'1 In a letter printed on Wednesday on this j page, Congressman Frrcn callod tho atteu- tlon of Now Yorkers to tho mannor In which I , tho Hon. J. Sloat Fassctt llgured In tho ' Houso dobato preceding tho vote on the lo- cation of tho World's Talr. V Tho last speaker for Chicago was Mr. BPniNUEit. Ho summed up the Chicago case, and registered In emphatic words 4 Chicago's pledge: "Wo will ask nomonoy fiom Congioss, except what will bo required for tho buildings and exhibits of tho Gov- emracnt. Plvo or six bundled thousand L dollars will bo ample for thlt." j But It was not this piomiso of tho City of j Fftlso Pretences that did tho business. Mr. fc BriUNOUt had the sagacity to porcclvo tho Iramenso Importance to Chicago of tho attltudo toward tho T.ilr ns- , j sumod by tho lion. 'Ihomas C.

Ho exhibited to tho Houso of Ilopi omental U 03 tho I f obstructive) intilgues of tho Now York ma- ' f chlno Kopublicaus.

Mr. Gladstone on Ills Partj's Prospects. Mr. Gladstone Is no doubt well advanced in years, but even his political enemies can not detect a trace of senility in his intel lect. He has just written an ai tide for tlio Nineteenth Century, w liich Is n model of clear, sober, and cogent reasoning. Taking tho data furnished by tho general elections of 1883 and 1S3G, aud by tho numerous by-elections which have sineo occurred, ho enters Into a series of calculations to demonstrate that a Llbeinl triumph hi tho noxt contest is certain unless, of couise, some counter ngency not yet iu v lew should bo Interposed. To onlookers It seems ovldent that tho only event gravo enough to materially change tho situation would bo Mr Gudstose's re moval from tho public stage. It is admitted by Mr. Gtadstont. that the Inferences drawn ltom by-elections must al ways fall short of absolute demonstration. But lioalllims tint there never was a tlmo since tlio fli bt Ilofurm act when faith could so reasonably bo reposed In tho Indications nflorded by local contests. At formor periods tho struggles over vacant seats have been comparatively tame, and havo scarcely at tracted notlco fiom tho country at largo. Dining tho piesent Parliament, on tho other hand, tho by-elections havo kept tho nation In an almost perpetual fever, because It was known that In each of them each paity had btrlven to develop Its full strength; that tho numbers polled largely exceeded thoso of 1S30, and thus moro fully lovealed tho public mind; and that with tho Irish question in tho foieftont thero had been ralPil iu every cao the samo great Issuos as would gnvvin a goneial election. It Is al-o considered worthy of lomaik that tho gains inndo by tho Llbjial paity through local contests have 'not beou duo to any fnvorab'.o accident, such as the occurrence of particulaily numerous vacancies in bcot lantl and iu Wales, which are Liboiul strong holds. On tho contrary, It has been In tho iuptiopollt.111 dhlilct, which in 18i3 had Hhonn itself exticmely favoiablo to Tory ism, that a disproportionate number of seats lino been vacated. A fair deduction from this fact would bo that tho by-oloe-tlons, viewed collectively, havo boon less favoi.tble to Hid Glad itoiilans than a gen oral election would bo. Assuming, iiowpvoi, tint tno tigures or tho last llvo yens nio trustworthy, let us B'o what Mi Cr,u)STovi; nnkes of thorn.

Thus tho British constituent les which havo spoken are 8), whllo the total number of British constitu encies whichvvill havo tospeak at a general election Is M7, nighty-nlno plncos havo mailo over to the Liberals a gain of eighteen seats. How many vv 111. "fi7 glvo them? Well, si Is tody? asl Is to CI. mid 18 seats multi plied bv(.l will glvo IU seals, tho prospec tive Gladstonlan gain. This gain would put tho Government In a minority of 5.1, leaving ltolind out of tho estimate But, as wo have said, tho 8'l constitu encies liltlieito at copied as a snniplo nio not n fair sample. This was shown In lSS"i, when they spoke as they speak now; that Is, they vvoro ns nenr as may bo equally divided, llutwhllo the-o clghty-nlno con st Itui'ticles gave the 'iorls nn equality with thuGlitlilonluna, tha i-ouiitiy at hugognve the ltttrrn nnlorltyof 83. By pmltyof leasonlng It will do the bntna again.

Still the majority obtained bv tho Iilbials in Gurnt Britain would, ut the lowest llgure, bilng this up to an nggiegato majority of 101, and nt tho highest might cany It to ltO. Mi. UiAiisroNE submits that, even with some deduction fiom the llgure last given, thoipsult of tlio election would put out of Joint Loul Kamsiiuiii's cherished " play of the othei parts of the Constitution." This phi ase, of course, masks the loiy leadei's Intention to block the passage of a Homo Kulo bill lu his stionghold, the Houso ol I.otds. But such leslntnuco will be at the ppril of the heredltaiy legislators If the will of tho country Is pronounced In a decisive aud peremptory wav.

Tlio Governor of Oklahoma, the Hon.

Governor Steele deacilbes the prepara tion at tho capital: "When I left Onthrle a large nnmber of men were training rare horiei for the t rami ruin on the day when the land will he oeneJ There It a race track Juet out at the edge of the town on the prairie There 1 a harb Hire fence around lu and a man etandi at the gate 1th aclubin bit hand to keep intruders out.

Bfnri-led Life With, Literary Men. To Tnr EniTon or The Sun Sir: Vonr quotation from Andrew Lung's essay In i,omau'a Maoaxine headod "Don't marry literary men," draws forth a few remarks fiom me, as I fe.it that there aro many young women who will look upon such punny-scrap writings In a serious light. In the first place, women should know enough to attend and conduct their own busi ness undirected and unmolested by men. Secondly, love for a man does not necessarily meau that each and every minute of the bus band's time should be devoted la listening to what his wife has to say. Thero come moments when woman wants solitude, time to think and dollbernte. And every woman whorls Intelligent enough to think and act Independently knows very well that ovary man must do the same thing. Mr. Lang is mistaken when ho thinks it only misery to live with a literary man. l'orsootb, even were it so. 1 would rather by far havo mi Intelligent person about me. mooils and all (not meaning that all litterateurs aro intelli gent), than to havo the constant company of a person who Is led by the nose like a blind mule In a salt mine, ... , . ., Then too.Mr.Lang.lfhelsrealljstudious.must know tbatwnmanto-duy Is also deeplyluterested and moved by some of the horrible and shock ing doings of society, which are nptto make the most Intelligent of them moody nlso. Tho average young woman Imagines (a thought put forth Indium novels nml other such litera ture) that ' ,hls (noughts must be nor thoughts." This is nrrlevous mistake. If 'not a malicious lie on the part ot authors whobo bsvbltuully use tho expression In one way or another. The trouble Is that young people jump into matrimony without the sticliteht knowledge of each other's charauerlsilos and natures blindly but firmly believing thnt marriage settles everythlng-mental diaerences and prnsical weaknesses- In fact, the average young person Is su montally weakened by In dustrial worriraent that montal preparations to inairlase are altogether strange lo them. The real scleuce ot a married life is the prep aration for It. Mentally, there Is no huc'i thing us a" woman's Bphoro" or " man's Bplutie In lile" What Is right for a man to know Is equally right foi a woman to know and Tim vorea Aril I vonture to say that the average woman will never befroo. mentally and pbvxi cally. before she discovers this undenlabio fact. Conditions ot to-dny. seriously conhldeied, no man will ovor liberate woman, nor can woman liberate man. l.ach person. with a kindly feel log and consideration for tho rights of all oth ers, must pursue a course of sol -thought and Rtudy, Individual culture and pernonal purity. It will be only when thn world become, through this process of solf-educatlon and nelf-iet1ne-ment moie enlightened, or at loast civllled, that the average mat rlace will be a thoroughly happynne.lotollectuallyhonei't and physically J nire, whether husbands are brlcklayers.doc ors, clerks, barristers, litterateur, or what not Li.Fj.on Mkt 1'ii AMMTHDAM AVCNLT, NFW 10I.K City.
