The SYMPATHY OF RUSSIA for the Servian
cause is shown by the gift of large sums of
money to the Belgrade government. The
tria is strengthening her garrisons on the
Danube and that Russian troops are being
sent to points near the Turkish frontier.
The formal resignation of the Sultan Mourad
Is also announced; so that we must regard
the situation in the East as threatening in
is not surprising that Turkey should put
forth her greatest efforts to crush the Ser
vians and regards with jealous vigilance the
conduct of the Slavonic peoples still under
her sway.

IT Now APPEARS from the evidence of
Plaisted that Bluford Wilson's real game all
the time was to make Bristow President. II
was an honorable ambition; for in this
country statesmen may go into the Presi-
dency business as they would into book
canvassing. But Bluford is young in poli-
tics or he would never have thought that the
way to nominate Bristow was to send all his
rivals to Jail, and to make the country be-
lieve that everybody and everything were
going to the bad. Bluford is no doubt q
good man, but ardent, credulous and apt to
think that he can see the world by looking
into o mirror.

Our GIFTED FRIEND, Governor Dorsheimer,
proposes that the ''cure-everything-f -for-a-
dollar" pill is what the country needs. In
conversing with o reporter of the Phila-
delphia Times he says :-'As to Congress
treatment of the subject, my judgment is
that the whole business Of finance should be
let alone until after We get into power, when
we can enforce the carrying out of q SYM
metrical system. The truth is some of
those gentlemen down there are more in
terested in getting back to Congress than
in carrying the country" This is oil very
we'll, but the country before voting would
like to know what the Governor means by a
symmetrical system" We shall expect o
clear statement of this from the Governor
in his letter. 1t is this vague, misty
talk about symmetrical systems" that
bothers plain people. Governor Dorsheimer
is young man in politics. He will learn,
when he is as old as Governor Tilden, that
there is nothing that does q statesman so
much good as to trust the people--to trust
them absolutely. The democrats have moth
ing to conceal, nothing to shroud. They
have clear, open campaign, and it will be
the fault of the leaders if the fight is lost.
The country wants q change, but it does not
want to leap over Niagara.

THE WEATHER. southwestern dis
turbance announced in the HERALD is now
progressing over the Lower Mississippi VAL
ley, with indications of more decided
northeasterly movement during to-day. The
indraught of air from the regions Of the
valley and South Central States shows that
the approaching storm has attained already
considerable area and energy. From the far
Northwest another depression is also moving
in a general southcasterly direction, giving
promise of unpleasant weather for the end
of this or the beginning of next week. We
apprehend that violent tornadoes will be
generated by the movement of these storm
centres, with their rapid thermal changes in
and about the Lower Missouri Valley, and
possibly in the States east of the Mississippi
and north of the Ohio. In New York the
decided weather change will probably take
place tomorrow, but light rains OF short
duration may herald its approach toward
night AT present the barometer is high,

OUR ADVICE TO BLUFoRD WILSON, after read
ing the Plaisted evidence, is that he should
abandon politics and President-making and
resume agricultural pursuits. The United
States does not regard the President as q
thief, and the more his enemies try to prove
him to be so the more the people like him.
1t would not surprise us to see the President
go out of Office as popular as when he was
first elected. Twenty thousand committees
of investigation, each with a special Bluford
Wilson swearing to all he knows, will not blot
out the memory of Appomattox Court House
and the famous apple tree.

A CRAZY CANVASS. have never seen so
crazy canvass! Everything seems to go
crooked. Hayes pulls one way and Grant
pulls another. Hayes shouts civil service
reform, and Grant sends the best men in the
government down the plank because they
happen to be Jewell men or Bristow men.
The Senate shouts "Hurrah for Grant the
second Jackson" who turns good men out,
and "Hurrah for Hayes the second Jeffer-
son, who will put them all back again. The
democrats are pulling one way in Indiana
and another way in New York. In the West
the ticket is Hendricks and Tilden, in the
East it is Tilden and Hendricks. Tilden
comes out with his gong and shouts "Re-

fore the March.

Our little army in the field split up into
two columns will, with all the reinforce
ments now despatched, number but little
over three thousand effective soldiers. 1t is
to be presumed that the Fifth cavalry are
now with Crook, and that Terry, having re-
ceived his quota to replace the men lost in
Clusters battle, hos begun moving south.
We shall not be able to gain positive in
formation of these facts for day or two, but
it is probable that forward movement by
both commanders is the next news we
shall hear, unless Merritt has been
attacked on his way or, what is more
likely, Crook attacked in his camp.
Our correspondent with Crook, writing on
the 23d ult, does not give an encouraging
report of the manner in which that General
fills up the time of enforced waiting for the
cavalry. We do not complain that he has
not divulged his future plan of operations.
If he only has good one, and if he whips
the Sioux the next time he strikes them, the
complaint of his subordinates that he did
not consult them will not be listened to. If
it is part of this plan to neglect all scout
ing operations and ordinary precautions be-
fore he marches upon the Sioux and they are
his, we may marvel at his success, but we
shall hail it all the same. The Sioux, we
know, take advantage of every opportunity
that their mobility as troops and their knowl-
edge of the ground furnish They watch
his camp carefully from without, and proba-
bly, have some friends within it. They are
said to be preparing fortresses in the fast
nesses of the mountains in case they ore
beaten in the next fight, which it seems to
be the general impression they will offer.
Their camp has been located by surmise
upon the Rosebud, about midway between
the camps of the two government columns );
but it is more probable that the main body
of hostiles lies in the mountains near the
Big Horn, or between it and the Little Horn
Thus matters appear to stand at present
On every hand it is admitted that there are
not troops enough to make victory over the
Sioux the end of the campaign.

Of passing bill reported, II that be noces-
sary to carry report The repeal is the important
proposition; the form is not SO important Truly,
We are disposed to regard this letter as a
forgery. But it is incredible that q journal
as respectable as the Times should print
forgery. If it is true it shows that Mr. Hen
bricks week ago was laboring to induce
Congress to repeal the Resumption act This
act is one of the guarantees of our national
credit It is solemn promise on the part
of Congress that we shall on certain day
redeem our obligations. The repeal is de-
sired to please the rag-money madmen
in the West, whose schemes against
the nations credit were thwarted for
the time by General Grants veto of
the Imitation bill. This letter shows
that at the very time when Mr.. Tilden and
the honest democrats were asking votes on
the ground that they would sustain the
national credit Mr.. Hendricks, his col
league on the ticket, was endeavoring to
wound the national credit. We think Cover
nor Tilden has right to complain of Mr..
Hendricks, and we trust that the letter will
be disavowed. Its publication, if genuine,
is most unfortunate, and would justify the
Democratic National Committee in asking
Mr.. Hendricks to retire from the ticket in
favor of some man like Mr.. Thurman. 1t
would be great advantage to Mr.. Tilden if
he were to do So

The VETERAN" BUSINESS If there is one
feature in this crazy canvass which is more
revolving than another it is the attempt to
elect Hayes and Wheeler by raising clubs OF
''Boys in Blue" and 'Veterans." There ia
something sacred about the name of soldier.
AS TIE war fades into history the fame Of
those who fought on either side will increase
even as the years go on. The true soldier will
cherish the memories of the war, its valor.
its privations its triumphs, and never de.
grade them to party uses. These "Boys in
Blue" and Veterans" organizations are not
intended to preserve the higher memories Of
the war, to renew in peace the associations
of the camp and the battle line, but to ap-
peal to the darkest passions of that strife to
array section against section, to awaken the
old spirit of resentment and hatred. No
true soldier will demean himself by joining
these organizations. The war is over, and
we dishonor it by dragging it's memories into
politics.

FRENCH DUELs are not apt to be very

The FIRST AGGRESSIVE MOVEMENT of the
Servians, under the command of Tcher-
nnyeff, for the purpose of isolating the
Turkish forces at Nisch by severing their
communications with Sofia and CONSTANT
nople resulted in miserable failure. The
conception of the movement was good one,
but its execution shows how much the
Servian leaders have to learn Of the art of
war before they can hope to conquer their
ancient enemy. AS our correspondent
properly suggests, in the course of his
letter from the Servian headquarters
which we publish to-day, a small force
of American cavalry would have ac-
complished everything that the Servians
attempted with many battalions and two
batteries. They would have struck at
their objective point promptly and vigorous
ly instead of turning aside to besiege the
Turks in an intrenched position. The raw
levies of Servia could not be induced to face
artillery, and the delay and alarm created
by bombardment of the Turks at Ak-Pal-
anka was fatal to the success of the raid
The quarrels INDUCED in by the Servian
generals are unworthy of their great cause
and serve to show their utter incapacity. Did
they but evince half the skill exhibited by
the hardy Montenegrins they would now be
driving the Turks through the passes of the
Balkans instead of being compelled to de-
fend their own territory.

The entries for the approaching races at

show that, both in numbers and quality the
meeting will be one. without precedent in
boating annals; one also unlikely to be
equalled for many years to come. England
at last, after years of urging, sends some OF
her best amateurs, the four Of the world-re-
nowned London Rowing Club, with Captain
Gulston at its head, having, as our de-
spatches this morning show sailed yesters
day, the Cambridge four being already here
and the Dublin graduate four to sail
this week The professional programme,
while not nearly equalling the amateur In
the number of contestants, promises exceP-
tionally fine work, from the fact that three
out of the four crews already entered for it
are perhaps the fastest fours in the world.
The mere mention of the fact that the
Ward, Biglin and Coulter fours from this
country, the Paris crew from st. John, and
the famous Higgins and his four from the
Thames are all to be on hand, with pros
pect of the giant Trickett, the champion
sculler of the world, is enough to make an
oarsman's teeth water for the sport to come.
In addition to this, that among the amateurs
we are to have Gulston, Close, Labatt and
Pentland, from abroad, and the great Court
ney, Riley, Keator, Curtis and score more
scullers at home is sufficient to show what
magnificent treat there is in store for all
lovers of good rowing on the favored Schuyl-
kill before the month is out. Commodore

Why He Favored It.

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, gives
his reasons for advocating the
United States Centennial appropria-
ton. He agrees with Senator Bay
ard that it is both constitutional
md sanctioned by numerous prece-
dents Ho has expressed himself
very freely and earnestly for the bill
on tho following grounds : First,
because no section is so deeply in
tcrested i'll the proper celebration
and re-establishmeht of tho princi-
plos of 1771 and III the restoration
Of good will in tho country as the
South secondly, because the pro-
posed appropriation would cost only
about three and q half cotlts per
capita in tho United States thirdly
that Pennsylvania has paid four and
u half millions Of the five millions
already expended, and that it wottld
be unjust to make that state pay
more, whereas tho appropriation by
congress would perfect the national
character of the celebration fourth
ly, that the foreign nations having
accepted the invitations to comu, tho
reputation Of the government Is in
volved in porfccting tho arrnngc-
ments, and on this account he would
regret to SEQ the South vote against
