of tho responsibilities of his position His idea Is that tho President should do horn 0 told do nnd not attempt perform those functions prescribed 1 by tho Constitution through which if ho would faithful to tho principles ho Is to supposed represent he must necessarily bo tho leader of bis party In fact In this canvass the Democratic candidate is not presented as a skilful politician or a wise statesman Ills champions would have him considered a man of extraordinary moral purity of transcendent elevation of character but not of uncommon Intellect Ho stands as tho representative and embodiment of that personal morality and purity which tho unhappy Republican bolt ore besought tho Democrats to cherish be for all principles of politics aud all dictates of common sense I Is not

Ho has been set up oa a sort of political sign poet Ho may point out tho way those Who a advancing but so soon as the 11n air road Is gained thoy will turn tl lr backs on him and ho will cease to of

rebuffed by tho Colonial Secretary who at tho outset showed reluctance oltsll equal roluctnco to countenance tho doslrn of Queensland for tho acquisition of territory in Now Guinea But tho final success of the Sydney conference will encourage tho planters 0 the Antilles to perolst In their demands which In tho end no doubt will bo granted by Lord DERBY or by his successor In office What tho

Revolutionary war With them as they plainly told Lord DEBUT tho question of material Interest outweighs every sentimental consideration of affection for England and they Insist that their right to consult their own advantage Is no loss unimpeachable than that which in tho case of the people of Canada ha boon freely recognized In the somewhat curt and stiff rejoinder given by Lord DERDY tho memorial of tho planters ho hinted that the maintenance of tholr present close relation to the mother country was needed Insuro tholr own peace and safety Tho allusion was course tho marked

primo was desirable there was uo opposition but when a resolution wan offered imposing Greenwich nq tho zero for all im louu the French representatives dissented As tim qumtloi Involved In tho matter Is I ho safety and convenience of commerce nnd navigation It Is bo hoped that thoro will jo au ulllmuto agroomcut upon tho Greenwich morldlnu Tho Conference having nl read declared that there should bo a universal prime It Is plain that tho stop remaining maining for It take Is select such a I prime I the Conference should fall tko this step It would subject Itself merited ridicule To assemble delegates nt Washington from all Darts of tho worldfrom countries as far distant from each other ns Hawaii Norway Guatemala Japan merely in order to formally affirm a solfovldont general proposition would boa farce A letter telegram or ordinary messenger could convoy a sufficient adhesion to tho statement that alt nations ought employ a common standard of time reckoning Tho reason why mou of eclontiflo attainments were sent to this Conference Is obviously because they wore specially fitted participate In selecting and recommending such a otandard Whether tholr respective Governments will accept tho recommendation Is a dlffoiont matter but argue as some of the delegates appear have done that no particular prlmo nod be urged upon all Governments is absurd Tho reason why Greenwich has greater claims than any other meridian now In use for universal adoption is because It Is already employed by a largo majority of the mariners of tho world I is beyond dispute already tho accepted meridian of tho greater part of the earths commerce The delegates of tho United States have formally renounced all claims the selection of I zero within too boundaries of their country although tho Washington meridian is iu actual use on certain national and other maps What meridian then should chosen In preference to Greenwich Should Berlin St Petersburg or Amsterdam AU those are made secondary oven in tholr own respective countries for nautical to Greenwich Denmark could hardly Insist on the superior claims of Copenhagen which she uses nor Spain on San Fernando Tho only meridian which could considered as at all 1 lit substitute for that of Greenwich is that of Paris When however tho combined mercantile marine of Great Britain and tho United States not to speak of that of Russia Germany tho Netherlands and other countries using Greenwich to a greater or less extent Is compared with tho marine of Trance the contrast is so onoi inous that It would Boom llttlo short of an absurdity for the greater to give I way to the less Taking tho single consideration of tho making of now charts and the alteration of existing ones tho expense thereby occasioned would be vastly greater If Pnrid wore chosen In place of Greenwich cud If wholly now zero were fixed upon a needless loss of millions of dollars would bo Inflicted The Conference adjourned on Thursday when tho opposition to agreement had become obvious to meet on Monday I Is to bo hoped that in the interim the delegates ivlil see the wisdom of recommending some common prime to all nations I thoy can arrive at no better arrangement thoy might at least IU on a majority and a minority solution leaving conformity to either to the good sense of the various Governments The Young Girl In Brooklyn Wo aro glad BOO that tho young girl in Brooklyn who wrote us on the subject the other day has not yet mado up her mind lu favor of runaway marriages Still she thinks that parents often BO proceed ns justify tholr daughters In trying

Sho seeing domain that she shall have undisturbed posbCHbton of the pallor or drawing room on such nn occasion that Is her parents must keep out of tho way while tho young men are In tho house Wo know that In this country thoio are i many children who assume that when parents i have provided support for their boys and girls they havo exhausted tholr right and proper functions Tho young folks ox

that ago Is utterly Incapable of understanding i or sympathizing with tho mysteri of youth and that Otis Impulses experience and wisdom may bo of value In other directions but are too coarse and rude too practical and commonplace deal with tho tender emotions of the youthful heart Undoubtedly largo part of the reading of young pooplo tends to encourage such a feelIng of contempt for parental authority Tho heroines tho novels tho devout they aro usually bttibboiuly contending against fathers 01 mothers who me unable to discover tho merits of their lovois Tho path of youth is mido thor by

Brooklyn maid on could not otherwise than frequent Tho common feeling among boys and girls that parental Interference with their love affairs Is an unjustifiable Impertinence bo always resented and severely frowned upon by the children marriage was not tho very serious matter It Is the prevalence of fluoh notions would do slight harm If getting married meant merely having a little lark the many

follow member of tho Canadian civil service for calling him a dude on tho public street Tho CUt therefore was required to decide what a dudo IF In ordor determine whether It Is an opprobrious term Accordingly I large number of witnesses woro examined to got doflnltlon of the word but thoy differed so widely aud irreconcilably that the Judge was finally obliged to con fuss his Inability to decide what dude actually is and hence dismissed tho case Yet as originally used tho term dudo had a very definite signification I was applied to ono of thoso solemn young coxcombs who mode tholr appearance fow years ago In London and New York and who wore distinguished by an entire absence of Intelligent expression In tholr countenances and of anything like display In tholt faultless costumes of English cut Tholr aim was to be uninterested and emotionless under all circumstances nud to attract attention by their stutueliko repose alI utter vacuity In their general get up and In their bearing they closely resembled each other for they all had tho same asinine model which woof London make Tho chief purpose they served during their short career was that of walking advertisements for tho tallow who constructed their garments of subdued colors nail a common cut But the term dudo having been adopted with great rapidity It was soon applied to dandles of every kind and oven to all men who were careful about their dices A totter application of It however was empty headed fellows who counted themselves superior their neighbors simply because thor thought they wore more fashionable garments those who would build up nn aristocracy bated on clothes merely Now tho original dudo so far lenin being Insulted when ho was so called wa proud of tho distinction I gave him the recognition for which ho was striving Ho wns posing for effect and when I term was imuufac turod expressly to describe him ho had attained his highest tunbUUm No genuine dudo would have brought the Montreal suit for ho would have ascribed tho icmntk which wns so offensive to tho Canadian to the envious admiration of his collocutor Yot of course an intelligent and sensible man does not like bo taken for a dude But a man who brings a lawsuit to resent such a designation Is neither sensible nor intelligent and tho chances arc that the terra was not altogether misapplied In this Canadian nadian rase that Is It wo extend the menu ing of tho term so as to include among dudes all silly aud vain men who are touchy as tho impression their appearance and boar ing make on their associates flow the Eyes Ought to be

manner as a man uses the arbitrary power of proprietorship to run a factory On tho contrary it Is for the proper adiuatmentof the coordinate branches of Imtlalatlon and law The three must go baud In hand equal Take the Fivecent Fare bill an Illustration of what I moan Mr Cleveland vetoed it not because It was plainly cud clearly unconstitutional which would have been tenable around though better left to the courts It the unconstitutionally was not clear but booauao In some previous law thero was on Implied contract that no FiveCent Faro bill should by enacted That was not for him to nay It was too aloe and flno point for any one man to dectdo Wnnt ho should nave done was to sign the bill and say to great corporations Interested You have a remedy before the Court of Appeals nobody knows

only at his personal gain In politics ho would havo signed It But the Ignorance displayed was Inoxcus abln It is of the same octet na thn flipping of hangmans knot under lie chin of the victim It was the refinement of blundering by which Cleveland was nominated The State of Now York has 5000 Democrat any one of whom ranks him In the knowledge reuulred for the Presidential ofllca I dont believe he could find his way alone to Wash ington He was never there that I have heard Certainly his legal business never led him there That he shoald give up an honorable ptotnsrlon to booomn a public hangman shows oonoluslvely that bo had no professional stand big and that be sought an office for emolument The Democratic party Is full of ripened statesmen who am near and dear to the hearts of the pooplo any ono of whom could have been eluded Gen Hancock could have been elected orThurnmn or Bay and It was a mistake to eo to New York for a candidate Experience proved that In three successive contests It was a mistake to go for candidate Into any State whore there were factional and faction diffurencoa It was a greater mistake than all to no Into such a btato and tako up tho very man who wag the cause of such A factional difference Tlmt was where tire refinement of blundorlng came In Cleveland was nominated because Bchurz and Curtis nnd Benobnr advocated his cause Thin delegates In the

richness of her bridal trappings with the glitter of Immense clusters of diamonds which were disposed about her bend and shoulders made her very striking object as she walked up the 4 aisle Perhimipo the bridegroom had never before realized the value of the prize he had won for he looked quite startled when the bride came In sight and it was only after a signal from her that he stepped forward to take her hand Indeed the shyness which seemed to overwhelm him did not wear off oven when the ceratnonv was at an end and was In marked contrast to the easy grace and taeoirfaiie of his ushers and best man who would have boon quite ns unembarrassed If they had been officiating at the nuptials of a royal duke Them was not very much display of autumn fashions among tim company as the heat drove

Many ol tho same people were orcsunt as at the Jerome wedding and Dclmontoos rooms wore well filled with wedding guests on heir return at about 7 oclock in tim evening The next morning they all flew away like tho swallow In the story and In a few hours were scattered for and wide And It Is not onlr to the suburbs and to places within easy distance ot New York that society people have betaken
