 THE Cincinnati Enquirer says Mir. Thomas Powder O'Connor Member of Parliament, wires the New York Star that ''the Foreign Office is convinced that there will be no war with Russia this year. 'This year" means, of course, this winter. When We see British con- sols, q permanent loan, bearing 3 per cent interest, the principal ot which IS never to be paid, rising to lO2 1-1O, as they did yesterday, We are forced to conclude either that the Foreign Office is right or that the market is all wrong. From the New York Herald's best cable cor respondent comes news of the same character. He says: "The impress sion in German official circles is that Russia will obtain all she asks by agitation in Bulgaria without landing an army there. Austria will get no support from Germany against Russia Tn any case" Edi- torially the Herald inclines to the view that the European situation is greatly strained, and that next summer it may break into war |; but, 1t adds: "It is not in Bulgaria, however, where Russian influence is paramount, that the war cloud is darkest. It is in Egypt and along the Suez Canal. It is there that the jealous interests of all maritime Europe are centered-there the bat ties of the near future are to be fought"
 All this is interesting; but the Enquirer has not moved a single inch from the position that it has occupied all through this protract- ed racket. There can be no great war in Europe at present without the consent of Germany, and with the Emperor on the edge of the grave, Bismarck but a little further away, and France eagerly waiting

beef upon the market at two and three-year-olds. than hold them for four years at the expense of the range and to the injury of their stock cattle. Every year the ne cessity for a new departure from the old business methods becomes more apparent, and every protec- ton possible must be extended to the producing herds, which must depend constantly upon the ranges for thrift and subsistence. Under this new order of things yearly augmenting in force, the language of the Courier bears peculiar sig nificance, and is only the forerun- ner of general out-spoken de- mand, in the near future. The un- propitious season which has blight ed the ranges in many sections of country, threaten us with a more pregnant source of danger than the periodical visits of the wandering sheep-herds, namely the driving of large numbers of cattle from the barren ranges to forage upon the pasture lands of our resident stock. There certainly should be q law to prevent non-residents, who own neither privilege or ranch in the
 Territory, from driving herds of cattle into the county to prey upon the substance which rightfully be- longs to those who pay the taxes and own the adjoining ranches. It certainly seems right that domicile alone should furnish the basis of acts of citizenship. It is, there fore, necessary that some laws should be passed protecting the rights of citizens and defining the privileges of aliens.

They offer to sell to the tenants a twenty years purchase on the Government valuation, the tenants paying annually 30 per cent under the present rental. The Drapers Company offers 27,O25 acres at yearly rental of e12,5OO at eighteen years purchase. The tenants accept the offers. The transfer covers nearly all the Coun- ty of Londonderry.

As ARIZONA has sufficient cattle to stock her waste places, her peo- pie are opposed to the driving in of any more herds of scrub stock, and law to prevent it will have to be passed and enforced.
 The above suggestion made by the Prescott Courier is very perti- nent at the present time, and has long been a subject of greater or less agitation among our stock men. The New Mexican sheep have been bitterly complained of for raiding our ranges, while they played hide and seek with the tax collector. Two or three arrests were made near Winslow at the in- stigation of the Aztec Cattle Com pany, and an example made at Flagstaff, by imposing fines and penalties upon these poaching itin- erants. We now hear no complaints against these foreign sheep-herders, so we suppose they have profited by the salutary warning. But no less serious annoyance is threaten ed, as intimated in the above lines of the Courier. The ranges of Apache county, taking the water supply into consideration, are about stocked to their full capacity. The steady increase of stock cattle upon the ranches, has brought into se- rious discussion questions, which have heretofore been unconsidered. In order to protect the pasturage, the ranges must be depleted as rap idly as possible, and the beef cattle placed upon the market. The time is fast approaching when economy in our grazing resources will be- come an absolute necessity, and our stockmen are beginning to real ize it is more profitable to place

Ar Bloomington, Illinois, on the 25th ult., Judge Scott granted the supcrsedeas in the Anarchists case. Messrs. Black, Swett and Solomon started at once for Ottawa to have the Clerk issue the order in pursu- ance to Judge Scott's instructions. The effect of the order for the su- persedeas will be to delay the exc cution until the full Bench of the Supreme Court has passed upon the questions raised for a new trial. It is estimated that in the ordinary course of procedure a hearing and decision cannot be reached for six or eight weeks, and even though the lower Court is sustained the sentence cannot be carried out un- til some time in March or April. Judge Scott's order granting the supersedeas is purely formal. With out going into any particulars or giving any reasons, he simply cer- tities that in his opinion "there is reasonable grounds for granting the writ"

THE question of constructing a telegf1phic line from St. Johns to Navajo is attracting the attention and interest of business men throughout the county. We un- derstand the scheme is favorably entertained and its adoption en- couraged both at Holbrcok and Winslow, and more particularly at the latter place. Practical telegraph men commend tine idea as one worthy of consideration, promising a profitable return for the invest ment, and adding a feature of pro- gressive stability to St. Johns. It is said the construction and mate rial will cost only about $2 800, and from what we could learn parties are ready and willing to subscribe most of the capital stock, but de- sire that citizens in and around St. Johns should, to some extent, be- come stockholders, in order to give the enterprise local identity. A telegraph line would prove Q source of great convenience to the busi- ness community of the town, and would become factor of no insig- nifcant proportion in its develop ment. It would establish facilities for communication with the out side world, and give us a commer- cial importance which we can never enjoy without it. This is the near est approach We can make to sup plying the inconyeniences resulting from a want of railroad facilities, and we feel confident that even those who cannot or will not lend a helping hand, would not attempt to thwart or emharrass the accom- plishment of the enterprise. We hope some one will place the mat ter upon a practical basis and ma terialize the suggestion the amount needed is small and the promised benefits great, and there is no req son why the necessary stock should not be subscribed, if the right men take hold of it, and show up it's practicability and it's legitimate business possibilities.
 This project is the first evolution under the new Order of things, and is but the promise of what We may hope forSin the future, if the ser wants of the people will continue in we'll doing and fidelity. The regime of the past is over, the day of its destiny is gone, and as we turn from q retrospect of the wreck behind us, to form anew plans for the brighter and more hopeful fu- ture we may find at least something of comfort in the charitable rehec- tion that blessings are not the only things which brighten as they take their flight.
