WAR IMPROBABLE,

The probabilities of war between Germany and Russia are being freely discussed, and all the blood curdGng possibilities of tremendous wtenchins asunder of the bonds of peace between sll the principalities of Europe, are be, ing depicted in vivid pen pictures. IL may be well enough to remember, how. ever, that European "war talk" has, since the little passage between Turkey and Russia, constituted in itself the substance of several gigantic contests, without spilling a drop of blood, As Senator Ingalls, has aptly said, the re- suits that formerly depended on the force of armies and the roar of cannon, are now attained by simple mathema, tical calculation. The force of this re. mark is made apparent in the recent adjustment Of disJolnted diplomatic re- lations between England and Russia, when the sagaoious Gladstone, while fully realizing that under the old code, England would promptly resent the usurping tendency of Russia by force of arms, he also appreciated the stu. pendous disaster that might overtake Great Britain, and all Europe indeed, should war be declared. The apparent wisdom, therefore, of the concessions made by England in the masterly di, plomatic discussion which so happily averted war, has been shrewedly noted by European politicians generally, and duly considering the entangled rela- tions of the European nationalities, it is tolerably safe assumption that if war can be averted by reasonable con, cession, in every instance it will be done.

IT was red-hot in the Senate at the close of Ingalls, Apache talk about Vor. hees. The latter stated that the Kan. sas Senator was "a great liar and a dirty dog" andthe worst of it, for Mir. Ingalls,, was that Vorhees proved it, Prescott Courier. ....
 That's John H. Marion. He is too perverse to see the abyss of shame and contempt into which Vorhees sank when he stopped to the use of such un, digniied and dispicable terms. If Mir. Vorhees' speech proved anything, it was simply the splendid adaptation to him, self of the degraded epithets applied tc the gentlemanly Kansas Senator. Ma. rion is apparently experiencing hope less attack of blind staggers.

TIE election of Herndon and Berry,

THE election of Herndon and Berry, as delegates to the National Democrat ic convention, is galling torture to the flesh of the Zulick combination. With keen sense of humiliation does the gentleman from New Jersey real izes the rebuke inflicted on his retro gressive administration by the Demo cracy of Arizona. Having been pro claimed by his own party to be too narrow for the sphere he essays to fill, and with the darkening shadow of fail ure indelibly stamped on the pages of his administrative record, he will joy fully welcome the termination of his official career. Politically, his goose is cooked,

FoR the first and only time since the Albuquerque Democrat entered upon its speckled career in Albuquerque, it can claim success for an aspirant with its backing for political preferment By mysterious deviation from it's es. tablshed precedent, the Democrat warmly supported W. B. Childers for the delegacy from New Mexico to the National Democratic Convention, and he was elected. To itself the Demo crat modestly gathers all the glory and credit for the happy result of its can. vass in behalf of MT. Childers, and while we incline to the opinion that the sterling attributes of Mir. Childers, together with his widespread popu larity were really the winning elements to which his success is due, we can readily excuse the Democrat for its exuberant glee in having at last parti cipated in success, and claiming the honor therefor.

DURING our great war 3l7, ,l72 men were wounded, S7,53l died of wounds, and 6l,362 were killed in battle, a total of nearly l,O00,0OO killed. There were altogether l6, 6,454,S32 cases of disease and wounds according to statis. tics recently given by Dr. Forbes. In view of these statistics it is not strange that the Medical Director of the De. partment of Missouri, G. A.
