ANnvE1. CONTEST.

The proposition TO contest the seat of
JEHU BAKER, who defeated Mr.. MORRISON,
in the next congress. involves novel pro-
cedure, but still one that Is perfectly legiti-
male. Mr.. MORRISON does not propose to
contest Mr.. BAKERS election, but the prop
ositiOn IS to have the house of representa-
tives inquire into the matter under the
constitutional amendment which makes the
house the Judge of the election of its own
members. The object dues not seem to be
so much with view of unseating BAKER,
and it is to take advantage of the Oppor-
tunity to show up the methods By which he
was elected and MORRISON was defeated.
There is general impression, and appar-
entity well founded. that MoRRIsoN's de-

p1.ATNE As A sNUBBER.

The great issue for discussion in polite
American circles. as well as in political
clubs is whether Mr. BLAINE was justified
in snubbing Senator EDMUNDs at the
ARTHUR funeral. Both of these dis
tinguished mourners were present to testify
their individual respect for the memory OF
the ex-presdent, and to strike their
nlaintiye Tyres in unison over the bier OF
tbe fallen statesman. The sable surround
inpS were calculated to temper the harsh
ness of personal jealousies and political
viyalrIes. and under the sOftening influences
of deaths pomp the chilled heart OF the
Vermont senator experienced an unprece-
denied thaw. In mood of melting condo
scension he proffered his hand to Mr..
R5.rNE. The latter refused to grasp the
extended digits, but inclosing himself IN
robes of offended dignity, turned on his
heel and left the Vermont senator TO ponder
unon his humiliation. 1t was an hour OF
sweet revenge for BLAINE to have an OPP
nortunitv to humiliate EDMUNDS IN the
SIGHT of The whole nation. But the question
is was BLAINE justified in embracing the
0D1lOrIunIlN. w tlnOub OOlllS AZ OiJ SN-ASN
a partisan of the man from Maine, we are
disposed to take the affirmative side OF the
question. Mr.. EDMUNDs had previously
denounced BLAINE as scOundrel. Ii
BLAINE was a scoundrel, Mr.. EDMUNDs
had no business extending his hand to him.
IfMr. BLAINE was not the scoundrel that
EDMUNDs had published him, then even
the sable emblems of woe, or even the
presence of death. should not have shielded
him from the exhibition of scorn he merited
from Mr.. BLAINE. 1t was EDMUNDs'
own fault that he gave BLAINE AN oPpor-
tunitv to snub him, and it was no fault in
Mr.. BLAINE that he embraced the oppor-
tunity. The episode. however, is likely to
restrict the circle of Mr.. BLAINE's personal
acquaintance. Hereafter the many people
who have been guilty of saying harsh things
about the Plumed Knight will not speak
when he passes by. Mr.. BLAINE will
probably be surprised to find how many
speaking acquaintance he has lost.

trials of his men were graph

stacles in his path and the frequent Skin
mishes with the natives. The numerous
tributaries to the Congo were described at
length. He humOrously related how, after

l,rMnRSE STRICKEN.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald states that the Hon.
WILLIAM A. WHEELER was SO mortified
and Inundated at the counting in of HAYES
that he never took any pride in the office of
vice president. 1t is creditable to Mr..
WHEELER's moral sense to know that he
felt humiliation and experienced mortifca-
ton. but it would have been more creditable
to him if he had possessed the moral courage
to absolutely decline to fill an office to
which he knew he had not been elected.
Mr.. WHEELER missed the great opportunity
of his life to acquire fame. Ii he had fol-
lowed the dictates of conscientious judg-
ment and had declined to swear in as vice
president his name would have lived in
history.

had good start, and he kept about fifty
feet ahead of his butfalo-coated pursuers.
A dense crowd gathered, and bets were

of value in the pointer to any one else adj

his confident assertion that VENUS herself
his heart was in the keeping of his now re-

il must be admitted that he could have had

yielded to her wiles.
The fact. however, that there are some
two hundred of the love- orn mIsSives, the

EUROPEAN WARIMMINENT,

If the Bulgarian revolutioniSts persist in
their determination to attempt new re-
bellion, it will be almost a certain begin
ming of a general European war. The
situation is so strained that the least move
ment by one of the powers is sure to pro
woke general movement among them all.
If it is true that the revolutionists have
been promised the support OF Russia. there
is hardly doubt but that the rebellion will
be inaugurated. If Russia fulfills its
promise, that will be the signal for war.
Russia can afford to be reckless in this
matter, because it will be all gain to Russia
and no loss.
