Gov. Chamberlain, of South Caro-

says it has become impracticable in his judy

Situation of Affairs in Turkey.


Advices from Servian sources say
that the servian forces under Generals Tcher-
uayeff and Papovict simultaneously attacked
the Turks and drove them beyond Taschitza.
during the engagement the Servian artillery
fred seven caiseons Of gunpowder in Turk
ish ammunition depot. The explosion
caused fearful havoc among the Turks. On
the other side it is reported that the battle
was glorious victory tor the Turks. The
Turkish army was all day under fire from the
whole line Of Servian redoubts and batteries,
which stretch in q semi-circle Tor twenty
miles. and have hundred guns mouxted
In the afternoon the Turks assumed the OF.
fensive, and defeated the Servians, inhictine
enormous losses. A Paris dispatch says ne
importance is attached to the decision OF Ris
tics cabinet. Peace negotiations are actively
progressing. Servia's conduct is believed t
proceed merely from'a desire to influence
mediation favorable to herself.

u
The Cause and the Cure.

From The New York Evening Post
Carl Schurz is keeping the financial
question where it belongs; in the front
of the canvass. ''The times are hard
and the people want CHANGE This
is the burden of the Democratic can.
vass, stripped Of its personalities and
the slang and cant of platform arraign.
ments: Certainly the times have been
hard, though there are happily signs
OF Improvement. The people indeed
do desire a change, but it is not a
mere change of parties, least of all
such change as the restoration of the
Democratic party would involve.
They are rather inclined to inquire in
to the cause of their financial troubles
and to apply to them a remedy which
is practical and philosophical.
The position OF the democrats on this
foremost question is tersely defined by
MIR. Schurz. Their candidates are a
hard money man for President, and a
soft money man for Vice President. -
Their platform declares 'sfor hard mo.
ney in one sentence" ana adopts 'sthe
battle Giles Of the inlationists and
soft money men in another. There is
design in this diversity there is meth
cd i'll this madness of contradiction
The seeming inconsistency conforms to
d consistent purpose. The hard money
features of candidates and platform
| were intended to carry hard money
States; the soft money features, soft
money States. The continuance was
believed to be shrewd, but it really
was very shallow. The democrats are
fought in all the States as intlationists
and repudiationists and rs such it is
to be hoped that they will be defeated
