The British Lion and the Russian Bear

The British Lion and the Russian Bear.
 Sir Edwin Arnold, in his article on s''The Duty and Destiny of England in India'' in the February North American Review, makes the whole destiny of Great Britain hinge on India. Should Russia drive the British out, lit would prove the dir est occurrence for human progress since the overthrow of the Roman empire by the barbarians.'' 'sThe loss of India to England would mean the breaking up and decay of our ancient empire; ; "The falling away, one by one, of our great colonies.''
 India has never governed herself, he continues, ''and has never once been gov erned by one supreme authority until the time of the English rule.' ''India is well contented and will flourish so long as England's strength suf1ices, along with justice purely administered and reforms seasonably introduced and fostered, to keep unbroken that deep peace, the first which India has known in all her his tory"
 The Russian Bear, he says, wants h. dia in order ''to get down from his icy is- olation to sunshine and the sea" and in compliance with the never forgotten mandate of Peter the Great not to rest till Constantinople is possessed.
 "While Britain continues a first Class power, Russia will never hold Constan- tinople and will never enter the gateway of India except to be rolled back, in con- fusion, blood and ruin, all the way along her track of advance, to Krasnovodsk and the Caspian marshes. If ever she defies in earnest the British Lion couched at Quetta and at Attock, the strife will not end until the Romanoff dynasty has been ruined and Russia broken up.''

parties were going to run the packery or
whether the management would continue

been filed with good men and, inasmuch as

IS well settled fact that the men have
come to stay.

ment, passing through Fort Worth The
father, W. r. VandiYer, was in the city
yesterday en- route to Fort Smith to be in
attendance upon the trial of Pointer It is
said the evidence is conclusive, and the
murder was one of the most cold-blooded
ever committed in the Territory The OBJ
jecJ of the murder was robbery, the muir
derer taking what cash the young men had
and also their team, later disposing of the
latter. One of the victims was cripple,

murderer burned the crutch of the cripple.
