for the present at least. The poet has
represented the disembodied spirit of
a young person who had died prema-
turely as exclaiming;
Since 40 soon was done for,
Why was e'er begun forg
There seems to have been a good
deal Of this unaccountable precipi-
fancy about this Slavic war, both as
to its beginning and ending. South
America and Southeastern Europe
seem to resemble each other in their
ability to get up unaccountable wars,
and in space Of time hardly longer
than II takes pig to shake his whis-
kers. A diligent reading of all the
kilograms and European correspond
ence Of the Eastern papers has failed
to supply us with any satisfactory rea-
son for this sudden fury OF Servia. In
that respect II very much resembles
the schleswig- -IIolstein controversy
OF many years ago. OF that famous
embroglio Lord Palmerston wittily
remarked that only two human be-
ings had ever understood what this
ruction was about-Lord John Rus
sell and another man. The latter had
told Lord John all about it and then
died, and Lord John had forgotten
what his informant had told him.
Perhaps at some later stage Ameri-
cans may be permitted to know what
all this short-lived trouble was about.
The only clear thing about il is that
Servia will have to pay Handsomely
in solid shekels for her bloody and
unaccountable vagary.

THERE has rarely been more un-
dignided proceeding than the attitude
OF the Messrs. Brown and French
when il came to accepting the HeR-
AIDS bid for the city printing at the
meeting of the City Council Tuesday
afternoon. This journal had offered
to do the work at II figure very adyan-
tageous TO the tax-payers-at a figure,
in fact, which is just about the actual
cost of the composition, white paper
,and ink employed. When asked for
a reason for their absurd opposition
they declined to give any. The true
animus of these Councilmen is resent
ment at the right which the HERALD
possesses and has freely used of criti-
cizing their official action. In their
blind rage they are quite willing to
sacrifice the interests of the city--a
thing which should be their first con
cern. The taxpayers will be able to
draw their own conclusions.

PETER DoNAmUE, who died the
other day in San Francisco, was in
no sense an ordinary man. His ca
reer, as much as that Of any man
whose history we can recall Just now,
illustrates the splendid field which
the United States holds out TO those
who have suffered from those twin
iailers of the aspiring spirit, low
birth and poverty. Born in Glasgow,
OF Irish parents, Peter Donahue came
to this country with nothing to rely
on but an iron frame and dauntless
spirit. lie achieved enormous wealth,
his fortune being estimated at twelve
million dollars, and il was piled up
as the result of intelligent labor and
OF enterprises which were sagaciously
conceived and skillfully executed.
Such man would have had no ave-
nue. for advancement in the land of
his ancestors. The yoke OF class and
race prejudice and repression would
have worn his neck as inexorably as
IL has into those of millions of his
kindred in race. But in the free air
of the United States Peter Donahue
demonstrated the fact that the Irish
race everywhere but at home are ca
pable of mounting TO the very top
most rung of the ladder of fortune.
He was man OF large sympathies
and Of kindly impulses. He was, in
addition, sterling and unfinching
Democrat and, as Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee
OF California he held aloft the banner
OF the party with universal acceptance
to his political associates. There was
a great deal of the man about Col.
Peter Donahuc, and his death will be
mourned by thousands of Californi-
ans who appreciated his solid worth.

night was the scene OF wild excitement,
and Messrs. Parnell and Dillon were
mobbed and crowds paraded the streets
and cheered for Collan.
Parnell spoke from wagonette to a
crowd in the street amid frequent inter

lr is we'll understood ut Washing
ton that Col. James J. Ayers, Super
intendent OF State Printing OF this
State, will be urged by his friends for
the position of Public Printer OF the
General Government. The nomina-
tion to that office will probably not be
made until the commission of Mr..
Rounds, the incumbent, expires,
which will be in April next. The
President could call to this important
position no more thoroughly capable
man than Col. Ayers. As State
Printer of California he has demon
strated his fine executive ability.
Under his management the State
Printing Office has become one OF the
most important institutions in the
State, and now that he has fitted itup
TO print the school books it is one OF
the most extensive and complete es-
Establishments in the country. His APP
