The Dead Stambuloff. ,A generation hence Bulgaria will honet Stambuloff as a national martyr.—Buffalo Press. He waa a strong man and used strong measures,; which gave hl* enemies thelx opportunity.—New York Herald. A thousand Stambuloff* should take th* place of the one foully murdered by Russian sympathizers.—Philadelphia Ledger. The assassination of the exponent of a popular cause, however, will not suffice to suppress the aspirations of a natiom— Philadelphia Record. x There is little reason to hope that the murder of Stambuloff will heal the feud and reconcile the counts of St Petersburg and Sbfla.—New York Tribune. Wo presume that if he had not interfered with RusalAn plans In regard to Macedonia he might be alive to-day.— Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. He (Stambuloff) seemed the one strong man in a nation of weaklings, and he commanded not only obedience at home, but respect abroad.—New York Sun. The assassination of Stambuloff, the Bulgarian Minister, was clearly the result of as wicked a conspiracy as the ' political history of Europe Has known.— Memphis Commercial Appeal. Whether by connivance of the Prince or by friends of Panitza, or by one of half a dozen other possible causes, Stambuloff! is dead, and with his death, it is hardly to be doubted, dies the hope of Bulgarian Independence for many years to come.— Syracuse Pest. — Modern life has had no more striking example of the essential vulgarity and brutality of undemocratic power and usurpation than this startling tyagedy of Southwestern Europe. Stambuleff was slain without doubt, if not by the direct orders of the Russian Czar, certainly then in pursuance of a policy which was hatched in the brains that serve him.— -HewYork. Jnnrnnl-

Presidents have to meet with disappointments just like the common run of mortals.—Jackson Whig. That sign of “Boy Wanted” which was hung out at Gray Gables is still out.— Grand Rapids Herald. In course of time Uncle Sam may look for a President among the President’s daughters.—Boston Herald. President Cleveland sings it this wayt "There’s just one more girl in this world for me."—New York World. Although a son failed to arrive, Mr. Cleveland has the satisfaction of greeting another new woman.—lndianapolis Journal. There is another dimpled darling in ths Presidential houshold. Ruth becomes a sister every two years now.—Augusta Chronicle. If this thing of girl babies being born to President and Mrs. Cleveland keeps up, the ratio will soon be more than 10 to I. Ohio State Journal. We feel it a duty to caution Mr. Cleveland against the free coinage of glrls'as a thing likely to destroy the parity of ths sexes.—St Louis Globe-Democrat. Girls are much more valuable than boys, especially at this time, wjien the new woman is taking possession of the earth.—Memphis ComnierCia] : Appeal. As there is no politics in this the entire country, without regard to sex, age, or condition„sends its‘most hearty congratulations and good wishes* The White House has a trio of charming children.— Elgin News. While ex-President Harrison is discouraging matrimony by declaring that women on the bicycle repel thp admiration of the male sex, President Cleveland Is promoting matrimony by proving that marriage is not a failure.—Bloomington Bulletin. The Endeavor Convention. Only fourteen years of history and 2,500,000 members! That is a marvelous record and a marvelous promise {of the future.—Courier-Journal. The success of the great convention is a fine commentary on the safely, speed and comfort of the American railway system.—Philadelphia Ledger. The record of this organization is most gratifying. It stand as a refutation of the ideas advanced by cynics and others that the world is growing worsdT— Kansas City Times. The Christian Endeavor meetings furnish conclusive evidence that the institutions of Christianity are maintained with their old fervor and that men’s lives are vitalized by a living faith.—Chicago Tribune. These earnest, self-denying and women gathered together to advance the spiritual kingdom of righteousness preach to the world a sermon far more effective than the most polished the mere pulpit orator.—New York Tribune. In the face of three great armies like the Sunday school children, the Society of Christian Endeavor and the Young Men’s Christian Association, the spectator may well ask himself what there is to the talk of a decay of the religious spirit.— Buffalo Express. The churches are rapidly finding out that if they want to retain their hojd on the young people of the land they must put forward something more than the ethical and moral attractions of religion. They must appeal to, the social side of human nature. It is the development of this sentiment which accounts in a large measure for the growth of ihe Christian Endeavor societies.—Brooklyn Eagle. Expulsion of Modjeska. Mme. Modjeska, in view of her expulsion, will add to the list of .her American admirers by her vigorous denunciation of the government which has so long dominated Poland.—Chicago Tribune. So Mme. Modjeska has been expelled from Russia on account of a speech In favor of the Poles, which she made a long time ago in Chicago. It seems that Russia not only intends to punish free speech In Russlh, but whenever there is a possible opportunity she proposes to punish free speech in America.—Bostoa Globe. --3 » . ,•* til
