The two live foxes got away and gained their freedom, hut they caught the scent-hag. It is said that the president’s attention will he called 1o the scandalous disregard of his civil service letterof instruction by democratic olliceholders. II is high time, if the president’s requests are anything more than idle words. The disciplining of*a democratic ollicelmldorfor an infrac tion of civil service reform rules 1h yet to ho recorded. 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. | THE IIITAIABIAR IfllWOHMO. 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. ID if) ■1 It is not worth while, for the sake of helping the national banks, to delay the calling of their bonds. Everybody con cedes that the whole of them will have to he called within the next twelve months. Better call them at once and stop the interest. 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. ami II 0 spirit ol' imlcpcmlcnt 11 ought so beiiur that for till sum in hand paid a peerage tflMllTI 1 11 mt the voice of the pe •l‘le 1ms will be bestowed i pon Mr. Hanson.

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." Accord«d Our Lasi Sunday’s Advertisement. LOTS AND CORDS OF Handsome Wool and Silk Dress Goods Novelties SOLD.

The Jew has Been persecuted and oppressed by the Russian government, hut heretofore it Inis explained its action as a necessity rendered imperative by popular prejudice. In this instance the oppression isa simple exercise of the arbitrary despotism which has made Russia infamous among nations and threatened civilization by producing the nihilists and driving desperate men to the use of dynamite. 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 ful. AN e think the step taken by the Charleston authorities in driving the idlers to work is altogether proper and praiseworthy. she wdl have to consider, not simply what the heads of the governments think of her proceedings, hut how her actions will a/leet public sentiment.

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 ter engage in it. The courts of this country don’t need any outside assistance in dealing with its criminals. When foreigners fail to appreciate the responsibilities, as well as the privileges of American citizenship, they will he taught that it would he altogether better for the safety of their necks to remain on the other side of the Atlantic. Whenever a man seeks to uphold or der and enforce the laws of the land, he is a good citizen, and as such will he welcome to all the blessingsand privileges of a free country, no matter where he hails from, but when he seeks to bring about disorder and confusion he will be dealt with as an enemy and an outlaw - ululate 1‘oiitinil riipi The prohibitionists have ti congress in Wisconsin.
