POSTMASTER PALMER, of Chicago an ex-
emplary official, has been turned out to make
room for S. Corning Judd, a man spoken Of
by the Chicago News as "a Democrat of the
thick-and thin old school, and rank copper
head during the war;" Palmer's offense was
Offensive partisanship, a characteristic for
which Judd is noted. Great is civil-service

COUNCILMAN BENJAMIN's explanation does
not explain. The fact that he made the mis-

supplementary explanation is more satisfac-

sale liquor houses and only thirty-fve resi-

THE impudent insinuations made recently
by correspondent of the New York World
to the effect that General Grant was mere
fgurehead in the business of writing his his
tory of the war, and that General Badeau was
the real author, has been effectively met by
letter from General Grant to his publishers
Messrs. Charles l.. Webster & Co. In replying
to the charge, the General says: II have not
only prepared myself whatever rough notes
were made, but have done the entire work of
composition and preparing notes, and no
one but myself has ever used any
of such notes in any compost
ton" The reputation of General Grant
is such that no one who knows him would for
a moment think that he would allow himself
to be party to any such arrangement insinu-
ated His history, from beginning to end,
will be his, and his only. The only aid he
has had has been that of stenographer, who
is in no sense an editor, but simply acts as
amanueDsis for the General. 1t is well that he
took occasion to set this matter right, not for
the benefit of men who have just apprecia-
ton of his integrity, but for such men as. hav-
ing no confidence in themselves, would throw
doubt on the integrity Of others.
In this connection it is pleasing to know
that very large sale has already been assured,
though no effort has yet been made in that
direction. Orders for over 100000 sets of
The work have already been received, and at
least $4,000 additional orders have come in
which have not yet been accepted. The work
will be published simultaneously in the United
States, England, France, Germany and
Canada and arrangements will soon be made
for its translation. If nothing unforeseen
happens the publishers expect to have all the
manuscript in hand inside of month. It
will require but a few days to finish the
second volume, after which it will be leisurely
revised Nearly all of volume ii has been
written since the General was confined to the
house by his present illness. The title of the
book is ''The Personal Memoirs of u S.
Grant" 1t tells the story Of his life from
childhood down to the grand review. 1t is re-
plete with interesting sketches and anecdote
of Lincoln and other great men, with whom
General Grant came in contact in civil and
military life. Each volume will contain about
500 pages, with numerous illustrations and
maps. The first volume will be issued Dec. /,
and the second about March l, 1886. The first
volume is written and revised. Only about
100 pages are needed to complete the second,
though only portion of it has been revised.
The story of Lees surrender was finished on
Monday, and revised Tuesday. The Generals
connection with Lincoln's assassination has
been related 1t was his intention to begin
yesterday on description Of the grand review
Of the federal armies in Washington at the
close of the war. Not only is the Generals
mind clear, but the story as he dictates it, is
lucid and requires but little revision His
daily average is about thirty pages, and the
work apparently fatigues him little, if any.

In view of the great probabilities of war
between England and BuSsia Il may be we'll to
look at the preparations of the two countries
for a prolonged struggle. England's whole
number of electives in her armies is stated TO
be ST., 32i while Russia peace army contains
over $50 900 men, and her war footing is said
to be 1,9l7 9O4. TO this she could add enough
men If necessary to bring her force up to nearly
5000 900 England could also increase her
armies but not to approach the number which
could be put into the field by her adver sary
In the navy however, England is greatly supe-
rior having now 80 powerful iron-clads which
could be put to sea at once, besides ten more in
process of construction. The most of these
vessels are armed with the heaviest calibered
guns ranging from % to so tons, and capable
Of the most effective and destructive service.
Russia on the other hand is said to have but 90
iron-clads, and none of these can compete in
effectiveness either of vessels or their arma-
ment with those of England. Russia has, how
ever, been recently paying great attention to
her coast defenses and has made special expert
ments with torpedoes, of which she has pur-
chased large number, so it is not unlikely
that If an English fleet should attempt to enter
any of her ports it would meet with consider.
lble disaster.
Russia's resistive power is very great, and the
gallant contest she made in the Crimean war,
when she had to fight the allied powers of
Europe, is well remembered. The present Is an
unfortunate time for England to engage in a
trial at arms with Russia for she has already
the Egyptian war upon her hands; could not
rely upon the quiet of Ireland, and has the Riel
rebellion to occupy the attention of her Cana
dian contingent.

The more Minister Phelps ways and notions
are brought to the front, the more it appears
that his is not the best appointment that could
have been made to the court of st. James. He
appears to be confirmed ango-maniac, who is
likely to be a good deal more intent on Guilt
waiting the favor of the English people than in
representing his own. The interests of this
country would be better cared for in the hands
of another style of man in the event of con-
dict of opinions between the two nations.
The action of the Russian commander upon
the Afghan frontier is stated by the latest dis
patches to be regarded by England as casus
belh, and the war feeling in Great Britain IS UP
to the boiling point. 1t is still possible, how
ever, that the differences between the two
nations may be amicably adjusted. England
has about all the war on her hands that she
wants, at present, and Russia can hardly be
anxious for an extended contest.
