BISMARCK,S PLUCK.

Anecdotes of the great Bismarck con-
tinue to be published Among the re-
cent ones are these by ]. p. Grund. in
the North American Review:
Motley pays Bismarck the tribute,
among others, in a letter 10 Lady Will
lam Russell. OF possessing the most IN
daunted courage. When the PruSsians
entered Paris Bismarck saw that when
the men in the mob recognized him they
scowled at him furiously. He at once
rode up to the wickedest looking one,
asked him civilly for a light for his ci-
gar, thanked him, and received a po-
lite bow in return When the late John
Morrissey saw a bad man. a gambler
who had threatened to shoot him on
sight, standing at the bar of the Grand
Union in Saratoga. he walked up 10 the
bar quite close to him, poured out u
tumber of ice water drank it, and walk
ed out without once looking at the man.
In case of that kind, said John. in the
hoarse whisper peculiar TO him. al
ways think it best TO come straight to
the front
so il was with Bismarck. and John
was a bit of a Bismarck in his way;
While the Prince IN MS younger days
was gifted with tremendous physique and
readiness to box without the muffie.'
He gave fearful thrashing once in a
Berlin beer hall to a man who wantonly
insulted him. He himself told me that
he received queer compliment near ST.
Petersburg from a Russian istvochik or
cabman. a very rough fellow. indeed as
they all are The Prince hired him to
take him out of town to a village nearby,
paid him with a handsome gratuity and
dismissed him. The man, however. was
dissatisfied. demonstrated. and finally
became insolent and even threatening.
Bismarck seized him. turned him around,
and with one vigorous kick sent him
flying down the entire flight of stairs.
The man got up. and. while rubbing him
self, glanced at him, not without admi-
ration is naschi' he said. one of

The Yellow Fever Panic.

That the white people of Mississippi
should become the victims of a yellow
fever panic is not to be wondered at
With the memory Of virulent epidemics
that carried away large percentage Of
those who remained at home, either
through necessity or courage, and of
the helplessness Of the physicians un-
der the ravages of the disease, the only
rational course that presents itself is
fight. Once their fears find voice panic
is inevitable, and all the highest quail
ties of the civilized man give way be-
fore the terror. There is excuse enough
for the masses of the people who have
only themselves to consider; though
when IL comes to driving people away
from their towns without regard to
their harmlessness, ii is reprehensible
beyond description. 1t is recalled that
a number Of physicians. members Of
health boards, were not permitted TO
pass through a town on a fast train
to keep an appointment with other
health officers at a station far away.
Similar crazy events were common in
the last epidemic.
But while we can feel only sorrow
for the people whose terror causes more
acute suffering than any physical pain
could. it is hard to find words strong
enough to characterize the utter cow
ardice Of the despicable governor and
some other officers of the State The
governor fed from Jackson, the capital,
before q majority of its citizens had
become panic-stricken. Indeed, his ex-
ample did more than anything else to
terrorize the community. He sought
his own home. taking his family with
him. Here his neighbors were so dis
gusted by his cowardly course that they
adopted a resolution ordering him and
his family out Of town Later they al
lowed his family to remain, but re-
fused to permit so shameless creature

TUESDAY, OCTOBER II. 1898.
Neither Miles Nor Roosevelt.

The newspaper press-or so much Of
1t as is not in the bonds of partisanship
and compelled to place party success
above mere justice and the future well
fare of the army-has come to the view
of The Times as TO the purpose Of the
Alger Relief Commission. The general
public, too, has reached the same
point. Its work is-exactly of the kind
suggested by Secretary Aiger's request.
which did not include an investigation
OF the scandals, and its work is virtual
ly done. Comments on the daily efforts
10 exclude everything that could re-
feet on the efficiency of the War De-
partment would have been absurd. ana
no newspaper has attempted to make
them. The press and the public have
been denied any accurate knowledge Of
she proceedings. receiving only so much
carefully-edited news as the Commits
sion chose to give out.
The only matter of present interest is
the failure of every effort of the news
papers to get Colonel RooseyeIts Off
cial report before the Commission and
the refusal of the body TO call General
MILES dS u N4llSSS- 1ncSS Two IninSS
are enough to expose the character
and aim Of the Commission. Captain
Howell according to Mr.. Hawthorne
distinctly stated that it was the plan
TO examine all the higher officials and
then descend to subordinates. The ex-
animation has descended to colonels.
and the body is about ready for its
junket to the camping grounds, but
neither General Miles nor Colonel
Roosevelt has been invited to appear
Everybody knows why. There can be
no mistake about it. II would have
been easy to get General Miles on the
stand. He was here and had time 10
give to the business Hereafter, as
the Commission meant it should be. it
will be inconVenient to examine him.
Even the most organic of Republican
newspapers have ceased to speak seri-
eusly Of the farce.
