Allison, S NUSINESS LEGISLATION WANTED, Tt is stated that members of the senate are recelving remonstrances from com- inland logal associations aguinst iving much attention to political mensures when there are other matters bef ross which to them appear of reater importance to the people. Th linterests of the country want the tariff question disposed of and would like an expression from congress regard- al bankruptey law, though this there Is porhaps no It is important to the business of the couutry, however, that the tavilf matter should be settled, so that contracts for the futare m bo wvisedly, Thereis other work to done of great importance to the gen- welfare which ought not to be await- ing nction in idsummer when more 50 e con comme nation to urgeney, made soason has hoen than seven months in session, Just now the national eapital ave un- favorable to arduouscongressional lubor, The heat has driven one-third of the members of the house out of the city and th ho remain dis form lit while effoct ture up ment: ing thy should conditions at the as the senato under the circumstances they iesitate to enter upon a discus- n of the tariff bill, but for wasted time should have they are cen- that to thisand «urable wing devoted slation y political. been in the consid- The other husiness leg ation of matters pure that have b the question of adopting a rule to limit debate and to what course to with r to the federal on bill were a waste of y it not of time, that sen- ators might wisely have spared them- caneuse consider pur ference tves hasmade corks aecomplished, iatever differencoof apinign there may of the work, but 1 uncommonly slow. 1t was responsible for the delay of silver logi iy to the political and the de- 101 subjects hoen so pro- The house of represen acreditable record of bo s to the character the senate has b on, due 1 s0f afe lay in the consideration of ot would ne mator rdoubtedly not hav not certain s make political Wo do it can fairly be infe remonstr of comme wgainst givin, to political is de- d in hostility to the election bill, but it is safe to say that if the question of ndopting that measure were submitted to such sssociations the large majority of their members would be found unfa- vorable to it, This congress should ha ve devoted itself exclusively to the task of devising legisiation for improving the business and advancing the prospe the st at the pres session, The opportunity for the re- publican party to show its ubility to sub- sorve the matevial interests of the people and its willingness to place this before every other consideration was one which its representatives ‘in congress should not have permitted any matters of purely political concern to interfere with, The demand was for practical statesmanship.

In the senate lust Mon, referring 1o the rogular appropristion bills and including some cstimates for others, soid that the approprintions would amount in the a te to three hundred and fifty-nine million dellars, Tn reply to an iuquiry he staied that he did not in- clude in this estimate the permanent appropriations, amounting to about one hundred miliion dollars, “I only in- clude,” said Mr. Allison, “‘the regular appropriation hills, including the riv and harbor bill and all defipiencic Thus we have us th tures of the government for the fiseal year four hundred and fifty-nine mil- lion dollars, to which must be added the cost of the dependent pension bill, the lowest estimate of which is thirty-five million dollars, but which may amount to fifty million, There is omitted from this caleulution, also, the estimated of subsidy and other measures, which would ine e it sev- eral millions. Four hundredand ninety: five mitlion dollars is therefore the sun which the government must meet in the presont fiscal year, according to M. Allison’s figures, if the approprintions now proposed go through and the lenst estimate of the cost of the dependent poasion bill is not ex- ded. The s ¢ of the troasury last Decomber estimated the receipts of the government for the fiscal y 1590-01 at three hundred and eighty-five million dollars. Assuming thut this amoung will be realized, the throatonad deficit is one hundred and nine million dollars, but proposed contemplates a reduction of revenue to the extent of from fifty to sixty million dollars, which, if accomplished, would swell the deficit to that amount. Under the most favorable cirewn- stanc taking the statement of Sen- ator Allison as correct, the outlook is that the expenditures of the government for the current fiscal year will exceed the ravenues by between one hundred and one hundred and twenty million dollars, Mr. Cannon, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, gives a wholly different aspect to the situation. He estimates the appropriations dt three hundred and fifty million dollurs and the revenues at four hundred and sixty-seven million, leavinga surplus of one hundred and seventeen million dollars to meet the requirements of the new pension law and the estimated reduction of tariff taxation to the umount of sixty million dollars, This calculation contemplates the suspension of the sinking fund, y Mr. cost | held to discuss probable expendi- | tarift logislation | amounting to forty-nine million dollars. It would be pleasing to be able to regord as corroet the estimates of the chairman of the house appropristions committes, but there is no reazon to doubt either the ability or honesty of Senator Allison in o matter of this kind, and ment was carefully made to the senate in response to o request for the informa- tion. At any rateit is obyious that con- gress has gone as far as it safely can go in making approprintions, and that not | another dollar should be voted for any | purpose not bsolutely necessary. — EVERY destructive fire in large cities is an object lessons onthe dangers of the overhend wire systom.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS, Undoubtedly Russia has beena good deal irritated by the exceution of Major Pamtza for conspiving against the life of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgas and there are signs that she proposes to use this circumstance us aprefext foradvancing her designs in Southeastern Europe. Much criticism has | been indulged in by the Russian jpress of late | in regard to the course pursued by M. | Stambouloff,the Bulgarian prime minister. His administration has undoubtedly been a stern one; -but the condition of the country has justified his policy, and its welfare certainl; pends upon the continuance of his rul some time to come. The mann in which M. Stambouloff has triumphed over bis political opponents is proof of his posses sion of statesmanlike qualitics. He has disembarrassed himself of his conservative cotleagues. He presides over a cabinet of his loyal adherents, -ommands an overwhelem- ingz majority in the leislature, enjoys the con- { fidence of Prince Ferdinand, and has the whole | Bulgarian people at his back. He has acted upon the doetrine that prevention is botter than cure; he has nipped all threaten- 1 ing evilsin the bud and erushed his enemies before they could erash him. 1t is quite con- ceivable that Russia, recoguizing M. Stam- boulofl’s iniluence with his countrymen, should have endeavored to win him to her side; and, failingin this, that she should brand him as adictator. His fortunes are bound up with those of Prince Ferdinand, for whose aeceptance of the Bulgarian throne heis mainly sponsible, and his place in history will depend upan the prince’s sue On the other hand, Russia’s terms ar removal of the prince, the election of a new prince of the orthodox faith and an en- gagement on the part of Bulgaria to act as Russia’s ally in case of war. And it was characteristic of M. Stambouloff, when these proposals wore submitted to him, that he should that the Bulgarians were not likely to be caught a second time in the same trap. In 188 they sacrificed a prince to Russia, and received from her in return o dictator in the person of General Kaulbas cess, There is aspecial reason why they who wish well to Spain view with regret the ac- cession of the conservatives to coutrol n the government at this time. The present;Cortes have witncssed the fultilment of Sagasta's se to give his fellow subjects universal which was to be exercised for the first time at the next general clection, It i of obvious importance that on such an ocea- toral machinery should be in the 1ds of the friends of the reform, and not in those of enemies who have sturdily resisted it. The liberals felt sure that with univer 2o they would obtain an immense provided the votes were freely cast anid honestly counted, and on that accouut even the most suspicious and intractable ro pubiicans believed that tho liberal chief, Sagasta, would abide by the assurance that no officlal intevference with the electons should take place. Confident thav for the first tme since 1874 they would have & representation in the lower house of the Cortes proportionate to their strength in the country, most of the repub- licans were disposed to giveup, or at all of revolution, and mit for the the rule of the queen re; I, on the other hand, that under the expert and unserupu- lous manipulation of Canoval’s universal suf- frage will prove as utter & mockery as it was under the French second empive. Thence forth despairing of a coustitutional propaga- tion of their opiuions, they will revert to the doctrine reached by Zorilla, that to overthrow the monarchy is the solc resource of lovers of liberty in Spain, With the fall of Sagasta vanishes the last chance of effocting the mili- 'y veforms, which by those conversant with the state of things in Spain are recognized as scarcely less indispensable than the extension of the suffrage. e Alittle more and the population of the great nations of Europo will become vast his state- | the | oare not behiud, (iormany and Austein-tlun- Kary in preparisg for the tromendous crash of arms that Cdnoral Von Moltke has “for more than tef soars” seen pending “like the sword of Damoglas” I we are to believe a statement made in the Gorman roichstag, the signal of war would almost convert these na- tions futo an armedcamp. By that statoment the war footlug pf France was placed at 4,300,000 men ; that of Russia, 2,579,000; that of Germany, 2%0,00; thatof Austria-Fun- gary, 1,150,000; that of Italy, 1,00),000, or an ), In the face of these figures well mizhy Von Moltke exclaim: “Woo to him who sets, fire to Europe and is the flirst to apply tho torch to the magazine!” I'he peace footings are not of course so great.

But tho cost of these armies, smallas thoy are compared with the war footings, is a crushing weight. The pub- lic debts of the five powers named are con- stantly increasing; thelr finance ministers are put to their wits' ends to find ways to raisc the money required to meet their grow- ing expenditures, Scarcely one of them is ableto bulance his books, Not one of them within the past five years has escaped the disgrace of a deficity s Tsraelites have heen always and are still so harshly treated in Russia that it is hard to understand Low their condition there can bo made worse by the fact that some of the Nihilist p convieted in Paris 1 Hebrews. The Iuropean anti-semitic crusade has ever had its focusin the Muscovite em- pive, and pevsecution of the Hebrews went sometimes to such extremitios in Russia that the Rothsehilds and other Hebrew bankers in Europe were asked by their co-veligionists not to lend their support to the numerous loans placed by the St. Petersburg govern- ment, upon the bourses of Beclin, London, Paris and Vienpa, That porsecution was 8o barbarous about the years 18774 that Mr. Wostermann, Uuited States Churge dAffaires at St. Petersburg, joined his ndly efforts to those of Benjamin Peixotto, then American consul general in Roumania, where Hebrew also porsecuted, in o to fmprove their miserable condition. These efforts we crowned with suc for a time, but soon theanti-Semite war was taken up again by the Russians and the Roumanians, At any rate, the pretext to enforce again “stringent agalust the Hebrews,” drawn from the Nihilist plot in Paris, Is a steange o because the French courts have acquitted Mr, Mendelsohn, a Hebrew, who has been represented to be the leading spivit of that A the twoothor Israclites who bave been found guilty ave freethinkers and pr fessional revolutionists.

It was the landing of French navalofficers o order the removal of the Newfoundlanders' huts and nets which promised to make the existing compli- cations really grave. The execution of the treaty belongs toGreat Britain, The French are only entitléd to call attention to infrac tions of it and ask for redress, It is for the Bhitish naval ofticers to seo that. Newfound- landers respect it Accordingly the practico onthe spot is mow so amerdx that the French officers complain to the British offl- cers, who then see that right is done. But that any colony will submit to the usufruct of their shore and waters by forcigners very much longer is most unlikely. 1f the French aro not bonght out by the home government, the Newfoundlanders will certainly discover some other way of getting rid of ther e Ttaly and France want the Anglo-German division of Africa submitted to an interna- tional conference ¥ claims rights on the Somali coast and other concessions from the sulian of Zanzibar which Germany promised to guaranteo, and is not satisfied with the concession made in respect to her rights in the a country and Abyssinia. France complains of the Zanzibar protectorate as con- trary to the understanding since 1862, and the Siecle says that France refused such a pro- tectorate when offered by the sultan, on the very ground that. it would be a violation of treaty rights to accent it. The Siecle also as- serts that Russia will support the French project, and quotes the Nord of Brussels, which it describes as “‘the organ of Russian chuncelle to prove this. Finally, the Siecle's opinton is that England will finally buy out France in Africa as well as in New- foundland.
