THE THREATENING wAR-oLoUD.

HE IhtNbA IbNlNu WhENObOObs
According to cable sdvices the Anglo
Russian war.cloud grows more threaten
ing from day to day. The London Daily
News of yesterday says that II "Gen.
Komsroff s reports were the only answers
Russia would give there would be little
need of the formality Of declaring war.
Guns would go off themselves. We have
rather to fear a b~land-evaslve answer. F"
This opinion, which cannot be considered
otherwise than correct, is based on the
experience of the past. The mistrust on
the part of the English is accounted for
by the manner In which the Russians
have pushed their advances In Central
Asia. For fifty years every advance has
been preceded by an assurance that 1t
was not to take place. When Khiva war
captured by Gen. kaufman in 1873, In
spite of solemn assurances that nothing
of the kind was In contemplation, the
car declared that he had given
him strict orders to evscuate the
place Immediately, but he afterward
acqueisced In he generals representations,
that this was impossible, as If he did, the
Khanate would become a prey to the
wandering Turkomans. Similar assur.
ances were given subsequently, that Mer,
was In no way an object of Russian de-
sire, but within three or four years thi'
too was seized on, the reason being The
turbulence and Eaggresslvenesu of the
Tekke Turkomans who had their head
quarters there. All this, and a goot
deal more, has produced In England
sort of passionate belief in Russian per
fdy which Komaroff's fighting withou
orders only intensifes.
England regards Russia as her natura
enemy. 1t is the general belief anon,
the English that Russia has formed ane
maintained the purpose TO aggrandiz
herself by the acquisition of the territor,
adjoining her, and that this aggrandize
ment so threatens England's possession
in India that q war, at some time or an
other, Is inevitable. The indications ar,
that it will be preclpitated at an earl,
day. Such seems to be the opinion o
the leading newspapers, the prominen
military men and officials of England. 1
is believed that Lord Duffsrin, the vice.
roy of India, entertsins a similar opinion
The evidence concerning him is that h
thinks the time for war Is at hand-tha
the advance of Russia menaces Indls, ant
that it must BIO met, now.
On the other hand, the Russians ar,
anxious for war. The growth of tn,
empire in Central Asia Is the aim an,
object of the war party, which is Yer,
powerful In Russia, and which has beef
preparing for a conflict with Englan1
and waiting for a favorable opportunity
That opportunity seems to have com
with the failure of the English in tn,
Soudau campaign. If the Russian wa
party can influence the car, and 1t l
very likely that it can, there will be war
and war on a gigantic scale. Meantime
England indicates her readiness for tn
conflict by the moat active preparation
for strengthening her forces on LAM
and sea. She does not propose to b
deceived by any ''bland- evasive" answe
from Russia, but intends to be prepared
for any emergency, and thorough.
equipped to check sny advance that ma,
be stealthily attempted while the wa
correspondence is pending.

The New York Journal continues to
grow In popular favor at such a
rapid rate that it's circulation will soon
reach 250,0 O0. In anticipation of such
an enormous circulation the Journal has
just put in four new perfecting presses
at an expense of 500, 600. These presses
will be capable of handling a daily Issue
of $50 1000. No paper In the world ever
attained such an immense circulation as
the Journal has, In so short q time.

WHATEVER may be thought of the ad,
vantage which Mr.. Paxton has gained in
exchanging his lots on the corner OF
Eighteenth aud Farnam streets for the
old court house property, every intelli-
gent person mnst admit that the exchange
between county and city Is of inoalcula-
bic advantage. In the first place, we
shall now have q safe building for the
archives of the city which certainly need
protection against possible fire. In the
next place, the controversy between
county and city is settled forever. Mr..
Paxton will doubtless go right on and
erect a large and costly building on the
old court house site, thereby adding to
the taxable property. Had not this ar
rangementbeen communicated the property
would have lain idle for years until the
supreme court rendered q decision. The
city can now 60 on and make all
preliminary arrangements for building
q fre-proof and m~uoh.needsd city hall on
ground that Is In every respect as eligible
and desirable as the old court
house location. 1t Is opposite the new
court house and within a stones throw of
the county Jail. Last, but not least, the
county commissioners are now able to
take the necessary steps to protect the
new court house by building a retaining
wau that will secure 1t against possible
damage from land slides. The commits
sionsrs deserve a great deal of credit for
the care and diligence which they exhib-
tied In conducting the negotiations. and
finally getting them settled amicably and
to all parties.

If Omaha only had a mayor like
Vaughan, of Council Bluffs, this city
would get more freq advertising than it
has had for years. Vaughsn's card is a
model for any mayor. He has invaded
Washington, and when he sent his card
to Grover Cleveland the president at
once ordered the usher Of the White
House to admit the Council Bluffs curl
osity as he wanted to gaze on him.

A Letter written by General Grant
in 1861.

III Iooh
The following letter, written be Gen
ersl Grant from Galena to bis father-in,
law, Frederick Dent, then Of St. Louis,
has never before been Published, and Ia
| of special intereat at the present time,
when the illustrious writer Is the object
of q whole nations sympathy. We do
not remember any other letter from the
general written at such an early date In
which the whole subject Of the war Is SO
fully trsated:
GALEsA, April 10, 1861.-Mr. F. Dent:
DEAR SIR have but very little time to
write, but as In these exciting times we
are very anxious to hear from you, and
know of no o!her way but by writing first
to you, / must make time. We get but
little news by telegraph fror9 st. Louis,
but from all other points of the coun-
try we are hearing ell the time.
The times are indeed startling, but
now is the time, particularly in the Dor.
der slave states, for men to prove their
love of country. l know 1t Is hard for
men to apparently work with the repub-
lican party, but now all party distinctions
should be lost sight of, and every true
patriot be for maintaining the integrity
of the glorious old stsrs and .tripss, the
constitution and the Union. The north

the feelings of the people. The govern
ment can call into the field not only 75,-
900 troops, bat ten or twenty times 49,
600 if it should be nece. sary, and find
the means of maintaining them, too. 1t
Ia all a mistake about the northern pock-
cts being SO sensitive. In times
like the present no people are more ready
to give their own time or of their abund-
ant means. No impartial man can conceal
from himself the fact that In al these

The Fool Friend.

! But what shall we do with the
warm, personal friend who sets up
nights to love us but hurts us in every
corner by his indiscretion? We can
not whip him and throw him away.
We cannot get him shut up in an in
sane asylum. because the asylum was
not designed for idiots. twas made
for people who once had brains. 1t is
a conumdrum which more than one of
US has given up. II the fool friend
could have his jaws locked with a
time lock, and then fed by an atten-
dant though the vest-pocket, we
could then set the time. lock to open
after election or just before breakfast
on the day OF judgment, or at such
other date as we desired, and all
would be well, but you cannot do
t,at. The jaw of the fool friend wags
on and on till the goose OF the one he
loves best on earth is cooked to q
rich, deep brown. An enemy may
say mean things of you, but they lose
force because people know at once
by his bitterness that he is your ene-
nv, but lie who knows your inmost
heart, who knows what salary
you receive and how much il lacks OF
maintaining you, how mean you are
in your family and how pleasant you
are in other peoples families, how
you smile through the day and snore
through the night, how earnest you
are in your labors toward reform in
everything except your own habits,
and a thousand other little glimpses
into your home life which none but q
friend may know, when he has no
brains to balance his warm affection
fr you, think what ruin he can fur
nish you at carload rates.
