Tiik International Prison .AHHoeiation into meet in Atlanta, in November. There is a kind of eternal fitness of' things illustrated in the fart that Ruther ford li. Hayes is president of this associa tion. lie sympathized doubtless with men who, he knows, are where lie ought to be. A new months ago it was the style to dig a cyclone pit under every house in the west. If a cyclone didn’t eome the labor wasn’t lost, for the man of the house could crawl into the pit and close the trap door when his wife got mad with him. But they are useless in these times. The earthquake would shake a man out of a storm pit like a raccoon out of a tree. ________ TIIK CONSTITUTION'S P0ETKSS. The Atlanta Constitution says its poetic contributor “ Lola” writes poetry that has not been surpassed since the days of By ron, as her poem on another page enti tled, "I am Tired,” would testify. If “ Lola” is a poet after the Byronic cut of jib, and is a woman, too, she must be a howling terror, and we can’t summon the courage to read “I am Tired.” But we will say to 11 Lola” that we are thinking about putting our hair up in paper and sitting down and dedicating her a little poem entitled “So am 1.” Tumble. “ Lola ?” HOW TIIKY HKNII KI,MOWS. Numerous are the remarks made by drinking men when about to take a drink. Who has not noticed and count ed them? A traveled man says, "Viva.” One who cannot see that he is full says, “Here’s looking at you.” One who is drinking himself to deatli says, “Here’s your health.” One who cannot tell where his next drink will come from says, “How.” A Frenchman who had traveled in America on his return home said of the drinking customs here : “The American monsieur is full of conlra- dietdons when he drinks. il- puts eon 1 brandee to make it strong and vat or to J make it weak. He puts ecu lemon to j make it sour and sugar to make it sweet. ■ Hen lie says, ‘Here’s to you,’ and by gar he drinks it hissolf.” .1 M'KSONVIIiIjK .lOUUNAMSW. For three or four months the three dai lies in the little city of Jacksonville have been treating a small section ofthe Amer ican public to a dose of billingsgate that would put the tishwomen of London to shame. It lias been nauseous to contem plate, much less to swallow. They have aired each other’s records thoroughly. They have peeled the hide from each other's reputations in tlakes as thick as a sow's ear. Now Editor Jones puts all editors on notice that from henceforth he “will utterly ignore ull personal references not made in a respectful, courteous and gentlemanly manner.” If we ever have occasion to call Editor Jones n falsifier, a blackguard or a scoundrel, we shall re member to do it in “a respectful, courte ous and gentlemanly manner.” There's nothing mean about us. IN TIIK BALKANS. The announcement was made in the house of commons the other day that “a change in the government of Bulgaria cun cii’y occur in accordance with the treaty of Berlin, and with the consent of the signatory powers to that treaty. England hud no separate interests in reference to Bulgaria. The election of a new prince must be unanimous.” This sounds as if England intended to take a very different course from that which she is likely to follow, and tho New York Times suggests that it is doubtless meant as a reply to the well aimed shafts of the opposition press as to the undignified position in which the government finds itself. By the popular desire, strongly expressed, to sustain an independent government in the king dom which now practically embraces the whole Balken country, and by the queen’s known sympathy with Prince Alexander (the brother of iter son-in- law,) and iter known resentment toward the czar, the government was, in appear ance, committed to a definite support of the Bulgarian prince. The announce ment in parliament yesterday fairly gives the impression that at least Eng land will insist that Russia shall gain nothing by the overthrow of the prince which the signatory powers to the Berlin treaty will not consent to. II K WATKIt toil IIIjAINK. The mugwumps take much pleasure in accepting tile responsibility ofthe defeat of Hun. Janies <^. Bluiue in the Iasi presidi ntlal contest. The result of the elect ion was sn.eiose ill it, smarting under defeat, leudifti repiibbeaiis who were lukewarm in their support of Mr. Blaine m who failed to support him at all, were roundly abused for 1 heir indifference. Many republicans profess to believe that had ihe republican leaders entered heartily into the campaign that Mr. j Cleveland would have been defeated and the “Plumed Knight” given the roins of j government. Among the lender-in tho republican party who failed to nerve themselves up ton higher degree of enthusiasm, Sena tor Edmunds, of Vermont, was a con spicuous character. lie is on record us j having voted for Blaine, and did manage to make one speech in behalf of the re publican candidate, hut it iwas like throwing water upon a lire, so far us re sults are concerned. For this the Blaine- ites have been threatening Senator Ed munds with a rebuke by securing his de feat as senator from Vermont. But it seems that Edmunds is a bigger man in Vermont than Blaine, and the relinking business counts for hut little. In the election held a day or two since ninety out of one hundred and twelve republi cans elected members of the house of representatives favor the re-election of Senator Edmunds. This gives him a ma jority of fifty-eight in the republican vote and a majority of forty in a total vote of the house. Thus Senator Edmunds will he his own successor, regardless of the threats to oust him. Gov. Smith is his rival, and a relent less fight lins been made against Ed munds. He is the president of a rail road of which Mr. Edmunds is the at torney. Intalking about him just before the election, one of Gov. Smith’s advo cates said that cold, distant, self-sufficient, lie lacks the magnetic qualities which bring the Maine statesman so close to the hearts and interests of the people. “Mr. Edmunds,” says one of his Ver mont critics, “might serve as an ambassador in heaven, but his virtues and alleged legal abilities are not adapted to the common place requirements' of a little state like Vermont.” An inferior man, it is held, would better serve the ordinary purposes of Vermont humanity. But the main objection is that the senator deserted his party in its extremity, and, by his osten tatious apathy, caused it to lose control ofthe government. For this he is now to lie punished, if possible, by being re tired to private life. But he is not retired any worth men-, tinning, and thus the “Plumed Knight” again has cold water thrown on his can didacy by this same man Edmunds. BIAZ’N INSTRUCTIONS. President Dins, of Mexico, line issued a decree Inst ructing the governors ofthe republic to be careful how they arrest foreigners, so that no charge of injnstice con be brought against Mexi co.—Exchango. The above paragraph sounds amusing to one who is familiar with the autonomy ofthe Mexican government. President ! Hiaz had about as well chain a tomcat and a tender mouse to the sumo stake and i toll them to keep the peace with one j another while he went off’ to wet his i whistle—whatever that i“. Every Mexican constable tlmt can get a commission and a pistol—especially o'n the border—considers an Ameiican against whom he can trump up any perjury-supported charge ns his lawful prey. The magistrates uphold the constables anil the governors of the Mexican states uphold the magistrates. The federal government in Mexico i- veritable moonshine. First, it was never fully organized, and repeated revolutions have kept it from erystalizing even in its imperfectly organized state. When a federal order is issued which a governor of a state thinks unwise, he virtually tells the president to help him self. iso Diaz's instructions to the gov ernors amounts to an amusing piece of emptiness. The average Mexican gov ernor is a cross between a billet-doux writer and a bandit. In other words lie is a representative of the upper class in Mexico. He is a polished man, without patience or reason, who is liter ally soaked with prejudice against the American people. The ‘instructions” of President Diaz will ac complish about as much as if he had di rected them to the man in the moon. But these instructions amount to little now even if they could accomplish any thing since the great and only Cutting is loose. There is no telling when he will bob up on the Mexican borders again, however, and appear in his great specialty as riotous and disorderly. It would be a good idea now that we’ve got him over here, for the United States government to put him in jail, on the same principle that a man chains n valu able dog that is too fierce to run at large. TOO SWIFTLY CONIIKMNKI). Some of our esteemed eotemporaries seem disposed to severely criticise the conduct of Prince Alexander since his return to Bulgaria. One of them assumes that it is the first duty of a king to take care, of his crown and pronounces one who does otherwise as a coward. We submit that it is, indeed, a humil iating position in which the sovereign of Bulgaria now stands. But that the un fortunate prince deserves the swift con demnation that has been visited upon him we cannot agree. He ha* very re cently shown high qualities of physical and moral courage, and those who by in ference call him a coward arc along way off. I' lins been t en truthfully said that “to lei!-; tic crown of little Bulgaria with its liumBiil of troops and its two millions of inhabitants against the power of Rus sia would be impossible; to continue to hold it in face of the czar's insulting threats would be to Invite a remorseless war of destruction and oppression against a generous and loyal people, whose devotion to the prince of their choice has become an oft'ence to an irreri. tible enemy. When all the facts come to be known, II may turn out that the letter of l’rinee Alexander to the czar was written by bis ministers, in his name and with his ente-ent, hut nby bis desire; also j that Ids abdication, if it .ceines to lie j accomplished, is of his own proposal and j wholly for bis people’s sake. To say j the least, it is too soon yet to pronounce tlie young prince of Bulgarin n coward on account of conduct which may better deserve the praise of heroism." It is an evident fact that the primary condition 'of prosperity for the ruler of a Balkan province is to lie on good term with tlic emperor of Russia. Prime Alexander has perceived that, blit he linn perceived it,too late. If lie had kept this fact in view from the first, he would never have had any trouble. Our "hind siglits are better than our fore sights,” but if Alexander had compre hended what was going on, his position would not now have been so ridiculous. As a prince, who was the victim of vio lence and a midnight conspiracy, there was a certain heroic interest in his case, and the world could sympathize with him. As a prince, returingto an enthu siastic nation, he loomed up somewhat grandly, and appealed likely to become of moment in the world as the founder of a militant monarchy. But as a prince, spurned by the imperial foot that lie endeavors to kiss, lie is not a figure of first-class dignity. Dion Uoui'lrault. Dion Boucicault, the aged and successful actor, said in London the other day that he was leaving England and its “infernal fogs” for the last time, and coming to America where the people and the country suited him. It isn’t “infernal fogs” that ails the aged and festive Dion in England. Dion Boucicault. like Ned Buntline, lip-s a passion for getting married. Sometimes he forgets and does it too often. He left a wife in England a year ago, and married a giddy girl member of his troupe while in Australia on a tour. It is the other wives, and not the “infernal fog” that are getting too thick for the gay and grey deceiver. Yes. Dion, you can work the plural wife racket all right over here. And if you were a little younger, you could go to Utah and distinguish yourself as a marryer. We Are Here! TAX NOTICE.
