Tho last theory which has been start ed to account for the extraordinary Importance attached to the visit of the Russian fleet to Toulon Is that Russia proposes to set a price upon her alle giance with France, and that the price Is non-lnterfcrence by France In a new Russian movement upon Turkey. Peo ple who pretend to be well Informed say that M. dcGlers has offered M. Carnot at least the moral support of Russia against Germany, provided France will tie England's hands when Russia next moves on the line of the Balkan. For over a century the leading Idea of Russian policy has been the con qvfst of Turkey and the establishment of a third Russian capital at Constan tinople. Fifteen years ago that dream wes on the eve of renll .atlon. The Rus sian outposts were within sight of the minarets of the Turkish capital. With tho braggadocio of t.e Jingles, Lord Bcaconsflold moved tho British fleet Into tho Bosphrus and Imported a di vision of Indian Sepoye to Cyprus. But tha English demonstration was merely a bluff. If everything elBe had been favorable, Russia would have oc cupied Constantinople and set England at defiance. It was perfectly well kmwn at St. Petersburg' that a war with Russlai for the protection of the "unspeakable Turk" would have been Intensely distasteful to the English peo ple. If no one1 but the British minister hnd objected, the cabinet at St. Peters burg would have proceeded with Its work. But a new foe sprung up where he wns least expected. The congress which met to arrange terms of peace met at Berlin. Its presiding officer was Prince Bismarck. He dominated the body. What his secret object was no one ever knew. His conduct has always been a mystery. But ho took ground In favor of Turkey, Insisted on the an nulment of the treaty of San Stophano, and practically robbed Russia of the fruit of the campaign. Trlnce Gorts cliukoft was profoundly humiliated, but he submitted. His hand wns forced by the publication of a, secret treaty, of fi nslve and defensive, between England and Turkey. The event, It may be re marked, appears to demonstrate the rdvanlage of our ruli with regard to treaty making over the English rule. Parliament, would hardly have rnlllU d I.trd ncacongfleld's secret treaty of June 4, 1S7S. So matters have rested for fifteen Mis. It must not be supposed that nny change has taken place In the purposes of RubsIo. That la a power which does not change Its Intentions, Jt wanted Turkey in the days f,f Su- wnrrow. It wanta it Just as badly to- U.iy. And it goal Is nearer to Its bund now than It ever was. The condl Hon of British India forbids the trans fer of sepoy to the Bosphorua. Every layonet In tho Indian army is needed to MMntaln British authority at Man! I'it and to support the British advance through Burmah. Turkey agreed, aa oi ndltlon of the English treaty, of 1878, lo rftodernlie its institution and to riot out demoralisation in the public sorvl.. It has done neither. Its bud- pet shows an annual deficit of two or three millions; when it wanted money the other day It had to pledge ha In i rt-wlpt and Intrust the collection to foreigners. Austria, with a aeethlng discontent In Bohemia and a Handing dispute with Hungary, ta In no condi tion to undertake wars except In self. d.'iVnu.'. If France aequlsce In Rua- :::'z r.:V.r ..-s. th tiy real oUUde In their way will be removed, for Ger man Interference would afford France the opportunity she has been waiting for to renew the Franco-German war All this Is being said in European diplomatic circles. How much founda tion there may be for it remains to be seen. It may be nothing; but Idle tal. But Europe seldom remains quiet frr more than a generation. Stranger things might happen than a sudden outbreak of war in the Balkan country. BEST KIND OF CHARITY. The winter months are now fairly upon us, and In a little while the d'ls tiess that exists In this city among peo ple who are unable to find work will be emphasized in all its wretchedness ai:d poverty. While the condition of affairs In this respect here has been exaggerated by a few irresponsible poo. pie Into proportions far greater than the truth, it is an absolute fact thut many among our citizens will soon be reduced to a state of seml-starvallon. Many for the first time In their lives will bo compelled to resort to any kind of manual labor to keep the wolf from the door; many too, will have to swal lew their pride and beg for work or, falling to find that, for food. This deplorable condition of affairs Is one that calls for every effort on the pnrt of those who are In affluent or comfortable circumstances to allevlute as far as possible. We know that As toriaiis ;re liberal enough, but liberal ity, or rather the desire to be liberal, counts for nothing when It Is only pas sive. You should be up and doing, hinting up distress, prying Into dark corners, to flni some charitable deed that you can do, and then going aheal to the best of your ability and doing It. Remember the old motto, "Charily begins at home," and revise it this winter so that it may read "Charity begins next door." An man, woman or child that Is wil ling to work can make this paper the medium through which the fact can be conveyed to the public. We have started today a labor bureau, and will In every future Issue run a list con taining tha names of people out of employment, with the kind of labor they want to take, and the address where communications can And them. We earnestly ask people who desire to cir.ploy help to look over our labor bureau column every morning and to give work to those whose names ap pear there, whenever possible. WASTED SYMPATHY. The Rev. Leon Haupts Is evidently a gentleman of very great discrimina tion, and a nianellous physiognomist, too. He takes exception to the manner in which we sized Cp Rleter, the mur derer, and says: "The unfortunate man has the gloom of death constantly before him. The pleasures and troubles of this life have lost all charms. The only occupation Hint tuk'B up his time at present Is to die well, and that by patient endurance of punishment ho has accomplished the ends of divine Justice." This la all very sod and all very effecting. But the day before yesterday this ame holy prisoner who Is "trying to die well," wrote a villainous screed that tho Jail officials call a "poem." Here are a few stanzas: "We. are a Jolly crowd of Jail blids, You can find us any night, In , one-story house on Benton street. Up towards the hill turn to the right. Reiter Is the masher, Mirthful, light-hearted and gny, He Is dreadfully fond of the ladles, At least that's what Uiey say. Then three times three for our little band. And as we curl the smoke on high, We will sing thj songs of sinners, Hoping we will never die." The Rev. Leon Houpts does not seem to have struck It exactly right. There Is a discrepancy somewhere that we are at a loss to account for. We only want to say over again, and to emphasize the statement that this Reiter Is a cold blooded hound on whom all sympathy or compassion Is alto- gether lost. He Is one of those wretches that help to stir men's souls to acts of horrible barbarism, and in the putting out of whose life all the tortures of the Inquisition might be Justifiably em Ployed. VWe ask Sheriff Smith in the name of humanity to keep this fiend's Insolence from the publio ear, to deny him communication with any but min isters of religion, and to treat him. until tho day he swings as meat for carrion from the gallows, as he would treat a mad dog. Think of .the horrible blasphemy on Justice, the slur on every noble eentl ment that springs up In the breasts of mankind, when our wives and children see us use this vile hound like a pom- red plaything see us throw aside the memory of his poor, butchered victim, and laugh playfully at the foibles of the butcher! Cast off this damnable stupidity, once and for all. Let lieiler di in the full knowledge that he gis to bis fate accursed and reviled of all men that have ever heard his name.

A recent New York dispatch reads: "James C. H , a line looking and apparently healthy man, was observed to stagger while walking on Fifth Avenue this afternoon, and after taking one or two un certain steps fell to the sidewalk. When picked up he was dead. A physician ex amined the body ,and pronounced AearfrfiseaM the cause of death. A peculiarly sad feature of Hie case is that Mr. II was on his way to Maine, to settle in the home of his boyhood. Ho had passed the previous ten yeurs in the western mining country, and had amassed a fortune. If YOU haveany of tho symptoms given in the foltowingtestimonials you should lose no time in seeking reiiei. From John L.
