The war between Russia and Tur.

The war between Russia and Tur-
key continues to attract general atten-
ton, though there has, as yet, been lit
tie fighting. Russia is pushing for
ward very large armies, but the Turks
seem prepared to meet them, and on
every occasion when they have come to
blows the invaders have been the suf-
ferers. Meanwhile, as we supposed
would be the case, Moslems from every
part of the Mahommedan world, sympa-
thize with and quietly extend aid to
Turkey, and the armies Of the Sultan
are increasing in numbers and are gen.
orally well equipped. Western Europe
looks on the fray in a condition of in
tense excitement, but these nations are
too suspicious of each other to permit
of their taking active part in the strife,
and it now looks as though they may be
expected to become involved in war
with each other at an early day.
1t is feared that ex-president
Lerdo, of Mexico, intends organlz-

against that government from Texas,

MOT long since the Board of
Commissioners of Cook country,
Illinois, passed a resolutions direct
ing the County Treasurer to take up
outstanding orders and issue IN lieu
thereof, and also in payment of new
claims against the county, new
orders bearing seven per cent. in
terest. After taking legal advice
the Treasurer refuses to obey, on the
ground that the Board had no au-
thority to issue bonds unless the
creation of such debt was authorized
by a popular vote. We believe
that this is a correct view, and
doubt if County Boards have the
legal right to incur debts beyond the
amount of taxes collectable during
the pending year.

the latter have all resigned. Because
Of the opposition Of the Senators and
Deputies to the policy of the Presi.

one month. French partizanism is
always red-hot when it is hot, and
revolutions are always handy. OF
course, the opponents of Mcmahon
are exceedingly bitter, and, anxious

him, they accuse him of favoring the

His letter is a well-tempered produc
