The inventive genius of those ro-
mancers known as Washington "letter
writers" must be nearly exhausted.
Formerly they were able to invent
stories having some degree of plausi-
bility, though without particle Of
truth. But now, though equally desti-
tute of truth, they have not even plausl-
bility. The story just now communi-
Gated to the public about Grant getting
angry concerning the Babcock busines 8,
and scolding Bristow and Pierrepont,
as though they were schoolboys who had
been caught playing "hookie," and how
Bristow got up and went to the window
smiling, and how Pierrepont told the
President that he was too hard on Bris-
tow, and all that sort of balderdash, is
clearly the coinage Of some added brain
bound to "write up" sensation,
in order to get his weeks salary. People
of any discernment are not likely to be
gulled by stories without even the sem.
blance of probability. 1t is not a very
enyiable reputation to stand sel-re-
vealed as both liar and a fool. Yet
that is precisely what the originator OF
that silly story has achieved.

The best considered accounts from
Europe represent the political situation
in relation to Turkey as being exceed.
ingly perilous for peace. The Austrian
note with the approval thereof by the
other Great Powers has been, at length,
submitted to the sultan; and he has
promised merely to consider of if. But
even if accepted by Turkey, this applies
only TO the one Province of He zego-
yina, HOW in open insurrection; leaving
all the other Turkish PROVINCES in
Europe unbcneiited by the reforms in
dicated. This Will not heal the breach
between the Sultan and his European
subjects. Further than this the Euro.
pean Powers will not interfere. Ii is
becoming evident that England mas
made up her mind to stand aloof from
any further interference; and, if need
be, to leave Turkey to her fate. With
the key of the Egyptian gateway to ber
Eastern possessions in her pocket, she
will make no war again in defense of
the Integrity of the Ottoman Empire. II
it must fall, let it fall; and Egypt be-
comes British Colony. The near fu-
ture is big with important events in that
part of the world.

THE Committee on Appropriation
have been looking into the army esti-
mates a little, and find that out OF our
"little army" of $4,000 men, no less than
5000 are non combatants. Or these,
LOO are serving on staff duty. Gen.
Sherman. with a salary Of $4,000 a year,
has six eoinnels ON his staff at an annual
cost OF 81 ,O00 all to help him do moth
ing. The whole cost of the staff is over
s2,500,000 year; more than one-tenth the
entire expense of the whole active force
of the army. There is fine chance for
wedding out drones and wiping out sill G
cures from the army, and thereby econ
omizing good many millions Of money
every year. We hope the Committee
will have the tifmness to see it well
done.
