AN ENEMY OF ENGLAND.
Russia Is Inclined to Favor Ger
man Schemes.

ST. PETERsB URG. Jan. SO.-The No
voc Vremya advises a general CONT
mental policy, the purpose of which
shall be to impose every possible i'm
pediment to the extension of British
dominance in Africa and to favor the
advance there of the German schemes
of colonization. 1t frankly presents the
subject from the point of view of its
double advantage to RuSsia-first, as
Germany would become counterpoise
to British power in the eastern world;
and next, as German migration to At
RIGA would open aD easy outlet for the
supertuouS population that now SWarms
into the Western Russian provinces
and is regarded as a very unde-
sirable addition to the population and
detriment and danger to Russia. NJ.
GeliSSiieff, the Asiatic traveller, writes
to the Noyoe Vremya regarding the in
creasing aggressiveness of the Chinese
authorities Oh the northern frontier to-
ward all Russian projects and opera
tons on the AMOR river. This was the
subject discussed in the council held
here by the car on Tuesday. China's
military position was discussed by the
council, which counted the Chinese
army at 100000. The Chinese govern
ment has given, however, its assent to
the construction of the line of railway
from Kirin, in Manchuria, on the Sun
gari river, tributary of the Amoor to
Pekin. The line was planned for in
the great Russian scheme of Eastern
Siberian railways.

BEN THE SNUBBER.

President HARRISON is making quite
q reputation as a snubber. And what
IS more he is gaining that reputation
among his own party friends. The
Democrats, or very few of them, give
his eXcellency chance to snub them.
and yet it is a common report in Re-
publican circles at Washington that the
Democratic visitor to the White house
is treated more courteously and ac
corded more privileges than the aver
age Republican visitor receives. This
can readily be accounted for by the
fact that the Democratic caller at the
executive mansion is never suspected
of being an otficeSeeker. Still, it is not
necessary that the president shall be so
boorish in manner when visited by Re-
publicans, even though they be
officeseekers. When Gen. HARRI-
son accepted the presidency at
the hands of the Republican party
there was an implied contract
that he should suffer himself to be
pestered by those who have political
axes to grind. In the very nature of
things the White house becomes the
mecca OF all o1hceseeklng pilgrims. 1t
was made so when the constitution con-
ferred the appointing power upon the
chief magistrate of the nation. Every
pre- ident from WASHINGTON down to
the present administration recognized
this fact, and, while some performed
the diSagreeable duty of listening to the
prayers of the officeseekers with better
grace than others, still none made
business of snubbing applicants for
Office until BENJAMIN HARRISON en-
tered the White house. There were
times when the offlceseekers were afraid
to approach President JACKSON be-
cause of his irascible temper, yet Old
Hickory never acquired the art of snub-
bling people. Mr.. BUcHANAN's chilling
dignity sometimes acted as detrinent,

SIX SHOTS AT AN EDITOR.
They Were Not Wasted. However
as They Had Some Effect.

An Arizona contemporary is telling
how its editor was fired upon the other
day by citizen who dissented from its
comments, but whose six shots, dis
charged at distance of ten feet from
their mark, did not come within foot
of it, states that, nevertheless, the shots
were not wholly unaVailiDg, as they
wounded $500 mule and a $50 dog,
which damage the awkward marksman
compromised for $3.50. The citizen con-
templates leaving the town, and our
contemporary encourages him in that
purpose by suggesting that man who
holds gun with both hands and shuts
both eyes when he shoots is of no ae-
count whatever in that district.

this repeating act was unconstitutional,
being the Impairment of contract. 1t
is insisted by the plaintiff that the citi-
zen should have protection in the fed
eral courts from the unconstitutional
acts of the state, and the defense rests
upon the prevalent theory that the state
cannot be sued without its consent.
There are millions in issue in this mat
ter, presuming that states recognize the

VOTING REQUIREMENTS.

One OF the suggestions from Southern
sources to relieve the friction over the
voting phase of the race question
in some Of the states in which
there is the largest colored ele-
ment, is to establish the qualifications in
force in Massachusetts, Connecticut and
other Republican states. These require
the voter to be able dread and to produce
his receipt for poll tax of 81 or less.
In Mississippi this scheme is specially
urged. 1t would probably for a time
keep some of the colored element from
the ballot box, but the incentive it would
afford for acquiring the educational
qualification would soon obviate this. If
Republican theories are sustained by
facts, there would be very little reduc-
tion of the negro vote actually cast now.
There is very serious objection to the
poll tax feature, as it discriminates
against the poor; but the ability to read
his ticket is not an extravagant exaction
of the voter in any section.

BERLIN, Jan. SO.-The Cologne Ga

its correspondents at Lisbon with Senior
Pimental, the Portuguese prime minis
ter. Senior Pimental said that Portu-
gal was preparing an appeal to the
powers, including Great Britain. based
on the provisions of the Berlin Congo
treaty. The powers. he SAID, have not
directly declined to accede to the pro-
poSal made by Portugal that an interna-
tlonal conference be held to decide the
Anglo-Portuguese dispute. Above
everything, Portugal would endeavor to
arrive at an agreement with England.
She will prove that all the British de-
mands have been conceded. Senior
Pimental declared that he earnestly de-
sired to enter into negotiations with
England for the sdelineation of the
frontiers of the territory claimed by
both the powers in Africa, and that
until such negotiations were possible
Portugal would act with the greatest
prudence and try to remove any cause
for complaint on the part of Great Brit
ain.
