Russia and England.

Russia has again duplicated her ancient
trick. While the diplomats at London and
st. Petersburg were parleying, and at mo-
menr when there seemed to be good pros
pect that an amicable settlement of the AT
CHAN boundary dispute would be arrived at
the Russian officers on the frontier have sud-
denly sprung forward, attacked the garrison
in Penjdeh and defeated it. 1t is alleged by
the Russians that the Afghans provoked the
attack. Possibly this is true. But there
have been so many instances in the past
where Russian diplomacy has talked one way,
while the Russian military arm has acted Ia
In another, that it will be difficult to
pre-arranged by the Russians. The derisive
laughter which greeted the expressions of re-
greet on the part of the Russian minister of
foreign affairs in the Commons shows plain
ly enough that in the opinion of English
statesmen Russia has been guilty of du-
plicity.
1t may be putting it too strongly to say
that the affair at PeDjdeh makes war newt
able but it undoubtedly immensely dimin-
ishes the chances of peaceful settlement.
The English people will be in, no temper to
allow any further parleying. Russia must do
something more than express regret at the
impetuoslty of Gen. Komoroff and promise
that no further advance shall be made. The
English people will be satisfied now with
nothing less than the prompt withdrawal of
the Russian forces from the disputed terri
tory. If Russia does not assent to this
speedily, and follow her assent by prompt &C
ton, we may be certain that the British force
now collected on the Afghan border will
soon be on the march to Herat. Lord DUFF
ferin seems to have come to full under
standing with the Amer, and at the pres
emit time Afghanistan is the ally of England.
England is bound by the terms of the alli-
ance, as well as by self-interest, to promptly
assist the Ameer to repel any invasion of his
territory. The British force available at
present for march to Herat is supposed to
number about 80, 900 men. and 1t can be rap
idly augmented. The Russian troops are
much nearer Herat than the English, but

The fact is. Irishmen are generous and

England and pay honor to the heir 10 the
British throne because he comes to them
confidingly, as a guest. If they continue
their good behavior to the end, they will de-
serve credit for their good sense and self-re-
straint. No doubt they will do SO. Yet
there are cranks in every land, and the

Review of the Chapter on Painting in
Gonse's 81 Art Japonais." By Earnest r.
Feuollosa, Professor of Philosophy and Logics
University of Toxic, Japan. Boston; James
R. Osgood & Co., Portland Loring, Short &
Harmony This is q pamphlet of "a octave
pages from the University Press. Professor
Edward S. Morse says of it that SIT is the
most accurate account of Japanese painting
yet published" While Professor Fenolosa
accords 10 the distinguished French critic,
Louis Gonse, great ability aud excellent
taste, be differs radically with him in his
various conclusions about Japanese paint
ing. We know TOO little about the art in
Japan TO be able to follow the argument
Understandings, but we can see, from the
claims of both authors, that painting is the
most important of the arts in Japan; that it
has been cultivated there for more than a
thousand years; and that much,o of 1t has been
true art work and not decorative painting.
This is view which Professor Morse an
nounced here in his lectures long ago, but
which his half-ncredulous auditors believed
was somewhat colored by his enthusiasm
for Japan, despite their confidence in his
judgment on artistic matters.
1t seems that Japan looks back TO $50 A.
D. TO Kanawoka as great artist, after whom
rose and fourished school of pure Japan
ese art for long period. That gradually
declined, and early in the fifteenth century
there was renaissance on account of the
Chinese school of art coming in.
Professor Fenolosa gives M. Gonse the
credit of being the first European writer to
perceive distinctly the absolute artistic
worth of japanese painting in general, and
himself remarks that at is honest and abso-
Lutte painting in lis highest sense, and worthy
of comparison with European master
pieces"
In the future our people may become
familiar with Japanese painting and the
many strange names referred to may become
as well-known as those of European mas
tiers, but in the meantime this book will be
more especially interesting and valuable to
higher art students.

When the municipal salary bill comes up
again before the City Council 1t will be wise
to take 1t up by sections and not pass it in
lump as before. In this way it will be pos
sible to consider the salary of every officer on
its merits. An increase in the compensation
of one officer may be just and proper while an
increase in the salary of another may be en-
tirely uncalled for. It is doubtless unpleas-
ant to vote against giving faithful and agree
bic officer small increase of salary, but if

The New Haven Union says it has the au-
thority of the late Postmaster General Jew
ell for stating that when he and other Con-
necticut gentlemen urged Gen. Grant to offer
foreign appointment to ex-President Wool
sey of Yale college Gen. Grant declined on
account of a magazine article of DIR. Wool
sey's upon the American system. The Presi-
dents criticism upon the article was that 1t
indicated lack of sympathy with Democratic
ideas, aud that no man, no matter how dis
tlnguished, should represent this country
abroad who was not in thorough sympathy
with American ideas of popular government.
