The War in the East.

The Eastern question is once more in the
hands of the diplomatists, Turks and Serbs
resting on their arms meanwhile. But cabi-
nets appear able to accomplish even less than
armies. The reasons for the delay in nego-
tiations lie in the attitude taken by Russia
and Turkey. Servia, having been beaten at
all points, is anxious for peace and ready
enough to make concessions. But Russia
will permit her little friend to make absolute.
ly no surrender, while Turkey insists upon
conditions that are wholly inadmssible. In
their haughtiness and ignorance the Turkish
ministers fail 10 perceive the changed rela-
tions in which they stand to Europe, fail to
perceive that England and her navy are no
longer at their call, and seem not to be
aware that the indignant public sentiment of
the people about them reused by the atroci-
ties in Servia and Roumelia debars any
European power from coming to their aid.
They have a confidence not misplaced in the
fighting qualities of their soldiers, but they
do not perceive that each victory is in effect
defeat, for it is followed by barbarities
which provoke the resentment of the civil
lied world. 1t is doubtful if these atrocities
can be prevented as long as the Turk is al
lowed to hold his camp in Europe. The bat
ties won only serve to swell Turkish arro-
gance and aggravate Turkish cruelty, and
make more difficult of attainment any rea-
sonable terms of peace.
1t is to be doubted if the Russian govern
ment desires war, but not improbably it will
be forced into war by the sentiment of the
Russian people. The Gear, like all other
despots, has limits to his power, and there
come times when he perils his throne by OBJ
stinate resistance to an enthusiastic public
sentiment. The Russians are maddened by
the recital of the sufferngs of their breth-
ren over the border. They have long felt
that Russia is commissioned by God to drive
the infidel out of Europe, to re-establsh the
ritual of the Orthodox church in the holy
city of Constantinople, and they believe that
the time for new crusade is at hand. Since
the days of Catharine the Czars have dill
gently inculcated the belief that they are the
true successors of the Byzantine emperors,
and that in the fullness of time they will
claim the heritage. They have cultivated
this fancy in the minds of the Russian peo-
pie until 1t has become passionate belief,
and they cannot eradicate it now.
Thus the obstacles to a restoration of peace
lie in Turkish and Russian fanaticsm. The
diplomatst who can overcome these formida-
BILE obstacles will earn high place in his
craft.

A colossal bust of Horace Greeley has been
made by Charles Calverley. 1t is of
bronze, and will be placed in Greenwood Gene
terry. 1t represents Mr.. Greeley as he was ten
or twelve years ago, and ''the old white over
coat" is used instead of the toga, for dignity
of effect. The bust is to rest upon a granite
pedestal, ornamented with bronze tablets, one
representing Mr.. Greeley as printer working
at the case, aud the other bearing his name,
together with the simple record of his birth and
death. The monument is to be known as the
Printers Greeley Memorial and is to be uu-
veiled in October.

In discussing the silver question the Ma
ton mentions Senator Jones as "afflicted
with the Congressional disease which makes
a man fancy that he has discovered some
thing stupendous which the Old World has
overlooked" The disease is not rare one,
and the country would not be much surprised
to see Senator Representative rise in his
seat some day, and after stating that be had
devoted two weeks to the study Of mechanics,
deliver speech in favor of the adoption by
Government of a perpetual motion machine.

HERE is an utterance in which your gen.
uine moss-backed Democrat, rarely found
this side of the Kennebec, delights: ''The

tory stand as far above the leaders in the ad-

sun is above the meanest worm that crawls
on Gods EARTH" The man who gave utter
ance to this delectable sentiment, was, the
Ellsworth american says, Nathan Butler.

This is new and very valuable contribution
to the much worn discussion of Science and
Religion. Its aim is to afford philosophical
basis for religious belief, and the general atti-
tude of the writer is disclosed in these plain
words "We hope TO gather our attentive read
ers from those devout yet bold minds who feel
that the old must be continually reshaped and
made ready for the new; that dogmatism is a
stonewall at best, and can never offer safe or
lasting retreat when its defenders are losing
manly ascendency; that religion is often most
fatally betrayed by those who stand up most
confidently in its defence; and that under is
ostensible ramparts lie mines in hundred
directions whose explosion is sure to en-
gulf many believers" The writer, however,
still holds to the doctrines of theology com
monty called evangelical his endeavor being
to "1eshape" those doctrines in manner
to commend them to the "devout yet bold
minds row getting ready to cast then
