England's Troubles.

The British lion is evidently chatting a
good deal under Mr.. Gladstone's vacillating
foreign policy. The latest utterances of the
London Times are remarkably radical for a
paper which is generally conservative in
tone, with leaning towards the great Lib
eral leader. But the sights and indignities
heaped upon England of late by the CONT
mental powers have wounded British pride,
and the utterances of the Times will proba-
bly, find responsive echo in the hearts of a
large majority of Engshmen.
Since Beaconsfeld stepped down and out
the foreign policy of the British government
has been defensive rather than aggressive.
Beaconsfeld sought rather than avoided com
plications with foreign powers. A vigorous
foreign policy was his watchword, and to daz-
zle his countrymen by achievements of Brit
ish arms in foreign lands was his controlling
ambition. Then England was quick to sus-
pect designs upon her integrity and prompt
to take measures to avert them. A costly
war was carried on in Afghanistan to estab-
lish scientific frontier, and to head off the
suspected designs of Russia on the Indian
empire. When the Russian troops were ap-
preaching Constantinople England steamed
her feet into the Dardanelles and demanded
a halt. In the conference of the powers
which arranged the terms of the peace be-
tween Russia and Turkey England bore
conspicuous part. Under the treaty of Ber-
lin the island of Cyprus was turned over to
her, and Beaconsfield on his return from the
East was welcomed as conqueror. But
his star had reached its zenith and thence
forth steadily declined. 1t gradually dawned
on the English mind that in his conquests
there was much more of the shadow than of
the substance; and the disagreeable process
of footing the bills dispelled whatever was
left of the illusion of "a dazzling foreign
policy.
The Beaconsfeld ministry went down and
Gladstone came into power. The admins

The report of Consul Livermore of Lon
donderry, Ireland, gives statistics showing
that for the past six years there has been a
steady decrease in the importation of cereals
into Ireland from the United States, and a
corresponding increase in the importation of
grain from the Black Sea. The reason is
found in the different trade methods of the
Greek and the American dealers The for
mer guarantees that his goods shall be at
the port of consignment of the quality or
grade represented and that any portion
found otherwise shall be submitted to arbi-
tration for determining the amount to be de-
Quoted from the price. The American deal
er sells by the inspectors grading. whose
certificate attends the bill of lading and bills
drawn fer the price. The consequence is
said to be that larger proportion of dam
aged cargoes is found among the American
than among the Russian imports, while the
loss in the former case falls upon the pur-
chaser, who has no remedy, while in the lat
ter case the loss by damage is deducted from
the price by the award of the arbitrators.
There is such manifest advantage to the
purchaser In the Russian method that it is
not surprising that Russian wheat threatens
to drive the American staple from the mar

serious consideration of American grain i'm

Prior to 1860 the officers and men of the
Portland fire companies were paid $25
apiece yearly In 1860 the wages of the for
mer were raised TO $40, while those of the
latter were left at the old figure. After the
great fire in 1866 the pay of the foremen and
clerks was raised to SIS, and that of the men
to $66. These are the wages at present ex-
listing. The fremen now ask that the pay
of the foremen and clerks be raised to $3.50,
and the pay of the plivates to $120. They
argue that the inhabited limits of the city
have been greatly extended since 1866, that
there are now very many more buildings to
protect and spread over larger territory,
and consequently that the calls upon
them are much more frequent and more
difficult to answer. Their pay, never
large, they now regard as ridiculously
out of proportion to the value of the SER
vices they perform. The total cost to the
city of such an increase as they ask for
would be in the neighborhood of $4,000
year. Their request deserves the care
full consideration of the city council. I'm
doubleday the property owners of Portland
feel q disposition to deal as literally with
the tiremen as the condition of the city f.

almost all the troubles of the Gladstone
ministry The Egyptian debt. always a
difficult question, has grown more trouble
some with advancing years until now sat
isfactory solution seems well nigh impossi-
Bile. The defeat and massacre of Hicks Pa
sha's forces in the Soudan, the failure to
extricate the garrisons from the False
PROPHETS clutches and the subsequent
wholesale massacre of many of them, the de-
lay OF the movement to rescue Gen. Gordon
and Khartoum, have all proved exceedingly
CALLING to British pride, and several times
during the last year the Gladstone ministry
has appeared to be lettering to its fall. That
it has so far escaped the fate which seemed
inevitable is due in large measure to
Gladstone's commanding personality and his
foreign affairs by the presentation of the
franchise and redistribution bills.
Within few months, to the complica-
tions in Egypt, which have not improved,
have been added complications in other di-
rections. Russia, taking advantage of the
preoccupation of England in Egypt, has ad-
Vanced to the frontier of Afghanistan and is
threatening the integrity of the Indian en-
pire. Germany is developing colonizng
tendencies, and has already raised her flag
close to the English dominions in the South
Pacific. In Egyptian matters, too, Bismarck
seems inclined to insist that the wishes of
Germany shall net be disregarded. The
operations of the French feet in British wa
tiers are also believed to be inimical to Brit
ish interests. The attitude of Ireland still
continues to be threatening, and doubtless a
foreign war would be the signal for an out
break in that quarter.
That the British nation is growing FESTIVE
under this state of affairs is patent to every
body who keeps the run of current opinion
as reflected by the newspapers and public
men. Were Beaconstield alive to-day, his
genius would no doubt be able to weld the
scattered forces of discomfort into solid
mass and hurl them with crushing force
against the Gladstone ministry. But the
Conservative party is now wofully weak in
leaders, and the Gladstone ministry will very
likely live on after Parliament reassembles
simply because there is no man among the
Tory leaders competent to organize and d.
rect the opposition.

The losses by fire in the United States for
the past year foot up the enormous aggre-
gate of one hundred and twelve millions.
This is an amount almost unprecedented.
Probably considerable percentage of this
loss is indirectly due to the bad business of
the year, for it has long been observed that
concerns that were making money are as a
rule more exempt from fires than concerns
that are losing money. But the larger
number were undoubtedly the result of de-
fectiVe construction or carelessness on the
part of occupants. Fires arising from over
insurance can be prevented by care on the
part of insurance companies not to accept
risks up to the full value of the property.
And fires from defective construction can be
to large extent prevented also, but fires
from carelessness of occupants we are likely
always to have in great abundance.

The late election in Tennessee
was one OF the most emphatic re-
Dukes of the railroad commission
that any public measure ever re-
ceived from the people through the
ballot box. The State is, and has
been for many years, overwhelm-
ingly Democratic, and yet the peo-
pie elected as railroad commission
ers, pronounced Republicans, who
were known to be utterly opposed
to the measure, and who publicly
announced their determination in
advance OF the election, not to ac-
eept the salary or perform the du-
ties of the office, if elected! /! 1t was
the most remarkable occurrence
known in the political history OF
the State, and we would not be sur
prised If some sudden and startling
railroad building is commenced
soon. Last week there was sever
al days conference held in this city
between some prominent railroad
men and the situation thoroughly
discussed. 1t will take time, OF
course, to secure the necessary cap
itaI, but this time Tennessee affords
inducements to capitalists to invest

The Eject of Manufactures.

We have repeatedly shown the
value of manufactures to any seq
ton OF the country, and, as bearing
on the same subject, the Charleston
News and Courier, in writing OF
the Charleston Cotton Mill, says :
property has increased in value in
all that quarter OF the city where
the factory is situated, which In
crease is the direct result Of the
erection and operation OF the facto-
ry itself. The increase in many
places has been as high as 100 per
cent, and it Is not too much to say
that the entire cost of the factory TO
the city has been more than COM
pensated by this one item alone.
The same remark applies to similar
enterprises In other counties in the
State. The lands around Piedmont
and Pelzer factories, which could
have been bought at one or two
dollars an acre before those factories
were built, could not now be bought
for one hundred dollars an acre.
The increase in values OF all kinds
around these factories and the Pac-
olet and Clifton factories, In Spar
tanbug county, and others In other
parts OF the State, amounts tosmil-
lions of dollars"
