W~AsHTydroN dispatches announce that

WASHINGTON dispatches announce that
the marines who were sent to the isthmus
will be recalled as soon as the local
authorities declare their ability to keep
the transit railroad open for travel The
expedition has proved successful in more
ways than one. 1t has not only preserved
peace and saved life and property on the
isthmus, where treaty obligations made it
our duty to guarantee free transit, but it
has had the effect Of inspiring q long and
sorely needed feeling Of respect for our
government among the people south of
us. A quarter of a century Of failure to.
act, in cases which would have insured
the prompt action Of any other govern
meat in the position of ours, had led to a
feeling akin TO contempt for the Washing
ton authorities, especially in the Spanish
speaking islands and countries to the
south. This little unlimited, but prompt
and vigorous action of sending an armed
expedition TO the isthmus, where a de-
structive insurrection was threatening the
rnin of great commercial interests, was
one of the earliest movements of a restored
Democratic administration, and its infu-
ence will be worth far more than the $50,
900 it has cost, in inspiring respect for
the stars and stripes, and i%nsuring better
treatment for our vessels and people in
other southern quarters besides the ports
of Aspinwall and Panama.

A Man Who Is Willing to Meet sullivan
From the Louisville Post
Louisville comes to the front with the
strongest man IN che country. His name
is John Bernhardt. and he is a native of
Alsace. He is 81 years old, six feet four in
ehes high, and weighs 256 pounds, with no
surplus flesh. He is the finest specimen
OF muscular manhood seen here for a long
time. He is of magnificent build, straight
as an Indian His chest is broad and
deep, and his chin and check bones indi-
cate great strength; but his arms are won
derful, and around the biceps they meas
ure seventeen inches. His hands look
like bacon hams. His skin is smooth and
red, though he never drinks a drop of in
toxlcatlng liquor of any kind whatever.
He gave the reporter a few exhibitions
of his strength. Taking a piece of iron
which was alterward found to weigh for
ty-three pounds, Bernhardt held it
horizontally at arms length for several
minutes. He then raised a huge piece of
block iron from the ground and placed it
on the scales. 1t pulled s64 pounds.
Taking a piece of bar iron two inches wide
and one inch thick, and placing il against
hisknees he bent it double easily. He took
hold Of Corty-two gallon barrel of water
and balancing himself against a post. he
went through the motion of drinking out
ofthe bunghole. He took a piece ofoak,

it with his hands,

bundle and went home TO examine them.
The clerk was right. There were CON-
munications from all kinds and condi

L
The part which torpedoes are destined
to play in attack and defense is Of the
highest Importance, and is sufficiently
radical in character to materially
modify, IL not TO totally abrogate, ex-
isting conditions. An evidence of this
is to be found in the system which Ger
many has adopted for the defense of its
seaports and the attacking of a hostile
force. Every German port has a special
corps organized for its protection, and
there is in each of the stations a large
collection Of torpedoes and torpedo
boats. Every square yard Of the ap-
proaches to the port has been examined
and mapped out, and the officers of the
corps are thoroughly familiar with the
ground to be protected.
Incessant drill has thoroughly famil-
iarized the force with all the move
ments necessary to be taken in case of
the approach of an enemy, so that
what has to be done will be done as
promptly and speedily as n regiment
win assemble and fall into line at tho
beating of the long roll. At least 100
torpedo-boats are always ready for in
slant use at each German port, in ad-
dition TO the submarine appliances nee
essary to cover all available channels.
Says n naval writer: Long before
a hostile iron-clad could approach within
range, the whole of the approaches to
the German harbors would be so thickly
sown with submarine mines as to render
them perfectly safe, though the fleets Of
all Europe were cruising in the ofing
Then, when night fell, n warm of tor
pedo-boats, swift, noiseless and deadly,
would issue from the harbor and stalk
the blockading iron-clads as hunters
stalk u stag In addition TO this
preparation, there is a readiness in the
system which will within twelve hours
adapt itself to meet any emergency. At
this moment Germany is in a condition
of profound peace; twelve hours hence
every German port, if circumstances
demanded it, would be in shape to resist
attack from the navies of the world.

Apropos Of tea-drinking, it may be
safely asserted that very few Americans
have any definite idea OF what consti-
tutcs a cup of good tea. In fact, | in

RepubIIran MiseaIeuIatIen..

From the Hartford Times.
Congressman willy Wally" Phelps,
of New jersey, is short sighted enough TO
say, and his friend the New York Tribune
is silly enough to print-in its Sunday
edition-the declaration that President
Ceveland's course, in going slow in the
matter of removals and appointments,
will so disgust all the Democratic manag-
ing politicians that they will 90 over to
Blaine, whose machine methods they
like better. This is on the vulture and
earrion principle, ii we understand the
Jerseyman's position. II know lots Of
Democratic senators" he says, who
would be better satisfied if Blaine were in
the white house"-they would like his
method better" This cuphemism.
method, simply means jobbery; and
the congressman pays his friend Blaine a
very len-handed compliment, which is all
the more damaging because unintentional,
when he thus holds up that beaten candi-
date in his true light. No doubt there
are Democrats who who would Eo
with Blaine. as Mr.. Phelps claims,
or with any party that promised them
a chance at jobbery, such as has
ruled at Washington, much Of the time,
for the last twenty years; but it is more
honorable to President Cleveland to be
opposed by the mere devotees of the flesh
pot brigade, than it is to be supported by
that set. If there are lots ofsuch sem
ators, perhaps this interesting Jerseyman
can name them. He goes farther and
makes an ass of himself in declaring that
Cleveland's election has locked up mill
lions on millions of dollars that were wait
ing, in New York and other chief cities,

southern stdtes as soon a Blaine was
elected The talk is too foolish for a SER
ious answer. The opportunity for such
southern Investments by Blaine inanciers
have been open right along-just as invit-
ingly one year ago. or two, as IT would
have been to-day had Jay Gould's Asso-
ciated Press plan Of clecting Blaine after
the votes had all been counted proved sue
cessful. The south is hoeing rs own row
and asks no favors from anybody. But
the Jerseyman goes on to admit that
Blaine is a candidate for denomination,
and that he relies upon a Democratic
stampede 10 himtD, owing to the disgust
of the party manager over President
Cleyeland's upright course.
The New Jersey congressman goes ON
TO give his near and dear friend Blaine
such laundering whacks on the head as
these-and they are all the harder for be-
ing unintentional:
II meet with fresh proof every DAY
that Democrats voted for Blaine. If he
were to be nominated in 1883 Democratic
managers would support him, and he
would get an immense Democratic vote -
But will not Cleveland gain great
strength among the people who are politi-
clans? Win he not draw of all those Of
no particular politics who have always
voted with the Republicans

thus puts out a feeler for Blaine in 1888,
is the most trusted intimate and mouth
