PRESIDENT CSRsor has not yet sue
ceeded in orgahizing another Ministry
All the Republican leaders he has applied
to have declined, us the Premiership has
become anything but an enviable position,
the whole aim aud end OF every one,
even the members OF the Presidents
party, being to wreck an Administration rs
soon as possible. If the experiment OF
hanging few of the leaders OF all the sec.
tons, especially those oithe Communist and
Monarchist, were tried, it might have the
effect of readjusting the mental balance OF
parties and securing rest from political tur-
moil for the Republic, and Boulanger ought
to be one of the first to go. lie is Il mis-
chieimaker.

THE DEATH or THE 7WO-DOLLAR
BUDGET.

The melancholy intelligence OF the
demise OF TIE Two.dollar Budget comes
TO us from Nashville. Col. Over
ton, you may be sure, was there
when it died. and, indeed, gave it
the finishing stroke. Our readers will
remember that when President lladden,
with his $500 budget, went to Nash
Vile and met Col. Overton with his
So proposition, a compromise, after
few moments of deliberntion, was
reached. That is to say, Mr.. Hadden
compromised with Col. Overton, by accept
ing Col. Oyertons proposition AS the
former seemed to be satisfied, the latter,
OF course, had no reason to complain.
But one OF Shelby County's representa-
tivcs in the Legislature seemed to think
that, since the budget, which the Com
missioners had submitted under the man
date Of the law, had been shelved the
door was open for everybody who had
proposition to offer. Therefore, " says
he, since $3.50 doesn't go, what's the
matter with S2?" Under the circum-
stances, since the caucus OF Shelby's
Representatives had voted lack OF conf
dence in the Taxing District Com
missioners, and had preferred the
estimates Of certain private citizens,
it was quite natural that the Two-dollar
man should have deemed ms own PROPOSE
ton TO have been timely and worthy Of
consideration, particularly because he was
not only n citizen OF Shelby County, but
was also invested with the dignity that
attaches TO the Office Of Representative.
Accordingly ho submitted his proposition
to the House Finance Committee, but with
out avail. The S2.3j budget Of the
'priyatc citizens" was adopted, though
the vote was somewhat close-6 to 1 and
seven OF the committee absent. We do
not know upon what theory the commit.
tee proceeded when it resolved that S235,
instead Of 81, was the proper figure. Tho
chart was thrown away when the budget
Of the Taxing District Commissioners was
dumped out Of the window as un-
worthy We sympathize profoundly
with the Two-dollar party. lie GER
tainly meant we'll, and he probably
does not realize yet how, since reductions
woro in order, and the word Of the
responsible private citizen seemed to have
become potential his budget, which
contemplated a reduction that could be
felt, failed TO go through. Very
likely, the outcome is best for
the people, but We view the remains Of
the Two-dollar budget with some sadness.
Meantime THE ArrEAL turns from the
bier, TO fclicitaie Col. Ovcrton upon his
ability to master a problem when he puts
his whole mind upon il.

sationalism is so purposely reckless, her
defiance OF law is so irritating, her air of

He demonstrates With His Constable
For Not Shooting Prisoner.
There was considerable excitement on
Main street, near the courthouse, about
1880 o'clock yesterday afternoon, caused
by negro constable attempting to arrest
a white man. 1t appears that Constable
Eason, of Squire Davis's court, both Of
whom are negroes, had warrant for the
arrest of Deputy Sheriff William Brennan,
on n charge OF assault and battery. Yes
terday Eason ran across his man and read
his warrant to him. Brennan submitted
n arrest but requested Eason TO go with
him to Judge DuBose's office so that he
might give bond. This Eason refused to
do, insisting that the bond should be
made before Squire Davis At this point
several white citizens appeared on the
scene and tried TO induce the ne
gro to allow Brennan TO give
bond before Juoge Dul}ose or some
magistrate in the neighborhood. The
negro would listen TO nothing and started
TO take Brennan away, when the latter re-
fused TO accompany him, but announced
his willingness to go with Deputy sheriff
Pass, who was standing in front OF the
courthouse. Pass accepted the invitation
and the two, followed by the negro Con-
stable and crowd OF people. estimated at
$50, started for Squire Davis's office, on
jackson street. When the place was
reached Eason related the story TO Davis,
who exclaimed: "Why didn't you shoot
one OF them fellows aud take the conse-
quences?" Deputy Pass.politcly informed
the irate Squire that his officer acted
very discreetly in not shooting under the
circumstances. Brennan was put under
bond, which he readily furnished.
