q way that is very annoying and that makes
him very unpopular. There will be strug.
gle between Warner and Bland for the lead
ership on the silver question. Warner is
vain of his discovery that Cleveland had
designs on silver. and Bland glories in the
title of ''Siver Dollar Bland" and will not
give up his claim to the leadership without
a struggle.
Another man who will set in for long
fight and strong one with President Cleve-
land on the silver question is Senator Beck.
Indeed there is g suspicion that Beck does
not especially fancy Mr. Cleveland, anyway.
Perhaps Mr. Cleveland omitted to ask Mr..
Beck's advice in making up his slate any

The RieL Rebellion.

Re and his half-breeds have revolted be-
cause the Dominion government has pail
no attention to their demand to be treated
like their neighbors in Manitoba. When
Manitoba became part Of the Dominion,
the half-breed residents each received
grant Of 24O acres of land. The half.
breeds Of the Northwest territories ask for
the same treatment. They also want the
territories erected into provinces, public
lands sold for the establishment of hospi-
tails and schools, and better care taken OF
dependent Indians Whether these de-
mands are reasonable or not, the govern
ment has chosen to ignore them. Similar
disregard of the rights or sentiments OF
the native population caused the insurrec-
ton Of 1869 In Manitoba, of which Riel
was also the head. The rebellion Is al
ready assuming large proportions, II the
reports are not exaggerated, and bids fair
to involve the Indian tribes with their
halt. breed brothers. The population ~
the four Northwest territories was nearly
10000 in 1881, aud by rapid immigration
has largely increased since. The troubles
which have now arisen are likely to check
immigration for some time, besides being
source of considerable cost and trouble to
the Dominion government. The latter has
the alternative of putting the insurrection
down by force or of concilating the rebels
by granting their demands.

Tha Var Cloud.

The war cloud seems to hang threaten
ingly over Afghanistan. England and Rus
sia are in trouble about certain boundary
matters that appear to be OF hardly sufh-
cient Importance for two nations to go TO
war over, but Eugland's alliance with Al
phauistan requires her to prevent any in
yasiou of Afghan territory, and Russia has
pledged herself to respect the Afghan fron-
tier. But there is much confusion OF Ideas
and 4 marked conflict Of claims as to where
the Afghan frontier lies. Russian and Ar
CHAN posts occupy ground in the disputed
territory, which England claims to De
part Of Afghanistan, and Russia to be out
side of the Afghan frontier. collision
between these outposts might serve as the
spark to kindle great war.
The territory in dispute is very rich and
would be populous but for the Turkman
raids to which 1t is subject Herat Is the
principal city and in case Of fighting will
be the strategic point of great Importance
Within the disputed territory there are
Russian detachments at Pull Khatun and
at Ak.robut. At PeDj.dsh the Afghans are
in possession. Gen. Lumsden, with small
English force as escort, Is 10 or near the
Robat Pass. The Russians claim that Al
ghansltan was the aggressor In occupying
the territory in contest. About the LIST OF
July, 1884, the Afghans took possession OF
Pepj-deh. The Russians retorted by sez-
Inc pul.;.Khatnn Then in January last,
when the Afghaps advanced to Sari-Yari,
the Russians moved forward and occupied
Ak-robut.
Both England and Russia appear to be
making extensive prepaI ations for active
service. Russia's military force is estimat'
ed at between one aud two million men,
about double Englanj's numerical strength.
England's naval force, on the other hand,
is nearly double that Of Russia. II the
conflict commences it may be long and Sc
