THE USES OF DIPLOMACY.

For three or four weeks, possibly six
now, England and Russia have been at
serious misunderstanding over the
Afghan boundary question. During
that time the rest of the world has stood
with wide-open ears and eyes to catch
or ace the faintest note or spark Of war.
Business everywhere has been in a
strained and unnatural condition. In
Europe, where values were shaky, they
have fluctuated somewhat, while firm
here, though hopeful, where they are
popularity supposed to be on the point Of
rise at the first signal of war.
This strained condition OF affairs, this
being on the tiptoe of expectation
raised. while unfortunate extremely for
business, is one of the conditions Of di-
plemacy. The simplest question that
could in a moment, almost, be settled
by men when dealing with private bust
ness affairs, must require long, tedious
months Of settlement rs between The
same individuals when public business
is to be transacted. The longer tho pc
riod OF settlement required, the create
the diplomacy, it seems.
But while tho premiers Of london anC
81. Petersburg are thus consuming
time and causing a painful halt in bust
ness throughout tho world, the maya
! and war stations in their respective ON
pires are Working night and day, an
the two great peoples being placed o
= such a lighting footing as neither ha
: known for 50 years. They are, in
/ word, now using that convenient IN
: strumont known as diplomacy to obtai
C time, preparatory 10 a most stupendou

The New Workers. have been very
much frightened by the suggestion that
tie Russian cory Ute, which sailed into
their port some days ago, was lying in
walt for cunarder, Guion, National
Liner, or any steamer that plies be-
tween that pors and Europe, under
British colors. A proposition was on
foot to hire the Yosemite, or some other
fast hay Dor steamer, to 90 out and warn
the incoming steamer of the Strelokz's
presence. Their apprehensions now are
not so lively, perhaps, rs they were
some days ago; but would II not be bet
ter for these steamers to be sccom-
panied by an American craft In their
voyages, to at least take on board the
American citizens who would other
wise be subjected to very serious incon

Cry MARSHAL ARNOLD, in his re-
port to the city council, states that only
46 arrests have boon made In this city
during the past year, for theft. This Is a
remarkably small showing Tor the num-
Der OF theits reported during the past Il
months. The number OF burglars ar
rested reached but eight. The HERALD
believes the police force Of Dallas gener.
ally arc active, vigilant officers, but the
citizens win no sstonished In porusing
the report of the marshal that 80 few Of
these classes OF criminals have been de-
teotod and punished. Only 50 men hav,
been found with concealed weapons on
their persons, and yet there 10 not 1
