The condition of Upper Burmah is causing
some uneasiness in England. The present
government of Lord Salisbury seems to be
experiencing some of the difficulties into
which his former government plunged the
country by the hasty annexation Of Burmah.
Sir Richard Gross, Secretary for India is
confronted with a grave condition of affairs,
such as Lord Churchill seems never to have
contemplated when he sent Prendergast to
Mandalay last winter. Ever since the con-
quest Upper Burmah has been in state of
disorder. English authority does not extend
beyond rifle range of the fortified posts, and
no semblance of authority has been extended
over the Shan States, which constitute fully
a third of the former dominions of Thebaw.
Not only is there anarchy In Upper Burmah
this condition of affairs has also reacted on
Lower or British Burmah, which has been
under British rule for sixty years. England
now has an army of more than thirty Lhous-
and troops in Upper Burmab, number
which exceeds two-fold the highest estimates
made before the war, and larger than any
force that that the French have ever had in
Tonquin. To depose the tyrannical Thebaw
was an undertaking comparatively easy; to
conquer the people of Burmah and bring
them under British laws is another thing en-
tirely.

The Turks have discovered movement on
the part of England which gives them no lit
tie uneasiness. The English are establishing
a coaling station on the Island of Thasso, the
most northern of the islands of the Greek
Archipelago, and very near to European Tur-
key The island is regarded as a Turkish
possession, though most of it is said to be-
long to the Sultan's subject, the Khediye of
Egypt. What the Turks undoubtedly sus-
pect is that England may have reversed her
traditional policy of protecting Constantine
pie against Russia. The action of the Brit
ish government in the case of Prince Alex
ander, confirms the suspicion. 1t has been
whispered more than once lately that Eng
land would not hinder Russia's march to the
Hellespont, but would prepare to move upon
Egypt when the Sultan's supreme moment
should come So it is very natural that the
occupation of Thasso should prompt Turkey
to make anxious inquiries.

The acting Secretary of the Navy has
called the attention of commandants fnayy
yards to the law forbidding any increase IN
the number of employees in any yard within
sixty days of an election in its vicinity, with
out special authority of The Secretary. But
the opportune presence of the war ships
needing repairs at Kittery calls for such
dispensation from Secretary Whitney. II
this does not materially aid the Democracy
of New Hampshire in the coming election
it will be comforting to them, nevertheless.

He is wise barber in Massachusetts who
can tell whether or not it is safe to shave
his customers on Sunday. A Boston jury
have acquitted one for plying his trade in
that city on Sunday; while in Fall River a
barber who followed the example of his Bes-
ton brother has been found guilty of profan-
ing the Sabbath. In one case the jury de-
cided that shaving was work Of necessity
or charity, and in the other that 1t was not.

1t is time for President Cleveland to come
out of the woods. The coons are in the corn
in the clearings. In Kansas, where cam
paign is going on, his proclamation prohibit
ing Office holders interfering in elections, is
observed even less punctiliously than in
Maine, where the Hon. John B. Redman,
collector of internal revenue, labored one
whole vacation for his party. In Kansas the
federal officials are not called on for oratory,
as was Mr.. Redman, but for cash to carry on
the campaign; and they are finding it for
their interest to comply. Whether each Off
cial takes vacation as he hands out the dol
lars is not matter of history. A similar
phenomenon is observed in Dakota. The
secretary of the Democratic Central Com
mittee has sent to government officials cir
cular asking donations, and explaining that
'this is not to be considered in the light of
an assessment but merely as a kind re-
quest" The circular adds. 81 trust that this
letter will be considered confidential except
to such as it may concern" 1t is not proba-
BILE that Mr. Cleveland has received one of
these donation" circulars, and he will prob
ably hear no more Of the performances of
the government officers of Kansas and Da-
kota than he heard of the exploits of the In
diana postmasters. 1t is kind of news
that travels slowly in Democratic circles.

Abraham Lincoln.

Among recent facts of literary
and popular interest, is announce
ment of q new illustrated biography
entitled The Every Day Life Of
Abraham Lincoln" written by
those who know him." The plan
Of the work is that of an exhaustive
biography, given not only the gener-
al facts of his life in chronological
order, but incidents, anecdotes and
every day facts nniRutely personal,
such as could only be given by those
in close intimate and confidential re-
lations, during tho various periods Of
his life. These were, in pursuance
of the plan, enlisted for the work,
embracing those who knew him as
a boy AS fiat boatman, "a rail-splitter
q clerk III country store, a law stu
dent. lawyer, politician, president
every period Of his eventful and
interesting life, Each author writes
Of the facts of his life during the
period in which he knew him--fncts
and incidents that came under bis
own observation and within his
own knowledge. A hook thus writ
ten, and go exhaustive in fact CON
| corning one of SO enduring n place
in the hearts and admiration of his
people, is assured Of an enthusiastic
welcome and & lasting place in pop
ular esteem. We ere told that the
last literary work performed by tho
late Judge David Davis, Iincoln's life
time friend, was one Of the many
contributions to this volume, in
which he took q deep personal in
terest.
1t is grand career and character
that is thus SO infinitely delineated
What lover Of simple worth and
homely virtues is not touched by
the etory OF Iincoln's pure and man
~ life? In what other country
could it have been possible to pro
duce a character and career like his?
The work is rendered further at-
tractiVe by nearly 100 superb en-
cravings from original designs made
especially for this book, illustrating
scenes and incidents in hiR life. It
is sold at popular price within the
reach of all.
The canvsssing agent for such a
work will find the latch-string out,
welcome and patronage that will
make his business both pleasant and
profitable. n, ID. Thompson Pub

The call for q meeting Of republi-
can farmers of Union Co, at Sphinx
on the 18th, of this month, to dis
cuss matters Of interest TO the coun-
ty at large, met with no response
from the republican grangers, only
three persons being present, and
they out of mere curiosity, A par
agraph in the call stated very posi-
lively that all candidates for Offices
were expected to make their absence
at this meeting very conspicuous,
and whether this is the reason for
the failure OF the meeting or the OBJ
security of the instigators Of the call,
ID a question we are at loss to de-
termine 1t don't seem hardly pos
sible that the farmers are all candi-
dates for Office this year, and we are
Inclined to take tho view that our
farmers were ehrewd enough to see
In tho call a scheme Of some indi-
viduals TO lead them into a trap, and
hence they igno.ed the irresponsible
and unauthorized call.
