The attempt TO unite the bulgarian

bitterly opposed by Russia, whose inter

jealousy among the whole Balkan and
Danubian prinCipalities. Russia pro-
fc,ses a Willingness to permit Bulgaria
to elect any sovereign she pleases, other
than Alexander. Let Charles of ROu-
mania be the selected prince, and the
grOwls of the Russian bear would be
heard from Siberia to Dardenclls. This
election is recommended by England,

TrE Dallas merchants are complaining
most bitterly of the railroad pool, which
they charge is IdinIng their cotton trade.
The Santa Fee road is running all its cot
toA down to Temple, where it has a
press; the Texas Central is doing the
same thing at Ennis; the Texas and
Pacific receives no cotton and all the
trade is done by the small towns Dali
las receipts last week were only 30 per
cent. of those at IIutchins. How the
pool can be broken is now the great
question. but the Dallas merchants are
determined to crack it or perish in the
attempt. They will never do it with II
democratic administration.

The oleOmargarine butter-knife cuts
both ways The farmers who have en-
dOrsed the ubiquitous steal in the inter-
ests of dairymen are inhibited from put
ting any lard or tallow in their butter.
Every pound of butter into which
particle OF lard or tallow is put is subject
to tax as oleOmargarine, and all who sell
such butter, grOcers and others, are sub
ject to special tax rs vendors. Those
who are familiar with butter manufac-
lures at the north, and know the extent
to which tallOw and animal fats are
used by butter-makers, will fully I'M
derstand what big contract has been
taken by those who attempt to nforce
the provisions Of this bill IT will make
nearly every grOceryman in the country
aparticeps criminis in the violation of
this oleOmargine law, whether he will
or not. The real effect ofthe law will be
tOinstitute a system of the most abomin
able and utterly unsatisfactory espion-
age, with no result but that of increas
ing the price Of butter without decreas-
Ing the sale of deleteriOus compounds.
AS movement in the interests of pure
butter it is destined to manifest failure.

Ir is not fair to lay at the door of the
Irish people, as the Chicago Times does,
the responsibility for the strife and
wretChedness which has followed the
failure of the Gladstone arnell move
ment tor home rule. That movement
was righteous one. Ireland would have
been immensely relieved from future
anxiety thereby, but not from present
distress. The present distress is owing
to hard times; bad crops, high rents and
inability to pay. This natural distress is
augmented by the unnatural AMI inhu-
man means taken to enfOre the payment
of rent by eviction and coercion.
The letter of generous Sam Cupples,
of st. Louis, deprecating the inability
OF st. Louis to do more than it has OIL
ready done for the drOuth sufferers of
Texas, is a singing rebuke to this city
and all other sections OF this state that
have done nothing towards relieving the
distress OF their fellow citizens. MIR.
Cupples calls attention to the earnest
work Of the committee on relief, and as
sures his correspondent that with the
numerous other calls for aid, notably
from Charleston, the $1,000 already sent
to Texas is all that can now be ex-
pected. San Antonio sits tamely down
and allows the citizens of other states to
do her work of relief. The facts are not
creditable to this city, whatever may be
the excuse.
