A War Cloud.

Russia appears to consider the time
propitious for reOpening the Eastern
question, and is causing great uneasi-
ness in Germany and Austria by con-
csntrating military force on the Bul.
garian frontier. The situation of Boil
garla is neither satisfactory to Bulgaria
nor to Russia, and that will be the point
where the difficulty will originate,
Though the real cause of the menace NAV
lie deeper. 1t is quite possible that the
Gar may want war to unite his peo-
pie In great enthusiasm. The triple
alliance of Germany, Austria aud Italy
Is by Russians considered hostile to
Russia, and the billings and cooings of
the monarchs of these three states have
been Irritating to the Gar. In point of
fact, all three have reason to dread a
war, particularly one which would arise
out of San idea" like the Eastern ques-
tion. There are troubles at home, and
such war would be very unpopular in
NN' @iJ anu AuoIlld- MOTeOfeI, OeT-
many may we'll fear that if she gets
ln;o severe tug with Russia and has
her haudS quite full, France might take
Il favorable opportunity for avenging
Sedan and recovering Alsace and Lor-
raine. If Italy has any expectation of
retaking Nice and Savoy the must FORE
go such hopes should the Eastern ques-
tion he opened. Now that England has
Il Liberal ministry and Egypt on her
hands, her people wOnld be very reluct-
ant to see the Eastern question reopen
ed. France alone would probably be
pleased to see war going on, and her
old enemies at hammer aud tongs with
Russia.
The settlement of the Eastern ques-
tion has always been artificial. 1t has
aimed to keep the Turk in Europe, for
fear that Constantinople, the gateway 10
the East, would pass into Slavic hands.
For this reason no settlement is lasting.
Russia would have driven the Turk out
of Europe and made an end of him dur
ing the last war if the powers had not
interviewed, and Russia will never be
satisfied while the Turk controls her
outlet to the Mediterranean.-[B Baltimore

Tell Me, Ye Winged Winds.

Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do We not know some spot
Where mortals weep no more?
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the west,
Where, free from toll and pain,
The weary soul may rest?
The loud wind dwindled to whisper
low,
And sighed for pity as it answard, No
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
KnOw'st thou some favored spot,
Some island far away,
Where weary man may find
The bliss for which he sighs,-
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies?
The loud waves, rolling in perpetual
flow,
Stopped for awhile and sighed to an
swsr,-"NO."
And thou, SereneSt moon,
That, with such lovely face,
DOst look upon the earth,
Asleep In nights embrace;
Tell me, in all thy round
Hast thou not seen some spot
Where miserable man
May find a happier lot?
Behind a cloud the moon withdrew in
woe,
And in voice, sweet but sad, respond
ed,-"NO."
Tell me, my secret soul.
o, tell me, Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting-place
From sorrow, sin and deathP
Is there no happy spot
Where mertals may be blessed,
Where grief may find balm,
And WEAKNESS restt
Faith, Hope, and Love, best boons to
mOrtals given,
Waved their bright wings, and whisper
ed,-"YEs, in Heaveni"

More Democratic Harmony.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is disorgani-
yer and Ishmaelite 1t cares nothing fol
party success because it has no political
principles of any kind. 1t is conducted
solely for gain, and its proprietor is ever
ready to make any kind of political ba,,
gain that promises pecuniary return
He takes as much interest in setting up
republican as democratic local cOnven-
tiOns. The republican county ticket was
practically nominated by him, and is re-
ceiving no sort of support from the re-
publican organ for that reason. Nc,
Leans influence in this cOuntyis is as wick
| ed, and would be as dangerOus,aS Tweed's
was in New York, if he had a tithe of
Tweed's brains.-Cin.News Journal, Dem.
The Enquirer of yesterday contained a
three-column double-leaded editorial as
sault upon Senator George II. Pendleton,
which is reproduced in that same jour
ualistic sewer to-day. Nothing more vi
cious in its malignancy, nothing more idi-
otic in its policy, nothing. more foully
false has been spewed out before sick
ened public, even when in the white heat
of a national canvass party opponents and
thievery were the objects of The riot of
indecent language and the anarchy of
falsehOOd, that have sometimes affected
bitter paFtisans. The purview of this hy-
drophobic effort is that the Highland
house ticket was legitimately conceived
and brought forth in pride, that Senator
PendletOn attempted to corrupt the con-
hat hn TO ~ ~,
ticket, and that its prospective defeat
must be shifted upon his shoulders. that
he is not Democrat. Columbus Times,

The editor of the Cleveland Plain Deal
er, the Democratic organ of North
ern Ohio, who was candidate for Treas
urer of CuyahOga county, and was beaten
by Beokwalter's bar1, manipulated by his
henchman, Farley, the Mayor of the city,
speaks out in meeting in this wise:
1t is undeniable and beyond dispute
that in some wards of Cleveland every
instrumentality that the municipal gov
ernment of the city could bring to bear,
supplemented with an expenditure of
money hitherto unknown in Democratic
politics, to elect delegates pledged to go
into the convention in the interest of a
few candidates who had been agreed
upon in Farley's office at the City hall.
The scheme worked successfully, and the
"repeaters" who worked the wards that
were supposed to be doubtful as to the
will of the 'bOSses," were generally sue
ceSSful, and Their delegates were elected
to the convention. and on Saturday were
prolific in their abuse of and opposition
to those candidates who were not on the
SLATE" and went wild with huzzahs and
joy When all the ring" candidates, by
about the same vote. were nominated.

Released.

A little swallow, flying about the Col
lege des Quatre Nations, in Paris, one
day, became entangled in a piece Of
thread that was fastened to a spous in
y wall. 1t struggled to free itsslf, but
in vain; and wearied by its efforts, it
uttered piteeus cries for help. In a
snort time all the swallows from be-
tween the Pont des Tuileries and Pont
Neuf had gathered about him. flying up
up and down with cries of pity and
and alarm, and seeming to consult to-
getheT over the means of releasing him.
At last brilliant thought struck one of
the many hundreds of feathered friends,
and in their own language he communi-
Gated it to the others. They all at once
placed themselves in order and, fiying
up, one after another, struck at the
thread with their beaks. The tiny
blows, if given singly, could never have
broken the stubborn thread; but, COM
ing in quick succession on the same
spot. it was not long before the thread
broke, and the little captive was set
free amid the rejoicings and congratula-
tions Of its friends.

A Nice Ticket for wOrkingmen

A Nice Ticket for. WOrkingmen
The Democratic State ticket is nice
one to claim the support of working
men. The attempt to boom 1t in the
coal miRing districts is especially cheeky.
for it assumes that the miners have
neither intelligence nor memory.
The head of the ticket is George
Hoadly. who in the Constitutional Con-
vention fought hard against the adop-
tion of any measure requiring legisla-
tive provision for the health and safety
of miners. 1t is the same George Hoad-
ly who wanted the miners of Ohio un-
protected and to "allow mishap and dis
aster to have its natural effect as the
remedy for and cure of the evils which
result from negligence which causes
mishap and disaster"
The second place on the ticket is oceu
pied by John G. Warwick, who in the
miners strike of 1876 was urgent in
calling troops to Overawe the miners
and suppress the strike.
The voters of the mining districts
now have an excellent opportunity to
give those two Democratic candidates a
dose of their own medicine. They can
allow Mr.. George Hoadly to learn by
"mishap and disaster" at the polls the
result of his negligence" and indiffer-
ence to their vital interest. They can
strike against Mr.. John G. Warwiek's
presence on the ticket, without his abil-
ity to summon troops for their punish

Voting on the Amendments.

Some ever-ready letter-writers think we
are taking too positive position on the
question of the constitutional amend
ments, as they are not before the public
in a partisan way.
We beg our friends to understand that
we owe the public information, and are
bound to give it as clearly as possible, and
to make it of practical utility to them.
When. therefore, we are asked about
the effect of amendments we are bound to
answer according to the facts.
As we understandSit, the rock upon
which the Republican party in Ohio rests
in this campaign is the Scott Law. 1t is
good law and popular one, and we are
in favor of maintaining it, and believe it
will stand about as it is for many years.
The effect of the first amendment, if it
prevailed, would be to confirm the conSti-
tutionality of the Scott Law. but that will
never more be N question, unlefs we elect
a Democratic Supreme State Court.
All who believe in the Scott Law should
therefore be at the pains to vote against
the Democratic judicial candidates. We
recommend this to the friends of the
Scott Law, irrespective of their partisan
affiliations.
BY covering the whole ground of the
Scott Law. the first amendment goes so
far as to remove the disability of the Leg
islature to establish a license system.
If the first amendment prevails, and the
second does not, the General Assembly of
Ohio will be competent to establish Ii
quOr license system.
Therefore, all that there is in the first
amendment that We have not got under
the Scott Law decision of the Supreme
Court of the State, is the ability TO license
the traffic in intoXicantS.
The second amendment if adopted,
would make the first void, and there does
not seem, therefore, to be any fine point
in voting for both amendments.
The prohibitory amendment would not

The Eeui Pool.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-General Managers Hugh
lit, of the Northwestern, and CLARK, of the
Union Pacific, arrived here from New York this
forenoon. Mr.. Hughitt stated to q representa-
tive of the associated press that the Northwest
ern company had been informally sotihed OF
the existence of the triple alliance between the
Union Pacific, Rock Island and st Paul roads,
but the terms of the contract, which had been
signed, had not been outlined. Informal notice
has also been given the Northwestern road that
it could enter the association, but upon what
terms is not stated. TIE policy of the North
western was, and it had been from the outset,
for a peaceful adjustment OF any difference on
the Union Pacific business, and
pursued by the Northwestern in certain alterna-
tiyes, would certainly not be outlined until
the exact position of the three roads of the new
association has been disclosed. His deliberate
view was that the Union Pacif, could not afford
to enter upon any serious discrimination against
any of its feeders, but in anv event the North
western expected to be able to protect its inter
ests, and would certainly do so. He could moi
say that the new agreement would be disclosed
at the adjourned meeting OF the Iowa pool OF
next Wednesday, as it did not properly
form eny part of the business of the old asssocl
alton. IF or that session lie Cd association
VIZ renewed. he did not u2derstsnd that J
you'd come n conflict in any way with the Il
agreement aud thst, II the event OF the Teaev7a

Proceedings of the Irish State Convention
at Milwaukee.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 1S.-At the morning sss-
sion of the IRISH state convention the commit
tee on organization was appointed and made
their report. At2 o'clock the convention lis
tened to the report of the COMMITTEES on reselu-
tons. The latter condemned the British gov
eminent. and approved of the Philadelphia con-
vention's call for allegiance to Charles Stewart
Psruell. They declare that Ireland's hope lies
in the union and fraternity of her sons, regard
less of creed or section, and denounce as in
famous the efforts of the Brit
ISL government to rekiudle the
fires of religious intolerance as manifested in the
late attacks by English-lnspired mobs upon the
meetings of the Irish nationalists IN Ireland. It
is laid down as the duty of Irishmea to promote
manufactures in Ireland and encourage the i'm
portation of Irish goods into America. After
reading the resolutions the struggle for its adop-

cheers for Ireland, and the convention ad-

at Omaha could work together on the old plan.
Mr.. Clark, of the Union Pacific and Mr.. Potter,
Of the Burlington had conference this morning,
but the new agreement was not touched upon.
The Burlington has not b en- given notice that
it can join the new alliance. The fact has been
disclosed that the Book Island and St. Paul
made q move for the adjournment of the meet
ing of the Iowa pool to Dec. 18th, but this was
opposed by the Burlington, On the ground that
the St. Paxls notice to quit the old pool ran out
on Dec. 18th, which would allow only
three days in which to prepare for an open fight.
The St. Paul then agreed TO extend its notice to
January1. The position Of the Wabash with
regard to the negotiation has not been carried
forward, and it has not been learned, but from
official statements made, it is opposed to the
tripartite agreement, and it is expected to join
with the roads left out of the preliminary nego-
tiations. While nothing definite has taken
place with the view of forming rival alliance,
the official view here is that the Burlington,
Northwestern and possibly the Wabash will
join with the Rio Grande for the Denver and
through business to the coast in the
event that some accommodation is not
| reached bet.re January first next.
