King Delays Letters.

The publicet tion OF the sensational
HOheulohe memoirs and consequent
turmoil at several European courts has
resulted in King Edward delaying the
publication OF Queen Victoria's cores
pOndenCe indefinitely.
The decision. which was communicated
a few days ago 10 Lo-d Esher. his
majesty's adviser and confidential
agent and john Murray the pub
Usher, caused CONSERVATION.
Preparations had been made for the
publication OF the correspondence i'm the

that he would read the proofs personally

related 10 persons stil alive and which
he thought might give offeuse. Great
perturbation was caused iu certain
quarters by the first announcement that
the late Queens letters were TO be made

foreign office went so far as 90 make A
quiet protest against the inclusion of
certain documents bearing ou political
events which occurred in recent years.

were still too new 90 be given TO the

The foreign Office calmed down when
il was known that the King had
killed a number OF important letters

European courts Two months ago the
edition was finally approved by King
Edward, was ready for publication. and
his majesty had initiated the last batch

CateChiSm for Use of Teachers
Rift in Educational Bill Cloud;
Marie COreIli on Suffragettes
By LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

/ LONDON, Dec. 29.-Amid all the con-
! troversy which RACES in this country
over the education act, there are CLEANS
/ of light in the storm, such CLEANS as
are specially revealed in times Of stress
and darkness. The prOnouncements
made by one Of our greatest scientists,
Sir Oliver Lodge, come 70 US as a very
welcome illumination, welcome because,
although some Of us may think it a
very inadequate expression OF a fun be-
lief, il is a very epoch-making pro-
uouncement from Il man who has given
al his life to the study of hard facts,
and the deducing of theories.
Sir Oliver Lodge has drawn up a sort
of catechism for the use of teachers
concerned in the instruction of the
young, but the principal point to us lies
in the fact that there is nothing antago-
nistic to faith in the spirit of modern
science neither does il conflict with the
Christian faith. His knowledge of the
development of man is quite consonant
with the auegories given to us in the
early chapters OF the Bible. The cate
chism he has written is not intended for
children TO learn by heart but rather
it is one for the guidance of those who
teach.
Asked as 10 the nature of man, he an

sclous upon this earth, my ancestors

sin is selhshness, whereby needless trou-
bic and pain are inflicted on others; IL is
akin 20 moral suicide" Then We have

and TO the probability that there are
multitudes OF beings in higher scale
of existence than ours
From this the writer goes on 10 say
that he is brought 10 believe in "oue
Infinite and Eternal Being, a guiding
and loving Father in whom all things
consist" in the revelation of the divine
nature 10 man, through Jesus Christ.
Our Lord. who lived and taught and
suffered in Palestine nineTNu hundred
years ago, and has since been wor-
shipped by the Christian Church as the
immortal Son of God, the Savior of the
world"
Finally he defines the Life Eternal
the Communion or Saints, and the Kilg-
dom Of Heaven, and gives a fine analy ais
OF the Lords Prayer. The caterhism
does aOt contain all that We believe, but
il contains nothing that we do not be-
licye.

THE DISASTER IN SAN FRANCISCO

The American people had hardly
done lamenting the woe brought to an
alien race by the eruptions of Mt.
! Vesuvius, before they were called up
on to witness a cataclysm bringing
death and destruction to kinsmen,
friends and neighbors on their own
shores, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. Deep as was the sympathy
and profound as was the horror stirred
by the fate of the Italians, the disaster
which has overtaken San Francisco
and enyirons by its proximity, moves
Americans to an even greater pity.
They behold the transformation of one
of their own beautiful, busy and pros
porous cities into a chaos of desola-
ton. They see the evolution of years
undone in the twinkling of an eye by
a sullen, mysterious magic of nature.
They see mighty buildings, the pro
duct of long toll of mason and builder,
tossed and tumbled In a pile of rub
bish, and modest homes, the prides or
dismal refugees of the lowly, shriveled
into bricks and sticks. They see
people who had homes, homeless;
people who had property, propertyless,
and the dead and the dying. the panic
stricken and the helpless-all make
one shudder at the picture San Fran
cisco presents-shudder and grieve
and pity.

The audience which heard Mr. Car

weeks ago was larger by half than the
one which heard his opening speech
six months ago. But, the Nashville
American tells us, the audience
which heard Gov. Taylor Friday night
was not as large as that which greeted
him five months ago" Straws show
which way the wind is blowing. Gov.
Taylor's candidacy started with
boom. 1t reached the zenith Of its
strength and enthusiasm the first
month. No sooner had he shown the
white feather by declining a joint
debate, than the enthusiasm in his
ranks began to abate, and he has been
losing strength and popularity ever
since. Thrice armed is he whose

just Hence as the argument pro-
ceeds the people, who may always be
trusted to do right when they are
given time to think, are fiocking to his
standard. We do not feel the least
uneasy or uncertain as to the final
result. We feel as confident of Mr..
