The President and His Wine.

Senator Nelson is hard on Presl-
dent Arthur. The senator does not
seem to understand how one can drink
wine and be decent. Yet the thing is
possible. The excessive drinking of
wine is indecent, but neither is the
excessive indulgence of any appetite de-
cent. No man is justly censurable. who
lives soberly, even though he does not
wholly abstain from wine. If he can
drink and still be sober, that is his
strength upon which he may congratu-
late himself, and continue the indul-
.ence according to his judgment. If he
cannot drink without intOXicatiOn that
is his weakness; which he is bound to re-
spect. President Arthur is not CEN
surable because he has six wine glasses
before him at his table nor is it any
ones business if he drinks from theh all
without falling under it. If the presi-
dent should get drunk ont of his six
glasses, the people might reasonably OBJ
iect, as the day has gone by when man
NAV get drunk, even in his own house,
and be respectable.
Senator Nelson, for a preacher, ,lacketh
charity. No doubt there is abundant
cause to move him to anger in the exces
sive bibulation of our public servants on
all occasions. II Was undoubtedly Il
gross Offense against decency to get
drunk, or even to drink freely, while at
tending President Gar6eld's funeral; and
the sergeant.at.arms' bill for liquors on
that occasion ought never to have been
paid by Congress. But the president of
the United States may properly be left
unmolested in the use of wine at his
table, at least 50 long as he does it with
sobriety. We have aprofound contempt
for the judgment of man, and, especi-
ally, of legislator, who does not see fit
to leave his neighbor to do in peace that
which the law permits him to do, and
which Injuries him alone, if it Injuries
anyone.

St Petersburg Gazette.
Like all the European states Russia has
been the enemy of every other country,
and may DO 80 again ; but she has only two
enemies with whom she will inevitably
have to enter into struggle Tor life or
death-these are Germany and England.
The conflict between the Slavs and the
Germans is historical and unavoidable
necessity. AS to the coming struggle
with England Russia should prepare her
self for it by rapprochement with Ireland.
The United States of America were able
to gain their freedom without foreign help
and the liberation of Ireland is only
question of time. Ireland's victory will
be made the moro certain and speedy by
the fact that the majority in England, as
we'll as in Ireland. will certainly deman d
before long the establishment of a sepa.
rate national Parliament at Dublin.
Whether the result will be the autonomy
or the complete Independence of Ireland,
England will in either case be complete
ly paralyzed as regards her action
abroad. 1t is, therefore, undoubtedly the
direct interest of Russia that Ireland
should come victorious out of the struggle
in which she is at present engaged. We
need not openly assist her this would be
useless, and, indeed, impossible. But it
is our duty to ester into friendly relations
with Ireland, which would be the most
advantageous to us, inasmuch as they
would improve our relations with the Cath
olics generally. The best means of doing
this would be to promote Irish emigration
to Russia. The establishment of Irish colo
MES in Southern Siberia, 10 the Caucasus
and in Turkestan districts, with climate
far SURPRISING that of Ireland, would be
vtry advantageous both for the Irish and
for Russia There is much land in these
districts which would be admirably suited
for Irish settlements and if such move
ment were encouraged by the Russian
government Russia would be brought into
as close connection and sympathy with
Ireland as that which exists between Ire
land and the United States.

Mr.. KEN, who required great
many kicks before he could be made to
take hint, and who, it is said, had to
be placated with the promise of being
we'll taken care of i'm some other way, has
enabled the president and his civil ser
vice commissioners to get themselves
though rather awkwardly, out of the
hole by rendering to them his enforced
resignation. He does not improve
his case nor demonstrate that
there was any mistake in the universal
popular judgment of him by anything
contained in his letter. 1t refers to the
embarrassment of the president, mani
tested in a recent interview, and avows a
desire to relieve him from it, but Keim
loftily repels any insinuation as to his
unfitness, and points with pride to his
bill for the cure of evils in the consu lar
service as a pledge of his practical
interest in civil service reform.
He generously declares that the
cause shall continue to have his support,
and everybody will agree with the
closing passage of his letter, in which he
gives his own withdrawal as the best
evidence he can offer of his interest in
the success of the commissions work.
The record of his successor, Mr.. Lyman.
gives promise that he at least does not
deserve to be condemned i'm advance.
He was good soldier and has kept his
place in the departments and won steady
promotion by merit alone and he has
used his opportunities to make himself
acquainted with the duties of his new
position.

successful teachers in the county, holding
high rank among. and being highly es.
teemed, by his fellow teachers. Owing to
physical disability he was obliged to leave

The French cook of the New York
Lotus club who, with cleaver, cut off
the tail of a thieving cat that stole his
mackerel, has been fined $50 for cruelty
to animals, and says he was discharged
from his position because he cut off the
cats tail. This part of his story is un-
likely. He must have tried to make a
French dish of his trophy for the Lotus
eaters.

apologist," because he differs from Sen

forth to gainsay that of Rev. Kieffer on
this subject, and calling names is worse

IT is noted by some superficial jour

we're both from Berks county, and both
broke down on the same date. But this
