does give more attention to fifth-a'e. than TO

cleanliness of the uptown streets which MT.
LLOYD. if he seeks Justice. might have mentioned.
If these streets occupied by well-todo people are
much cleaner than others it Is principally because
the residents are ged to pay two taxes in order to
maintain that cleanliness-One tax to the city
authorities and another directly into the hands OF
a respectable workngman who is hired by the
householder to perform daily the task only half
executed by the Street Cleaning Department. This
is perfcc ly well-known; and as 1t involves Keep

new occupation, it ought not to be forgotten by
the reasonable workngman.

The WhtehaH Times makes an eloquent appeal to
tbe Democrats of Washington Comfy to do their
best this fall, concluding with this peroratlon:
Let us all do our level best to elect majority OF
Assemblymen this fall, and then with Grover
Cleveland in the Presidential chair and David b.

General Kaulbars is exhibiting much reckless
ness and edrontery in Bulgaria as to create snspl-
cion that be Is exceeding bis instructions. But
Russian diplomatisGs of the military school are
always careful To keep within the range OF their
official orders. although the Government sometm ines
finds It convenient TO make the excuse that the
agent has trauscended his authority. In this ln-
stance the agent is undoubtedly carrying out the
Cars personal wishes. The contemptuous reply
which was sent to Prince Aexanders letter OF sub
mission revealed the sovereiens fierce and uncon-
trollable anger. General Kaulbars insults Bulgaria
very much the Car himself insulted Prince
Alexander. 1t will not be long before he receives
a jeweled sword and promotion from st. Peters
burg.
