Thirty years hence, English for

soil. Lord Kimberley, weakly, as
we confess we thought, at last threw
the whole responsibility upon them,
only explaining that they could hope
for no assistance from the Queens
roops The ministry thus left tree,
but responsible, have explained to
Parliament that three courses are
open to them,-to abandon Basuto-
land, to sub ugate the Basutos by a
determined war, and to repeal the
Disarmament Act, the Basuto gr!e-
vance. The Premier proposed the
last, as the least expensive, and the
proposal will, it is believed, be accept
ed, and the Basutos, who have al
ways been loyal, will remain arm
ed. This is far the best solution
and a remarkable instance of the
way political Judgment increases
with responsibility. Had the moth
er-country had TO find the troops, the
Basuto lands would have looked
much more tempting.

Colonel Burnaby's balloon voyage
to France ended successfully yester-
day week, the balloonist descending
in a meadow near the Chateau dc
Montigney, in Normandy, after an
eight hours voyage. The adventure
showed great pluck, and SO far as we
can see, nothing else. Except SO
far as Colonel Burnaby wished to
increase an already sufficiently-estab-
lished reputation for ~audacity, he
gained nothing in the world by his
voyage, and had only the right to
speak of the current of air which
sprang up to wait him from the
Channel to France as "providential,
on the general ground that every
thing which is not determined by
mans Will, must be determined by
the will of the Creator. That Pro
%yidence," however, is intent on al
ways saving the lives Of rash adven-
turers, who cannot even hope to
advance any human interest by their
risk, is assuredly not i n the least
true.

not be over-represented, as the Tory
minority is now?
The news from Ireland is still dis
astrous. Not only do outrages CON
tinue without the attacked tenants
making any fight for themselves, but
a landlord has been shot dead. Mr..
T. E Herbert, j. P. for Kerry, was
returning home from attending Petty
Sessions on Thursday, when he was
shot about two miles from his
own house, with a rife-ball. The
only cause as yet assigned, is that
MI. Herbert had "shown a great
deal Of feeling" against the land agl-
tation, but there was, probably, some
more definite agrarian complaint
against him. Whatever the reason,
the ~agitators could have done nothing
worse for their cause. 1t is simply
impossible to obtain even a hearing
for the tenants view of arrears, or of
their rights, while their sympathizers
punish the assertion Of the rights OF
landlords by assassination. Such
acts involve the miserable with the
guilty, in popular opinion, in the
same stain of crime. They are not,
of course, in themselves, worse than
outrages on tenants but they make
far more impression on English opin-
ion, and not unjustly. A landlord
who evicts cannot even be accused
of being faithless to his class. He is
within his right, even from the Land
League point of view, which con
dennis, not him, but the farmer who
accepts a farm on which an eviction
has occurred. e
It is nearly impossible to form an
opinion on the true relations Of Ger
many and Russia, but we are bound
to record that the Gar is evidently
exerting himself strongly to maintain
peace. He has entrusted the Grand
Duke Vladimir with some message to
Vienna, which, if it only refers to a
future meeting of the Emperors, is
conciliatory, and has absolutely for
hidden further intrigues i'll the Bal
kans. The Russian Consul at Sophia,
NJ. Hitrovo, is said to have conveyed
this message to all Bulgarians in
unmistakable terms. The Germans
themselves acknowledge a decided
change of tone in the Russian capital,
but say that this does not release
them from alarm, because, in the
absence of war, they hold revolu-
ton to be unavoidable. There are
SYMPTOMS OF revolution in Rus
STA, no doubt, but the Germans
forget how powerless an educated
class is when superimposed or a huge
mass like the Russian peasantry.
They have, as yet, given no serious
sign of even wishing for a great
change.

One Of the greatest difficulties in

find regiments tor colonial service,

service. The men detest the life,
and have none of the feeling that they
are defending the country. The
Dutch have long since been compel
led to recognise this truth, and now
the French are recognising it. They

Almost n Hanging

On Thursday evening, as policeman
was making his accustomed rounds in the
upper part of the city, his attention was
called to a man who was leaning up
againsta fence in an apparently helpless
condition. When.he approached the man
he saw that his head was caught in the
pickets in such manner that he could
not extrieate himself and was choking
fast. The man was intoxicated and lean
ed against the fence to rest, and as he
nodded his knees gave way and after that
refused to perform their functions when
his neck got caught. Had the man not
been found at the time he was, he would
certainly have choked to death, as he )uld
not stay in that position halt an hour
longer and be alive. He was taken to the
calaboose and locked up TO sober him of
For the attention given him he will labor
for the city for short while.

n SERIOUS FALL.
Precipitated "a Distance of
Twenty-three Feet Upon
the Rocks.

In the construction OF the Texas and
st, Louis railway company's bridge
across the Brazos at Waco, one of the
handsomest pieces of engineering skill
in the south west, not to speak OF nu-
merOus other contracts executed bv
that company, they have been most for
tunate in getting through without en-
dangering life or limb to any great de
gree. Accidents do and we presume
will however always occur on such work
regardless of the caution which superin-
tendents and toremen exercise them
selves and insist upon on the part Of
those under them. The most serious

has had since they have had force at

4 HAD ARRANGEMENT.
How waco Freight and Wall
Facilities Compare with
Other Places.

For some time past we have heard much
complaining about freight and mail facili-
ties between points along the Missouri
Pacific south of here, over the Santa Re
north, and ut Bolton. Business men say
that it is impossible to get mail or freight
in any reasonable time, and they are very
much annoyed for this reason. AT such
places as Moody, Banks, Crawford, Val
lev Mills, Clifton and Meridian the mer-
chants inform rs that when they order
goods here and ship by rail, it takes from
tour to eight days TO get them around to
Tempe and then over the Santa Fe. The
trouble seems to be i'll the very bad con-
ncctiOns made at Temple and the neces-
sity OF transfer. People at the same points
inform us that they get letter and paper
mail sometimes four or five days old, and
these DELAYS have giycn thGm so much
trouble that they have been compelled to
send thoil favOrS TO Fort Worth and Dal-
las, from which points they get goods in
from one TO three days. The merchants
OF those places are anxious TO give Waco
at least portion of their trade, but with
the poor taclli les for getting goods they
have 10 90 else vherSe. No through trains
being run on the Missouri Pacific below

two roads, and freight trans
ters made quicker and closer, those peo-
pie would not have so much cause tor
