The Suicide of Abdul.AZiZ.

The lives of dethroned monarchs are
short ut the East. Abdul-Aziz Khan has
outlived his reign by less than the space
of week. Fifty or hundred years ago
the "official announcement of his sui
eide would have been accepted by every
one as n smooth periphrasis for an aho-
gether different matter. To-day very
large number, in and out of the empire
he so lately ruled, will accept the same
ready explanation of his sudden death.
The history of his line as Tartar Khans,
the annals of his race in q far-reaching
line of Snltans of his and of other Turk
tribes, the earlier and more ancient story
of the Caiphate, all point to assassina-
ton as the natural concomitant of de-
position, and as in some sense the judi
cial result of the political event. But
there is no necessity in this case to
assume this revolving explanation. The
empire has passed into the hands of the
best administration il contains, and their
administration is backed by such public
opinion as exists in Turkey, "A public
opinion all powerful with the army.
Midhat pacha and his associates have
great deal to lose and nothing whatever
to gain by resort to violence. The ac-
ton of the three powers primarily repre-
sented in the Berlin memorandum waits
suspended on the chance of peaceful and
energetic reforms during the next three
months. The closer and more imme-
diate danger of an armed advance by
Servia under an ardent Philo-sclave
awaits the negative assent of Russia to
the crossing of Drina. The support of
the ancient ally of the Sublime Porte,
England, could be nothing more easily
estranged than by the assassination of
prince who bnt the other day was Eng
lands guest, and in whose behalf the
Queen of England has just interposed
her good offices. And added to oil this,
Constantinople to-day is practically
European city. Concealment in such
matter is impossible. 1t may be set
down as altogether probable that Abdul
Aziz actually has committed suicide.
In his suicide he stands alone. None
of his race and none bearing the titular
authority which conferred in his person
have before quarreled with fate or
fought with written destiny. --New York

The Hard Times.

The depression of industry and trade
is by no means confined to this country.
1t extends all over Europe. The bust
ness and financial condition of England
is so embarrassed that panic is appre-
hended, and fnanciers remember that
English panics occur at intervals of ten
years and that the last occurred in 1866.
Germany is suffering from an unusual
depression which affects trade, manufac-
lures, and commerce. Indeed, the
whole of Europe is suffering from the
business stagnation, and, as Mrs. Besant,
an earnest and unusually intelligent Eng
hsh writer, says, "wherever one turns
ones eyes the same sad story must be
read of ever-falling wage. 1t is not in
England alone that trade is dull. Right
through Europe the dull clang of arms
is heard instead of the cheerful ring of
the pick; swords are more thought of
than shovels 4; weapons Of war to slay in
stead of weapons of peace to SUPP ort.
Sorely the times press upon the toilers ;
pressure of taxation diminishing wage ;
falling market diminishing wage rising
prices diminishing wage" The con-
stantly recurring strikes in England and
on the Continent attest the truth of her
words. -NeD York Graphic.

Hard on New Hampshire.

They tell of pert New Hampshire
school teacher near Fitchburg who had

boys what the soil was in New Hamp-

teacher, highly indignant, said the soil
was as good in New Hampshire in as
Massachusetts. The scholar spunkify
denied it, and added, " Father had a bull

Cuea.

A new plant, much used in Peru, and
successfully employed by Weston dur
ing his walks, has been tested by the
veteran pharmacologist Of Edinburgh,
Prof. Christison. Cuca, as it was called
by the Indians, was corrupted by the
Spaniards into coca. Prof. Christison
proposes to restore the original name.
He tried its effects upon some medical
students, and then upon himself. He
started by walking fifteen miles after
breakfast in four stages without the aid
of cuca. At the close of his walk-a
pretty heavy one for man of seventy
eight-his pulse was raised from 81 to
ITO, and he was totally untitled for men,

influence of the new drug, he not only

End OF the Mexican Revolution.

The revolution in Mexico, which al
one time assumed formidable proper
tons, embracing, as it did, nearly all
the Northern States of the Republic,
and seeming to be thoroughly organized,
is practically at an end. The defeat OF
the revolutionary forces in Oaxaca, on
the Goth of May, with a loss of 1000
men in killed and wounded, is blow
from which the revolutionists will not
recover. The day preceding this i'm
portant battle was marked by another
defeat for the revolutionists in Tlascala.
The steady advance of the Government
forces northward and eastward has been
unbroken by single reverse. At every
point where the revelutionists have
made stand they have been broken and
scattered like chat.

Bound to 10 to the Circus.

On the arrival of circus at st. Croix,
Wis, a family who lived twenty-five
miles distant sold their only stove to
raise the money to attend it. Their
method of travelling was by means of an
OK team. One day was consumed in
going, another in Witnessing the enter
tainment, and third in returning.
Happy and contented they arrived at
their sleeveless home, and voted the cir
Gus the best thing they had ever wit
messed, and the money well and advan-
tageously invested.

A Battle With Rattlesnakes.

A letter from Milford, Pa, says: John
Quick, David Angle, George r. Bosler
and Frank Quick, quarrymen, a few days
ago started into the woods in search of a
new stone quarry. On reaching Red
Ridge, six miles north from Milford,
they were suddenly startled by loud
and continuous noise, caused by rattle
snakes. Being aware that they were in
the vicinity of den of these reptiles,
but not knowing the exact locality, they
concluded to follow up the sound, and if
possible fnd the den. After walking
through the thicket for few rods, they
found themselves on the verge of a large
mass of loose shell rock, at the extreme
north end of which they discovered a
black, moving mass of rattlesnakes bask-
ing in the sunshine. A stone dropped
among them by one of the party caused
them to rattle fercly, and the buzz that
followed was almost deafening. Each
quarryman then procured long heavy
stick, and approaching cautiously to
within reaching distance, began the bat
tie. The rock upon which the reptiles
lay was surrounded, and rapid blows
were brought to bear upon them. John
Quirk, tall, powerful man, by bringing
his huge club to bear across the top of
the rock, killed fifteen of the snakes at
one blow The combat continued for
nearly half an hour, when the snakes
that were not killed managed to escape
by crawling into the surrounding rocks.
The party counted nearly three huu-
dred dead reptiles, some of them measur-
ing nearly five feet in length and having
from fifteen to twenty rattles.
This den is within about six miles Of
the famous Ball hill den, in Shohola
township, where thousands have been
killed during the past ten years.

walked the distance without fatigue, but
his pulse stood only At 80 and fell in two
hours to'73. The results Of the expert
ment proved that the chewing Of cuca
removes extreme fatigue and prevents
it, and'that no injury whatever is sus-
tanned. Ii has no effects upon the men
tai faculties, but acts directly upon the
tissues and sustains the strength OF the
hearts action. tr

The Cattle Business in Western
Texas

The day of the old-fashioned cattle
business in Western Texas has passed
away, at least for time, if not for
ever. The millions of cattle We for
merIy had have mostly been driven
north, and the cattle still remaining
are all passing into the hands of a few
men with immense ranches and i'm
mense herds. We see it stated that
Capt. Dick King, of Santa Gertrudes,
the great cattle king of the West, is
now making an immense cattle drive.
lie has now ell route for Kansas $4,000
cattle. There are now twelve differ
ent droves, each of 200 TO 1900 cat
tie. Seventeen men guard each herd.
including the cook and head man.
They get $25 per month, cook $50 and
head man 800. Eight hundred horses
are used. Beside the cost of the stock,
for the months of travel, the expendi-
turc for labor and food alone will
amount to $4,000. 1t costs this sum
to get them to Kansas ; and they may
remain unsold eight or nine months.
Captain King furnishes nothing but
horses and food. Captain Thos. Rey
non has had the entire charge of gath
ering, preparing and putting upon the
road these great herds of cattle, rep
resenting, at 1925 head, 5000, 900. The
labor has been immense, and success
requires ability and energy of the first
order.

The New Tax Law.

We have received a pamphlet copy
of the new tax law, and had intended
making a synopsis of the principal
changes made by it. But we find this
work done in an article published in
the Commonwealth, which we copy,
below, from that paper:
The following are the material
changes in the old law. The interest
on unpaid taxes is raised from rs to so
per cent. Railroads, Instead of being
assessed by township assessors, are as
sessed by board consisting of most
of the State officers.
When all injunction has heretofore
been granted to restrain the collection
of taxes, there was no penalty if the
injunction was not sustained. Under
the old system large corporations
would get out injunctiens for frivo-
lous reasons and keep them in court
for long time merely for the purpose
of stavine off the time of payment of
taxes. Under the new law if an in
junction is not sustained, the party
getting it has to pay so per cent. inter-
est during the time the Injunction
stands. This will put a stop to that
business.
Assessments of real estate are only
made every other year. Under the old
law parties who held United States
bonds on the LIST of March, got rid of
paying taxes on the amount SO invest
ed for one year. Under the new law
they have to show what proportion of
the year their money was invested in
bonds, and escape taxation only in pro-
portion to the time that money was SO
invested. Under the old law the State
Board of Equalization could only raise
or lower the assessment of land in a
given county SO much per acre; one
piece of land might be worth $500 per
acre, and another 800, and the Board
might raise 1t, say fifteen per cent. an
acre, which is unfair. Under the new
law the State Board says that a county |
must raise so many dollars for State |
and the county clerk will fix |
The per centage that it will take to |
raise the amount required. Under the |
present law there is nothing made by |
low valuations. If Douglas county |
actually has, say $40 ,000, 900 of property, |
and Shawnee the same, they will have
the same amount of State tax to pay. |
regard to the amount returned |
by the assessors. The State Board |
have the equalization to make, and the
law is so that there will be no lodging
it. Property can be put at its actual
value and then the rate per cent. will
be low, but if any county chooses to
return its property at half its value the
rate per cent. will be double.

A Mule Story.

The associate dispatches from Wash
ington on last Saturday say the charges
and insinuations contained in letter
dated at Louisville, which was printed
in New York paper this morning,
charging that Secretary Bristow some
years ago participated in collecting a
fIaudulentmule claim and took half the
proceeds, is pronounced by him to be
wholly false. He did argue the case
referred to before the court of claims,
in the regular practice of his profess
sion, at time when he held no public
office, aud the court adiudged it just
claim, Judge Drake dissenting on legal
grounds alone and not because fraud
was anywhere charged. The claim
was paid by the Treasury upon the Or
der of the court. Bristow did not
take half, or anywhere near half, of the
claim, but was paid a very usual fee in
such cases. He had nothing whatever
to do with the case in any of its stages
before the Department, or in its prepa-
ration, but after the proofs were taken
he arranged the case and argued it be-
fore the court. 1t is reported at length
in volume seven of the opinion of the
court of claims.

Van Horn Not On 1t.

Are the people of the country going
mad because few official scoundrels
have been unearthed? From the daily
charges and counter-charges being
made, one would almost conclude that
all faith in official integrity had failed
and that to set a man down as scoun-
drel it is only necessary to know that
he holds some official position. After
all, are we no more capable of self
government than the enlightened
French? Will not the reaction from
this general distrust tend to loosen
official character hereafter? Most
heartily do we deplore the effect of the
wild, senseless charges being daily
made by partisans. Here we have
dark hints against Bristow and now a
charge that Hon. II. L. Van Horn, of
Kansas City, is mixed up with a st.
Joe whisky ring. AS to Bristow we
have as much faith in his integrity as
we have in any human being, while we
believe that no man who knows Van
Horn, be he enemy or friend, will
squarely assert that they believe him
guilty of dishonorabo act, much less
an attempt to defraud the Govern
ment through the whisky business.
Since writing the above we see that
the Supervisor telegraphs from st. Joe
that the charge against Van Horn is
wholly false.
