TIRE ROYAL MATCH OFF.

Prince Bismarck has broken off the royal
love match. The Empress has acknowledged
his supremacy. and Indefinitely postponed her
daughters marriage with Prince Alexander.
As the Grown Prince was known to be hostile
to the alliance, it was necessary to hasten the
betrothal during the present ill-starred reign.
State policy has prevailed, and sentimental con-
sderations have been dismissed, The Prin-
cesss romance, in which both her mother and
her grandmother took a lively and sympathetic
interest, has been blighted. Her brother will
provide her with husband of his own choice
when he reigns in his fathers place, and Prince
Alexander will be left free to woo one of the
Queens granddaughters in England. Princess
Victoria has been declared by the Empress to
have been sacrificed on the altar of the Father
land. Ii would be more correct TO describe the
renuncation of this marriage On which the
royal danes had set their hearts as a tribute 10
The imperious Northern Power in the interests
of European peace. Prince Alexander is gal
liant soldier and a man of character and force
He is superior in all respects to the royal car

ters on the Continent His misfortune it has
been to incur the angry displeasure of the Gar

the suitor for the EmperoFs daughter.
The Car has had cause for the bitterness Of
feeling with which he regards this brave and
manly Prince He nominated Prince Alexander
as sovereign of Bulgaria, and expected him TO
maintain Russian ascendanoy over the prin-
cipality which had been emancipated from
Turkish misrule. Prince Alexander instead Of
resisting the National aspirations, lent his sane
ton to an anti-Russian policy. The Car has
held him responsible for the collapse Of all his
schemes for the control Of that vigorous and
growing State. lie looks upon Prince Alex

II was the opinion Of Richard LOvelace-gilted
as a poet but perhaps nsulllciently acquainted
with the practical details Of the prison problem
that:
Stone walls do not prison make
Nor iron bars a cage.
The warden Of the Tombs does not agree with
Mr. Lovelace that was to be expected. The
Diss Debar, it would seem, also disagrees with
the poet that was not to be expected. Why
should genius of the Diss Debar sort, who is
equal to summoning spirits from beyond the
tombs, with a small t, be unequal to summoning
herself out of the Tomhs. with large T a
sharp-eyed public-sitting with its hand on its
chin and exhibiting tendency to wink its
off-eye-has been asking that searching question
ever since the Diss Debar was locked up in de-
fault Of bail.
We submit to the Dss Dcbar that she is now
confronted with a grand opportunity of coming
down upon those olding sceptical views in re-
gard TO her. as the wolf down on the
fold. She has only to dismaterialize herself out
of the laws impolitc clutches to produce a great
revulsion Of popular feeling At present it is not
too much to affirm that confidence in the ethical
aims of the Diss Debar is good deal impaired
In places. There are those-perhaps they
hasty generalizers-who apply uncompromslng
adectivcs and harsh subStantives to her career
and refer to her labors in the realms of supernal
art as fake" The insinuatiOn is abroad
that the spirit oil paintings, frames extra, with
which her name is identified, were not the product
Of celestial art but of funny business in a
terrestrial closet. Now how easy it would be
for the Diss Dcbar to turn the tables on her
dctractors. She ought to be as good as the
Fox Sisters at turning tables. Let her invite
the warden OF the Tombs and the reporters Of
the New-YorlI press TO the boudoir which She
is temporarily inhabting pending BAIL and when
they have assembled and while their accumulated
eyes are siveted upon her, proceed to serve upon
herself spirtualistc writ Of habeas corpus and
vanish through the l1eyhole.
T. Sat last accounts the Diss Debar was still

Here is a practical and important conundrum
for the times: Why do the newspapers and the
orators who have SO much to say in commenda-
tion of that pending million dollar canal appro-
priation' have so little to say in reprobation of
the extOrtions practsed upon boatmen by the
elevator combinations. 1t is evident from the
way they talk that the abolition of the elevator
monopoly would be canal improvement for
which those navigating the canals would be es-
pecally grateful.

The practical politicians whom Mr.. Lowell
treated with so much scOrn should have told him
he was all wrong in his theory that corruption
had greatly increased in the last twenty years.
Or, if Mr. Lowell would rather have the evidence

learn something of the shameless way members
were bought and sold at Albany twenty years ago,
and the prices they brought. The Improvement
Of the moral tone Of the New-YOrk Legislature is,
we believe, characteristic Of our Legislatures in
general. Certainly every trained observer in
Washington will say that the change there in
twenty years IS great improvement in the moral
atmosphere. As for the purchase of Senatorships,
1t is only to be said that long as rich men are
ambitious Of political distinction, there will be
some ground for such accusations, but if Mr..
Lowell thinks matters have grown worse IN this
respect he would not need go far back in political
history TO learn his mistake. The simple fact is
that Mr.. Lowell has spoken without practical
knowledge, and so has been misled

One of the important things TO be considered
in connection with any plan for increasing the ca
pacty of the Bridge is the question of speed The
present cable cars run at a speed that is insuaer-
ably slow. The rate is nominaly ten miles an
hour, but it takes on an average seven minutes TO
make the trip from Brooklyn to New-York The
only time in the twenty-four hours when the
speed is such as to give satisfaction is from to
a. m, when the cable is not In use, but engines
haul the cars across. Then the time is about three
minutes As the distance is one mile and one
seventh, this is at the rate of about twenty miles
an hour-certalnly none too fast. To carry all the
people who want to be carried is not enough The

may be kindled into great matter Inc CIR
cumstances are fully set out in letter from
Beyrout, printed on another page. The trou-
bic arose from an invasion of the French Con-
sulate at Damascus by Turkish officials and the
forcibe seizure of persons who had taken asy-
lum there The situation has been extremely
critical, and the danger point apparently Is not
passed. A Franco-Turkish war would involve
serious European complications, the extent OF
which no man could foresee.
The act of Justice which the House Of Repre-
sentatives did in seating Captain White gave
ground for the hope that there would be rea-
sonable fairness in dealing with other contested
seats. This hope vanished when the McDuthe-
Davidson case was decided. Further proof
that the Democratic spasm OF virtue was bnt
temporary is furnished by the long delay which
has taken place in the Smalls-Eilot contest
This delay is scandalous. If the Democrats
had case they would not be likely to favor
such long postponement. AS matter OF fact
tbev have no case at all The election was
characterized by the grossest frauds, and II
Colonel Elliott's claim 10 the seat is confirmed
il will be an outrage of the most disgraceiul
sort. There ought to be enough Democrats TO
prevent its consummation.
Does Colonel Fellows fancy that the people
of this city will look complacently on any ar
rangement that permits John Keenan, to re-
turn to Newly York and live here in undisturbed
peace? The journey Of Inspector Byrnes to
Montreal strongly suggests that something like
this is under way. The District-AttOrney should
understand that Keenan, is not wanted here in
any capacity except as prisoner on trial His
testimony against the briben is not needed,
even if he is willing to give evidence against
them. and the conviction of Jaehne, McQuade
and O'Noil shows that the doodle" Aldermen
can get their deserts without Keenan's aid
II will be fragrant misuse of the District
Attorneys Office if Mr.. Fellows employs it to
,ebabiIitato Keenan and restore him to his
former place as political leader II Mr. Fell
lows thinks that the conviction OF one or two
men will be an offset to this, he is making a
fatal mistake.

Six Days of Terrible Suffering.

BRE%OKENRIDGE, Col, Aug. 90. u. Lee left
this place on Aug. 10 for Silver Plume. over Ar
gentine Pess. He reached the top of the range
at about dark, and missed the road at a very
dangerous place, and by following an abandoned
trail undertook to cross q broken bridge. Miss
ing his footing he was precipitated to the bottom
of the gully, q distance of twenty-five feet. The
injuries sustained were a broken arm. and both
lower limbs were broken 10 two places. In this
horrible condition the unfortunate traveller re-
NAMED on the mountain for a period of six DAYS
and six nights. suffering untold torture, with no
food or drink, exposed to the severe storms
which prevailed for the entire month. He cried
and prayed for help, but no succor came until
the sixth day. when q traveller happening to
cross the range found the helpless man. Yet con-
scious. but unable 10 speak, as his tongue was so
swollen as not TO permit articulation. After
giving the sufferer a drink of water. the rescuer
at once started for assistance. a distance of ff-
teen miles, and upon his return be found the
suffering man still alive. but unconscious. He
was carried to a carriage and placed upou a COM
Portable cushion, and the paInfal journey to
medical aid commenced, but before five miles
had been passed the man died.
