It is amusing, liow- ever, to hear a civilized power talking of the bypoeritical methods of nction of the people of Mudagasear. Heathens and barbarians can scarcely be said to have a monopoly of hypoeri: ThE serio-comic performance of cross- purposes which the Bulgarians and the ozar are playing on the theater- of the Bulkuns increases. in interest. Prince Waldemar's election by the sobranje was no sooner announced than it was fol- lowed by the report that the czar had ohosen Prince Nicholas, of Mingrelia, for the vacant Bulgarian throne. This Min- grelian prince from beyond the Caucasus would doubtless prove quite a fit instru- ment of Russiun intrigue in the Balkans, but the Bulgarians do not' want him. His selection, if the repart be true, can be regarded only as an insane freak of a despot. The comedy in the Balkaps 1s developing into a grand drama in which all the great powers of Burope will be invited to take leading part As only a democrat could be elected in the New York distriet which will be rep- resented in the fiftieth congress by Mr. Amos J, Cammings, the party did wiscly and well in selecting that gentleman. In the profession of journalism Mr. Cum- mings is one of the most widely and fayorably known men in the country. His newspaper career began on the 77 bune under Horace Greeley, to whoso favor he commended himself by consecien- tious and superior work, Ehs particular talent was for news, and unguestionably the credit is due him of having been among the first to advance and develop the news feature in journaiism. When the Sun od under the control of Mr, Dana, that sagaclous and able editor selected Cummings as one of his sis with larger priviloges than he had before enjoyed. The opportunity enabled him to more fully dewmonstrate his superior qualifications, and he merits a very large share of the credit for the popularity and oxeelience of the Sun as a newspaper He is still connected with that journal, but no lon, linds it necessary to per- form the arduous and exueting labor that formerly required of him. For s ho has been president of the k Press club and has filled the position with marked ability. He is p sonally one of the most genial of men, und his friends are legion, It is inferred from the attitude which the Sun bas main- tained toward the president t M Cummings will not be found among the ardent supporters of the administration an the next congress.

Sucha prophecy would carry little weight except as it is supported by conditions leading the people of the stato in that direetion apart from the influcnce of politicians of the Mahone kind. It is obable that if the future standing of Virginia politically depended upon this influence solely, it wonld remain unalter- ably demoeratic, and it would perhaps be quite as well that it should. Thero is no evidence that the Mahone etement has done anytting for the credit or character of the state, or that the republicnn party as a whole was in the least degree bene- fitted by the identification of that element with it. It would not be diflicult to show that in both respects the eficet has been the opposite. The most powerful consideration t is leading Vir- ginin away from democracy i an industri one, and this is operat- ing with more or less force in other portions of the south. A great deal of northern capital and enterprise gone into Virginin within the past vo years, and it has carried a sentiment withit that is naving its effect upon local capita and labor. That sentiment 1 thay both these interests ure more certain of being conserved by the republican than by the democratic party, since the one hus a policy and can be depended npon for fidelity to its pledges, while the other as a party has no financial and cconomic policy, and because of bitter factional divisions cannot he depended on to carry out any of its promises. This was clearly and conspicuously 1llus- trated at the last session of congress, and is likely to bo again shown at the coming session if the leaders of the ma- jority faction have not been so crushed and intimidatea by the results of the elections that they will not attempt any- thiv As an agricultural state, Vir- ginia can hope tor little prosperity or . nomtnation was generally rogarded as highly improper for the additional reason that as a member of the Creighton-Mur- phy Co., the leading contractors ot pub- lic works, he was in no position to give us a charter which might clash with his private interests. To sum up, the demo- cratic senatorinl card house fell to pieces beeause it was built that wa It would e been the same way with the repub- ican ticket if the candidates had been nominated against their own wishes and without their own nonsent. The essence of the vacking house hog wash which spatters all over the Doung- las county democracy is the fact that the scheme of the brokers in federal patron- age peen frustrated by the election of MeShane and the defeat of the mon- opoly democratic candidates for the log- islature.

The news comes from San Francisco that all operations in the lower levels of the bonanza mines have ordered stopped, and the water ch has been fought for more than cight years by its mammoth pumps has been given undisputed sway in the de- serted workings, There is more import- ance in the announcement than is ap- parent at the first glance, The six years from 188 to 1878 were the years of plent for the Novada mine owners on the Com- stoe During this period more than 200,000,000 worth of precious metals were dug from the mines on the g lode.

But in 1878 the ore bodies on the upper levels began to f Believing that the veins were mexhaustible the shaits were sunk progress, but she has undeveloved re- sources which if utilized in mills, fac- tories and workshops within her own boundaries, or conveyed to markets where there is o demand for them, would add greatly to her wealth and - assure to ler o substantial and permanent prosnerity. The movement for the development of these resources hus begun, but their advaneo will depend a good deal upon what financial and economic policies are to prevail, or ather whether such policies are to be periodically ailed and disturbed to suit the caprices and ambitions of fac- tional political leaders of the class which are found whoily in the democratic party. This the people of Viginia, nd of otner portions of the south in which industries are i process of de- velopment, are beginning to understand and think about. The natural outcome of such reflection is to weuken their allegiance to demo Once having got u fur start, s now to have, this feeling will advance ravidly, and it is reasonable to expeect that iu will be found two years henc ned iargely in extent and The republican gain in North Carolina s probably due to a less substantial son than that in Virginia, and must in a measure be credited to democrati apathy there. But in the opportunity it will give the repubhicans, with the help of the independeuts, to reform legislation in the interest of a freer and larger suffrage, it is of great value. If the ballot in North Carolina were reliev of the repressive influence which has hitherto been exercised respectingit over a large element of the voting popu- lation, that state would be republican always in national clections by a safe majority, This result is now rendered possible, Inroads upon democratic majorities were made elsewhere in the south, in Maryland and Kentucky for example, all of which are especially re- suring in view of the fact that the first democratic administration in nearly a quarter of a century is only half through its term, ve re Packing House Hogwash, Dr. Miller Indles out atub full of packing house hogsvash to'demoerats in which he attempts to drown Charles H. Brown and other democrats who are offensive to the demented autocrat. He prints a cock and bull story about a sell-out and trade of the democratic legislative ticket in this county. He conveys the idea that the scheme to elect Boyd or Miller as a sitceessor to Van Wyck would have car- ried if Brown, Martin and other demo- crats had notinterfered. He has the im- pudence to assure demeocrats that the breaking down of the senaterial ticket was brought about by interfercnce on the part of this paper and its editor. The hoary headed reprobate oven charges that pressure was brought upon Fred Metz to induce him to withdraw, und that Charles B. Rustin got off the ticket because Jim Creighton was forced off, and that Jim Creighton was crowded ofl' by threats from this quarter, Dr. Miller lied, and he know that bhe lied when he made this assertion. He know that Fred Motz pub- licly and privately refused to allow his name to be used in connection with the legislature, Mr. Metz served notice upon delegates to the democratic conven- tion 1 he would not serve if clected, The use of Mr. Metz’s name in connec- tion with the 1 senatorship wus an im- position, and its design plainly was to commit the solid liguor dealer vote to the demoeratic ticket, The open lotters to Mr, Her whieh Dr. Miller wrote were part und parcel of this imposture. Charles B, Rustin wasa thousand miles away from Omaba when he wis nowmi- nated. The couvention had no right to use his name iu the convention, and his refusal to ran was in no way brought about by outside intluenc Mr. Rustin could not have been hired at any price to £0 to the legislature,and Dr. Miller knew that fact as well as we did. There was no pressure brought by anybody, least- wise anybody connected with the Bee, to drive James Creighton off the tieket. His nomination, in view of MeShane's candidacy, was pronounced a blunder, and liable too add many votes to Church Howe That, doubtless, was the reason liller, who hates him and all r Creightons, was gratitied ac his candidacy. ‘The only protest made was before Creighton was nominated.

Mining was continued and large amounts of ore werg raised to the surface and marketed. But it proved a losig game, after all, scavcely paying expenses, and leaving dividends quite out of the ques- tion. Finally the pursuit was abandoned.

Official returns changed the complexion of affairs vory lurgely and. brought with them the defeat of several legislativo tools which the monopolies had’ confi- dently counted on. First news is not al- ways relinble, as the political managers of the allied corporations have disco cred. But the strength which Goeneral Van Wyck’s canvass developed has only spurred the political attorneys of the railronds to greater efforts. They are now working desper- ately to und o ns far as possible beforo the legislature meets the work of the peo- ple at the polls. Several important con ferences huve been held during the past week to map out the legislative and sen- atorial campuigns.
