TIE CHINESE ADHANCE.

There is reason to believe that the Chinese
troops have crossed the 1onquin frontier and
are marching toward tho towns in the delta
which are fecby gariis0ned by the French
forces. Even il the current reports regarding
the passage of the frontier are premature, it is
evident that the war patty III Pekin il dominant
and that an army is concentrating for agrees
sive operations. While the French commander
has made a successful demonstration in the di-
rection of Hue, the capital of Anam, and sue
ceeded in setting up aroyal puppet there and
negotiating treaty, he has not materially i'm
proved his position in Tonquin. His forces
have not penetrated the interior, but are barely
able to hold their ground in Hanoi, the capital,
aud in three other lawns in the delta. If the
Anamites and the Black Flags are now rein
forced 10y the Chinese regiments, the French
may suddenly find their position unreliable
and the conquest of Tonqun most hazardous
and costly enterprise. 1t is a singular proof of
the recklessness with which the Republic has
entered upon career of adventure in tie East
that the Ministry and their military and diplo-
matte agents have persstently blinded them
selves to the risks of war with China.
The Chinese Government is asked to Sane
ton treaty by which France will acquire Dip
lomatic asctndancy in Hue, where her repre-
sentative will possess as much influence as the

Level-headed men are not greatly impressed

No party ever won n substantial victory simply
by passionate and reiterated confession OF the
alleged sins of its opponent. New-York Is the
worst State in the Union for Democrats to en-
deavor to succeed by the employment of such
policy. Our political history is vindication
of Republlcanism, even as it is an indictment
of Democracy. The present Republican State
officers, in meeting the best expectations Of the
best citizens, have merely done as their Re-
publican predecessors, as II rule, have done.
Nev-YOrk has greatly prospered under Repub-
lean administration. 1t has gwen us low
taxes, canal reform, prison reform. 1t is to DO
credited with the law providing for the taxa
ton of corporations under which millions OF
dollars are paid into the treasury. When
Democrats controlled oil branches OF the
Government the taxes were the highest.
When the electors come to the ballot-box In
November they will come remembering these
and related facts; they will come asking the
questions We have asked and related questions.
The logical consequence will he a Democratic
defeat. Whether we look at its general
character or limit our view to the reputation
it has made during the last year, Democracy is
richly entitled to he sent to the rear.

A FEW QUESTIONS FOR NEW. YORK DEMOC.


Suppose you achieve Harmony with large ii

brand of snuff that John Kelly furnishes and
by sedulously sneezing every time lie engages
in that exercise-wbat shall it profit you
Does harmony there mean success at the polls
Do you suppose that Mr.. Kelly is sufficient of
an athlete to hold the party up by the tail all
through the campaignf Broad indeed is the
back of Johu, but think you ii is broad enc ugh
to hide from the view Ct the voters the reputa-
ton for incompetency, inefliciency and worse
made by the Democracy during tho year? Can
it hide, for example, the Governors veto of
one-balf of Democratic supply bill Z Are you
foolish enough to imagine that your inane and
desperate cry, Turn the rascals out" will in-

The National Green hackers of this State are
the first to take the field with State ticket.
The gentlemen nominated are all respectable
and all old enough to know better than TO
lend themselves to political party That Is SO
deseryedly weak. The GreenUack hereSy long
ago lost its power to accomplish harm, and the
marty itself would have been quiet in its
grave years before this, had it not been that Il
few selfish and designing men had come to
regard it as the life preservcr OF their own I'M
portance.
The Roumanian Premier has been coseted
with the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Aus
tria and liunga and is now reported as jour
neying to Prince Bismarck's midsummer resi-
dence to receive full credentials for his Gov
srnment AS mem er OF the Continental ALI
snce. Since the war of 1877 the Danubian
Kingdom has swerved from its allegiance to
the fortunes OF the Car and been guided in It's
diplomacy from Vienna rather than from 81.
Petersburg Servia likewise has accepted adj
vice from the same source. Bulgaria and Mon
tenegro are distinctively Russian in their SYM
pathies, but Austrian influence has galned ad.
ditional weight even with them. The Prince
of Bulgaria after overriding the fundamental
law decreed by constituent assembly has
now appointed commission to frame eOnsli-
tuition for his subjects. fhe original coup
d'etat may have been Russian suggestion, but
the present proposal must have been recon-
mended at Vieupa. The Russian court has not
evInced any disposition to promote constitu.
tonsl studies.
The Coroner's inquest has thrown no ligb.
thus far on the causes of the explosion of The
kiverdale's boiler. Mr.. Day, who inspected the
hull, was sure that the boilers were sound, or
they could not have done such execution,
sWeak boilers would merely have given way,r
he says. 1t is TO be hoped that the rule that the
destructiveness of the explosion is ia direct
proportion to the soundness Of the boiler may
not prove universal, as it might tend to dis
courage the use of sound boilers, and SO lead to
more frequent, even if more feeble, explosions.
Mr.. caldwell, who inspected the boilers said
they were sound, and fully satisfied his tests. His
only surmise as to the cause of the explosion
was that the heat from the boilers, which sat
low in the boat, might have caused the bge-
water to rise 10 vapor, corroding the bottom
of the boiler. This process, once begun, would
be rapid. Captain Smith, OF the Rveriale was
