Chairman Hensers Future.
Here Are some Good Offers.

From the New York sun.
Jumping from the East River bridge has
already become trihe monotonous; swim
ming through the turbulent rapids below
Niagara has ceased to attract general atten-
ton even rowing 5000 miles across the At
lantic in an open boat has about it elements
of tediousnesss. The public taste, which at
first relished these achievements, regarding
them as something new and risky, has be-
gun to clamor for change of diet, for some-
thing really difficult, tor feats which are a
peg above the commonplace. The Sun, there
fore, will make the following liberal offers:
To any one who will slide down the ex-
terror of the Washington monument without
scratching it, 81, 500.
For turning back somersault from one
tower OF the Brooklyn bridge to the other,
$1,000.
To the first man who shall swim up Ma
CARA Falls, $500.
For beating Col. Glider to the top of the
North Pole, $50 and expenses
For demonstrating by standing up against
them, whether Tin X eefe of the New Yorks,
pitcher, or John L. Sullivan hits the harder,
$3.50.
For showing that when standing in front
OF Harlem express train he can " take the
track and keep it," 800.
For eating two qusils day until George
Francis Train is elected PRESIDENT the price
of the quails.
For putting ones head in the British lion s
mouth, while Richelieu Robinson (the boss
twister) has hold of his tail, a decent funeral.
For calling Col. Blood of Kentucky, sab,
"no gentlemen" suit of bomb proof
armor.
TO any book agent who will offer to sell to
Joo Blackburn copy of Dormsn B. Eaton's
works on civil service reform, an order for
new hat
For sewing up ODonovan Rosa in the
British flag, steersge ticket to London.

Bulgaria and Germany.

The North German Gazette has cautioned
the German newspapers to curb their
enthusiasm for Prince Alexander for the
reason that events in Bulgaria do not in
any way affect Germany, and that it would
be poor policy to sacrifice the friendship of
Russia for the sake Of the prince, even
though he were an angel in human form.
The first comment that this reasoning
excites is that it is founded on the false
premise that Bulgarian affairs do not con-
cern Germany. The world knows that
every step of Russia towards the west is
menace to Germany and that the Bulgarian
coup, If successful, would have been such
step.
In spite of the cold-blooded sense in the
argument of Prince Bismarck's paper,
that the friendship of Russia is more yalu-
able than that of an angel, or a Bulgarian
prince, the German people can not be
brought to see it that way. The expulsion
Of Germans from Russia is an event of too
recent occurrence for that people to appre-
ciate the friendship that survived such an
action, and the bravery and ability of the
German ruler of Bulgaria have aroused all
the enthusiasm of his countrymen. The
taunts OF the London Economis, will do
more to counteract Bismarck's soothing
syrup than anything that is likely to hap
pan In the Balkans, for they can not fail
70 - the element of truth in the assertion
tnat Germany is summoning England to
redress We wrong done by Russia to dis.
tinguished German.
In spite OF their phlegmatic temperament
the Tsutons are romantic people, and it
will take all the cool wisdom of the man Of
blood and iron to restrain their impetuous
enthusiasm for the hero Of Bulgaria.

To Make Good Running.

The correspondent of the Pittsburg
Dispatch reports John Stewart, who aflili-
ated with Wolfe once in independent Re-
publicanism, as declaring that the Prohi-
bition movement this year is very for
midable. Mr.. Stewart has for some
time been rehabilitated as Re-
publican and does not confess to any
personal leaning toward the Prohibition
movement but in his region he declares
that it has drawn into it this year men
who have never before stepped out of their
party lines; and they are good men, he
says. Mr.. Stewart is consequently of the
opinion that the Prohibition movement is
one not to be sneered at by the Republican
leaders and he does not think that they are
indulging in any such amusement.
The same correspondent reports Re-
publican congressman, who dropped in to
look at the Prohibition convention at Har-
burg, dropping out with the feeling that
his party was going TO be beaten on the
coming occasion. And we are further told
that Mr.. Anthony Drexel, of Philadelphia,
contributes the handsome sum of slO 900 to
the Prohibition treasury which it will GER
tainly make Mr.. Cooper sad TO hear.
This is good deal of news to get from
the state capital by way of Pittsburg, and
1t may be that it is not all true, especially
that part about Tony Drexel' subscription
from which we may possibly deduct a
couple of ciphers without getting far from
the real figure. But whether Brother
Drexel has been extravagantly generous to
the cause or no, it will not be likely to
suffer for lack of funds. If there is run
ming in the creature it will come out. The
rider is bold, the political track particular
y clear, and the general situation in every
way favorable for good showing for an
ism stoutly driven; and Prohibitionism
will be sure to make good running.

In what a miserable condition poor, un.
happy Philadelphia finds herself. Her mayor
has been hauled over the Goals for the past
two weeks for embezzlement and nearly every
other municipal wrong that can be committed
by acity's chief executive. Then the mayors
secretary confesses that he received SIS from
each OF seyenty-seyen oil dealers and that
the extra s. was divided between the secre-
tary and the fire marshal. These exposures
come at the same time that ii is
discovered that another official OF the
police force has been making quite snug
fortune by shaving policemen's warrants.
These malfeasauces are in the municipal
government Fearing, perhaps, that there
was too much swtndling going on in one
place, and seeing the need of balancing things
up, some person stole $50 COS from the safe OF
the Adams express company in the Quaker
City. A clerk named Rath Pratt is under
suspicion and bail for the robbery. Philadel-
phia had better hide its diminished head until
less wrong-doing OF this peculiar kind is
reported from its corner OF the state.

WASHINGTON PERKS, of Camden, New
Jersey, on Wednesday, married his step
mother, and straightway the newspapers
thrust before the bridal couple the statute of
the state which says that no msn or woman
shall intermarry within the degrees hereafter
named-that Is to say, no man shall marry his
grandmother, grandfather's wife, wife's
grandmother, fathers sister, mothers sister,
sons wife, sister, sons daughter, daughters
daughter, sons sons wife, daughters sons
wife, mother, step mother, wifes mother,
daughter, wifes daughter, wife's sons daugh-
ter, wife's daughters daughter, brothers
daughter, sisters daughter. Ii you can get
your breath after reading that, let us know
what you think about it Is it not borrid
Just to think that man is forbidden to marry
his grandmother and nothing said about his
great-grandmother! She is in her grave is
she -? Not always by great deal. We know
the liveliest sort of great grand mothers, and
it is mean that they should not lie protected
from ravenous greatgrandsons Just as their
daughters are. Do you not think so
Mr. Perks, threatened with the statute for
marrying his step-moiher, will raise the uues-
ton in his trial as to whether he had any
step-mother after bis fathers marriage was
dissolved by death, since the dictionary saws
that step mother is another by marriage
only. And it was such lovely step-mother,
Perks says, he could not help falling in
love with her after his father died and his
will was read, leaving all his property to her

To-day Lancaster's big agricultural fair
opens with every indication of successful
issue. It was peculiarly happy selection
BY the fair management of this week for
the exhibition, inasmuch as it has no other
adjacent fair in competition with it, as was
the case last year. Coming week in ad-
vance of the state fair in Philadelphia, it
enables exhibitors at the latter place to
display their goods at the local fair on their
way East. AS will be seen by our report
elsewhere, the exhibit this year will be
notable n the history Of similar events in
Lancaster in the past. The display of engines
is most noteworthy, the newest and best of
farm implements are to be seen, and the
gathering of well-known horses promises
many exciting race events.
These and many other reasons equally
strong will cause thousands from the city
and county to visit the fair during the
coming week. They will not Gully be bene
fitted by what is to be seen, but will in
spire to renewed efforts those who have
given their time and labor to securing this
great display of the resources of the
county.

The Lively Democracy.

Saturday was quite lively day in four
important Democratic counties, Berks, Le-
high, Schuylkill and Northampton. In the
former county the result of the primaries
showed bare dozen delegates for II. Will
lis Bland, as against 1872 for Daniel Ermen-
trout, in the congressional race. The man.
ner in which Bland was showed under
shows that Mr.. Ermentrout still possesses
the confidence of his Berks county consti-
tuents. The largest and most enthusiastic
county meeting in their history was held
by the Lehigh Democrats in Allentown.
Representative Sowden's course in Com
gress was cordially endorsed, and the Cleve-
land administration came in for great
deal of praise. In Schuylkill county, W.
F. Shepherd, of Pottsville, will contest the
congressional district with solid Demo-
cracy at his back. A largely attended
county meeting was held by the Northamp.
ton Democrats, and harmony and enthusi-
asm prevailed.
All these are good indications that the
Democratic party feels the ozone of victory
in the air this year, and that all its MEM
bers propose to be in at the finish. With
unexceptionable candidates against a rep
resentative of the "pluck me- system of
wages who leads demoralized and divided
party, the cause for Democratic confidence
is most reasonable.

THE Pittsburg Dispatch says that George
Handy Smith, state senator from Philsdel-

ing Quay about getting to be the presiding
officer of the Senate. We are told that sin the

trust in the auburn-hsired cherub from Della
ware county, and IN the expressive language
of the street urchin got left Profiting by
an experience wherein a Lancaster county
lawyer outwitted him, George Handy has
transferred his affections from the stream of
Cooper to the fountain head of Quay, and he
hopes by going early to the bubbling spring,
to fare better than by angling farther down
stream where the reflections are not always
faithful to the original representation. He
enjoyed the hospitality of the state treasurer
for several days, and then took his departure
with his heart full of hope and his mind fun
OF plans, by whose fruition he hopes to be-
come the temporary president of the coming
Senate"
