and give him a popularity like that
of fiddIing Nero in Rome. The London
Spectator said recently :-"England Is
crushed with responsibilities; she is loaded
with provinces like savage beauty with
metal ornaments" That authority went
on to show how the present government
has absorbed the Fiji Islands. whole
group larger than the British West Indies ;
the Transvaal, half as large as France ; the
Suleimann range, say three Pyrenees,
and Cyprus, not TO speak of the pro-
tectorate she has claimed in Asia Minor"
The Spectator was of the opinion-in which
we all must agree-that England has
habit of eating provinces SO fast that she
has no time to digest them and, further,
that to attempt the conquest of Burmah
would be folly, ''and folly.of the kind for
which the Empire would have to pay for
generations. This was sensible advice,
but We doubt whether it would have been
accepted, or really taken into earnest con-
sideration, but for the murder of Cavagnari

The Race for the Belt.

The latest contest for the Ashley belt
promises to exceed in interest any that has
preceded it. This is due partly to the un-
usual number Of the contestants, but
largely to the evident increase of the pub
lie intelligence about matters pedestrian.
The crowds which Witnessed the Campana-
O'Leary walk and the great struggle of
last spring were largely drawn from
the rougher classes, but in the immense
audience which had filled the garden by
midnight on Sunday there was an unex-
pected and gratifying preponderance of in
telligent, respectable people, As whole
it was remarkably orderly, quiet audience.
There were scme deafening cheers raised, but
only for good cause, while the helpless won-
derings peculiar to previous races gave place
largely to intelligent interchanges of opinion
upon the condition and style of each indi-
vidual walker. The failure of butcher was
surprise to nearly every one who beheld
the mans fine figure and carriage, but
scarcely any one is qualified to suspect the
existence OF the organic trouble which COM
PEELED this fine fellow to leave the trnck.
The spectators in general proved more
accurate than the betting men in their
estimates of the walkers, the changing of
the odds on Weston, Rowell and Ennis
being prophesied by hundreds if not thou
sands, before the sporting fraternity real
lied what was happening. Rowell's record
for the first twenty-four hours, although.
not quite equal to the remarkable time made
by hazael in London last spring, shows
decided improvement in Rowell himself,
which means that the bcst men against
him, Weston excepted, are going to be

England ana King Thcebau.

England does not want to have her repre-
sentatives in the Burmese capital slaugh-
tered as were the gallant Cavagnari and his
her acting Resident to leave King Thee
baus capital with as little delay and show
of fear as possible under the circumstances.
If England were wise, especially just
now when Cabul will occupy her full atten-
ton, she would permit King Theebau to
go on getting drunk and numbering men,
bers of his royal family till Doomsday.
England has no good cause for war with
Burmah unless she really wants to make
one out of King Theebau's claim of SOW
eregnty over o portion Of the Karennee
country. After the war of 1852 the inde-
pendence of this territory was respected by
both England and Burmah. In 1875 the
Burmese King laid claim to the western
portion of the country, which, however, he
finally gave up; now he claims the
eastern half, the independence of which
England wishes to maintain. England
has acquired the whole of the Bur-
mese seaboard by successive conquests.
King Theebau has apparently lucid in
tervals, and in these he very sensibly
thinks that England's need will be Bur-
mah's opportunity to get possession of
her own again. Before the Cabul massacre
English journals were urging dire chastise-
ment upon Theebau and the annexation Of
his country. Now, however, more prudent
counsels prevail, and England herself re-
moves what might become the cause Of
conflict at any moment. England has
really no business to interfere in the inter-
nal affairs of the country, and we con we'll
believe that the Burmese we're delighted

rising into prosperity at the very
time when British industry is at the
lowest point of depression, and there
is always room for new corners in a
country whose industries are expanding.
However large may be the tide of British
immigration to this country we can absorb
it and utilize it without any arrangement
of the channels of business. Our capacity
for expansion is unlimited, and we shall

become incorporated in the body of our

The Burning OF Kiev.

If nihilism has no better argument to
offer in its behalf than that of burning houses
and widespread desolation we should
think its insensate gospel of destruction
would find few followers. The story that
comes by cable of the burning of the city of
Kiev, the wretches firing it in seven places
at once during night of storm, is q
distressing picture of fanaticism run
staring mad. Cities inhabited by Rus
slams like themselves are fired as though
they were the camp of an enemy. But
the nihilist does not mince matters. His
creed is that society is his enemy, and he
puts the torch to it wherever he can.
Society does right in crushing these vipers
wherever found.

The Clergy and the Press.

It is quite possible that a man might be
clergyman and not have clear idea Of the
usefulness, power or reach of the secular
ing, distributor of heavenly mamma of
fair scattering capacity, and yet not know
the difference between the effect of an
article in great daily and the same
article in little sectarian sheet. Such man
might exist, but we have not met him. We
have known great many clergymen of
various denominations, and we have not
yet met one who was not alive to the bene-
fits mankind would derive from seeing his
sermon reported in the HERALD. But
in time even ministers, at first content
with mere mention, become fastidious.
They would like to be allowed to
say when they should and should not be re-
ported. On this point they are not safe
judges: we are. One clergyman complained
yesterday that religious men were not sent
to reportN religious services, conferences,
trials and 80 on. The touching modesty
of the workers in journalism whose devo-
ton to their task precludes violent relig-
ious display deserves a juster recognition
than this. They are censured for reporting
the scandalous remarks dropped, alasl too
often in clerical assemblies. This is sad
confession. Why should the most religious
of reporters be called on to judge these
teachers of the people? 1t is the re-
porter's business to tell the truth,
and he generally does his duty.
1t is out of this fact that all the opposition
to reporting grows. The clergy are all
really at one regarding the moral tendency
and moral power Of the press. It did
not surprise us to learn that so
many sounding praises of the news
paper were uttered at. the Baptist
Ministers Conference, and among others
by gentleman who said he had received
''very rough handling from the HERALD" in
his time. If clergymen were all that the
HERALD wishes them to be there would be
no trough handling" of them, but tender,
dainty manipulation instead. We congrat-
ulate the Baptist brethren on their near
approach to perfection in their attitude
toward the press.

General Grant in San Francisco.

Had General Grant arrived from his ex-
tensive foreign tour in one OF our great
Atlantic cities, instead of the chief Ameri-
can city on the Pacific coast, he would no
doubt have been greeted with splendid
welcome like that which he has received
in the patriotic city of San Fran
cisco. But on the Atlantic coast it
would have had no more political
significance than on the coast of the
Pacifc-that is to say, none at all The
brilliant ovation at San Francisco is merely
tribute to the man, and has no political
significance The whole body Of General
Grants countrymen recognizes his great
services in the war for the preservation Of
the Union, and rejoices in the honors be-
slowed upon him in foreign lands. 1t
is because they are convinced that he has
no further aspirations for the Presidency
that they SO freely join in hearty welcome
to the returning citizen. General Grant
may rely with the most perfect security on
the love and veneration Of his countrymen
SO long as they are convinced that he stands
aloof from politics and regards himself in
no other light than that of simple Ameri-
can citizen. 1t would be great shock to
the patriotism of the American people if
this admired and illustrious citizen should
exhibit craving for political position.
He could not commit greater mistake than
to degrade his great and peerless
position as the first citizen of the
Republic by consenting to be vulgar can
didate for Office. He holds position to
which no Office can add dignity, and we are
confident that he will not again commit
his great and peerless reputation to the
license and blackguardism of political con-
troversy. He stands immeasurably above
the low strife of factions, and cannot con-
sistently descend into the political arena.
Having become great historical character.
and standing on the same elevated level
with Washington. he is precluded by every
moral and patriotic consideration from
again exposing his character to the political
attacks of heated partisans.

The WEATuER.-The meteorological condi-
tions arc becoming somewhat complicated in
the central valleys and westward to the Rocky
Mountains on account of the slow motion of the
depression that advanced from the northwest
on the 21st, and the northward movement of
the zone of low barometer that overlics the Gulf
Of Mexico. The pressure is highest over the
New England States but it is decreasing
slowly as the influence of the Western de-
preston is beginning to make itself felt.
Rain fell on the South, Middle Atlantic
and New England coasts and in the
upper lake regions. The weather in the other
sections of the country was generally cloudy.
The temperature continues nearly the same in

slightly In the lake regions and fallen elsewhere.
