AS a manager of lecture lyceums in
the days of their great popularity
that is, between 1860 and 1SS5-the
late John G. North was on intimate
terms with most of the men and
women of America who have gone
down in history as our great platform
orators Wendell Phillips, John b.
Cough, Anna h. Dickinson and others
he knew them all and managed
them, and between him and Wendell
Phillips there sprang up a personal
relation that bordered on intimate
friendship.
MIR. Phillips, after the close Of the
Civil War was, with the possible eX-
ception of John b. Cough, the most
popular lecturer upon the American
platform" said Mr.. North. And yet,
unlike most of those who were his
rivals, he never wrote out a lecture.
He always composed a lecture men
tally, turning the subject over and
over i'm his mind until he was thor
oughly familiar with it. He therefore
was not Obliged to depend upon manu-
script or memory when delivering a
lecture Naturally. he never delivered
lecture twice the same phrasing. I
once heard him say that he had de-
livered his lecture on The Lost Arts
some two thousand times he had never
delivered it twice precisely the same
way
"Mr. Phillipss habit of carrying his
lectures about with him in his head
and not in his carpet bag led 10 an
amusing incident in Bennington, Yer
mont. where he had been engaged to
appear by the local lecture bureau.
"An hour or so after his arrival I'm
the town the ly6eum committee, three
prominent 'townsmen, called upon
him at the hotel

are you going to deliver to us to-

Abusing Freedom.

Benjamin e. Walsh. the sociologist,
saids of immigration in.a recent lee
ture in Reading.
Il would not restrict immigration.
II is true that some immigrants, en-
tering for the first time free cOun-
try, abuse their freedom. But they
soon get over that.
1--WE are all apt to abuse unwonted
freedom. I know an Englishman who
on his arrival in New York demanded
a glass of whiskey in a palatial bar.
Nov. in England your whiskey is
measured out to you in a small tin
measure, but in our bar the English
man, to his astonishment, had the full
bottle set before him. He was given for
the first time the freedom of the bot
tie.
And though a rich man, he abused
that freedom He took an enormous
drink. Then he rose and handed the
bartender IS cents.
Hold on, sir the bartender called
after him You've forgotten your

A MATTER OF REGRET.

TT GIVES The Journal no pleasure TO critoise
n Mayor Spruancc with regard TO his appoint
ments as members of the charter commission He
has replaced one Of the best men he named, Mr.
Monaghan, by Mr.. Kane, chairman of the Finance
Committee of Council.
Against Mr. Kane personally The Journal has
no word TO say but Mr.. Kane is chairman of the
Finance Committee of Council which has piled up
a huge deficit and Mr. Kanes committee put
through the land deal which is the worst load that
the Democrats have TO carry.
We don't believe that Mr.. Kanes appointment
therefore is a suitable one, if the Charter Com
mission is to be considered really as something for
the welfare Of the city and a step forward Pres
sure should have been brought on Mr. Monaghan
TO have him remain on the commission, but we have
understood that Mr.. Monaghan thinks that he is
too much in. the public eye and his friends fear
that he will he regarded as chronic place seeker
We arc sorry that if this fear is correctly stated
that Mr. Monaghan's friends should hold such
views
The Mayor would not have found any difficulty
however in replacing Mr. Monaghan by man
who would have been more satisfactory Some
OF the active spirits in the Democratic League
might have been drawn on Mr. Gray or Mr. Josiah
Marvel or any number of others. II the Mayor was
determined 10 appoint what may be termed
strong Democrats" 10 the position he could at
least have taken more of his appointments from
the liberal wing of the Democratic party AS it is
Mr.. Kurtz is the only Democratic commissioner
who is known to hold progressive and advanced
views on public questions
The Mayor may have thought that his new ap-
pointment would help him in his fight for renomi-
nation, but we fear the result will be the reverse
from what he thinks We believe that instead of
helping him it will hurt him AS we have said
It gives us no pleasure TO say these words. The

Spending Money Abroad.

spent abroad in the course of a sea-

cost OF steamship tickets. Bankers
who handle the letters of credit for
wealthy American tourists are quot
ed to the effect that $4,000 is a fair
average for the value of these let

THE MAN AND THE DOLLAR.

N DOUBTLESS many of those who heard the
- address of the Rev. DR.. William Temple and
those who have read il will consider il a radical
speech, "hot stuff" as fellow clergyman re-

WOMEN AND THE CITY CHARTER.

VATE HAVE. received suggestion from one OF
Wv our esteemed subscribers, too late to be of
actual service regarding the charter commission.
The suggestion is that woman be appointed
as one of'the charter commissioners. The idea is
a good one and had it been thought Of sooner
we should have urged it. But we fear that no
woman would have been appointed. Women don't
vote yet
The Civic Association has among its active
members a number Of bright and intelligent
women who have frequently taken part in the
talks at the meetings Of the association They
are fully capable of holding their own in dis
cussng matters of the association and of these
women would undoubtedly have been OF as much
service on the commission as most of the men.
The women of the city can influence the max
ing of a new charter and in fact they ought TO
influence that work Many women are large pro-
perty owners; some of them are small property
owners All of them arc or should be interested

Some of them are very we'll Informed about pub

as not to make the lecture too long

lectures at one time and for the
price he customarily received for one
