EVERY PROSPECT PLEAsEs.

Advices from Europe show that the pro-
visions of the treaty of Berlin are being
quietly acquiesced in by the people of all the
nations interested, and that almost the only
disaffection That exists is that among the
Italian agitators headed by those chronic dis
turbers of the peace, the Garibaldis. The
Russian government by ukase has abolished
the state of siege and revoked the extraordi-
nary powers vested in the military in and
around Belgrade. They have also an
nounced the probable departure from Tur-
key, within six weeks, of large portion of
their troops, and that the remainder will at
once retire to eastern Roumelia as provided
by the treaty. Turkey, in the meantime, is
evacuating Varna and Shumla, and with
drawing her forces from other points that
have been either coded to Russia or granted
autonomy. Some dissatisfaction with Rus
sia's course is expressed in Servia, where she
is accused of abandoning her allies. But as
this seeming abandonment is compulsory, it
is not at all probable that the dissatisfaction
will be permanent or widespread. There
will be time and opportunity enough for
Servia and Russia to form an alliance both
offensive and defensive, if they shall be SO
inclined, after affairs have been settled.
The occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
by Austria meets with little opposition.
The Mohammedans in one or two sections
threaten to resist, but when they under
stand that they will be protected in
their religious beliefs and ordinances,
this opposition will vanish. The
people of these provinces as whole will
have good reoson to be thankful for the
change of dynasty, for they have been as
sured of greater civil and religious liberty
than they have ever heretofore enjoyed.
Under Austrian rule they may expect to ex-
perience revival of industry and commerce
that will place them in proud and pros
porous position.
The policy of England towards Cyprns
has already begun to develop, and the island
is feeling the stimulus of the new order Of
things. The governor. Sir Garnet Wolseley
has decided upon the division of the is]anc
into districts, and will at once set to work tt
settle the long contested questions affecting
the ownership of the lands. British CAPT
talists are focking there to find investments
and large emigration from Egypt has SCI
in. Ere year has passed we may expect tt
see the introduction of some substantial re
forms which will place Cyprus on the roae
! to brilliant commercial future.
] Altogether the outlook in Europe is mos
peaceful. The few disturbances that Occur
are purely local, and are not more serious
than might be expected as a result of th'
reorganization of so large territory ant
the settlement of so many conflicting in
terests. The changes rendered necessar.
are being made quietly and with due regart
to the wishes of the various peoples affected
by them. The only dispute that at presen
seems likely to cause serious bloodshed j
that between Greece and Turkey over tn
right of possession of Crete and Thessaly
But Turkey has shown disposition to avoi
conflict by offering to negotiate for tn
surrender of these provinces in considers
ton of money indemnity. To this propc
sition Greece cannot very we'll object, an
she may by this means acquire oil she de
sires-all she has fought for so savagel
during the past year and half. The pros
pect is everywhere pacific, and we may re
gard the present as the dawn of long-co1
tinued peace on the Eastern hemisphere.
