Peace on the Border.

The HERALDs San Antonio correspondent
telegraphs that General Ord has received in
structions from Washington that the Mexi-
can General Trevifio is to guard those points
on the Lower Rio Grande where cattle raid
ers cross, and is to catch and punish them.
General Ord, who has now about thousand
men in his command and is to receive
another cavalry regiment is, we suppose, to
guard the Upper Rio Grande, where the in
cursions are mostly by Indians. General
Ord is not to interfere with the operations
of the Mexican commander within his limits.
1t should be understood that tile border
OH the Lower Rio Grande is for some dis
lance on each side composed of an impene-
trable jungle or chaparral, through which
the cattle raiders have cut II few roads, and
the passage is possible only ut these roads.
We suppose General Treviio will be
allowed to enter Texas in pursuit
of robber bands, while General Ord
in his turn will continue to pursue
into Mexico. The responsibility is thus
put on the Mexican General of preserving
peace and order on part of the frontier.
If he performs his duty satisfactorily nobody
will have a right to complain. If he does
not or cannot no doubt General Ord will
assist him. Meantime we advise President
Diaz to take care of Cortina for if he gets
loose he will make trouble for Mexico.

Collector Simmons Means Business.
Collector Simmons has ''gone out of
politics" to the great amazement Of Boston
and Massachusetts,. Having his own politi-
cal tail cut off he very naturally announces
to his subordinates that it is the fashion,
and they are to walk up and have their own
caudal appendages locked. Mr.. Simmons
and five OF six other federal office-holders
have resigned their places on the State Com
mittee, with the disastrous result that MI.
George F. Hoar was at once chosen to preside
over the next State Convention. All the
Custom House clerks and inspectors are
required to sign an agreement not to inter-
fere or take part in partisan caucuses or
conventions, and if now the postmasters are
also driven out the republican voters Of
Massachusetts, may once more have an op-
portunity to form a State convention and
send delegates to express their real opin-
ions. How odd it will seem Somehow we
cannot help thinking that if anything would
revive popular interest in the republican
party this would do it. But it may be too
late.

will from time to time upset the shrewdest
party calculations.
Finally, we should advise our politician
to insist on economy in every branch of the
State government, and in the city govern
ments also; and this not in general terms
but we should urge him to take clerk and
box of documents to the seashore with HIM
and get himself up with great care
on this subject, studying all its details.
And We believe he could not do better than
take for his text the remarkable resolutions
adopted last week by the Brooklyn Board of
Works, which we like better the more we
look at them. We reprint them here for the
use Of politicians of both the defunct par
ties and for the rising young men:--
Whereas the duties devolving upon tho Board arc

1t is our belief that there are in this State
just now good many promising openings
for young or middle-aged men who would
like to go to the Legislature, and who can
do so if they will have the courage to place
themselves on such platform as we have
above suggested, without much regard to
what party they belong to, and with de-
termination to make their mark by serving
the people and kicking out of the party
traces without moments hesitation if that
is necessary. There is a better promise OF
a career for ambitious public men just now
outside of the political machines than in
side. The machines are old and rickety and
are fast going to pieces. There is less danger
even to timid men from independence than
for long time past and as for man who
has brains and courage, he would be very
silly indeed to tie himself this fall to either
of the machines.

TIE Crisis OF the War at Hand.
The Cossack has crossed the Balkans.
The startling rumor that reached us yester-
day morning OF the appearance OF Russian
troops near the railroad line between jam
boil and Adrianople is confirmed by our de-
spatches this morning although the Rus
slams are now reported to have been driven
back after a desperate engagement. 1t ap-
pears that the elevated plateaus OF the
Balkan range are peopled by Bulgarian ref
ugees who are familiar with number of
practicable passes Of which the Turks have
no knowledge. These mountaineers are
naturally in sympathy with the Rus
SLAMS and lend them all the aid
they can ia the campaign against their
enemy. Therefore it is probable that while
the Turks were endeavoring to guard the
passes menaced by the Russians and through
which the ordinary and we'll known routes
terprising Cossack has been pushing his
way unobstructed into the plains beyond the
mountains. Whether this advance OF the Rus
slams was merely 8 reconnaissance makes
very little matter just now, because it proves
that they can cross tho Balkans without
serious difficulty and threaten the Turkish
communications.
1t cannot be expected that the Turks will
yield without struggle. Already the first
battle south of the Balkans has been fought
between the Russian advance guard and
the troops covering Adrianople. Our special
despatch from Jeni Saghra, near the scene
of the action, gives the details of bloody
battle, in which the Turks have evidently
gained the advantage. They had to con-
tend against an unsupported force, yet both
sides fought with extraordinary courage.
The capture Of Nicopolis gives the Rus
slams another place of crossing from Turna
Magureli, which will be speedily availed Of
This success releases for active service the
troops concentrated at that point, and
renders operations against Sofa and
Widdin much less difficult. The siege of
Rustchuk may be said to have commenced.
The Turks may stubbornly defend the
ruined town, but are more likely to retire
from the Danube altogether, as the Russians
must have by this time cut the railroad at Ras-
grad and completely isolated Rustchuk. 1t
is reported that Eyoub Pacha has defeated the
Russians near Tirnova, but no statement
from the Turkish Commander-in-Chief con-
firms the rumor The Turks also claim to
have destroyed the Sistova bridge and admit
the loss Of monitor, but this story is also
unconfrmed. In Armenia the Turks have
recovered ground as tar as Kars Mukhtar
Pacha may be tempted into the dangerous
error Of employing some Of the garrison MS
part OF his field army and exposing himself
to the danger of losing everything by risking
battle in the open ground. There is no
doubt that the Russians have retired as
much for strategic reasons as from diff
Guilty in obtaining supplies. We must there
fore be prepared for some startling changes
in the situation before the present month
draws to o close.
