THE Bulgarians are losing courage slowly
but surely and unless some fearless and de-
termin ed leader be found, and that speedily,
the landing of the Russian troops at Vama
will be foil owed by the triumph of the car
and probably the quiet acquiesceuce Of the
rest OF Europe.
OF course Bulgsria's only hope in the
event OF war with Russia would be that
Austria would fulfill her p romise and meet
the Russians on the Bulgarian battle ground
Even that alternative car ries with it the Al
most certain ruin of the little country which
would be speedily made desolate by the pas
sage of armed hosts of enemies or friends; but
the true patriot looks beyond the immediate
future and bold, determined man in a post
of influence, an officer OF the army or a mem
ber OF the SobrsDje might bring on a conflict
that would arouse Europe and save his eoun-
try.
All men shrink from the approaching con-
flict but realize that it to human judgment II
appears inevitable. By delay it may gather
strength, and the German emperor and bis
chancellor may be followed at no distant
date by rulers of less pacific policy. The
car realizes this and permits journal OF his
capital to say: enough words have been
wasted, and now Russia must act"

On Monday night there was a grand dis
play of fireworks In New York harbor, and
afterwards the electric lights of the statue OF
Liberty were started for the first time. The
light was com plete failure, and all who saw
it were much disappointed but as this bad
been predicted by the electric light COM
company, and was due solely to the stub
bornness of Lieut. Melis, the light house in
spector, it will doubtless soon be remidied.
This officer claims control of the statue
lighht because the expense OF keeping it up
has been assumed by the government, and
he insisted that the lights should be placed
in the torches, shining through glass lenses
and not around the outside, backed by great
retleCtl-s.
The result is that the torch shines like a
great glow worm high above the black mass
OF shadow that envelops the statue while the
pedestal which is lighted by a circle OF cleo
tric lamps below stands out in grand and i'm
posing relief.
There should be no difficulty about the light
ing of Liberty in such manner that the glow
of the torch may be seen far out at sea and
the whole figure be made plainly visible on
darkest and most stormy night

SAYS the Philadelphia North American
when men have no good honest issue upon
which to go before the people, II Is no wonder
that they feel obliged to manufacture some,
The articles they then manufacture are COM
monty called sbooms,' and they frequently
turn out 'boomerapgs.' Like many things
emanating from the same source this is a
piece of wisdom most profound, but uufortu-
nately the politics OF the author of it prevent
ed him from sustaining the effort, and pro-
ducing masterpiece by the wisespplication
OF his proverb. He proceeds to demonstrate
to his own great satisfaction that the store
order sensation was a boomerang and has
done harm TO the Democratic cause. The
wise man puts his head up against solid
wall OF facts, and, closing his eyes, proceeds to
imagine that the boomerang was in unskill.
ful hands, that the only party with an honest
issue was his own, and that the weapon has
recoiled upon its thrower. The party hurl-
ing this boomerang was the party OF laborin &
men, and having reached and disabled its
victim the weapon returned TO the feet of the
men who So skillfully and fearlessly used it;
ready for use again should occasion demand.
The boomerang is a most efficient weapon
in skillful hands, and when the wise man
awakes he will find that the wall OF votes
before him is monument built over the
political remains OF the victims OF the bcome
rang. The record OF the Democratic candi
/ dates offered no uuarmored point for th,
Republican boomerang to take effect, snC

nation scenes In pantomimic plays, they
passed away like some unsubstantial pa
geantfaded and left not wrack behind.
Something has been gained, however,
that shows how a just quarrel is A" thrice
armed" The great railway issue has
gained ground, and from feeble pleading
to an unheeding people-in the popular eye
IL now stands high among other issues.
This is sign that is like rainbow in the
skies. Behind such promises lie the
cumulative lessons of all civil history
stronger than the might of gold the
steady diffusion of intelligence has
wrought into life and action on this issue
the power of the masses.
How finely swells upon the ear with such
a thought John Swinton's swelling lines
from Longfellow

Interesting Postal Relic.

The German Postal Museum has re-
ceived the cover of letter sent about
hundred years ago from Philadel-
phia to aforementioned Won Pres
sentin in Sternberg (Mecklenburg). 1t
is stamped Philadelphia. London, CAL
ais, Brussels, The Hague. Amsterdam
and Hamburg, thus showing the route
very clearly. Unfortunately the year
is not visible on any of the post-marks,
but it must have been between 1760
and 1889. as Colonel Won Pressentin' is
known to have resided at Sternberg
only during that period. The letter
was not prepaid, and the recipient. ac-
cording to the official memoranda on
the cover, had to pay for it no less
than five thalers and twelve shillings
