A \i\n who left Texas to visit friends
and relatives in a distant state and got
cured of “honehreak” fever, reports 2000
cases of this epidemic in Sherman, and
nays the peculiar part of the matter is
that this kind of Texas fever is a radical
cure for tin* other kind, and that the dif
ference between the two kinds is that
one makes you want to go to Texas and
the other gives you a sudden desire to
gel out of Texas, which a great many are
now doing instanter.
George William Curtis ventures the
opinion that Mr. Blaine will lie warmly
pressed as the most conspicuous leader,
as a great party organizer, as the repub
lican of the largest and most devoted
following, as the only republican who
can command an Irish democratic vote,
and the strongest appeal of all in a party
convention will he the declaration llml
in view of his defeat in ’81 upon personal
grounds, to sol him aside in ’88 will he
to acquiesce tacitly in the personal
charges against him.
On the subject of epidemic influences
the Sanitary Era says: “A sandy soil is
unfit fora cemetery, but a cart loud of
good dried loam placed over, under and
around the eotlin would perfectly absorb
atli the ensuing corruption. Not a par
ticle of ii. solid, liquid or gaseous, could
ever escape or remain to infect the
neighboring air or water. It goes so far
as to say that this enforcement of a
statute requiring this simple process
would 'make the most crowded grave
yard ns wholesome a feature of city or
village as a ilower garden.’ This plan
would he especially useful in case of an
epidemic, but unfortunately that is just
the time when the least care is usually
exercised in interments.

Bulgnriun affairs seems, nt length, to
' have reached a erisis. Russia has de
manded, through her specially instructed
agents what amounts to the uncondi
tional surrender of Bulgaria to the au
thority of the czar. On the other hand,
Austria’s ministry, through the mouth of
a carefully instructed representative, has
j formally declared that such a surrender
; can not he permitted. Both utterances
j are of a distinct and deliberate character.
; Thus the direct issue iH clearly presented.
; It seems settled that a number of Euro-
I pean powers, notably Kngland, Austria
j and Italy have agreed upon resistance to
j Russia’s demand. The situation for
Russia is now exceedingly awkward.
She must either back down or light. To
hack down would he exceedingly humil
iating in the face of the czar’s demands.
To undertake to enforce his demands
would bring war inevitably, mid that, too,
with allied powers, who had carefully
calculated results before taking a defin
ite stand. The solid front of opposition
presented to Russia does not arise so
much from what Russia has done, as
from the manner in which she has done
it. If Bulgaria lmd been disturbed by
an insurrection, too formidable to be put
down by the Bulgarian authorities, then
Russia would have been recognized as
the natural protector ofthat country,and
the restoration of order would have been
left to her. The belief lias been engen
dered, however, that the kidnapping of
Prince Alexander was brought about by
intrigues from the Russian throne.
it now rests with Russia to say when
the war shall begin. Of course it is still
in her power to avert the collision by
abating her pretensions in Bulgaria, re
calling her agent, Knulbars, and asking
II i8 powers to join in a conference for the
peaceful settlement of the question, hut
such a course on her part is not looked
for. The hold tone of Austria and the
belief that Kngland and Italy are hack
of her, will strengthen the Bulgarian
otlicers in their resolution to stand tinn
and not yield an iota to Russia’s de
mands. The situation in Sofia is so
strained and the public so excited, that
it cannot be foreseen what a day may
bring forth. It seems to he admitted
that in case war ensues, the only
active ally that Russia can hope foi
ls France. The attitude of Germany lias
not yet boon so definitely taken. But
Germany being a highly civilized coun
try, is governed a good deal by public
opinion, although her rulers can, in some
degree, delay and obstruct the enforce
ment of the popular will. The same
causes which have crystalized popular
opinion in the rest of Europe into an
active or passive protest against Russian
insolence and aggression, is operative in
Germany also, and will be likely, ulti
mately,to shape her policy. It, is hardly
to be thought that Russia would pur
posely mid deliberately have provoked a
war with several of the leading powers
of Europe, and yet if not,
then il is strange how she could have
committed such a blunder. It must he
that being ruled by a military autocracy,
accustomed to dictatorial methods, and
not schooled in that diplomacy which
carefully considers the condition of the
public pulse before taking a decided
stand, she was not prepared for that ex
pression ol'enlightened public sentiment
which operates so powerfully upon the '
rulers in constitutional governments.
Russia doubtless thought that the only
thing to he taken into account was the
views and feelings of the few
persons who seemed to hold the reins
of government. She didn’t consider that
intelligence has become so widely dif
fused among (he masses even in Europe,
CONSTITUTION A I, AMENDMENTS.
In the state election to be held to-day,
two amendments to the constitution are
to he voted on. The first relates to local
bills—under the constitution required to
be rend first by their title, then referred
to a general committee for consolidation.
They are then reported, read the first
time and again referred, thus consuming
very much time. They can new only be
introduced in the house. If this amend
ment is adopted local billH can he intro
duced in either house, and are placed on
a footing with general bills, only requir
ing to he advertised before being intro
duced. Those who favor changing the
constitution will vote “for ratification.”
Those who do not, will vote “against
ratification.”
The second amendment refers to
wounded confederate soldiers. -As the
law now stands the legislature can ex
tend aid only to those who have lost a
limb. If the amendment is adopted,
those who are permanently disabled
may be aided.

It is not worth while, for the sake of
helping the national banks, to delay the

cedes that the whole of them will have

Here is solid ground on which the
most enterprising southern democrats
will stand and will fight the theoretic
northern free traders of their own party,
us long as the latter care ordare to press
the ugliest and least manageable of all
the democratic issues. The brainiest
southern democrats have got it into their
heads that it is now the turn of their le
gion to lie helped and developed by pro
tection. They believe “there's millions
in it,” and will lighl for it accordingly.
Tin: St. Louis Republican says: On
hearing that Secretary Manning’s break
down was due to defective plumbing in
the treasury department the Sanitary
Engineer sent an expert to investigate.
The result, embellished with various
wood cuts, is published in the last issue.
The plumbing is pronounced “criminally
stupid,” and such that if done by any
plumber in the city of New York “the
guilty party would he liable to fine and
imprisonment.” Editorially it says :
“The information we have received would lead
us to believe that the conditions existing were a
contributory, if not the sole cause of this admin
istration losing the services of one of its ablest
members."
There is it suspicion that the republi
cans have been for the past twenty-live
years fixing up these death-traps for the
democrats, and that whenever one of
the rascals is turned out of an office he
turns on the sewer gas as he leaves.

The St. Louis Critic, in a brief com
ment upon an article which appeared in
tlie Sunday issue of the Republican,
spoke of the writer us the agnostic edito
rial writer of the Republican, and said
that lie had animadverted upon a prac
tice of the seventh commandment when
he meant (lie eighth. Below is llie
reply :
“We would call the Critic’s attention to the
fact that an essential difference between an ag
nostic and an ignoramus is illustrated by its par
agraph. An agnostic knows nothing nud knows
it. An ignoramus does not know anything and
doesn't know it. Had the Critic’s writer been an
agnostic lie would have known that he does not
know what tlie seventh commandment is, and
that no one els does, though the controversy
has gone on over it since tlie times of Josephus,
Philo Judeans, St. Augustine, St. Jerome and
Maimonldes. Being merely an ignoramus, how
ever, lie knew nothing without knowing it."

A move is being made in Charleston to
execute the vagrancy laws against the
crowds of idlers who have made the city
their headquarters. They have been
notified that they must go either to work
or to jail. Care is being taken to limit
charity to those who really deserve it.
The natural tendency of free rations is to
produce idleness. No greater nuisance
cun exist than a horde of idlers looking
to charity for their daily support.
Bo long as help and active sympathy
serves the purpose of infusing new vigor
and new hope in the recipient, it is
doubly beneficial, but the moment it
checks exertion and produces a tendency
to depend upon others, it becomes hurt

Charleston authorities in driving the

ANARCHIST VISITORS.
The immeasurable effrontery of foreign
anarchists is evidenced by the visit of
the two members of the league, Aveiing
and Liebkuecht to Chicago for the pur
pose of challenging the verdict of guilty
against the seven Ilaynuirket dynamiters.
These destructionists not only assume to
change times and laws, hut to erect gov
ernments within governments and re
view the verdicts of juries in all lands.
Impudence never reached the point of
sublimity before this. This is a land of
liberty, hut it is also a land of law. If
the two foreign gentlemen can find any
profitable employment they had bet

of this country don’t need any outside
assistance in dealing with its criminals.
