A Foolish Feat.

New York Special: Drunken men
it is often said 60 through dangers
unscathed where sober men would no
doubt be killed or badly injured.
Such was the case to-day at High
Bridge. A young man named John
d. Baumiey, while intoxicated gave
a leap from the top of the middle
arch to the river, a distance of l45
feet. He was taken to the shore ap-
parently none the worse for the dar-
ing feat. Brun5ey and a paaty Of
friends came from Harlem in boat
and landed aU the dock at the west
end OF the bridge. On landing they.
entored a boat-house and drank con-
siderabiy Of beer. Brumley taking
more than any Of the others From
their conversation, which was loud
and NOISY, the bystanders learned
that a bet for the drinks bad been
made that Brumley would not dare
to leap from the bridge. He start
ed at last alone, amid the ieers Of
the few about, and made his way to
tie center Of the bridge, unnoticed
by those .carousing III the beer shops
at that end. His companiens were
startled to see him take off his coat
and shoes, cross the railing and wave
his hands Fearing fatal terlnin-
alton Of the reckless mans evident
determination to perform the feat

Too Much Confide once.

A Washington dispatch says: : "The
amount appropriated for public build
ings in different parts of the country is
between $1,000, 900 and So 900 900. The
various sums are fifty per cent. of what
it is estimated will be required in each
instance. So the contracts to be let,
with the real estate, will amount to
between $4,000, ,OsO and $12,OOO,OOO
The contracts will be made by SUI
pervising Architect Hill, and under
his direction the money will be ex-
pended. Who is Mr.. Hill, and who
are his favOrites? Has there not been
all oversight in not providing checks
and limitations to insure the proper
expenditure of this great sum of
money?
If there existed no facts bearing di-
rectIy on the matter, if it were not
positively known that certain persons
have great influence over and close
relations with Mr.. Hill, this inquiry
would be proper, and the suggestion
of additional security appropriate.
No one who understands the actual
state of the case entertains doubt or
the subject. Ten or even five millions
of dollars is tao large sum to be spent
by one man, more especially with tina
Ring i'll possession of the Treasury
Some things will require the early at
tention of Congress. There are man.
more that will require attention JUS
as soon as there is a Congress acting il
the interests of the country.

Fosters Hypocrisy.

General Steedman makes the follow
ing pointed observation in the Toledo
Democrat on the position OF Governor
Foster:
"We arc unable to decide whether
the speech of Governor Foster at Ely
ria is hypocriticai, lying cant or the
result of a marvellous DIVERSION One
wear ago, when President Garfield was
ianguishing and dying, the GoYernor
was trayeysing the State ia league with
the brewers and distributing ilfty dol
lar bills 10 men tc treat the Boys iibel-
ally' 10 vote for his reelection. The
Governor saw no danger co sound pub-
lie morals in bribing men with whisky
and beer to vote for himself, nor indi-
cations of liquor dealers rebellion
in the payment Of money by lie brew
ers to the Republican campaign fund,
but he considers it really alarming Tor
the brewers TO refuse TO pay more
money TO secure Republican success.
He pronounces the refusal q rebel
lion.' A rebellion against What? The
Republican party, and that the Gov
ernor holds 10 be treason 80 the Gov
ernment. Foster ought not 10 lie
afraid of rebellion. He made money
out of the war of the rebellion, and
ran no risk.
The statement of Governor Foster
that the most strenuous resistance to
the Sunday Liquor Law is-in those
cities where the Democrats have con-
troll of the officers charged with the
duty of enforcing the law is paipahly
false, as the situation ia Cincinnati
and Cleveland shows, Lying about
the result of Republican legislation
even by a Governor, will do the Re
publicans no good. If the Governor
has become an honest convert to pro-
hibltion, let him say SO, and own up,
as converted sinners usually do, his
past misconduct, i'll using whisky and
| beer to secure votes. If he has decided
to fight a square battle for prohibition
he can do the cause much good by
showing up his former methods. Whilt

Observation-Disclosures.

:. LONDON, August 1.-THE King and |
y ueen of Corea have been assassinated /
and the kingdom is in state OF insur-
rection. The insurrectiOn in Corea has
been in existence for several days, and i
grew directly out Of the opposition of
the great majority of the COreans to
the treaties recently entered into by
the sovereigns with England and the
United States. The treaty with the
United States was particularly objec-
tionable to the Coreans, as under its
provisions, the country would become
almost as accessible to foreigners, par
ticularly Americans, as China has been
recently. The King and the Queen
openly pretended to favor these treat
les OH the ground of progress but the
people never believed these pretentiOns
were genuine, and claimed that they
were the result of undue influence, if
not open bribery. China has sided
with the Coreans in the opposition to
the treaties, especially against that
concluded with the United States
through Commander Shufeldt, of the
United States navy. But this Chinese
opposition was entirely diplomatic and
secret. The misunderstanding which
arose in China over the alleged asper-
sions which Commander Shufeldt was
reported to have made during his ne
gotiations, recently, upon the charac-
ter of the Chinese Empress, intensified
the Chinese hostility in the matter,
but the attitude of the COrean sOver-
eigns remained firm. The leaders OF
the Corean opposition to the treaties
organized a general political move
ment and preached for its inspiration
everywh here that the treaties were de-
signed for the actual transfer OF the
country to foreigners, and succeeded
in SO working upon the preludices oil
the people against foreigners, AS to so
lidify them against allowing the King
to carry out the treaties. The result
was that the sovereign soon found
himself without support among the
people, and openly sought that OF IA
pan and the foreigners in the haLhoF
The Queen openly sided with the King
as she had an ambition for Iore'gn as
sociation.
The dissatisfaction of the COreans
! soeu became insurrectionaFY, ann IN
ally revolutionary, and As it WAS if a:e'
has terminated in the assa&slnat1on o
both the King and his Queen.
Grave complications are ilkelF Il
result from these assasEInat'0ns, an
: the revolution OF the Ccceau5 ag'Ana

States and England in opposition boti
to China and Corea, with the posslbil
: ity of Russia being added to the latte

The Bellefontaine Examiner very
aptly saws: "That our American tar
iff system protects capital employed in
manufactures, and protects it with a
vengeance, no one denies. That this
capital, 30 protected, furnishes employ
Inent to limited number of laborers,
is also true. But this is not the end of
the operations of the tariff. The la
borers thus provided with employment
draw their meager pay on Saturday
nights, and before the current werk is
ended, have been robbed of more than
forty percent. of it through the opera
tions, direct and indirect, of this same
.s4stem Of protection. This last PROPOSE
ton is as certainly true as the first"
