have been easily learned If the recovery snail
be as speedy as our correspondent predicts.
The strikes at Dundee and Oldham having
ended, the prospects of the British cotton
industry are likely to improve. In Dundee
wages were reduced FIVE per cent, but IN VA
ham the operatives terms were accepted IL
Is evident from this that the conflict was
owing mainly to dull trade, which rendered
The masters Indifferent to keeping their OPP
eratives employed.
The ingenuity and audacity of the Indian
Ring in its raids upon the National Treasury
are further illustrated in another scathing let
ter from Gen. Walker, of which we have an
abstract to-day. When the Government Is
called upon to pay for costly tooth, hair, ana
nail brushes, not TO speak of theater tickets,
for the use of the noble Red men who visit
Washington, the .mpudence of the plunderers
approaches the sublime.
Server Pasha reports the instruction in Her
zegovina az dying out and likely to be quelled
before the Consular Conference takes place.
News from other sources, however, represents
the insurgents to be intent on having Chris
tian Prince, who will pay nominal allegiance
to Turkey. The avowal of this purpose and
the reported revolt in the southeast of Bosnia
render it doultfiI whether Server Pashas an
ticipations will be promptly realized.
1t is not creditable to the PENNSYLVANIA
Democrats that the contest for the guberna-
tOIial nomination ut the Erie Convention IA III
reality little more than struggle for power
and precedence between two politicians Such,
however, according to our advices, il seems TO
be. Senator Wallace is true to lis record in
subordnating everything else to desire for
political dictatorship. lie has found formld-
able rival in the person of Congressman Ran
dali, and whatever may be the aspirations
of the latter he has ground for public sym
pathy in his pronounced opposition to the
notorious Treasury Ring, in defense OF which
Mr. Wallace has brazenly taken up arms.
A surveying party of the Hayden expedition
has had q narrow escape from destruction by
hostile Indians 1t will not be surprising to
those who have followed the story of this
class of scientific excursions, if such great
risks shall be taken once too often. 1t does
not appear from the account that this party,
Just fitted for successful Indian attack, had
any military escort whatever. With soldier
in command, these explorers would not even
have been led into such an ambuscade. When
the massacre actually las taken place, and
this sort Of fOolhardy adventure winds up with
a horrible climax, the question will be asked
whether there was any prospect of discoveries
more valuable than the lives that are lost
In modern naval warfare the part that the
topedo is to play cannot yet be foretOld.
From the day when our revolutionary anccs-
tors sang the ballad that told of the Battle Of
the Kegs, down to recent comments on Secre-
tary RobesOn's grand review at Key West,
there has always been large number OF Off
GERS in our naval service that regard the tor
pcdo as pretty toy, better fitted to frightcn
than do actual harm. But the real destruc-
ton which these cOntrivances, in the hands of
our enemies, inflicted during the late war
took them out of the catalogue of quaker
guns and Chinese military devices with which
they had been classed. Great ingenuity has
recently been applied by inventors of estab-
lished reputation toward making travelling tor
pedOes effective at long distances while per-

The friendly relations between the white
and the colored people in the South rest upon
too delicate a basis to encounter such shocks
az that caused by the Middle Georgia con-
spiracy without risk of serious cons quenccs
either immediate or remote. Respect for law
and order has avcrted the bloodshed which
seemed imminent in the disturbed region, but
evil effects remain in mutual distrust where
the people Of both races had begun to learn
how to live together in peace. The letter from
