The wards Case.

The case against Dan Edwards, of
Mandan, occupied the attention of the
United States court Thurday. Last even
ing Deputy Marshal Hurst continued his
story of the troubles at Mandan, the
holdup on the fiat between there and the
bridge, and gave an account of the hap
pening, Identifying Edwards as one of
the men. Deputy Hannah gave testi-
nony as to Edwards arrest, and this
morning the state finished its case
after one Or two more Of the
party of deputies had testified. The de-
Tense opened this afternoon, and several
residents Of Mandan gave testimony as
to being with Edwards on the street after
the time the train came in.

Russia Objects.

If the latest news from the East and from
ST. Petersburg Is TO be credited, the press
Of this country and of Europe were pre-
mature In concluding that peace between
China and Japan was practically an ac-
complished fact. The advices referred to
indicate that serious complications and
side issues have arisen. which may not
only result in the resumption, at the end
Of the armistice. OF hostilities between
the principals. but drag some of the Euro
pean Powers-notably, England and Rus
sia-into the trouble. Such an eventuatlon
has been considered probable ever since
the beginning Of the war. and now proba-
| bility has almost taken the form OF GER
tainty. The Chinese commissioners. 1t is
charged, have taken advantage of the
| armistice to do exactly what 1t was ex-
pected in certain quarters they would do,
| and that is. make strenuous appeals to
the European Powers to intervene. One
| Of their strongest appeals was, 1t is said,
to Russia, and it is stated that st. Pc
tersburg has answered that appeal by de-
claring that she will oppose the proposed
terms of peace.
1t was given out q few days ago that
the delay in arranging a treaty was due
to the higgling OF China over the in
| demnity clause OF Japan's demand. This
clause required the payment OF 30O0oo,0c0
taelS the equivalent OF which in gold is
about s2l5, 00O, 900. An inside view OF Chi
nese manoeuvring would seem to show
however. that this was a mere subterfuge
to gain time and complete negotiations
with Russia
In broad terms, Russia's objection to
Japan's demands is the proposition 10 an
mex territory on the Asiatic continent, but
her specific objection Is to japanese do
mination Of Manchuria. We are told that
Japan requires the cession Of the Province
OF Lian-Fung, which cession would take
in Moukden and all the territory be-
tween the great wall and the Korean
frontier, thus driving in a wedge between
the Hermit Kingdom and the sphere of
Russian influence. That such a buffer
would prove a serious obstacle to Russian
intrigue in Korea and TO Russia's acqhir-
Ing a port south of Vladivostock will
become apparent to any one who will take
the trouble 30 examine a map OF that
part of the globe. But that Is not all
This photographic examination would also
seem to make 1t apparent that IT is to
Englands interest that the Manchurian
wedge should be driven. so as TO prevent
Russia from dominating the Japan sea.
AS the situation now presents itself,
England and Russia must be at serious
cross-purposes. and II follows that
whether hostilties are resumed or not at
the expiration Of the armistice We may
expect the most exciting news regarding
the fnal settlement 70 come from Lon
don and st. Petersburg.

The Democratic Party sdn Alive.

The wish is father TO the thought of
those persons who hold that 1t is already
settled that the next President Of the
United States is to be Republican, mono
metalllst. and protectionist, and there
fore bitterly opposed 10 the free coinage
Of silver There's many a slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip" In 1874, the Demo
cratic party was in a condition not unlike
In some respects its present condition.
But at the last moment, even after the
delegates TO the Democratic National Con-
yention had assembled we think. the
leaders made n new issue, and declared
FOR the annexation OF Texas 10 this
country. The result was the election Of
James X. Polk. a man comparatively I'M
known. over the great Henry Clay. Let
this one example serve TO warn the Re
publicans not 10 be over-sanguine when
they come 10 the work Of making esti-
mates OF the relative strength which the
two parties will manifest in the next
presidential election. II is one thing to
count the votes after they are cast and
mother thing TO count them before they
are cast.
We make these remarks because. in
speculating upon the probable result OF
the presidential election OF next year, the
Boston Herald calls attention to what
II says is one fact worthy Of attention
namely. the singularly small extent
TO which the Democratic party is now
a factor In the calculation. As we have
intimated, we do not agree that this is n
fact. We doubt not that the Boston
Herald and all the rest OF the Mugwump
papers will set their words TO another
tune little more than twelve months
hence. They will find out before that
time that the Democratic party is ready
for the fray, and will give n good ac-
count Of itself in November, 1896. though
the Herald says now that the Democratic
leaders are suggesting no list of candi-
dates from which the candidate may be
selected, whilst the Republicans will at
moments notice name Reed, Mckinley.
and other possible Republican nominees.
We do not feel alarmed at the prospect
OF defeat which the Herald sets before us.
The Democratic party is alive-full or
life. 1t is bent upon winning the presi-
Dental race OF next year. Indeed, we
cannot imagine how the Boston Herald
reaches the conclusion that there are no
men in the Democratic party prominent
enough 10 be named at present as the
probable or possible nominee. With such
material TO select from as Stevenson.
Whitney, Hill, and others who might be
named, the Democrats will surely not
suffer from a lack OF prominent aspi-

summer and Our Water supply.

Our people want plenty Of water this
summer. Those OF them who live on
high points In the city were on short al
lowance last year. Towards the close or
the season there was some Improvement
in the supply, but for months and months
many water-takers had to pay full price
for half OF a supply.
We wish that the experts, whose advice
the Committee on Water have decided
TO ask, would help TO devise plan for
the immediate relief Of water-takers, as
well as a plan for the permanent enlarge
ment Of the water-works.
II may be several years before our city
will be justified in making a large issue
OF bonds. So, II possible. arrangements
ought to be made to tide US along in an
inexpensive way until the time comes
when we can make the large expenditure
needed.
We say, III possible" because we don't
know that any temporary arrangement
will carry US satisfactorily over the sum-
mer: but we remember that towards the
close Of last summer an effective device
for the improvement OF the high point
service was adopted, which was either
| not available, or had not been thought
| Of earlier in the season.
In short, our present aim should be 10
meet the demands Of the city for the
| coming summer, and then go on to make
permanent arrangements. arrangements
which will anticipate the growth OF the
| Aty for the next twenty years.

Announcement is made OF the death IN
London of MIR. william Noel sainsbury.
long and favorably known in historical
circles.
More than forty years ago Mr.. Sains-
bury received an appointment In the old
State Paper-Oflce in London. and at once
evinced great aptitude for the duties OF
his position. He was long employed in
arranging the vast accumulations OF
public records, then first systematically
undertaken, into the three great series in
which they are now classified in the spa
cious apartments In Fetter Lane. Many
years ago. at the instance Of our State
authorities. Mr.. Salisbury collected and
sent here TO Richmond numerous valuab bic
State papers relating TO the early history
Of Virginia. He was an amiable and &C
complished gentleman. and lived useful
life. His age was 70 years.

But whatever the Republicans do. I'M
less there is a decided change In the
political aspect. they have no occasion
TO fear the Democrats as opponents in
the next presidential election.-Boston

Then they have no occasion to fear
any party; for certainly the Democratic
party is stronger than any Of the epheme-
raj parties.
II President Cleveland would appoint
delegates to the international blmetallic
conference and use his influence 10 have
that conference assemble at an early day.
the whole aspect Of things might be
changed before the time for the meet
ing OF the Democratic National Conven-
ton OF next year. But. unfortunately. the
President cannot be relied upon 10 do
what we have suggested.

Tro,,ev Road. vs.. steam Roaa.

At one OF the legislative hearings at
Hartford last week. counsel for tbs
steam roads showed the immense losses
Ia local passenger traffic which the pa.
yellel electric lines were infiicting upon
the steam lines And the steam roads.
1t would seem, expect the Legislature to
protect them from this ruinous competi-
ton.
The Springfield Republican says that
the exhibit is an astonishing one This
exhibit shows the number OF strictly
local passengers carried by the steam
road between the stations named during
the six months ending with February,
