The London Telegraph says "The British
nation win do well to make upits mind betimes
that Russia has deliberately entered on aggres-
siye designs, and that, consequently, our states
men should be ever ready to grapple with an
emergency certain, sooner or later, to arise.
They can do 80 with clear consciences, because
the encounter will be none Of their seeking,
but the direct consequence of hostile activity
intended to overthrow or neutralize the infu-
ence and power of England throughout Asia.
General Lomakin's march up the Attrek is q
comparatively trivial yet significant incident in
the great drama"
Miss Turner is once more before the public.
She has written a book-a regular nineteenth
century novel, with the yellow covers left off.
She has struggled with the muse of romance
and produced q book which will undoubtedly
be read by many, and found quite sensational
enough for the tastes of the average reader of
our modern literature. GA Woman in the
Case" is a love-story where the blind passion
plays conspicuous part, and there is just
enough of the th-r-r-r-rilling tone about it to
make it acceptable to the romance-lover who

terrible crime.
Certain clothing merchants who sell first
= class goods in their establishments have un
necessarily taken offense at an article pub
lished in the columns of the Saturday edition
of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, tending to
show the enormous profits of class of pre-
tentious dealers in shoddy, and have threat
ened to withdraw their advertising. If we
have been successful in calling the public at
tention to the merits of first-class houses over
those who deal in shoddy goods, we have per-
formed our duty to the public, and can well
afford to lose the pittance of advertising
patronage of the offended class who plead
guilty to the charge of dealing in and adver-
tising shoddy as frst-class goods. We hope
to see the line distinctly drawn, and shall
await the result with the most disinterested
pleasure. In the meantime our columns are
open to the public for more light on a subject
which this little furry shows will bear inyesti
cation.
1t Will be left for Democratic President
supported by a Democratic Congress to take
the first real step toward specie payments
N. Y. World.
This bit of news is really painful. To think
that we have got to wait another century be-
fore we can enjoy that calm confidence which
will spread over the country upon the resump-
tion of specie payments is too sad to reflect
upon. And even then We may not get it, for
the Democratic party is liable to die; and, If it
should die, then, according to the prophet and
philosopher of the World, we can never resume
specie payments. 1t is certainly very sad
plight to put country in, and, for the sake of
posterity, won't the World modify Its remarks
so as to give our precious land saving clause
in this important matter? Because you feel
gloomy yourself, Mr.. Marble, you should not
say such gloomy things that will make every
body unhappy about you. Think of it ! The
country is to wait for Democratic supremacy
before 1t can put a silver dime down on the
counter, and call for gin and sugar with that
feeling of security and confidence which we all
so much need.
