Do You Want "A Eoot-iack?

Chapman, the tobacconist at Seventh and
Orange streets, has boot-jack which he is
giving away, There are beautiful nickle
plated boot-jaclSs, not only well adapted for
drawinga boot, but for throwing at cats
that persist in holding midnight concerts on
the back yard fence. But there is condi-
tion upon which these boot-jacks are given
away. A certain number of tags ale put in
as many packages of tobacco and the person
purchasing the package containing tag,
gets boot jack. A certain number OF
packages cannot fail to produce the desired
boot jack. Now all who hvve been fretted
into bad humor over taking off tight boots
should lose no time in going TO Chapman's
and getting one of his beautiful nickel PLATED
boot jacks, in the manner prescribed.

A NEW YORK ORATOR.
LHcius Van Allen, the Man with
the Rectangular Mouth.

The Democrats may well dread the ap-
pearance of one Republican orator in the
campaign. This is Lucius L. Van Allen,
who was proxy from the Eleventh dis
trlct during the meeting of the commit
tee. It is understood that Mr.. Van Allen
will go upon the stump and speak
throughout the various parts of the State.
| have had the pleasure of hearing all of
the great orators of this country and have
heard all of our leading public men dis
course, but never, in all my experience,
heard anything resembling the eloquence
and oratory of Mr.. Van Allen. He is
nearly six feet in height. His figure is
thin and clad in loose fitting black clothes.
His head is very large and set upon
quite a small neck. His forehead is
broad and bulging, family shaded bv
thin, sandy blonde hair. His eyes are a
watery blue. His nose is straight, while
his mouth is hidden under dropping
moustache. He wears the most enor-
nous standing shirt collar known to the
trade. 1t encircles his narrow neck
threatening his ears and jaws. Around
the collar is twisted black satin string.
His waistcoat is cut very low, giving
very broad eXpanse of shirt bosom.
This shirt bosom rises and falls
with the movement of Mr.. Van Aliens
sentences, its glaring whiteness and az
gressive size forcing themselves on one,
so that at times Mr. Van Allen looks like
an animated shirt bosom. He is the only
orator in the United States whose mouth
is squared at the corners when he is talk
ing. He has a voice which is dull.
booming roar. When he opens his rec
tangular-shaped mouth and begins, there
is SO much grace and impressive swing
about the man that you feel impelled to
listen to him. His style of oratory bor-
ders continually upon the sublime. He
discusses the most trivial subject as if
it were the gloomiest of tragedies. And
yet ne never says anything. He is so
charmed with his own voice
as to forget that something else is re-
lulred of speaker than the stringing of
words together. He is the very ideal of
oratorial noise. If his little speech the
kindly granting the Mugwumps
to return to the Republican
party, could have been printed as it was
delivered, it would have made the funni-
sst topic for this class of Republicans to |
'ead that has been furnished to them for
many day.-T. C. Crawford IN New
York World.

News comes from Dublin that Mary
Anderson inflicted a slight wound upon
herself while playing Juliet. The tele-
gram states that there was slight sensa-
ton created in the audience on ac-
count of the accident, but that she
came before the curtain and assured the
audience that the wound was trifing.
Such kilograms look very much like
cheap clap-trap advertising and are much
OF the same nature as the stealing of dia-
monds from actresses and their wonder
full escapes from fires If Mary Anderson
needs any such advertising to help her
along surely her reputation is much in
advance of her merit. Such information
is about as important and interesting as
the announcements made each morning
in the English press that "that the
Queen sat under the beeches in Windsor
Park for two whole minutes yesterday"
If Mary has wounded herself in the breast
she should remember that she has
wounded many others in the breast, and
now she can appreciate their feelings.

A HARD DUTY.

1t is hard and painful duty that de-
wolves upon us this morning when we
are compelled to correct an error, gross
error, an error plainly arising from preju-
dice and ignorance, which appears in this
mornings Tribune. In speaking editori-
ally of Phil Robinson, who was in this
city some two or three years ago, the
Tribune, ''the journal which holds the
foremost place among newspapers
for a thousand miles in either direc-
tion," says that "when Phil Robin
son was here he was lodged
in the Lion House." When Phil Robin
son was here he was not lodged in the
Lion House, and it is really surprising
that man who has been in Utah "fully
a quarter of a century" should be SO
grossly ignorant of thing SO universally
known and so commonly talked about as
the residence of Phil Robinson while in
Salt Lake City. This is especially sur
prising and mortifying when it is remem-
bered that it is the peculiar province of
the Tribune to know to the dotting of an
i, SO to speak, all about Mormon affairs
and the movements of all who come to
Utah and to greater or less extent asso-
ciate with the Mormons.
If the editor OF the Tribune did not
know where Phil. Robinson resided when
in Salt Lake City, why did he say that
he resided at the Lion House? He is
certainly aware of the position that the
Lion House occupies in Mormon annals,
and being so aware did he wish to create
prejudice and disseminate a false i'm
preston among the readers of his paper?
Ii such was his motive, surely it was not
a very honorable or commendable one.
If he did not know where Phil. Robinson
lodged while here, why did he presume to
say that it was one place more than
another? If, on the other hand, the ed
tor of the Tribune did know where Phil.
Robinson lodged while here he knew that
he did not lodge in the Lion House, and
for him to say that Robinson did lodge in
the Lion House was for him to delibel-
ately and maliclously utter falsehood,
and for a base and sinister purpose.
But it is characteristic of the Tribune
to assume that its prejudices and dislikes
are facts, and to give them forth to the
world as such. 1t is that very character
istic which destroys the influence that it
would otherwise have. We have fire.
quently heard the remark made by lead
ing Mormons that the Tribune defeats its
very object and aim by its too frequent
of actual facts with spurious
facts. Had the Tribune half the
power of discernment which it thinks it
has, it would be the easiest thing in the
world for it to sort the actual
facts from the spurious facts, and
thereby be enabled to make
its arguments without the fatal flaw
that usually marks them. When a man
says that a horse is sixteen feet
high and for the sake of consistency
and false pride furiously adheres to his
statement, such a course may cause men
% admire his firmness, but they will also
ioubt and condemn his Judgment. In
we would suggest that fre-
Iuently the Tribune would make faster
by going little slower.

ROUMELIA.

The insurrection in Roumelia still con-
tinues to be the chief topic in political
circles in Europe. The probabilities are
that while Russia may not have iusti-
gated the insurrection she is now direct
ing it, and directing it in the interests of
Russia. From Philippopolis comes the
word that Alexander of Bulgaria has
telegraphed the Car that he will abdi-
cate in favor of any successor whom the
Gar may nominate. provided that Rus
sian officers in the Bulgarian service be
allowed to remain in the Bulgarian army,
and that Russia will guarantee the unity
of Bulgaria and Roumelia. That offer is
but the preliminary to coup d'esat, for
AleXander's career as Prince of Bulgaria
shows him to be mere Russian puppet.
The principality of Bulgaria was Gre
ated by the treaty of Berlin, and bv
Article l OF that treaty it is provided that
Bulgaria shall 'tbe constitute i an auton-
omous and tributary principality, under
the suzeranity of his Imperial Majesty
the Sultan. 1t will have a Christian gov
ernment and 4 national militia Alex
ander, Prince of Bulgaria, is a cousin of
the Emperor of Russia, and it is but
natural that he should be for Russia
rather than for Bulgaria His history
Shows this throughout. In 1879 he was
elected hereditary Prince of Bulgaria
by the Constituent Assembly, but it
only took him two years in which |
to come to the conclusion that he
was mightier than the Assembly. In
1881 he suspended the Constitution and
dissolved the National Assembly, and by
the use of the military power and the
Justification of the returns, he procured
the election of Grand National Assem-
bly,, the body to whom was especially in
trusted the adoption of any changes in
the Constitution, and that Assembly. the
creation of Alexander, by vote on July
IL, 1881, endowed the Prince with auto
cratic legislative and executive powers for
period OF seven years. Such, in brief.
is the history of Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria, and quite a history for a man
who was born in 1853
The Treaty of Berlin which created
the new prinoipalitv OF Bulgaria, left
Eastern Roumelia under the control of
the Turks, although the Roumelians were
as much Christian as the Bulgarians, and
ever since they have kept up continual
agitation for incorporation into Bulgaria.
The present instruction is but the break
ng out anew of this old agitation, and
doubtless there would be no hesitation
On the part of the Powers which drew up
md signed the Treaty of Berlin to agree
o the desired incorporation, but for the
act that it.would substantially be giving
turkish territory to Russia, for Alex
'nder is all the while playing into Russias
lands. The expressed willingness of
he Prince to resign if the Russian officers
n the Bulgarian service are ell allowed
o remain, clearly shows this. Russia
nay have slight regard for the Bulgari-
ms or Roumelians, because of the Chris ,

ian population in the Two countries,

tian population in the Two countries,
but its regard for them on
that ground is only slight.
Nothing is SO disagreeable and annoying
to Russia as the presence near her OF
principality with an elective representa-
tive Constituent Assembly, not even the
presence OF the Inidel. Such an assem-
bly, is continual protest against Russia's
autocratic and despotic methods of gov
ernment, and is an acknowledgment of
the right of the citizens of country to
participate in it's government. To this
dislike can be traced the despotic coup
d'etat of Prince Alexander in 1881 more
than to any other cause. All the civilized
world would doubtless be glad to see
Bulgaria and Roumelia united if such
union would insure an Independent
national government to them, but it
would be a doubtful good if they are to
be united merely to become Russian
province
