As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medinm it hns no competitor. ‘The visit of M. de Giezs, the Russian chan- selior, to the capitals of France and Germany has given rise to much talk concerning the peace of Europe. The probabilities are that the treaty arranged between France and Rus- sia by M. de Giers and Ribot was more than a defensive one, although for reasons of state the deliverances op. the subject from Berlin through the former statesman were confined to the view that no offensive alliance was tien eoncluded. ‘There is also reason for thinking that the czar declined to have ali of the usual formaiities on the occasion, holding them to be Atterly useless where a right understanding ‘tas been reached between friendly powers. It seems to be agreed that Russia's views are dia- metrically opposed to those of the triple alliance in the vital matter of the observance of the treaty of Berlin That treaty, which superseded the pro-Kussian abortive treaty of San Stephano, did not contemplate either the English occupation of Egypt or the absorp- tion of Roamelia by Bulgaria and the rule over the latter of a dynasty opposed to Russian in- terests. Russia, therefore, would enforce the treaty in all strictness, to do which would not only keep England away from the Nile, but place a friendly ruler on the Bulgarian throne and perhaps cause Austria to evacuate Herze- govina or make some equivalent concession for iis occupation. The Danubian or Constanti- sopolitan question is further complicated in a} small degree by the uncertainty of Roumania’s attiti ‘This kingdom, the firet country in Kussia’s way inte Turkey in the event of war, is friendly to her, but with 2 monarch who Jeans naturally on family grounds to the triple @liiance. But something else is likely to prove sore embarrassing to the German side of the ease; it is the probability that the English lib- erais will win the next parliament and estrange England from the great aggregation against Kussia and France. Whether its place can be supplied in part from the land of the Vikings i: somewhat problematical.

Scandinavian peninsula are hostile to Russia naturaily. ++ ‘The roport of the New York commissioner of labor deals elaborately with the eight-hour law, the equities of capital and labor, labor progress at home and abroad, &e. ‘The great question of the hour in industrial circles is the agitation for an eight-Lour work day. ‘Le argument for at is thus compendiously stated: The condition of the Jaboring class can be generally improved and the enforced idleness be removed by adopt- ing a short working day. The object is to m- erease the number of workers. About one- fifth of the population of the United States is constantly unemployed and therefore depend- ent on the other four-fifths. The economic as- sumption is that it is better ten men should work for eight hours and every man support himself that eight men should work for ten hours to support one or two in unwilling idleness. Labor creates wealth. Spciety cau produce more than it can consume. Eight hours of labor furnish the maximum of pro- duction with the expenditure of « given amount bysical or mentai force. ‘ihe worth of pro- duction does not depend upon the rate of wages, nor the amount of production upon the houts of iabor per day. But the produe- tion of wealth, it is contended by the eight- hour advoeates, is m proportion to the moral and inteliectual de + of the producers, and such devel nted by a reduc- of tion of the ho: . The improvement of the cor di-iou of labor makes for the general improv: . Opinions in favor of the short- ening of the work day are cited by the com- missioner from Senators Hoar, 1 Mitchell, ex'Senators Edmunds, Ingalls a: Biair, Cardinal Mani Hill, President Low of Columbia € Felix Adier and many others. — The administration of Secretary Tracy in the Navy Department bas been conspicuous not oaly for the euergy and ability shown in the enlargement and increased general ef- ficieney of the navy, but in the improved political methods that differentiate his from some previous administrations. The course of civil service reform owes mach to the Secretary | for bis vigorous action in putting an end to the great abuses that existed in the department. ‘The New York Epoch, not apt to praise repub- Tican officials, and pubiished near enough to the Brooklyn navy yard to make its comments valuable, says that the employment there of many new men and the making of many changes during the iate exciting political can- vass were made upon tests of titness, aud that it is admitted that politics had nothing todo} with the employment, discharge or promotion | efmen. The good exampic of the Navy De partment should be followed by all the others, ——-+ 2 The English conservatives are in a pichia If they do not bring in # home rule bill, they will violate their pledges. If they do, they will give offense to the liberal unionists and some of the tories themselves. After Lard Salt bury and others had agreed to a measure the Birmingham conference deliberately resolved to postpone it to take up English and Scotch bills. The conservatives are fast hastening to their doom, as all the by-ciections show. - os - ‘The gathering of a strong saundron of the United States navy in the West Indies is not al menace, but a precautionary measure.
