LATE European advices indicate that
the excitement over the Anglo-Turkish
alliance is past. France was, for Il
time, more excited than Russia, but she
is cooling off again and the chances are
that The congress will not make any
move in the matter The British gov
enment has already taken possession
Of the Island of Cyprus and it willhe
after stand as a sentinel over the pos
sessions of England in Asia and the
Suez Canal. This treaty was doubtless
the wisest thing that Turkey could do
as it has placed England under greater
necessity than ever of preventing Rus
sian encroachmcnts upon Turkish Asia.

Berlin, unless modified to suit
the position which supervened since
the publication of the AngIo-Turkish
treaty. she must prepare for the troubles
she wished to avoid when going to Ber-
lin. 1t is understood that the French
government are getting ready to ask,
or already have asked, Russia whether
she does not prefer abandoning the idea
of annexation rather than see the Cy-
pcus treaty carried into effect. Should
this question be negatived, France, it is
thought. may adopt more active
policy.

The Raid on Farm Machinery.
Albany Evening journal

The tramp raid upon farm machinery
in Ohio and Indiana is one of the most
remarkable and fiendish exhibitions
which the Communistic craze has so far
presented. Many mowers and reap-
ers, left standing in the field over night,
have been found utterly demolished in
the morning. Flaming and bellicose
warnings have been issued by the law
less vagabonds, commanding farmers
to abs tain from using such implements
and threatening vengeance upon those
who refuse. The result is that large
numbers of farmers have housed their
reapers for protection and gone to work
in the old-fasnioned way to gather in
their harvest as best they may.
Now this is a very serious matter and
demands prompt action. So soon as a
knowledge Of this condition of things
reached the Governors of those States
they should have lost no time in calling
upon the Sheriffs of the several counties
wherein threats had been made and
over acts committed to exercise un-
usual diligence in ferreting out and
bringing the offenders to justice. The
viper might and should have been
crushed at once and the dignity of law
and order maintained The persons
engaged in this raid are clearly the
worst grade of tramps- class bent on
mischief and with Il fixed determina-
ton to shirk all honest work Right in
the very towns where the most reapers
have been destroyed by them they re-
fuse point-blank to enter the harvest
field for $3.50 day, board and lodging
included.
To reason with such fellows is waste
of time. If they know anything at all
they must know that the great farming
interests of the West never could have
been built up without these modern ag-
riculturaI implements. They know
that every reaper and thresher has
cheapened the bread for the hungry pop.
ulations of the great cities. They know
that thousands and thousands of work
ingmen without a dollar in the world to
start with have made themselves indie
pendent through the aid of machinery.
and they know that the same road is
! still open to others who will enter it.
They know that machinery has vastly
| increased rather than diminished the

them will illustrate the whole case. A
score of years ago our shoes and boots
were handmade. Now the work is
largely done by machines. The num-
Der of men employed in the business
has vastly increased, and through the
superior facilities for manufacturing we
have become a successful competitor
for share of the trade of the world.
There is no palliation whatever fol
this outrageous attack upon the far
mers in Ohio and Indiana. This is a
blow that strikes the poor man, the
mechanic and the laborer, harder than
it does the man of means, for the latter
can better afford to pay higher prices
for food 1t is blow which if repeated
and generally extended throughout the
West, would recoil upon every Eastern
purchaser of food. And the officials O
Ohio and Indiana owe solemn duty tC
the public to bring every offender to jus
tiee and protect the farmers in thei
essential rights.

The Tidy Housewife.

The careful tidy housewife, when she
is giving her house its spring cleaning,
should bear in mind that the dear in
mates of her house are more precious
than houses, and that their systems
need cleansing by purifying the blood,
regulating the stomach and bowels to
prevent and cure the diseases arising
from spring malaria and miasma. and
she should know that there is nothing
that will do it so perfectly and surely as
Hop Bitters, the purest and best of all
medicines. See other column.

ON THE RUN.
A Baker City, Oregon, dispatch of
the 18th inst. says this place has been
under great excitement for the past two
days, caused by the continued reports
of hostiles coming in On the North
Powder River. Families and stock for
miles around have been gathering in
here, and at Union since the 9th inst,
but, from returning scouts, we learn
that all reports are yet false. Col. San
ford's command is camped at Orc Dell,
Grand Ronde, in readiness to intercept
the hostiles should they attempt to 60
north via Grand Ronde. He has COM
pany of soldiers now scouting the Up
per Grand Ronde river, and Capt Cg-
bert is now on the North Powder river,
and has scouts out in all directions.
He has a company on the head waters
of Glover Creek. and, from the vicinity
of the troops and scouts. it is almost
impossible tor the hostiles to cross north
through this section without being in
tercepted by some of these troops.
Scouts in from Howard say the hostiles
have broken in different bands, some
travelling north and some south on the
back track.
THE TROUBLES PROBABLY OVER.
The telegraphic operator at Umatilla,
writing under date of July 18th, says:
" Have Just learned by telegraph from
Walla Walla that Howard will be in
Walla Walla this evening and take the
train from that city to Wallula with his
command, then take boat from that
point and proceed to the head of navi-
CATION on Snake river. The Indians
have evaded the general, and are now
making for the mouth of the Grande
Rounde river. where they expect to
cross the Snake. Capt. Wilkinson, in
command of the patrol-boat Northwest,
has just left here for Long Island about
fifteen miles below here. where some
renegade Indians are suspected of cross
ing horses and plumber. He will re-
turn Immediately after examining the
country about there, and go directly to
Wallula. Our troubles here are proba-
bly, over"
TEXAS AND NIEXICO.
A Galveston special of July 11th,
says Congressman Schleicher, who has
just arrived i'll San Antonio from Wash
ington, says the administration has de-
termined to force peace or war with
Mexico. He says Gen. Ord, who will
return Saturday will bring fresh orders
to invade and occupy the Mexican
border territory until tie Diaz govern
ment guarantees immunity from III
vasion. 1t is believed at headquarters
that the Mexican troops will resent this
and precipitate collision. Schleicher
thinks the situation very grave; all
Texas is ripe for war. He thinks they
alone can raise enough men to whip
them, and that no other government on
earth would allow its people to be
murdered and robbed as they have
been.

THE Orangemen failed to parade in
Montreal on the 10Th of July, as they
declared they would do. The opposi-
ton of the ribbonmen and the city
authorities was more than they could
overcome. If the Orangemen were
permitted to walk" unmolested and
unnoticed for a few years, the practice
would then die of itself. 1t is the op-
position is what keeps life in the whole
subject. The Battle of Boyne, which
this " walk :" is meant to commemorate,
was fought July 1st, mot 12th) 1890, on
the Boyne river, in the east of Ireland,
between James, III, Duke of York, and
William III, Duke of Orange True,
this battle was the end of the struggle
between these kings, but it was not, as
many suppose, the battle which resulted
IN establishing the protestant house of
Hanover over the Roman Catholic
house of Stuart. Two years previously
James III had fled to France, and Parlia-
ment had deposed him and established
William and Mary upon the throne.
James had returned to Ireland early in
1890, and raised an army to make war
on William, but was defeated in this
battle, but he had not been king for
two years and there was little prospect
that he ever would be before this en-
gagement. 1t would seem that 1SS
years ought to have allayed all the
bitterness that was engendered by that
battle.
