The latest newsfrom Europe Is TO the effect
that war between Great Britain and Russia
IS regarded as certain. The Gar has sent
an ultimatum to Great Britain demanding
that the latter shall accept Rnssia's prn
posed boundary line between Turkestan
and Afghanistan. Ii Great Britain refuses
TO accept this boundary Russia will proceed
to occupy Herat, This ultimatum amounts
in reality TO a declaration of war between
England and Russia. Actual hostilites may
I've deferred for one or two weeks, but the
vital questions at issue have assumed such
magnitude HAT no pacific measures offered
either by Russia or England could possibly
alter the warlike status or stem the current
Of public sentiment in that direction.

We are glad TO see that the courts are
,hrottling allrepudiation Of bonds and debts.
They have always compelled cities and
counties TO pay, but by the eleventh amend.
ment TO the Constitution States seemed to
have saved themselves this power 10 re.
pndiase. That amendment provided that
State could not be sued by citizen or citi-
Gems Of another State. When Mississippi
repudiated II put itself In the shelter of that
provision and cheated its creditors. Vir.
ginia, which tried to swindle its creditors,
provided that the State bond coupons were
not good for taxes. The Supreme Court, by
u majority decision. has held that they are,
and that creditor can compel the official
by a suit against him to take the coupons.
That nullifies the security the eleventh
amendment has hitherto given to the State
We have no manner of doubt that the de-
cision is rot good law, but II is excellent
honesty and that is better.

The Policy Shops.

The Morning Neios has in most public
spirited and enterprising manner made an
expose of the ''policy business" as carried
on in this city, in direct violation of law.
The press can do no moro than place ON
public record such facts. The police have
now no further excuse for inaction. A de-
tailed list of many of the policy deus has
been given by the journal referred to.
Ousted fIom their own city, Philadelphia
sharpers have found harborage and plenty OF
profit in their despicaDle practices here.
The Morning Nems holds an enviable role
in the estimation of decent people, when il
is the butt and object of threats and ridicule
originating from the keepers OF policy deu'
and their frequenters.
We trust that the war aga nst these chez
alters d'indastfie so vigorously inceptcd b.

ecuted until the vermin become extinct il

A Sudden Call.

On last Tuesday m )rning when Levi Hill
leges left his family for his accustomed du-
ties he felt so much stronger than he had
done for weeks that he commented upon the
promises which the future held out to him.
But within two hours after leaving his
home, he was returned, having been pros
trated with an attack Of apoplexy which
resulted fatally about midday Of last Tues
day. Mr.. ITilleges had enjoyed most ex-
cellent health until some three months ago,
when without warning he was stricken with
hemiplegia, but his time of life and his most
exemplary methods Of living gave cncour-
agement to his family to hope that a COM
plete restoration 10 health might be conf
IDENTIFY anticipated. But those hopes were
ruthles, ,ly broken by a recurring attack on
last Tuesday NJ. IIileSes was most

Gladstone to Grant.

Among the callers last week wasa Chicago
gentleman who has been several years
abroad. While iii London he met Mr..
Gladstone, who al oncc asked as to the
health Of 'the old Field Marshal" as
General Grant is universally known in
England. The Chicago gentleman explain
ed that he had been away for several years,
but that lie was about to return to New
York, and that If General Grant was alive
when lie arrived there he expected to call
upon him.
SIN that case," SAID Mr.. Gladstone, Il
will ask you to do me favor. | would
like you to convey my regards to him."
With that the Premier drew card bearing
his name and official address, and wrote as
follows:
'With respectful sympathy and best wishes
for = speedy recovery and long ard useful
life" WM. +. GLADSTONE.
Wien the gentleman called to-day he was
at once shown into the Generals presence
and Mr. Gladstorc's card was presented.
General Grant -cad it in silence. His eyes
were suffuscd with tears, and he thanked

ly it may aceOunt for the paucity of game
in Delaware.
Pot-huntng is another banc of the trne
sportsman. The latter is always generous
enemy, and Will flush his birds before firing.
But the pot-hunter is somebody else. Pot
hunting is shooting for the market. If one
of these mercantile srurtingmen finds a
bunch Of quail in field he will shoot every
one nf them sitting. What he wants is
quantity. IIo has none of the sentiment of
occasion would be satisfied with one or two
birds out of the covey, and would shoot
them only on the wing.
The pot-hunter uses every method and de-
vice lie can think of. One favorite method
is shooting and trapping the birds by torch
light This is often nothing else than
slaughtering. 1t is no wonder that when
such Wholesale practices are tolerated that
game birds should become scarce.
The Messina quail referred to are import
ed from the island of Sicily in the Mediter-
ranean.
They are captured when migrating from
the mainland of Italy Flying across the
strait Of Messina in large flocks they come in
contact with the large nets which are eleva-
ed on poles, and stretch sometimes one or
TWO hundred yards. The birds are stunned
by the contact OF become cntangled in the
meshes from whence they are easily picked
up by the native fowlcls. This method of
capturing the quail has been the ancient
practice for many centuries in Italy.

Tnn Much Treatment.


The eyes of all the wcrld have been directed
to the case Of Gen. GIaut. 1t will very
seriously impair public confidence in medical
science and skill At the same time it Will
encourage afflicted people not to abandon
hope of Life because the most LEANED doctors
pronounce their malady inculable.
When their doctor gives them up they
neel not give up themselves.
That is the moral of Gen. Grants case. 1t
encourages the sick and suffering to hope
FOR recovery from their disease, however sad
the croakings Of their medical advisers pro-
vided they have the constitution to recover
from their doctor and the good fortune to
escape "heroic treatment"
DR.. Fordyce Barker, one of the consulting
physicians still adheres to the cancer theory
But it is i'll the teeth of other medical opiu.
ion and is refuted by the fact that Gen
Grant is recovering rapidly. 1t is not a
feature of cancer that as soon as doctorug
ceases 1vnvalesceuce begins.
| The learned doctors who hacked and itor-
tured poor Garfield to get out Of the front
Of his body bullet which had buried in his
back and released itself, kept persisting that
| In 1.ni haI i'm
found its way from his groin, where their
wonderful skill had mislocated it.
Throw physic to the dogs p was the e&-
clamation of Macbeth. Probably if all the
pl,ysic the cancer credulous doctors gave to
Gen. Grant had been thrown to the dogs and
all their heroic treatment had been practised
on cats the distinguished patient would be-
fore now have been driving in the Park and
indulgiug in the luxury OF a Reina Victoria.
The whole Of this prolonged case is any.
thing but creditable to medical science. We
cannt forget that at consultation Gen
Grant barely escaped by his physical weak
ness from u painful and terrible surgical
operation for cancer, which would have
left him spoechless Tor the rest of his life
and it is now acknowledged by some of thes,
same experts that his is not a case Of cancel
at all.
However, if our confidence in the doctor
has been impaired cur fear of cancer hai
also been shaken. 1t is not within th,
power of the physicians to tell us how man.
cases of so-callcd cancer have been heroicall,
treated to death, which had they been al
publicly watched as this, might have turned
out to be simple cases of liberated throat.

Mr.. Beecher served his constituency in

directed his Efforts in behalf Of the interests

The Bull That Was Gored.

When the question of State Attorney for
Delaware was under consideration, Senator
Gray stoutly opposed the appointment of
John IL. Paynter, Esq, under the ostensi-
bic plea that "it ought not, must not be
made, f." because Mr., Paynter was the son-in-
law Of the Governor. Never cried Sena,
tor Gray, "should the suspicion OF nepotism
taint the record Of the Democratic party of
Delaware" This statement had an un-
doubted classical intonatiou, but last week
when the appointment Of Mr.. Black,
the byothcr-in-law Of Senator Gray, as Con
sui to Nuremberg was made, the Senator
preserved an ominous silence upon the ques-
tion of neputism.
Political consistency is mighty good
thing-for your neghbors to practice, is
about the way Senator Gray sizes it up.
