LONDON, May 15.-The Vienna corre-

leaened that the removal Of Prince Bis
marck has induced the car to reverse
the policy Of alliance with France and
revert to German alliance. "The
czar," says the correspondent, always
distrusted the stability of the republic,
but it was impossible to agree with Ger
many while Bismarck was in Office. The
Krasnoe meeting will probably result in

ONE of the ours of the democratic
press that always yelps when a big
hound gives tongue whines out:
IF President Harrison bought that
seaside cottage why didn't he say so
at first? 1t would have saved a heap
of explanation"
What was it your business anyway
whether President Harrlson's friends
gave him that cottage, or he pur-
chased. 1t is presumed that Presi-
dent Harrison "didn't say 80 at first"
because he wanted to see what in
fernal fools the democracy could make
of themselves if they were only given
rope enough.

TRIED REMEDY FOR slLIousNEss,

Those who suffer from disorder or iuaction
of the liver will never get the upper hand of
the unruly organ so long as they use such
irrational remedies as blue pills, calomel and
p%od1phollin. But from the tried and popular
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they
may expect relief with a certainty of obtain
ing it. The influence OF the Bitters upon the
great hillary gland is direct. powerful and
speedily felt. The relief'afforded is not spas
modic, but complete and permanent. The
%sallowness of the skin, furred appearance of
the tongue, indigestion, costiveness, head.
ache. nausea, pains through the right side and
shoulder, in fact every accompaniment of the
obstinate complaint are entirely and prompt
ly removed by a course of this inestimable
medicine, in behalf of which testimony is con-
stantly emanating from every quarter, and
from all classes of society.

THE New Birmingham Times has
always a flavor of the new South
about it, and this editorial clipping is
evidence of that fact.
"The Times does not favor the idea
of a boycott against northern mer-
chants and manufacturers in the
event of the passage of the force bill.
1t is an impracticable, hot-headed
idea and would injure the material
interests of the South. The boycott
is a cowardly weapon and a brave
man would scorn to use 1t. The idea
should be dropped"
The Times falls into line with the
best sentiment of the South in max
ing this declaration.

AN APPaEcIATIvE ASSOCIATION.

| AN iSN'
The work that the press is called
upon to do, and does do, gladly,
heartily, freely, without money and
| without price, in furthering all public
enterprises, is not always appreciated.
When it Is appreciated and measur-
ably re~ciprocated, as is sometimes the
| case, it is well to record the fact, that
| the press may be encouraged thereby
| to q continuance in well doing. A
certain fair association ia the far west
was so deeply impressed with the
signal services rendered by the press
of it's section, that upon its press
tickets, issued during the fair, was
printed the following:
"This ticket probably has been paid
for ten times over by the paper to
which it is issued. 1t will be honored
in the hands of any man, woman or
child, white, black, red or yellow,
who favors the association by present.

fact that it's splendid success is owing
largely, if not wholly, to the notices
so freely given by the press, and while
we cannot render an equivalent in
cash we return our grateful thanks"

THE proposition for made ground
on the Chicago lake front is a bold
one, and if carried out successfully
would add three hundred acres to the
area already available and would
make the exposition grounds cover
about eight hundred acres. The pro-
posed plan is to build an immense
Golfer dam, of solid masonry; the
walls on top to be forty five feet
across, pump out the water and form a
basin with its floor about ten feet be-
low the present level OF the lake.
The slopes would be very gradual, a
carriage way would be laid out on the
top of the wall, and the Illinois Cen
trail railway tracks could be run
along side without encroaching upon
the present park. The estimated cost
of this plan of making ground is
81, 125 900 and the directors have the
matter under Amusement. If carried
out the plan will certainly possess
all the attractions of novelty. The
estimated cost is s75O,OOO less than
was guaranteed by the city council
for the making of the ground.

THERE is a world of fool writing in.
dulged in over that contemplated
boycott OF the north because congress
seeks some way to make citizenship
rights under the constitution effective
In those states where the colored
votes form an important factor in the
sum total of the ballots cast. That
boycott would damage the south to-
day more than it would the north,
and sensible men so see it. The
scheme Is as impracticable as it is in
sane. AS for the cause, there is: but
n thing to be said. The ballot is
freely exercised in the south or it is
not? If it is freely exercised now,
this bill will not change matters one
whit. If 1t is not fully exercised it
should be, and this measure is intend
ed to effect it. With local and state
matters this bill does not NEEDLE, but
it does say, inasmuch as representa-
ton in congress is based upon.-the
number of voters in a given district,
these voters must be admitted to the
polls and their ballots counted, or
else there is a two.fold fraud perpe-
trated; a fraud upon the citizen de-
frauded by his ballot, a fraud upon
the other sections by undue repre-
sentation of certain districts as the
result of fraud. The real complaint
is against the south, which as before
the war insists upon representation
on the basis of negro population as
we'll as white, but denies the negro
voter the benefit of his ballot.

The Port Townsend Southern.

Port Townsend is assured OF trans
continental connections this year, says
the Leader. Hugh Peters, superin-
tendent of construction for the Ore
gon improvement Company, arrived
in the city yesterday for the purpose
of looking after the work at this end
of the line and arranging for the en-
plovment of an additional force OF
men all along the line.
When president Elijah Smith was
here Il short time ago he gave it out
unofficially that the company would
attempt to get the road completed to
both ends of the canal by November
LIST, and Manager Mcneil has al
ways been enthusiastic over the idea
of rushing the work along. 1t has
seemed for some weeks past that on
account of the scarcity of laboring
men it would be impossible to do
more than an ordinary amount of
work in building the line 1t seems
that the company is determined to
complete the line, and with the knowl
edge they have of Manager McNeilPs
ability to keep his promise in matter
OF this kind the people of Port Town
send do not doubt but that he will
complete the road since he has started
in to do so.
The plan is to build both ends of the
line to Hoods Canal. On the south
from Olympia to Union City and on
the north from Port Townsend. "If
this can possibly be done by the LIST of
November" said Manager Mcneil
when here. awe will then put rail
road ferry on the canal to connect
with these uncompleted portions OF
the road and serve as temporary af-
fair until we can finish the road along
the canal"
at will require big force to do this
work, but we expect to get all the men
we need and if we do there will be no
difficulty about completing the road
as intended. We will put 1000 men
at work along the line OF the road as
soon as we can get them and they will
be kept at work until the line is
finished

Country Roads.

Attention cannot be too frequently
drawn to the Importance of good roads
In cities, even, the pavements of the
streets are better index to the popu-
Tar taste and to public spirit than are
The walls of public buildings. In the
country, roads are the measure of pub-
Inc and private enterprise. They favor
or hinder intercourse according as
they are good or bad, and upon inter
course depends to a large extent the
intelligence and refinement of peo-
pie. The Romans knew we'll not
only how to conquer, but how to civ
ilize and govern. They were the road
builders of their time. There are
miles and miles of road-bed still in
use IN England that was laid down J.
Ioo or l,oOO years ago. In France
they are older and more extended
Along these lines have grown up some
OF the largest and most prosperous
cities of the world Through many
centuries, the thoroughfares furnished
all the advantages of navigable waters.
But the argument drawn from the
proft and loss accounts the one most
effective in these days, and that is the
one which readers are likely to meet
with pretty often in our public prints
several estimates made by experts
upon economic questions have been
recently published. Prof. Ely. of
John Hopkins University, reckons
that "poor roads cost the farmer on an
average, $l5 per horse" Prof. jerks,
OF Knox College, Illinois, argues that
with good permanent. roads freight
could often be hauled ten miles on
wagons cheaper than it could be taken
one mile on dirt road 10 a raIlway
station, nnloaded, put on the cars. and
carried to its destination"
These are the opinions of speci ,lists
VINO have no doubt gone over great
many columns of statistics in maxine
up their estimates. There is no prac.
tcal teamster who will not admit the
Responsiveness of their conclusions
