The French Fleet at Cronstadt.

Events have falsifed the first NAPonEoN's
prediction that Europe in fifty years would
be either republican or CoSsack. Now a new
prophecy Is current in Paris that repub-
leans and Cossacks are destined to divide
Europe between them. Discreet and eau
tious as the Russian censorship is wont to
show ITSELF the newspapers published in tho
Cars capital have treated the arrival OF tho
French ironclads at Cronstadt as an incident
Of international Importance, ut least equal
in significance to the visit OF Emperor WILL
LIAM to England and they are beginning to
evince spirit OF defiance to the Triple
Alliance. Just how much, however. the
cordial welcome given to the French
fleet really means, We shall be in a
better position to say when the cable
has flashed to US the speech which the Car
is expected to mako to-day. Every word
uttered by ALEXANDER Ill. will be sub
jected to anxious scrutiny, for OF him alone,
among the rulers OF Christian Europe. can
1t be said that, ostcnsibly at least. his will
Is law. 1t is truo, indeed, that. like other
sovereigns, the Gear would DO incapable OF
sustaining n long war without tho assist
ance OF the money kings; but one can never
be certain that an nutocrat in an outgush
OF passion may not throw prudence to the
winds. II is now we'll known that NIcHo-
LAS I. had scarcely given tho order that
precipitatcd the Crimcan war. before he de-
plorcd it. and was only withheld by false
sense OF dignity from revoking it.
1t IS now about eighty years since tho last
attempt was made TO bring about a coali.
ton between France and Russia. Had Ma
POLEoN !. been honest and loyal in his treat
ment OF the young Car ALEXANDER L..
whose fancy he had captivated. aud had an
alliance been ccmented by tho formers mar
rage with Russian grand duchess. it is
probable in tho judgment Of most historians
that II Napoleonic dynasty would at this
day DO reignins over central and western
Europe. All thar was needed was for the
French Emperor to carry out in ACT the
verbal promise to acquiesce in Russ,a's oc-
cupation Of Constantinople. But as TAI
LEyRAND, who conducted the negotiations,
has told US In his memoirs, he was peremp-
torily directed by his imperial master to
avoid committing him In writing to the one
concession which ALEXANDER wished, or
which offered any substantial return for the
Cars abandonment OF his former allies
Falling to obtain Constuntlnople, Russia
grew restless uudcr the restrictive CONNER
cial policy OF the French empire. and the
abortive attempt to coerce her by invasion
led to the downfall of the Nepoleonic system.
The present situation is much more favor
able to the formation OF an alliance profit
able to both parties. Tho cooperation of
Russia is now more Indispensable to France
than it seemed to NAPOLEON !. after the
peace OF Tilsit On the other hand. tho
price demanded by the Car looks less in
ordinate. For . long time tho impression
has been deepening In Paris that English

Not tho Farmer Candidate.

Tho Hon. EDWARD FARMER JONES made
m address before tho Niagara County Farm
ers' Club on Saturday in which he con-
sdered the question OF taxation from
purely rural point OF view. New York"
he said. thinks it Is taxed too much. l
think her taxes all right" A rural Rcpub-
lican member of the Legislature could not
have formulated the rural Republican theory
in blunter form. II think, said the Lieu
tenant Governor. "thcre are good many
geese among you farmers" 1t seems to
good many residents of this town. on the
contrary, that New York is the goose, and
the canny agriculturist the plnckcr.
We cannot agree with those persons who
have hastily assumed that Gen. JONEs's deep
interest in the crops and the farmers Is con.
nected with certain political ambitious which
mainly perhaps. in consequence OF his habit
ual frankness and freedom OF speech. are
commonly attributed to him. II Gen. ONES
were really a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, he would not have
forgotten that the votes which elect Demo-
cratic Governors in this State are furnished
by the town whose pilling and plucking he
approves. In his generous and disint erested
enthusiasm for the tiiers of the soil in Mag
ara he leaves out OF sight the citizens of this
city. They will feel little hurt at his neg
lect for they could have nestled in the pro-
lection OF his hirsute glores and been happy !;
but large as those picturesque adornments
are, they are not large enough to cover both
agriculture and commerce.
1t appears from ono passage in Gen.
JoNEs's talk to the Niagara farmers that he
is not even a candidate for the farmer vote.
He told them, in words which the Farmers
Alliance OF Kansas and ex-Lawyer Tom
WATSON, the lungs OF Georgia, would ad-
mire. that there are too many lawyers and
too few farmers sent to the Legislature.
Put your men in the Assembly and the
Senate" he said, land you may be assured
Of protection at home" 1t will be seen that
Gen. JONES. with fine old Roman spirit OF
self-effacement, thus rules himself out from
| being the farmer candidate. He says, in
effect, put none but farmers on guard. Now
| while Gen. JONES may be a farmer by TEN.
| permanent and avocation, he is a scales maker
and freight payer by trade. We wonder
who his farmer candidate for Governor is
Only genuine farmers need apply.

promised by the Transformation OF Con-
stantinople into Russian capital. Before
the Crimean war was over NAPOLEON III. was
pretty we'll convinced that the game he had
been playing was hardly worth tho candle.
1t was IN unwlil,ngncss to be used again by
England for the purpose of pulling chest
nuts from tho fire that prompted the refusal
of tho French Government to takc part In
the Enforcement OF the joint ultimatum upon
ARAB Pasha. 1t may be Of moment to
England as tho ruler OF forty million Mo-
hnmmedan subjects. to avert tho transfer OF
Constantuople to the White Car. but 1t Is
by no means clear that France would have
anything to loso by a Russian advance to
the Bosporus. At all events, II tho French
people desire to recover Alsace-Lorl ainc-
and their passionate yenrninS seems beyond
dispute-the advantages Of Russian alli-
ance immensely outweigh the drawbacks.
II republican institutions wero not firmly
planted in France there is no doubt that tho
Car would eagerly form with its Government
n combination counter to the Triple Alliance.
But in fighting with republican CONDUCTORS
against the three central monarchies ALEX
AMBER III. might DO playing for higher
stake than Constantinople. 1t is possible
that his throne might be at risk; and,
curiously enough. tho stability Of tho house
of RoMANoFF might DO moro imperllod by
victory in such n contest than by defeat. If
the French armies. aided by Russian dem
onstration on Gcrnany's eastern frontier,
should DO overwhelmingly successful, 1t is
probable that wave OF democratic ideas
would swccp over Europe such as that
which followed the military triumphs OF the
first French republic. Not only Germany
and Italy, but all sections OF tho Austro-
Hungarian empire are much more ripc for
tho reception OF republican principles than
they were in the closing years OF the last
century. Should Tho French republic, flushed
with victory, enter on an armed propaganda,
what assurance has the Russian autocrnt
that IL would stop short at the Vlstula? In
the general crash OF thrones his own might
topple, and it would be cold comfort to rec
ognize that its foundations had been shaken
by his own short-sighted policy. Such q
possible outcome OF tho overthrow OF the
Triple Alliance is, Of course. a subject OF ex-
treme solictude at st. Petersburg. Con-
stantinople may be dear to the Russian
sovereign, but absolutism must be dearer.
The United States, in fact. constitute the
only republic to whose greatness the Gear
can safely contribute.

A Sensible Tariff Reformer.

The letter OF Governor HORACE BOIES nc
ceptirg his denomination as Governor OF
Iowa mentions prohibition as "the absorbing
subject" OF the canvass in that State this
year. He gives to this about twice tho space
which he gives to thrift reform. and he shows
no disposition TO fall into tho mistake made
by Governor CAMPBELL OF Ohio. and make
tariff reform the chief and almost the single
issue OF the campaign. He enjoys an addi-
tional advantage over the Ohio Governor In
supporting heartily the position OF his party
in reference to the silver question. On this,
united. and therefore it enters upon the cam
pa'gn with confidence and enthusiasm.
Some of the Eastern tariff reformers have
attributed the election of Governor BoIEs to
tariff reform exclusively. forgetting what
help the Democrats obtained from the dis
gust OF a growing section Of the Iowa Re-
publican party with the working OF prohibi-
ton. The Republican Convention took up
an unpopular and losing cause in defending
prohibition, and this alone should be suffl-
cient, and probably will be sufficient, to
insure their defeat next fall.
Governor BOIEs is as much OF tariff re-
former as Governor CAMPBELL, but he has
not been foolish enough to put all his eggs
into one basket. He does not, in other words.
insist that tariff reform is the one object and
hope OF the Democratic rcformer. There
can BIO reason and moderation even IN tariff
reform. As n reasonable and moderate man
Governor BoIEs seems entitled to success
and his success this year may make him an
important figure in national politics In 1892.
