O.her countries have learned moic or less to rrgard the pres ervation of penes aa the beat national policy. Ituuia alone followp, at this day of changed ideas, the maxims of barbaric and semi civilized nations. It seeks aggrandisement by making war and by seizing tho possessions of others the good old plan, they shall tako who mny, and they may keep who cm. It is ever In mischief; now it bullies Turkey, then it worrioj the people of the Ilalknns, then it is sub duing B3ine hordo in the deserts, and it is continunlly extending its pro vinces and adding to it already for midable power, llu'gria is kept in continual hot water, owing to the Czar's dislike of Alex ander, it) King. Rim ian agents are reported as swarming hi Macedonia. The peop'e uf Servla are in a state of Bemi-rebellion against their King, Milan, whom they compelled to fight Bulgaria and now refuse to meet the expense by opposing the payment of the war tnxej. They nro lees patient than wo, who tamely submit to pay war taxes a quarter of a century after the war is over. That Russia is help ing the disturbance is likely, While thus making or encouraging disturb ance at the very doord sp of Turkey, Russia is mercilessly dunning the Sul tan to pay money owing for indemnity it incurred the latt time Russia In vadrd it. At tho conclusion of the Crimean war Russia agreed to keep its Jleet out of tho Black tea ; come yeara ago she announced that sho would no longer observe thnt pat of tho treaty, and sailed her warships there as before. At her last war with Turkey shesoized theouly good harbor in it, Batouin; the treaty of Rerlin unsigned thnt port to Russia on its engagement that the place should ha a free port, open to all nations. filio has now broken that pledge, nnd has made Cntoum a close poll. Hho is alto massing her troops ard is expected ti make war on Aus tria, while tho cloture of Baton in is believed to be aimed at Knglnud be cause thnt country favored Bii'gvln in opposition to Russia. It loofah u, time that the l'uoiieau luliuis, lor tbe'rown s f ty, ahou'd unite to put down this bloodthinty, treaty break jnglpower, and putting it down as they put down Bonapaite when ho disre garded hit engagements. Russia wants serving as we Bhould like to aerve tho vast estates smuggled by the monopolists dividing tip. THE REM tl)T FOR NrKIKKH. A better demaud for merchandise and the proipect of a good fall trade has increared the demand for labor. This, with the miction that follows struggle, has caused a lull in the label ngitation. It is but a lull, and not a cessation; to believe otherwise will he to err. Tho hst thing that can be done during the lull is to prepare against the renewal of agitation by providing a safety valve that will rn ducs tho number and decreoaa the virulence of strikes. Thosa who have had labor troubles to deal with much longer than th a United fstatcs have found conciliation and arbitration tho only means of satisfying discontent and allaying etrile. Conciliation is brought about by the mesting together of the representatives of the employers and the employed, who together discuss diflerences, and where possible make mutual con cessions and so arrive at a fair decis ion, acceptable to both parties. If the ' process of conciliation fail arbitration is resorted to. The lmdon corre spondent of the Hjfcton Admliter writes to that paper the result of In vestigations be has been making as to the construction and working of the reconciliation and arbitration bodies. He has received valuable aid from the president of the Board of Trade, Mr. Mundella. Mr. Thomas Burt, for merly a miner, now a member of Parliament, has supplied him with in .formation reporting lubor dispute settlements, in which ltiista ed that in the north of England coal trade op to twenty yeara ago strikes were very numerous, but for many years pant they have been practically unknown. When diflerences arise at any paitica lar mine, six representatives each from employers and men meet tcgetber with an independent person as chair man, who has the casting vota in t&ta ol a "tie." It hss resulted as one set tled point of this calm way of settling disputes, that the best way of arrang ing wagfs is by the sliding scale, wages rising or falling accord ng to the au thor'zed quotations of the colling price of the material produced. Where tho nature of the business admits of this plan, it is found more eatisfactory than any other. In same trade departments in this country the scale plan has been adopted. In the north of Eng land they have no permanent board of arbitration, but many think one de sirable. Only ones of late years in Northumberland has there been a strike, tho employers refusing t9 agree to arbitration. When arbitration Is resorted to, each side ap points two arbitrators. If these fail to agree they appoint an umpire, whose decision is final. In that country and in Durham there bave been only eight resorts to arbitration since 18711. The awards there were Invariably accepted, not a mino Stop ping work for a day. In other parts of England there aro some variations cf detail from this northern system, but the general mode of proceeding Is about the same everywhere. There is an investigation of the circumstances in dispute, points of agreement are brought oat, and where employers and men aro on amicable terms, fair c oncost ion settles the rest. Where there is a general question of the rise or fall of wages, the proceedings are conducted with special care and do liberation, and usually without undue exci'oment. The men continue J their work while the repre sentatives settle the matter. If no settlement can bo arrived a', then a strike Is reported to. In ono district tho judge of a court is the umpire. When conciliation fails the men who know having been unable to decide the ma'ttr, they ask the man who does not know to decide it for them. While there is no angry or excited feeling mnong ourselves, and men and omployers are working in harmony, our manufacturing and transportation people Bhould agree upen come (iich plan es the English bave found to an swer, so as to avoi J future stiikes and tumults. WATEH. Fkrtinint to the water qucition, which has been opened nunin by President Latham, comes the news that th s corner stone of tho new wa'er works of Amsterdam is shoitlytobe laid, much of the work having been done. Tho water is taken from the river Vocht at a point three miles from the site of tho pumping and fil tering works. "At this point," mys the IOihIoq Timet correspondent, "the water will be lifted into deposit ing reservoiis having a united ca pacity of 18,000,000 gallons. After haying m filtered through filter beds of novel construction, the water will pss into a series of covered pure water reservoirs. From these it will be pumped up a stundplpe 232 feet in bight, and convoyed tlier.ee through two lines of parallel mains, twenty seven inches and twenty-four inches in diameter, respectively, into tho city of Amsterdam, a distance of about seven miles, The separate system of Biipply will involvo the laying of up ward of 1-0 miles of distributing pipes, including the exceptionally difficult work of crossing u:.dor no fewer than 100 of the uiuals with which Amsterdam abounds, some of which are of grot width and depth."

Brownsville State l)emcrat: Our readers will find elsewhere in the States Demoirat today an interesting personal sketch of Col. Robert F. Looney, of Memphis, Wet Tennes see's candidate for Governor. He vie ited Brownsville this week, when be met many of our citizens, who ex tended him not only a cordial wel come, but gave him substantial assur ance cf hearty snppoit in his canvaes. Col. Looney has visited various portions of the State, and every where be has been received with the kindest consideration. Bs ing the only candidate from Wist Tennossee, and in every way fitted for the high position, be inures as one of themrst formidable candidates now in the race. His own coutity, Shelby, with its seventy-six vote", will go into the convent'on solid for Col. Looney being instructed to vote for him so long as his name remains before that body and with his own eoction prac tically unanimous and with a Urge following from Middle Tennesee and some strength in E tat Tennessee, he wi l, at the outset, hs the tt oogestman presented. Col. Loooney is no chronic office seeker. He never held office but ttill he bas always eivon his time, energy and means to the Democratic party. Ho believes that the tendency of the Rmublican party is to foster monopolies and thus to make thn rich richer and the poor poorer, and that tho Deniosratx party is the party for the people. The party cou'd not se lect a better man than Col. Looney es its standard b.arer in the coming race. Ha is able, worthy, eloquent and ablo to cope with the Republican nominee.

How Ihfy Ilnve done From Bnd to Worse Tne Folly er a Dual Njs tem of Government. To the Editors of the Appeal: Oifobd, Miss., July 8. As your paper h?s a vary wide escalation in Mississippi, I nhh to call attention to an article which lately appeared in it in regard to tbe rxtraordinary action of the Board of Trustees. Perhaps the woid extraordinary wruld be inap propriate to tliis board, though it would apDly io any ottier. I do not know whether to cdl it an experi mental or an e.tperimtnling b ard. Our corernots seem ta bave thought that lawytrj alone were cumpetent to or ganize and conduct an ins'.itntion of learcicg, and they have tried tbe ex periment of making our body of tuis- e' s adore corporation d lawyer), l be ieve that by tbissnus arcidenial side wind, two pt-rsonp, not lawjer', ha7e been drilled mto tbe board, and one of them is rf ported to have ntd es toon as he learnea the material of whi'jh the body was compoEed. Now lawyers are very ntcastary perrons, si to speak, ii dispensable in some casee, our Governors rjera to think in all catcs yi t they would hadly Belrct them as arch tect', or n'anagers of a farm or railroad coramisrioners, or indeed intiu-t to them any of thtir private interests except their busicess before the courts. This experiment of our Governors i f iutruS'tinn our inhtitu tions of learning to lawyers alone has been a most egr. gioua failure, f s is ap parent t) a 1 ni :n. As the boaid was an experiment it was but natural that it should be an experimenting body. l.Vrr open to innovation?, and regard lers of the reasons of experience, ihty tried the "beiictk" p'an built cabins, sent nut missionaries, and set all the machintry in motion to produce a failure. Then thty wete eaten up with the coeducation sjfitem, which has become 'Vmall by degri es and beautifully leps." The girls are invited to Oxford, but the boys are not wel come in Columbus. Than came an experiment of reducing te salaries of, tie prifesso s, in orJer that their efficiency mipht he onbanced. The re sult of this experiment was the expul sion of all the proles. ors in a body, and en experimeDtal rer raniz 'tion. The only paiadel cife i the Keely mo'or. which claims wonderful occult pgwer of ueefnlnew, but thus far has only developed failures.

At a meet ing of the Intjrna'ional BimeWlitt Le gue.held here yof.tt-rday, the Hon. William 8. Groesheck p'i siding, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: Rttolvtd, That the compulsuy coin age of silver by the United States, under the Bland law, as a measure to na ore si vr to its old historic posi tion, is now, af'er eight years of trial, a demonstrated failure. Therefore we, as bimetallism, ask that tbe coin use of silver dol ars by tho United bta'es be suspended, waiting concur rent action among ihe great commer cial ii a ions, as the only means of se curing tt o purpose of this league, namely the restoration of both gold and silver to their proper rlaces as full legal tender money, with free coinage.

Too much boy cott; and tbe Republican party of ShelDy desorvps the thsnks cf all con servative citizens fcr putting its foot upen such prescriptive and intoler ant doctrine. Freemen will not allow any associa ion to diitite terms of la bor between employeis and operatives ; and it Is a source of sincere gratifica tion to find the more intelligent and C3DSfrvat;ve of the Knights of Labor promptly and boldly ignor ing this odious dogma of sime of tbe fanit c3 of tbat crder. Their action was timely, too, as several courts have ju;t decided that boycotting is a crime against the rich's, privileges and liber ties cf the people egiicst whom these crtzy lerdais would ftait this engine of cowardice and oppression. Shame I ishamel eternal shame upon any so ciely that will say to amanwiih a hungry family, "You can work if you w.ll agree to work on nur terms; but if you wieh to contract with Mr. A. on t9rms tbat may tuit yen both, then we will do all we can to keep you and your family hun cry." Let these chiefs of the boycot'era look over int) Arkansas, and see what their negro allies are doing there. They are on a "strike," and declare that they ill not work tbe crops unless at h'ghor wage, and tbat no one else shell -tlo bo. That's the boycotters style, is it not ? Sup pose the d' etrine was practically car ried out What would become of the crops over there? How would the negroes iive except by depredation and pil'age? Ate the boycotters o Memphis ready to encourage tbe ne groes to continue tbo strike? Are they leady to snd aid to tbe negroes, to keep the wolf from the dcor while the gras nnd the weeds are growing and a'l hands hungry? Now's the time for the boycotters of Memphis to stand by their colors. NEWS IN BRIEF. Indianapolis, Ind., July 9. f?nm Archer was banged at Shoals at 1:13 o'c'ock this aftetnoon.
