RusuvlLLE, Ncb., June l-lSpccial to
the BEE.l-Thc greatest sensation of the
season took place about O'Clock Saturday
afternoon. One Z. c. Akin, -would-be
land attorney, arrived here in the summer of
1885 and found free lodging for himself and
family at the residence of j. w. Grubb, q
highly respected citizen and Christian gcu4
tlcman Mr.. Grubb, through ignorance Of
the law, took his homestead before making
making proof on his pre-cmption. After his
final proof lie discovered his mistake and
procured the services of Akin for the purs
pose of having his right restored The wise
acre took advantage of the facts obtained
from his bcncIactor, and through chicanery
robbed MIN OF the land. Public indignation
ran high, and threats of violence wers heard
on every hand. From that time
to the present he has cont :.
ued to swindle every one with whom het
any dealing. His favorite mode of pro -
ure was to begin q contest upon claim IA,
then demand certain amount of money
withdraw. Men who had complied with tho
law, rather than undergo the expenses of q
long and expensive suit, would submit to hls
nnholy demands. Saturday new case of
this vampire came TO light. Patience had
ceased to be a virtue. Aggravated to the
highest pitch, about seventy-iive men took
him from his Office, tarred and teathered him,
lbuS VII " SCUutllHg, anu gave nlNn tWcu~
ty-four hours to leave the country which hs
did at the earliest opportunity. Akin has
always prided himself on his pugilistic pro-
clivities, but sad to say, in the hour of need
these forsook him, and when commanded,
applied the tar and feathers to his own car
cas- with vigor and apparent relish. He also,
after receiving his coat of tar and feathers,
marched through the street bearing banner
and tramped to the music of beating drums.
1t Is generally understood that he formerly
had like experience ut Kimball, Dakota,
from which place he was unceremoniously
fired.

The deposition of Prince Alexander OF Bull
garia may or may moi turn out to be a serious
affair. 1t will depend on how it strikes the
great powers OF Western Europe. Alexander
himself is nobody, and Bulgaria itself amounts
To but little. II is simply province which is
being eternally crushed between the upper
and neither milIstones of Russia and Turkey,
and whenever either OF these two hereditary
enemies wishes TO hit the other, il fires over
Buigaria's shoulder In the present instance
the Bulgarians are said TO be delighted with
the change, but that is neither here nor there.
II they were greved and displeased It would
be all the same 10 them. Russia forces Alex
ander's retirement, not for BuIgaria's sake, but
for Russia's. Just what the Cars idea is, of
course, nobody outside of his secret council
chamber knows but anybody can guess that
the movement is in the in ,erest of Russian ag-
grandizement. Ordinarily such an incident
proves TO be the first step toward a general
European war. Perhaps it may be so now. 1t
Is about time for another war there. On the
principle underlying monarchcal government
war Is an occasional and overcoming neces-
sity. By means of 1t kings and emperors raise
money, enhance their own importance and
popularity, amuse and "enthUse'' the masses,
and kill off the surplus population. 1t Is a
barbarous, cruel and selfish system, and it
must eventually perish. Within the memory
of young men it has lost ground. France has
become a republic, England is steadily advanc-
ing in the same direction, the German
autocracy is sitting on a volcano, Spain is far
from contented, King Humbert of Italy rules
with loose rein, and his subjects practically
do as they please. Even Russia feels the new
impulse, and the days of its absolutism are
numbered

10 too early yet 10 say which country has been
in the wrong, whether there is any real
question OF right and wrong involved. Time will
show. The Too Republics, a journal published
by United States citizens in the City of Mexico,
in a late issue shows pretty conclusively that
the affair has been unduly ruagnifed from the
beginning, and that somebody has been guilty
of torturing very simple facts into "a very COM
plicated case" Mr.. Bayards first demand, it
says, was made too soon, and before any formal
correspondence on the subject had passed be-
tween the two governments. 1t lays the prin-
cipal blame for this precipitancy at Consul
Brigham's door. This view, 1t may be added,
has prevailed quite generally on this side of
