THE condition of affairs between Rus
STA and England keeps growing in ssri-
BUSINESS, and matters have assumed a
more warlike character. Gladstone has
done everything which man could hon.
erably do to avert war, but as Russia
seemed to increase her demands in pro-
portion to his reluctance to engage in
hostilities, he now shows bold front.
This may induce Russia to accede to a
peaceful arbitration, and this probably
will be the end Of it. Things look at
present IS if war was inevitable, but a
peaceful solution of the trouble will with.
out much doubt be secured. Gladstone s
warlike speech will do much toward
modifying Russia's demands.

GENERAL MIDDLRToN's forces and the
insurgents under Riel, have met in bat
tie and the half breeds were victorious,
although the first reports were to the
effect that the Dominion forces had won.
Of course there can be only one result
eventually-the defeat of tho rebels. -
But they are entitled to the sympathy of
every one who disapprovss of perfdy.
In the former rebellion the government
made promises through an archbishop
that the government survey would not
interfere with the rights of the persons
who were in arms because of the Unjust
ice done them. They relied upon these
promises and returned to their homes;
but the government broke faith with
them. Now, Riel is denounced a. an
ambitions fanatic who has stirred up
discussions and induced the half breeds
to join in the revolt of which he is leader.
The fact is he is only the head of pop
ular uprising against tyrannic treatment.
The half-brseds are treated by the Cana
dian government just about as the In
dams of the United States are treated
by the federal government, or its agents,
rsther. Riel was selected as leader, be-
cause of his fitness for the trust and his
sympathy with the people and his knowl-
edge of the wrongs they suffer induced
him to accept the leadership. But he
will be crushed and branded as a law
breaker, traitor and q villain who led
mon to destruction.

SUPERINTENDENT ANDERSON of Mil
waukee, is making an attempt to effect q
change in the manner of determining the
relative wages of teachers. Wages in
milwaukee are now determined by the
experience of teachers in years, and the
grade OF the certificates. But little at
tention is given to teaching ability and
this Mr.. Anderson is anxious to correct.
The teacher who feels that promotion
and reputation depend upon the char
acter of his work, and not the length of
his service, has a stimulus which will
force improvement. There are very few
school boards of country schools which
new regard the grade of the certificate
as fully determining tho ability of its
holder as teacher and some other guar
antv is reonire1 School boards shonld
not be bound by any artificial rule Which
makes them act without exercising dis
erection. System is very often secured
at the sacrifice of common sense, and to
the disadvantage of schools.

IT is reported that another engagement
has taken place between the Russians and
Afghans and that 100 of the former,
almost the entire number engaged were
killed. At first sight this might look as
if it would make war inevitable, but it
will more likely have the contrary effect
as it will cool the ardor of the Russians
for war. They seem to be the most anx-
ious for hostilities and are emboldened
by England's hesitancy.

AVERY interesting interview with Hart
mann, the celebrated nihilist Of Russia,
who was the leader of the movement and
actively engaged in the Moscow e1plo,
sion, is published in Fridays edition of
The n. Y. Tribune. He claims to be in
possession of accurate information con-
corning the policy and purpose of the
Russian government, and says Russia is
anxious for war with England. Any one
who has given attention to Russian
matters will readily perceive the force of
Hartmann's reasoning. A war with Eng
land will turn the attention of the people
from the nihilist movement and feeling
Of patriotism will, to certain extent,
unity the Russian people. The car feels
the necessity of some extraordinary di-
version, and perceives that he can secure
peace at home only by a foreign war,
and then success will restore his pres
tige. An emperor who manages foreign
war so as to gain reuown for his country
must grow in popularity. The govern
msnt will have earned the respect of the
people while it will have acquired terri
tory and curbsd the power of nation
whose colonial possessions have destroy
ed the balance of power in Europe.
Hartman says England is heartily dis
liked in Russia for many reasons, and
while Russia ia not financially in good
condition, stll. it is seldom that England
has been in worse condition for O pro.
tracted or extensive war. Tho most in
teresting part of the interview is the
statement that in the event of war the
nlhilists will not be active, preferring to
let the war do the work which it is their
purpose to accomplish,-the overthrow
of absolutism.

IT has occssioned some surprise among

1T has occasioned some surprise among
writer's of history that Germany has
never adopted the colonial policy and
thus derive the advantage which comes
from an increase of population. OF late
years the unifcation of Germany has
absorbed the attention of Prussia, the
leading power IN the confederation, and
the aggressive mind of Bismarck has
been more intent upon giving consoli-
dated Germany military prestige than in
looking for purely commercial advan-
tages. But according to late reports
Germany is about to develop a colonial
policy which will be startling in it's di-
mansions.
It is in the nature OF things that it
should do so. The German who comes
to America becomes An American citizen
and loses all interests in the government
tai affairs of his native country. Eng
land, France and Russia have places for
their surplus population. Germany has
none, and when her people emigrate they
are lost to her. The German policy Of
colonization will yet stir Europe and
may crush England.
