WHAT are the Democrats of the
House afraid of, that they refuse to ex-
tend the proposed electoral investiga-
tion to Oregon, Mississippi and other
statesp The Republicans are willing
to have Florida and Louisiana fully
investigated, but insist that the inves-
tigation shall take the widest possible
range, SO that all frauds and question
able facts in connection with the Presi-
DENTAL election, in any part of the
country, may be inquired into. The
fact that the Democrats are fighting
against this fair and reasonable propo-
sition, proves that they are afraid of
something. What is itp

London May 21.-The reaction from
the optionist views of last week, is
stimulated by facts which are daily be-
coming known concerning the Russian
movements before Csnstantinople.
Though these are stated to have been
made for sanitary reasons, they came
near precipitating collision. The
Russian line at one time pushed SO
near the Turkish works that the latter
were manned and ammunition served
out, and Gen. Valentine Baker sent an
aid de camp to notify the Russian COM
mander that he would fire on him if he
did not withdraw. The effect has been
to direct the attention Of the Turks to
the comparatively weak state of that
portion Of their line, which covers the
Black Sea entrance to the Bosphorus,
which the Russians naturally desire to
secure in case Of hostilities. The Turks
are therefore taking precautions In that
direction.

THE Fenlan agitation in Canada is
explained to be design to prevent a
contingent military force being raised
In the Dominion for service abroad in
the event Of an ANGLO Russian war.
With, Russian war vessels on her sea-
coast, and the Fenians on her frontier,
1t is thought that Canada will need all
her soldiers to look after her defense,
without going abroad to fight Russians.
The movement among the Canadians
living in the United States, to form
themselves into a reserve force in the
service Of the Canadian Government, in
case Of their being needed, is hailed
with much satisfaction by the Canadi-
ans at home.

sTHE attack which the Democrats
have made upon the Presidents title
cannot fail to operate immensely to the
advantage of the Republican party. As
it betrays the spirit of the Democracy,
it will deeply and thoroughly impress
all Republicans with sense of the dam
gers that are threatened from complete
Democratic supremacy. 1t will awaken
all to q realization of the necessity Of
securing Republican victory next
fall. And these better and stronger
feelings will drive out all personal spites
and factional enmities, and thus bring
the old party together once more united
and harmonious.

more recently of San Francisco, from
