RrSSIA AHEAD THUS FAR

According TO the latest dispatches Russia, IN
the new protocol, gets the whole oasis OF
Penjdeh, including Ak-Tepe, ,Akrobat, and Pull
Khatun, while Afghanistan retains Maruchak
and the Zulikar Pass. If this is a correct state
ment of the arrangement Russia has secured all
she set out to acquire, and this III spite OF the
threatening demonstrations of England and the
efforts of the English diplomatsts. What new
evidence the Cars agents discovered to sup
port their claim to Pcnjdeh can only be con-
jcctured but there is certainly no information
at present in the possession OF the public which
can explain the cession of this territory by the
protectors of Afghanistan. Even the Russian
stafl maps until quite recently conceded
Penjdch to the Ameer, and drew the boundary
line at Sarakhs- XII 1ja-Saleh. That line how
ever, must have been abandoned by both sides
in order to give any shadow of legitimacy to
that said to be taken in the protocol, and the
world will naturally be curious TO learn the de-
tails of so singular negotiation.
However the result has been brought
about the fact stands out conspicuOusly
that the interests of the Amecr have been
virtually ignored, and that RI ssia has induced
England to accept boundary which not only
must render the defence of Herat more difficult
than ever, but which may be said TO assure the
successful negotiators Il most advantageous
basis for future operations against India. Under
the circumstances, and with recent events in
view, it seems doubtful whether the work of
the joint boundary commission now appointed
can amount to anything, unless indeed it is only
intended to keep up the semblance of amicable
conference until Russia is prepared for another
movement III advance. Mr. Gladstone's Gov
crnment was bcratcd for yielding too much to
st. Petersburg, but it does not appear that his
Successors have been able to make any better
terms. or that they have improved the situation

A RACE IL LdST.

The thousands of enthusiastic and patriotic
Americans who crowded the boats and lined
the lovely shores of the Bay yesterday were
not disappointed. Their boat won the race.
But the cheers that greeted the performance of
the Puritan were duplicated few minutes later,
when the gallant Genesta with her amiable
owner reached the finish. 1t was not close
race, for the American yacht took the lead and
kept it from the start. At no time could 1t be
called an exciting contest, so mild was the
breeze, so calm was the surface of the Bay and
so wide was the distance between the cutter
and the soop. The satisfaction of the specta-
tors was, of course, immense but their emo
tions were never strained by the prospect OF
defeat for the Puritan.
Yet no such yacht race was ever before
sailed. No such contestants were ever pitted
against each other. Indeed, under like cOndi-
tions no other boats could have got over the
course in seven hours. Outside the Hook there
was good sailing breeze and lumpy sea; but
inside the wind was light and the water
smooth. At one time in the Lower Bay the sails
of both boats seemed to hang lifelessly from
the masts, and they drfted with the tide, yet
the actual time of the Puritan was g hours,
minutes and 3 seconds; of the Gcnesta hours,
22 minutes and Sc seconds corrected time for
the cutter hours, % minutes and "a seconds.
This gave che race to the Yankee sloop by 16
minutes and 10 seconds, corrected time What
does it all prove Some good yachtsmen say
that it proves conclusively that the Genesta
can only beat the Puritan in half gale with
everything reefed down and top-masts housed.
But this is only opinion. The Puritan has won
one race; the Genesta will have two more
chances probably under conditions more
favorable to her-unless to-morrow's race

RACE HOSTILITY ~ C1NADA.


The smallpox epidemic at Montreal has been
the means OF intenslying the race hostility
| which neither custom. time nor juNtaposition
has as yet affected in the Dominion. How
much the persistence Of this feeling - due TO
difference of religion cannot perhaps be estl-
mated, but ii is a safe assumption that the Eng
lish Canadians attribute much of the alleged
backwardness of the French colonists in civz-
alton to the priestly domination under which
they are said 70 live. II is indeed remarkable
that this trial of race admlxturc should have
had so little success, but it seems certain that
progress has for some time, and more markedly
than ever of late, been away from instead OF
toward harmony Probably it would not be
fair 10 regard this case as demonstrating the
impracticability Of working union between
French aud English peoples for If the English
Canadians may be taken rs representative OF
their race the same cannot 50 certainly be said
of the French Canadians.
These latter appear in many respects TO
have ceased progress at point left behind n
century ago by the Frenchmen of France. They
rather represent the conditions of their country
men in the middle OF the eighteenth century
than those which exist to-day, and II Is quite
possible that they would find themselves as
alien TO modern French ways rs they are to
those of their British fellow-citizcns. Nor Is
there any prospect of an impending change In
their state. They are content with II. and
while everything around them is in motion they
prefer to remain still. The question Is whether
a government can be permanently carried on,
an important factor in which is a people
wholly ont of sympathy with all the salient
tendencies Of the prevailing civilization. Al
ready serious symptoms OF DISCRIMINATION
have appeared. The Riel rebellion proved that
the French Canadians sympathize with the
enemies of the Government. The smallpox
epidemic has shown that by mere stubborn
ness and contempt for modern science they can
cndanccr the health Of the whole community.
Such incidents of course increase the difficulty
of adjustment. The Canadian politicians are
of necessity anxious 10 find a common standing
ground, and they are prepared to accept almost
any compromise which promises To defer IN
outbreak. But the prospect does not become
sides have been worked up 10 the point of reck-
less rccTiniuatiOn and abuse by the recent dis
pute over the treatment of the epidemic il
Looks rs though'thcre might be more qualrcing
before there is less Naturally both parties
talk of annexation in these circumstances, but
to us, when they do come, better rccomenda
ton than consists in their inability to live to-
gether peaceably.

THE DANGER ~ ONO.

The importance of the Ohio elect ion about to
take place should not be unierestmatcd by Re-
publcans anywhere Although local issues
disturb the air. the election will have q National
bcaling in its results. The questions that ought
10 prevail in the canvass are broader than the
confines of the State. The decision of the
voters of the State will affect the Republican
National organization and It's future operations
Republican principle is at stake. Tie welfare
of the entire countryis involved. The right Of
franchise is endangered as well for the poor
man at the North as for his black fellow toiler
ut the South. The reports from Ohio, private
and otherwise. indicate close contest between
the parties. The danger appears to lie in the
apathy of Republicans.
With Democratic Administration at Wash
ington and Columbus, the Democrats are
nerved to their strongest efforts to retain the
State. 1t is evident that to carry it for the
Republican cause will require the instant and
cordial cooperation of leading Republicans
from all the States. That will raise the can
vass to the plane of National politics, when
there will be full vote and consequent
victory Ohio is always Republican on a full
vote. Ohio should not be lost through lack of

The whining voice and the creeping unwll-
ling pace attributed to school children by good
authority were not observed yesterday as the
1850 boys and girls started for school on
the opening day after their long vacation. On
the contrary, they stepped off with light foot,
in numbers stronger by 5000 than ever be-
fore. This was a pleasant sight. But thought
ful citizens of the Republic will regret that
10000 children in this city, who should be
leaning to read, write and cipher, have no
chance to learn anything for lack OF school
room.
