Russian intimidation.

Intimidation is now complained Of in
England Russia has under arms it ap-
pears, one million men. and that is a men
ace. She has sent to Western Europe the
distinguished diplomat to whom she has in
trusted all the negotiations with regard to
Turkey and that is another menace. 1t is a
menace if she prepares to make war it is a
menace if she endeavors to make peace. For
certainly lgnatieff's mission is peaceful. It
to obtain some form of declaration that will
save Russia's dignity and honor, and SO
make it unnecessary to vindicate them by
war. Russia committed herself late in the
year to declaration that she would
make war in a certain contingency, and
that contingency has arisen. She must
make war therefore. and will, unless she
shall be able to plead another solution
by the proposed protocol. This attitude,
with million men in arms behind it, will
throw the responsibility of war finally on
the Powers that shall refuse to join in
the preparation of the protocol, and
that is the essence of the intimida-
ton of which complaint is made
in London. Meantime quite another
sort of intimidation is in progress in Bos-
mia, where events of the nature of those that
occurred last spring in Bulgaria seem immi-
nent. There the Turks are ready to relieve
their oppressed feelings by the massacre of
twenty thousand men and women or little
boys and girls, and feel sadly outraged, in
the touching phrase of Hobart Pacha, at the
want of so little kindly, generous feeling"
toward them in Europe.

The Toronto Leader does itself injustice,
we think, as it certainly does injustice to
the people of the Dominion. for whom it as
sumes to speak, by it's petulant remarks in
relation to the HEBALp's advocacy of free
trade between Canada and the United States.
An unrestricted commerce between the two
countries would be beneficial to both, but
would certainly be more advantageous to
our neighbors than to ourselves. The
strong efforts made by the Canadian
statesmen to promote the Reciprocity
Treaty Of 1854, and to procure its ex-
tension at the expiration Of the ten
years during which it was in force. are
sufficient evidence that they understand and
appreciate this fact. 1t is unnecessary now
to revert to the acts OF the Canadian govern
ment which made the Reciprocity Treaty
unpopular with the people of the United
States and induced its abrogation. It is
sufficient that on this side Of the line we are
now willing to extend the hand Of brother
hood to our neighbors for all commercial
purposes and to give to the industries of
both countries all the advantages which we
believe free trade would insure.
The Leader may be assured that there is
no desire for annexation in tho United
States. Our country is large enough as it
is, and our political economists are satisfied
that we should be better off with Canada
as friendly and independent neighbor.

terest as we'll as Of race and of social
intercourse, than SO many States of the
Union. II we wish free trade between the
two countries it is quite as much for the
good of the Canadians as for our own
advantage. 1t seems folly in these days
to build up artificial barriers between
the inhabitants of the opposite sides of the
waters of the ST. Lawrence, and our con-
temporary will pardon us if we suggest that
its own arguments in favor of such policy
will scarcely bear the test OF criticism.
Under the present laws, says the Leader,
Canada suffers gross injustice. Her exports
ore taxed anu her imports 60 in free. Then,
surely she would be ut still greater
disadvantage under policy of protec-

The State and Congressional election in
New Hampshire occurs to-day. The State
offices to be filled are those of Governor and
Railroad Commissioner. Benjamin +. Pres
colt is the republican candidate for Gov
ernor, and Daniel Marcy is his opponent on
the democratic side. For Railroad Commits
sioner, Granville Z. Conn is the republican
and Thomas j. Dinsmore the democratic
nominee. There is a prohibition State
ticket, but it will poll only meagre vote,
and the success of the republican candidates
is almost certain. The chief interest of the
election, therefore, concentrates on the Con-
gressional contest. Three Representatives
are to be chosen. The First and Second dis
tricts two years ago gave small democratic
majorities under the influence of the demo-
cratic stidal wave" The Third district
then elected republican. The republican
candidates are Gilman Marston in the First,
James +. Briggs in the Second and Henry
W. Blair in the Third district, and the dem
ocratic candidates are Frank Jones in the
First, Alvah Sulloway in the Second and
Henry O. Kent in the Third. The reelection
of Frank Jones, who was member of the
last Congress, is considered highly proba-
BILE, the candidate being q successful and
popular business man who was twice chosen
Mayor before his election to the last House.
The two other districts are likely to be car
ricd by the republicans. Mr.. Blair was the
republican Representative in the late Con-
cress Constitutional amendments of some
Importance are to be voted on, but tho
campaign has been very tame one, and
it is likely that o light vote will be
polled.

mics of the supporters of oil the others. A
President who was not re-eligible would sell
dom or never attempt to control the choice
Of the national convention of his party. If
he abused his patronage at all it would be
only in the brief interval between the nom
ination and the election, whereas President
seeking new election spends the greater
part of his first term in prolonged intrigue
for another nomination. Ordinarily about
three years and three months intervene
between the Inauguration of President and
the nomination of his successor, and about
four months between the nomination and
the election. Even granting that Presi-
dent will use his patronage for his party,
the abuse would only last during four
months of the four years if he were ineli-
gible for reelection but if he hopes for
second term the abuse runs through the
whole four years. If the term is extended
to six years with ineligibility a second time,
as President Hayes recommends, still
smaller proportion of the period would be
devoted to party objects. An ineligible
President would not attempt to control the
party nomination, and it is precisely in in
trigues for nomination that the federal
patronage is so grossly abused. The argu-
ment in favor of re-eligibility is, therefore, of
the flimsiest texture, and proceeds in utter
disregard of the facts.

News from stanley.

All readers interested in geographical dis
covcry and in the progress Of exploration in
Central Africa will be pleased to hear again
from Mr.. Stanley, of whose latest move
ments an outline is given in our special cable
dispatches from London. It may be remem-
berod that previous to this news he was last
heard from by letters dated in April, 1876, and
which appeared in the HERALD in August.
He had then concluded his minute examina-
ton Of the Victoria Niyanza. and was max
ing his way toward new labors, giving
proper attention to the primary duty of a
traveller in countries Of that nature
the duty, namely, of keeping himself
alive. Toasted by some savage princes
and threatened and assaulted by others,
he again reached Lake Tanganyika and COM
pletely surveyed it's shores, and apparently
to some extent the country to the west of it.
Precisely to what extent he has examined
the western country we cannot know till his
letters arrive; but. partly from his own OBJ
servations and partly from accounts Of the
natives, he seems now able to locate great
lake hitherto unknown, which is called
Niyanza Chu Ngoma. Although unknown,
the existence of this lake has been guessed
at from the theories of physical geographers,
who regard the presence of such body of
water in that quarter as physical necessity
from the conditions known. If, as Stanley
believes, this lake has an important relation
to the Nile, as one of it's great sources, its
discovery will be brilliant addition to his
achievements in that country.

In the land Of the Winnebagos the Big
Indian of that warlike tribe sits by the
council fire or in the adjacent streets and
eats his heart. Dismay, chagrin, despair,
anger and apprehension appear on the faces
of the braves for the Big Indian has, in the
bitterness of his spirit, made q terrible
threat He has threatened to turn his face
to the wall and lie still and make believe that
he is dead, and thus to excite TIE repent
ance and remorse Of an ungrateful people
that will not let him have his own way.
"When you return home" said Push-ma-
ta-ha to his companions, 'the young men
will come out to meet you. They will ask
you, Where is 'Push-ma-ta-h hal? You will
say to them, 'Push-ma-ta- ha is no more
They will hear this like the sound of the
falling of mighty oak in the stiffness
of the forest" And that is just the way that
in the Winnebago village they have heard
the threat of the Big Indian for the sense
of startled horror, the wonder what may
come next, the conception that mere
earthquake or mcteoric shower would be in
the nature Of an anti-climax- this over
whelms their thoughts, and they have not en-
ergy enough left to put their heads in the
ashes or to sew on to their waistcoats
the buttons bursted off in the first paroxysm
of despair and rage Some insist that the
Big Indian should not take on in this way
merely because of the bad conduct of Man
Who Makes Hist Own Cabinet; but the Big
Indian is resolute and will positively die,
and the Little Indian will inherit all
his property, including the Winnebago
village and the seat in the United States
Senate.

We regret that there is any hitch or delay
in executing the wise intentions declared
by the new President in his inaugural. We
his wish to restore local self-government in
the two Southern States where it has not
already been re-established by the action of
the people. Even aside from considerations
ofright and justice, he should shrink from the
troublesome experience of his predecessor
in propping up governments which the
people of the States repudiate and detest-
President Grant himself, grown wise by ex-
perience, became heartily sick of his own
Southern policy, or rather of the Louisiana
and South Carolina part of it. In Arkansas,
in Texas, in Mississippi President Grant re-
fused to interfere, and the consequence was
that order Immediately arose out of chaos,
rs peaceful and orderly as New
York or Ohio. After President Grant
unwarily got entangled in Louisiana he
asked Congress to extricate him. or at least
relieve him from responsibility; but Con-
gress did not choose to act, and he still had
the difficulty on his hands up to the time of
the last election. Since then he has merely
preserved the peace, and before he went
out of Office he expressed the opinion that
the troops ought to be withdrawn. a very
complete trial of the policy OF interference
in some States and refusal to in
terfere in others brought him to the
conclusion that the non-interference
policy is the only sound one. We shall be
very sorry if President Hayes refuses to
profit by the annoying experience of his
predecessor and insists on paying tuition
fees in the same provorbially dear school.
He can never decide this question so easily
as now. Governor Nichols and Governor
Hampton are ready to give complete assur-
ance of their ability to maintain order, and
the President will make mistake if he does
not at once test their promises. To those
who best know the South the result is
not at all doubtful. President Hayes should
at once withdraw the troops because it is
right, and because he acknowledges the ex-
pediency of local self-government. He
should not stop till politicians have patched
up bargains about the election of Senator'S
This would bear too close resemblance to
the sale of justice by Court. What has the
President to do with the election of Sena-
tors? What title or color of title has he to
interfere? The country expects him to be
just Chief Magistrate, and not shutting,
bargaining politician.

Bogus Opposition TO Rapid Transit.
It is about time that public sentiment
should express itself in a very emphatic
manner in relation to the illegitimate oppo-
sition of the street railroad companies to the
great public work Of rapid transit and the
aid afforded to those corporations by venal
Aldermen and legislators
The so-called Injecting of property own
ers' to protest against the completion OF the
Gilbert Elevated Railroad which was held
at the Masonic Temple, last night, was only
another movement of the horse railroad
companies in the effort to defeat rapid tram
sit altogether. The meeting was promoted
by the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company and
paid for with the money of the combined
horse car corporations. 1t was intended for
effect on the Legislature, but was as illegiti-
mate in it's character as all the other demon
STATIONS made in the same interest 1t did
not represent New York property holders or
their sentiments, for they favor rapid transit
as a public convenience and as necessity
to the growth and prosperity of the metrop-
oils. The meeting was q false pretense, as
unsubstantial and unreliable as the doc
trine that the people have no rights in
Sixth avenue an avenue which was opened
and paid for by the city.
