takes what little snow there is on

When the Republic was a groat
ileal younger she often fler in tho
face of the proverb as to choosing
young men for action and old
nit n for com. si 1. After along
time she has done so again in
sending Allen Thorndike Kioe to
Russia. Mr. Rico is distinctive
ly an aggrcs.-ive young man, with
a h-nlthtv mind, a line literary
training following upon a tingu-
Iarly borough education, and an
indomitable courage. When he
took poscssion of tho Xortii Amer
ican Review a few years ago, he
was less than twenty-five years of
age, and the stock of the maga
zine was practically worth less
than twenty-five cents. To-day
it is tho most fortunate of the
high class monthlies.
ft was expected that opposi
tion lo Mr. Rico's confirmation
might bo very strong among dem
ocrats who believe him to lie the
author of the Arthur Richmond
letters, which so scored Bayard
and his policy. There being ap
parently no proof of the author
ship, tho oppo.-ition may, howev
er, be futile, as it would of course
bo, in I lie end, useless.
Patrick Kgan's nomination for
MimVter to Chili is regarded as a
graceful recognition of the Insh

can do for Hume Rule while in

bo the ncnt Irishman appointed
to a prominent office.

lap jumped up, rille in hand, and
sectng Mr. Crump prepared to
deal with him, he staitctl for his
cabin, two miles away, and was
not harmed.
He (Dunlap) has said that he
