offensive warfare. We shall quote his state
ment while everything combines to make
us safe, everything also combines to make US
harmless. To judge from recent experience,
the relative share of maritime force in agrees
sive warfare is dwindling, and we are an
essentially, incurably, maritime Power All
the sea dses for us as defenders of our own
shores il would impartially do against US when
We proceed to attack the shores OF others.
In the Baltic Cronstadt is more inaccessi-
bic to hostile fleets than ever. Russia has
fifty iren-clads, and the forts which defend the
entrance Of the river Neva are imprognable.
A British feet venturing into these waters
would expose itself to destruction. In the
Black Sea the English might lombard Odessa,
Kertch and few other ports Of minor impor-
lance but, on the whole, they would incur
heavier loss than they could infict.
The only Power which could be the ally Of
England is Austria. Is it probable that Fran
els Joseph will risk second Sadowa and the
Acknowledgement Of the Austrian empire? At
the first demonstration Of hostility Rus
sian army Of five hundred thousand
men Is In readiness to bear down upon
Vienna. On the other hand, Russia has
repeatedly declared that she has no designs
upon any part Of the Turkish territory. She
states that the liberty of the Black Sea is
vital to her interests as first rate Power.
She wants nothing more and will be satisfied
with netting less. Public opinion will recognize
tina iuatica If her damands No ono can d0nv
that the Treaty Of 1856 has been repeatedly
violated, and the clause concerning the Black
Sea is in contravention Of the grand principle
Of the liberty Of the seas. In view Of the
foregoing arguments and facts the present
administration should lend its moral support
to the cause Of Russia, and thus discharge the
debt of gratitude we owe that Power.

The War situation In France.

We are somewhat at loss to form any
definite opinion as to the real condition of the
contending armies In the Valley Of the Loire.
The kilograms are SO mixed and the claims
on both sides so contradictory that 1t is almost
impossible to get at the actual state of affairs
in that section of France. That there has
been fighting at Beaune-la- Rolande, town
in northeasterly direction, yesterday. We
have good reason to believe; but the decisive
battle, which, in all probability will decide the
fate of France, has not yet been fought. A
despatch from Tours says that the French
forces near Glen and Montargis advanced
towards Pithiviers, in conjunction with the
forces stationed near Artenay, and at
tackled the Germans successfully /; but
the coming up Of forty thousand fresh
German troops seemed to operate as a
check on the victorious march Of the French.
This is but repetition Of the strategy adopted
by the Germans throughout the campaign.
They have ever been ready with men to con-
csntrate at any particular point at the proper
time. Perhaps to the adoption of this system
the greater portion Of their extra ordinary sue
cess in the present war is due. Though the
despatch from Tours claims victory, with
great less to the Germans and some guns, an
equal amount Of consideration is entitled to
| the announcement from Versailles asserting
that the Germans vera victorious. One thou
! sand prisoners are said to have fallen into
their hands, and the operations throughout
the day were directed in person BY Prince
Frederick Charles. Along the whole line
fighting appears to have taken place, and il
the Duke Of Mecklenburg believed ia the easy
capture of LIE Mans he must have experienced
disappointment in his attempt to capture it, If
he made such an essay, as the dispatches
would lead us to infer he did, for that city is still
held by the French and defended by force
variously estimated at from twenty-five thou
sand to fifty thousand men. The victory at
| Amiens is conclusive. The French were beaten
there, and royal despatch from King William
announces the fact From all that can be
learned of General Manteuffel's future move
ments the belief is that he Intends to move
northwards and attack Lille and then move
on Dunkirk. Time, however, will reveal what
is now wrapped in mystery Three de-
monstrations were made from different points
| Of Paris on Monday, but each resulted in
failure. There is little in the situation Of
affairs in France to-day to chase away the
gloom that hovers over that once proud but
now Inundated nation.

DE PALADNEs ON THE OFFENsIvE.-As
usual both belligerents claim to have gained
successes in the engagement reported to have
taken place at Beaune-la- Rolande on Monday.
1t is evident, however, that the engagement
was iudecisive of results. AT the same time
some Importance must be attached to the
fact that the French were the assailauts,
and not the Germans. De Paladines
seems to be making a desperate effort to
pierce the Prussian left centre, and, throwing
back the left wing, march upon Versailles and
raise the siege of Paris before the Prussian
forces can concentrate upon his rear. What
success will attend his movements remains to
be seen. Failure, however, does not neces-
sarily Involve repetition Of the Sedan disas-
ter. While LIE Mans is held by the French
forces he has safe line of retreat, even though
he be cut off from Tours, which he is very
likely to be in a day or two.

WOMEN TEACHERS IN THE PUBLIC SOHooLs.-

women teachers in the public schools OF this

claim that where the duties performed by

should not be any such inequality in pay as
now exists. No one Will dispute the fairness

AT LAST GENERAL TRooHU Has MADE A
SoRTIE, but 1t was so feeble that it was easily
repulsed. Three demonstrations are reported
to have been made-one from Mount Valerien,
against Bezons, a few miles from Versailles,
which took place Monday night; another
against Montretout, ana third against
Choisy-le-Roi, both of which were made yes
terday morning. The last referred to was the
most serious, but none Of them seem to have
been made with any vigor. Now or never is
the time for Trochu to fight If he cannot
even cut his way through the Prussian lines
he can keep his opponents employed and pre-
vent their sending reinforcemeuts to the army
near Orleans. ~

AN ABSURD RUMoR--The rumor that Prus-

island Of st. Domingo There is no room for
another Of the European Powers among the
holders Of the West India Islands. Spain has
outlived her welcome in Cuba, and, soon or
late, she will have to leave. The Monroe doc
triue will not permit any extension in any
shape Of the European balance of power in
those waters. 1t must, on the other hand,
prepare to give way to manifest destiny, |"
beginning with the island of st. Domingo, for
we have no idea that General Grant has aban-
doned his popular and inviting scheme of
annexation. We shall probably hear Of it again
in his message to Congress on Monday or

Omcial Vote Of tho City.

The Board of Canvasssrs, having performed
their duty, give us the official returns Of the
vote at the late election. The report gives
Hoffman for Governor 1888 votes, Woodford
34,391, which, with over thousand scattering
ballots, shows total vote for Governor Of
122,OS4. For Mayor, Hall received II, 037,
and Ledwith 46,392. The total vote for the
Office Of Mayor was ll9,4lS. Matthew I.
Brennan polled 1917 votes for Sheriff and
Charles e. Loew 1882 for County Clerk.
The action Of the Board Of Canvassers has
settled the fact Of a majority for the democrats
in the next Assembly. The Committee on
Protests having reported in favor of the cleo
tisn of Mr.. Carey for the Seventh Assembly
district the Board accepted the report and
declared Mr.. Carey duly elected. This breaks
the tie in the lower house, but 1t will not spoil
the fun which may be expected at the
approaching session. Tammany has things
now her own way; SO we may look for Mr..
Hitchman az next Speaker, and, as succession
in Office is recognized in the highest officer,
Cornelius Armstrong will probably ill his last

NONSENSE. I'VE have an absurd story from
Versailles to the effect that, in an interview
with Odo Russell, Bismarck said the uncon-
dtional surrender Of Paris would not be
accepted. The capitulation Of the city would
only be permitted when the conditions for
complete cessation Of hostilities had been
agreed to-" That Bismarck could have said
anything of the kind is improbable. Should
the supply of provisions in Paris fail and an
offer be made to surrender the Prussians
would be compelled by all the rules Of civil
lized warfare to accept the offer, unless they
were willing to feed the garrison until the
work Of paciflcation was complete throughout
France. That is something so manifostly
sensical that the idea of its occurrence cannot
be entertained for moment. Paris is not
likely to capitulate except to starvation, unless
the temper Of the present rulers of France
changes wonderfully. When Trochu offers to
lay down his arms King William will receive
his surrender gladly enough, for, putting
aside the barbarity Of refusal, the Prussians
would not care to be assaulted by famished
army driven to desperation.

Report Of the Commissl0nsr Of AgricsitarS@
\ We publish in another column copious alb
stract of Commissioner Caprons Report ON
Agriculture, which is replete with interesting
facts upon this subject. It appears that while
some scientific progress Is going on through
out the country there is still great want Of
the knowledge that the land ,must be recu-
perated only by the judicious alienation OF,
crops. For want of this practice among our
farmers thousands of acres Of really good soil
are being exhausted every year-litsrally
starved out. THIS is and has been for
years the ruinous habit of the Southern
planter. While an acre could raise few
bushels Of grain II was worked out, and
then left TO utter impoverishment. Hence
whole tracts of the best lands became In time
q wilderness. The report draws attention 10
the fact that many exotic plants and trees can
be cultivated in this country by proper care
for instance, the valuable cinchons, or PERU
viaa bark tree. The experiments made in
the Department of Agriculture prove that It
can be grown here with great success. We
learn from this report that the Japan ese silk
worm Is acolimated here, and fourishes
healthfully in the open air on the nexious
ailanthus trees Of Brooklyn. AS yet the ami
NAL has not been utilized here as extensively
as it has been in California. We commend this
report Of the Commissioner of Agriculture to
the attention of eur rustic readers They will
find many valuable facts and suggestions In It.

The MAYORS REASONS for appointing
Thomas j. Barr to the vacant Police Com
mlssioner's chair appear to be pretty good.
The Mayor says that for twenty years he has
had experience Of Mr.. Bars capacity as a
man thoroughly acquainted with police disci-
plins-an excellent qualification, we should
say, for Police Commissioner. Moreover.
he finds that Mr.. Barr has enjoyed the good
will and respect Of the people in this, that
they sent him to the State Senate and to Con-
gress; that be was entrusted With an impor-
tant Office during the Var By the federal
government-in all which stations he displayed
the highest integrity and performed his duties
with usefulness and honor. For these reasons
Mayor Hall concludes that Mr.. Barr is emit
nently qualified to fulfil the duties Of Police
Commissioner. This is an excellent record
with which the new Commissioner enters upon
his responsibilities. As Mr.. Barr is gentle
man Of great intelligence and gifted with no
small share of common sense, it is not likely
that the public will differ with the Mayors
estimate Of him as public officer. ~sftss
