RoscOE CONKLINO has' pertinently
characterized the result of democratic
effort as "snivel service reform. "
"Do YOU realize , sir , " said a long
haired passenger , "that there is One
who sees and hears all we do , who can
solve our inmost thoughts , and before '
whom we are but crushed and bruised ;
worms ? " "Give us your hand , strang- j
cr , " replied the other , "I know just-
how you feel. I'm married myself. " '

GENERAL KAULBAHS still remains in
Bulgaria inciting opposition to the gov
ernment and fomenting insurrection.
General Kaulbars' programme is some
what similar to that of Baron Mentchi-
koff at Constantinople in 1853 when he
tried to bully the .sultan into conceding
the czar's claims and succeeded in
drawing on the war for which llussia
was thirsting. Omaha Bee.
WHILE Geronimo is a captive , mem
bers of his family are still in the field
and are keeping the ball rolling more or
less rapidly in the hair lifting and mule
stealing line. Mangus , Geronimo's half
brother , and a dozen other Apaches have
just been chased out of Mexico. They
are now supposed to be looking for a
few unprotected white settlers in Arizo
na or New iMexioo. Mangus is a very
wicked and very tricky Indian , but his
capture should not be entrusted to Gen.
Miles until that distinguished soldier
has learned exactly what is meant by an
unconditional surrender. Topics. *
A GERMAN political journal publishes
a curious portrait of Prince Bismark.
' Bismark , " says the writer. ' 'was an
enigma when a child , and he is an enig
ma still. lie never knows one day what
he will do the next day , and for past
years he has simply taken advantage of
present circumstances in directing af
fairs in Europe. The great source of
his strength is the facility with which
he changes his opinions , abandons his
friends , coddles his enemies and profits
by the malice of one , the hatred of
another , the pride of a third , while he
makes fools of them all. His conscience
knows no scruple and he professes an
equally passionato fondness for the Bi
ble and the latest bad French novel. "
THE report comes that Secretary En-
dicott is anxious to hand in his resigna
tion as Secretary of War , the reason
assigned being his disgust with the
interminable jealousies and wire pull-
ings in the'service and the quarrels and
backbitings among officers of high rank.
There is doubtless much truth in the
complaints of the secretary. Li these
piping times of peace promotion is slow
and rivalry runs riot. Washington ,
however , is the worst place to observe
the operation of the army. The "soft
service brigade" with which Mr. Kndi-
cott is thrown most in contact exagger
ates all the faults and shows fewer of
the virtues of the army officers than in
any other station in the country. Bee.
Watch for it ! The first symptom of true
croup is hoarseness , and if Chamberlain's
Cough Itemedy is freely given at once and
the dobeb frequently repeated , the dread dis
ease may be entirely prevented and all dan
cer and anxiety avoided. Sold by Willey &
Walker and il. A. Spaldiug.
