No OCCASION FOR SURPRISE.

No OCCASION FOR SURPRISE
Considerable surprise is being ex
pressed that ex-Secretary of the
Treasury John G. Carlisle has ac-
cepted the position Of railroad
Attorney, We see nothing strange,
inconsistent or unusual in the &C
ceptance of such a tender. Mr..
Carlisle is one Of the ablest attor-
neys of the United States. whose
eminent legal abilities are known
and recognized throughout the
bounds Of our almost iililDltable
domain. Being a man of limited
resources, and well advanced in
life, he is dependent upon the
practice of his profession, to recoup
the losses which he has sustained
in the service of his State and the
general government. If his abili
ties are such as to entitle him to
recognition by the railroads, why
should he decline the protfered pc
sition and thus throw away the
magnificent possibilities within his
reach, Of accommodating a compe-
tence with which to pass III ease
aud dignifed retirement the re
mainder Of his already brilliant
terrestrial career. While it is the
universally accepted belief that all
railroads are ''s0ulless corpora.
tions," never hesitating to Cypress
and enrich themselves at the eX
pense of the people through whose
territory their lines of traffic per
meate, it must be admitted that
they have the same legal rights as
individuals and no man should be
condemned because Of his accep-
lance of a trust to defend the
rights and interests, when attack
ed, Of any railroad.

at Frankfort, at IL IN. to day, in
extra session, to elect a United

Blackburn, the rampant free silver
blatherskite, whose demagogic
course, to retain bis seat in the
Senate, threw Kentucky, for the

it will doubtless remain until sober

DID Nor RECEIVE MUCH FA-
VoR.--The bill introduced in the
House of Representatives just pre-.
vious to adjournment, to prohibit
the publication by newspapers of
cuts and other matters relating to
prize fights, was antagonized at
the very moment of introduction
as calculated to institute, if not
really so intended, governmental
censorship over the press and nat
urally did not receive much favor.
While this is free country and
newspapers have a right to pub
9ish whatsoever those in control
conceive to be to the financial ad
vantage and best interests Of,their
journals, subject only TO legal res
possibility for any libelous exer
else OF that right, Without any
governmental revision Or censor
ship, still it would be conducive to
a better state of morality, if some
plan could be devised by which
the disgusting details preceding
and following prize fights, with
which the pnblic is surfeiied ad
stsaseam, could be excluded from
the columns Of the pubic journals.

Secret Of Russia's Diplomatic Sue.
cess.

No power can boast of greater
diplomatic successes in modern
times than Russia. This is admit
ted in the press of all countries,
but the cause of this success is not
quite apparent to the modern jour
nalist. The adhesion of France to
Russia is largely accepted in ex-
PLANTATION. The growing enmity
between Germany and England is
also mentioned as an important
factor. The ST. PeteysJuyyey letting,
however, believes that Russia's
steadfastness is the chief cause of
her diplomatic successes. Other
countries: thinks the paper, change
their administrators and their pol
icy too frequently. We select the
following from our Russian con
temporary's argument:
"When Isaac Newton was asked
how he managed to discover the
law of gravitatlon, he answered !:
Il always was thinking about it,
We are always reminded of this
when we read the comments of the
foreign press on the success of
Russla's diplomacy. The fact is,
Russia steadily follows the same
aims and leaves the management
of her affairs as much as possible
in the same hands. During the
last seventy.tive years Russia has
had only four Ministers of Foreign
Affairs, viz: Nesselrode 1882 Soy,
Gortschakov 1S5G S2), Giers and
Lobanow Rostowski. With the
exception of Nesselrode, whose ex.
IRENE age forced him to retire, all
died in harness. No other Euro
pean country has its affairs admin
istered with such stability. Only
two foreign statesmen held their
positions in a similar manner, Met
ternich in Austria (1S00 49,, and
Bismarck in Prussia and Germa-
ny (1S62-90). If we except these,
the term Of office is very short.
According to the Gaulois, the aver
age life of a French Ministry un.
der the present Republic is only
8 months and II days. The Du-
faure Ministry managed to remain
in Office 9 years, 4 months and 5
days; Rochebouet and Fallieres,
however, lasted only three weeks
each. The present French Cabi,
net is the thiriy-sixth since the
Republic was established. In
Spain and Italy changes are also
very frequent. England is a little
better off in this respect, for the
Cabinet does not generally resign
until it's party is defeated. Aus
tria had five Foreign Ministers
since 1866, and Germany has now
her third Chancellor since 1870.
If we regard the diplomatic sue.
cesses Of these several countries, it
will be found that the greatest
stability has been attended by the
best results. Russia is a good IL
!ustration of this, especially as
each Russian Minister for Foreign
Affairs has faithfully carried out
or continued the policy of his pre-
decessor. The death of Lobanow
was blow to Russia. He was
comparatively young aud could
have benefited his country by an
administration of many years. 1t
is to DO hoped that his successor
Murajew will be more fortunate.

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication Of con-
dition Of the blood which produces a
fery irritation almost unbearable. II Is
a mistake to think that this local irrita-
tion is the disease itself--it is simply an
evidence of disordered condition Of the
blood. The seat OF the disease Is in the
blood, and this is why the various salyes
aud ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that, S. S S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanentlycures Eczema
and removes all taint.
Much torture could be avoided II the
first itching symptoms were needed and
course ofS.S.S. taken promptly, as APP
parently insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
of Eczema unless properly treated.
It matters not what other treatment
has been tried In vain, S. S, S, alwaya
gets at the seat Of the disease, and
forces Il out.
