CRAZY KING LUDWIG.

King Ludwig, the mad ruler of Ba-
varia, is to be placed under restraint
and guardianship. 1t has been decided,
also, to publicly announce that he is a
hopeless bankrupt. The Landstag will
devote September and October in the
arrangement of formalities to the end
that Ludwig may be taken care Of.
We do not know why it should take so
long, but suppose King cannot be
touched in any way until after two
months preparation. The trouble with
The King is that he does not know the
value of money. He throws it away as
If it were water. That is, he used to
do so. Now, having spent all he had
and borrowed enormous sums which
he can never repay, he finds difficulty
in obtaining funds, and is, necessarily,
not so lavish.
Ludwig should have been attended to
long ago. When he offered Patti Il
preposterous sum to bring her com
pany to his private theatre and perform
for an audience consisting only of him
self the Bayarians should have known
that their monarch was going wrong,
Any man who goes to that extent on
opera should be cared for. The five
dollar limit is the one that should not be
exceeded,

nominations come to be considered, he
will of course be bound to oppose every

the President is anxious to carry out

is beset with some difficulties in this

hostility of certain members of his ad-

WHAT MIR. WARNER SAW.

The people of the South do not oh.
ject to criticism, but they do object to
misrepresentation and abuse. The
Northern man going South steps into
entirely different habits of life. Be
cause of this and of the fact that so few
who put their views of the South in
print remain there for any length of
time the South is frequently misunder-
stood and misstated.
But this rarely happens when the
visitor is observing and does not write
book after tour of not. more than a
week or ten days. Such writer, and a
most pleasant one he is, too, is Mr.,
Charles Dudley Warner, a representa-
tive New Englander, who has just been
telling us what he saw in the South. He
found there hospitality and kindly
feeling that he almost regretted because
of his inability to repay it. He found
a sincere attachment to the Union and
q profound desire for the advancement
of the whole country. He tells us that
the South's pride in the country is
greater than it was before the war. He
was impressed with the earnest and
deep feeling with which the Southern
people speak of their old leaders, and
does not see how any one could wish il
otherwise. Mr.. Warner was also i'm.
pressed with the regard for law, every.
where disccrnibe, the frank bearing OF
the people and their spirit of fair.

The builders of Republican platforms
should commune while with Mr.
Charles Dudley Warner.

THE CAUSE of Ireland is advancing.
The Earl of Devon under the bill which
recently passed Parliament has offered
TO sell to his tenants their holdings, and
the church is giving sanction and aid
to peaceful agitation. In Baltimore
last night Vicar General McColgan held
a meeting in his church and made an
eloquent appeal for funds for Mr. Par
nell to continue his great work. A
subscription was started and met with
much encouragement. In all matters
concerning Ireland this church is n
mighty power. Heretofore she has
not given active aid to the cause. But
now that she has entered vigorously
upon the work she will help greatly in
holding up Mr.. Parnell's hands.
