PRINCE BISMARCK is one of the cheap
est statesmen in the world--we mean
in the salary sense. His stipend
amounts to but $4,000 O year, and
he holds half-a-dozen offices, and adj.
ministers the affairs of nearly one hun
dred. Mr.. Gladstone gets $4,000 per
annum, and his Lord Chancellor gets
$4,000. Nearly all the English Cabi
net officers get $751; apiece, and Vic
toria. gets Sj25,000 year salary.

in Japanese politics, one headed by the Tycoon, or
anforeien party OF JAPAN the other by the Mlkado.
The latter appointed Prince Komatsu general-in-
chief OF his forces. Three bloody battles were
fought As Prince Komatsu's army had modern
European drill and weapons and was ably COM
manded, 1t was successfu AT the ultimate victory

being beheaded by the State Executioner,) were d.

themselves OF the new state OF affairs, and Japan
has been quiet ever since.

AND now 1t seems that Mrs. Po,ter-Mrs. James
Brown Potter, OF course-is really going on the
stage Furthermore 1t appears that she has long
contemplated this step. In the light OF these facts
those who have been commiserating the lady upon
what was considered the rather unfortunate "ostler
Joe" incident may have to revise their opinions.
Mrs. Potter may be much deeper woman than she
has been given the credit for being. At all events
nothing could have happened more auspicous for
her theatrical aspirations than the excitement
created over her reading OF George II. Simss risky
ballad. The notoriety she thereby gained will be
worth much money to her, and is doubtless the
chief reason why shrewd Mr.. Abbey has engaged
her at high salary. This Journal, in Its capacity as
faithful chroncler of the events of the time has
apparently done Mrs. Potter very valuable service

The dismissal Of the Government suit

to be promptly followed by the dismissal Of
the highly.paid but incompetent lawyers
who are responsible for this delay. When
the Government pays high prices for eminent
counsel to assist the regular force Of the
Department of Justice in prosecuting i'm
prtant suits it has right TO demand that
