4 Note of Narniur.

Lord Roberts. who is acknowledged to
be one of the highest British military
authorities. and who is thoroughly posted
upon all questions involving India and
her relations with China and Japan. has
been giving the British public such a
shaking up touching the Far-East situa-
ton as TO divert. in considerable measure,
their attention from the Turkish problem.
In an address delivered last week Lord
Roberts declared that if England intends
to maintain her commercial supremacy in
the Far East, she must be prepared for
events more startling and unexpected
than those that have occurred in the last
twelve months He urged that Great Bri-
tain must depart from the policy Of disre-
garding everything that takes place be-
yond the northwest frontier Of India. and
that if she would hold her own as one
OF the great Powers she must. no matter
what the cost, be mistress of the seas
! and, besides having a navy sufficiently
powerful TO give her that position, must
maintain a well organized, equipped. and
trained army ready 10 be transported
whenever the presence OF British soldiers
may be necessary. In view of the re-
ports concerning Russias latest intrigues
in the Far East. Lord Roberts's note OF
warning would seem especially timely
| and significant.

The DIspntch's Position.

We regret that we cannot pifase an OF
our contemporaries In our uiscusS'o"9
OF the questions involved In the shNe'
problem. We are so greatly misunder-
stood. and. we might say. so misiepre-
scented that we hardly know ourselves

free coinage Of silver at the ratio OF 10
TO I was not practicable and yet We
apneor in some Of our exchanges as turn
coats or the silver question.
A We said recently 10 one Of our
exchanges. when we ask the freedom
age Democrats whether they are going
70 bolt the nominations of the Demo
cratic National Convention, we make Inc
inouirv by way Of argument; and We
have again and again brought ont the
argument We have never said harsh
word Of the iree-coinage Democrats ana
Il does seem strange 10 Us that our con-
,onporaries cannot see the point We
make. our argument is In brief, that
as IL is already settled (as we think II Isl
that the Democratic National Convention
will declare for sound money. the Demo-
crats-those OF the South particularly
should prepare themselves 10 stand upon
that platform. And we proceed to argue
logically. we think-that, in the event
supposed. the advocates OF unlimited Tree
coinage will either have TO change over
TO the side Of sound money or else VIII
have to bolt the nominations of the
Democratic party. and refuse to stand
upon our platform. This is the whole
OF our offence We have endeavorcd TO
bc scrupulously courteous TO our jour
nalistic contemporaries, as well as 10
every free-silver Democrat in the land.
We have said not one word which
could come up IN judgment against US
if the frce-silver Democrats should Sc
cure control Of the Democratic National
Convention and declare for free silver
az well as nominate a free-silver Demo-
crat for President. And here we would
repeat. that We have never called
in question the consistency and in
tcgrty Of the silver Democrats who
may 20 as delegates 10 the national con-
vention.
But We are asked why We do not
PROFOUND our questions TO the gold-bugs?
We answer. because, from our point
OF view. it is already settled that they
will secure a sound-money platform. and
will have no temptation 10 bolt.
But enough. We assure all concerned
that We have no Interior objects TO ac-
complish: and we will add that we
are ready now 10 pledge the Dispatch TO

Hope Deferred.

Boston speech. the New York journal Of
Commerce says.
I'VE may as well admit now as when
II is too late ,nat we are uow Verging
upon point ia this arrangement at
which deferred hopes Of repair will be
abandoned and apprehension for the fu-
ture c0rrespondngly encouraged. There
is now no one thing that could effectively
revive hope of remedy except a serious
conference between the Treasury and the
banks. with a view to the restoration Of
those former relations which always SUI

volume. The government will assume a
most unwarranted responsibility If 1t pro-
ceeds TO negotiate another loan Of fifty
millions before it has earnestly conferred
with the banks for a return TO the status

1t is indeed, a clear case that the
government cannot continue to borrow
fifty millions Of dollars whenever its gold
shall fall short. If there is any such
way as the Journal of Commerce hints at
