War Inevitable.

II 10 very evident that neither England nor
Russia want war, II war can be avoided with
honor and without the sacrifice Of substantial
interests; and England wants it even less un-
der an ostensibly bellicose administration,
whose accession to power is largely due TO the
popular impatiencs of the pacific foreign psli-
cy Of Mr.. Gladstone, than when it believed its
belligerent propensities were restrained by the
government. The accession Of tho consorya-
tives to power brings with 1t, a. usual, larger
sense Of responsibility, and they will probably
60 as far to ayeid the burden Of a costly for
slgn war as Mr.. Gladstone himself. And the
nation would probably accept With cantent-
ment con ueessons and compromisss for the sake
Of peace from a tory administration, which rep
rssents tile fighting traditions Of tho tory party,
which it would reject with querulous disdain
il offered or consented to by liberal govern
ment, with its marked preference for the sub
stanta interests Of tho country to the alluring
but empty shadows Of national glory. But
though war may he temporarily goatt;;iYensd, oat;Yens it
cannot be avoided. The quarrel oyer the Pen
jdeh incident and the ZulGkar pass are simply
local outbreaks Of an isrepres.lbls conflict be-

Hope VS.. Portland.

On Monday the Hope base ball nine and the
Portland nine played match game on the lat
ter's grounds in which the former were sue
cessful by score Of Al TO u. Although the
Hope nine seemed to be the stronger team, we
cannot consider the result a positive decision as
to proficiency. Many Of the Portland nine are
young amateurs, and having never Rafo|e
played in q match game Lacame excited and
unnerved, while the Hope nine was composed
Of old players, two Of their best ones being
members Of the Colgate club. Another ma
terial item in favor Of tie visiting club was
the decisions OF the umpire, who, at the start
OF tile game, was determinedly inclined to 10
a little Hopeisl,. The game passed off pleas
antly with no harsh words or hard feelings OH
either side, and we can proudly say that the
visitors were gentlemen in toto. The Portland
club will play the return game in Hope next
Friday, when it is to be hoped that our boys
will gallant]y redeem themsolves.-forland

the public man who gives to such will find

Tie (sragsl,OpDers,

The news Of the advent of grasshoppers, or
moro properly locusts, at Fort Buford, where
they are deyouring the crops in tho Vicinity,
will awaken good deal Of apprehension lest
Northern Dakota and Minnesota may he visited
with tho plague which desolatsd Southwestern
Minnesota few years ago. We are. unfortu-
natey, without reliable information as to tho
extent Of the swarm or The apparent direction
Of their movements. Fort Buforl Is about one
hundred and fifty miles north Of Bismarck.
Thore is no telling, however, iu what direction
the locustY will take their flight. Like the
winds OIL which thoy are borne, they fly when
they list, and no man knows whonce they come
or wither they 80. They may turn northward
on the prevailing southwesterly winds and
strike Manitoba, whose older settlers will recall
the havoc made by these voracious pests at
various periods in the history Of the settlement.
Whether they are mere local and sporadic
visitation, or the advance guard Of one Of those
vast invasions which sweep millions Of acres
with destruction, is question which remains
to be determined. II they don't put in their
work soon, the wheat AaEveat will b. beyond
the reach Of their voraCity; and in any event,
even IL thoy should come farther east, it is not
likely that they could do much damage within
tho limited period yet remaining before the
wheat crop shall be out Of their way.-Pioneer

tween ths tws grsat powers which dominate
Asia England must dsfsnd her Indian from
tiers upon the northern Afghan boundary
against the steady, psfslnacious march of Rus
sian aggression, which never halts except to
strengthen itself for another forward move
ment The proposed delinitation Of the Al
CHAN frontier is one Of those temporary haIts.
The boundary agreed upon will be respected
by Russia just 70 long "a II suits her purpose.
Always on the watch for pretexts for new en-
creachments, she will find them AZ easily in D
the future rs she has found them In the past.
and the Afghan outposts on the new line which
marks the latest advance Of tho Russian otand-
ard will afford slender resistance to future
ones. The situation entails upon England the
necessity Of being constantly on the watch and
constantly prepared to repel these gradual APP
proaches Of Russia toward her Indian frontier.
And the situation is greatly complicated with
elements Of disturbance by the precarious hold
which England has upon tho friendship OF the
Afghans, by the lack Of stability in their gov-gl
ernment, aud by the turbulence of this half
savage people, which Is likely at any time to
upset the most carefully studied diplomatic ar
rangements by impulsive quarreSs with their
cunning neighbors from the north. So far
as India itself is concerned, 1t might as a
purely military question, be more cheaply and
effectively defended from its northern from
tiers. But England has large views of im-
proving her communications with India by
railway, and though the political situation has
not been favorable to the settlement of any
definite plan ofrailway communication through
the countries which lie between tho I.eyant
and tho Indus, yet SHE will never permit Rus
sin, II she can help 1t, or any other power TO
ssiza the positions which would menace any OF
the feasible or possible routes Of that projected
line Of railway. The power which held the
central mountain passes Of Afghanistan would
command the approaches to the Sind, to Bo-
looclllstan, ami the Arabian sea, and could so.
late India forever from any communication
with England except by sea. SO it Is a logical
necessity of English policy that Afghan inde-
peudence and integrity be maintained as bull
wark against Russian oncroachment, not
especially as menaclng India, but a. threaten

nicatlon with Indla.-Pionssr Pres.

The Hail storm.

The Fargo Republican OF the 18th says the
hail storm that struck Fargo the evening be-
fore was terrific while it lasted, but fortunately
1t was lnaccompanied by wind, and the dam
age in the city seems to have been confined to
few broken panes Of glass and severely
pelted vegetable gardens. Outside OF Fargo
the storm was very light where it struck at all,
and little or no damage to wheat in Cass
county Is reported It Is believed 10 have been
the "tail end" Of the storm which passed over
the northern counties yesterday. The hail in
surance company officials state thatit was very
general north Of hors. Starting in Psmbina
county, 1t seems to hayo passed through Walsh,
Grand Forks, Nelson and Trail counties, doing
considerable damage In soane localities, but Mt
no point so much as reported.
Tho Northern Pacific elevator company re-
ceived kilograms this morning FROM points on
tho Northern Pacific road as far west as Wheat
land and as FAR east Al Glyndon.
The one from Whsatland stated that the hail
stones there were Of medium size; the storm
lasted five minutes, but there was no wind aud
no damage.
At Cassslton there was very little hail and no
aauaSo TeportCQ.
At Mapleton not any hail to speak Of.
At GIyndon light hail but no damage to
crops.
From the Fargo & Southern elevator OIL
cials it is learned that there was no damage
south CT hore, there being no hail even at the
first station south Of Fargo.
The Larimore Pioneer Of the 18th says:
'.About o'clock yesterday morning occurred
the worst hailstorm that has visited this section
since the memorable one Of August, 1883. Con-
siderable hail fell in town, but the damage in
this Immediate vicinity is slight. In the hills
west Of town much Of the grain area is as bare
IS il plowed. From Niagara southeast, through
. strip of considerable width, about half the
crop is reported destroyed, until Moraine town
ship was reached, where two currents seeMcd
to meet about George W. Thompson,s place,
and from there east and south the destruction
was terrific. Evory kind OF crop was beaten
down into the ground. Many farmers feel
very blue, as bg. Tuesday evening they saw u

q few minutes was swept away. The loss will
probably reach 10, 600 acres. The storm seems
