ton, and that for time he infused unusual
briskness into the circulation of the daily news
papers of that coast. William was undouot-
edy well-meaning person. His aims
were high, particularly during the last
twenty-four hours of his career; as
high, we believe, as a third-story window.
His weapon was, we think, rifle, and he had
no hard feelings toward any one in particular.
There seems to be feeling OF friendliness
toward folks running through the Mul1gans
but it is a sort of friendliness that does not
interfere with the discharge OF public duty
William with his rifle at third-story wlndow
did not shrink from discharging his duty or
his rifle, because of any weak sentiment OF
affection for his fellow men, though he lOVed
them all. So the later Mulligan in the BARRIERS
chair with the fourteen letters which another
man wrote to some other man, and which had
fallen into his hands, unmoyed by Blaine on
his knees. and undeterred by his threats OF
suicide sternly insists upon discharg-
ing his duty to mankind by max
ing the letters public. Mulligan Is at
this moment the most picturesque figure IN the
whole political situation. Only to see him Is
TO admire him. What he will be by and by,
how he will appear when we get little beyond
him and take him in perspective, is quite an
other thing. We are not asking to-day what
his motives may be. We see his headlong
charge we know he has Blaines private
letters which contain something so mysterious
and dreadful that Blaine resorts to question:
able means for their suppression, and we are
given up to the feeling of curiosity. The c0un-
try is racked with anxiety to know what there
is in these fourteen letters that Mr.. Blaine so
breads to have made public. The mystery and
the suspicion may be sufficient to kill Blaine
as a candidate When that is done, let Ills set
up Mulligan the confidential clerk and go
round him carefully. He is character that
seems to invite study.
And as for Blaine and all the rest of the candl-
dates, let us have it understood once for all
that no man can be President of the United
States who is not ready to have published all
his correspondence foreign and domestic, So
cial and political, sentimental and financial,
from the day he learned his pot-hooks. All
the anti Blaine editors arc willing to do this,
and not to keep back their applications Tor
railroad passes even. These modest men are
ready to set the example. Just now they are
rejoicing over the successful charge OF the
Mulligan Guard. and singing,
Then well all march home together,
As slippery "a lard

JrSEIESS ENDURANCE.

On Thursday afternoon Parker, the mustang
rider gave up for the second and 1t Is 10 De
hoped the last time, his attempt to ride 3Oo
miles in Is hours. As on the first occasion,
he became blind from the rapid exhaustion OF
vital force, the loss of which no stimulants
could replace But suppose little additional
power of endurance and of will had carried
him through7 1t would simply prove that
man of Anglo-Saxon blood may accomplish as
much as q South American GanchO, or Tar
tar of Mongolia. As merely mechanical feat,
it would by no means fix the limit OF human
endurance when upheld by some powerful pur-
pose When Charles XII. of Sweden rode
from Adrianople to Stralsund in the early
Winter-a distance of not less than Loo
miles he performed greater exploit,
and 1t meant something. When Fremont
rode from Los Angeles to Monterey and back
800 miles in days of travel-he had an
important object to accomplish. Undoubtedly
many men could be found capable of riding
800 miles in 10 hours. under the spur of some
overwhelming necessity. Similar or equal feats
have been performed, over and over again, In
all ages of the world Capt. Boyton, last
Summer foated across the Channel in his
buOyant India-rubber costume, and had much
to say of his physical exhaustion, so long as
he had no rival; but the Englishman, webb,
swan the same distance with no other float
than the national pride.
The strength which is developed by sys-
tematic training, and exercised under the most
favorable circumstances, may excite curiosity;
but it is a very imperfect test OF human en-
durance. So far from establishing a standard
of physical development, it rather teaches us
what to avoid. DR.. Winship may develop
pair of IIerculcan shoulders upon small
body, but he simply shows us the uselessness
of his special lifting capacity. Weston may
walk his 12O miles in "a hours, by the aid OF
scientific feeding and grooming, but no scnsi-
bic man would desire to do the same thing.
One variety of force is always cultivated at
the expense of other equally necessary forces,
and is more OF less monstrosity. There Is
little in it to admire, and nothing to initiate.
Such performance rs that at Fleetwood
Park lacks every picturesque and heroic ele-
mcnt. One gallop around the hot and dusty
ring is the picture of the whole 300 miles to
the spectators and their chief interest must be
i'm waiting for the moment when the man, in
stead of the mustang, shall be attacked with
the blind staggers. There is no law, we sup
pose, to prevent Parker from riding himself
dead as well as blind; but the uselesSness of
the show has now reached that point where it
becomes cruelty, and it should not be repeated.
Cannot Mr. Bergh, for once, consider man as
good IA an animal, and hold his protecting
shield over the mustang-riderf

THE CRISIS IN TURKEY.

Murad Effendi has now been Sultan OF lur-
key for four days, and in that time the as
pects of the situation have considerably
changed. The treasure of the late Sultan has
been seized, and if it amounts to hundred
million dollars as reported the Turkish Gov
ernment is Immediately relieved of one OF Its
worst embarrassments. Servia and the rebel
ious provinces refuse to recognize the change
of rulers, and the former State is drifting rap
idly into war. The plan of the Berlin Con-
ference is practically nullified by the course of
England, the revolution at COnstantinople. and
the restive temper of the Servians. Asia Mi
nor and Syria are stripped bare OF troops, in
order that the whole available force of Tur-
key may be thrown against the insurrecllon.
The movements on both sides arc necessarily
rapid, and will compel the intervening powers
to equally prompt action.
A second conference between Russia. Ger
many, and Austria is not sufficient. England,
France and Italy should also be represented,
and whatever scheme of pacifcation may then
be agreed upon should instantly be presented
in such a manner as to insure its acceptance.
England takes the situation rather coolly Tor
power which Processes to be interested in the
maintenance of peace, and Russia's secret en-
couragcment of the Servians shows plainly
through her assumed neutrality. II Servia
once fairly enters into the conflict it will pass
beyond the reach of diplomacy. Sultan Murads
reforms Will no more be accepted without
guarantees than his predecessors; but there
can be no sufficient guarantee without an ac-
cord between all the great Christian Powers.
The Gordian knot is now drawn so close that
it will soon cut itself unless loosened by hon
cStly pacific hands.

The Postmaster General has promptly and grace
fully accepted the suggestion of The TRIBUNE that
il would be false economy to reduce the force EN-
ployed in the Brooklyn Post-Ohice and lessen the
number of daily deliveries in that city. The only
argument in favor of the proposed reduction was the
exceptionally small sale of postage stamps in Brook
lyp. bnt this was shown to be unsound. In order,
however to remove even this excuse, the Postmaster
Of BROOKLYN might perhaps wisely allow his carriers
to sell stamps to residents along their routes and
fins add materially to the income of the Office We
do not know that such plan would be contrary to
postal regulations and it is clear it would be great
convenience to the people of Brooklyn.

ENGLISH VIEW OF OUR RAILRoAD
REpoRrs.-The London Times Analyses
the annual reports of the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Of
the former it says that it is, all things
considered, very satisfactory. In spite
of the decreased traffic, and of the
losses resulting from the "war" of last
year with the Baltimore and Ohio, the
net earnings show a surplus after all
charges are met. And of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, it is remarked that
the accounts of the road seem to show
that in the reckless struggle over the
through traffic rates carried on last
year it suffered more than the Pepnsyl
vania did. Its main line revenue has,
however, kept up well, and the cons
pany is-keep wars away-probably
one of the soundest in the United
States.
