The Turkish softas seem bent on real re-
form. They. disavow all hostility to Chris
tians, invoke their aid in establishing the
new government, demand the assembling OF
the National Council, the reduction of expen-
ditures, a strict account of the use of the pub
lie money, and new and equitable system
of taxation. But it looks as though it was
too late to save the empire.

THE scene in the House Monday will be a
great relief to the sympathetic young man of
the Argus who has been moaning over the
fate of Mr.. Blaine's family, and who sobbed
through all the columns of that paper Mon
day. His grief was calculated to wiring the
hearts of the stoutest, and his friends enter
tanned serious apprehensons that he would
make way with bimself. Indeed after read
ing his lucubration some went so far as 10
say he had.

"HURLING back an accusation into the
teetn'' of ones opponent is a Kentuckfan
method of repelng an accusation, and it is
quite natural that Mr.. Knott shorlld resort to
it. But people who reason will prefer to
see some evidence of the falsity of the accu-
sation before they can acqait Mr.. Knott of
intention to suppress the Caldw ell despatch
with intent to ipjure a polite; Il opponent.
The general verdict is that his. course was
comardly and malicious. By the way it
would be interesting to read the Kentuck-
ian's definition of the word Suppression"

IT is the Boston Tfareller which remarks
that Mr.. Blaine owes it to the people who
have put confidence in him to make public

been held. That seems to be Mr. BIaine's
opinion exactly

PROCTOR KNOTT never made more apt
quotation in his life than when he opened his
reply to Blaine with 'Why, man, he doth be-
stride the narrow world like a Colossus, and
we petty men walk under his huge legs and
peep about to find ourselves dishonorable
graves" The manner in which the ex-
Speaker walked over his opponents, and the
complete discontinue of their small malice
naturally suggests the great dramatist's
words. No wonder Proctor Knott is hunt

In very ancient times-all know the story
"a good man landed on an island; he was
one who could save ship in time CT danger
a brave, practical upright man. However
he did not consider his record to be faultless,
and whose record is, tried by a standard
worth setting up? ...-.
AS this good man stood in the strong light
and heat of new-kinded fire, viper came
out from it, and fastened upon his hand );
then the islanders said, che is murderer"
but he shook off the viper into the fire, with
out harm to himself, and then they cried,
che is god.'
The encyclopedias pronounce the bite of
the viper to be "more dangerous to small
to than large victims, and to the terrified than
to the unterrifed," adding further that
''there is no viper found in the United
States" 1t is left therefore for this present
age of Investigation" to develop in political
heats the Great American Viper, the one
purpose, pure and simple, Of whose bite is to
prove every prominent stran ger to its politi-
cal ring, to be villain unless he chance to
be able to show himself saint. This species
OF viper is equally hurtful to large as to small
victims, and to the unterrfed as to the ter
rifed. Future editions of encyclo pedias please
notice.

Yours of oath received. There seems to be one

about the $4,000 letter of credit. L would gladly
get 1t for you If were able, but L have not the
means have no power Of getting letter OF credit
from Jay Cooke, except by paying the money it.,
and the money have not got, and have no means Of
getting it. Yon ask me to do, therefore what sim
ply impossible. Nothing would give me more pleas .
ure than to serve you If able, but my losses in
the Forth Smith affair have entirely crippled and
deranGed all my finances. You would, know, be
utterly amazed ii you could see the precise expert
ence have had in that matter. Very bitter, as
sure you. Among other things owe nearly all of
the S25,0O0 which delivered to Mr. Pratt, and this
is most harassing and embarrassing to me.
If you will give me the SIG, 500 of bonds which L
propose to throw OH payment OF the notes which
you say owe you, will gladly get your $40 900
letter of credit, but If 1 release those bonds to
you, as propose, yon do the same for Yourself
