The Boston Advertiser shows tn at
the consumption OF ardent spirits in the
United States is On the decrease, as
compared with the growth of popula-
ton. This is largely due to al increase
in the consumption of less fervld, but
alcoholic beverages, such as beer and
wine, but it is also evident that total
abstinence is on the gain, and that the
cause Of temperance is making pro-
gress, perhaps slow, but none the less
certain.

That there has been q decided revival
of the military spirit in the south was
strongly attested by the success of the
great interstate drill at Mobile, Ala.
last week. all the prices were carried
off by southern companies, despite the
fact that there were a number of con-
testing companies from the west and
northwest. The judges were army of
icers, detailed for that purpose by the
commanding general of the army. and
at the conclusion of the contest they
were decided in praise Of the proficiency
exhibited by many Of the ~contesting
companies, despite the exhausting ma
ture OF the drills, and the unusually
hot whether which prevailed during the
week.

A correspondent Of the New York
Sun, who has Just visited Chicago, and
who is very much impressed with the
energy and business Of that great city,
and predicts a magnificent future for
it, is nevertheless alarmed at the
strength of Socialis m and Communism
there. The socialists Of Chicago are
stronger be says, and more desperate
than those of any Americas or Euro
pean city; the mob is we'll armed
drilled and dangerous. The absence
Of energetic leaders and the plentiful
abundance Of work, which keep the
Chicago proletariat always busy, and,
ta~afefore. out Of mischief. have alon Q
prevented trouble. The constant tear
ing down and building up 0 fthe city, the
never ending commercial and industrial
movements there, haze kept the work
ingmeu Of Chicago always employed,
while those Of other cities have been
idle; but should business slacken. o.
money become tight, or anything else
occur to cause suffering among the
poorer and Communistic people, "tht
wealthy inhabitants Of Chicago will
then have much to fear from the dan
gerous classes" Is the opinion Of til
Suns correspondent.

a letter from Mexico saws the mover

A letter from Mexico says the power
ty of the country may be traced direct
ly to the slovenly system of farming
which prevails The agricultural re-
sources are enormous. Though only
one-ffth of the best land in the great
plateau is under cultivation it supports
millions of people with a style of farm
ing that would produce starvation in
the best sections of New York or Penn
sylyania. The Mexican's sole concep-
ton of the utility of blowing is to
scratch up enough loose dirt to cover
the seed; in the great majority of cases
the ground is never touched after plant,

Gladstone Catching It Everywhere.

London Cable: The political situation in
England is not only regarded by EngIishmen as
anomalous, but it now forms the chief subject
of comment in ali the continental papers.
The leading organs of European public opinion
outside of England severely ~criticise the pres
ent British ministry. Mr.. Gladstone gets the
lions share of all this continental denunciatioa.
The Vienna Mondays Review says it is posi-
BILE that the English parliament may absoly5
Mr.. Gladstone and his cabinet for their
laundering management of British for
eign affairs, but it thinks that sooner
or later the British people will denounce
the ministry that has Sacrificed the
honor and vital interests Of the British
empire" The Algemane Zietung OF Vienna,
says that Mr.. Gladstone has impaired all Haim-
less nervousness" into European politics
which the paper declares is alternating great
continental powers from England. aWho

Giadstone's friends?" asks the Zierung. The
Rassegna of Rome advises Italy to closely OBJ
serve the negotiations in progress between.
England and the porte for a Turkish occupa-

1t is officially announced that the Eng
fish advance upon Khartoum has been
abandoned, and that Wady Halfay will be
the most advanced position taken as a
permanent defence of Egypt. The British
troops will be withdrawn as soon as the
Nile rises, which will be about the last
of the month. In effect, it is an abandon
ment of the Soudan campaign. The Nile
railway will be completed as a commercial
enterprise, but aggressive military opera
tions will cease.
The vote of censure in Parliament of
the Gladstone administration, having ref
erence to both Afghan and the Soudan
was defeated on Monday last by vote of
300 to 260, the Parnellites voting with the
minority.
An agreement has been entered into be-
tween English and Russian official repre-
sentatiyes in regard to the frontier lines
in Afghan, satisfactory to both powers.
In the meantime both governments con-
tinue their war preparations, but it is not
expected that any hostile demonstrations
will follow, at least for the present. The
negotiations in respect to the relations Of
Russia to Afghan are progressing, but
what the final outcome may be is not
known. 1t is stated that Russia will not
commit herself against an advance on
Herat. The English press continues its
attacks upon the administration policy,
and charges that the government has aban-
doned every point of controversy to the
advantage of Russia. The English people
seem to be in sympathy with the press.
The war sentiment in Russia is predom-
inant and all the utterances from that
country are aggressive. Yet the prevail
ing impression is that there will be no war

A Vindication.

1t will be remembered til at the Ilegisla
ture last winter had referred to u Com
mittee the conduct of the office Of the At
torney General THAT they made a report
charging that the Attorney General had
charged and collected illegal fees, and ap-
propriated to himself moneys which prop
erly belonged TO the CommohGealth. The
if it had been based upon facts. would
have been damaging TO Mr.. Blair. Indeed
it would have been the duty Of the Legis-
lature, upon the exhibits made by the
Committee, to have arraigned him under
articles of impeachment and dismissed
him in disgrace from his Office. The Com
mittee. however, vent just far enough to
make campaign document against Mr..
Blair and his party, if it had been allowed
to stop there. The Attorney General,
however, could not allow it. He felt it
due to himself, to the State, and to his
office to have exhaustive scrutiny into the
matter, and that by the judicial branch of
the government. Hence, as to fees which
he claimed had been withheld by the
auditor. under the Committees consGruc-
tion Of the law, Mr.. Blair determined to
test the question whether he had done in
justice to the State, OF a partiZan COM
mittee had perpetrated a wrong against
him, and it finally reached the Su-
preme Court That body on Thursday
last. rendered its decision which awards
Mr.. Blair $685.. 33I-the full amount Of the
disallowance and all that he claimed. This
was not only vindication of the Attorney
General, but a condemnation of the com
mittee, and fully exposes the partizan
motives and unjust conclusions of that
body
Mr.. Blair stands completely vindicated
from all suspicion of wrong doing, and to
the degree that that is the case, it is II re-
buke to the partizans who composed q ma
iority Of the committee. :.

Death Of Ex-GoY. Walker.

Ex-Governor Gilbert G. Walker died in
New York Monday morning, of pulmonary
complaint, aged 50 years. He had been
residing in New York for several years
practicing law, and was at the time Of his
death President of the Newark City Tn

lican, - now the Democratic party, as their

ers retiring from the field as the Demo-
cratic candidate, by the advice of the Cen
tral Committee of the party. His oppo-
nent was Ex-Governor H. H. Wells, the
candidate of the Republican party. The
contest was very animated and bitter and
resulted in the election of Walker by a
large majority, with Legislature in poit-
cal sympathy with him. He was the author
of the Funding Bill of 1871. with tax
receivable coupon-the source of much
of the trouble that has afflicted Virginia
since that time. He served as Governor
four years and was afterwards elected to
represent the Richmond District in Con-
gress for two successive terms. At the
expiration of his second term, he returned
North, and finally located in New York,
