PEOPLE generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers and close
observers, have but faint conception
of the magnitude and influence the press
Of this country has attained. From q
careful examination of the advance pages
of the 1885 edition of the American
Newspaper directory, issued May LIST, by
Geo. p Rowell & Co., of New York, it
appears that there are ID, lat newspapers
and periodicals published in the United
States and Canada; of these the United
States has 12,973, an average of one
paper for every 8, 1867 persons. In 1884 the
total number Of newspapers was less by
823 than at present, and while the gain
this year is not so marked as in some
previous years, it is still considerable.
Kansas shows the greatest increase. the
number being rs. while Illinois follows
with gain of ". 1t is curious to notice
that New York, the scene of so much
political activity during the last cam
paign, should have only about one third
as many new papers as the state of Penn
sylvania. As an index to the compara-
tive growth and prosperity of different
sections of the country, especially the
territories, the number of new papers
forms an interesting study, and may well
occupy the attention of the curious

THE judicial election occurs on Mon
day, June 12. In this. the Tenth dis
trict, nominations have been made only
by one party-the republicans. And it is
not likely that the democrats will make
any nominations, for the district is
strongly republican, and partisan fight
co uld only result in one way. But the
republicans claim that politics should not
enter into Judicial elections. and so say
we all. In the face of this assertion,
therefore, the actions of the republicans
appear to be rather ill-mannered. Per-
haps it is an accident that all the gentle
men nominated are we'll known republi-
cans. They are all good, honest men,
of course, and we'll fitted to wear the Off
cial ermine, but it would seem to us o
little n ore proper had the late convention
named one of the numerous democratic
lawyers in the district, and thus flavore d
the ticket with nom partisanship.

ANOTHER BREATHING SPELL.

Russia's reported willingness to let the
responsibility for the Penjdeh incident
be determined by arbitration, while Eng>
land manifests an inclination to accept
the Lessar boundary line, strengthens the
hopes of those who deprecate an Anglo
Russian conflict. PROFESSIONALLY the adj
vantage and the prestige are ON the side
OF the Gear under the circumstances Yet
it has begun to dawn upon even the rabid
opponents of Jingoism in London that
Herat as well as Penjdeh may not be
worth fighting for. The maintenance Of
Afghanistan as bulwark between India
and Muscovlte aggression is the costliest
sort of defence. for the Ameer has to be
regularly subsidized from the Anglo ms
dian treasury. Mr.. Glandstone evidently
believes that the integrity of the Indian
Empire would not be more seriously
menaced with the Car acknowledged as
Suzerain of Afghanistan than 1t is at
present when the Ameer's territory inter-
poses as free zone between the realms
of Alexander and Victoria.
For obvious reasons an armed strugt
gle between these colossal powers would
inure to the benefit of our agriculture,
manufacturers and commerce; but we are
not callous or inhuman enough on that
account to wish for the carnage and de-
VISITATION that must inevitably attend a
war OF such proportions. In endeavoring
to avert these calamities, even at the risk
of inviting obloquy and hazarding his
country's prestige, Mr.. Gladstone dis
plays a quality of craftsmanship and
moral courage that is as admirable as it is
rare in Europe.

years The ceremony was performed at

divorce is obtained to marry inside the

There has been good deal said of late
