In is impossible to tell how near Prince
Bismarck and the German emperor came
to a rupture, but it is safe to say that if
the engagement of Prince Alexander and
Victoria, the second daughter of the
emperor, was about to receive the royal
approval, the iron chancellor would do
nothing but retire to private life. The
Bismarckian policy as to Bulgaria is one
of neutrality, SO far as practicable. II
Austria calls upon Germany for support
of her declared interests in the Balkans,
Germany will respond; but this is in ac-
cordance with the treaty OF alliance. The
danger of Battenburg marriage comes
from the hostility lorg existing between
Prince Alexander and the emperor Of
Russin When the Prince was at the
head Of the Bulgarian government he
allowed the priucipa,ity TO become Aus
trianized in politics, ana the czsr virtu
ally drove him ont of the Balkans, The
present prince ferdinand does no. com
mand the special devotion OF the people,
aud they may at any time abandon hila
and invite Alexander to return. III ne

Oui esteemed contemporaries mean
we'll enough when they say that the fact
that Chief Justice Waite died poor man
Is an indication that he lived life of
integrity; but the implications of the
statement are not quite just. A good
many men died poor after lives IN which
integrity played no part; and several
have died rich without arousing thereby
any suspicion of departure from recti-
tude. The late Chief Justice could have
left great deal of money at his death
without creating any suspicion OF his in
tegrity. There is good deal Of cant IN
the association of poverty with honesty,
and wealth with dishonesty.

ONO has law now which prohibits the
sale of cigarettes or tobacco in any form
to persons under sixteen years. 1t ia a
good law and ought to be enforcedi but 1t
is not easy to see why tho age limit was
fixed at sixteen. If it was assumed that
the youth who has reached the age OF SIX
teen without acquiring the disgusting
habit of using tobacco is under no danger
the assumption is gross mistake. Most
Buys begin TO use tobacco in some form
under the impression that it is manly; and
if the Ohio lad is apprised by law that he
must make no attempt to be manly in
that way until he ia 1G, he is pretty Ger
tain to assert his manlincss IA soon as
possible after that point is reached. The
law ought, in fact to be called an act to
incite boys to begin the use Of tobacco a.
sixteen. To be of any real value in pre-
venting the formation of the tobacco
habit the law should prohibit its sale to
any minor.

FINANCIAL.

New YoRK, August S. Special Telegram
to The BEE. -SToCKs--News in Wall street
was again bullish, and the sentiment IN that
line ran as high as on yesterday. The activ-
ity and advance of the past two days ha-
brought large number of ope"". ors n tho
s'ree', as 'nes e'..u not afford to stay at the
"""'".le places while stocks were being
doomed like ut present. Rumors about
pools Were more numerous. Some were said
TO be actively at work and others get
ting under way. 1t was also said that a
large Chicago following that has lately been
on the bear side had turned bull and were
buying stock heavily, While everybody is
buying stocks, the action of the market
showed that the supply was better, ana gave
evidences of the bulls realizing, as some
deemed the present advance sufficient to Sc
cure profits. Trading, however, was not
heavy up to noon, being ll4,73S shares.
There was squirt of activity at the opening,
but the dealings soon settled down to fairly
active business, which was quite evenly dis
tributed over the leading stocks, though St.
Paul, Lake Shore, Western Union, Reading
and New England were the most prominent.
First sales were about steady, being either
unchanged or varying by slight fractions
different either way. Subsequent trading
failed to develop any special features, the
movements in the list being confined, without
exception, to small fractions. The market
was heavy and everything shaded OF
slightly. Jersey Central aud Lackawanna

hogs, which sold up as high as $3.50. a lew
prime light sorts also sold early at nearly
steady prices. The market in other grades
opened very slow and weak, and was about
DC lower, in sympathy with Chicago, which
reported decline. The market closed 5(G
10c lower, but with the hogs about all sold.
Prices here are fully up to Chicago, without
taking into consG, ration the difference in
transportation, and eastern buyers can not
handle hogs at the money, which is the ap
parent reason for the market being slow.
