The War i'm Europe.
SERIOUS TROUBLE WITH RUSSIA.

LONDON, Nov. l7.-There is intense
excitement in government circles here
relative TO the threatened complications
growing out of Ru.sia's attempt to Sc
cure a revision of the Paris treaty. The
general conviction is that English states
manship is at fault. The country is
wholly unprepared for war, and all its
traditional glory imperiled.
The Right Hon. Mr.. Cardwell, Secre-
tary of State for War, is Fastening on
the armaments of the nation. Much ex
element at the stock exchange, and Sc
curities Of al! kinds are declining. =
Breadstuffs advancing correspondingly.
The crisis forms the theme of newspaper
comment, and there seems to be but one
opinion of the Russian demand, that it
j. iusoIent in the last degree.
ThJ journals on the continent take no
pains TO Disguise their satisfaction that
Great Britain and her colonies would suf
fer more severely in case of war against
Russia, than she suffered in her contest
with Prussia. All the great powers of
Europe are ready to reconsider the Paris
treaty Of 1856.
The Times has strong article on the
grave situation of affairs. 1t says if the
Russians put fleet in the Black Sea,
Turkey will be able to sweep il off. If
she is not, England and other powers are
bound to do so.
LONDON, Nov. IAN the papers
here speak of the Russian demand as in
solent. England will stand to treaty en-
gagements, and will stand alone through
out. England's preparations for defense
arc extensive. Giberallar is being re
Erovisioned. and the government has
purchased powder in large quantities.
10 the event of declaration Of war,
Egypt. Servia and Reumania will unite
against Turkey for independence.
VIENNA, Nov. l8.-A special teIe-
gram to the Herald says that while great
excitement had been created here on the
Russian question, tho feeling, decidedly,
is not warlike.
1t is the general belief that the Rus:
sian movement really is only demon
stration intended to work in the interest
of Prussia, in order that the outside
world may have something else to do
besides watch the operations o: the Pms
slams in France.

WALL STREET.

New YoRY. Nov lS.-Wall street
markets are all in state of feverish ex-
element this afternoon, and the fluctua-
tons are more violent than for some time
past. In the gold rooms the dealings
are very large and attended with much
excitement, while the price reached a
high point to day. This was caused by
the cable kilograms from Europe which
reported the lower prices for bonds, and
the uneasy feeling in financial circles
there. On Stock Exchange the pressure
to sell was increased, and at times stocks
sold with great freedom. The day clos
ed with some abatement in the excitement
ard steadier feeling, although Wall street
speculations are generally very much
mixed in regard to the future.

No better commentary on the hollow
ness of Democratic pretensions in regard
to the reduction of taxes can be desired
than that which is supplied by the record
of votes during the last session of Con-
gress. The reforms by which Repnb-
cans reduced taxes to an amount little less
than $50, 000,0 900, were carried not only
without Democratic help, but in spite Of
Democratic opposition. Upon This point
the list of votes is conclusive. Thus, in
the House, but five Democrats voted for
the bill at its fiual stage. while forty sew
en- Democrats voted against The bill, aud
against affording the relief to tax payers
which II provided. In the Senate, two
Democrats voted for and five against the
bill as il passed that body. When
Democratic orator talks loudly about tax
alton, then, let these facts be used to ST.
lence him. They prove that for the re
duction of fiscal burdens the people owe
mo thanks TO the Democrats. For that
work the Republican party alone is emit
tied to credit.-Erchange.
