not work; in the South we want
him to work, but to eschew politics."
The Birmingham News (Dem.) says:
There should be decency in all things
Judge Parker is a man of dignity.
judgment and character. He has no
chain of newspapers through which to
acquire a spectacular notoriety and it
is well that he hasn't. One w. R.
Hearst is an ample sufficiency for even
those who confuse the honor of the
presidential nomination with a five
ringed circus going about the country
booming the owner for political prefer
ment."
The Albany IN. W Argus (Dem.)
says: Judge Parker's friends do not
fear inquiries, the most searching, the
most exacting, the most hostile, even,
to which he may be subjected. Our
friends the enemy on the Republican
side of the house have vainly sought
some flaw in his record, some point
on which he might be attacked. The
better he is known, the stronger his
candidacy becomes. He loses no sup
porters, but continually gains new
ones, and so 1t will be, until the new
Man of Destiny becomes the next
President of these United States"
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
"At the present time it looks as If
Judge Parker has the best prospect
of nomination. There would be no
difficulty in giving him hearty support.
The real Democracy would be able TO
range itself with enthusiasm behind
Parker, Gray or Olney; for we take
il that the nomination of any of these
three strong men would imply the
adoption of a genuine Democratic
platform, free from faint of Populism
and communism. None of these men
is engaged in a disgusting scramble
for the presidency, none of them is
printing yellow newspapers in the in
terest of his personal political ambi-
ton, none Of them is seeking office
by the misuse of money and the meth
DDS Of a mountebank."

True Fame.

The two laurel wreaths sat swing
ing idly by the roadside that led to
the House of Fame, says the Reader
Magazine.
1T is inevitable" said the first laurel
wreath, that in the course of time
we shall both of us rest upon the brow
of the most deserving"
TOO true" said the second laurel
wreath. "And l cannot help but Won
der who they will be. Here comes a
modern poet. BROTHER, do you feel an
impulse to spring upon his brow?"
mo, 1 cannot say that I do. His
hair is of the usual poetical length,
he has the poets rapt look, yet he
is not the real thing. / shall let

well, then, here comes a mag

consideration. His name is a house

factions would fill long column. What

Never! Tomorrow he will be for

The first laurel wreath rustled in
indignation and replied:

The first laurel wreath uttered an
exclamation. "See! he cried. "They

Only One Choice.

Grover Cleveland had the reputation
of being a self-willed man when he
was in the Presidency, but there is
abundant reason for believing that
he admired positive men even when
they opposed his wishes, says the
Boston Post. Shortly after his sec
ond election a delegation of eminent
Democrats from one of the Eastern
states, called at the White House to
recommend noted lawyer, who shall
be called Mr.. Brief, for a high federal
position. The President examined the
claims of the delegation carefully and
satisfied himself of the fitness of the
man. He seemed impressed, thought
he would make the appointment, but
asked for a few days to consider the
matter further.
In forty-eight hours a fierce tactionai
fight arose and outside interests trot-
ted out a second candidate for the
place. The second candidate had pap
ers and petitions by the bushel. A
week passed and the President sent
for the delegation who had recon-
mended, Mr.. Brief.
Gentlemen" said the President, in
substance, "a very ugly fractional fight
has arisen over the appointment of
Mr. Brief. Now, l suggest that you
withdraw his name and give me two
more names as a second and third
choice"
Mr.. President said the spokes-
man, I'VE are your friends and al
ways have been. We represent your
organized supporters. The man we
present is competent and his charac-
ter is without reproach. Have we
stated the case correctly"
The President nodded his head in
acquiescence.
"Then," said the spokesman, I'VE
present the name of Mr.. Brief as our
choice for this position"
YES" rejoined the executive, pleas
antly "he is your first choice, but
who is your second?"
"Our second choice is Mr.. Brief"
''Who is your third choice?"
"Our third choice is Mr.. Brief.
The President must have admired,
this loyal persistency in standing by
a friend. for that afternoon the name
of Mr.. Brief was sent to the Senate.

PERSONAL.

-Barbora Honora Venus Brown
Ryan, Boston character for many
years past, was arrested for vagrancy
the other day, and upon being search
ed $4,000 was found concealed in her
clothing. She was permitted to depart
from the court room in peace, but
with a warning to keep off the streets.
Mrs. Andrew Carnegie cares little
or nothing for jewels. When she goes
out to a function or to the opera she
sometimes wears pearls, but these are
not of fabulous size or price. They
are extremely modest and afford quite
contrast to the jewels which some
women wear. At best Mrs. Carnegie
does not care for functions or society
in general. She makes a delightful
hostess at Skibo Castle, where she has
received royalty, and these are quail
ties which always win with the higher
classes abroad.

WHAT MISS BARTON WANTS TO
KNOW.

1t is well known that the affairs of
the Red Cross Society are very I'M
satisfactory to many of its members,
and that an investigation of them has
been ordered. Miss Barton, who is
its president, has written a letter to
the investigating committee-the COM
mittee consists of Senator Proctor,
Representative Alton Smith and Gen.
Wilson-asking about the scope of the
investigation. She wants to know
whether it is desired that the accounts
of only the previous year be exhibited
or the accounts of the society since
it's incorporation. If the latter she
pleads the statute of limitation. She
says that she is willing to furnish all
the records of the society. but that she
has never heard that there were any
charges that funds of the society have
beeen Incorporated.
It is probable that what those who
are asking for the investigation want
is the resignation of Miss Barton. They
want to get hold of the society and
reorganize it. 1t is evident to them,
and probably to most everybody else,
that it will not amount to much
while it is in it's present hands. 1t
seems from its latest publication that
it has but little, If anything, in it's
treasury, and there seems reasons for
saying that If need for it's services
were to arise it would be handicapped
by the lack of means for doing any,
thing.
If the public had confidence in its
ability to accomplish something, in the
event it's services were needed, its
financial condition wouldn't be so de-
plorable. In its financial affairs it
makes a very poor showing in COM
parison with the Red Cross of Euro
pean countries or even of Japan.
We don't pretend to be well posted
about the affairs of the Red Cross, but
it seems to us that the best thing
that could happen to it would be to
pass into other hands. The nation
wishes it to be brought up to a high
standard of efficiency. The people
doubtless would contribute the money
for that purpose, but before anything
is likely to be done in that direction
Miss Barton, in all probability, will
have to sever her connection with it.
She has had a long career at the head
of it and has had many medals Of
honor conferred upon her by foreign
governments. She is well along in
years and the society doubtless needs
younger and more vigorous people in
control Of 1t.

would be well to have a congressional

A warm controversy is promised
over the question of a smoking room
in a projected club for women in New
York. Some members of the club say
that a woman's club rooms ought to
afford the same facilities and convent
ences as those of a mems club, and
that if there should be women MEM
bers who wish to take their meals
with cocktails and smoke a cigarette
afterwards, they should be permitted
that privilege. Other members hold
up their hands in holy horror and as
sert that anything like cocktails and
a smoking room in a woman's club
would be disgraceful. There will be a
lot more said on the subject by the
members.

Last year Mr.. w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr,
had constructed a high-speed, turbine
yacht, the Tarantula. The boat on
several occasions has made the speed
of twenty-nine knots an hour. Mr.
Vanderbilt wanted another knot add
ed, to make it an even thirty. In or
der to achieve this he has had the
furnaces reconstructed so that here
after spray of petroleum will be
thrown upon the burning coal. With
the use of two kinds of fuel at the
same time it is believed a pressure of
steam sufficient to drive the boat
through the water at the required rate
of speed can be maintained. The al
terations in anticipation of the extra
mile have cost Mr.. Vanderbilt $4,000,
and the fuel bill will be increased
about 20 per cent.
