WASTED POLITENESS.

Country Gentleman.

A man came into the Office ON
Thursday with black eye, strip of
court plaster across his cheek, one arm
in a sling, and, as he leaned on
crutch and wiped the perspiration
away from around lump on his fore
head with red cotton handkerchief,
he asked if the editor was in. Being
answered in the affirmative, he said:

and he sat down on the edge of chair
as though it might hurt it. "Scratch
my name right off You are response

"Can it be possible?" we inquired.

all, but he hobbled out the maddest
man that ever asked COW to hoist.

The business of interviewing promi-
nent politicians on the prospects for
the next presidential campaign begins
rather early this season, and Hon. Jere
Black is the first victim. Naturally,
he has not much to say about the
prospects of a crop still two years dis
tant, but he is sure that Hancock will
come to the front again. o. course he
will, for don't we know who would 60
into the cabinet if he should by any
chance be elected? But it was cruel,
doubly cruel, to spring the tariff ques-
ton upon Judge Black; because he Is
from Pennsylvania, while his ablest
party associates favor free trade, and
because people have not yet forgotten
his fayorite little speech about "local
ISSUE" But the judge is not far be-
hind the general, for he declares IN IA
vor of "fair trade" which is % precious
ly meaningless phrase, much to be
commended to anxious democrats who
hail from protective states. The re-
ported interview has not the slightest
significance except as showing that
people absolutely refuse to worry
themselves at this date about the next
presidential campaign. and as indi-
eating happy way to escape the rev.
aDY1a issue at which both parties trem-
bic. "Fair trade" would be beauti-
full motto for a transparency. Perhaps
the intelligent tariff commission will
tell us what il means.

CRIME.

JOSEPH ADDISON, of Baltimore, one of
the principals in the recent duel in Vir-
ginia, died of his wounds July 18th.
MoLLIE MATCHES, who was tried last
week at Galesburg for completely in a
bank robbery, was sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary.

THE officers of the Logansport National
bank have discovered that the absconding
cashier, Arthur Goodwin, stole $15 500 by
manipulating the account with the Mer-
chants National bank of Chicago. He
also carried off his bond of 81 900, and
the signers are unwilling to stand the
loss.
Two years ago, at Millville, Mo-. DIR.
Roberts was murdered by DIR. Reyes, the
latter being sent to the insa ne asylum,
whence he was released last Thursday.
When he made his appearance at the
scene of the murder he was promptly shot
dead by a son of Mr.. Roberts, who surren-
dered to the officers.
A CHILD of three years was abducted
from the mansion Of Melvyn Smith, at
Montreal, and pinned to its cot was a
note demanding a ransom of 80, 900 with
in two days or the boy would be killed.
The Williams passed through the bedroom
of the mother with their prey. The same
gang once robbed Mr.. Smith of jewels
valued at $50, 1000, part of which he recov-
cred BY settling with the thieves for 81 900.
At late hour in the evening the child
was found standing alone or a doorstep
a mile from home.
JAMES ENGLISH was shot and killed by
John Lawless near Kicks Mills, seven
miles west of Platte City, Mo-, July Is.
English was crossing small bridge when
Lawless jumped out of the brush aud pre-
senting his revolver, commanded English
to throw up his hands. Instead of COM
plying the latter reached for his revolver
and thereupon Lawless fired, the ball
passing through En9lish's body. A sec
ond shot was fred by Lawless. English
fred one shot without effect. The cause
is unknown.
The yellow-fever falsehoods put forth
by Spectators have been Investigated by
representatives of the press. Memphis,
reputing itself in excellent sanitary con-
dition, was quarantined against New
Orleans, because no trustworthy informa-
ton can be obtained from the louisiana
state board. Three organizations are
working in harmony to secure immunity
from yellow fever at New Orleans; the
deaths are not half so MANY as occurred
in July last year, and there is not the
slightest excitement over the disputed
case of Disehler. At Vicksburg the sani-
tary condition is good. the lake has fair
depth of water, and the only uneasiness is
caused by the threatened abolition of ma :
tional inspection.

THE pension appropriation bill,
which has passed the senate, appropri-
ates $1OO,0O0,OO0 for pensions. These
figures are immense, and should cause
congress and the country to pause for
sober rejection. No patriotic citizen
begrudges one dollar that is paid to
worthy and deserving pensioners, but
it is very evident that fraud and hum
bug enter largely into our present pen
sion rolls, and it is this that causes the
people to complain of the recklessness
of congress in this matter. Every SEN
ator or representative at Washington
who votes for these stupendous appro-
priations without looking carefully into
them beforehand is not fit man for
his place, and his constituency ought
to bring hin to severe account
ability.

Gladstone will propose the vote to

current fiscal year. He intends to ask
commons to increase the income tax,

JOHN BRIGHT, the Quaker statesman
and member of the British cabinet,
has resigned his Office in consequence
of the bombardment of Alexandria.
His speeches in favor of coercion in
Ireland were severely criticised, even
by political friends, who were unable
to reconcile them with his former dec
larations, that force was no remedy.
Both in the house and press he was
frequently tainted with being associ-
ated with measures, IS a minister,
which he would have denounced with
eloquence had he been out of office.

A clblegram from London says the
English are coming to the conclusion
"that the affair at Alexandria was
stupid blunder." 1t was more and
worse-it was crime. England sent
her war ships to anchor in front OF
Alexandria for a purpose never made
public. Egypt begins to erect fortifica-
tions upon her own soil and posses
sions. England regarded this as
monstrous ofense and ordered the
work discontinued. This unwarranted
order was not obeyed and the Euro
peans as well as the Egyptians were
fired upon. The city was thus set up
on fire and from latter reports it seems
probable that nearly all of the fires re-
suited from the explosions of English
shells. In fact, Arab PAsha telegraph
ed the khedive that he would enter the
city and stay the destruction and fires
begun by the British, but the party
he sent for this purpose was fired upon
at the outer gate The blood-thirsty
English marines also fired upon the
Catholic sisters of charity and their
German escorts while they were in
the act of carrying patients TO the
beach. No lives were lost, but the fact
in no way helps the English, whose
whole course has been similarly I'M
warranted and brutal.
Il begins to appear that the cries of
pillage, butchery and destruction rails
ed against Arab Pasha were false and
raised merely to counteract the over
whelming tide of adverse opinion, which
the world is pouring upon Great
Britain for the bombardment of Alex
andria.
1t is said Turkey will refuse to send
her armies into Egypt, in obedience to
England's command. If this report
shall prove true, all the followers OF
the Mahommet will be cheered on and
the end can be predicted. The blood
of all the war that will follow will be
upon England's head. 40 matter how
stupendous may be the result of firing
upon Alexandria.
