GLAD 70 Hear Il.



Some years ago, shortly afer the
enactment of the Riddleberger bill, the
british bondholders formed themselves
into q syndicate TO contest the constita-
tionality OF the law and to force the
coupons into the State Treasury. This
syndicate assessed the bondholder
some $50, 900, which has now become,
by reason Of the expenses Of litigation,
Of lawyers fees, Of press notices, and
other expenses, almost, il not entirely,
exhausted. Not only have these bond
holders been forced to endure this
assessment, but during these years have
practically received no interest upon
their bonds.
The question whether the bondhold'
ers will endure q further assessment
will soon have to be submitted to them,
and that they will rot be able to do sc
Is . foregone conclusion.
All this clamor for compromise ii
the beginning Of the end. Without
money to press their slaims, further
hostile legislation threatened, Interest
on their bonds stopped, the surrender
Of the British bondholders can only be
delayed by evidences Of weakness and
vaciilstion on the part Of the State.
This surrender will take the form,
too, Of funding In ths Riddlsbsrger
bonds, for no sale Of their dishonored
bonds in large amounts can as advsn-
tageously be made, and the Riddle
berger bond will immediately advance
In market value. The amount held b.
these British bondholders is very large,
and with these bonds funded 10 Riddle
berger bonds, the success OF the Riddle
berger settlement is practically assured.
The simple course for the S'ate nov
to pursue Is to maintain hrm deter
and TO sit down with sInphs-
sis upon al suggestions which night
Indicate any WEAKNESS Of the contest.
All things will come to him that waits.

Argue Wen.

The Philadelphia North american is
ultra-Radical or nothing. In times past
it was noted for its bitterness in dealing
with the Democratic party and its load
ers. 1t administers singing rebuke,
however, to the organs that are engaged
in abusing CHAUNCEY T. BLACK,
Democratic candidate for Governor Of
Pennsylvania. Our contemporary says
ait is childish and untrue to defame
Mr.. BLACK because no is a political
opponent" and that no amount Of bad
temper and no amount Of false criti-
cism can bring the people Of intelli-
gence in Pennsylvania to look upon
CHAUNOEY f. BLACK as other than a
gentleman Of the highest character, per-
sonally and intellectually" Such sem
timents from such a source argue well
for the politics Of the future.

An Austrian Family squabble.
Vienna Dispatch to the London Daily Tel


Count Ander Szechenyi, Jr., was ar
rested in Vienna last night under the fol-
lowing dramatic circumstances: A couple of
years ago the count, who is young man
OF %, married the daughter of Russian
landed proprietor, the lady receiving
handsome dowry from her father.
The union was not a happy one and the
young people separated. Shortly after
wards the countess gave birth to son
She resided with her child at the house of
her mother in Vienna, where the count took
lodgings in furnished hotel. A short
time ago he received visit from his wife,
accompanied by her mother and child, who
appear to have called at his request. He
Insisted upon the child remaining with
him, and the ladies had no alternative but
to submit. M. Korokossoff, the
father Of the countess, was at once tele-
graphed for, and on his arrival he secured
the services of detective, On Wednesday
night the c0Cnt made his appearance at the
residence OF us wife and her parents, and.
in an excited tone asked to see the coun-
tess, threatening violence in case of refusal
The detective played leading part in the
scene that followed, and succeeded in taking
loaded revolver from the count. He then
accompanied him to the next police station,
where the count declared his intention was
merely to brighten his mother-in-laW.
Eventually, at his wife's pressing request,
he was released, after passing his word to
modest her no further. But her father apr
pealed to the public prosecutor, and n4ast
night the count was taken into custody. aa' +

called Lemons" and it is said that in the
early days of his dissipation in
Paris, when he was surrounded by a
host of brilliant and wealthy French
gentlemen, they manifested certain
awe of his title to royalty, and used rather
too much form in addressing him; SO that
one night when they were all engaged in a
mad lark, he said, do not Prince me so

familiar" Whereupon one gentleman,
lifting his glass, said, with an accent of
mingled scorn and familiarity, "a la tienne,
Citron," and "Citron," which was varied
with Lemons" the poor Prince of Orange
became and remained.
