THE KAR CLOUD.

The war cloud is evidently growing more
dense over Europe. The situation is thought
to be more critical than at any period since
the Russian advance England's demand
for explanation and satisfaction, at the time
of Gen. Komaroff's attack on Penjdeh, was
suspended, in view of Russia's friendly pro.
fessions, TO await the report of the Russian
commander on the one side and Sir Peter
Lumsden on the other. These reports have
been received, and they are found to differ
so widely that. t.England has renewed the de.
mand. II the demand is serious call for
satisfaction its ultimatum must necessarily
be the recall of Gen. Komaroff, and 1t is not
likely that Russia would concede this.
One of the most serious indications of the
gravity of the situation is the request that
the English government makes for war
credit of $55,000O00.
The cable dispatches indicate that the
tone Of the English and Russian press is
exceedingly bitter and the uncomfortable
rumors are claimed to be very disquieting
| II is claimed now that Russia declines TO
pledge herself against any advance beyond
the Afghan boundary line pending nego-
tiations. 1t is also said that France has
Joined with the other powers in insisting
that the Porte shall close the Dardanelles in
case of war and remain neutral. 1t is fur.
ther reported that Russia intends to sieze
and fortify Herat under any circumstances.
AS far as we are able to judge from the
present outlook the indications are that
England and Russia will soon be engaged
in war.

During the past week the name of Hon.
George Peter, of this place, has been men
TONED in connection with the Judgeship of
the District Supreme Court made vacant by
the resignation of Judge Wylie. While we
are informed that Mr.. Peter has made no
application for the place, we have no doubt
he would accept it if rendered, and no APP
pointment could be made that would give
more pleasure to his many friends both in
this State and the District of Columbia. His
many years of practice in the Courts here
and at Washington, together with his un.
doubted ability as lawyer, fit him in an
eminent degree for the position. 1t is said
that Mr. Peter will have the support of

gress and of many of the most influential

4 CON0RESsM1N,s REoUEST.

AT least one Democratic Congressman
thinks that the Democratic victory last Fall
meant that the people wanted the offices
turned over TO the Democrats. His name is
Maybury, and he will represent the Detroit,
Michigan, district in the next Congress. A
day or two ago he called on Samuel Post
the Pension Agent for Michigan, and re-
quested him to resign. He stated frankly
that he was not representing any one at
Washington, but thought the time had come
for Republican officials TO vacate the offices
Mr.. Post expressed some surprise at May.
bury's request, and wanted to know if any
charges had been preferred against him, OF
If there were any grounds for charges. Mr.
Maybury replied that he knew nothing
about any charges, but that as Mr.. Post was
an offensive partisan" he would have to
vacs'e his caice before long, and, therefore,
he might as well resign at once. Mr.. Post
concluded that The congressman was In too
great hurry to get friend Of his appointed
as agent and modestly declined to give up
his comfortable Office.
Mr.. Maybury is evidently one of those
men who know what they want and have
the courage to ask for 1t. 1t is not to his
discrcdit that he did not get what he want.
ed, but in demanding Mr.. Posts resigna.
iion he displayed childlike simplicity that
will cause him 10 be pointed out as q curl
osity when he gets to Washington.
There is not another Democratic Con
gresham in the country, perhaps, who
thinks that Republican would yacate an
Office as long as he had the remotest chance
of holding on To it. rhe Michigan Con-
gresham will learn later In his career, per-
haps, that Republican officials are not TO be
got rid Of by simple requests

TRADE PROSPECTS.

Predictions about the revival of business
have been so frequently made, to be as fire.
quently unverified, that it has become de-
cidedly dangerous to indulge longer therein.
Nevertheless, we notice some indications that
the revival is at length at hand, and that the
long period of comparative inactivity is
drawing to an end. For instance, we notice
that at trade sale made in New York at
the close of the past week some eight hun
dred cases Of cotton goods sold on an aver
age OF one-fourth per cent. higher than was
looked for by sellers and buyers. There
were large number of merchants from
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Chicago and the East
ern cities The goods were of character
dependent on home demand and likely to be
depressed rather than advanced by the cur
rent feeling regarding the chances Of a
European war The sale, moreover, was
strictly within the range of legitimate trade,
and in no way affected by speculative con-
siderations one way or the other.
1t is one of the earlier signs that the con-
sumption of the country has overtaken or,
at least has come within reach of its pro-
duction, and that more healthy and profit
able relation between them is likely 70 be
assumed. Whether this sign will be fol-.
lowed by others or whether 1t is only one
of the experimental starts in the direction
of activity that must inevitably precede the
general inoyement, 1t is yet too early to de-
termlne. But the probabilities are In favor
of the FIRST inference, if for no other reason,
because the favorable reaction is sure to
come, and the longer we have waited for 1t
the nearer we must be TO It. The depres-
sion from which we have suffered was not
more surely the consequence Of the undue
activity that preceded It than is the renewal
of activity the inevitable consequence Of the
depression. The feeling that this is so is
not only general among those who have
reasoned il out, but it is amply sustained by
the most careful and continued observation.
The experience Of the bushes world has
ever been that periods of depression and
unwonted activity succeed each other with
the regularity of the return of the seasons,
and that men will not go on In the same
old paths cannot be expected. However,
there will be found some who will take
heed and profit by the past, and to such as
these the business revival, when it comes,
no matter how unduly active 1t may be,
will be permanently benefited.

GEN. GRANTS DISEASE.

The impression appears to be getting
abroad that the doctors do not thoroughly
understand Gen. Grants case. 1t may be
that this impression does them injustice, and
that Gen. Grants present improved condi-
tion is entirely in keeping with the phases
of the disease from which it is believed he
is suffering.
The public will not forget, however, that
on February 21st DR.. Shrady, one of the
attending physicians, wrote that the sensa-
tional reports that Gen. Grant was suffer
ing from cancer of the tongue, which had
beer so industriously circulated, did no ap-
pear to have any foundation All signs of
cancer disease, he wrote, had disappeared.
In two weeks, however, he took an en-
tirely different position, and said very frank
ly that Gen. Grants disease was cancer of
the tongue. Doubtless the doctors have
been entirely sincere in all they have com
municated to the public. The only ques-
ton which now presents itself is, are they
not mistaken respecting the nature of the
diseaseg They gave out statement more
than month ago which they subsequently
admitted was wrong. May they not have
been right in the opinion which they ex
pressed in February.
If Gen. Grant is suffering from cancer of
the tongue there is, of course, no hope of
his recovery The disease may change for
the worst at any moment, and may reach a
fatal termination after the change in a few
hours. 1t is somewhat curious, however,
that Gen. Grant, himself, il he is as he is
supposed to be, looks forward to recovery.
He must doubt that he is suffering from
cancer, otherwise he would not be in such a
hopeful frame of mind.
We are some distance from Gen. Grant,
and consequently have not been able to see
him, but according to our diagnosis of the
disease, based of course upon the descrlp.
tion We had through the press, we have
reached the conclusion that it is bad case
OF mumps or sore throat.

midas YALUE TO ENGLAND

II is certain that England will never let
go her hold on India as long as she is able
to fire a gun. England has received from
India riches 80 great that the amount would
hardly be accepted as correct if il were
made known, but great as is the wealth che
has received she is promised FAR greater in
the near future. India is rapidly becoming
wonderful wheat growing country. In
few years she will be able 10 supply the
English markets with wheat. England de.
pends largely upon this country for her
wheat now, but she is gradually ceasing to
look for her wheat in this direction. Mr..
Thomas H. Dudley, who was United States
Consul at Liverpool during Grants's al
minstraiion, says that In 1879 the wheat ex.
ported from India amounted TO iO56,720
cwts.; in 1881, 7.444,375 cwts in 1882,
19901 ,005 cwts., while in 1893 il amounted
to over A millions of bushels Of wheat
more than half the quantity supplied from
the United States to England in that year.
OF this amount so exported from India, Eng.
land took in 1883 2O,99s,1iO bushels, other
European countries taking the balance.
In quality and yield of -four this India
wheat is equal To the best grown in the
United States. British India, with popu.
lation OF more than 253,OO0,000, has only
about 10000 miles OF railroad. There are
four districts three times as large as The
State OF New York that have not mile of
railroad in them. But this will soon all be
changed. England is taking steps to build
railroads. Labor can be had there lor 10
cents a day, making The cost Of cultivation
10 India less than il can be reduced 10 here
by tbs bost machinery.

A Worthy Candidate.

Mr. Fields Among the many asprants
spoken OF for the next Cerkship of the
county, there Is none more worthy of sup.
port than Capt, James Anderson. Descend
ed from long line of Democratic ancestry,
dating as far back as the days of jefferson,
he best showed his faith in the old princi-
pies OF the party by shoudering his musket
dnring the late war and leading his men
into the thickest of the fight, while many of
his competitors were enjoying their ease at
home. |, therefore, hope that the Democ.
racy OF the county viii show their appre
citation of bis services by giving him their
support.
