The Cry of wo,f.

In southeastern Europe, separating the
confines OF Turkey in Europ.. from the bor-
der OF the Austrian and Russian Empires, lie
the petty powers of Montenegro, Seryia.
Bulgaria and Roumania. Subjugated centu-
ries ago by the tidal wave of Mohammedan
conquest, they have in modern times sue
ceeded by their own exertions, and by the
1avorltism of their powerful Christian
neighbors, Russia and Austria, in es-
tablishing themselves as independent or
acknowledgements states. But it is a
troubled independence which they enjoy.
Russia and Austria are continually looking
Win longing eyes across their borders to
the fair possessions of the feeble Turk be.
yond. But Russia and Austria do not con-
template going against the Turk together.
and neither is willing that the other shall
enjoy the whole of the spoil, or that the other
shall acquire in the petty Eorder states an
influence that shall enable it to make them a
base for its operations. Hence it follows
that Montenegro, Servia, Roumania and Bull
garia are fields Of perpetual political intrigues
carried on by the emissaries of Russia and
the partlsans of Austria. Great significance
Is attached to the smallest occurrences. This
explains why it is considered so significant
that Servia has declined to renew her com.
mercial treaty with Austria Hungary, show.
ing mat she is already yielding to the
pressure OF Russia even in matters which re-
late to her commercial affairs. The recently
arranged marriage of princess of little
Montenegro to prince of the royal house
OF Russia becomes very important fact. as
showing that the old friendship betN cen
Montenegro and Russia is being ouickened
by present Interest as well as by tradition.
And yesterday morning the cable reported
that manifestoes emanating from Seryian
sources had excited Bosnia and Herzegovina
provinces occupied and administered NV
Austria under the Berlin treaty, but not be-
longing to Austria) by circulating the report
that they were to be annexed to Austria
These are of themselves small circumstances
but the regions in which they occur and the
great powers interested, for all Europe is
on the side either of Austria or Russia, Give
them the first Importance. 1t is true that
the cryof wolf has often been raised in
Southeastern Europe; but it is a haunt of
this sort of wolves, and it is never safe to
assume that the cry is deceptive.

London journal is much perplexed to
know what gambling is. 1t has found that
at great mart in London, at certain clubs
and on every race course, heavy betting
takes place, that there are vast number of
professional bettors, and that there are mid
dle-men who for commission act as go-be-
tweens, when taker Of odds wishes to tran
sact business with a layer The whole
thing is done openly and publicly, and the
most Stad of the newspapers announce the
odds against the various horses about to run
IN race as an item of intelligence. On the
other hand, there are statutes innumerable
against gambling, and occasionally two
youths are fined or sent to prison for play
Ing at pitch-and-toss or for betting on a game
Of cards. Much the same perplexity would
result from similar inquiry on this side of
the water Gambling in public and in high
life may not be so open here and the punish
ment Of youths who play games like pitch
aud toss may not be so ostentatious as in
England But there is the charitable socie-
tvs rattle, its wheel Of fortune, and its prize
tickets to wiring the soul of The noralist, be-
fog the consciences of patrons, and perplex
those who do not see why the Revised Stat
ntes should not be enforced as much In one
case as in another. Yet in this country pub
lie sentiment has improved much in late
years. aud it seems to be improving from
year to year. 1t is doubtful if such is the
case in England, where public sentiment
seems t. have arrived only so far as the
stage, when it turns savagely upon The man
who CANDLES dishonesty" When peer
OF the realm not long ago was disgraced for
collusion with jockey who rode in a
race on which he bet, the organ dominant
in English public opinion gravely remarked
that it was nothing against the noble lord

his betting was infamy unutterable. Amer
lean public opinion also would have con-
demned him utterly on the last count; but
IT would not have let him go scot free on the

One must continually revise his opinions
of great city.lik New York. Poets, nov
elists and philanthropists have given the
world to suppose that city tenement houses
are haunted by disease to an extent appal =
ling to the residents of more commodious
quarters. But along comes the register of
vital statistics of New York with the sur
prising statement that his figures show that
in the most densely populated portion of the
city, where the people live almost exclusive
ly in tenements, the death rate for the year
1888 was only 22.25 against general death
rate of 2G.33. 1t would be easy to Jump at
the conclusion that the people living in the
crowded tenements. being foreigners, are
tougher and less liable to succumb to un-
healthy surroundings than the better housed
Americans. But the register thinks differ
emily. In the more crowded parts of the
city there Is official sanitary supervision.
The law sees that the crowded tenements
are kept clean and wholesome. But in the
better portions of the city people are left
more to themselves, with rather unfayorable
lesults, 1t seems. The figures of the register
show that an ounce Of prevention is worth
pound Of cure.

WE ARE NOT DEGENERATING
rNau Xnt.lr Sun l


The babblerS who babble about the physi-
cal degeneracy of the young women and
young men Of America ought to have taken a
look last week at the classes of graduates
from Vassar College, or Rutgers College, or
Wells College or Barnard College, or Smith
College, or at the classes of masculine gradu-
ates from the New York University, or
Columbia College. or Princeton University,
or West Point Academy, or the New York
College OF Physicians and Surgeons, or any
Of the hundred other institutions of learning
that have just held their commandments.
1t would be hard 60 tell where one could be-
hold any array Of young women " 18th better
physical development. or any host of young
men with more stalwart fra mes than were
shown by the graduates of these institutions.
By the way, the habtlers about degeneracy
can obtain information on the subject by
str0lling along Broadway or Wall Street, or
any of our other highways, or by taking
trip to COney Island or Long Branch. or by
visiting the public bath houses. In the J.ly
number of Harper's Magazine there is an
essay, entitled: SIS American Stamina De-
clining?" and the answer can be quickly
given. 1t is not. In the Twilight Club,
few evenings ago, the members held debate
upon thei- inferiority to their glandfathers,
but II must be evident to everybody who
watches the spectacles at our outdoor sports
and in our athletic clubs that our ancestors
were not superior to-their posterity in all re-
spects. Fair play for Young America.
