The obscure mutterings of a disposition to
refuse to confirm the Presidents appointees
where Republicans have been removed are
sufficient to show that Mr.. Cleveland has
been wise in making haste slowly with his
removals. To precipitate contest with the
Republican Senate at too early period would
be imprudent.

The vigor with which our new Administra.
tion has acted in this case is refreshing. OF
late years so little spirit has been shown on
such ocasions that Commander Kane had a
partial excuse for his backwardness. Let us
hope that we have entered upon a new era
and that when an exigency arises our naval
officers will know how to follow Ingraham' 5
fine example. One of the first studies of
naval officers should be to understand their
rights and duties in such cases. This is the
more necessary in a country which has no
respectable consular or diplomatic system.
Our naval officers should remember that
most of the real emergencies they will ever
be called on to face will be of the kind which
brought such deserved reprimand upon
Commander Kane, and prepare themselves
by careful study of International law and
precedents.

The British resources for war in Asia are
very great. True, the force of English troops
in India is small, about 6S, 900 men of all arms
and grades. But the native army, officered
by Englishmen and in high state of eff
cheney, number l27, 900. This could be re.
cruited to any extent. Then the feudatory
princes have armies numbering about
100000 They are all apparently we'll dis
posed, and the principal ones have offered
their forces to the Viceroy. They would
doubtless all be eager to have their troops
employed and paid by the British. Nor,
while their loyalty is less certain, will the
Afghsns themselves be mean allies. The
most warlike of the native troops. the Sikhs,
Ghoorkas, and Pathans call the Afghans the
bravest of all soldiers. This is doubtless a
tradition ever since the Afghans in 100l CON
quered India, where the line of Afghan
Kings reigned 500 years.

Tha, European powers have not already
taken possession of the lsthmus, upon some
of the grounds which its barbarous people
SO freely offer, is due solely to their respect
for the superiority of the American interests
as proclaimed in the Monroe Doctrine. The
primacy of the United States on this conti-
nent is always tacitly recognized, though,
also, for prudential reasons, automatically
disputed, by all the Powers. But, continu-
ing indefinitely to neglect our duty TO pre-
serve order aud protect property, and con-
finuing to forego our opportunities for the
expansion of our influence and territory, is
there not danger that the chance we lose
will some time be seized by France, Ger
many, or Englandf Unless this finally
happens all the inductions of historical ex-
perience and common sense will be falsifed.

Should war, however, break out we do not
in the least doubt the result. Russia can no
more overcome England than overgrown Per-
sia could conquer Greece. The Anglo Saxon
is now, as he has been for eight hundred years,
the best soldier in the world. And intelli-
gent courage, as was so often proved by the
Greeks and Romans, is after all the best
thing in war. With a warlike race like the
English, red.tapeism may put incompetents
like Wolseley and McNeill in command, but
grea. war would almost certainly develop
capable generals. And Sir Frederick Rob
erts, V. c., who would play leading par,
in war with Russia, has already proved his
mettle, and, SO far as actual achievement is
concerned, is the first OF Englands younger
soldiers, for the leading heroes of the grea,
mutiny are now too old for service.

TnE Perry IN PERSIA.

From time immemorial opium has
been grown in Persia in the neigh
borhood Of Yezd, and enough was
always produced there to supply the
demands of the native market.
Nine out of ten of the aged In Persia
take from one to five grains of the
drug daily; it is largely used by the
native physicians, and considerable
export was kept up via Meshed to
Central Asia. During the cotton.
famine caused by our civil war the
attention of the Persian ryot was
turned to the cultivation of the cot
ton bush; but cotton soon became
hardly worth growing, save the small
amount required for home manufac-
ture, and the villagers throughout
the centre and south gradually
turned their attention to the culliva-
ton Of the poppy. Year by year
this crop has become a more favorite
one; and the result has been that
grain growing has been much neg
lected. with the effect of raising the
price in some districts.
In the neighborhood Of Ispahan,
as far as the eye can reach, nothing
but fields Of poppies a.e to be seen.
with a small patch here and there of
wheat or barley, which the cultiva-
tor produces for his own use or to
give some rest TO his land. The
white variety of the poppy is the one
that is grown. Ii is sown broadcast
and very thickly. and when it first
comes up resembles very abundant
crop of dandelions. This redund-
ance is soos reduced by the ryot, who
with a short curved knife hacks away
superfluous plants till those that are
left stand some six inches from each
other. The reducing process has to
he gone through many times, aud
the ground kept clear Of weeds until
the plant is six inches high. The
fields are also irrigated once week
until the buds are about to burst into
bloom. tits this irrigation, probably,
that accounts for the inferiority 10
the percentage of morphia in the
Persian opium. And now that the
poppies are in flower and the petals
are about TO fail. the ryots, under
the direction of men from the neigh
borhood Of Yezd, who travel all over
Persia TO superintend the gathering
of the crop aud its subsequent prep
aration. begin to collect the opium
from the plant. This is done by
scoring the seed d-vessels with q small
three bladed knife, which makes
three gashes an eighth of an inch
long. The operation is performed in
the afternoon. From these gashes
the opium exudes in tears, which are
collected at eaIly dawn by scrsping
with piece Of glass or knife. II
unfortunately heavy shower Of
rain should fall, q large proportion
or even all the opium may be lost.
This gashing and scraping Is repeat

The poppies. after the opium is ex-
tracted, are used as fodder.
