THE WAR CLOUD IN THE EAST.

For the first time in many years there
seems to be material out of which a Euro
pean war cloud can be made. Few years
have passed since the Franco-German war
in which the prophetic correspondents in
Europe have not furnished us European
war cloud at a probable liberal compensa-
ton per column. Time and again these
clouds, so big with war have not burst, but
have dissolved. The last ominous cloud was
discovered in the Turko-Grecian war The
Turk is at home in Thessaly, and yet there
is no general war; there is evidently some
i'll feeling among the other powers because
the Emperor William smiles encouragement
upon the Sultan.
In the situation in the Orient at the pres
ent time there appears to be a fun supply
of the ingredients out of which a real war
cloud can be made, ready to explode when
ever occasion offers. Heretofore there has
seemed to others than correspondents and
a few rulers no cause for war. There could
be no reasonable pretext for Germany and
France 10 lock horns, since jealousy and
contempt are not sufficient causes TO set
two nations at war with each other Triple
and other alliances. combinations now be-
