The chief point at issue between
England AMI Russia is thus stated by
the London Times: ut is the partition
of Turkey that Russia desires now /;
it was the partition of Turkey that
she desired at the time of the Crimean
war. Against such policy we con-
tended then and are contending now. !"
The Times does not seem to think it
proper for England to suggest a
scheme for the adjustment of this diff
ference. On this point it declares:
1T would be futile and inconsistent
with our position to propose any
scheme until the main principle Of
European control has been conceded,
without which no scheme could acquire
validity or sanction"

with which to refund an equel amount
Of 8 per cent. bonds. The election is to
take place May II. The credit of
the town is first-rate-so good in fact
that it ought not to pay over 6 per
cent. on its debts. The saving by the
proposed refunding would be $500 a
year. Some time ago the county
court of Boone county submitted to
the people similar proposition-that
of refunding its $500. 600 bonds, now
bearing 8 per cent. interest. in other
bonds bearing 6 per cent. The saw.

pie took little interest in the matter.
and the proposition failed through a

adopted. Boone county is too sound,

be re-submitted to the people at the

The leap into Niagara's .oaming cat
aract has again been made. and an
other man added to the long list of
men who have sought death in the
roaring torrent. Guides never tire of
telling of disappointed men and heart
broken women who have flung them
selves into the rapids, to rise again n"
more. There is fascination about
the falls that tempts many a strong
minded person to make the terrible
leap. Moreover. this method ofsui-
eide is SO tragic, SO absolutely certain,
so mock-heroic-if the term may he
applied to self-destruction-that the
details are always interesting.

st. Louis Times: The news from
England could not read more warIike
if an actual state of war existed. The
recent development of preparations by
Russia on the Black Sea, in the neigh
borhood Of Constantinople and on the
Sea of Marmora, has doubtless
aroused the British Cabinet to these
extraordinary proceedings. Still, they
lack justification in the eyes of the
world. England, being isolated as 20
territory and without immediate inter
ests, except in common with the bal
anee of Europe, in the countries af-
fected by Russia's success in the late
war, cannot justify her war prepara-
tons without satisfaction to the bal
ance of the Powers.

This from the New York .Sm is
rather "sourkastic." 1.-The Supreme
Court of the State coming to the res
cue of victimized taxpayer, is the
heading of an article in the st. Louis
Times. The "vic!imized taxpayer"
are the residents of number of towns
in Missouri who obtained money from
other people by the sale of town bonds,
used the money. and now don't want
to pay the bondholders. The Supreme
Court of the State has come to the
rescue Of the: debt-shirkers by pro-
nouncing the act under authority of
which the bonds were issued unconsti-
tutional. Hence the triumphant head
lines in the st Louis paper.

The House has taken up the legis-
latlve. judicial and executive appro-

this year is sl4, 735, 600 which is about
1852 900 less than in 1915. and S714,-
900 less than IN 1877. 1t is less than

the Forty-third Congress by $780,

Mr.. Atkins, chairman of the commit

committee had tried to eliminate ali
superfluous officers from the service.
He declared the House must either
restrict the expenditures Of the gov.
eminent within its revenues or increase
taxation. 1t is not difficult to mag

Russia cannot raise loan in Berlin.
Some of the London newspapers ex-
press dissatisfaction with the shilly-
sh:lly policy of Austria. The Russian
official organs allege that Russia is
willing to accept the broadest possible
basis for the programme of Congress.
There is some apprehension of Russian
privateering, IN British shipping cir
cles, and continental merchants are
refusing to consign their goods on YES
sells under the British flag. From the
east Indies We learn that native troops
in the British service are arriving dali

Europe and employed against Russia
in event of war.

BY an official statement it is shown
that the decline of the American mer-
camille marine began half century
ago, and though accelerated and aug
mented by the civil war, it is not
doubted that had peace prevailed from
1861 to 1855 the shipbuilding interest
would not have been much better in
condition to-day. 1t is suggested by
some that the principal cause of our
weakness in the ocean carrying trade
Is due to the wonderful increase in the
stelm marine of Britain. The vessels
built on the Clyde, of iron, being
swift and safe, have taken the places
of hundreds of our slow wooden sail
ing crafts, and have thus put our ma
rine architecture out of reach of trade.
This decline continued under law and
high tariffs, and has never been
checked until recently, when the
Delaware has been transformed into
the "Clyde of America" and we are
launching at Chester and Philadel-
phia iron and steel steamships superior
to any afoat. We now rival in this
kind Of ship construction with the
British, and a year or two hence We
shall be able to boastof the best iron
steam mercantile marine on the ocean.
That is our goal, and if our ship
builders are encouraged as they should
be it will soon be reached.

Speaking Of Senator Cockrelrs wal
claims bill, the Republican says: Sen.
ator Cockrell goes to work in a straight.
forward, business-like way to secure an
adjustment of the war claims of his
State against the general government.
His bill, passed by the Senate, Mon
day. does not make an appropriation
for the payment of these claims; it
merely provides that the secretary of
the treasury shall examine them and
ascertain whether they are just or not,
and report to Congress, from time to
time, the result of his examinations.
The claims in question are founded on
the action of the State in furnishing
men and supplies to the Union armies
during the war for which no payment
has ever been received from the gov
eminent. The theory of Senator
Cockrell's bill is that If the secretary
Of the treasury finds the claims to be
just be will 80 report to congress, and
that body will feel bound to make pro-
vision for paying them. There has
been a great deal Of fraud attempted
in connection with these claims, but
the bulk of them are just. Adjt.-
Gen. Bingham fearlessly exposed the
frauds three years ago. and thereby
gave a guaranty of the States up-
right course in business. It will be
an easy matter to sift out the fraudu.
lent claims from the honest ones; in
deed it is not probable the former will
ever be presented after the merciless
exposure they received from Gen.
Bingham. But the honest ones ought
to Be paid, and Senator CockrelIs bin |
is the first step towards having it done. |
