vina, for the Vienna Government had
taken no part whatever In the Russo-Turk-
ish war, and had no claim to section OF
Turkish territory except upon the ground
that Russia was acquiring position OF as
cendancy in another part Of the Balkan
peninsula. The outcome OF subsequent
events has been that the pivot OF the Treaty
Of Berlin has been demolished and that
Austria. which did nothing. keeps Bosnia.

the war with Turkey. has not foot OF land

has been made a catspaw by the HAPsBURa
Kaiser. and he naturally resents at once
the injury and the indignity to which he
has been subjected.
The occupation OF Egypt by England is
equally anomalous and indefensible. IL the
Treaty OF Berlin Is to be considered as still
in force: and none OF the co-signatory pow
ers has yet ventured to describe 1t as abro-
gated. By that agreement the Sultan's
right to rule Egypt through the delegated
authority Of Khedive was acknowledged.
and the safeguarding and naturalization Of
concerted action. Lord SALISBURY has
never denied that the rights Of Turkey
and the intentions OF the Berlin Con-
gress are held in allegiance while n British
army garrisons Egypt and British agents
shape the administrative course OF TEwP1K
Pasha. He has always been careful to speak
OF the existing regime in the Nile country
as provisional. and to profess a purpose OF
withdrawing the British troops as soon rs
native means OF maintaining order can be
organized. 1t is well understood. however.
by holders Of Egyptian bonds and by the
Tory party that the Nile land will never de-
yelop self-governing capacity to the sat
isfaction Of Lord SALISBURY. Whereas 1t
Is equally certain. since Mr.. GLADsToNE's
speech at Newcastle. that the advent OF the
Liberals to power would be followed by an
immediate RELOCATION OF Egypt to the status
contemplated by the Congress Of Berlin.
We may add that Mr.. GLADSTONE far from
sharing the Tory dislike and distrust Of
Russia. regards that power with sympathy
and even friendship. and that he would
much rather see the Car dominant in Bull
garia than HAPsBURa master Of Bosnia.

difference between the policies
Of the Franco-Russlan coalition on the one
hand and of the Triple Alliance on the other.
but that the question which OF the two will
be carried out depends on the result Of
the next general election in the United
Kingdom. II Lord SALISBURY Is retained
In Office. England will practically become

while II the Gladstonians shall triumph.
the weight Of English influence in diplo-
macy will be thrown on the side Of France

Alaska.

The Aaskans are beginning to display
the great American talent for discomfort.
The recent survey has shown that the
country has plenty Of natural resources.
and the Alaskans demand that Congress
shall make an appropriation to promote
their development. The administration OF
public affairs there they describe as un-
satisfactory. and they demand that Con-
gress shall provide them with terri
torial form OF government. Tho Washing

The interests Of Alaska have been
neglected by the Government. they say.
and 1t must hereafter give heed to them II
1t would avoid ruction there. The Alas
kans are harassed by the functionaries
sent to rule over them. and henceforth
resident Aasknns who understand things
must be appointed to office. The value Of
the annual exports from Alaska Ii now
greater than the sum for which 1t was pur-
chased from Russia twenty-four years ago;
and this fact is cited as proof that its BOOM
ers deserve moro consideration. The pop
ulation OF Alaska Is increasing, and must be
consulted about its concerns.

Tho Greed and tho Candidate.

Our ancient Mugmump contemporary.
the Baltimore Sun. builds better than 1t
knows in laying down this broad and
catholic basis Of Democratic union:
-Thers should be no room in the Democratic creed
for any principle policy which aims to sratfy the
wishes promote the interests OF portion Of the
American people at the expense OF another Tho party
platform and tho party candidates in 1892 should be
such to inspire confidence and command the SUI.
frages OF Democrats in Maine and New Hampshire. in
Illinois and Iowa. as well As in Alabama and Louisiana.
Virginia and Texas"
Practically the SURFACES OF the Demo-
Gratis In New York. Connecticut. and In
diana are OF more importance to the party
than those OF the Democrats OF Maine. New
Hampshire. Illinois, and Iowa. but the
principle here maintained by the Baltimore
philosopher Ia correct. The Democratic
platform should be as near as possible to
what always. everywhere. and by all"
Democrats has been and Is believed: and
the candidates should be such as
are acceptable to the whole party.
There should be no insisting upon
extreme opinions and dogmas; and rep
resentatives OF such opinions and dog
mas or any other persons who for any
reason inspire mistrust In any consider
able number Of Democrats are outside Of
the definition and not to be considered.
So far. so good. But the Baltimore pbilos-
opher. having planted himself upon this
platform OF union. suddenly remembers
that he must try to make room for his own
candidate. and proceeds to turn hand
spring off the platform aud into the mud:

A policy or candidate that is unpopular
must be excluded. because to do otherwise
would be "to crafty the wishes Of one por-

Franco and Russia.

According to O telegram from Berlin. NJ.
DE GIERs has been instructed by his master
to frankly avow the nature Of the UNDER
standing between the Russian and French
Governments What has been definitely ar
ranged between the Cars Minister for For
eign Affairs and the French Cabinet Is. we
are told. purely defensive alliance. coupled,
however. with an agreement for diplomatic
cooperation. which. II Lord SALISBURY re-
mains In Office. may easily involve England
In grave complications.
Ostensibly the Triple Alliance has also
been formed solely for defensive purposes.
but the contemplated action Of the three
powers composing 1t Is materially different
from that which France and Russia have in
view. The avOwed policy OF the three
central powers is to leave undisturbed the
Status quo. to overlook the distinction be-
tween de tacto and de j,lre regimes. and con-
sequsntly to avoid interference with the
English occupation Of Egypt or with the
annexation Of Eastern Roumelia by Bull
garia and the opposition to Russia evinced
by the enlarged principality.
On the other hand. the Franco-Russian
coalition intends. II We may trust the ac-
count telegraphed from Berlin. to make re-
spect for existing treaties the aim Of joint
diplomatic activity. Such programme
obviously has for Its capital purpose
. rigorous enforcement OF the Treaty Of
Berlin. That international compact Is
violated as long as the English con-
tinue to occupy Egypt and as long
as Eastern Roumelia remains united
with Bulgaria, and as long as both
provinces are governed by Prince FERDI-
NAED or by any prince whom Russia de-
clines to recognize. 1t will be remembered
that the Treaty OF San Stefano erected not
only that half OF Bulgaria lying between
the Danube and the Balkans. but also the
other half now known as Eastern Roumella.

Mischief in the Present Election LAW.


The most serious evil which now threat.
ems the continuance and pcrmanence OF free
government In this country is the facility
afforded by tho election laws for creating
grave controversies concerning titles TO
office. Last year there was serious dis
pute In Nebraska over the election for
Cover nor; In Connecticut there was a
Like contest. which IS not yet settled.
and now In this State the political
complexion Of the Legislature. weeks az
ter election day. remains doubtful on &C.
count Of the questions which have arisen In
respect to the conduct OF the Boards Of
Canvassers in various counties. Upon the
determination Of these questions most Inn
portant political issues depend. and feel
ings Of anger and evaporation are already
finding expression on both sides. each party
manifesting an apprehension that It will be
deprived Of its just rights.
The laws recently enacted in this State in
the interest Of what Is popularity known as
ballot reform, have done much to bring
about the gravity Of the situation. The
duties Of canvassers have been made more
complicated than they were formerly.
The questions presented for their deter
mination are more numerous and difficult.
There Is greater opportunity. therefore.
for differences Of opinion among the
members OF board as to what Is
proper or improper; or all the members
may agree In adopting course which the
courts will feel themselves bound to con-
denim: and yet the laws warrant such diff
ferences OF Interpretation that the acts Of
the canvassers cannot be pronounced dis
honest or without excuse. In short. the
new system. which we have adopted as q
substitute for the simple election law Of the
past. gives election officers whose duties
should be merely ministerial so much dis
cretonary power and affords them so many
opportunities to 60 wrong. or to disagree by
reason Of honest differences. that a most
dangerous element Of doubt. so far as the
!. ascertainment Of tho result Is concerned.
has been introduced into our elections.
The magnitude Of this evil can hardly be
exaggerated. Unless 1t is checked we shall
soon have disputed election returns in every
Assembly district in the State. by reason Of
some alleged omission or misconduct on the
part Of the local election officers or Board
OF Canvassers. The statutes should be i'm
mediately and thoroughly amended 30 as to
simplify the duties Of these officers to the
utmost, and secure the immediate counting
and return Of all the votes actually cast.
: The secrecy Of the ballot Is Of secondary
Importance compared with the prevention
of such election controversies as seem
certain to be multiplied without end under
the new system. The Idea Of having
tho canvassers in each county Of this
State transmogrifed into Louisiana
Returning Board. invested practically with
the power Of declaring anybody whom they
please elected to office. is intolerable: and
yet We seem likely to come to that. II we
keep on In the direction In which things are
moving now.
The right thing to do is to return to the
simple and sufficient old system.
