The roller skate has conquered
a success. From being the grace
ful and fascinating amusement
OF girls and boys. it has rapidly
:isen TO the dignity of a new form
of athletic sport,probab'y better,
certainly more refined, and inf
ni,ely more popular than any
thing of the kind that has been
introduced in a long time. A
six DAYS contest in New York,
in which the winner scored 1892
miles, and his foremost compel
itors each covered over 1000
miles, was such a startling sur
prise that a succession Of surh
contests must follow. Probably
they will supplant the hitherto
interesting walking matches. A
contest on roller skates is more
attractive than the spectacle of
tired men laboriouslv pounding
il track of tanhark and limping
out record" lmid clouds of
smoke and crowds of rough men.
L L'dies attended the New York
carnival" Their presence wod
erliven 'all such properly con
dncted contests, and thus elevate
one branch Of sport. There can
be no doubt that roller skating
has come 10 stay. in spite OF all
he cru>ades by The dnciorS and
churches. In time it will be in
dulged in only in moderation,
aud lhe physical objections to 1t
will be overcome altogether or,
reduced to minInIum.

unless they want to he still made
the victims Of invalid legislation
which has now grown to such
proportions that it costs millions
annually. while the evil songht

While it is true that there is
hut little necessary legislation
beyond what have already in
dicated the session will probably

system of paving the members
by t e year. the length Of the

The statesmen who were over

,s.lss1A AAD ENGl.AND.

The relations between Russia
and England are III every
strained condition. to use the
diplomatic phrase. An advance
in the price of wheat in England
and a decline in English and
Russian securities, shows there
is substantial reason for appre-
tensions of possible war. II
all comes of Russia taking advan-
lage Of England's complications
in Egypt, and threatening At
ghanistan, under an English pro
tectora.e. When the Russians
occupied the oasis of Merv in
the great iurkomo desert. two
years ago, it brought them with
in fifty miles of the Afghan from
tier. and within about 200 of the
historic city Of Herat, which
though feebIy fortified has al
ways in Anglo Indian history
been known as ''the key to In
dia" 1t stands in the only road
by which an invader from the
north can turn the great noun
tain chain of the Himalayas, and
pour down into the northwestern
provinces Of India. All classes
OF English politicians, aggressive
aud non aggressive. have always
agreed that the one thing which
Russia must never be allowed 10
do is to get possession of Herat
This is precisely what Russia is
now trying to do if the English
people may he divided as to the
war in the Soudan they are of
one mind in resisting to the last
Russian aggression through At
ghanistan, in Il e direction of the
northern frontier Of India.
Russia is hardly in a condition
to force a quarrel with England
in Afghanistan. She is at Merv
500 or 600 miles from her base
even en- the Caspian Sea.across a
desert, and would be met on the
frontier by the Afghans them
selves, no mean antagonists.
as English experience has shown.
Russia in a financial way is also
wretchedIy unprepared for war.
With an annual deficit in times
of peace of $5,000,O0o, with a
forced paper currency Of $780,
100000. and with her public
credit steadily sinking until her
latest issue of bonds was mark
eted at 55 per cent. of its face.
Russia certainly does not seem
to be in a position to maintain a
distant war.
England, on the other hand, is
as weak in regard to soldiers as
Russia in a financial way. The
total strength Of the British army
hardly amounts 10 100000 effec-
tives. with an immense territory
10 guard. while Russia would
prob bly, have a little difficulty
in mobilizing for service i" ASIA
even more than 10000 trained
and experienced troops.
A war between Russia and
England would just now be ; a
very important matter to the
farmer. and possibly
10 many OF our manufacturing
industries. In England to-day
such a war is regarded as ex-
tremelv probable.
