The sensible young man is now living near
Council Bluffs, Iowa. Not long ago he
became involved in a quarrel with no less
than five different men. and challenged each
one Of them to mortal combat All accepted
and were upon the ground in dee time Then
the hero of the affair said he wouldn't fight
them all at once, bui would fight the best man
first. The five began discussing the question
vi who was the best man, and got To fighting.
They struggled ever the subject for about a
quarter Of an hour, the champion sitting on IA
log as umpire, and when the question was
finally seuied, the best man" could have
been whipped by anybody, aud wasn't ready
10 fight. The challenger walked of with all
the donors, aud was proud and happy. This
j. the story, aud is probably a lie.

IF it be true as reported, that the Bosnians
are to any great extent in revolt, and if the
whole people of the valley Of the Save are up
in arms, then the Turkish authorities cannot
suppress the trouble without such acts on
their part as will greatly excite the sympathy
of the people of the neighboring countries
for the insurgents, hnd Austria may find her.
self implicated before she knows it, Chris
tianity is generally the pretext Of govern
ments. If Christianity affords good reason
for interference with power with which
they wish to interfere they are ali vigorous
and even furious Christians bat if they
have reasons which incline them to leave
their neighbOrs alone Christianity appeals
in vain Thus Turkey might, for all the
governments would care, butcher her in
surgent subjects into civility, unless the
crisis in her affairs came at moment when
they thought themselves able to benefit at
her expense and then they would compel
her to ''do justice" or conquer the
country and do justice themselves.
But the people are less subject to political
reason, and the populations of the two banks
who are on one side in the Austrian Empire
and on the other side in Turkey, will practi-
cally be one against the Sultans soldiers.
Every throat cut in Bosnia will turn out
gun in Slavonia, and deep excitement will
spread through the Russian Church when
the story spreads that the Mohammedans are
hunting the Christians in the border lands.
Altogether it seems very likely that the Gar
and the Austrian Emperor may yet feel them
selves called upon to propose their media
tion, and may peacefully loosen the hold of
Constantinople on the mountaineers. If the
subject should come up in that shape it will
not be settled without Berlin, and if Prince
Bismarck is still the same power the upshot
will be that the Sultan will be driven beyond
the crest Of the Balkan. 1t will be great
card to this "enemy Of the faith" and one
that he will use to the utmost to be able to
do for Christianity in the Danube Valley what

this State Two of the strongest points in
his career are his war upon the Canal Ring
and his destruction of the Tammany Ring.
These victories will be weaknesses, because
Tammany and the Canal Ring are strong in
many ways. The Canal Ring is powerful
enough to defy the Governors investigation
and the Tammany Ring is master of many
court and jury and will be felt in the cleo
tions.
The problem before the democrats and re-
publcans is, Who is the man9 AS for the
republican nomination, we believe that it
will be General Grant or some leader whose
name is not now mentioned in connection
with the Presidency. AS for Governor Til
den, as matters look now, he will either be
nominated by acclamation or he will be de-
fcated by some such combination as defeated

is concerned, our advice to him is to make
haste slowly

THE BEEF-EATERs' QUARREL. repub-
lican party in the State of New York is not
very large, but it is large enough to quarrel.
We read that there has been meeting OF
the 'anti-administration republicans" who
propose to form q new organization: Upon
looking into this movement we discover that
the only point of difference between these
mutineers and those who now control the
Custom House is that they are outside while
the others are inside. Since the time of the
Garden of Eden there have always been the
ms and the outs, and they have always
fought. The hungry man on Wall street
takes different views of political loyalty from
the we'll fed clerk who sits within the great
granite building and calmly contemplates his
salary and the Collector and the third term
from the window. If these republicans Sc
cede from the old organization, and are really
serious in their withdrawal, they should put
their dissatisfaction upon some definite basis,
some principle. Unfortunately, the great
mass of the party is content to crawl at the
feet of the President in subsection and to
show no sign of mutiny unless when the
Offices are changed and they are threatened
with dismissal

American Art at the Centennial.

Very little that can be discovered is being
done to make the American art department
Of the Centennial Exhibition worthily rep
resentative of the art of the country Some
few artists have been nominated here and
there to act as agents and coll ectors but
this is not enough. Something must be
done in an organized manner to awake in
terest in art circles, and this can be best
accomplished by the organization of an art
committee representing the great body of
American artists From Philadelphia, for
such a committee, might be taken
p F. Rothermel, w. T. Richards, p.
Moran, L r. Lambdin, J. Hamilton, S. ].
Ferris from Boston, Foxcroft Cole, George
Inness, A. F. Bellows and William Hunt.
Chicago might be represented by Leonard w.
Volk and A. Healey. New York, as the great
centre of art in this country, would give
such men as E.. F. Church, Edward Moran,
Launt Thompson, Quincy Ward, Bierstadt,
James Hart, r. S. Clifford, j. G. Brown,
Eastman Johnson, Whittredge, Jervis Nc
Entee, McGrath and G. H. Story. Other
gentlemen prominent in art whose names do
not just now occur to US, might be added to
this National Art Committee, and the
result would be strong move
ment to bring out whatever is best in
American art for the Centennial. 1t would
be the business of this committee to collect
and arrange whatever works could be pro-
cured from the studios and private galleries
of the country. The works ought to include
paintings by the earlier American artists,
from Trumbull to the men of the present
day. 1t would be of great interest to foreign
visitors and would do much to remove the
impression that in their anxiety to promote
the material development of the country
Americans have neglected the cultivation of
the high arts

sundny Ercursion Peri1s.

A correspondent calls our attention to the
fact that the boat that leaves New York for
Long Branch on Sunday morning raced down
Northfeld, that plies between the Battery
and Staten Island. There was nothing to be
gained in this race as the boats were not 60
ing to the same destination. They were
excursion parties, and minute or two one
way or the other would have made no differ
ence To crafty reckless spirit both boats
were put in peril and the comfort and lives
of large number of passengers were endan-
gered A contemporary publishes letter
from James Simonds, No. Alt West Forty
fourth street, who reports that he left Rock
away about sunset Sunday on boat which
carried three thousand passengers, the Will
lam Cook. The boat was so densely crowded
that one passenger fell overheard and was
drowned.
This Sunday excursion business in New
York has become q summer feature Moth
ing is more grateful than for the people to
leave their homes in the morning, spend
a day on the Bay and return in the evening
But those who manage the excursion boats
are animated only by desire to make
money. They care nothing about the COM
fort of their passengers. If they can crowd
three thousand people upon boat built for
O thousand they make more money, and that
ends the matter. 1t is not long since one of
our excursion boats was fined for overcrowd-
ing, and we rejoice that the Secretary of the
Treasury did not remit this penalty. There
should be some discipline upon these vessels,
or we shall have some terrible calamity that
will startle the country. This story of the
racing of the Long Branch and Staten Island
boats is painful one. There was no neces-
sity for it and nothing to be gained by it.
