THE WORLD MpVFS,

TIE failure to pass the Mexican Pension
Bill, with amendments, was not by any
means a defeat. The time and labor ex-
pended in urging it were not lost. 1t all
contributed 10 the very necessary education
Of the people in the principles embodied in
The amendments. The disposition Of the
people IS naturally to forget what it owes
TO hose who have done so much for the
Nation. This is not because peonle are self
i,h Or neglectfui but it is simply q charaC-
sezislic Of human nature. Tue duties of thc
day and the cares Of life cngross Our atten-
tiou, and induce forgeffulness Of things not
continually presented to us, but our people
are generous and are prompt enough to
recognize obligations which are recalled to
thcic minds. This is virtually done by the
agitation Of the Mexican Pension Bill, and
considerations are brought to the peoples
mud which will bear rich fruit in
any attempts TO secure future legislation.
We see everywhere manifestations of a
greater disposition TO recognize the services
Of soldiers and TO properly care for those
who are broken down ia health and depend
emit. We must not allow this work TO be
nulIided or the people TO relapse into for
gstfalness again until we secure some such
legislation as that contemplated in the
amendments to the Mexican Pension Bill.
IKE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, for its part, does
not propose to allow an effort to he unmade
that VIII secure this desired end, and ask,
the assistance Of every soldier and soldiers
friend IN the country.

and the depression in the price OF sugar,
there was most substantial growth III the
sorghum industry last year. 1T Rio Grande,

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.


Although the promise of the Russian Gov
eminent that her forces shall advance no
further on the Afghan frontier has ayerted for
the time being 4 rupture with England,
there can be no doubt that before long the
Lion and the Bear will cease growing and
showing their teeth at one another and come
to actual blows The movement of the
Russians in Afghanistan was probably to
try the temper Of the British Government,
and see whether the old feeling Of nervous
ness in regard to India was still at fever
heat; and the prompt and decided action of
the English has shown Russia that any at
tempt on her part to occupy territory any
nearer to Hindostan than she is already, will
be resented st once with yigor by the Eng
lish. For many years past the Cars have
gazed with coyetous eyes on India-thc pos
session of which would undoubtedly make
Russia the richest and most powerful coun-
try on earth Russia, for the most part, is
barren and cold, the only really rich and
fertile portion of her territory lying in the
south of Europe. Conld she obtain posses
sion Of India the most superficial observer
will see what a vast acquisition that splendid
territory would be. Her empire would then
reach from the Arctic Sea TO Cape ComOrin,
as she would soon gobble up that part of
China lying between the borders OF Siberia
and the Himalaya Mountains. But il is by
no means likely that the other European
countries would allow her to do that, even
surprising England was unable 10 protect
a territory extending from the Baltic Sea to
the Pacific Ocean and from The Arctic Sea TO
the Indian Ocean, and able to draw On the
almost inexhaustible resources of India,
would be a constant menace to every coun-
try in Europe.
England is fully aware what she would
lose in letting India go, and has shown in
hundred ways Of late years her dctermina-
ton TO hold on to the land of the MogUls if
such thing lies within her power. All her
actions for some time past have been with 4
view of strengthening her position in the
East and lessening RuSsia's chances of ac-
quiripg a Southern Empire. The struggle
England made to obtain possession Of the
Suez canal her occupation of Cyprus, her
interference in Egyptian affairs, and her de-
termination TO have on the throne of At
ghanistan Prince friendly to her, have all
had decided bearing on this point and some
years back, when gorgeous show was gotten
up in India, and all the tributary Princes
and potentates from the Himalaya to Cape
Ccmorin were called together to hear Queen
Victoria declared Impress Of India, it was
really intended for nothing but an emphatic
declaration TO the world and the people of
Hindostan that England intended to exert
every energy to hold her Umpire in the East.
The world will not probably have long to
wait for developments as to Russia's designs,
for although she has agreed to advance no
farther into Afghanistan she has not with
drawn her troops from the advanced posi-
ton on the road to Herat she now occupies,

GEN. GRANTS CONDITION.

The news from Gen. Grants bedside
during the week was all Of the same melan-
choly tenor as previous reports.
The means taken TO secure the patients
comfort were reasonably successful. There
was a reduction in the pain he feels and a
great improvement in his digestion. His
spirits had risen, and his mind was clearer.
But in spite of all these the dread disease
is daily working its way toward the citadel
of life and making the end nearer and more
certain. Every day the physicians find its
ravages extending, and less hope of even a
temporary arrest Of its swift progress.
Human power has reached its limit. It is
n striking illustration Of the weakness of our
boosted knowledge Of nature and power over
her. Gen. Grant is to-day admired and
honored by more people than any Other liv-
ing man. There would be placed at his
service, if of use. more wealth, ingenuity,
skill, and mental ability. than could be COM
mandcd by any other man who exists. Yet
all the wealth of Croesus-all that love can
suggest or money can buy-all the resources
of the healing art, with lis millions of skilled
followers-cannot eradicate one little spot of
flesh-mildew, nor stop its eating its way di-
rectly into the arteries Of life.
All that sorrowing world can do is to
stand by and see Gen. Grant swiftly die.

NORTH CAROLINA has gotten up 4 small
edition Of the amended Mexican Pension
Bill for her old soldiers. The Legislature
has passed law to pension any North Car
olinians who were in the "service of the
State" during the late war, and are now
disabled, at the rate of $50 year. The
amount is small, but it is valuable as a
recognition Of the principles that dependent
soldiers are the proper charge of the com
munities which they served in the days of
their youth and strength.

BRAZIL is also moving in the matter of
producing her own sugar, and is going about
it on the plan that has the merit Of novelty
at least. She expects eventually to raise
the sugar for the world although we do not
see where she is going to market much of it,
since the only countries which now buy for
eign sugar are England and America The
plan is to establish central plantations at q

eminent of certain annual return to the
owners upon their investment. In some IN
stances this guarantee is of per cent, aud
in others of Z. The central plantations will
probably have the very expensive plant
which is necessary to reduce the juice of
the cane to sugar, and so will foster and
encourage other planters in the ncighbor-
hood to go into the business of producing
such quantities of cane as their acres or
convenience will permit.

IS THE NEGRO VALUABLE WORKER:
Northern Copperheads used TO say he WAS

thing on scientific principles, for the reason
that lie has too recently emerged from the
sloth and improvidence of barbarism to
be competitor in the fields OF labor with
races that have had millenia Of training in
civilization, where he has not had centuries );
but the Spanish ConquistadOres found him
much more valuable laborer than the
Indians Of Mexico and Peru; and in the
last century the Southern planters demon
strated that he was q much moro valuable
laborer than the poor whites whom they
gathered mp in England by criminal process
and other forms of distraint, and brought to
America to work their lands. They are now
testing in California how he compares with
Cinnamon, and so far the trial has resulted
in his favor. He has proved himself better
laborer in the vineyards and fruit farms than
the coolies imported from China, and it looks

of Utah. If military record has any influence
to determine the selection there VIII be no

There was no more gallant cavalryman in

enlisted at Is, and rose rapidly through all
the intermediate grades, until brevcted Colo
mel for his splendid bravery st WayneSboro,
March 2 1865. 1t was then that, carrying the
new banner sent to the regiment by the ladies
Of Rochester, he charged with his COM
rades into Jubal Early's forces and captured
1850 prisoners, II battle flags, six guns,
$4,000 stands Of arms. 200 horses and mules
and 25O wagons. Col. Compson was thanked
by Sheridan and Custer on the fed, and sent
by the former with the captured banners TO

gress gave him u medal and q vote Of thanks,
with the rank of brevet Colonel, " fer gal
