Every body hates egotism, yet history is
full Of it, Sesostris, one of Egypt's early
kings, was so full of egotism, that the fame
of his deeds might long survive him, that
he erected columns in the countries
through which he passed, on which was
inscribed; "Sesostris, king of kings, lord
of lords, subdued this country by the pow
er of his arms" That monarch showed
no doubt, great deal of egotsm by his
actions; but would it be egotistical to say
that DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup has done more
than subdued a country, because it has
conquered millions Of obstinate colds and
coughs, that held their victims in racks

Our esteemed contemporary, the New
York Sun, should not be severe on the
Mugwumps. Was not the Sun q Mug
wump paper last year when it bolted the
nomination of Grover Cleveland and
affixed itself to the tail of Ben Buffers
kite? 1t is true that there is difference
m Mugwumps. The Mugwumps who
boltcd Blaine refused to vote for him be-
cause lie was too bad; the Sun bolted
Cleveland because he was too good. A
Mugwump of darkness should not ''sassn
Mugwumps of light.-B0stOn HeraM.
While Mr.. Hill WINS not Civil Service
reformer like Cleveland, the Independent
demand that Cleveland would be best
supported by electing n Republican ON n
platform strongly denouncing the ad-
mlnistration was too paradoxical to suit
the mass of voters. Even the Indepen-
dents could not be brought into line en-
masse to perform this evolution. The
journalistic leaders of that wing have
thus learned that the balance of voting
strength does not rest on knife-blade
every year, and that the Archimedean
fulcrum by which power is given reyo-
luton is only occasionally found and
fitted to the lever of popular opinion. =

tained the steamer Doowoon, which was
sent to Mandalay to bring away Europeans
and threatens TO burn her If she attempts
to leave. The foreigners are not allowed
to leave Mandalay. The British expedi-
tionary force under Gen. Prendergast
will cross the frontier of Burmah on Sun

The hotilla is now ready and comprises
45 steamers, floats and floating batteries,

largest barges. Each of the floating
batteries carry the 60 FOUNDER howitzers
and are attended by armed launches.
Twelve 25 FOUNDER siege guns are wanted
on the steamers. The force numbers
10000 men, 1000 camp followers, 500
