The policy Of England in the East is marked
by vigor and resolution which is only too
often absent from her administration of her
military affairs in Europe and Africa, and this
is due 10 the fact that in Asia England is con-
fronted by her most willy and yet her most
aggressive foe.
The ambition of Russia is to extend her
lines from the central plateaus Of Asia south
ward toward India and westward toward
China. Indiais q possession of England and
in some respects China is dependency, and
the English Government recognizes the ne
cessity of opposing the slightest ENFORCEMENT
upon the territory OF either by the Russian
power. Some years ago England and Russia
met face to face in Afghanstan 10 the north
west of India, and now they are again frown-
ing at each other across the mountain ranges
of Pamir. which lie in the direction of the Chi
nese Empire. II was long an open question
as to who possessed the right to hold this sec
ton of country whose principal advantages
spring from its strategic position.
Russia has recently been erecting in a
quiet way outposts in the Pamir territory.
which the English have observed with alarm
This apprehension has led to the increase Of
the English garrison at Gilst and the estab-
lishment of road along the valley Of the
Hunza, which runs down from the Pamirs.
The construction Of this road was the
ostensible motive Of Il serious revolt among
the inhabitants of the Hunza mountains
against British authority, which has been
pct down bv the capture of their different
forts. A railroad is now in the process of
building from Seriagipur to Gilgit which
commands al tie approaches to the Pamirs
from the south. and when this railway is CON-
pleted England VIII be in a position to
transport large bodies of troops to tie valley
Of the Hunza and ii necessary to the Pa
Mrs to resist any further encroachments
on the part of the Russians.

IT IS difficult to appreciate fully the drain
upon the population Of Europe which is
caused by emigration. IL is estimated that
not less than 1900 000 persons of all ages and
classes leave the countries OF that section OF
the globe in the course of every twelve
months. OF these, about 800. 900 come TO the
United States, about 225,OO0 90 to Brazil.
10000 to Australia and the remainder seek
other points of destination. The foreign
population flowing into South America is
probably the most significant movement of
the age as that portion Of tho world was long

NOTHING shows more clearly the eagerness
Of the pursuit Of money in the large commu-
mites Of the North than the fact that the
aspirations of great majority Of their cranks
are confined TO desire to get possession Of
wealth. Ii is true that Dr. John Hall was
made the target Of the bullets OF one of these
cranks, Or. Hall being distinguished only for
his talents but the instances which have been
most characteristic have been those In which
Russell Sage. Cornelius Vanderbilt and
George W. Childs were involved la all these
Instances death was the alternative which
the cranks offered in case of refusal to COM
ply with their wishes, their brains being
sufficiently reasonable TO recognize that the
possessOrs Of wealth would not part with
their property except TO avoid the termination
OF their existence. The fame of men ike
Grant. who was a resident OF New York NJ
the time of his death, Curtis. Cleveland. Tai.
mage. Depew and howes. who represent
different walks Of life. does not appear to have
an exciting influence upon the unbalanced
mind Of the crank. In the case Of Or. Hall
the man Roth was under the impression that
he had been injured by the famous preacher
There was 40 envy in tue motive of his act.
We have yet to hear Of any one exploding a
bomb under the feet of a great lawyer. a
great physician or q great editor in the North

or q Flint which the crank was anxious TO
secure q few days ago. but the brains of Cor

FARM NOTES.

Do you enjoy all your food without salt
How about your stock?
Oats and corn ground together make a
good ration for colts and calves.
Follow the bees example and in your
care of honey and comb don't let anything
go to waste.
If well fed, pigs that are six or Seven
months old will make nicer meat for the
farmers table than that which is older.
Turnips are good green food for the
fowls in winter, and late sown crop will
be large enough by fall to be stored for
winter use.
The quality of the wool you sell domin.
ates the price received, and good wool will
not grow On starvation rations any more
than good meat.
Some people are losing faith IN the pro
cess of ensiIage, but chiefly those who have
never given it fair trial. At all events
silo gives grateful change to corn fod-
der, and other substance, wastes no food
principle, and makes it acceptable to stock
which tire of sameness.
