An AMERICAN on EUROPEAN PoLITIcS


The PnH MAJ Gazette publishes a very interesting
interview with Mr.. w. J. Stiman. in which that
accomplished critic traveller journalist and artist
gives his views on the present European situation.
No man. The Ga.etto thinks is more competent TO form
an intelligent opinion the subject for there is
probably no living American who has the same pro-
found acquaintance with the underground currents
which decide the course Of events in the great tract
Of semi ricntalihed Europe which lies on the
other side Of Italy.n He has " in one way aud
another womcd himself into the heart of the whole
complex group of obscure problems. which, in their
totalIty. are known as the Eastern Question The
views Of such an observer are entitled to attention
and respect and are scarcely less full Of interest for
Americans than for Engllshmen
Mr.. Stillman regards with Some uncasinCss the
contest over the Lords believing that any reyou-
tonary movement never could be preudicial to tho
influence of England in Europe. while the over
throw of Mr.. Gladstouc's Government would proba-
bly, be the signal for tho most serious Continental
complications The PremIcr's waiting policy in
Egypt he holds to be cmncntly wise, for if Lord
Salisbury should come into power he would be com.
PEELED to annex the country. and then the ono
can no longer be maintained "Ihe moment yOu
show your hand" he says " the game is up and
all the other Powers will follow SUIT. Russia will
enter Armenia, Austria will 90 to NaonIca; and in
short there will be general d)birt. IN which Eng
land. having begun the upset will be unable to ex-
cro e. the controlling influence"
The other Powers Nh Stillma1 thinks. are
waiting for EngIaLo. As long "a she
refuses TO annex Egypt they Will
remain quiet Mono of Thorn desire to open the
game But were 1t once opened by her she would
lose the power of arbitration and he control of the

The occurrence Of another inccndilry fire in
Cleveland yesterday will deepen the anxiety
which the residents OF that city feel over the
development Of a strong Communistic spirit in
their city. Probably there is no place in the
country where Workingmcn have less cause for
complaint than in the Forest city. The rich
men there have made their money at home, aud
they spend il at home i'm improvements witch
give employment 10 large numbers of artisans.
Heretofore this fact seems to have been apprc-
ciatod and uolghhory feeling has pcrmcalcd
the whole fabric of is society. and has madc
the city an orderly place. Now. however, # il
evident that thc frequent uttcraucc of comiuu-
nslc sentiments by Democratic dcmogogucs
is having ba.cful effect. No one viii believe
that the Industrious and honest working people
Of Cleveland have committed these outng S.
They are plauy the Woil, of the idle wni1ns
which invest every large city, aud who always
form pant Of the crowd when a Democratic
orator speaks.

The way in which the cholera was carried to
Naples is described in Il letter which Is printed
on the third page of this paper The Govern
mont in August allowed to return to Naples
from Marseilles some poverty stricken Italians
who could not support themselves in the latter
city, and they had the germs of the disease
about them. 1t would have been wiser, OF
course, to pay for the keeping of the Italians at
Marscilles. or near there rather than to run
the risk of their carrying contagion with
them to their old homes. Still the precaution
would probably only have delayed the trouble
a little. The sanitary condition of Naples was
such that the plague was certain to appear
there sooner or later.

Masonic Benefit Association.

We were not present at the meeting of
the Association Thursday night, but we
learn from officers and members that ar
rangemcnts were perfected which will
be put in operation Immediately to re-
vive the dropping spirits of the mem
bers and put the Association on a firm
foundation, by increasing its members
and secIring to the benefieiaries the
maximum amount at the death of a
brother.
The unprecedented mortality among
the members for the last two years has
had tendency to weaken the faith of
the members of the Association in the
good results they anticipated, and the
assessments we're large, and fearing they
would continue large, many withdrew
from it, feeling that the tax was greater
than in other associations of the kind.
In few days circulars will be distrib
uted among the fraternity, which will
explain satisfactorily the new fasis Of
success.

m ust say he is a Mississippian in his
| ideas of hospitality. | do not think
anywhere is hospitality so universal, SO
warm hearted, so ready to announce
itself, as in this red-hilled State of Mis-
sissippi. Every woman seems posed
for a statute of welcome | think
other travellers will quite agree with me
in this.
By the way, hear in Jackson that
Bishop Thompson, with whom the whole
State seems to have fallen in love, would
not say "No' if invited to live in Jack
son. There is some talk of building him
house here. So far as mere house
is concerned, should not wonder if the
Bishops family were not precisely COM
Portable, even in classic Oxford. The
Varsity town is lovely to live in, but
the Bishops house, as | remember it,
was altogether too much like pocket
model of Swiss cottage for real COM
fort.
There is a bright, brisk, amiable little
lady here from somewhere in Tennessee,
who is engaged in the queerest, but most
profitable sort of business. which she
herself explained to me as if she en-
joyed the funny side of it to the fullest
extent. She buys space in some news
paper, visits town, writes up its leading
citizens, about who they are, where they
came from, political, commercial, social |
standing, and these same gentlemen pay
her for it. She is writing up certain |
members of the Legislature here. She |
assures me she makes $50 day, and |
can quite believe it. One member of |
the House says he paid two dollars and |
half; of course he can only expect two |
dollars and a half's worth of praise |
Others valued themselves at from IS to |
$25. Her letters ara to appear in a Mem
phis paper, the wise little correspondent |
tells me, and dare say when the issues
of that little evening paper reach Jack
son it will have such sale as never had
paper before.
The mistress of the mansion this year
is Mrs. William Henry. one of Gov.
Lowry's married daughters. Mrs. Henry
is young, very pretty and extremely gra-
cious and gentle in manners. She en-
tertains for her fathef with much dig
nifty, and has done great deal to make
the mansion a most delightful place to |

The sultan of Zanzibar is about to make a
great effort to free his people, and all East
Africa, from drunkenness. At the present
moment he is bound by commercial treaties to
let European traders import just what they
please, and it has pleased certain German
houses and others to import stuff from Ham
burg which they call brandy. The sultan
proposes revision of the treaty
"Since the sale of liquor was prohibited in
this town, five years ago." says the Carrolton
GA Enterprise. :" the amount of trade has
increased from 5000, 900 to 100000, and
there is not one merchant in thirty who would
not vote Con purely business principles)
against the reinstatement of the saloons
The people are beginning to find that it is
money in their pockets to suppress the liquor
traffic.
Three large towns in Illinois, which is a
high license state, recently voted prohibition
by big majority. They found that license,
whether high or low, did not lessen drunken
ness, SO they adopted the correct remedy
prohibition.
The land commissioner of the Union Pa
cific railroad reports last years sales of land
in Kansas the largest record. Prohibition
seems to have failed" to stop immigration in

A. j. CASSATT AS A ROAD SUPER.
VISOR.

Last year the people of Lower Merton
township, Montgomery county, elected as
Road Supervisor, Hon. A. J. Cassatt, Vice
President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. whose summer residence is within its
border. It was done partly as joke, as SUI
pervisor was considered about the least posi-
BILE account, and some of his neighbors
thought it playful way to give Cassatt an of
fee. To the surprise of all, he took out
his papers," and presented himself for the
oath. Then began such tearing down and
digging up as that old country district never
before witnessed. Tax collections were rigid
ly enforced, and those who were in the habit
of working out their tax, found that they had
business man to deal with. H. exacted full
work, permitted no slouching, and every man
who came to work" had to put in ten solid
hours at dollar day. He found himself
without men, as farmers preferred to pay tax
rather than be " worked in that way. With
this money in hand, he contracted at lower
rates. and at this time of the year, the town
ship roads look as they never looked before.
Supervisor Cassatt made it hot for them,
and showed what could be done in year
with real enterprise, grit and determination
He put Pennsylvania Railroad methods into
the job, and astonished those who had been
sleeping over the idea that shoveling the dirt
into the middle of the road once a year was
all that could be done.-Brist0l (P0.) o.
serUer.
