It may be only a coincidence, but it is at lea-st an Interesting one. But there are many x'arletles of humor. That with which Dr. Holmes delighted his readers was of the highest typo. There a'as a wls<lom In It and a kindliness which made It'helpful and inspiring. He was a philosopher, without the philosopher's solemnity. While certainly not a poet of the first order, to his

31K. HILL ACCEPTS. On Satordny David B. Hill was formally notified of his nomination for Governor of New Tork, and he made a brief speech of acceptance. His speech Is probably as remarkable an utterance as was ever made by a public man. He makes It manifest that he accepts only because he can see no way to decline. He did not want the nomination; he was furious when the convention lost Its head, and, against his protest and appeal, gave Its voice for him. He wanted Whitney nominated, whether for sincere or sinister reasons, is Immaterial. W’hen Whitney refused the proffered honor, there was no other name ready for the convention, and the convention, made up of stalwart Hill admirers, turned without reflection or forethought to the man It most admired. Ever since the convetitlon adjourned Hill .has been busy, he says, trying to find some one willing to take his place. His search has been fruitless. He can not escape; therefore, he swallow? his resentment and disappointment with as good grace as he can—and it is not very good—and agrees to make the race. David B. HUl Is too shrewd a politician to have any.llluslon about what Aa campaign means. He has everything to lose and nothing to gain. If he falls to carry the State he sees that any hopes of a presidential nomination, which he has continued to nurse, are dashed Irretrievably to the ground. With anybody else as candidate for Governor, Democratic defeat Hill could have used for selfexaltation. Bu^'lf the party ia defeated with him at the head he must go down also. His fall win be all the more disastrous because of hla former successes. It Is apparent from the tone of Mr. Hill’s speech that he has practically no hope of election. He has not forgotten, probably, his prediction or warning In the Senate a few weeks ago Aat the passage of the income tax provision would mean the loss of New York and Jtow Jersey to the Democrats. Ha pro^ses, he says, to make an aggressive ftoht. an appeal to the plain people. But his whole utterance shows Aat he has no faith that the appeal will be effective. He enters upon the campaign as the despairing leader of a forlorn hope. And he may well despair. In addition to the general drift against the Democratic party Mr. Hill sees Aat his nomination has split his own party In two. Many of the strongest papers, like Ae »veoln» Post and the Times, refuse to support him,. The treatment by the coiventlon of the State Democracy delegates from New York and Brooklyn has add^ to the spirit of opposition Ih the amt-snap Democrats against HIH and HilUam. Hill’s espousal of Maynard’s cause to not forgotten. Hill's course in the Senate has not strengthened him with the-Democrats who believe In Cleveland and his policy. From every point ofvtew the outlook is most discouraging, mpd HIU knows It. The day of wrathjn long delayed, for the tricky poliUcian, is fast coming; and he knows It. We are not admirers of Mr. MortotW'SS our readers know. The Democrats had a chance to make his election dlfilcult and doubtful. They have made It practically certain. In so doing New York will get a respectable Governor (with Platt bind the scenes, to be sure), and will end, we trust, the career or further advancement and Influence of David B. HUl.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. Many a greater man than Oliver Wendell Holmes has died whom the world has missed and mouraed far less keenly Aan U will miss and mourn him. He was so kindly and sympathetic, so human, so well awiualnted with the foibles and weaknesses of humanity, and ,>et he lovgd It much and was so hopeful for It that It is not easy to think of him aa having "gone Into a world where aU things are forgotten." For more than sixty years he has been speaking to the Americ-An people, ^and If his voice was not that of a prophet—»8 It was not—assuredly It was tho voice of a friend and lover. W'hen he began his literary career 'William I'V was King of Great Britain, and Andrew Jackson was In the middle of his first term as President of these United State#. In that far-off, pre-Victorian time—so far off that Ae calendar can not measure the iwierval which separates the men of that day from ourselves—American literature had hardly more than made a beginnbig. Some work had been done. U is true* but tbe great development was yet to com*. Cooper, and Bryant, and Irving had made k start-“Thana-topsto’’ was written in IMS. "The Spy" In )**t, and "The Knickerbocker Htotoiy of New York” appearQil-.lll AB, the year of Holmes’s birth-hut Cooper, wUh all his merit. Is to-day one of the aiufisats, Irving Is not widely read, whils Bryant never md. except as an editor, sustain a very close relation to As ttf* of hto time. Bm«r«on and HawJttfTit. though <Mer, t«wether with Holmes, were really the first fruits of that wonderful development in letters which has almost kept pace with our phyideal and materia) growth. Lowell, the greatest name in our literature, ^me later. ]}r. nolmss was always a modern. Bs faes mover at any Urns during hto

The man who wrote "The Voiceless,'' “The Chambered •Nautilus,” "The Iron Gate.” and Ae ifiany charming poem* scattered through the pages of "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table” can not be excluded from Parnassus. And yet we think that Dr. Holmes will rather live In his prose writings. Wherever the English language is spoken "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" is still read and enjoyed. It appeals to all classes. Wiser books have been written, but there are few books which contain more practical wisdom put In more attractive shape. To many men it Is a storehouse which Is never exhausted, and to which they always go with a serene confidence—serene, because it has never been betrayed—that they will get something from It which will help them. There to nothing quite like this book In modern literature. It ll story, sermon, poem and philosophy all mixed so deftly that we are entertained, instructed and inspired all at onoe. • ^ Dr. Holmes has, too, been a successful story-teller. The "Autocrat” itself to, as we have said, a story—and a delightful one. So Is the "Professor.” So Is the “Poet.” But In "Elsie Venner,” "The Guardian Angel” and "A Mortal Antipathy”—the latter written In the author’s seventy-eighth year — we hav* three novels which any man, certainly any American, might be proud to have written. Yet he did not write them simply for the story’s sake. The sub-title of •'Elsie Venner” is "A Romance of Destiny,” and It is a study of heredity, or rather of pre-natal ^Influence. The same thing is true in a degree of ,“A Mortal Antipathy,” though It Is nevertheless a charming love story. We do not suppose that Dr. Holmes knew whether he was a realist, a r^antlclst or a veritist. He probably was not much troubled with theories about art. He told hto stories In his own way,sand people were and are glad to read them. * Distlnguisbed as he was in letters, he was not in ihe truest sense a literary man. Some of the greatest writers the world has known were not literary men— solely. Emerson, If wa may believe Mr., Arnold, was not. Nor was Lowell—he himself being Ae judge. Matthew Arnold himself was theologian and politician. So Dr. Holmes Is In good company. He made literature, bo had the literary taste and instinct, but be never forgot—perhaps he could iot—that he was a physician. Hto novels and essays and even many of hto poems, bear the mark of the author’s profession. He draws his illustrations from the science to which he devoted so much of his energy. Hto psychology, itself. Is somewhat physiological, as . one may prove by reading his "Mechanism In 'Thought and 'Words.” Hla whole work is a sort of “Rellglo Medici.*’ with, however, much more "rellglo" than "medlcl.” No kinder man ever lived. He was loved by hosui of people who never knew him, while those who did know him, and who knew him best, bad the deepest and tenderest affection for him. He moved In a distinguished circle. Lowell, HawAorne, Emerson, Motley, Prescott, the Ejanas, and many oAers were hto friends and associates, and Aougb he was. In a sense, Inferior to all of them, he was not eclipsed. He did hto work and he did It well. He was not troubled with selfconsciousness. He did not take himself too seriously. He knew his IhnlAttons, and he was not fretful under them. Though he lived to be elghty-flve years old. he reAlned his mentol grasp and hto vivid Interest In things about him to the

last. ■

The ^uble with China seems to be

that she caa’t get together.

Bllxxards are making their appearance early. When In doubt, lead an affidavit. Mr. Whitney will have hto time fully occupied as a peace-maker. F^ank O. Carpenter, the wonderful correspondent, now writing letters about China and Korea from Washington. D. C., devoted himself yesterday to Pekin, and my! but he did himself proiM. Pekin was founded, the verarious Frank says, more than a thousand years before Christ: In It lives "the son of Heaven.” alias the Emperor of China, who rules ovelr "one-third of ^the population of the globe.” This will be news to the other two-thirds, and also to a large part of the one-third. There to a wonderful wall (ever>thlng Is wonderful. indeed.) around Pekin. It it face-I with bricks "each as big as a four-doUar Bible.” which is certainly Interesting and definite. Prank has one of these bricks, and hto, he says, "wdghs abo »t twenty pounds, cr ns much as « twVyear*old baby.” .Could anything be more clearly and helpfully expressed? Some Of hto readers, he argued, might not know how much twenty pounds' Wright to, but none of them woukl fall to^now how heavy a two-year-old baby to. Everybody has seen a two-year-old baby; and all two-y».ar-old babies weigh just the same! Frank says It will be a comparatively easy Job for the Japaneat A marcia on Pekin, if their forces can qfBly **bs ttuided on the east coast of Ad Gulf of Pse*t!ht-ll. ’ That would be g brilliant/eoup by the wily Jap9-«8 brilliant ag i^r an army which desired to mareh on San Antonio to land on 'the "cast coqst” of the Gulf or Mexico. But it to Infpossible to note all tbe felicities in this beautiful and Interesting article. But one more can not be neglected. The great Frank G. uses the conjunction "and" In a way to prodnes the mbst bixarre and starUing effects. With It he links absolutely incongruous impossibilities. Hefkas never done anything finer in this wa^ than yesterday, when he perpetrated this: "They (the Chinese) bury Aetr iBmpe vines in the north tn Ae winter, and you can buy nuts

by the bushel.’’ Actually! It Is as felicitous as the statement A tbe schoolboy’s composition: “Cuba Is an Island, at! ' monkeys have prehensile tatia”

Congressman Wilson says that Major McKinley garbled his speech, and Mr. Wilson is about right. It would, indeed, be the proper thing for Mr. Hill to tender his resignation as United States Senator, but the average man is not expecting that he will.

Never did a leader start out with a forlorn hope, with forlorner hopes, than David Bennett HIU.

The Women’s Christian Temperance Union has begun war in New York and Chicago against the disgraceful billboard pictures. These advertisemenA have violated all sense of decency, and have become too bold for public tolerattce. It will be a hard reform for the W. C. T. U. to bring about. It should receive every encouragement.

“And saying I would ne’er accept, accepted.”—David B. Hill. Two editions of the Democratic textbook have been exhausted, but it to not sold "only by subscription.” It is "peanuts” against “sugar” In New York. ,

Kansas to reported to be sinking in several localities. It has long been supposed Aat the Populists w'ere standing on uncertain ground. Senator HIU was not overcome with surprise when informed of his nomination Saturday. A QUESTION LONG DISCUSSED.

Methodist Churches to 'S’ote On AdmlttluK Women to Conference,

The members of the Methodist Episcopal church throughout the country are about to hold another election on the "woman question,” which has agitated the church for three years. The time fixed for balloting is October and November. The preacher at each church must give thirty days’ notice, In order that members may have time to deliberate upon the question. Already the election has been announced in churches in this city and throughout the State. The ballots will probably be cast In the majority of churches early In November. The woman question, as It is called, has been a subject of great Interest among the Methodists ever since it was first debated by David H. Moore, editor of the Western Clmatlan Advocate, and J. W. Buckley, of the Christian Advocate, of New York. Dr. Moore clAlmed that women have an equal right with men to admission into all Arihigher councils of the church. The editor of the Eastern church paper took the stand that the Bible prohtblA woman from taking part in public worship. He quotetl the sayings of Paul, In which woman is advised to keep silence. And most of the ministers in the East, supported by a large majority of the laity, believed this argument. I’he West, however, supported Mr. Moore. In the General Conference which met In Omaha in 1892, the question was brought to a final vote of the delegates. The admission of women to the General conference was there defeated. Every one supposed that the question w&s definitely settled. But In the General Conference there was one member—Dr. J. \V. Hamilton, now a missionary agent foF the church—who favored the admission of women. In the last moments of the Conference, and amid the confusion of adjournment, he Introduced a resolution that women be excluded from the church councils, In reality this was only a restatement of the question Which had Just been decided. 'The Eastern delegates, however, thought to make their victory doubly sure, and voted to submit Ae exclusion of women to a church vot^ Hamilton’s friends commended him tat hto shrewdness in getting a second vote on a measure which had been once dw feated. As a result, it seems pos^itfaW that Dr. Hamilton may yet ssciire woman’s'admission te the Q«i«ral Conference. The vote, which Is to be taken this ^onth and next, will be under Ae direction of an election board in each church. The result of the ballot will be forwarded to the presiding elders of districts; these will forward Ae reSurns bp confereness to the general officers of Ae church. It will be several monAa before the result will be known.

The light from it falls straight upon the face or the bunch of letters which the postman ordinarily carries in hto left hand, making the addresses plainly visible wherever he may be. A Chicago man. during the whole of his lifetime, has never taken any medicine. He has constantly consulted doctors and chemists, and ait the medicine they prescribed for him he put faway tn a room.

Tbe Treasury Department has decided that the same duty shall be paid on artificial teeth as on other manufactures containing similar materials. For Instance, if made of porcelain, then teeth are dutiable at the same rate as cups, saucers and plates made of the same material.

The Rochester Post-Express tells of a clergyman whose sermons were of the best, but who was reserved and bashful. "You mu.st be more social,” the deacons hinted. To hto Sunday-school came the children Of an orphan aSylum. The next Sunday the pastor stalked across the room, and, grasping tbe first hand he came to, which happened to belong to one of the smallest orphans, cried out loudly; "Good morning, my dear sir: how are yoiir father and mother?” Nasturtium Solpie, an ec«ntric cittoen of north New York, who gwss about with a horse and open buggy, but never gets inside the vehicle, either riding on the horse or leading it. has secured from a dealer In curios a huge Chinese vase of light blue porcelain. This flow occupies the front sent of the buggy, and out of it comes a pole, on top of which is chaine<l a lar^ pink and white cockatoo. Mr. Solpie, under the circumstances, now attracts more notice than ever on bis daily shopping tours. Druggists nowadays find it difficult to keep a soda water fountain Within modest bounds, so much has the habit grown upon thousands of taking all sorts of queer drinks for the stomach’s sake. At tbe side of every small fountain must be maintained a constantly growing collection of bottles that contain nostrums for stomach, nerves and blood; phosphates for girls of fancied low vltafilw. bicarbonate of soda for men of add habit, aromatic Miirlto of i.ammonia, bismuth, and what not for troublesome stfamachs.— New Tork Sun.

Nsw Tork, October A—David Bennett Httl hae formerly accepted for the Afrd time Iff hla career tl>e DemooraUa nomination for Governor of New Tork. DanIM N. Lockwood expregoed hts desire \o rfamatn on tbe ticket with the Senator, and Supreme Court Justice Charlee F. Brown, of Newburg. was chosen by tk* Stats oommtttes to-day to flll Ae vacancy caused by Justice Oaynor's declination to run as the candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals. Thus the Democratic SAte ticket has been made complete, and this week one of tbe most aggresstirs campaigns tn the history of New York win be begun for Its election. LaA Saturday afternoon Bourke Cockran made the notification speech. He

closed thus:

”We appeal to you now to come forward and lead us tn our hour of difficulty and danger, *as you led us la our hour of vfetory. We ask you to lead us once more and Impart Ae enAusiasm which has before led ua to victory before the first blow had been struck." Senator HIU, la accepting Ae nomin-

ation, said:

"While keenly apprecAttng (he high honor conferred In being nominated for a third time by my patty for so important a position, yet 1 can but feel Aat personally I have everything to lose and nothing to gain by the consent to which you summon me. The gubernatorial office has no longer any attractions for me, and personally I preferred to remain In the Senate, where the duties ■wen gradually becoming more congenial to my tastes and where I believed 1 could more acceptably serve the Inter-

esA of this SAte.

“Walvira 'Ferswwal Infetwsis, personal considerations must have no weight where public duty Is concerned. (Great applause.) The Democratio party, Mpeclally In this SAte, to conYronted' with a great crisis, which subsAnfiaily Involves its existence as a political organisation. 1 bavg sought, dtiring the past week, aa personal and Atlmatc political friends-srell know, not only to heal and harmonise political and factional differences, but to secure some candidate, wholly acceptable to every one, to assume my place In this great struggle. In whose favor I would gladly retire. This has not proved feasible, and, recollecting that tbe Democratic party in Ate SAte has honored me In Ae past, when 1 solicited its favors. In tbe days of Us sunshine and its prosperity, 1 can not desert it now In the hour of Us danger, and in this great emergency. (Cheers.) A duty confronts me. and I shall perform It as God gives me the light to see it, let the results be What they

’may. (Great applause.)

"I shall confidently appeal to Ae pAln people of Ae SAte, who have always •QsAtned me In tbe past when 1 have espoused their cause. 1 shall present to them Ae Issue of Democracy versus plutocracy—(applause)—tbe issue of no public Axaiion except for public purposes; the Issue of opposition to the centralisation of all powers in the general government; Ae issue of personal liberty as against religious Intolerafice'

Tbe Senator spoke slowly, seeming to weigh every word he uttered, and It would be difficult. Indeed, adequately to describe the Intense interest w|th which the sentiment was received. Before Ae SAte committee nominated Judge Brown for the place Justice Gaynor deoltnsd: he was askod by telephone If be would accept, and replied A Ae affirmative. _ The Shepardites of Brooklyn profees to be greatly pleased at the deoUnatlon by Justice (Jaynor of tbe nomination to the Court of Appeals, and have not abandoned the idea of nominating a third SAte ticket. The managers say that Ae withdrawal of Justice Gaynor has weakened Ae ticket nominated at Saratoga and rendered the task lees difficult, even though they may have to make nominations by (hsmselves, owing to tbe attitude of the State Democracy.
