PRINcEs AT THE CENTENNIAL.-If If the
reports of the coming of Emperors,
princes and other important person
ages to our Centennial be true, Ameri-
cans are likely to have an opportunity
10 indulge their propensity for sight
seeing in this respect to its full extent
The Emperor of Brazil has received
leave of absence from his Legislature
and will visit the United States. The
King of Sweden thinks Of sending his
son, Prince Oscar GustavuS Adolphus,
the Swedish Crown Prince, TO the
United States during the Centennial.
And more recently a semi. official an
nouucement comes that the Crown
Prince of Germany, Frederick VIII
liam Nicholas Charles, only son Of
Emperor William, will visit our Cen.
tenniaI, accompanied by his son and
probably by his staff, if not by some
other Of Germany'S great warriors
and statesmen like MoIyke, Won Room
and Bismarck.

PEACE on THE ATLANTIC CoAsT.-
Our Government has just ordered the
removal of the monster gun now lying
at Fortress Monroe to the exposition
grounds of the Centennial at Phila-
delphia. Thus, with every European
power steadily adding to Its army and
its armament, with Germany arming in
masse. and her navy so steadily grow
ing that the London Times says it is
jeopardizing to the British empire of
the ocean and causing that power to
place larger cannon on her battle
ments and bulwarks than ever before,
there is no such uneasiness on our
side Of the water ; but conscious Of
our power, though unarmed, we can
dismOunt our peacemakers and exhi-
bit them in safety to the whole world
in a quiet park Of the City of Brother
ly Love.

a SwINDLER.-The court Of inquiry,
at San Francisco, which had Mr.. Pin
ney's affairs under investigation, has
ascertalned that he is swindler to
the extent of S950,0O0. This is close
ON to a million, and perhaps before the
court gets through it will find the def
ciencies 10 exceed that aggregate
amount. This man, like Tweed and
some others, seems to have gone on
the principle that while his hand was
in he might as well take " a sheep as
a lamb" He not only stole from the
government but made a victim of
every one who could be induced to
credit his paper. The inquiry into his
accounts is well, TO ascertain the gross
sum of his defalcations. Beyond this,
not much good is likely to be sub.
served, as the criminal has absconded-
He might not have been found guilty,
if tried for his offences, OF if found,
who knows but he would have wor-
ried the courts on the legal TECHNICAL
ties, as many of his prototypes have
done, and got of free in the end. The
return of the amounts stolen was not
likely 10 be accompiised, and although
he has escaped corporal punishment,
the knowledge Of his crime remains,
to haunt him wherever he may go on
q bankrupted reputation. This man

specie Resumption.

Senator Mcdonald, Chairman Of
the Indiaua Democratic State Com
mittee, made speech some time ago
in which he fairly represented the
prevailing opinion as to the necessity
of resumption of specie payments,
and of the difficulties in the way to
the realization of this desirable end.
At a time like this when such q per-
sistent attempt is made to misrepre-
sent the sentiments of the leaders of
the Western democracy, the views OF
such men as Senator Mcdonald de.
serves attentive consideration. His
speech enables US clearly to perceive
that the main distractions to the re-
sumption of specie payments are I'M
aginary, due to Ignorance of the op-
erations of currency and banking, and
Of the results these produce. 1t is a
grave error to suppose that more coin
is needed than is on the average pos
sessed, to resume specie payments !;
and that resumption on the first of
January of any year would prove a
failure. This idea is based on the
supposition that resumption will lead
to the presentation of q large portion
of the legal tenders for redemption in
coin. Instead of this being the case,
after redemption, legal tenders will
then take the place Of gold in all the
operations in which gold has inter
vened during suspensiOn-such as the
of duties on imports and in
terest On the Federal, State, munici,
pal and corporation gold bonds. the
purchase Of foreign exchange and for
eign products, sach Is coffee, teas, iron,
hides, etc, etc. In all these transac-
tions, after resumption, bank checks
and legal-teuders will generally be
preferred to gold, and as the Gold
Room is sure to close after resump-
ton, no gold reserve will need to be
held for speculative operations in gold.
The only use there will then be for
gold, will be for the liquidation Of ad
verse foreign balances Of trade at those
periods when our exports of products
and commodities are insufficient for
that purpose. But this we have been
doing without difficulty ever since the
suspension of specie payments, and the
adverse balances of trade are sure to
be less after resumption than they
have been during suspension, because
everything we produce will cost less
when we use currency Of permanent
value, than while we use one 0: fiuc-
tuating value, as the latter is a great
impediment and Burden to produc-
tive industry and commerce.

An IMPORTANT SrP.-Russia Is
about to take an imprtant step IN
advance of The rest d the world IN
the control of the steamship and rail-
way interests within ne Empire, by
making the proprietor.strictly respon-
sible for personal damage done, even
10 their own employees. A law recent
ly prepared by a special commission,
and now before the Imperial PrINy
Council, provides tha' companies are
in future TO be subject to damages
for any death or injury caused on
their lines to persons either ID or out
of their employ, and hat such claims
cannot be evaded BY any previous
private agreement for exemption, nor
by the plea that all possible Precau-
tions have been usel. The damages
awarded are to be proportIoned to
the means of the pelson Killed or IN:
iured, and are not 20 be diminished
by any supposed impecunioslty OF the
company charged. Claims for dam
ages may be adjudicated on in any
Russian civil court of Justice under
the iaw,sswhich is to supersede for all
railway cases the previously existing
rules as to the actions for personal IN
Jury. Thus the presence Of the injur-
ed person, in cases not fatal, is not TO
be condition, as it is in other similar
trials, since the State itself, through
its public prosecutors, hencefOrth I'M
dertakes as public duty the conduct
of all actions, arising from railway
injuries. The extraordinary stringency
Of: this Legislation is no doubt teeLi-
mOny to the fact that hitherto the
great companies have used the notOri-
Gus delays and evasions common in
Russian justice with so mucn success
that any compensation for injury has
been almost unattainable.

RESULT OF L-ADNINIsTRATIoN
Senator Wallace, Of Pennsylvania, re-
Gently delivered an address before the
American Club in Philadelphia, in
which he drew a graphic and startling
picture of the languishing condition of
all The industries of the country. He
declared that the looms are idle, the
furnaces have ceased to blast, the
workshops are untenanted and the
artisans unemployed. This depora-
bic state of affairs is chargeab!e direct.
Iy to the mal-adminiStratiOn of the
general government. y man in
private life whom circumstances have
involved in debt retrenches, develops
every source of power and frees HIM
self SO far as possible from everything
which is drain upon his income. A
government under similar conditions
should adopt the same course; but
ours has reversed the principle. From
1865 TO 1915 the people have paid
more than five hundred millions of
debt, twelve hundred millions Of inter
est, and more than two thousand mil
lions for other purposes. This enOr.
nous aggregate has been in great part
unnecessary. In the civil service the
outlay which the people have been
compelled to meet was thirty-twO mil
hons greater in 1878 than it was in
1866. What proportionate benefit
has resulted? The expenditures in
The navy department have increased
from twenty millions in 1869 TO nearly
thirty.one millions in 1874. 1t seems
that our expenses have increased as
our earnings have diminished.

dler is not the man We should have
advised President Grant to appoint as
Secretary Of the Interior, remarks the
New York San, and yet we are not
sure that Chandler's appointment
may not, in the long run, prove more
advantageous. Zack is a man after
Grants own heart, rich, splurgy, fond
of good whiskey, and of coarse stories,
reckless in his public acts, and a par
tisan of the third-term. His presence
in the Cabinet will add to the disgust
which thoughtful people feel for
Grantism, and will thus contribute TO
It's final overthrow. BY all means,

THE farmers of Minnesota during
the past season are said to have real
lied net profits largely in excess Of
any previous year. After making
necessary deductions for loss occa-
stoned by wet harvests, they have, as a
fair estimate of the seasons produc-
ton, 28,0O0.00O bushels of wheat, 49,
100000 of corn, 100000 Of oats,
and good crops of articles Of less I'M
portance. OF wheat there will be a
surplus of 22OOO,OOO bushels for ex-
port, allowing 100000 for home
consumption and seed. The proceeds
for this wheat are placed at about
$4,000, 900 and all other farm pro
ducts at Sl0,00O,000, making total
of $50, 100000 to be distributed among
the farming interests of the State, or

GUARANTEES WANTED.-A Vienna
dispatch says that the conference be-
tween the powers on Turkish affairs
has resulted in a determination to ask
Turkey whether she has any guaran-
tees TO offer for the fulfiIment of her
oft broken promises of reform. This
question, if plumply put, will prove
somewhat embarrassing to the govern
ment known in the Christian world as
the Sublime Porte. 1t is pretty hard
oil q king when he is asked to give
guarantees for the fulflment of his
obligations but i. is much more de-
rogatory to his regal standing when
the doubt is expressed if he has
guarantees to give. If the Sublime
Porte was fighting government, we
should expect to see the Turkish army
put in motion. But there is no danger
of that. The Turkish treasury is in
condition which practically ensures
peace. The Discrimination which
English capitalists have shown to &C.
eept Turkish bonds in place of Turkish
gold on bonds already negotiated will
bring the Sublime Porte face to face
with financial question of no ordi
nary difficulty. Up to this time Tur-
key has paid her interest by contrac-
ting new loans. New loans being
now declined, Turkey offers bonds in
lieu of interest, which is in effect
kind of forced loan.
