Bad showing for Rard.I.v.

The application for the pardon of Treas
urer Bardsley, now before Gov. Hastings
of Pennsylvania for action, is opposed by
Bank Examiner Drew, who lost his Office
by reason of the failure of the keystone
national bank. Drew says that instead of
being the victim of that failure, Bardsley
was its author, and stripped the bank Of
its funds. Besides exacting and receiving
more than $100,000 in interest on the city
account, he stole 100000 on fraudu-
lent claim, pr)of of which was in posses
sion of the government at the time the
claim was presented. Mr.. Drew does not
explain why it was this proof was not
used in the Trial of Bardsley. Mr.. Drew
further says that Bardsley has not assisted
in recovering money for the public, but has
on the contrary refused to give information
which would lead to the recovery of large
sums hidden by himself or his confederates.
More than 100000 of his thefts remain
unaccounted for. Mr.. Drew asserts that
there is no popular movement to get a suf-
fering victim out of jail, but only bust
ness and political conspiracy to release
Bardsley. In short, he describes the move
ment in Bar6sley's behalf as fraudulent
Springfield Republican.

The British Advance in the soudan.

After a period of preparation the Brit
ish troops have taken up their march
against the Madhists and will endeavor to
give them battle at Dongola, in the vicni-
ty of which the Dervishes are said to be
massing. The Anglo-Egyptian force is
not large, numbering about $4,000 men,
but the troops have been selected with the
greatest care, and they will be supported
by large Arab contingent. The army is
supplied with the best fighting appliances
which modern military science can furnish,
and would be able to dscomfit very SUI
perior force of the Madhists, who are now
supposed to number about $4,000. Os-
man Digna, the experienced and formula
BILE leader of the Dervishes, may be able to
oppose Gen. Kitchener with much
stronger force, but in 1885 an English
corps numbering 100 routed 10000 Arabs,
and on the following day defeated another
Arab force of $4,000. If Osman Digna
can be drawn into battle with the force
now said to be under him the success of
the Anglo Egyptian army may be conf
IDENTIFY expected and the reconquest of the
Soudan assured.

wind in which experiments have ever been
safely conducted. The wind had an aver

speed attained by the machines in the

miles an hour, making the speed through

Weyler, the Butcher,

From the Boston Transcript of Sept i4l
Yesterday within the Notifications of
Havana 81 insurgents were shot. They
were not shot with arms in their hands,
soldiers who had made their way into the
fortresses, but were prisoners, who, after
languishing in confinement for some time,
were put to death. Weyler is anxious, evil
IDENTIFY, to vindicate his sobriquet, "the
butcher" for he has TO all appearances
given up his aspirations to be deemed
soldier. He can shoot prisoners, but that
is all he is good for. His career in the field,
if he can be said TO have ever been in the
field, has been one long succession of
blunders. With an army of 125, 900 men
he can think of nothing to do with them
but to coop them up behind trocha, while
40 Mosbys raid the country beyond it. If
the insurgents could but seize seaport. it
would be all over with the Spaniards in
Cuba, for recognition would then be forth
coming. The United States would lead in
recognition, and other nations would be
glad to follow, for the world is weary of
seeing one fair island perpetually ravaged
by an army that dares to shed only the
blood of the unarmed.

Pomp Of purple and flashing green,
Whirling surf like a snowdrift seen:
Shining afar a milk-white wing,
A living, moving, sentient thing;
Farewell, summer, sweetest conner,
A long farewell TO thee.
What color, warmth and mystery,
A tender bloom DER sky and sea;
Low music of the laughing wave
Through grotto deep and ocean cave
Tresses Of tawny sea-weed hair
Cling to the rocks so wild and bare.
Farewell, summer, sweetest conner,
A long farewell to thee
A quickened sense, a subtle change,
Where'er the careless eye doth range,
The splendor of a vintage rare
Spilled on the warm translucent air,
Septemberwave5 her banners high
On spikes OF gold against the sky.
Farewell, summer, sweetest conner,

The Armenian Question Rests with
England.

from the Philadelphia Ledgerl
The proposition which has been made
in England that the United States and
Great Britain should unite to put down the
Turk and save the Armenians, is one that
would naturally occur to humanitarians
familiar with the character of the two
countries, and the conclusion that these
two could do the work regardless of CONT
mental Europe is, doubtless, sound, but
what a reversal of American doctrines is
implied in this suggestion! This country
would have to abandon its traditional policy
of non-interference, whose success in the
past has justified Washington's advice to
maintain il; would have TO cease to assert
the Monroe doctrine, would have to take
an interest in all the petty squabbles and
sectional jealousies of Europe, and would
subject itself to insult, injury and even in
yasion, at the caprice or intrigue of rival
nations. We are bound to the Armenians
only by the ties of common humanity, and,
however much our ideas of justice and hu-
manity may be outraged by the atrocities
of the Turk, It's clearly not our business
TO stop them. Great Britain has arrogated
to herself the position of policeman to the
world, and Great Britain is the self-consti-
tuted guardian OF the Turk, with the Eu-
ropean nations as coadjutors. 1t is their
business to keep the heather within
bounds, and if he commits wholesale MUIR
der and outrage, on them rests the re-
sponsibility.
