W. A. Mcguire, a well known citi-
zen of Mckay, Ohio, is Of the opinion
that there is nothing as good for
children troubled with colds or Group
as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He
has used it in his family for several
years with the best results and always
keeps a bottle of it in the house. A.
ter having la grippe he was himself
troubled with severe cough. He
used other remedies without benefit
and then concluded to try the child
ren's remedy and to his delight it soon
effected permanent cure. % and

The letter demanding the resignation Of
the Park Commissioners CLAUsEN and TAP
PEN submitted to the Mayor last week by
representatives of the ten art societies of
this city and by six gentlemen known to
be foremost among the lovers Of trotting
horses, was a document rs unusual as the
circumstances which prompted it. First,
it shows that the vandalism complained Of
in the management of the Park Depart
ment, which finds it's best precedent in the
time of TWEED, cannot be perpetrated again
free Of the severest rebuke possible for pub
lie indignation to administer. The gentle
men signing this last communication to the
Mayor, fully accredited by their position in
the community to express its protest against
the revival of an outrage that should have
been buried forever, have performed a pub
lie service Of no trivial value in putting it
SO clearly and prominently ON record.
1t is equally satisfactory to see by the list
of signatures headed with the name Of Mr..
ROBERT BONNER, that the affront offered
to the public by stupidity run to Spite can
not stand in the name Of the hOrsemen.
They, like other good citizens, are anxious
first for the interests of the city; and
tion Of the TWEED policy revealed in the
abuse Of the Harlem Driveway was fathered
by them. This attitude on the part of these
gentlemen was made manifest, moreover,
before the recent nonsensical statement by
Commissioners CLAUsEN and TAPPEN that
the driveway was originally intended to be
simply rural "gravelled roadbed on
which driving at the rate Of twelve to If
teen miles an hour would be safe" 1t is
safe to say that footing for fve-minute
gait or four-minute gait, and a jog with
those limitations, never filled the hopes of
any horseman or lover of the trotting
horse but Mr.. BONNER and his associates
declared themselves, in the specific matter
Of the driveway, fully in harmony with the
artists nearly year ago.
Although this demonstration on the part
of the art societies is valuable, independently
of its effect upon the public officials immedi-
ately concerned, the latter's treatment of it
is of considerable interest. The business of
the Park Department is Of that delicate and
debatable nature that its administrators are
we'll nigh secure from removal for cause
Practically Messrs. TAPPEN and CLAUsEN
occupy to the petitioners for their resigna-
tion the relation of an insulting guest
toward whom his host has been moved to
the extreme objection of a request that he
should retire from the house.

..ood upon the edge Of the crater and looked

stood upon the edge Of the crater and looked
down upon most interesting spectacle.
The crater Is about mile In diameter, and
the top Of the encircling wall, on which the
explorer stood is about 100 feet above the
crater aoor. The inner side Of the wall was
too steep for comfortable descent and in
view Of what was going on at the bottom
there was absolutely no temptation TO make
the journey.
The yellow-hued bottom Of the crater
floor was as smooth as the surface OF lake,
and the explorer believes he was looking
down upon nm expanse OF molten lava
Above this smooth surface rose the walls OF
two orifices, as regularly formed rs though
they had been made OF masonry. From the
more northern of the two ori1ces, which
was over 800 feet in diameter, small
volume of smoke was issuing accompanied
by noise that sounded like the roll Of dis
tant thunder There were unmistakable in
dications that outside OF this crater another
centre of eruption exists on the west side OF
the mountain, but the explorer was unable
to push through the woods to reach 1t.
For some years little lake has appeared
on the maps some distance south Of the place
this volcano has been found to occupy. 1t Is
Lake Kivu, seen by no white man until Won
GOTTEN stood on its shores soon after he had
looked down into the smoking crater. He
says the lake stretched away before him
like sea, and, though 1t was u clear day, he
could not see its southern shores. He be-
lieves the lake is almost as large as Lake
Albert Edward. Its outlet is supposed to
be the Russi River, which enters the north
end OF Lake Tanganyika.
1t is too early to regard the large prizes of
African discovery as all won when such in
teresting and important results reward re-
search as those attained by the latest travel
ler across Africa.

All this Is true enough, and the Malagasy
could no doubt furnish plausible basis for
England's Intervention In their favor II the
British Foreign Office were not estopped by
It's own act from any such interposition. In

SALISBURY, then Foreign Secretary, and the
French Minister for Foreign Affairs, where

acknowledged by the only foreign power
that could dispute her prctensions. Lord
SALIsBURYs course in this matter seems
to have been prompted partly by de
sire TO obtain certain concessions from
the French republic in West Africa,
but mainly by a recognition OF the
fact that, IL barred out OF Madagascar,
France would be most unfairly treated IN
the general partition of African spheres OF
influence. The time has gone by when Eng
lish statesmen could venture to pursue tho
grab-all and dog in the -manger policy, which
was adopted with impunity during the early

sive, that French occupation OF Madagascar
may convert that island into a place OF

SO far as American sympathies are con-
cerned, they will be heartily upon the side OF
the reasonable desire OF France to find

under French direction and influence, be

AN OPINION OF A THOUSAND.
How to Redeem the Democracy.

believe II to be essential to the future success
OF the Democratic party that IL should convince
the people Of the United States that II is in favor
opposed to the free coinage of silver. Moreover,
1t must prove that 1t has no sympathy with Pop
ulism or with any Populistic scheme or theory.
The Democratic party should never attack prop
erty rights or the rights of property, nor should
1t favor any class discrimination. II should ad-
vocate the preservation of the Constitution In
all its original integrity.
Our foreign policy should be firm and vigorous,
and the Monroe doctrine should be en- nforced
Paternalism should not be extended. The Gov
ernment should be confined to its legitimate
OF running railroads or telegraph lines. The
citizen should be allowed the greatest amount of
liberty consistent with the due observance of
the laws. His right TO make any legal contract
should not be impaired by foolish measures like
the anti-option law.
Undoubtedly the course Of many Democrats in
favor Of the free and unlimited coinage OF silver
at the ratio OF l6 to contributed To our defeat
in the Northern and Middle States. while the
wild speeches Of some, in which they displayed
bitter feeling against property, caused alarm
and excited distrust.
In my opinion the income tax should be forth

wrong In principle. II was intended. doubtless,

ly fall heaviest upon the door in our great cities

Returning Unavailable Manuscripts.

Now and then vexation and unhappiness
will arise in newspaper office on account
of manuscripts offered by persons who
wish to earn an honest penny by
furnishing contributions to the press. In
THE Sun Office we receive perhaps one
or two hundred such manuscripts in the
course of a single week, and we are very
glad to examine them, and in many cases
we are glad to publish them, and in some
cases to pay for them. 1t all depends upon
the quality of the article, that is to say, upon
its interest and Importance to the public.
In England, where the principal journals
are-older and more experienced than ours
they generally publish over the first edI-
torial column such an advertisement as this !:
I'VE cannot undertake to return rejected commu-
nications."
This signifies that every volunteer writer
is advised to keep a copy of whatever he
sends to any newspaper. In this country
the usage is less peremptory, and the rule
which is followed by most editors is ex-
pressed in this paragraph, which we print
often and conspicuously in THE SUN:
"If our friends who favor us with manuscripts for
publication. wish to have rejected articles returned
they must In all cases send stamps Tor that purpose
This is the way we endeavor to deal with
the subject; yet We confess that sometimes
it seems severe, not to say harsh, especially
when the unavailable poem or sentimental
story appears to be written by pretty girl
in Chicago or Olympia or Oshkosh or some
other place where beauty is wont to be the
ornament of sweetness and talent.
1t is rather a middle course that is
taken by our new literary and artistic con-
temporary the Chap Book; and we judge
that its editor has in his soul no greater
esteem for blooming girl Of eighteen than
for faded old maid Of fifty. This is the way
he fortifes his hard-hearted position:
THE editor of the Chap Book will In case be re-
sponsible for unsolicited manuscripts. Contributions
must in all be accompanied by a stamped en-.
velope otherwise they will not be read returned"
This we think is going little too far
Why should an esthetical and critical edi-
tor deny himself that qualification OF curl
osity, which can be derived from reading
lot of harmless manuscripts brought by the
post from every quarter under heaven :
He may undoubtedly lose little time
in the effort but now and then he will
be rewarded with a flash of genius, COM
position of delicious naIvete, innocence, and
fancy, which will make him throw all his
rules and regulations TO the dogs, and thank
heaven that a stamped envelope is not the
last production of human intelligence.

BULL AND LION FIGHT.
Madrid Witnesses n Wonderful Contest OF
Novel Fierceness.
Prom me Courier dcs Etats Unf..

From me Courier des Etdts Uni.
The lovers of bull fights in Madrid have re-
Gently been treated to novel spectace-a fight
between a Senegambian lion and a bull from
one of the most famous Drdndderids of CASTLE.
For several days before the sensational repre-
sentation great posters were placed on all the
corners Of the streets picturing the favorite ami
NAL of the Spaniards at the mercy of the king
of the desert. But this more than the citi-
zens of Madrid could stand and in their fury
over the outrage they tore down the posters and
trampled upon them in bully fashion,
Seeming a good business peCulatiOn. the
ticket buyers, who form a solid association in
Madrid, bought UP all the places in the immense
Plaza de Toros and resold them at an enormous
profit
In the presence OF $4,000 persons the mag
niiicent lion Regarde made his debut in n vast
cage specially constructed to meet the exi-
gencies Of the terrible duel that was to take
place. Then the t0riI on wheels containing the
bull Caminero wa. drawn in. The bull was evil

the spectators. But he was soon placed in the
presence Of his adversary AZ this moment the
thing rare indeed in Spain, The spectators,
holding their breath. watched for the first on
two animals eyed each OTHER. and then spranS
forward. The lion endeavored TO fasten his
rfssh r IN the ES throS out he reSsyed ter
PAGES: lie gathered himself together bounded
upon his enemy, and fastened mis- claws in his
side. But Csminero managed to shake him Off
and at last tossed him in the air IA second time
Three times more. the lion sprang at the BULL
and was tossed each time
The advantage now appeared to be on the side
of Camincro, and the crowd, silent up To this
moment. gave him a wild ovation The lion
retired to his corner and endeavored to climb To
the top of the cage hut, before he could succeed
he was again successfully attacked by his re-
yanqushed, with his side torn open, his shout
der crushed. and his teeth broken, he was taken
from the cage, while the crowd hoOted and
laughed. The victor WAS then brought around
the arena in triumph, and he went into the tOril
under perfect shower Of fans. hats. and objects
OF all sorts. The enthusiasm was beyond de-
sCriptiOn.
As for poor Regarde, he died the next day in
his cage, so now go tell the Spsnlards that the
lion, and not the bull, il the king OF beastsl
