BISMARCK RESIGNS.

And there has really been good founda-
ton for all the rumors which have been
coming from abroad during the past few
months TO the effect that BISMARCK and the
young Emperor of Germany were not in
harmony. The break has come, the great
chancellor resigning the Office which he
has held under grandfather, father and son
for nearly twenty years, though for more
than third Of century he has been the
foremost statesman Of Germany. 1t is not
saying too much to say that to BISMARCK
more than to any other man, the late
soldier Emperor not excepted, is due the
existence of German empire; it is telling
only a truth which everybody comedies
that to him more than to any other must be
attributed the unity and the strength of
the great empire. Had it not been for him
it may be doubted that there ever would
have been German empire, and it may
also be doubted that the grand structure
which he erected would have survived a
decade had it not been for the controlling
and directing presence of the builder. He
made Germany great and the Germans
mighty, and gave to his monarchs a throne

The ingratitude which drives BISMARCK
into retirement is Of the basest kind, but
the recklessness of the act is almost Grim

cal period Of her existence. There was
never a time when she was in greater dan
ger. Europe regards the empire as some
thing of menace to all other powers, and
there are few of the European govern
rnents that would not like to see her wings
clipped and her pride humbled. There is
widespread discomfort among the people,

has waited twenty years for an opportun-

hatred towards the German Emperor. We
say, therefore, that German statesmen
who love the empire and are in their hearts

WHERE THE DANGERLIES.
The Mysterious and Sudden Ending of So
Many Lives Fully Accounted For.

The real danger from Grippe" is in its after
effects. Nine-tenths OF all deaths resulting are
from pneumonia. What is pneumonias 1t is a
sudden stoppage and filling up of the lungs.
Thick, heavy. poisonous mucous gets into the
air-cells and prevents breathing. They clog up
quickly and death ensues. The only salvation
is to keep the lungs working and thus throw of
this terrible mucous. There is only one way in
which this can be done and that is by stimulat-
ing them. Under the influence of proper
amount of pure whisky, the lungs draw in
| deep, full breaths and throw out the poisonous
air. each time it is eXhaled.
| But while this is true and whskey has saved
more lives than any other known remedy, if it
is not pure whiskey, it is liable to have bad
effect If it contains fusel oil, headche or a
foul tongue will be the result. On the other
hand, when an absolutely pure whiskey like
Duny's Pure Malt Whiskey is used no ill effects
can by any possibility follow Prof Henry A.
Mott says: "The purity of Duff's Pure Malt
Whiskey (as simple, analytical test will readily
convince) is absolute and should recommend it
to the highest public favor To all, we unhesi
tatingly say, insist upon having DufTy's and do
not be persuaded to take any other.

REPRESENTATIVE Stone, of Missouri, has

REPRESENTATIVE STONE, of Missouri, has
introduced bill to abolish the Utah COM
mission, devolving its duties upon board
consisting of the governor of the territory,
the secretary and the president of the legis-
lative assembly. We cannot say that the
scheme is a good one for the territory, al
though it might result in saving of a few
thousand dollars to the national treasury.
The commission is viciously partisan, and
performs its few duties like an autocrat
but the board could not well be meaner
than the new one. A change Of system is
certainly desirable, but not change fol-
the worse. Rather than the plan proposed
let US go along as we are. The five com
missioners visit the city occasionally dur
ing the year, and while here spend few
dollars for board and incidental expenses
If they were removed there would be q
little less money in circulation.

SECRETARY WINDOW and Postmaster
general WANAMAKER entertain different
ideas in regard to the duty of heads of de-
partments in the matter of looking after
the morals of governments employers.
WANAMAKER made the postmaster of Bal
timore solemaly swear that he wouldn't
drink glass of intoxicating liquor during
his term of Office, before he would appoint
him. This is enforcing prohibition in a
way which the law does not contemplate.
However, as the postmaster was willing
to take the pledge, others have no right to
complain. When it comes to appointing a
collector OF customs at the city names,
WINDOW did not exact a temperance
pledge, though the local papers say that
the oath would have been much more ap
propriate in this case than in the other.

IN SOUTH Dakota there is little tin but
not enough to pay for working the mines
and reducing the ore. The Senators from
that state, however, are putting in claim
for the protection of an ''infant Industry
and asking an increase of the duty on tin.
1t is likely their plea will meet with fav-
orally response, and all the people of the
United States be taxed ten times the value
of all the tin that Dakota can produce, in
order that few men may be made sud
denly rich.

Captain John Er;csson's Diary.

A characteristic incident in the life Of
Capt. John Ericsson was one which has
not appeared in any Of the newspaper
sketches of the great inventors career. &
For nearly so years Capt. Ericsson
had kept diary, or series OF diaries,
in which he every evening covered afull
page with the history Of the day-the
work he had accomplished, that which,
he proposed doing on the following day,
suggestions made by and to him, and
his opinions concerning the character
of work done and in progress. Added
to these entries were frequently opin-
ions of other mems ideas and their
work which had been brought to his
notice, and in many years these vol
umes increased to very large num-
ber. n..
In the whole period of time mention
ed there were only 20'days-in 1856
when this daily custom was departed
from, and then only because Capt. Err
lesson had had his hand disabled by
machinery and was unable to write. No
one ever was permitted to read this daily
history, and the volumes were always
kept in the Captains own room.
About two and half years ago, when
Froude published his ''tife of Thomas
Carlyle" and his "Reminiscences"
Capt. Ericsson was much disgusted by
the publication of letters and other doc
uments by Carlyle and Mrs. Carlyle,
which he thought never should have
been put into print, and the night after
he had finished these works he called
his private secretary, Mr. Taylor, into
his room, and commanded him to take
the volumes of his diary away and de-
stroy them. There were many thingst !
in the diary, he said, that he shou1dS
wish never to see the light of day, and
the surest way to prevent such thing
was to destroy every volume. Mr.. Tay-
lor nut the leaves of the big book under
cutting machine and cut them into
millions Of pieces. The only thing now
left of this valuable record consists OF
the pasteboard covers of the volumes,
which Mr.. Taylor has preserved.
