defensive line of the mountains and
might be held indefinitely by good
troops, for the railroad could reinforce and
supply it from all the country behind down
to Constantinople. But if it be included in
North Bulgaria-be part of that independent
State, and not fortified in Turkish hands
then it would be open to Russia, and its
possession by Russian army would turn
the line of the Balkans by whomsoever held
and would force the defender to fight the
invader in front Of Adrianople. In its
famous bulletin Of triumph the Times re-
ported that this city was to be included in
the southern State and to be retained,
therefore, in Turkish hands In fact. it is
to be included in the northern State, and
all its strategic possibilities are to be seen
in light just contrary to that i'm
piled by what the Times reported.
1t appears, therefore, that of the great
triumph over which the Times and the
London Post gloried SO freely as the results
OF Lord Beaconsfield's backbone at Berlin
not one point remains when both sides OF
the story are heard. England's diplomacy
appears thus brilliantly triumphant only
when chronicled by British correspond
ents inspired, perhaps, by the dip'o-
matis.s themselves. 1t has been already
reported how greatly conservative opinion
in England is disappointed with the Anglo
Russian agreement which became a basis
tor the meeting of the Powers in the Con-
gress, and it has moreover already appeared
by the nature of dispatches from Berlin to
London that the correspondents were fnr-
nished with news of the Congress of kind
likely to throw dust in peoples eyes as to
the value OF that agreement TO England.
Apparently the Times remarkably false
news is the sublimest instance Of this sort
of systematic deception.

The excursion fever promises to rage furi-
ously this summer. The boats went out
with heavy loads on Sunday last, notwith-
standing the threatening appearance Of the
skies in the early morning. and no doubt
the excursionists enjoyed the fresh air TO
the fullest extent But the great rush for
the excursion steamers suggests the i'm
portance Of compelling the proprietors to
obey the law in regard to overcrowding.
An accident to one of these boats with its
large load of pleasure seekers, mostly
women and children, would in nll proba-
bility end in o most heartrending calamity
The officers whose duty it is to see that
these laws are observed have not been dis
tinguished in the past for vigilance and
activity, and if they neglect their duty
to account 1t is alleged that some of tho
boats last Sunday were overcrowded and
that the provisions for saving life in
case of an accident were entirely and abb
surdly Inadequate. Two-thirds Of the peo-
pie who go on such excursions have no idea
OF tho danger they incur, and it is deplor-
able that their lives should be thus jeopar-
died when proper observance Of the laws
would render them comparatively safe.
Our local authorities should adopt meas
ures for the protection of the thousands
who embark on the excursion st GAMERS,
and should take pains to see that the laws
are enforced.

almost as dangerous to leave an unprotected
family in quiet country neighborhood in q
settled State as on border farm in the neigh
borhood of the Bannock Indians. 1t is very
little use to arrest tramp as vagrant. A
short detention is all the discomfort he is
called upon to endure, and he starts out
afresh, probably with disposition to re-
venge himself through the bludgeon or the
torch on those who have caused the incon-
venience. 1t is very we'll to relieve real
distress wherever it exists, whether in city
or country; but the best meal that can be
given to regular tramp is leaden one,
and it should be supplied in sufficient
quantity to satisfy the most voracious appe-
tite.

ST. JAMES THEATRE-cgRvANTEs-A
ENTERTAINMENT.
The magical and dramatic entertainment given lasi
evening ut the ST. James Theatre for the fund which
- being raised Tor tho Cervantes monument &c

audience Tho attendance OF our Spanish and
Spanish American citizens who tVrmcd the bulk Of
the audience would have been greater all the seati
wcre taken, II had not been for the rumored death
OF the Queen Of spain, and the weather. To the
former cause may be attributed the absence OF the
Spanish Minister and the members OF the legation.
Major sanchz opened the evening with a number of
his feats OF presIdigltation and magic which were
received win applause, and which we'll per
formed. The IN the bag, tho watch trick, tho dts
appearing bird cage and the hat this
most appreciated. The second part OF the programme
consisted OF the singing by Nine. Hartz OF song and
aria from Verds aNabuco with piano accom- pa al
ment by Signor Moderate Nine. Harlz, who sang
with good deal OF grace and IN the lower
passages With pleasing EXPRESSION as an encore gave
charming little Spanish sonc which was applaudcd

The meeting Of the socialists of this city
last evening to celebrate the anniversary
of the French Revolution of 1848 was at
tended by nearly one thousand persons, q
large number of when were undoubt-
eddy attracted by curiosity and had
no sympathy whatever with the objects
of the gathering. A majority of
those present were, Of course, foreigners
either Frenchmen or Germans The meet
ing was orderly and the speeches, rs a rule.
were comparatively temperate in tone.
There was, of course, q good deal about the
rights of labor and the tyranny of capital
and all that sort of thing, which is COM
paratively harmless and answers itself
The socialists have perfect right to
meet and discuss the labor question, tho
French Revolution of 1S48 or any other
revolution. Free speech is at the corner
stone of our institutions, and it cannot be
denied to the socialists or to any other
class of our people, provided they do not
violate the law. Neither the resolutions
adopted last evening nor tho speeches
that were made give very clear
idea of what the socialists really
want. A decree of the provisional gov
eminent is quoted in regard to education.
Surely there can be no ground Of complaint
in that respect here. Again, standing armies
are denounced. Well, we have no stand
ing army that MS compared with those of
Europe is worth the name. While our mill
tary resources are greater than almost
any two of the first class Powers in
Europe we are almost untaxed In
that respect. The union of Church and
State is condemned. No union exists here,
nor is it likely that one ever will exist. The
socialists endeavor to draw n parallel be-
tween the c,ndition Of the workingmen in
Paris in 1913 and Of the workingmen
in this country to-day. There IN not
shadow of resemblance between the two
cases. Land is free, labor is free. speech is
free, education is free. The socialists will
make little Roadway among the intelligent
American workingmen. Their theories IRE
in every respect un-American. They may
do in Europe, where the whole fabric of So
ciety is different, but they can never obtain
foothold here.
