Both the French and the German semi
official newspapers have published in
spired Communications on the subject
and they all concur in praising the Car
for abandoning the Russian desire for con-
quest and completing the division of the
Asiatic continent under the single aim of
tho interests of civilization.
Whether either France or Germany is
entirely pleased with the solution of this
long pending matter is questionable.

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 2s.--There has
been singular change of late in the tone
of the French newspapers toward Great
Britain, notably in the cases of the Steele,
Matin and Temps. These papers. instead
of attacking .'perfidious Albion" as has
been their wont. have swung around and
now advocate the cultivation of French
alliance with Great Britain.
According to information from high
official quarter, the change is due to
cementing of relations between Great Brit
ain and Russia. 1t is an undoubted fact
that during the recent visit of the Gar at
Balmoral, the Queens residence in the
highlands. the nglo-Russian question
concerning boundaries in Central Asia
was absolutely settled.

The Healyites have started fund in
opposition TO the Nationalists' subscrip-
tion. initiated by Dillon under the resolu-
tion of the national convention in Septem-
ber. No great prospects existed for the
Nationalist fund from the outset, and the
Healy appeal for command of separate
fund will effectually diminish what
chance there was OF getting the necessary
aid from the Irish people.
Healy cannot hope TO get any substan-
tial response 10 his appeal, but he can in
lnre the Nationalist fund, and he has.
When the PARTY meets at the opening of
Parliament Dillon will insist upon HeaIy

abandoning their opposition or Withdraw

Communications have been reopened
between the English Foreign Office and
the French and German governments
pointing toward another conference on
the sugar bounty system. Without being
bic TO state what Government took the
initiative, it can be affirmed that official
opinion on each side favors the abolition
of the bounty premium. The Enslish
Colonial Office is constantly receiving
the worst reports of the decreasing rros-
perity of the sugar estates in the West
Indies.
1t is stated by recent mail advices
that the majority of the great planters
put five years as the limit OF the West
Indian sugar industry il the bounty sys-
tenn among European powers continues.
Ae presens the profits are almost NIL, only
the working expenses being cleared, al
though the cost OF production has been
reduced from Els to f10 per ion.
Cham berlain, who has been consulted
on the projected conference, is understood
TO think little of any agreement being
arrived at, but will not oppose the
negotiations to obtain the abolition of the
bounties.

Is THERE TO BE WAR BETWEEN IA.
Pan AND RIfSSIto

The expected war between Russia and
japan may be nearer than has been an
ticipated. News now comes that a party
of two hundred Russian marines. with a
field-gun. landed on the night of Feb
ruary 10th at Chemulpo. I'm Korea, and
marched 10 Seoul. the capital Of the coun-
try where they gave an asylum TO the
King OF Korea in the Russian embassy
guarded by them. The King was EVIDENT
~ dissatisfied with the japanese surveil-
lance that had been over him, for he left
his palace secretly for the Russian Lega-
ton, and at once proclaimed his minis
ters guilty of treason. Two OF them were
arrested. and, of course. promptly ex-
ecuted, while the others fed. and the
King at once formed an anti-Japanese
Ministry. This. no doubt, preludes
Russian protectorate over Korea, and II It
does and Japan really has any idea y
fighting Russia, this will probably be
accepted as the occasion for 1t.
1t sounds a little absurd for a power of
which we thought as we did Of the Japa-
nese twenty-five years ago going TO war
with Russia. But the Japanese are a
game people, and they have been power
fully puffed up by their successes with the
Chinese. 1t may occur.

RAMPANT PATERNALISM.

The disposition some people have TO
regulate the affairs of other people IS
one of the most prevalent weaknesses
of human nature. 1t IS seen in greater
perfection amongst the descendants OF
the Puritans in New England than any
whore else upon the globe, We believe,
but IL exists everywhere. and We. In
Virginia, are far from being totally eX-
empt from it. II can H. seen showing
itself at every session OF our Legisla-
ture. and showing itself. too. in great
force and with strong backing.
But II has nowhere cropped out in
stronger evidence than IN the petition
Of which our LoudOun county torrespon-
dent told us yesterday by the citizens
OF Taylortown. in that county praying
the Legislature 10 enact d law forbid
ding any one family To make more
than ten gallons or cider in any one
year. The reason given for TINS most
remarkable petition ia that ths apple
crop of LoudOun county was very large
last year, and as tn apple mar Set was
dun the farmers cor. serted their apples
into cider, in which form eithe' as
cider c. as vinegar. they would be able
10 preserve them until prices he, an.e
better. But hard cider Is palatable. ano
intoxicating also, and so some OF the
farmers took more of it than their
neighbors think was good for .4crh. so
that these nelghbors would pract.caly
destroy the cider industry IN Virginia 10
attend 10 the morals of a few farmers In
LoucCun county. The case is not unlike
that o. the old man wao pet,uoncd IN,
Legislature for an act iorbldding one
woman TO have more than che husband
until all had had one.
This cider case is a very extreme one
and will be pronounced very absurd by

really see TO reason why this action
should be branded as absurd and pro

be called wise. All these measures be
long to exactly the same family. Each
stands upon tho proposition that It Is the
duty OF the government TO watch over
