Berlin Budget.

BERLIN, May 1.-THE bulletin this
morning says the Emperor's condition
during the last few days has been
relatively good. His fever has been
slight. His sleep, though occasionally
broken, has been refreshing and his
strength has improved.
The Emperor is better to-day; the
discharge of pus continues.
The marriage of Prince Henry and
Princess Irene of Hesse will probably
take place the oath inst.
DEAF MUTE's OFFER.
The Emperor continues to improve.
He remained in his study until 8 p.
NJ, when he again tried to walk about
his room, and with better success.
His periods of depression, due to
darkness, have been fewer in the last
two days. A deaf mute living in
Silesia, has written to DR.. Mackenzie
offering to sacrifice his larynx If it be
possible to tansfer it to the Emperor's
throat. DIR. Mackenzie replied that
the loss of his life would neither help
the Emperor nor benefit science.

Gave $685. 900 to tho bible Society.


The man is still living who. seventeen
sears ago, walked into the rooms Of the
Bible society in Boston and electrified the
persons whom he found there. first by
his appearance. and, secondly, by the
communication which he had to make.

marked that he had property TO the
amount Of $4,000 which he would like
20 turn over to the society, II he could be
guaranteed 10 per cent annually upon il
,or the remainder of his life, his age then
being 20.
The officers suppressed their amaze

They looked tho matter over in the light

much elaboration, decided that the risk
was too great and 30 notified the would

and renewed his proposition to turn the
money over to the society and said that
he would be content with 2 per cent. an
aually. That proposition was accepted,
and for some years lie appeared regularly
1t the expiration Of the year and drew
his interest, taking 5000 in cash and the

1oing this for seven years or so he turned

that he had no usc for them. He is now,

Ahont a Dakota Agency.


Washington special. Some time last
year party named Hilton. claiming to
be the agent in New Yoik for certain De-
kota mills, come to this city and pre-
sented the president letter from ex-
State Senator John j. Herman OF New
York and asked for place as Indian
agent at Cheyenne river agency in Dako-
ia. BE was given letter OF introduc-
ton to Acting Commissioners Upshaw,
OF the Indian office, who gave hlm some
encouragement. Hs afterwards got to
talking around town and stated that his
purpose IN taking the Indian agency was
simply 30 be on the ground when the
ire sesvation was opened to allow few
friends OF O New York syndicate TO rush
in and select town sites before the reaer-
walton was opened to general settlers.
This plan came to Col. Lamont ssme
time after and he promptly declined to
have anything further to Go with Hilton.
Hilton then nngrily declared himself a
republican and swore to be. avenged. A
day or two since d letter was received al
the white house from Hilton stating that
he had succeeded in N York in carry
ing 1900 votes against Cleveland and
that he did ID out ofreyenge for the fail.
ure OF the administration to appoint him
Indian agent. Hilton expects by using
this letter with the republican admins
tration to get his same old democratic
syndicate upon the reservation throughs
republican appointment.

The Parker New Era remarks:

III the half the Press and Dakotaian
tells concerning the management of af-
fairs at the Ysnkton insane ssylum is
true, 1t is morally certain that about hall
or two-tbirds OF the board of trustees
should be summarily bounced. The pres
sn5 board has proven itself monumen-
tai combination of incspacity and stn-
pidity. to put 1t mildly, and il is now
time the btupendous farce was brought
to a close and the business of that iDsti-
tuition placed in the hands of competent
men. The public is tired OF falling walls,
petty personal squabbles, and assinine g
stupidity, and think some remedy Tor
these existing evils should be speedily
found. 1t is full time to call q hals on
the present foolishness.
The Press and Dakotalau has said
nothing OF an important nature IN con-
nection with this institution that has
not been fully sustained by an official
Investigation. There are many incidents
of asylum management commonly talked
about that have not been printed in any
An exceedingly coDserya.

THE NEXT HOUSE,

How Far the Clerk Can go in the Inter
est Of Partisanship.
Chicago Inter Ocean: The action of
the clerk of the house of representatives
of the fiitleth congress, persisting in
claiming that the democratic party has
carried majority of the congress,onal
districts, is somewhat suspicious, enough
so, at least, to excite a little apprehen-
sion. That officer has no discretionary
authority, however, and if there should
be any rascality perpetrated 1T would
have to be done by some one else. He
may suggest and plot. but can not exe-
cute. In Andrew Johnson's day that
much W is demonstrated. Emerson Ethe.
ridge, his fellow TennesseeRp, was clerk
of the houss, and 1t was arranged that
Etheridge was to fix up the roll ofthe
house by the recognition OF q los of
southern members holding commissions
from provisional governors not recog-
nized by congress, but held By the
president to be the genuine article.
The country Was good deal excited for
time over what Esheridge might do,
but in the end he proved to be, as the
title of his Office indicated, mere clerk !.
The present occupant of that office
might do we'll to refresh his memory OF
that abortive attempt at revolution by
clerical arrogance and error.
The real point of danger is guberua.
| torial. Each member OF congress Is given
certificate OF election by the governor
OF the state, which certificate entities
the holder to have his name placed on
the rolls OF the house. Whether he was
really elected OK not, il he gets the certi.
ficate he take part IN the organization ol
the house; and II his opponent claims te
have been elected the case goes before
the committee on sle,tIons, and is finally
passed upon by ths house ss q whole
Possession is fully nine points OF th,
law, especially in this case. II ma.
jority of the certified members shoul(
be democrats, it is morally certain tina
the democracy would retain control o
the house to the end. It 10 to be expectes
that in all cases OF doubt the party ii
control will decide in it's own favor, an,
to o certain extent, if necessary, raise
doubt where none exists.
But there is limit to that sort O
partisapship. There hes neyer bee

The political complexion of the house of
representatives is still matter of doubt
and 1t is announced that the result will
not be accurately known until the official
count shall have been declared in the
doubtful districts. Il is possible that
even then in some Of the states there
may be an appeal to the courts to de-
termine the result. It has been pro-
posed by leading republicans of Virginia
that that policy ought to be pursued in
that state if the official count shall de-
clare the democrats to have been sue
cessful IN the electoral vote and IL SO
many of the congressional districts as are
now claimed. Chairman Quay has about
decided to adopt this policy in virginis,
where Mahone's cours of appeals is still
in existence, all its members being re-.
pubiicars. General Butler and OK SEN
ator Henderson of Missouri ere to be
retained as COUNSEL for the republican
committee. The Washington correspon-
dent of the Omaha Bee says, under date
of November 18th:
There is liable to be some trouble at
the Organization of the next house Of
representatives, for it is going to be SO
uncomfortably close that the democrats
are to-day claiming majority. The
repuelicans are alarmed, and are taking
measures to secure certificates for can.
didetes OF that party who claim an cleo.
tion. The democrats have telegraphed
to every district where there is do1bt or
where the differences are small, to have
the votes recounted aud all doubtful
ones thrown ont, which is, in other
| words hint to use fraud il possible.
According to the figures as they stated
tonight, the democrats and republicans
eech have 100 members elected, with the
| second louisisna* tenth Michigan, first
West Virginia, f,st California and fifth
California in doubt. OF these five the
democrats expect to get two of q GER
tsInty. and probably third, which will
give them majority of one in the house
/ Ard in the second Louisiana district and
a district in North Carolina. where the
republicans have very small majority
OF votes, it is expected that the demo.
cratic returning officers will give the
democratic governor chance to furnish
a certificate of election to the democratic
candidates.
