SALISBUaY'S SUCCESSES.
RUSSIANS GREATLY IMPRESSED
BY HIS FIISBfNISSS.

Not Remarkably Patent ia Checking
sin-Mai Kitohcner's Denial IN the
Pain case.
LONDON, Aug. 29.--The English Con-
narratives generally start with the as
sumption that, whatever may be their
SHORTCOMINGS and defects Ia domestic
LEGISLATION. they have the monopoly Of
DIPLOMATIC wisdom. ! believe that the
success of a Tory foreign policy is due to
the fact chat. il the Conservatives have
not ,be monopoly OF diplomatic wisdom,
most continental states think they have
tbs monopoly Of frmness and patriotism,
and there is 10 doubt chat they more easl-
ly submit to The demands Of Conserya-
tive ministry than TO tpoRe Of Liberal
one. If the news which comes from every
capltal i'm Europe may be trusted,
Lord Salisbury has obtained ar
unexpected and decided diplomatic tri-
umph; he has persuaded the Russian gov
eminent that when it pledged itself to
surrender Zulhcar to the Amer Of Afghan
istan. and permitted the English TO pass
on the pledge of their ally, It committed
itself TO a full surrender Of the pass and
It's approaches The Russians, finding
that Lord Salisbury makes up his mind,
states lis case clearly, and does not fall
back from his contention, they admire his
firmness aud straightforwardness, ana
grant him his demands. The Anglo
Russian question IS now probably set
tied. and the Conservatives will once
more appear before the constituencies
with the old cry Of peace with honor
Every true-born Brit0n seems 20 come
into this world with q notion tnat, when
any public nuisance or wrong manifests
itself the proper way to put IL right IS 70
hold a meeting about it.
TUE LONDON FOG.
A few winters ago, that old enemy, the
London fog, asserted itself rather alarm
inglv. The Lord Mayor aud a few dwell
ers i'm MiddleseX said 20 themselves: eve
must put q stop to this" and accordingly
held q meeting over il. Whether they re-
solved TO do something terrible to the old
offender I don't know; but what / do
know is that II still boldly shows Itself
with each return Of autumn.
1t would be difficult TO assign a reason
for the great meeting ia Hyde Park last
Saturday. The criminal Law amendment
act has been passed, and 1t would have
been as well to let this ugly subject drop.
for undoubtedly the talk about IL has done
great evil IN polluting thousands Of pure
minds. Whatever their object was, how
ever, the persons who assembled around
the Reformers' Tree on Saturday last
looked very much in earnest, and formed
q serious, orderly crowd. Perhaps the
only thing TO which exception could be
taken was the presence Of a carriage
OF little girls who had apparently
been brought there to touch the
hearts of the mob, for the carriage bore
the devise: "Shall we see the innocent
slainW Mr.. w. T. Stead, editor of the
Pail Nall Gazette, was the hero Of the
day. lie was much applauded during his
speech and later on, as he WAS going
towards the park gates, workingmen
pressed around to shake his hands. There
were many lady speakers, 0ne0f whom
sensibly advised the men assembled
round her not to vote for any candidate
for Parliament whose private character
viii not bear investigation. The demon
stratiOn resembled no other that has ever
been held. Never did so many women
gather together. Yet it Is impossible to
see what good this demonstration can do
10 any creature. To hold meeting to
protest against vice; they might as we'll
have held one to protest against lying,
cheating, etc. The agitation is doing
great deal of good to the Salvation Army
and Gen" Booth. Well, / am glad to
hearkit.
MAI. KITCHENER's DENIAL.
Maj. Kitchener has declared, Just as I
expected. that the accusation brought
against MIN by Mr.. R0chefort, of having
had Olivier Pain shot under his eyes, is
without the slightest foundation. In spite
OF that Mir. ROchefOrt yesterday held his
indignation meeting to protest against the
Assassination Of Pain by the English"
Most abOminable and gratutOus insults
were hurled NJ the head OF every member
Of the English royal family. From the
violence Of the speakers attacks on their
own government. il was evident that the
main object Of the leaders of the move
mcnt was 20 disperage the present French
government and 10 advocate the return
OF the Commune, for tue French ministry
were handled as roughly as Lord Sails
bury and Gen. Wolseley themselves. All
the serious French papers treat the agita-
ton with the supreme contempt it de-
serves.
NJ Ernest Rensn breaches delightful
philosophy; he endeavOrs 10 iDculcate the
duty Of cheerfulness. This is not the sort
OF gospel which il usually taught in Eng
land. Tie English ind life very serious
and the world very sad. 10 NJ. Reran
r1C world is not at all sad. The great
French writer went into Brittany last
week and was entertained at n banquet
Celtic audience ho preached moderation,
calmness, liberation, aud cheerfulnese.
"fanaticism is above all 20 be avoided"
he said 20 them "None understand
better tnan they true equality and liberty,
but they advocated Hberality tor others
no less than for themselves. They were
very religious people, but Were quite
willing that everybody should compose AS

They were even tolerant Of the intolerant

elsni0n, and did not extend 10 action.
Brittany had AZ some periods seemed
auQerstitiOus, but 1T had never been
