Mr.. Cleveland the man, and Mr..
Cleveland the President of the United
States are two. We viii take back
nothing we have ever said about him,
but will heneeforth speak of him as Pres

mends itself to honest men of all parties.
Some of his cabinet appointments
seemed to be open to criticism, but
all appear to be actuated by determi-
nation TO carry out Mr.. Cleveland's civ
il-serviee reform principles. Secretary
Manning has made one bad break in
the appointment of Higgins. but that is
only temporary, and perhaps will not be
made permanent. If the administration
continues as it has begun, it will leave
things in pretty good shape for the Re.
publican president Of 1885.

England's position grows more I'M
enviable daily. The chances of a war
between her and Russia on account of
the latters s'march to India" by way of
Afghanistan are somewhat lessened,
simply because the English government
has backed squarely down from its pos
ition recently taken, that the Russian
army of occupation must withdraw
from the disputed Afghan territory. 1t
is not at all certain that the question
will reach peaceful solution. Both
countries are making extensive prepar-
ations for war and this fact of itself
tends to make rupture of peace a
probability.
In the Soudan, English affairs are not
encouraging. Gen. Wolseley and
his forces on the Nile are strictly on the
defensive against Ell Mehdi's hordes.
On the Red sea coast Kassala is still
besieged and its fall before the on
slaughts of the Arabs would be no sur
prise. To brave Gen. Graham, one of
the ablest English officers, has been
assigned the task of conquering Osman
Digma's forces and building railroad
from Suakim on the coast, to Berber
Soudanese city about two hundred
miles inland, Upon the banks of the
Nile. During the past week General
Graham has made several efforts to adj
vance along the proposed line but every
step has been stubbornly contested by
the troops of Osman DIgma and in sew
eral instances the English almost suf-
fered disastrous defeat. The English
losses in killed and wounded already
foot up heavily and many hearts in Old
England mourn the loss of loved one
on the far away sands Of the Soudan.
Gen. Graham reports the Arab losses as
very large, the killed in one battle,
Sunday last, being estimated at over
5000. The stubborn bravery of the
Arabs can be judged by the fact that
although poorly armed, many having
only spears. they have contested every
inch of the British progress, and now,
after weeks continuous fighting Gen.
Graham only claims an advance of
seven miles on the long march to
Berber.
