Peaceful Europe.

Taking quick glance around the
world, the prospect is not altogether
charming, though it may be exceptional
~ peaceful. Over in London they are
worried chiefly by the depression OF
American securities, due to the yellow
fever scare and by the move Of Mr. Parnell
Tor fair trial In Scotland. Across the
channel Frenchmen are fretting over
their labor troubles, and noting with sat
isfaction that Won Moltke is laid on the
shelf, and Prince Bismarck just rs old as
usual. Emperor William has given them
plain notice that he will hold on to their
lost provinces like grim death. He would
even prefer that 46,0O0,0o0 Germans
should give up the ghost rather than see
one stone of Alsace- Lorraine given up to
France. Russia joins in the surly snarl
Of France over Italy's unlucky African
venture and the Sultan of Turkey growls
vigorously at everybody. Turkey is the
sore spot Of the European body polite,
aud serious trouble there usually means
restless times ahead. The trouble just
now is so serious that a crisis is reported
between the sultan and his ministers,
aud there is talk Of a secret mission to
Eogland. The through line Of railway
between Paris and Constantinople has
ct last been finished and was to have been
opened with rejoicings, but the sultan
has just decreed that all the festooned
h,ptiurv uho,,ld ha toGop doxur aud tho
train now on its way must be allowed to
proceed through Turkish territory in
silence. Turkey opposes the opening of
railway connection with civilized Europe.
She sees that it must be fatal to her rule;
that the iron giant steam will come

lions In his train to overthrow the rule
OF Islam, and force the unspeakable Turk
from his home. The wages of the sol.
dlers and sailors are long overdue, and
the ministers Of war and marine want
ssven and a-half million OF dollars at
once, which the grand vizier proposes to
borrow from Turkish banks. The sui
tan realizing the precarious nature of the
loan would prefer to borrow from inlidel
foreigners. There is plenty Of material
for q war scare in the condition of the
Balkan states, and the only reason tha
the fight is not on hand may be tina
there is no snow on the ground, and hos
tilities are quite possible. II fighting wa,
physically impossible, and the legislativ,
bodies OF the various powers were con
sidering army bills, we would surely have
. most terrific sound of approaching wal
