HUMAN NATURE STUDIES,
Bismarck's Cigar.

NE LATE Prince Bismarck was not given to
the telling OF stories, but once, at a ban.
quet IN Berlin, says the Columbia, he told one
ot General Moltke, who was dining at the same
table. DO you remember general" ">he said
turning to the great strategist, 'the last time
you accepted cigar from me2" Moltke could
not recall the occasion. 'Well," rejoined Bis
marck, Il myself shall never forget the crcum-
stance. 1t was on the day of Koniggratz, dur.
ing the anxious time when the battle stood still
and we could neither go backward nor forward
when one aid-de.camp after another galloped
of without ever returning, and we could get
no news OF the crown princes coming. / was
frightfully uneasy, and my eyes wandered
round in search Of you. / saw you standing
not far off. You were gazing on the course Of
the battle with a look Of the most serene in.
difference, and the stump of cigar in your
mouth. 'Well,' said to myself, If Moltke can
go on smoking SO calmly a. that it can't be so
very bad with us after all So, riding up,
offered you my case, which contained two cigars,
a good and bad one With the unerring glance
OF true commander, you selected the good one.
| smoked the other myself after the battle, and
| never enjoyed smoke better in my life"

The Amended Rules.

"\GE CHANGE made yester-
day in the last sentence in
u nle 10 of the party rules,
Which before provided that
thscandidaes may procure from the
couny Chairman, ten days before the
time fixed fd holding the primary
election, as many official ballots as
they my desin at cost of printing"
out whhh was Amended by the sub
stitution Of SPECIMEN" for official
ballots, will not cTrect the practice
aimed at. From a Fspecimen" ballot
to an official" ballo is simply the
matter of getting a pNnter to repro
duce the specimen ballot on white
paper, with the county chairman's
printed attest added on The back. Anv
engraver can reproduce .he latter.
The right of the voter to accept be-
fore entering the polling place a
marked ballot to be substituted for the
blank ballot handed to him by the
vigilance committee is not challenged: :
and II 1t were, there is no rule against
the voter asking for helper to mark
MS ballot either as the helper may
choose or to correspond with a speci-
men ballot marked in advance. Where
there is desire on the part of any
PERSON to supervise the voters ballot,
the way is as open now as 1t was be-
fore: and 1t is a wide open way pre-
senting unlimited opportunity to the
adroit manipulation.
The new rule permitting the conyen-
tion by majority vote to delegate the
computing of the returns to the per-
manent officers of the convention In
the presence Of representatives of the
various candidates and of such return
judges as may wish to remain is SEN
sible and its adoption was plainly nee
essary unless future conventions
should wish to employ a corps of light
ming calculators to count the vote while
they are waiting.
The Crawford system, like any other
system, is all right If the conditions OF
Its operation are satisfactory: other
wise, it is all wrong. In Lackawanna
county we still hold to the belief that
those conditions are capable of vast
Improvement.

accepts tho latter theory and pro-
ceeds:
"If the empress dowager has, prac-
tically, encouraged the insurrection Of
the so-called Boxers, whose sole war;
cry is Death to the Christian and the
foreigner! she must be relying, either
rightly or mistakenly. on the support
of some neighboring power which pos
sesses, not only n considerable naval
force, but land army competent to
defend her against all the other treaty
powers. There are but two powers
which might be supposed to satisfy
these conditions, to wit: Russia and
her primary object being known to be
the acquisition of Corea, which, once
In her hands, could be held against
all assailants We arrive then at
the conclusion that 1t is Russia
upon whom the empress dowager Is
counting to sustain her at once against
her Chinese enemies and against other
foreign powers. 1t Is unnecessary to
assume that she has received any as
surances to that effect from the st.
Petersburg government. She may, by
reflection upon the whole Eastern sit
uation, have reached the belief that
Russia, which is liable to be attacked
by Japan before the completion Of the
Siberian railway, could not afford to
reject the tremendous accession of re-
sources which would accrue to her
through the protectorate which the
empress might offer the car. Her
personal interest, We must remember,
Is entirely distinct from the collective
interest of China, but, for that very
reason, 1t might be plausibly argued
that her personal interest and the ma
tional interest of Russia might be al
lied with mutual advantage"
1t is evident, If this was the en-
press idea, that she was grossly self
deceived. Whether Russia would be
willing under milder circumstances to
enter into a deal of this kind is a fair
theme of speculation; but with the
treaty rights of all the powers in pro-
cess of violation and the subjects OF

DOES NOT seem yet
to be any clear explanation
Il of the motive of the Chinese
government in encouraging
the anti-foreigner uprising Of the Box
ers, unless upon the hypothesis of in
excusable Ignorance. This hypothesis
is accepted, we notice, by the New
York Suns usually well-intormed
writer on foreign affairs. BY a pro-
cess of reasoning which on it's face is
logical he arrives at the assumption
that the empress dowager of China,
the present dominant authority of the
Middle Kingdom, instead of earnestly
trying to suppress the Boxer revolt
in its incipiency, has connived at it..
In the hope of making it serve some
purpose of her own.
But what purpose? The Sun writer
considers two conjectures; one that by
playing in with the reactionary inhu-
ence she might establish more firmly
her precarious tenure of power; and
the other, that she hoped to use the
uprising as an excuse for concluding
secret alliance with strong Euro
pean power, which. at the suitable mo-
ment. she would invite to help her re-
store order, and WI ich, having accept
ed that invitation and dispersed the in
surgents, would establish her firmly
upon the throne in exchange for val
liable privileges and concessions. He
