An announcement was made yesterday by
our able democratic contemporary of
transfer of proprietorship and change Of
chased the establishment from Mr.. Manton
Marble its owner, and succeeds him as the
editor of that vigorous party journal.
The public will be surprised at this
change, for Mr.. Marble had put such
strong impress of individuality on his paper
that it is as difficult to separate him from the
idea of it as it would have been to think Of
Mr. Greeley apart from the Tribune, or Mr..
Raymond apart from the Times, until the
association was broken by an event which. we
trust, is very, very far distant for Mr.. Mar
bic. There are few instances in journalism
of so younga man achieving SO distinguished
a reputation. He has been connected with
the World from its foundation, has been for
fourteen years it's chief editor, and for the
greater part of that period its sole proprie
tor. With varied attainments in literature
and winning social accomplishments he al
ways seemed to give his whole heart to his
profession, and to make it his pride
and his chief pleasure. We are
sure that his retirement from journal
ism can be only temporary, and We
shall welcome his reappearance, for W.
doubt if he can find any other pursuit 50
conrenial. Unlike most conductors Of party
Journals, he has supreme contempt fol
trimming cxpediencies, and tho World
under his management, has been conspicu-
GUS for unfinching devotion to great prin-
ciples. 1t has also been remarkable
for intelligent interest in oil the pro.
gressive movements Of modern thought
in philosophy, in science, in theology and
in every department Of human culture. Me-
Marbles deep interest in this high range
topics may have impaired the success OF hi
journal by the prominence he has given Il
discussions which are above the average in.

especially in this centennial year Of peace
and patriotism All we ask from the man
ayers of this Exposition is not 10 turn it into
one-horse show. This is simple enough.
Let them search ont the abuses, the annoy
ances, the pettiness which are the burden
OF so many articles in the Philadelphia
newspapers. If we were to quote one-half
of the stories we read in Philadelphia jour
nails we should have much severer story
than that which excites our venera-
BILE contemporary The trouble is in
the fact that the Centennial is held
In an inland city. the metropolis
of State, and not in New York, the me-
tropolis of the nation. Philadelphia is not
accustomed to burdens like the Centennial.
She is home city, a city of manufactures,
city with many attractions which we find
in no other. But an enterprise like the Gen.
tennial is not in her way. Nor is it in the
habits or temper of her people to grapple
with SO stupendous an affair. The people
are too much excited to deal with it as it
should be dealt with, as practical, common
sense undertaking. What it wants is head.
1t runs ITSELF The managers seem to think
that the work is done, when it has only
begun.
If our criticisms on the Exhibition will
stimulate the managers to renewed activity
We shall be satisfied. Now that Philadel-
phia has her Centennial it is our inter-
est and the interest of the nation that
it should be managed with wisdom and
liberality, that it should be dealt with as a
national affair and not as a mere advertise
ment for Philadelphia. and that there should
be higher policy than that indicated in the
leading Philadelphia journal to which we
referred, that the Centennial would become
the means Of depriving New York Of the COM
mercial and financial supremacy she has held
for fifty years. II our friends under the
judicious lead of a journal as sagacious as
the North american will only see that the
Centennial becomes what the country in
tended it should be we shall praise it to the
end and take our chances as to the success
full rivalry Of Philadelphia in the race for
metropolitan precedence.

Anara..y ON tho Peae. or Europe.

AnuraSsy On the Fe0c0 Oh EurOpes
Count Andrassy has declared at Pesth,
and apparently in positive terms, that the
peace of Europe will not be disturbed on
account of the troubles in Turkey. 1t is but
few years since another Prime Minister in
Europe formally announced that there
would be no war, when war was declared on
the next day. and that Minister of War
declared that there was not so much wanted
in the army as button for soldiers gaiter,
when buttons for soldiers CATERS were about
the only things the army had of what was
necessary 1t is, therefore, permissible
sometimes to take Ministerial declarations
with some allowance; and it is we'll to re-
member that the present declaration was
made in Hungary, where, if anywhere, the
Austrian Premier would strain point to
give this particular subject rose-colored
aspect. He was, in fact, before his depart
ure for Berlin, practically pledged to the
Hungarians on this point and he reports to
them now simply that he has redeemed his
pledges and has prevented foreign interior
ence in Turkey.
In his statement of the immediate purport
of diplomatic activity the Count, is, however,
explicit He says 1.-THE present action of
the Powers is directed toward the peaceful
removal of obstacles preventing the accom-
plishment of the reforms" Certainly if
this labor is feasible, if the obstacles pre-.
venting the accomplishment of the reforms
can be peacefully removed, there will be no
war, just as water never falls from the
clouds except when it rdins. An exhibition
has, however, been given on small scale Of
what these obstacles are and it has been
made plain ut Salonica and Mt Constanti-
nople that to enforce the reforms will be to
stir up from the depths the savage spirit of
fanaticism. The Padishah has no public
force of any value except what is inspired by
that very spirit, and to put this spirit in the
field against itself would not be a military
success. Force is necessary to carry out re-
forms, and the more the Sultan rallies his
own force the worse it will be for reforms.
Either, therefore, the programme of reforms
will become dead letter as others have be-
fore-a mere cheat and delusion of the
insurgent populationsor other armed force
than the Sultan's must guarantee their ap-
plication. 1t is on the introduction of this
other armed force that disputes and war
may arise, and this stage of the case has not
been reached.

should therefore be more potent in support
of Mr.. Conkling than it could have been in
procuring third nomination for President
Grant.
Every one of these new appointments,
though made on unimpeachable grounds Of
personal fitness, will contribute to the suc-
cess of Senator Conklings canvass. Taking
them in their order and beginning with
Judge Pierrepont it is we'll known that this
gentleman has not favored Mr.. Conkling's
nomination He was suspected OF a willing
ness to be nominated himself, but his
avowed preference was understood to be
Secretary Fish. He goes abroad, where ne
can have no influence on the canvass. and
Mr.. Conkling is thus exempted from the OPP
position of prominent republican of his
own State holding high official station at
tho national capital Judge Taft, who was
supplanted last year in Ohio by Governor
Hayes, does not favor the Presidential hopes
of his successful rival, and tho Department
Of Justice is in the hands of an able lawyer
who will indorse tho Presidents choice
which Mr.. Pierrepont did not. But the
most significant Of those appointments is
that of Mr. Don" Cameron, whose own infu-
cncc and that of his shrewd and sagacious
father will be actively exerted in favor of the
New York Senator. The fifty-eight delegates
of the great State of Pennsylvania can now
be rs securely counted on for Conkling as
those of New York. Moreover, President
Grant is not the kind Of man to mount his
horse and swim as far as the middle of the
stream and then turn back when it would
be more dangerous than to cross. Having
deliberately done enough to incur the hostil-
ity of Mr.. Conklings rivals he is not going
to be foiled by them if he can help it. He
can control nearly all the Southern dele
gates, and after the first ballot or two they
will oil vote in body for Conkling. A fore
knowledge that this is to be the case will
help him in the West and insure him mo-
jority on the third or fourth ballot. At any
rate Mr.. Conklings chances, better than
those of any rival before, are wonderfully
frightened and strengthened. He is like a
general in doubtful battle, who hears the
signal guns which announce the approach
OF heavy body of reinforcements and rein
spirit his own soldiers with the hope of o
splendid and decisive victory.

The NoTE OF Mr.. FISH on the Ashburton
Treaty is not so easily disposed of as Earl
Derby imagined when he penned his reply.
The thinkers of England are retreating from
the support Of the government, and COM
promise is suggested by taking the matter
into the English courts. That we assume
to be England's business for it is absurd to
expect America, after treaty has been adj
ministered in one sense for over thirty
years, to 90 to law with England in her own
courts "a very suggestive proceeding) to find
out whether the treaty should not be admin
istered in another sense. In the meantime
winslow will probably be detained still
another ten days.

PARKER, THE MUSTANG RIDER, we are glad
to see, proposes to repeat his attempt to ride
three hundred and five miles In fifteen hours.
His throwing the blame of failure mainly on
the rain and the heavy track is doubtless
just, but we arc glad to see that he admits
his mistake in attempting to ride for such q
length of time without proper nourishment.
When Sidney Smith was advised by his ply
stefan to walk two miles every morning on
an empty stomach, he innocently asked,
ssWhose?" The moral of this in Mr.. Parker's
case is that the sinking diaphragm should
be in somebody else's system, if fasting is
necessary to win the race.

HOWEVER ELOQUENT VIcroR HUGO may
have been in his speech favoring amnesty.
we fear that his argument, which in effect
was that 1.-TWO blacks make white" will
not be accepted for its logic. In rebuking
France for its wholesale conformation of the
crime of. the ID of December and its cor
sequences he had indeed lofty sermon to
preach; but in asking France because of its
pardoning Napoleons sin to pardon the
Communists he entered such transcenden-
tai region of ethics that it is difficult to fol-
low him seriously. His motion was almost
unanimously rejected. We think from NIL
that has been developed in the two debates
that the Communists out Of prison are re-
sponsible for their brethren being kept in.

The FEN1AN AMNESTY QUESTION made quite
q stir in the British House of Commons yes
terday, several excited speeches having been

course to conciliate the Irish people, and
what possible use tho prisoners arc to the
British government, except as furnishing
the Irish nationalists with chronic army
of martyrs" we cannot clearly see.
