Tho most d tinguished news vender of this or any other age is ill of these two things—govern- ment and overwork. Of course he is im. mensely rich and need not work aay longer, but we all know that duty1s Smith's first and last consideration. The last time I saw him was on the day the German emperor went to the city. He was dressed in @ cocked hat and a brilliant, uniform of blue gotd but he seemed scarcoly able to staad up and last Sunday at Hatfield broke him down, for, in my opinton, he will not be seen in the house of commons again. We shall have Balfour in his place next session, nobody standing in bls way. Lord Randolph Courehill, unce blocked his path, but he has flung away the last rags of his reputation by bis most indisereet journey to souta Africa. Ho has gone tnero practically in the employment of a financial syndicate which will use him and his reports for speculative purposes. How can a mah ever be a great minister of the erown who has farmed hiu self out to the stock exchange! More- over, has seat back lotters to the Grapbic, which bave cither been the wonder or ridicule of all London, People wonder what can be the matter with him and they ean go on wondering, but meanwhile ho is fading out of the horizon. Balfour Gaining in Popularity. Balfour has gained all that ne has lost. Politicians with vad tempers and feeble judgements might profitubly study the carcer of Randolph Churehill. Lord Salisbury is of course rejoicod at the turn affairs have taken for Churchill was a thorn in his side. The prime minister could never be suro of receiv- ing common civility from his former subord nate. Evenat the cabinet councils thero was often & scene. Now that the marquis has everything kis own w some people may complain that he is trying to minister to tho fami but Balfour has proven his fitness for high oftice. Ho has shown that ho is u man who can be trusted. Who can say that of lis former leader and rival? The tools go to the man who knows how to use them, Even the Irish party have gottten over their bitterness toward Balfour. They recognize in him a stout but not malignant foo. In the course of next k they will give him a good ronsting over Irish money votes. Tim Hea- ley and Sexton will keep him lively T believe there will bo o great row the continued imprisonment of O'Brien and Dillon. The co et having suf- fered to lapse, why not release the chief mon who were deprived of their liverty under it! Balfour will be subjected to a hot fire on that point. In one of these two prisoners, the Irish party look to find theic future leuder, Justin McCarthy having quite ‘given up. His heaith and inclina tion alike forbid a longer hold upon & position he never coveted, [ have not seen him in the house for weeks past. Sextor. has been keeping the boys together. Dillon’s health is also far from strong, and tho leadership would soon break him down Thus the Gladstonians and Irishmen aro all in want of a leader.

The commissioners have found the strings of a drag net that gathering weak, viclous aud unworthy per- sons on Amcrican 80il. Chairman Webbe Lo beliex the work of the commission would result in strong legistation. There was no use in trying to send back immigrants from our shores, We must devise system %o shut off bad immigration at-sources abroad.

He 1s under the impression that the Jews are oppressed and ought to be welcomed to America. He is apparently ignorantiof the pra t outery in London over the first experiences with Russian Jews and the efforts to ship them to America. In this connection T learngd that the British government has placed agudden check on immigration from the Yorkshire plush man- ufacturing district to.

Now that the emperor has gono London concert halls aro ringing ‘with songs bur- lesquing the Germans, A lovely story about the emperor’s visit has just leaked out. Miss Margo Tennant, a famous London horse- woman, made a bet last week with a society man of $250 that she would dance th at the state ball. It caused a sensation among the socicty peopie who heard of it, as nobody dreamed that itwvas possible even for such o beautiful aad daring young woman to danco with ‘the emperor. The next morning, bright and early, Miss Ten- naut was riding up Rotton Row in Hyde park at a furious rate. It wasa glorious sicht.

Some- where about thirty thousand country ame to Paris to particip the nationsl rejoicing on the Fourteenth. They picnicked all over town, took possession of every public seat and campad the Tho decorations were better than ever though the review was not so good as last year and there we fowor men present. A feature of the decoration was the enormous number of star spangled flags. Now Paris is almost deserted, and were it not for the mflux of American visitors trades people would have a hard time. Bunco St Work. ny bunco steerers found their way over here during the presont weel. T'wo Ameri- ans sufferod severcly at their hands. The first was Charles Dresbacn, an American lawyer who met a fellow citizen the Bc svard “and the lattor asked him for a light The pair got into a conversation and walked”down the avenue together to the Hotel Die where they had the drinks, The they wi joined by another American with a pro nounced Irish accent who introduced him self. The three returned to the boulevard and ordered dinner at a private at tho Maison Dore, well-known taurant When the champag bezan to flow the Irish-American stated that he had just inherited trom an uncle in New York collosal fortune, amounting from £30,000,000 to £0,000,000. Ho only necded money suflicient to enabie him to cross the Atlautic. Mr. Dresbach promptl took out his purse and offercd to pay tho passage, Tne warm-hearted Irishman re- fused the offer, but he was so touched by it that he threw his arms. sound his dear friend’s neck and embraced him heartily. When he left a few mmutes later, Dresbuch was minus his pocketbook which had contained five $100 bills, number A 21535, two £20 bills and twenty-five sovereigns, Boglish money. The same evening an American vesident here, Thomas Burnside, after leaving his friends at a restourant, noticed a gang of four men following him. When ho reached the Rue de Provence ono of them jumped on his back while tho others kicked him vio- lently on the shin. Burnside is u buc! full of courage, and he resisted but wi ally knocked senseless by the united blows of his antagonists, who robbed him of 1,700 francs and left him covered with wounds from thelr cowardly attacks. Boulanger Still Denying. General Boulanger from his retreat at Bruxelles seems anxious to koep himself be- fore the public. Nothing seems too small for him todo, Last week he was denying the authorship of tno bool attributed to him. This weok be writes a fulsome letter to the papers couccrning the” report tnat he had sold the famous black charger, named Tunis, which animal was quite an equine in the celebrity days of Boulanger's glories, The brave general writes about the horsc in the following strain: “I bave never left him and he will never quit me, If you ever pay a visit to Brussels you will find the noble animal in the box in as good condition as he was five vears ago and like his mastor, awaiting the day which is perhaps nearer than is generally imagined.” But the funny part of the story is that some one, pretending to be Boulanger, has sold a black eharger at a fancy price to a certain gentloman named Dogois under the imores sion that he was buying the famous Tunis The Champs de Mars sulon closed its doors couple of days ago.

In order to accentuate this, Salisbury had it ed on several during the Tho British government, although thoroughly in accord with tho policy af peace, followed by an alliancoof all powers, intends to remain on most friendly terms with all powers.
