We fail to see that the democrats

We fail to see that tue democrats
can accomplish much by their invest
igation of tie alleged election fraud
in Florida. OF course they hope to
make little capital for use in the com
ing political campaign, but as the
country will understand that their in
vestigation is a mere partisan affair
it cannot have much effect upon public
opinion. The democrats have decided
that there shall be no investigation Of
the election frauds in other states for
which they are known to be directly
responsible; therefore, by preventing
q fair inquiry they hurt nobody but
themselves. Neither can we see how
their proceedings can effect the val
idity Of The presidents title. They
cannot secure his impeachment with
out the aid Of republican votes, as it
requires q two-thirds vote to accom-
plish that result. The only damag-
ing effect the Investigation can have
will be upon the business interests OF
the country, and to delay the full res
toration of confidence between the Sec

Recent occurrences in India show
the extent to which the English rulers
exert their authority in that country,
while they indicate a danger which
must ever be guarded against. The
great Temple Of Juggernauth has sheen
in tie care Of the Rajah Of Khurdah,
who holds the hereditary Office Of Puri
in Orissa. The young man lately en-
joying this trust, was in the eyes Of
millions of Hihdoos, the incarna-
ton Of the god Vishnoo, and for that
reason, ten thousand times more sa-
cred than because he is successor OF
the line of kings that once ruled all
over India. Believing that he was the
victim Of sorcery, the Rajb induced q
holy mandicant whom be charged With
sorcery, to enter his palace and with
the aid Of attendants, he subjected the
man, to tortures that caused his death.

A distressing circumstance connect

in England is the fact that quite II

moned to the service OF the Govern
ment have left their families entirely
unp"Ovided for. and in condition Of
such great want rs to throw them up
on the parish authorities for support

only alternative which many OF them

heads Of families, and then to consign
these families to the workhouse, in
compaLionship with the idle and
criminal classes, is policy scarcely
worthy ofa great, humane and wealthy
nation. The Government is strug-
Cling with the problem, though as yet
with no further result than to make
the petty allowance from the War Of

For the first time in nine weeks She
news from Ell ,ope has the true ring of
peace. The deadlock which has
puzzled and harassed the world is brok-
en- at last. The issue was drawn SO
sharply that both the triumph ard
the discontinue are Hndeniable. On
March is Prince Gortchakoh declared
to Lord Lotus that Russia would de
.eline to discuss the treaty Of San Ste
fano in the congress except as to
clauses which affected Eurore N in
tercsts. On March n Lord Derby in
formed Count SchonvaIoff that the
British Government could not recede
from the position which they had TAX
Ell. They must insistapon their stipu
lation that every article in the treaty
should be placed before the congress
On March 26, Count Sci ouvalof re-
piled that the Imperial Cabinet also
refused to modify its declaration.
Thus, nine weeks ago, the two en-
pires locked horns. and from that mo-
lnent the nations Of Euro e aud Asia
have stood breathless beside the arena
in doubt as to Which, il either, of the
combatants would yield the disputed
ground without bloody struggle.
From the outset the bearing of the an
tagonists has presented 9 conspicuous
contrast. England has held her posi-
ton quietly, but very firmly, with ever
growing reliance upon her own
strength and incessant preparation to
employ to the utmost, Russia, on the
other hand, has been SO wild in her
projects, so bemused in her policy,
that she has made surprising spec
tacle of herself. Her diplomacy,
which once took the highest rank for
,astuteness, has become the laughing
stock Of the embassies. At first toe
RussiaGs could hardly believe that
England was in earnest. They fell

It.is "athar curious fact that both

should be opposed 10 the vaccination
law. AT q public anti-vaccinaton
meeting held at Manchester the other
day, q letter was read from Mr.,
Bright, rcgretting that Palliament
had made vaccination compulso'y,
and in q previous letter he said, The

The Stewart Women's Hotel having
failed as to its original purport, it is
now being changed at q cost OF $50
coo to general hotel. Judge Hilton
declared that that the women will not
live apart from the men, and he tried
to so impress the late Mr.. Stewart.
Notwithstanding all the advantages
and luXuries Of this magnificent home,
only 30 working women awaited them
selves Of its benefits. Its rules were
too strict, and its guests were few.
Those able to pay the prices asked
for board could secure elsewhere the
accommodations desired, with larger
liberty. 1t seems to have been run
on the principle that women had nc
rights, and are entitled to none, Sc
the great enterprise which promised
SO much to women, will accomplish
another and different purpose.
