THE WAR CLOUD.

War between England and Rus
STA, says an exchange, is still delay
ed, but it does not seem possible that
it can be put off much longer with
out an understanding Of some kind.
Both nations are busy preparing for
the conflict which, apparently, they
regard as inevitable. In England
public opinion appears to be in IA
vor of beginning the conflict atonce,
and in Russia the war feeling is as
strong as the Gar could desire.
There is no longer any doubt that
Russia cannot explain to England's
satisfaction her attack on the AT
ghans, and it may be that she has
no desire to give a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION She has already occupied
the territory which she gained by
the battle with the Afghans, and is
engaged in Strengthening her new
position. If England continues to
hesitate it is probable that Russia
will soon make another advance.
There may be several reasons why
England is delaying hostilities. It
is important that she should have
free access to the Black Sea, and if
Turkey occupies a neutral position,
as she seems disposed to do, Eng
land will be deprived of a great ad
vantage Both England and Rus
STA have made propositions to Tur-
key. They both realize the import
ance Of Turkeys friendship. It is
more important to England, howey-
er, than to Russia to have Turkeys
good will
There are other things that Eng
land must make sure of before be-
ginning the conflict. She must be
certain that India is loyal and will
give her all the support that she can
reasonably ask. She must also be
certain that the Afghans are acting
in good faith, and will be an ally
upon whom she can rely whatever
the fortunes of war may be.
While India, through her chiefs.
has given proofs of her loyal inten-
ton, and Afghanistan, through the
Amer, has given such pledges OF
friendship and good faith as have
been demanded, there have been ru
mors with regard to both that were
calculated to cause the English gov
eminent uneasiness.
But whatever the causes of the
delay may be, it viii be impossible
for England and Russia to maintain
their present attitude towards eacl
other much longer Their relations
are too strained

is three weeks until Congress meets, and if
Mr.. Cleveland's message is to be anything like
those which have preceded it, good, compe-
tent secretary, with scissors and paste-pot
could put it together in two hours. AS a
rule, the message is nothing but stupid re-
hash of department reports; the original por-
tons and recommendations are an infnites-
NAL part of it, which could be amply ex-
pressed in two columns of space.

THE letter of Mr.. j. B. Conner upon one of
the phases of the discussion of liquor taxation
will attract attention. We think it effectually
dernolishes the false and fraudulent position
OF those who assume and assert that the
liquor saloon is established by law, and that,
therefore, tax is permission to the traffic.
The liquor traffic existed before laws to re-
strict it were thought of. 1t would exist if
there were no law at all. The law does not
create, establish or promote the traffic; on the
contrary, the purpose and effect of any law
are precisely the contrary. The false assump-
ton that saloons are established by law
enunciated with great vehemence, may posi-
bly, be believed by those who could as easily
be made to swallow the assertion that the
moon is made Of green cheese, if enough sound
and fury were put into the proposition; but
it will not fool anybody who cares to OF is able
to think nationally and logically upon the sub
ject. A kin falsity to the one Mr. Conner dis
poses Of is that other one, which places the ques-
ton Of the drink traffic on the same plane with
murder robbery and adultery, and proceeds
to thunder for prohibitory law against the
one on the same grounds as against the other
Men who discuss the problem of the drink
traffic from either of these points of view
contribute nothing to a reasonable and
rational solution; they only darken counsel
with the multitude of their words The
Journal is pleased to see the discussion of all
the phases of the liquor question, for out of
the diversity of opinions, out of the wildness,
the falseness, and the very bigotries and preju-
dices which SO deface and mar much of the
debate, there will come sound, SOBER safe
practical public opinion, which will take hold
of the question and give it a wise and effect
i've solution in the interests of public order
and the protection of private rights.

special correspondents that new star has risen

Enthusiastically received according to the accounts
which reach this side, and her success is pro-

perhaps, to vaguely recall the name when, in

A NEW base ball association is in contem-
plation, the league to embrace the cities of
Boston, Worcester Hartford, Albany, Brook
lyn, Newark, Baltimore and Washington. No
alliances will be made with any clubs that
may now be in existence in the cities named
The idea of the gentlemen engaged in the
scheme is to place the league upon legal ba-

law, and to play the games on grounds as
near the center Of the cities as possible, in
stead Of in the outskirts, as has been the Gus
tom heretofore with all other associations.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer mourns bee

THE Cincinnati Enquirer mourns because
the President excludes congressional Office
seekers. 1t says:
''Throngs of congressman who under former
regimes could be daily seen gathering at the
Presidents house and in the Office of his pri-
vate secretary will find their occupation gone:
but, as the prospects now appear, they will
have the satisfaction of seeing their Demo
cratic colleagues very little better off than
themselves under the restrictions adopted at
the White House."
If this reform" sticks Mr.. Cleveland will
be entitled to great praise, and no one will
thank him more heartily than the conscien-
tious congressman, whose time is taken up and
his usefulness crippled by having to make OF
himself nothing but an Office beggar.
