temperance men, points to what has been accom-
plished il the South for temperance where the
Democrats are in power. This is good illustration
of the folly to call it by no other name, of such
professional temperance st. John. In the
South there has been hardly any attempt to push
the third party prohibitory movement. What has
been done there has been accomplished by nom
partisan effort the chief concern OF the wiscst
friends OF temperance having been to keep it out OF
politics. If like wisdom had been shown in the
North much more might have been accomplished.

The feeling in Lower Canada over RiePs conyic-
tion and the counter demonstrations it gives rise to
among the people Of Upper Canada, threaten politi-
cal quarres of unusual violence. The French-Can-
adams appear determined to put to the test their
assertion that the Government dare not allow
Rie to be executed, and the Orangemen on their
side preparing to bring to bear all the pressure
they can to prevent reprieve. In these circum-
stances the obvious doubt about the sanity OF the
prisoner ought to furnish neutral for the two
parties, and it may yet do 80 unless the intemper-
ance aud heat of the debate should force matters
into position fatal to compromise. 1t cannot be

become dangerous If not dealt with in time
and at present there does not appear to be any dis
position or ability so to deal with it.

RUDENEss OF SOME EDITORS.
Aggravating Discourtesics which some
writers Have to Endure.


II is very well that the matter of edito-
rial discourtesy to authors should have an
airing. One of the leading monthly peri |
odicals of this country desires its con
tributors to use sheets of paper of GER

ing. Nevertheless, this excellent and In
all other respects most scrupulously
courteous magazine sometimes re
turns declined Ms. folded and

were sent without folding. IN revanche,

The Case to be Carried from the Circuit
Court to the Supreme Court.

CINCINNATI, Nov 6.-IntereSt in the

from the fact that the Circuit Court has
rendered Il decision upon the mandamus

three other candidates for election as
State Senators, averring that the canvass
board was proceeding to do its work IL
legally, and asking the court TO compel 1t
to count the returns according to law and
TO issue certificates to them instead of to
the Democratic candidates. To this the
defendants had filed IL motion to strike
out the material averments of the petition
as irrelevant and insufficient TO support
the demand in the petition. The court
considered in detail the aNcrmentS Whlcll

into the causes and reasons that have brought
about the crisis What is Russia's object in
gradually but surely approaching India? What
does she desire there or elsewhere? Why is
England so alarmed at every step, and APP
parently fearful of the result?
But to understand the course of events and
to answer tntelligibly to ourselves questions
like these we must separate the general causes
of difficulty from the present dispute over the
line of frontier
The advance Of Russia in Asia has been marked
by many phases: First, the conquest of Siberia
bv the Cossacks in the sixteenth century and
the gradual extension of Russian colonization to
the coast of the Pacific, whole Asiatc tribes be-
ing made nominally Russian subjects without
any particular intention their part of fulfill
ing duties, but simply for the purpose OF re-
ceving the presents customary on such occa-
sions. This continued through the whole OF the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Then,
beginning about thirty years ago. a continued
pushing forward OF the Russian outposts on the
southern frontier of Siberia into the steppes, the
subjugation, whether nominal or real, OF various
tribes of Kirghiz and kalmucks, until these Gull
minated in the CONQUEST of Tocrkistan and lash
kend by Gen. Tchernayeff, speedily followed by
the occupation OF Samarcand. After this Box
hara was made close ally: Khiva was subdued
in 1873; Khokand was annexed shortly alter

Naples, the Unclean.

lucy Hooper in Philadelphia Telegraph
Ii ever there is an international ex-
hibition of stenches Naples will GER
tainly take the medal of honor. She
has her clean quarters as other cities
have their dirty ones, namely
as an exception to the gen
eral rule. She has her elegant
streets-the lovely Chiaja, than which
no more charming city drive exists in
the world, and the brilliant Via di
Roma, formerly the Toledo, full of
handsome shops, but they are as
and even there the reek of sewer-gas
poisons the air. Everything smells
badly" wrote Aurelien Scholl of the
hot weather of last summer, 1.-THE men,
the women, the animals, the houses,
the streets and the sea-" He never
came to Naples or he would have du-
plicated his remarks and applied them
to that much over-rated place. Apart
from its comparable situation, the
beauty of Naples has been wonderful
ly exaggerated. 1t keeps no vivid
architectural surprises for the stroller
through its streets as does Rome.
And everywhere there is dirt. The
streets are piled and smeared with
filth or ankledeep indust. The houses
are smeared and soiled and the ami
mails are unkempt and miserable look
ing Frowsy women, to whom brushes
and combs and soap and water are
unknown quantities in the problem Of
life, sit in the doorways. The men
the women, the children ofthe lower or

indescribable dirt And all this I'M
cleanness is about you and around
you the whole time. You cannot get

OF departure the horror is about you
and around you continually It's
odors are in your nostrils and it's
hldeouss sights before your eyes. In
other cities you can keep away from
the dirty quarters. Nobody in Paris
needs to get into the ragpickers' de-
mesne, nor is possible to stroll into it
by chance. But here the dirt pursues
you like a foul reptile And it is well
if it's poison do not creep into your

come into possession of that country its
people will be given a government practi-
cally their own, like that which exists in
Canada. Englishmen sheer at the posi-
bility that Russia could ever conduct a
government upon these liberal principles,
but Colonel Matson says that in the case Of
Finland, with which he is thoroughly famil-
lar, the people are more contented and
prosperous under Russian control than they
were when the country was attached to
Sweden, and he adds that when he last
went through Finland he was constantly as
sured that its people would not go back to
their former government even if they had
the chance. The Indian leaders are de-
sirous of having some powerful nation en-
gagged in the protection of the country for
the reason that if the people were left to
themselves the Mohammedams and Bud
dhists would instantly fall out and go to
fighting among themselves. They have had
quite enough of British supremacy, which
has ruined the country and set its people
back into more profound condition of
servitude than is known anywhere else in
the semi civilized world.
