ENGLANUN DIPLNMACY.

The European coalition against Russia is ap-
parently strong enough for all practical par-
poses. Germany, Austria and Italy, acting in
concert. ought to be able to prevent aggressive
operations on the eastern frontiers OF the two
military Empires. II there be any virtue in the
weight of opposing ornaments, Russia will be
kept under restraint by the diplomatic COM
bination already formed. England's partici-
patton in the alliance against the Northern
Power would probably tend to irritate France,
and by completing the process OF diplomatic
isolation to force the Republic into counter
coalition with Russia. 1t may be considered
doubtful il the ends of peace would be promoted
by the diplomatic arrangements which Lord
Salisbury is reported TO have made with italy
and Germany. A coalition Of four Powers
would be weaker than one of three for the main
tcnance Of European peace, for Russia and
France being deserted by every one else would
inevitably be drawn together; and such an
alliance would be almost certain to precipitate
war Nj. Floquet's recent overtures to the
Russian Minister in Paris and NJ. Flourens's
election speeches have been surface indications
of trend of events in the direction of such an
alliance. If the Republic be continually
tainted with it's weakness. isolation and help

terially aided in carrying out their Interior
purposes in securing an ally who can be de-
pended upon to keep Germany on the defensive.
Lord Salisbury has always desired to play a
leading part in the diplomacy Of the Continent.
The laurels won by Lord Beaconsficld at Berlin
will not suffer him to sleep. lie has been
anxious not only TO keep England in line with
Germany in all the diplomatic business OF the
Continent but also to take an active part in
the scheme OF coercive measures aimed against
the Gar. Probably he has not succeeded in
committing En- gland TO anything like an often
siye and defensive alliance with either Ger
many or italy but it is currently believed. not
only in Berlin and Vienna but also in London.
that he has a secret understanding with Prince
Bismarck and Premier Crispi, and that the
British Government is under obligations to
unite with the coalition in certain ccntingcn-
cies This policy is not in accord with recent

nan Lewis, it is claimed, has exceeded his
authority, and about half of the striking mining

met with utter defeat in their attempt to dictate

the latter have nothing to gain and everything

Some criticism has naturally been provoked
by the opinion of Corporation Counsel Beck
man TO the effect that under the present laws
and ordinances the unclaimed bodies Of paupers
cannot be disposed of by cremation. Literally
interpreted, the laws can only be construed rs
MIR. Beekman CONSTITUTES them. But similar
question, it will be remembered. arose when
the Fresh Pond CrematOry was opened. it be-
ing contcnded that the Health Board had no
authority to issue burial permits when crema-
ton was contemplated. The reasonable view
was then taken that the word burial could
nightly be taken TO embrace any form of dis
posing Of the dead. and so no legislation was
deemed necessary. Why cannot the same con-
struction be placed on the word in the laws re-
]aiing TO the burial Of paupers? II needful,
however, the Legislature could easily provide
an amendment. DR. Macdonalfs proposal is
moderate, and the resulting advantages would
no doubt be considerable.

this rational shape: No. l hard is not the
only thing this rich Dakota soil will produce
to advantage. Here is q large field for in
dustries that will bring money to the pro-
Queer and manufacturer. Potatoes yield
beautifully. Why not some capitalist put
in q starch factory? Flax can be raised.
Why not have An Oil mill ? The advantages

That the winters are long we do not deny,
but every country must have some ebjec-
sionable feature. That we have had an early

the first since the settlement of the country.
Such another year may not be known in y
period Of years. This has been a very III
usual season in every locality. We have had
Ave sclipses, the number varying from two
to five per year. This would naturally
bring . great diversity Of climate. Take
