THE CRESCENT AND TEE CROSS.

Since the days Of the crusades the
crescent and the cross have been recog-
nized as symbols Of religious and political
antagonism. Emblazoned on banners,
or conspicuously represented in the
sacred architecture OF mosque and fame,
each has served to arouse in turn the de-
vo.ional and the military enthusiasm Of
'.true believers" Under these signs
Moslem and Christian have joined issue
on many holly contested field, and
with accounts of their alternate successes
and reyerses some Of the strangest pages
of human history have been filed. The
crescent has, however, fingered behind
the cross in the march of material pro-
gress. It's rulers have been contented
with the glitter Of courtly baubles, the
barba,ic splendor Of eztorted wealth, and
the soft dalliance with favorites Of the
seraglio, while tie high prize Of consti-
tutional rule was earnestly contended for
by those who understood its value and
were anxious to build the houses Of their
nationality upon firm foundations.
Thus Turkey became the traditional
"sick man" of the East, and because Of
its sickness invited the aggressive cupidity
of some of its more lusty neighbors. More
than once it has been saved from Christian
partition by Christian Intervention; and
now again the firmness Of England, backed
by the FESTIVE strength of France, has
afforded it that new opportunity through
which better health and better national
record may be effectively builded.
It is evident that the Christianism of
Turkey is not Of the very highest order,
and the discomfort which prevails among
the Turkish Christians has resulted rather
from Russian intrigue and greed than from
Moslem intolerance. The complaining
Christians allege that they have been ex-
cessively taxed, but the facts show that in
this regard there has been nothing excep-
tional in their treatment, while, so far as
military CONSUMPTION is concerned, they
have been specially favored. 1t was the
coreligionist of Russia that stirred up
at once the fires Of fanaticism and aroused
the Christian Turk to deeds Of incendiary
violence.
But while the integrity Of Turkey was
thus threatened from without and from
within, the better educated among the
faithful, and especially the representa-
tives of '.young Turkey"-the so-called
sofas, or Turkish students-began to
clamor for such reforms as would elevate
their country from its low condition OF
political and sacerdotal bondage, and
nationalize the revenues they found de-
voted almost exclusively to imperial ex-
travagance.
While the war on the part Of the Greek
Christians assumed threatening proper
tons, the matter was forced on the atten-
ton of the several nations that were par
ties to the treaty of peace which followed
the fall of Sebastopol, and which specially
guaranteed the integrity of the Otto
man Empire. These Christian nations
could not but sympathize to some extent
in the struggle Of the Christian insur-
gents, and out of this sympathy arose
what is now known as the the Berlin
memorandum. The memorandum, as

make, nor the persons obnoxious to the
Conservative objections stated.
Enough has been known by the Repub-
lican party OF those despicable creatures
which have surrounded the halls OF Con-
gress, seducing the weak and complicat-
ing the pure. Enough has been seen here
Of the same class who have subjected the
Republican party to defamation and
death. When the hour Of responsibility
or of danger came, were these agents OF
selfish interest there to bear the conse-
quences? When Investigation upon federal
or financial questions was upon us, were
the Fergusons and other mercenaries at
hand to vindicate the party from imputa-
ton which their own conduct had i'm
posed? Every one will answer these ques-
tons in the negative.
We beg Republicans TO remember that
the REPUBLICAN has named no men as
proper nominees. It took no such part
as to the national convention.
We ardently desired the nomination OF
men whose character was such as to leave
us nothing to defend except the principles
Of the party. We believed such nomina-
ton would strengthen the Republican
canvass in Louisiana. We appeal to every
Republican to note the effect of these Gin
cinnati nominations.

by Carl Schurz, have returned armed and
enthusiastic for the fight.

ammunition fred against Republican in
cumbents during the last six months.

TRIBUNE FAIRNESS.


The Harrisburg Patriot says: The
New York Tribune finds difference
between the present situation Of Kcl-
iogg's Returning Board and that oftwo
years ago which fully reconciles that
highly consistent and honorable organ
of "God and morality" to the mon
strous fraud on the public liberties
which is now in process Of consumma-
ton. o, yes, there is considerable
difference. Kellogg is still there and
he is the same usurpcr that the Tribune
pronounced him two years ago. J.
Madison Wells, Grants surveyor OF
the port of New Orleans, is President
of the Returning Board, as he was two
years ago when the Tribune denounced
him as an INSCRIPTIONS knave. But
then the majority which Wells and his
gang threw overheard two years ago,
and which aroused the fiery indigna-
tion of the Tribune, was less than three
thousand Now the majority which
the brigands propose to effacc with the
delighted appreciation of this same
Tribune is more than eight thousand.
Quite difference. But there is yet
another important difference. Two
years ago Kellogg and his brigands
alone were 10 be profted by the swind-
ling operations ofthe Returning Board.
Then that great mouthpiece OF Hum
bug and Cant, the Tribune, could afford
to belch out its fierce wrath. 1t cost
nothing TO make this show OF virtuous
indignation. On the contrary, it got
up reputation for newspaper inde-
pendcnce and love of fair play at the
least possible expense. But now the
vlllainy of Kellogg and Wells and
their Returning Board is to serve the
whole Republican party, and the Tri-
bne shows its delighted recognition Of
the difference in the situation. The
crime of robbing State which the
Tribune reprobalcd two years ago be-
comes a lofty act Of patriotism when
a whole nation is to be cheated. Can.
not everybody see the differcnce2

Bought the Patent Hen -Persuader," set his

Locked them both within the hen-house ere he
went TO town that morn.
Business then engrossed him fully, ill, with

Who can wonder that the rullet and her nest be

Nothing all day to remind him but returning

Flashed sudden recollection, and his check grew

sought the hen house door,
Called his pet in tones entreatipg. All she II
