The Crisis In tho East.

"The warlike attitude of Servia" is what
now troubles the diplomacy of Europe.
There is something almost comic in the efforts
of all the great Powers with the exception
of Russia to hold back this little State from
making war upon the Ottoman Empire, like
hall dozen men with an excited young
bulldog by the tail begging him not to join
the attack Of his little brothers upon some
huge but unwieldy animal It is the
secret plotting of Russia in Servia and
Montenegro that gives the situation it's
gravity, for whatever pressure is brought
to bear upon Prince Milan by his subjects
Russian hints of armed support and Russian
appeals to panslavism are at the bottom of
the agitation. At present it seems improb-
able that war can be avoided. In case the
dreaded eventuality arises, what will the
great Powers do? Austria, it is stated, will
remain strictly neutral Great Britain
stands in manner pledged to help Turkey,
but it appears that the English Cabinet is
not q unit upon the grave question in what
event and to what extent Turkey is to be
helped. 1t is probable that one party in the
Cabinet would help her against all at
tacks, while the other would only
take hostile measures in case Russia
came actively to the aid of the Principalities,
for it is almost a foregone conclusion that
Montenegro will go to war if Servia does
This reported division in the Disraeli Cabi-
net may for time lead to an abandonment
of Turkey to her fate as Denmark was left to
hers in the Schleswig- Holstein war, for in
the difficulty Of deciding between two costly
and troublesome policies the Cabinet may
fall back upon the easy compromise of doing
nothing at ALL Unfortunately if the combat
once begins mastery inactivity" will not be
long possible for England. When she goes
into the fray it will assume vast proportions
on both sides. Turkey as Moslem Power
in Europe is more than ever doomed.

assemblies to-day is not q Tilden Convention.
1t will do him great honor. 1t will recognize
fully those achievements and attributes
which make him one Of our most illustrious
fellow citizens. II he were wise he would
be content with this recognition, and at
once dominate the Convention He does not
want the dramatic glory of going down, as
Blaine did, with his colors flying. He is too
old for that or for any prolonged career in
the party. He is wise enough to see that if
he cannot combine the elements of victory
he should name the man who could. It is
not his fault that John Kelly is raging
against him.like an Andalusian bull Just en-
are frothing over him in state of political
hydrophobia. All of this is to his honor.
Kelly fights him because he would not go on
his knees to the Tamnapy Juggernaut. Pen
dleton assails him because he will not accept
reputation. A statesman who has assumed
high responsibilities and uprooted deeply
seated wrongs must pay the penalty
which threatens the Governor at st.
Louis. He will do wisely if out of
this chaos, ont of this tempest of
detraction and calumny, he plucks the fruits
of real victory. 1t will be his victory
indeed if, instead of being quietly butchered
by the angry heelers of Kelly, the crazy re-
pudiationists of Allen and the Indifferent
chivalry from the South, he rises above
vanity and ambition, and, in naming ticket
like Thurman and Parker, names men who
will poll the united strength Of the demo-
cratic party-a ticket rs strong in political
and perhaps in a national sense as Hayes
and Wheeler.

ENGLAND AND CHrxA-The English evil
IDENTIFY have designs upon China, and it
need not be surprising should there be war
between the two countries in the very near
future. The presence Of English soldiers in
Burmah ready to enter the Chinese Empire
and Of an English fleet in Chinese waters,
when taken in conjunction with the naughty
conduct of the English Minister toward the
Pekin authorities, can have no other mean
ing than that of war; England has been
painting for war with China almost con-
stantly during the past two years. Every
event which gave even the color Of an ex-
cusc for arbitrary and arrogant conduct
toward the Chinese has been employed for
stirring up strife, and the Margary affair APP
parently is to be tortured into an excuse for
invasion and war; Other nations, however.

PROBATION AGAINST FIRE on the Fourth
of July is agitating the reinsurance companies,
which regard the day as one likely to be
used by incendiaries to destroy their own
property. It is curious development of
anticipated crime. and we are slow to believe
in it. The real design, perhaps, in these pre-
cautionary measures is to take advantage OF
the patriotic fervor of the Centennial to
vitiate insurance policies whenever it is
shown that people have failed to celebrate
the Fourth after the manner prescribed by
the companies.

annoyances which often beset the conscien-
tious rowing man. This speaks well for
their systems of training and if they will
give timely heed to the apparent mistakes
they are making in the two directions noted
they will have the satisfaction of rowing
their race as it should be rowed, with every
man in his best form.

The Sewing Machine Companies and
the seamstresses.


The hardy statement of correspondent,
describing himself as o bookkeeper, that the
sewing machine companies ''have made no
money during the last few years, is one Of
those mild perversions of the truth which are
easy to classify. It is also COM
pletely aside from the point that
machines are sold at enormous profits by
them, entailing great misery on the poor
and the hardworking in the endeavor to pay
the sums demanded. This has not been an
swered nor is it likely to be. We can well
understand the trouble the companies meet
in attempting to draw these extortionate
rates from the needlewomen and that it
unfortunate creatures vigorously to the day
on which their instalment is due but it is
admitted on all hands that the sharpest
practices are carried on in the trade, the
only reservation being that ii is ''the rascal
round the corner who does these
things. If the companies do not reap
the old profit on their business that
made poor men millionnaires in year
or two they should learn the lesson of the
times, that the falling off in demand means
that they should seek an extension of busi-
ness by selling at fair rates-rates that would
not leave room for cases like Bridget Barry's,
where machine was taken away on which
ffty-fve dollars had been paid, probably
three times the first cost of the article. But
no! The companies want big prices, and by
system of combination that keeps small
manufacturers out Of the market they keep
prices up. When machine passes out Of
the hands of the monopoly and is sold at
auction, say after being in use
short time, it rarely brings as much as
twenty dollars, indicating that half the
present prices charged on instalments is
what the articles are worth when new. Half
the present prices would give large profit.
Instead we are treated by the dear big COM
panies to dispositions on their tender
heartedness, their poor business and ''the
large commissions to agents who sell their
goods"
