The anxiety cvinced III England that Russia
may gain too much by the conquest of Iur-
key, portends another political storm, like that
which convulsed Great Britain after the decIa-
ration Of war last April. The Russians are
so confident of success as to play on the
British fears, and have already intimated that
they viii require scf-govemment for the
Christian population, independence for Rcu-
mania and Scryia, more territory for Monte
negro, the possession Of Kars and Batum, and
freedom of the Dardanelcs. A weli-known
Russian, Prince WassiltchkoG, goes further,
and proposes that Turkey shall surrender her
| iyoncad fleet, and allow no war vessels OK
ccpt her own and those of Russia to enter the
Black Sea. Ru>sia's demands, as thus indi-
Gated, may be puIposey exaggerated, but she
has paid heavy price for her victories, and Twill

! of conservatism in finance and politics are
| Therefore right when they assert that, il
! England desires to modify the settlement she
must be prepared to make her voice heard by
Che seizure of Egypt, or by some other war

nothing.

There seems to be some strange discrepancy
of figures IN the matter of street cleaning AT
The conference recently held upon the subject
the general opinion was set forth that more
money would have to be paid than is now, If
the streets are to he kept any cleaner. That
notion is supposed to lie at the base OF the

for any pay for this service, but he offers to
pay the city $500 per year for the privilege.
The ingenuity of our officials will now be sorely
taxed to make it clear to orr citizens that the

heavy expense. While the argument is taking
shape, of course the streets viii remain as
hey are.

By a majority of one, in a House less than
one-Quarter full, Southern war claim has been
approved. which looks somewhat like an entering
wedge Our Washington dispatches show that
ii is a claim for insurance money and dividends
collected on property seized by the Union
troops in New-Orleans. The property was re-
stored 20 the owners at the close of the war; but
the money collected had been paid into the Treas
ury, and could only be paid back by order OF
Congress. That order has now been secured,
so far ms the vote of the lower branch of Con-
gress can give it, If this bill is but the
first of a series, the fact that it appears to
have been passed by party vote will give
rise to some interesting speculation as to what
might happen, if the Senate, too, should have
a Democratic majority one of these days
Scrvia has done everything to show her host
tility to Turkey except 10 strike the fatal
blow. She has accepted large subsidy from
Russia, sent troops to the frontier, designated
the corps commanders, and issued Warilke
manifestoes Having gone so far, she hesl-
tates, apparently III order to get bet
ter terms as the price Of her alliance
Russia, however, is too confident OF success TO
hamper herself with embarrassing engage
mcnts, and is convinced that in the event
of the fall of Plevna. the SeTvlans W0uld Hy
to arms of their own accord, with the oi9ec' OF
charging the principality at the expense OF
Turkey. While the Cabinets are thus tradlos
on each others selfshne,s, it is not Improo-
able that the Scrvian troops VIII take the first
chance that offers to strike a blow at the
hated Ottoman.
