Questions of European Polite.

The cauldron of EuropeaupeliticS
b0iis with It's accustomed feyos but
the evidence Of an immedi2teqAlo~

some prophets Of evil would havy us
believe. The condiCT0G Of AFFAIRS
| on the continent may no aDub5 ba
described as an earned truee.' hv-
| cry large State is burdened With an
immense military establishment,
and each government is constantly
on the watch for the contingency
which may compel il to bring its ar
mics iato the field. Bat there is
nothing novel ia this. Such has
been the state OF things since 1871
to 90 no further back-and that
peace has been for SO many years
preserved in Western Europe may
fairly be taken as an auguFy that
the 'tenison" and nervous strain"
Of which political quidnuucs cons
plain may endure as long again
without the general wan OF which
there are SO many predictions.
Europe, it is said, is divided into
two hostile camps, the one 3ompris
ing Germany, italy, &ervia. Rod
mania. Spain, and perhaps Turkey;
the o6her containing France, Rus-
sia. and certain ofthe semi-iudepen-
dent States OF the Balkan peninsu-
Ia, besides one or more of Au8tria'S
discontinued provinces. Marquis
Tseng is fitting between Paris and
London, and Mr. Gladstone, it Is
observed, is on q visit to Gopenha-
gen, where the Emperor Of Russia
has been for some weeks the guest
of his wife's relatives. Ford DUFF,
ferin has been hurriedly recalled
from his vacation to undertake the
important diplomatic duties which
fall to his lot as the representative
Of Great Britain and ireland atCon-
startinople. The Eastern question,
in fact, is asserted to be ON the
point of being opened, and tbs evils
that are expected TO follow trans
scend in magnitude, if we may trust
current gossip, those that issued
from tho famous box OF Pandora.
Bismarck IS to employ the Chinese

tice the French into a war from
which iC viii issue despoiled of Nice

to be willing to welcome o return to

90 Canton Riot.

The riot at Canton, by which the
houses OF several European mer-
chants were destroyed, is the first
fruit Of the quarrel between France
aud China. The Chinese mob does
not discriminate between European
nationaIities, bUt visits upon En-
glishmen, Germans and AIaericans
the ire excited by tie aggressions
of the French IN Amman. This fact,
which has not been urantcipated
by persons acquainted wish tho con-
dition OF which business is transac4
ted at the treaty ports, has all
along been the ground on which q
disturbance Of the peace III tho East
has been deprecated. England,
which has q larger trade with Chi
nathan all other European powers
put together, very naturally objects
to being made to suffer the loss of
this trade, net only during the time
ie2aen France is bombarding Chinese
cities, but also for years afterwards
until commerce regains its former
volume. She dees not care to be
made the victim Of Frances escas
pades.

The Harvest OF the Northern Hetnis-

pAere.
The Mason B. Estienne, the great
house Of corn merchants at Marseil-
les, hes just issued its annual review
OF the crops Of the northern hemis-
phere for the year 1883, and as the
London Times pouches for the value
OF the information given In their 500
pages OF elaborate reports, it will be
o. interest tc our farmers to learn
what prospects are held out TO them
for o foreign market for their grain
during the coming winter and spring.
The volume contains reports on the
crops Ill sixty countries. For the
first time the importance Of India as
q wheat-producing country is recogs
| nized, aud information in regard to It's
| crops added. AS regards France, tas
king the whole crops Of the country
ia view, it is evident that the harvest
OF 1888 will be ali round a beuntifuI
one. In Great Britain the crop ac-
tually made exceeds the estimates IN
quantity and quality. Wheat viii be
up to the average md barley some 10
| per cent. over. The latest estimate
places the crop at over ten million

IN Italy the wheat crop IS good III

the Turkish provinces on the Danube
are satisfactory. Asia Miner, Syria
and Cytrus have enjoyed haTyests.-
The reports from Russia all agree
chat the season has been everywhere
extremely Favorable for ali the gram
crops, the crop OF barley being the
best eyer grown in the country. u
Germany wheat IS OF good quantity
and quality, and The same may be
said Of oats, barley and rye. Bel

pea and potato crops, but The rye was
not so good. All oyer Spain the har-
vests have beon exceptionally good,
and her exports Of wheat and oats

OF the whole wide area embraced III

tends TO show" says the Times, "that
the harvest year OF 1883-'6A will be
one OF cheap abundance SO far as our
breadstufs are e~oncerned,' Itwould
seem to follow that the comparatively

The Ohio Democrats are busily
engaged in trying to pull the polit,
ical wool oyer the eyes Of the woolA
growers in that State. They are cir
cuiating documents stating that the
Republicans are responsible for the
reduction in the duty on wool and
are printing interviews with some of
the large wool-growers saying that
they are all going to vote against
Foraker. Among the latter, David
Harpster, the largest wool-groweri in
the State, has been included. He en-
phatically denies the statement. how
ever, and says: 80 far as | know
and | know the situation pretty well,
the wool-growers will vote their re
spective tickets, and wait and see
what action Congress takes next

how the reduction was made. Those

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 271sss
THE G FRAUD.

Lr|h .lH a
The biggest fraud now perpetra5ed
uponthe Government is the pension
swindle. Millions of dollars are
paid out of the treasury every year
TO healthy a~bIesbodied men who
claim to be suffering from injuries
received or diseases contracted in
the service. Millions of dollars are
paid to widows whose alleged hus-
bands never smeit gunpoTder on a
battlefield. ARG the end is not
yet. Although nearly twenty years
have elapsed since the close OF the
war, the CROP og new pension claim
ants seems to be as large as ever.
There are 10 less than 10000 attor-
neys, agents, clerks and employees
engaged in drumming up claims OF
this kind. There r many worthy
pensioners. but tie army OF fraudu-
lent pensioners should be driven
away from the treasury. The people
who pay the taxes are interested in
this business. and there should be
q popular demand for the publica-
tien of q list of the pensicnersin eE-
cry state and county. The people
would then know who were fraud
ulently drawing pensions and would
move to have the unworthy claims
disallowed."
The above is from tho MuTrees-
boro News q democratic paper, and
we leave it to those interested TO
judge just how far it's politics is re-
sponsible for it's opinion of the
"swindle' IN pensions. Such dashes
at the pension policy of the Govern
ment are quite common, especially,
in Southern democratic newspapers,
but we don't think they know what
they are talking about. The mag
nltude Of the system and it's pays
ments excites both their ire and
their surprise, and they surrender
to suspicion without Investigating
either the justice oe the system Or
the safeguards with which it is sur-
rounded. We regard the payment
Of pensions to those in anywise dis
abled, according to their disability,
wise as we'll as just. We look upon
the policy as n calculated to
strengthen the government with
the people, not by buying their re-
spect, but by teaching Thorn that it
is powerful to reward as well as to
punish.
We do not believe there is an lis
legal or fraudulent pension paid out
of tie Treasury. There may be ms
Justice sometimes, and often ine-
quality in rating disability; some
may be paid out of proportion to
their real disability, though so far
as our observation extends, and it
has not been slight, the tendency is
to underrate instead Of to oYerrate
the disability, We know Of many
cases where we believe this to be
true and of not one where the disa-
biIity was overrated.
we would not accuse our contem.
porary of denouncing the system
through prejudice, but do think it
has been a little hasty in its Judge
ment. IF it will investigate the
system and study its operations we
are satisfied it will reconsider its
opinion and allow that the system
is too perfect to admit of extensive
abuse, whether Or not it shall think
any better of the policy underlying
the system.
