THE DUDEASDIHE MAsHER.

reaches into any language ancient or
modern. 1t was probably made out
'of the whole cloth simply for the
purpose of getting rhyme for some
other word in song sung by London
concert-ball singer. But the term, so
manufactured, finally came to describe
and indicate a definite variety of the
human species.

CHICAGO, Aug 25.-Mr. James Stevenson,

the stones, one of which was hurled with
such force AZ 10 crash through a double
paned window, through the car and through
the window opposite. The train was not stop
ped There was no one on the train, so far as
is known, who excited the throwing by his
presence, and the accepted theory WAS that
it was the result OF malicious mischief by
tramDs.

Trouble i'm Esnigaria.

Advices from Bucharest say that Prince
| Alexander has been landed ct REM Il prison
er. kilograms speak Of serious troubles in
the interior of Bulgaria, but details are not
given. The garrison at Philippopolis, Eas
tern Roumelis, has taken arms in favor oil
Prince Alexander. A regiment of infantry
with band playing, marched to the foreign
consulate's to give notice OF their adherence
to Alexander. The officer commanding de-
| c!ared that the whole Bulgarian army was
opposed to the deposition of Alexander, and
was prepared TO fight and die for him.
The inhabitants fraternizo with the troops.
The provincial population is frenzied in
favor of Alexander. A majority of the Bull
garIan army, az we'll as q majority of the
Bulgarian people, have already declared
| adherence to Prince Alexander, including
soldiers in the Widdiu, Nicopolis, and
Silesttia garrisops. Col. MontdoroH, chief
of the Roumelian militia forces, offered to
lead the troops to meet Prince Alexander,
escort him back to Sofia, and place him
on the Bulgarian throne, M. Sambulon,
president IF the Tirnova provisional gov
| erDment, acting in concert with Col.
Montdorotf, has summoned the militia OF
Bulgaria to service in the interest OF
Prince Alexander. M. Stanbulor declares
that the garrison ut Sofia, which seconded
the revolution, is ready to surrender to
any government properly representing the
deposed Prince provided the,soldiers are
assured of amnesty. A second provisional
government has been set up in Bulgaria,
with headquarters at Tirnova, the former
capital Of the country. This government
is in opposition to that of NJ. Karavelof and
| in favor ofPrince Alexander. M. StambulotI
has been made president Of the Tirnova gov
eminent. It is reported that Russian
troops are moving toward REM.
Authentic dispatches from Sofia show
that the deposition of Prince Alexander was
accomplished during the night. According
to these advices, one thoroughly Russanized
regiment of cavalry was detained in the city
after nightfall, when the other troops retired
to their barracks. This regiment, perfectly
under the control of the revolutionists, sur
rounded the palace about two hours past
midnight. The revolutionary leaders, with
the assistance of soldiers, forced their way
into the building, went to the Princes ante
chamber, and had him aroused. They blunt
" made known to him the purpose of their
intrusion. He was stunned, having been
taken completely unawares. What followed
is still rather obscure. The revolutionists
declare that Alexander signed formal alb
dication of the throne. Others assert that
he firmly declined to sign an abdication, and
that, in consequence of his refusal, he was
made prisoner and confined in remote
prison. 1t is said that the Prince was re-
moved from Sofa under strong cavalry
escort long before daybreak. The people
did not become acquainted with the fact OF
the coup d. etat until several hours after the
Prince had been removed from the palace.

NIr. IslHimc'S speech.

Mr.. Blaine's speech, opening the Maine
campaign, discusses the labor question, the
Cutting incident and the Canadian fisheries.
He thinks the "kuights of Labor" should
vote with the republican party, because it
ia the party which favors the continuance Of
the existing tariff. That tariffs assumed 10
benefit the laboring man in some unexplain-
ed manner, though the laboriIg man is prob
ably aware that under its operation his
wages have fallen to remarkably low
point, and are not likely to get much high
er till the tarH tax on raw material is re-
moved. Another argument addressed to the
knights of Labor" on close inspection is
seen to be the bloody shirt made over in a
new style. Thu colored voter in the South
according 10 Mr.. Blaine, is dsfranchsed. 1t
results from this that his wages are low, and
he is thus enabled to hold certain fields Of
labor to the exclusion Of the higher priced
white labor OF the North. The tendency Of
this state of things, he says, is to keep wages
low 10 the North. The iron and cloth made
in Alabama are cheap because of the demo-
cratic ascendency in that State and at
Washington. Tho remedy is, not to take
Northern capital where it can be used to
the best advantage, but to give tho republi-
cans the power ut Washington to re-enfran-
chise the Alabama lahorer, and thus enable
him TO vote himself higher wnges. The
fisheries question is discussed and Mr.. Bay.
ards agreement with the British minister
to extend the operation of the fisheries
clauses the treaty of 1871 in order to avoid
trouble on the fishing grounds is severely
criticized. Mr.. Blaine has something to say
of Mr.. Bayard's ''insolence and bravado to-
ward Mexico" in contrast with his supposed
timidity toward Great Britain. The local
prohibition party Mr.. Blaine asserts is
mere implement in democratic hands to en-
barrass the republicans

Parsons and PowdcrEy.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The late speech OF
Mr.. Powderly, General Master Workman oil
the Knights OF Labor, denouncing anarchy,
has evoked reply from A. R. Parsons, one
of the convicted anarchists, which was sent
as an open letter from his cell in jail last
night. He challenges Powderly to find a
man who can truthlully say that he (Par.
sons), rs a socialist or an anarchist, ever adj
vocated or countenanced the destruction OF
life aud property. Parsons letter says
"The foundation principle of socialism or
anarchy is the same as that Of toe Knights
of Labor, viz: The abolition of the wages
system and the substitution in its stead of
the Industrial system Of universal co opera
ton, making every capitalist laborer and
every laborer u capitalist, ending forever
the conflict Of classes and the inevitable OH
tngonisms Of the wage slave system" In.
stead OF advising The use of force, Parsons
claims that he has always only predicted"
social revolt of the working people against
the force system.

In TIE LONG speech Mr.. Blaine made at
Lake Sebago yesterday be could hardly
have avoided uttering some truths. Among
the most patent of the few to which he did
give expression was the following:
1--WE have made an unnecessary and un-
dipnifed display of insolence and bravado
towards Mexico. The is no adequate cause
for the demonstration. l maintain that
when the United States agreed to accept ar.
bitration as the means of adjusting our
grave difficulties with England We came
under bonds to the public opinion of the
world to offer arbitration to any weaker
power as the means OF settling difficulties in
all cases where we cannot adjust them by
direct negotiation. If we are not willing to
accept that conclusion we place ourselves
In the disrepntable attitude of accepting ar
bitration with q strong power and resort
ing to force with weak power. For the
United States to attack Mexico without CIV
ing her an opportunity to be heard before
an impartial tribune of arbitration would
be for a great nation of unlimited power to
put herself to open shame before the world"
Now, there isn't single word of this to
which any reasonable and fair minded man
cannot give his unqualified approval.

Mr.. BLAINE nominally spoke for the re-
publican ticket in Maine yesterday, but in
reality opened his campaign for the repub-
lican Presidential nomination in 1888. He
took the ground that the democrats, by their
tariff bills, want to bring the labor of this
country into competition with foreign labor.
aud, by bulldozing the negroes and keeping
down their wages, want to bring the white
labor of this country into competition with
the cheap negro labor of the South. MIR.
Blaine takes no notice Of the facts that OF
the sixty million people of this country
hardly one million are engaged in the in
dustries protected by the existing tariff, and
that what initiates against that compare
lively small number ia not foreign labor
abroad but foreign labor at home, as Amer
lean manufacturers and nine owners import
foreign labor without restriction. He also
fails to observe that the republican party BY
freeing the negro opened to them the trades
which now enable them to compete with
white labor, and also that the negroes of
the South now only work for whom and for
what they choose.

convention.

Ex.CoNaREssMAN Phil. Thompson, secre-
tary of the democratic congressional cam
paign committee, says the democrats must
re nominate Mr.. Cleveland, but assigns as
the reason therefor the remarkable one that
if they do not, the republicans will have
ground for attack, and say their first Presi-
dent after the war is failure. In other
words the democrats are to re.nominate
failure lest the republicans say he Is one.
The democratic party is the peoples, the
unsectional and the national party OF the
country it is the party whose object is to
obtain and secure the greatest good to the
greatest number it is the party that is in
favor of truth and that ia opposed to all
shams and isms it is consequently the ma
jority party, and can therefore nominate
whom it chooses. But to say it must nomi'
nate failure lest republicans repeat their
assertions to that effect, would 90 far to
negative all the facts of it's excellence and
superiority. The democratic party is too
great and patriotic be damaged to any
considerable extent by President who has
deceived and Cabinet that has disappoint.
ed it, and is too wise to be again caught in
the same trap and by the same trappers.

Isrcpariny for tI.e Race.

SANDY Hook, N. j., Aug. 25.--S:45 a. NJ
To-day was the one fixed upon for tho third
trial race between the Puritan, May flower,
Priscilla and Atlantic, the shippers ofwhich
are competing for the honor of defending
tho Americas cup against Lieut.. Henn's
English cutter Galatea in the international
contest, but owing to the light wind Of
Monday, which was the day set for the
second trial race, that event will be
sailed again to-day. The course for to-
days race will be fifteen miles instead
OF the regular twenty miles Of the New York
Yacht club, the committee having come to
that decision upon the night OF the drifting
match This morning opened with a north
easterly breeze and heavy cross sea break
ing along the beach. A better breeze could
not have been hoped for, and it is just what
the big sloops have been wanting. There
are clouds that mean wind moving rapid
ly through tho air from the northeast
The velocity Of the wind at S:45 o'clock was.
about 1G miles an hour, and it seems 10 be
increasing. All the indications point to IN
excellent day. In the early morning
light mist rolled up from the ocean, but it
soon lifted. Few yachts were in the horse
shoe this morning, most of the sailing crafts
being in the upper bay.
At $50 a. m, the weather was cloudy and
ut the Government station storm signals
were displayed. White caps had made their
appearance. The wind, from the north
northeast, was blowing 81 miles an hour.
The prospects for a good race are excellent.
Very few of the vessels bound in carry top
sails. The weather is cloudy and the at
mosphers heavy. There is little seq. The
wind is about north.
The yachts started as follows: Atlantic
1906; Puritan 1907 ; Priscilla 1909; May
flower 12:11. At 1928 p. m. the Atlantic
was leading the fleet down the Jersey coast,
the Puritan was rapidly losing ground to
the Priscilla, while tho May flower was not
making much of a show. The wind was at
that time blowing Is miles an hour. At
1880 the Priscilla passed the Puritan and
took second place. The Atlantic was ap-
parently increasing her lead, while the May
flower seemed TO he just holding her own.

IT HAS more than once been remark ed
that nearly all the questionable characters
who have appeared in the worlds history
during the past eighteen hundred years
have imagined that the great Founder OF
the Christian religion was in sympathy with
them and their wild schemes. For instance,
Guiteau assumed that he was the agent OF
the Goldman. Col. Ingersoll sees in Him
the freethinker Of ancient times. The adj
herents Of Malone during the dark days OF
our States history, coolly assigned Him q
niche in their temple, assuming that He
was 6 readjuster, and now Captain Black
counsel tor the condemned anarchists in
Chicago, says Jesus of Nazareth was put to
death by Pontius Plate for His socialistic
views!
