the Republican aetripapert, auenaeu ey
Butler's organs tte NewYerkr fitm,
which is dreadfully shocked that.the
Democratic jenrnals1seem tef,think, that
Bergner had net been altogether , frank,
and truthful in,)iis statement, which
is said te havebecn heard Jby a number
of reputable witnesses. It is net-stated
that Bergner -was i net lntvrespensib)e
state of mind when he made the declara
tion ; and the facts, as he gave them,
came sufflclently close te the known
circumstances attending the refusal of
the Pennsylvania delegation te support
Blaine te glve them plausibility. It was
Beb Mackey who managed Blaine's
massacre. It was Mackey who declared ,
" by the eternal," or by an equivalent
oath of that significance that Blaine
should net ba nominated. It was
Mackey'a direction te Den Cameren,
chairman of the" delegation, te propose
te Blaine's friends that the delegation
should continue te cast Its vote as a unit
for Ilarlranft se long ni his vete in the
convention was growing. And it was
Mackey who secured in 'divers ways
enough eutslda votes te drop In te Hart
ranftasthe ballet progressed te keep
him steadily erewing with a slowlgrewth,
until the grand climax came when the
Ilayes Heed could be turned en. It was
Mackey's flrni'arid, stubborn resolve'te
beat Blaine that did iheWk. J
And it is quite probable that Kenible
sought te help along the 'Cameren
Mackey effort te beat him, with the
checks Bergner talks of. It is certaiu
enough that if he had them he would
show them. Nothing would have been
left untried te chill the Blaine current.
Possibly checks may have been shown
which were forgeries. Pe3albly Kemble
may have lied' ab'eufthVbrlbefy, and
possibly Bergner lied when he
told the story lately in Harrisburg.
The 1'alriut, as the publisher of the
story, is only interested iu showing that
it had the authority for its 'statement
which it declared. As the accused
Bergner showed no unxiety te prosecute
11 for libel, Us city editor has been com
plained against by an outside cltizem
doubtless at itsdesire?r A' Democratic
attorney represented! the i prosecution
when the case was called for a hearing
before the alderman. The Republican
district attorney, however, appeared and
claimed the right te take charge of it
and te refuse te permit any testimony te
be taken, save as te the fact of the publi.
catien. The design, of course, fs te sup.
press the testimony until after the tlec
tien ; which does net indicate auy pre
found conviction en the part of the
Harrisburg Republicans that the facts te
be sworn te would be beneficial te Mr
Blaine. The Alleged Frauce.ltussian Alliance.
The American! press is often accused
by the English editorial brethren beyond
the sea of sensationalism, but the Lon Len Lon
eon 3Vmcs, once a most conservative
organ, is rapidly distancing in this line
its Americau competitors, from whom it
presumably learned its .lessen. Net long
since it,publisued a flaming dispatch that
China had made da declaration of war
against Prance, at a time when both
countries seamedjte be seeking te recon
cile their differences'. Though the report
was promptly contradicted it had doubt
I ess its effect iu preparing the way for the
war declaration that shortly followed.
The latest essay of the ' Thunderer '
in the Held of sensationalism Is a dis
patch irem its Shanghai correspondent
te the effect that Russia and France
have agreed te disintegrate China and
divide it between themselves. The terms
of the partition include the taking by
France of the three southern , provinces,
while Russia Is toehold t(China, as a ig
crulting ground for berJaf mien. J,
Theubsurdlty or the preposition is
manifest en its face. Such a coalition
would endanger the safety of all Europe.
Only a few das age the Russian eniper.
or was in friendly conclave with his
Imperial brethren of, Germany and
Austria, and they parted company with
the most friendly evldences of esteem.
It would mean that Russia was about te
form an offensive and defensive alliance
with a country separated from It by
nations most powerful, aud it would
practically have the. effect of placing
Russia and Prance in antagonism te all
Europe. England's Chlua trade and her
Eastern possessions would be threatened
while Germany would be dwarfed. It
is hard te believe Mat with a geed abed
war en her handsTrance will enter into
a coalition that would turn the guns of
all Europe upon her. Russia's magnili
cent position well protects her, while
Prauce would be open te assault from all
quarters. Wilt) A v , . .,
It is safete prreuiiie th$t tula fan cock
and bull story Invented by the limes for
purposes of its own. It may wish for
just such an alliance as it suggests,
knowing tbat'lu the end it would result
in an union between England, Germany
nud Austria agins France. The Times
may gala a alight Increase 6f circulation
byadlsplayef this kind, but it must
have the inevitable effect of militating
against its trustworthiness as a news
journal.

Miss Sarah Bcheuer, the pretty daughter
of Simen Soulier, the well. known leather
merchant, who eloped with Henry Fried
man, tbe New street broker, has caused
the latest sensation in New Yerk. Mr.
Schouer, the father, was found by a
reporter Iu his warehouse, Ne. -it Walker
street, Wednesday morning. Mr. Scheuer
said that his daughter met Friedman last
winter iu boeiety. He thought she was
fltst introduced te him ou New Year's
Day, when his daughter was roceiving calls
with Retne of her friends at her home, Ne.
147 East Sixty-first street. Friedman, who
is a goedlooking young fellow and very
successful, It li said, with the ladles, secm.
cd te take a great faucy te Miss Sohcuer,
and tbe acquaintance thus begun rapidly
ricned into au intlmate Irieudshlp. He
called at the house very fiequeutly aud the
young lady seemed In no way displeased
with his visits.
"Why, he had net known her mere
thiu a month," cald Mr. Scheuer, "before
he came te me and asked my consent te
marry my daughter. This Uemaud took
me completely by surprise and, net know
ing nnythlug of the young man or his
family and only having heard incidentally
that he was a stock broker, I replied that
I could net clve my consent until I had
satisfied myself that he was a preper per
son te marry into my family. Upen
questioning my daughter 1 fenud she was
net averse te his attentions and she teemed
te ta very much attached te him. My
inquiries, honrevor, in regard te the
business relations of Mr. Friedman were
net at all satisfactory and I told him se. I
made seme preposition te him of a bust,
ness nature, which I propose net te disoleso,
but which be refused te listeu te. I then
told him that he could net have my
consent.

"This was about six months age. lie

him he must nover again oemo te my

obey me In this and sines that time I have
never heard anything mero about the mat

home from business, my wlfe told me that
Sarah bad boea away from home all day

this summer at Saratoga. Tbey went
away together in a carriage. Of ceurse 1
was very much alarmed at first and after
waiting several hours and hearing nothing
from her I began te suspcet the truth."

" My suspicions were confirmed wheu a
telegram was brought te the heuse about 1
o'clock In the morning It was sent from
Ne. 830 Broadway and read :
" ' I was legally married te Harry last
evening. Sn.ui Fhiedmax.'
"My wife was terrtbly shocked at re
ceiving the news, and I was se angry that
I tore the telegram in two. We bad net
watched the girl at all, as she had been
well brought up, and we thought she hed
given up Friedman. She had a geed
effer of marriage only a short time age,
from a young friend of the family, which
she refused. This surprised u, but did net
aiouse auy suspicion that she was still in
fatuated with FV dman."

" Yeu can say if you w.int te." ha added.
" that I have already made a codicil te my

At present I shall have nothing whatever

is net se, although she (eels keenly the

" It's the old story." said Mr. Fbilllps,

but a few steps ou the stairs when he saw
some one oemlng up. The Mexican fired
without a word. The man fell dead, Tbe
body was brought out. The watehmen
then began tearing up the iloerof the bank

Cleso inspection of the tunnel late in the

alliance means the disintegration of China
and its partition betwean theso iwe
countries, Frauoe taking the thrce southern
provinces and Russia having China as a
recruiting ground of her armies, the two
ceuntries being connected with railways.
Tha alliance also means a France Russian
preponderance in Europe aud is therefore
frautht with danger te Germany. It also
means the extinction of the Chlua trade
and imperils all English possessions in the
East.
The Paris Franeaii reports that as many
as 1,500 of the French troops in Tenquln
are siek. It asserts also that Chinese
troops have spread ever the nortbern por
