IT is stated that jealousy has become
apparent between Balfour and Chamber
lain. That has been made evident, the
correspondents say, by the absence Of
one when the other was present at the
sessions Of Parliament. II is certainly
true, as the correspondents declare, that
the tactics employed against Gladstone
chiefly on the recommendation Of Cham
berlain, have resulted in ridiculous fall
ure. But the immediate cause Of the
breach is due TO the fact that
"A month ago Chamberlain was rash
enough to declare that this year these
appropriations should be obstructed
inch by inch and discussion Of them
extended Indefinitely But the Tory
members quietly notified Bdfour that
they were following him, not Chamber.
lain, and unless he said so they would
not remain in London during September
merely to make quorums for the displa }
Of Birmingham mallgnity." Whether
true or not it is stated, also, that Bal
four was privy to this slight. But
however that may be, IL is certain thai
Gladstone must have done ali OF NOR,
than he expected to do and that he ha
again proved himself to be- the greatest
tactical political leader Of this or Of an,
other age.

THE attempts to lay the imaginary
blame Of the prophetic failure Of the
passage Of the Repeal bill upon Mr.
Cleveland, is. in a certain sense, humor-
Gus. It is refexive humor. It puts
ridisule upon the man who imagines such
a thing possible. How failure to re
peal the laws enacted under the last
administration can reflect ON the virtue
and intelligence Of the present admins.
trAtion is a problem which cannot be
solved otherwise than by a system Of
reasoning, which, II persisted In, will
send mental somersaulters to an asylum
for men whose minds act in that alb
normal manner. The failure Of the
Repeal bill will hurt the country, not
the man who opposed the Sherman Silver
Purchase bill, who would have vetoed it,
who wrote that famous silver letter who
called Congress together TO repeal the
bill. Such proposition Is funny be-
cause it presents such inaonstant ideas,

up TO 2l1, 600 copies without doubt the
largest edition of any magazine in the
world for this month IL remained for
the Cosmopolitan to have the Worlds
Fair treated in a single number by
twelve different writer's. As the ex
position of 1898 must remain one of the
leading events ia the history of the
United States, the most distinguished
men were asked TO prepare this magazine
volume, which is destined TO become
valuable as one of the most perfect des-
criptions of tho Worlds Fair. Among
the number of those who contribute are
our only eX-president, Walter Besant
the most distinguished of the English
literary men who visited the exposition,
and a host OF others Besides the usual
fiction, including a story by Mark Twain,
entitled, 'ls He Living or is He Dead.
and the regular departments, The Cos
mopolitan contains nearly one hundred
Illustrations devoted to the Worlds Fair,
including eleven fun pages Il is pro-
nounced one of the most remarkable of
the publications yes issued regarding the
fair IL is a completely illustrated guide

A FRESH WATER SEA sERPENT.-The
latest from the sea serpent, comes
from the upper Ottawa river. Mrs.
Lahey, farmers wife, according to
the Ottawa Free Press, went down to
the river to do her washing. Going
to dip bucket of water out of the
river, she found great log in the way.
She took pole and undertook to push
the log out of the way, and to er hor-
ror found that the side rf the log sunk
inward under t:.c force of her efforts,
but the log itself would not give an
inch. While she stood considering
what to do suddenly the log rolled
over and about 10 feet from her the
head of hideous monster rose feet
above the surface of the water, hi ssing
in a snakish way, and then with an
her roll and splash Of its tail,
which was fully 20 feet from where
the head appeared, the animal plung-
ed toward the middle of the stream
and disappeared. The lady was SO
terrified by the sight that she tainted,
and was confined to the bed for sew
eral days.

TRAMP TREATMENT IN SAN FRAN
CIsCo.-San Francisco has been great
ly troubled with tramps during the
recent hard times, and as the ordinary
processes Of law seemed inadequate
to afford relief, heroic measures wele
resorted to. The tramps have been
in the habit Of loating on the fruit
docks, piliering by day and taking
possession OF the tarpaulins as sleep
ing places by night. The merchants
who were annoyed by them proceed
ed to organize an anti tramp associa-
ton, and concluded that involuntary
baths would have a more salutary
effect on the yagrants than short
tern l.. Jail. They accordingly hired
some muscular assistants and raided
the wharves. The first victim was
placidly smoking on pile Of sacking
when the regulators seized him. His
protest that he could not swim was
unheeded, and in twinkling he was
ovelb board at the end of a rope and
dragging in the water. Taken out
half drowned, the fellow was chased
Oft the wharf, and the committee then
turned theii attention to his brethren.
Tramps who could swim were thrown
into the sea to make their way out as
best they could, and tie non-swim-
mer> all got a bath by the simple pro-
cess already described.

the last meeting, reported that to
bridge the canal at Lockport, dirt
bridge would be preferable-100 feet
long, % feet deep, so as to give a
crest of 80 feet, and 3 feet above the
level of the earth.
The President was instructed "to
sell at public auction to the lowest
bidder, the contract for the construc-
ton OF the SAID bridge"
Numerous petitions for relief on ac
count of the dangerous condition Of
the levees were presented to the jury.

CHOLERA IN JERSEY CITY.-The New
York E.ening World states that a few
DAYS since a woman said to be suffer
ing with genuine Asiastic cholera was
taken to the Jersey City Hospital.
The matter looks more suspicious be-
cause the health authorities absolute
ly refuse to give any information
about the case, alleging that the
health office was not satisfied as to
the nature of the disease. 1t is known,
however. that the house from which
the woman was taken was hurriedly
bnt thoroughly fumigated. The wo.
man came from No. 3 State street,
and the place is now IN charge of TIE
authorities.
