A Status Quo.

No matter how the news GIBBS and
flows, the fact remains that Russia
does not exhibit the slightest dis.
position to reccde but is, on the con
trary, steadily strengthening her
hold upon the points he considers
important. When diplomacy finally
exhausts itself-which will bc when
Russia has no further preparations
to make and is quite ready to meet
the shock of England's onslaught
it will appear that she is on the
defensive and that her assaiants

To obviate this difi culty it has been found

The Radical Programme.
Morehonse Clarion.

From what we can gather from
our State exchanges, the Radical
programme in the next campaign
will be about as follows: No State
organization will be effected, but in
the strong Republican parishes full
porochial tickets will be nominated.
In the Democratic parishes no con
tests will be made. In those parishes,
however, which are considered any
ways doubtful, they will place in the
field what they are pleased to call
independent" tickets, which will
lie composed mainly of old, broken
down Radical politicians, with a
good man mixed in now and then
to give it responsibility. The can
didates for Representatives on these
tickets are in every case TO be Rad
icals of the deepest dye, and they
thus hope to elect enough straight
ont Republicans and so,called indie.
