The Cloud in the North.

1t is possible that the cable dispatches do
not exactly represent the relations between
Germany and Denmark. We do not expect
entire accuracy from those Continental friends
who serve us with ''the opinions of Bis
marck and the Gear. Very often we have the
breathing of paragraphs intended not so much
to convey news as to influence or sound public
opinion. We can understand how Prince
Bismarck, who shows fine newspaper
genius and would make an admirable HERALD
correspondent, would be anxious to test the
feeling of Germany toward Denmark.
Whether the cabled reports are exactly true or
not, it is very evident that there is a cloud
rising in the north of Europe, and that the
Schleswig- -Holstein question, or as it may be
more properly called, the Danish question,
may assume once more grave importance.
So far as we can unravel these rumors, it
seems that Germany has been putting an un-
due pressure upon her Danish subjects in
Schleswig and Holstein and where this press
ure is resisted expelling them from her do
minions. Denmark protests against this
course, and Bismarck answers that the readi-
with Germany is to enter the German Empire.
This would leave her King subordinate
monarch, like the kings of Bavaria and
Saxony, and reduce Denmark into the posi-
ton of Baden or Saxe-Coburg. The advan-
tage to Denmark, according to Bismarck,
would be the protection that this small, lonely,
defenceless Kingdom would receive from q
powerful Empire. The advantage to Ger
many would be the possession of new ports on
the Baltic, of the Danish feet and of useful
and brave population, not without uses
in these days of emigration. However
gratifying the alliance might be to
Germany or Denmark, it does not
seem to please the mighty ruler of the
North. Russia claims to be the mistress of
the Baltic, and her ambition is supposed to
look to the absorption of Sweden and Norway,
even as she absorbed Swedish Finland and
Courland not many years ago. Copenhagen
in the possession of Germany would be
serious menace to ST. Petersburg. Accord
inply the Gar is said to be very angry with
these sGerman intrigues." He has shown
his wrath by declining to take part in the re-
cognition of Spain. So serious is the CON-
plication that England is said to be alarmed.
The Queen. who has natural interest in
German questions, has summoned Mr..
Disrueli, the Prime Minister, and Lord
Derby the Foreign Minister, to attend her in
the Highlands, that she may have prompt
| counsel in the event of one of those sudden
strokes which are apt to fall like thunder
bolt upon the peace of Europe.
The cloud may blow away, for certainly
! Germany can have no craving for war, and
Russia will scarcely attack Germany until she
is sure of the aid of France France, unfor-
tunately, is only too willing to fight and her
people would too gladly welcome the slightest
pretext for war with the conquerors of Alsace
and Lorraine; but France is not ready, and
in the meantime, unless Bismarck should feel
that he had better fight now than later, VIII en-
France is armed, there will scarcely be war.

The FALL RIVER INQUEST. The evidence
before the Coroner's jury at Fall River yester-
day developed the fact that the Fire Depart
ment of that city was deficient in ladders ade-
quate to saving the lives of the victims to that
terrible fire. Thus it is always. There is no
exit from burning buildings by the stair
ways, because these are too few OF too mar
row, and there are no ladders long enough to
reach the windows which are the only other
means of escape. In q hundred factories.
not only in. Massachusetts, but in New
York, like fire would have an equally long
list of victims. Is it possible that these fire.
quent disasters will not move some one to
labor for greater security in the great facto-
res of the country? Here is mission as
noble as any to which philanthropist ever de-
voted life,

BAD BoY.-The killing of the boy Robert
Bell by another lad named William Harrison
is one Of the worst evidences Of the want Of
moral training among the youth in this city
which has been developed in long time
Harrison quarrelled with Bell, and, pursuing
him, deliberately plunged an umbrella wire
into his head. Harrison has not yet been
arrested. His crime seems to be one Of the
most inexcusable murders ever committed by
q youth, and he must be arrested and sternly
punished that similar offences among young
men may be repressed.

The national BANKS are not content with
the monopoly they enjoy, but some Of them
are resorting to fraudulent practices to in
crease their gains. Nothing could be more
contemplate than the petty trick of making
checks payable one day after date instead OF
on demand, in order to save the two cent
check stamps. There is only one proper
course with these institutions, and that is to
compel the forfeiture of their charters when
ever they are detected violating the law.
