Excited p0rtuguese.

The Portuguese take their English
medicine very badly, but it is not easy
TO see what they are going to do about
II. An ominous incident is the loud and
elger expression Of sympathy offered
by the Spanish liberals to the Portu-
guese protectors against England.
All calm men must admit that
the government Of Portugal could
not have acted with more firmness,
than it did in the dispute with England,
but a nation can not be made to yield
10 force without provoking resentment
which must find some vent, and quite
naturally expends itself upon the un-
fortunate powers that be. The incident
has immeasurably strengthened the
feeble but ever active republicans of the
Kingdom, and encouraged by sympathy
from Spain and France aud 10y the
memory Of Brazilian events it would
not he surprising if they very soon
showed alarming strength. 1t has been
! rumored that Bismarck urged Lord
Salisbury TO deal gently with Portugal
because Of the danger Of wrecking
another throne aud so provoking gen
erai shakiness of European royalties.
England does not seem at present 10
have anything to fear from the doings OF
the Portugese, but II there should be a

general revolutionary movement on the
peninsula u would probably receive
strong support fpm restless France, and
that would surely set the armies and
flects in motion all over Europe; for the
Russian autocrat would have finger in
the pie if France was active. Lord Sal
isbury may yet repent his arrogance
with Portugal. He seems TO have acted
with the usual British want Of
consideration for the natural pride
Of Others, and I'm spite Of the strength Of
his side of the argument has continued
to ALLEVIATE foreign sympathy. The
splendid African record of the English
AS compared with Portugal's dark and
sleepy rule would have commanded the
general approval by the civilized world
Of England's stand in the matter, but
the impatient and bullying tone of the
British disgusted everyone.
The concentration of Portugese forces
In Africa attracts attention and the pros
pect Of European war fought out In
Africa Is facetiously discussed. How
much better 1t would be II the dark con-
tnent could be made the theatre OF war
and the great powers could be persuaded
10 do their fighting In that forsaken col
orcd country. Fortunately there Is not
much probability of the immediate trial
of the Morgan immigration scheme or
foreign powers might seek to use II for
recruiting their African armies.
Seriously there seems to he no inn
me liate danger Of war In Africa or
Europe, but events In Portugal and
Spain are worth the closest attention
and the English quarrel is not trifie by
any means.

BENJAMIN Harrison.

One BENJAMIN Harrison has been
president of these United States for some
ten months. Meanwhile events have
not been remarkably quiet. The Sa'

congress of the Americas, now lost,
strayed or stolen, and finally the sudden
appearance of the Republic of Brazil.
During these lively ten months IT is not
recorded that President Benjamin Har-
rison has said beans. He has only once
intruded his personality In the guise OF
a dreary message to Congress, which nc
one would seriously pretend to describe
Ms sayiug beans on any topic treated
He has not even ventured to talk out
firmly and emphatically on the harm

although even the poor hunted czar
of Russia has mustered courage to
give the new republic hearty

Harrison With all these opportuni-
ties for doing or saying something to
indicate that he is jumping along with

his departure the convictiun has been

in his premier.
Premier Blaine has failed TO work as
he was wound up and guaranteed to do
on foreign affairs. The Samoan, Cana

any buzz from his machinery, which
proved so noisy before the presidential
election. The lions tail Is free from

Narrow Gauge Politicians.

The factional conflict within the Re
publican party is waxing fierce. As an
item of war news We publish to-day n
remarkable letter which has appeared
in Wharton Barker's american and at
tracted much attention. This letter sets
forth the grievances of the men who
fought, bled and died so nobly for Ben
jamin Harrison before he was president,
and have been ruthlessly handed over to
the tender mercies of Quay. Their state
of mind is sad, but their fate might have
been expected. Quay Is all powerful.
Pennsylvania no doubt appears TO the
ordinary Republican to be firmly and
eternally welded to her idols, and why
should Mr.. Harrison trouble himself to
keep friends in Pennsylvania. Boss
Quay il the man who rules, and
the one thing essential Is to please him.
The correspondent of the american finds
very general surprise at the manner
in which President Harrison has re-
warded his opponents and ostracised his
friends, but that is the frequent practice
of narrow gauge politicians under sim
liar circumstances, and the friends who
are now disappointed have only them
selves to blame for failing to properly
measure the character of their man,
The politician of the Harrison brand
finds his mind fully occupied in contem-
plating the immediate future and can
only scheme and plot to further his sci,
fish interests as they appear to his linn
tied vision. The way to move him is by
fear not by services. He is not a strong
bold fighter, who advances by striking
hard blows, but he operates by careful
strategy, changes Of base and treacher.

are rendered commiseration in their

Cured Sound and Wen.

L contracted a severe form of
contagious blood poison, for which
I took Swifts Specific IS. S. S, J,
and from its use derived the most
satisfactory results. At first 1
consulted the best doctor, as 1 sup
posed, in Boston, who prescribed
mercury treatment. At the expir-
alton of two weeks I asked him
how long it would take for him to
cure me. His reply was if 1 would
follow his directions he would
promise to cure me in two years.
This being rather discouraging,
I consulted friend, who advised
me 70 take no more doctors medi-
cine as he was positive l would
never be benefited by it. He
then told me that he would pro-
cure me some medicine that would
wipe out the disease in a short
time, AMI brought me several bot
ties of Swift's Specific IS. S. s.
which I am happy to say cured
me sound and well, and instead OF
