Political Notes.

A gentleman OF leisure who has re- read
Tilden's letter with great care, in order to
find any allusion to the war for the Union,
has discovered the phrase. "kindred popu-
lations once unnaturally estranged." This,
be thinks, can be construed, without vio-
lence, as q direct allusion to the great rebel
lion. $50 far, no friendly hand has taken
the lie OF Tilden, although one biography
Of Hayes 10 out and another IL promised
shortly: BIAS the democratic candidate no
Boswell, nor nothing? General p. M. B.

The Financial Crisis I'm Portugal.
LONDON, August 2l.-Tbe Times In its
financial article says the financial crisis IN
Portugal originated In the failure OF some
I'm ancial banks In Oparto, and is q revival
of the revival there in May last, when some
weak banks We're assisted by the stronger
Institutions. The government also advanced
money. The bills then discounted for the
weak banks have now run their course, and
their position is unimproved, the stronger
banks refuse TO renew their bills. The blun-
der OF the Bank OF Portugal and others In not
providing cash to meet the run aggravates
the crisis, and SO for the want OF q few
thousand sovereigns q number Of banks
were compelled to close their doors. II is
expected that the large amount OF sover-
have gone from the Bank Of England will
restore confidence. In the May crisis the
government imported gold, but the low rate
scarcity. Which he banks peyha psn mif dss
have prevented by reimporting gold ten
days ago instead Of now.

A SPECIMEN OF TURKISH Gov ERNMFNr
A correspondent OF the Times At Cons tan

count OF a transaction In the Turkish Islands
which shows, better than q volume OF argu
ment, how Turks govern. The people of the
southern Spo-ades, about lis 900 In number,
living by sponge fishing, belonged In 1892 10
the Kingdom OF Greece, but were handel
over 10 Turkey At the final settlement. They
were, however, allowed TO continue their
self government till, In 1856, the Porte sud-
denly subjected them TO Turkish officials.
and In 1859 deprived them, for no reason
whatever, OF all privileges, and imposed q
variety OF new taxes. The islanders fiei
almost en- masse, the sponge fishing boats
sank from $50 to $50, and the prosperity OF
the islands disappeared. The people are
ruined and the Porte not benefited, the whole
transaction resulting only in pay for q few
officials. This Is the way In which the
Pashss eat up their own resources under the
