ENGLISH POLITICS.

The English Blue Book on the Afghan
question is published. The accounts given
of the manner in which the Gladstone
Ministry and the Salisbury Ministry dealt
with that question are highly fattering to
the Salisbury Ministry, as telegraphed.
At one time the Afghan question threat
ened to engage England and Russia in
war, but happily that was avoided. The
Importance of the question now is the
effect that its final settlement is
liable to have upon English politics.
The course of Lord Salisbury was but
a continuation of the policy of Mr.. Glad
stone, and the tone of his dispatches, as
given to the press, was in no way more
decisive and firm than had been the tone
of the dispatches of the Gladstone Coy
ernment. To whom belongs the credit of
having brought the negotiations between
London and st. Petersburg to success
ful close is a question for the Eng
lish electors to decide so far as such
negotiations affect the present cam
paign. England will eventually have to
abandon her policy of universal protector,
and confine her protectorate to her own
possessions. In English politics to-day
the most important questions are not of
foreign nature but of domestic one, and
in the discussion and treatment of such
questions the Liberals have generally had
the best Of the argument The masses
OF the English people are beginning to
claim their political rights, and each ex-
tension of the elective franchise is but a
step towards the adoption of universal
suffrage without property qualification.
The Liberals as having more confidence
in humanity than the Conservatives, are
far more liable to recognize the claims of
the people, and thereby increase their own
strength. There is also the question of
reforming the House of Lords, and at
some not far distant day this question
must be met How it will be met and how
the House of Lords will be modified it is
impossible to say; but the inevitable
tendencies of the times are towards
Z the curtailment of privileges and the
extension of rights. There is also the
Irish question, question around which
there cluster the blunders and bigotry of
three centuries This is the most inn
pertant and pressing question of any
with which England has had to deal, and
neither Tory or Liberal has ever yet sue
ceeded in treating it successfully. Eng
lish politics have an interest for
Americans much greater than the politics
OF any other country, as the political
genius of the English is much the same
as the political genius Of the American
people, and the English have been the
most successful in the application of lib
eral politics to the affairs of man. ;

PARTY COMPLAINTS.

That President Cleveland is not popu-
lar with the professional politicians and
the s'boys" of the Democratic party is
certain. The latest complaint about him
comes from Brooklyn. 1t seems that the
leaders there have been urging Secretary
Whitney to discharge Republican en-
ployes in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and
this he has absolutely refused to do. His
refusal has caused a great deal of indig-
nation among local leaders, and will no
doubt cause the breach between the
friends of good government and reform,
and the upholders of the spoils system to
be greatly widened. If the Democratic
party can only succeed on the theory that
to the victor belongs the spoils, and that
the end of politics is to obtain control of
the public offices merely for the sake of
the pay of the offices, then the Demo-
cratic party is no better thss the
party it has succeeded. But we do
not take the Democratic party to be such,
and it is certain that when the party pro-
mulgates platform of principles and
elects President upon that platform, the
man so elected and who adheres to the
platform is far more representative of the
party than any ward politician and local
leader. If the employees of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard are honest and competent
men, is there any reason in the world
why they should be removed to make
way for another set of employees? 1t
don't make the least bit of difference
whether the employees of the. Brooklyn
Navy Yard are Republicans or Democrats,
black or white, SO long as they are first

The turn which things have taken with
Editor Stead, of the Pail Mall Gazette, is
comical. He spent much money and
time in exposing the wickedness of Lon
don and in trying to reform her, and for
his pains he is now standing trial for the
very thing he sought to expose. Stead
seems to be what in America is generally
called a crank. There can be no doubt
but that he was thoroughly sincere in his
exposures and believed them, and that
he thought he was doing philanthropic
work. Even when such exposures as he
made are true there is grave question
as to the propriety of making them, as
the evil consequent thereon is almost as
great as the evil sought to be remedied.
But it is farce to try him for the abb
duction of the Armstrong girl.

The Chinese question has assumed a
new phase in California. Sixty Cinnamon

struck, says the telegraph, because the
owners of the factory refused to discharge
the white workmen. 1t is said the strike
was ordered by the Chinese Union of San
Francisco. All this may be true, and all
this may not be true. Probabilities must
be considered even when direct state
mentt are made, and the probabilities are
all against such course on the part of

effect is not altogether healthy to all. A
short time ago too much OF these horse

here. Ed. Springer and Hugh FitZsim-

Springer had his wife with him ut the
dance, and he was drinking freely. See
ing Fitzsimmons and Mrs. Springer about

ousy worked him into II hot wrath, and
he made an assault on FitZsimmons, who
in turn drew n knife and cut Springer on
the wrist, Springer then drew his reVolv-
er, and fired two shots, and Filzslmmons
being handed n revolver by his brother,
returned the fire. None of the shots
took effect. Springer hurried away, and

Robbing T~rcasurcrs.

There seems to be Il gang of fellows
who have concocted schemes for watch
ing and robbing township treasurers.
Several such eases being reported, indi-
eating more than a mere chance or
coincidence, the Cass county Democrat
gives the following details of an attempt
near there:
Thomas Warner lives five and n half
miles southwest Of Atlantic. He is treas
urer of the township of Washington, and
on Wednesday last received for that
township some $500, which he AT once
deposited in one of the banks of this city.
That night he and his wife visited n
~neighboring family, returning home
and Tom was carrying the baby. Arriv-
ing at home the door was found open,
but nothing was thought about it. His
wife entered the house closely followed
by Tom, who thought he heard II noise as
he entered. On the lookout just rs his
wife struck II match he saw Il man with
a, lifted club ready to strike him.
Quick as ihuiiGAt. he grabbed the
fellow by the THROAT, "'. "A
fellow broke loose and again at
tempted TO strike him Handicapped
with the baby, he nevertheless grabbed
the club, when the fellow broke and ran.
iolh puh to" Nv plbl ilih BhNt tIllSt,
running him into n barb wire fence,
which the fellow succeeded IN getting
over, dropping II handsome bulldog re-
volver in doing so, Toms wife cried
out TO him that there was another man at
the house. and Tom returned, but not in
time to see the second. A pair OF red
yarn mittens was found in the house.
The supposition is that these men knew
that Tom had drawn the money that day,
and had gone to his house with the in.
tention of getting it, even though murder
was necessary to accomplish the under.
taking: The escape from the designs of
the villains was a lucky one, and is
largely due to Toms nerve.
Shelby county has recently had similar
experiences. A burglar secured 500 at
the residence of John Fritz, in Jackson
township, and at the home of Mr.. /. Me
Cord, in Grove township. a most daring
attempt was made to secure $500 of
school funds last Monday night. Fortu-
nately Mr.. McCord carried II large
amount in gold on his person and the
rest had been slowed away in an unusual
spot thus frustrating the designs of the
rObber.

Average Animal Cost of Living.

u hhua'iIAhA RhAiCNlisl
How many persons have even a rough
idea of the average sum upon which by far
the larger part Of the citizens of the United
States are fed, clothed and housedl A re-
gent statistician estimates that 50 per cent.
OF the population OF this country is sup
ported by from IS to 80 cents per capita a
day. At the latter figure this makes Sl642 Is
as the average annual cost of living, but, as
by average we moan the balance between
extremes, there must be many persons who
have not even this sum to live upon.
That 90 cents a day Is a generous estimate
will be admitted when it is remembered
that many mill operatives earn only from
s. to 81 a week, and that the wages Of farm
hands run from SEQ to $50 a month and that
on these sums several persons are often sup
ported. When it is remembered, too, that
some other human beings have a yearly
income equal 70 what Is necessary for tho
subsistence of 800 or 1000 of these average
mortals, the startling contrast between
the extremes of our modern society must
be most evident.
