yUI SEETI.iN DEfI.iI

There is no longer any doubt that The Ser
vian line of defense has been completely broken,
and that the whole country now lies open TO
Turkish invasion. The capture of GUrgUsoyaz
render, both Sai,schar and AlcXuaU un;"na-
bic. and it is scarcely possible that the rem
nants of the Scrvian army can bc concentrated
in any new defensive position. Gen. Tchcr
naycn has shown that he is no match for
Osman Pasha he has probably been outscn-
eralcd from the beginning. and his whole cam
paign must be set down rs an nglOri0uS failure.
we cannot assume that a people 80 Wmlic
and 80 eager for the present conflict as the
Seryians have shown any lack of bravery; bu'
the most gallant troops in the world lose both
faith and force when they feel that they are
badly commanded. If the report he true that
Gen. Tchcrnaycil failed TO send iccniorccmcnts
to Gurgusova,z in time to save the place, his
incompctcncy is equivalent to treason.
For the past fortnight the movements of the
Turkish army have been so rapid and well
directed that the chance now opened to 1t Is
sure TO he seized The two roads into the
valley of the Morawa-onc from GurguSovatz
To Bania and AleXinatz, and the other from
Saitschar to Paratjin (prince Miian's head
ouarters)-cannot be held by the defeated
scattered, and dcmomlizcd Scryians. a rapid
advance of the Turks will open for them the
way TO Belgrade, before reaching which the
Danube gives them n new base of supplies
If the struggle were solely between SCrvia and
Turkey, The speedy triumph of the latter
power might now be accepted as certain.
But the interests involved, " we havo from
the first represented to the readers of TIE
TRIBUNE, extend far beyond the question of
the independence of province or two. The
latter is the very least of them. The features
of a long delayed yet inevitable religious con-
hict become every day more apparent. The
horrible passacres in Bulgaria, incredible as
they seemed at first, prove to have been
scarcely exaggerated. The released fanatcism
of Islam has helped Osman Pasha to his vic
tories, and the march of the Turks through
Seryia will leave only blood and ashes behind
it. Such devices as are employed in CONSTANT
nople, of eniisting Christian vagabonds under
a banner bazoned with the Cross and Crescent,
side by side. deceive Europe no longer. Even
in England the conventional pro- Turkish
feeling is rapidly dying out The London Times
of yesterday simply gives late expression to

Ex-Speakcr Galusha A. Grow was yesterday
unanimously nominated for Congress by the
Republicans of Susquchanna County, Pennsyl-
vania. This is in the old Wilmot District 1t
WAS long and honOrably represented by Mr..
Grow, and he was accustomed to carry it by
heavy maiOIities, always running largely ahead
of his ticket There can be little doubt that
he will do the same thing again.
This Convention of Susquehanna County has
set an excellent example for all campaigns, but
particularly for the present one. The Re-
publicans DO not have this year so de-
cided an advantage of their opponents
as to warrant them in losing any chance.
Wherever they can find a strong man on their
side, universally known to be able, upright,
and experienced, they cannot do better than
draft him at once into the service. This is no
time for gratifying ambitious young aspirants,
or satisfying the shrieks of locality. 1t is no
time for taking third-rate man to put in a
first-rate place, because he is near
friend of Senator This, or for pushing
aside strong candidate TO make room for
a seryiceable partisan of Secretary That. 1t
is no time, in word, for putting forward
any but the strongest and best men. Mr..
Grow is one Of the few len Us OF the old Anti

1t is quite within bounds to say that much
as sincere Independents censurc the conduct OF
the Republican party, they distrust even
more the Democratic tendencies on this ques-
ton They seel, in vain for evidence that the
party generally agrees with Senator Gordon IN
desiring non-partisan civil service. On the
contrary, there is abundant evidence that IN
that desire Senator Gordon does not enjoy the
sympathy of his party. On the reform issue,
therefore, there is at least no reason to prefer
the party whose reforming power had such
scope last Winter in the House. But the
Democratic organization is committed 10 re-
puliation, and the Republican to defense OF
public faith. That fact should control the re-
suit.

discord and making silly demonstrations
against those who are willing to labor at low
wages would do well to look at the facts OF
the situation which we present in other col
umns. There is nothing 50 convincing as
actual figures. and these show that wages IN
every sort of trade have greatly declined on
account of the general depression OF business; {;
that the large sums accumulated in good times
by trade societies have been wasted IN IN
efiectual efforts to sustain wages against the
natural laws Of trade; and that rs conSe-
ouence of the decline in wages and the waste
of their capital, the Trades Unions have be-
come poweIcss organizations. No pubic
parade or meeting can offer a remedy for labor
troubles. But if such demonstrations he made
at this time of political agitation, the work
ingmcn are certain to be suspected ot beng
used, willingly or otherwise, for partisan pui-
poses. The direction of the woikIngnen
toward such useless displays is generally gwen
by few of their number. If the facts were
known it would probably appear that these

good sense to point out that there was no
money to pay for so many. and theTeupon the
amendment was reconsidcred. But the Senate
was bound to show its independence of the
