FBOH El Paso, Texas, comes news of a battle between the State Hangers under Lieut. F. £. Seiker and a band of maraud­ ing Mexicans.

THE cholera is active in Valencia, in Spain, ono of its most thickly populated provinces, bordering on the Mediterranean Sea, but a short distance across from Mar- seills, France, where the outbreak occurred in 1884. That the plague will extend to other parts of Europe as hot weather ap­ proaches is hardly to be doubted. When the unwelcome visitor may be expected in the United States can not be told with any approximation even to certainty, but it may appear at any time. American commerce with the Mediterranean ports is consider­ able in extent, and the infection is liable to make a lodgment in any vessel that may cross the ocean.

The decrease in the public debt for the month is stated at $3,330,833 by the new system, or $4,435,481 by the old system. The Treasury officials are satisfied that the silver policy of the administration has done away with all cause for anxiety as to the ability of the Treasury to meet all demands until Congress reassembles. The small loss of gold during the month renders it certain that the Treasury will not be com­ pelled to borrow gold of the banks or to resort to any other of the many expedients which were thought of. FROM a statement prepared by Second ^Assistant Postmaster General Knott, it ap­ pears that reductions aggregating $45,596 Were made in the expenditures on account of transportation service during the months of April and May.

In May the expenditures for star- route service were reduced $6,244; for steamboat service, $31,H47, and for mail messenger service, $1,841. POLSTICid.

Owing to the crowded condition of the hotels thousands were com­ pelled to bivouac In the open «ir all night. Around the Arc do Triomnho the space was filled with the chief officers ot the state, t^he members of the Diplomatic Corps, Senators, and Deputies. From all directions came deputations with draped banners and bearing llowers and gigantic wreaths, and all moved in the direc­ tion of the Arc de Triomphe, the Mecca of France to-day. Never did Paris present such a scene. The funeral procession started punctually at noon. Many vehicles, heaped up with the offerings of the people of France, followed the hearse in the procession. The buildinus were black with people, as was, Indeed, every point from which might be had a view of the unparalleled spec­ tacle. All in the procession seemed to appreciate that France was doin^ honor to her most illus­ trious peek All were quiet, and all observed a most becoming demeanor. The pressure of the packed masses ot' people was frightful to con­ template, and many of those who were "in the packs" were seriously crushed. Six orations were delivered under the Arc de Triomphe, in the presence of nearly all the illustrious men ot France. M. Leroyer, President of the Senate, said Victor Hugo constantly pursued the higher ideal of justice and humanity, and thus exer­ cised an immense influence over the moral feel­ ing of France. M. Floquet said that the ceremony to-day was not a funeral; it was an apotheosis. He hailed Victor Hugo as the immortal apostle who be­ queathed to humanity that gospel which could lead the people to the definitive conquest of liberality and equality. Floquet's oration touched the hearts of hts hearers, and was greatly applauded. M. Augitr, a member of the academy, elab­ orated the fact made evident to-day: "To the sovereign poet France renders sovereign hon­ ors." M. Goelet, President of the Chamber of Depu­ ties, declared that Victor Hugo will remain the highest personification of the nineteenth cent­ ury, the history of which, in its contradictions, doubts, ideas, and : spirations, was best reflect­ ed in his works. The character of Victor Hucro was profoundly human, and represented the spirit of toleration !md of pease. The singing of revolutionary and patriotic songs by bands of men gathered beyond the reach of the voices ot the orators interrupted some of the unity of the eulogies, but beyond this there was nothing to mar the beauty or de­ tract from the impressiveness of the spectacle. The tuneral ceremonies were completed, and the march of the procession ended without any­ thing happening that might be called of a dis­ orderly character. The police arrested several bearers of red (Tags, which were unturled at the starting points or headquarters of the several revolutionary so­ cieties. Metz, Strasbourg, and all the fortress, towns in the annexed provinces were well represented. Every point of view was crowded with men. women, and children. The tops of iive-story houses and even the chimneys were occupied by sight-seers. Georges Hugo walked alone behind the bier. During the procession a vast sea'fold­ ing on the Place Cluny collapsed. Many persons were injured, but none killed. The fall caused a great panic and confusion, but the procession was soon refoimcd. Another platform fell on the Rue Royale. It is estimated that the procession numbered 1,000,000 persons. Not a single priest was aeeu in the line.

England, for many years the publisher of the New York Sun, who died in that city not long ago, was born in 18:52, at Bath, England. When a boy he learned the printer's trade. In 1847 he came with his parents to America. Some years later he became city editor of the Tribune. In 1864 he took a position in the Custom House under Simeon Draper,' and later went as a Government agent to Gharleston, S. C. Mr. Dana started the Chicago Re­ publican, now the Inter Ocean, nnd se­ cured Mr. England's services on that journal. He was afterward editor of the Jersey City Journal, and when Mr. Dana secured the Sun he was managing editor for a year. In 1868 Mr. England entered the publication office and became the pub­ lisher of the paper. After Frank Leslie's death he took charge of the Leslie publica­ tions, and, although the property W«N $250,- 000 in debt, in two years he put the busi­ ness of the establishment on a paying basis. THIBTT-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS is said to have been the price paid by the En­ glish publishers for the copyright of Gen. Gordon's diary. It will not fill more than, one ordinary volume. COL. MCCLURE, of the Philadelphia Times, says: "Success is the reward of men who mind their own business." THEKF. are 700 Chinese scholars in twea- ty-nine New York Sunday schools. BOYS as pages are now popular features --.hi mum? Dan Mace, the most celebrated jockey America has ever produced, whose death occurred in New York not long ago, was born at Cambridge, Mas3., in 1834. Among the most noted horses he handled in his early days were Kate Miller, Mary Taylor, Toucli-Me-Not, Old Bones, a pacer; Duchess, Meddlesome, Tom Hyer, Dentist, Lady Westley, Albany Girl, Fashion, Little Ilonip, Tobey, Saltpetre, Soulouqnc, Provi­ dence Boy, North Stir, Cyclops, Lady Boyle, Bay Star, Farmer Boy, Pilot, Chicago Jack, Tom Benton, Euclid, Lady Sher­ man, Lady Litchfield, Black Dave, a pacer, and a running horse called Gray Eagle. Mace had driven over the old Cam­ bridge course; the Franklin Hiding Park, at Saugus, Mass.; the South End Track, Bos­ ton; the Washington Trotting Park at Provi­ dence; the East Boston Track, and the Cen- treville and Union courses, Long Island. Among the noted drivers then on the turf were Hiram and William Woodruff, Dan Pfeiffer and Sam McLaughlin. Flora Tem­ ple. Rocket, Lancet, Tacouy, Brown Dick, Lady Moscow and Ethan Allen were in their prime. He drove Ethan Allen in 1858. Among the horses handled by Mace from 18G3 to 1870 were Prince, John Morgan, Sorrel Dan, Pocahontas. Shark, Rhode Island, lvittie, Wink, Quaker, Fearnaught, General Butler, Commodore Vanderbilt, Young Woeful, Billy Barr and Gray Mack. All of the horses acquitted themselves with ciydit under his able management. Shark was trained by Mace, who hrst trotted him against Fnmk Temple, and won about §5,000. Pocahontas was driven to victory against Lady Warren, Lady Hayes, General Grant, Empress, Sorrel Dan, Leviathan, Fannie Allen and Tib Woodward. In 18G7 Pocahontas beat Johu Stewart three mile heats under saddle, her best time being 2:18$. Later he drove Lady Thorn, which he bought for $30,000, Judge Fullerton and Hopeful. Four or five years ago Mace was thrown from his sulky* at St. Paul and his collar bone fmcturcd. Since that time he had not done much active driving. MR. WILLIAM H. VANDERBILT and fam­ ily have re-leased the Pavilion cottage at Sharon Springs for this season. A NEW YORK lady had her dressmaker arrested for false pretenses because her wedding dress did not fit.

Gen. lr>in McDowell, who died in San Francisco on the 4th instant, was born in Franklin County, Ohio, in 1818. He was educated at ^ est Point, and fought in the Mexican war. At the out­ break of the war he enthusiastically es­ poused the Union cause, and was appointed a Brigadier General in the regular army, and in that capacity commanded at the first battle of Bull Run. He received the blame for that disastrous affair, but was afterward restored in the confidence of the Washington authorities, and took part in the advance against Manassas in March, 1862, under MeClellan. He was appointed to the De­ partment of the East, and in 1870 refused to evacuate Governor's Island on account of the yellow fever scare. In 1872 he was in command of the Department of the South. The last command he had was of the De­ partment of the Pacific, from which he wns retired in September, 1882. THE Little Sisters of the Poor have now 230 houses in Fronee, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, America, Africa, and Asia. BRET HARTE is at work upon a new Cal­ ifornia stoiy. « PMtr Win Be on Hsat u Candidate la the Next At the fotirth anniversary dinner of the Young Republican Club in PhiLifc- delphia, Charlg|pmerY Smith, editor of the rbfliiinpua Press, was called np, and responded as follows to sentiment, "1888--You'll find us thelS* again": * I congratulate this club of intelfi* geni, earnest, aggressive young Repub­ licans upon its honorable history. I congratulate you upon, your brilliant part in the memorable campaign of last year. And I congratulate you that, undismayed by the narrow defeat which • disappointed your hopes in that graat struggle, yon are still standing shoul­ der to fllioulder with tinbrdken ranks and already looking forward with un­ daunted spirit to the greater conflict, and I trust to the assured victory, of. 1888. You ask no to speak of 1888.* It is not too early to think of that moment­ ous battle which will • decide whether the accident of last year shall become the deliberate judgment of the Ameri­ can people or whether the party which conducted the republic with unparal­ leled success through the storms and the triumphs of a quarter of a century shall be restored to the place of power from which, by the, merest chance at the last hour, it was wrongfully driven. It may bo too early to think of men, but it is not too early to think of the principles and the measures and the . ruling spirit which shall be our guid­ ing star. • . ! . : K We were not beaten last year npoiii the honest and reflecting judgment of the American people. Wo were beaten by the hazard of a caprice--beaten by the little exasperating pebbles in the shoe--beaten by the power of unblush* ing fraud in the South which had been measured, and by the casualties of un­ mitigated folly in New York which could not be measured or foreseen or counteracted. Never was a grander army more brilliantly marshaled by jhaore intrepid and chivalrous leaders. The consummate chfef whose electric hame, and presence, and eloquence were the inspiration of the campaign; the heroic soldier and Senator who bore his part so bravely and manfully, and to whom in his present gallant struggle in Illinois all eyes turn with sympathy and hope--for these chosen leaders who bore our flag with unfailing ability and judgment, we have no reproaches. With the best of causes, and the worth­ iest of candidates, we were beaten not for any fault, but because free and hon­ est suffrage was strangled in the South, iand because free folly was not strangled in New York. Bnt the decks are clear for 1888., We must summon the country to the nigh duty of securing free elections against fraud and force wherever they may be tried, and we must plant our party tipon advanced ground, above the reach Of momentary surges. The battle of 1888 must be won by the fidelity and wisdom of 1885 and 1886. Our adver-' saries have had no share of power for thirty years without proving their in­ capacity and forfeiting public confi­ dence. They ate now in full power save in the Senate, and they will blun­ der 1|ptv as they blundered in the past. But the party which simply counts on the mistakes of its opponent itself inakes the greatest mistake of all. The party which would be successful must be strong in its own strength, and not, merdly in the weakness or the errors of" its enemy. The Republican organiza­ tion has had a matchless career of more than a quarter of a century, and it can point to a nobler work and to more lus­ trous achievements than any other po­ litical organization in history. But,, much as it has accomplished, its mfssion is far from ended, and it must go for­ ward to new duties and new triumphs. The Republican party has been great in administration; it must now show itself no less great in opposition. The Democracy has ignominiously failed in the one position as it will signally fail in the other. It has had no intelligent and honest policy of its own; it has made no candid and rational criticism of the policy of its adversaries; it iias simply waged a blind, reckless, unrea­ soning, undiscriminating warfare on every principle and every measure which the Republican party has advo­ cated. This is not intelligent opposi­ tion; it is merely empty «r vicious negation. The Republican party must live up to a higher standard, liven in opposition it should remember that it must have a distinct and positive policy of its own. Where the Democratic party wantonly obstructed, the Repub­ lican party must fairly debate. Where ' the Democratic party attempted simply to tear down, the Republican party must faithfully seek to build up. If it. takes issue with tbe policy of the Dem­ ocratic administration, its it does, it must have a clear, broad, and just pol­ icy of its own. Where the Democratic party offers no relief and_ proposes no remedies for the languishing business and industry of the country, the Re­ publican party pledge* the secur­ ity, a fid should develop the jneasures which will quicken them fcith hew life. While it en­ tourages capital, it should guarantee , the full protection of labor. While it i>reservep the home market, it should DV a Jiberal and enlightened continen­ tal policy cultivate fields of enterprise beyond our own borders. And if it ar­ raigns the Democratic administration falling short of its promised and abasing the public servtcn to partisan ends, it must take care that it shall be thrice armed with a sincere popular faith in its own honestacceptance an^L earnest ,sflpp6rt of refrain jpViliciples. With such a chart as this the noble Republican craft, which has weathered the storms of so many years, will suc­ cessfully sad over the adverse seas and. triumphantly enter the harbor of re­ stored Republican administration in 1888. This is not the hbnr nor is this the place to consider who shall be our captain. . That choice will be made in due time by the unmistakable voice of the Republican masses. But whoever he may be--whether some distin­ guished son of Pennsylvania; or tli« able Senator from Ohio, who towers, among the foremost chiefs of the Re­ publican party; or tbe accomplished statesman who has just been elected Senator from New York with a united party behind him; or tbe gallant Haw- * ley of Connecticut; or the prince of leaders, who led us so inspiringly ia , 1884; or some one of the other mas­ terly men in the Republican councils-- whoever may be chosen as our captain, we may confidently hope that with these principlca emblazoned on our flag we shall in 1888 win a triumph which will stand among the most glori­ ous victories in the Irstory of the RQT . i~. : *
