~ The European aspect is far
from peaceable. England says very
emphatically to Russia, you cannot
have Turkey" Her firm position
has caused Austria to waver and in
cline to her side. Servia, Montene-
gro and the Sclavonic races are ready
to attack Turkey at a moments no.
tice, and they are backed by Russia
and commanded by her officers.
England possesses the key to the po-
sition and must, dictate the policy.
The combined powers may capture
Turkey, but England will make it a
barren victory. Unless she is given
equivalents she will bar them from

An impeachment Almost Forgotten.

The impeachment of the late Secretary OF
War Of the United States has already al
most passed out Of tho public mind. He
was detected in the sale Of public Offices,
aud confronted by such evidence that he
incontiuently confessed his guilt, speedily
resigned, and, at flrst, only begged for
mercy. The matter produced seven
days wonder: but II was followed by
other accusations against other public
men, apparently sustained by equally
strong evidence, and 1t has been well
nigh forgotten. The habit Of thought en-
gendered by the war, when great aud ter
rife events trod upon the heels of proceed.

Mr.. BELKNAP must now be greatly cha

tended with great effect, that Gov. HAYES
served all through the war, not with any
particular distinction, 1t is true, but came
out Of II credltably as a General of Volun-
teers. who laid down his commission ana
returned to civil pursuits with the return
of peace. With these two candidates the
issue would be made up so far as the war
is concerned, between the regular army
and the volunteers
How that issue would terminate, IL lie
hardly necessary 10 say. Looking over the
field calmly, there Is every reason to be-
lieve that the experiment Of military
candidate would be worse than disastrous,
because 1t would offend the conservative
sentiment of the country, disappoint the
hopes OF reform, disgust tens of thousands,
and end by producing the very opposite
effect Of that expected, by uniting the
North and distracting the South against
the Democracy.

Tho Great Question.

How silly 1t is to argue that the masses
Of voters are not Interested in reform.
The masses suffer from the corruption,
wastefulness, and negligence OF the Adj
miuistration. They have TO pay for Grant
ism, and pay price which they cannot
afford. They have found this out during
The past few years.
If the masses dislike 10 be robbed. they
are interested In securing AN honest gov
ernment. If they do not like TO see their
II eans s1uandered, they are interested in
obtaining an economical administration.
II they dislike corruption, they want re-
form in the public service.
The great question OF living interest 20
the masses is reform. 1t comes home to
then directly, and affects their welfare in
a hundred ways. Ii swallows up other
guest Jns.
II Il were true that the masses are not
inter,- ted in l,efo r1n there would be no

Gen. SoorT was candidate for President
In 1852. He wss then at the head Of the army
had q deserved military fame. had won bis
spurs CALAMITY In the War Of 1912. and had con-
Quered peace In Mexico. Relying upon a sup
posed popularity derived from these causes. the
wings OF that day took him up and made him
their leader.
The Democrats discarded all their distinguish
ed statesmen and nominated FRANKLIN PIERCE
who had served In the Senate Of the United
States without the least distinction, and was a
volunteer general In the Mexican war, who came
home, like many others, wearing no special lau-
rels. Gen. PIERCE was not man OF any mark,
but he stood far above the rank which Gov.
HAYES now occupies.
when the election came on, the popularity of
Gen. SCOTT vanished into thin air. IL was con-
fined TO a certain circle, and never spread out
among the body OF the people. He was esteem
ed as a great soldier, who deserved we'll OF his
country IN the profession hich he had adopt
ed and honored By cons picuous eallantry. At
that time there were thirty.one States In the
Union, and Of these PKRcE carried twenty
seven and SCOTT only four, viz; Massachusetts,,
Vermont Kentucky aud Tennessee. This lesson
Is not without Its instru alton at the present
juncture, when a class OF specializing poiiti-
clans and self sum oisnt managers are ursing a
similar policy, which would be followed by Alike
result.
