Jealousy between Servia and Bulgaria is one
of the minor forces III the Balkan situation, but
in the temporary suspension of European
rivalries 1t is exerted with marked effect. The
Servian Premier has appealed to the Powers to
maintain peace GU the lines of the Treaty of
Berlin, and expressed the hope that Eastern
Roumelia will remain subject to the Sultan.
Apparently he is willing to disband King
AIilan's army and to have the military prepare
tions barren in result, provided Bulgaria shall
be kept under restraint and deprived of the
advantages of the re evolution. These Balkan

States ought to be in alliance for common enus
instead of plotting against one another anu

Assistant Secretary Coon's letter of resigna-

Civil Service reform pretences of the WASH
ington Administration. After a service of nearly
twenty years in the Department he is asked to

that any intelligent person was ever deceived

The outlook in Virgini a is favorable for the
Republicans Great interest centres in the
contest there, because 1t is the only Southern
State in which there Is even pretence OF far
ness in the appointment of election officers. In
the other Southern States all the registers and
inspectors of election are appointed by the Gov
errors or the Legislatures. This secures Demo
Gratis III exclusive control of eve y polling place
and the result is then merely matter of count
ing That is why the Southern States remain
"solid," even in the absence of shOtguns. But
in Virginia the law passed by the last Bourbon
Legislature, designed TO make that State
"soid in the future, has not yet taken full
effect. Hence there is one chance left for the
Republicans on Tuesday. If they carry the
State fair elections will be secured there for the
future, and another State will be added to the
Republican column.

Pioneer Press;-The Bill introduced in
the house by Mark Ward, providing for
tho removal OF the UAited States court
from Yankton TO Mitchell, is one of the
results of combination recently formed
for the purpose of defeating Pettigrew
and his followers. This combination is
composed of the northern members, the
delegation from the Seventh district, and
enough from. Central and South Dakota to
swell the entire number to twenty-fiy on
thirty in all. thereby making good work
majority in the house. The probabilities
are that the combination will hold together
during the remainder of the session, the
result being the complete defeat of the
capital removal scheme, and the further
ance of any and all measures brought by
those inside the combination.

THE REASON WHY

Ny son, there is nothing on earth so
mysteriously funny as the newspaper ad-
yertisement. The prime, first, last and
all-the-time object of an advertisement is
to draw custom. 1t is not. will not, and
never will be designated for any other
human purpose. SO the merchant waits
till the busy season comes and his store is
50 full Of custom he can't get his hat of,
and then he rushes TO the newspaper and
puts in his advertisement. When the dull
season gets along, and there is no trade,
and he wants 10 sell goods so bad he can't
pay his rent. he takes ont his advertise
ment. That is. some of them do, but
occasionally leyelheaded merO hant puts
in bigger one and scoops all the business.

You couldn't stop people from Duying
everything in the store if you plant a

time the advertisement is sent on its Loly
mission. 1t makes light for the dyertise-
