The announcement that the Prince OF
Wales had declared war upon the high silk
hat, without which no English gentleman
considers himself decently dressed, has
made sensation in London. The Prince
is determined to abolish this uncomforta-
BILE headpiece, and no doubt high hats
will soon be as questionable among Lon
don toadies as brass helmets would be in
New York. In America the silk hat ap-
pears to be popular, and ii will require
some time to drive it out Of use for full
dress occasions, though many people would
be glad to see it abolished.

The prolongation Of the armistice be.
tween Montenegro and Turkey has pre-
vented for the moment the renewal of hos
tilities by which the situation would have
been very much complicated, In all
things the Prince of Montenegro follows
the will of the Gar; to whom he has
during the past year been peculiarly SER
viceable; and whether he is required to
make war, to procure an armistice, to ne
gotiate for peace, or to present demands
that may be changed according to circum-
stances, he is always ready to obey. He
accepted an armistice when Russia desired
the Constantinople Conference his recent
extravagant demands upon Turkey were
in accordance with Russia's menaces and
his present agreement TO postpone the re-
sumption of hostilities is in keeping with
Russia's attempt to secure the acceptance
Of the new protocol by the Western pow

WILMINGTON, March "a. 1877:
EDITORIAL VARIETIES,


GENERAL JUDsoNK1LPATRIcK, Of cav
airy fame and stump speaking notoriety,
who was our minister to Chill, not long
ago, desires to be again appointed to that
position. We suppose he bases his claims
chiefly upon his efforts in behalfof Hayes
last fall, including his memorable letter,
in which he argued conclusively that
money was absolutely necessary to make
the Republican mare go in Ohio and lndi-
ana; but whether the new President will
recognize Kills claims remains to be seen.
Fitzpatrick belongs to the professional poll
tical orators and generally secures his pay
as he goes, and it is doubtful whether his
employers would not make more by pay
ing him to keep quiet. His career in
Chill, according to our advices on the sub
ject, was not creditable, either to himself
or his government, and we can't imagine
why the government and people Of that
Republic should again have him inflicted
upon them as the official representative Of
the United States. Why should our gov
ernment thus offend friendly power?

THE Attorney General Of Illinois, in
response to resolution of the Railroad
Committee ofthe General Assembly, has
declared that, under the decision OF the
United States Supreme Court in the Gran.
ger cases, the operators of sleeping cars
are common carriers and their business can
be regulated by the Legislature. Bill,
will accordingly be introduced this week
providing for the control of sleeping-car
traffic. The sturdy yeomanry OF the prai-
ries can now rest assured that bed bugs
will be legislated out of the berths, that
"single uppers" will be converted into
"double lowers" and that porters will be
only too happy to brush boots for nothing.

SECURE in their mountain fassaess, the
Montsnegrins are very tardy in making
peace. They actually ask more territory
from the Sultan, to the annazemsnt of the
arrogant Sofas in Stamboul, who con-
slider that they merit heavy penalties in

doubtless encouraged by Russia. While
Prince Nicholas is hostile the Turks cam

The Cuban Captain General has de-
manded a contribution Of so per cent from
the German merchants on the island.
Such demand is ruinous, and we do not
believe the German Empire will submit to
it. The Spaniards have always been ia
nous for levying taxes and contributions,
in all countries where they happen to be
in the ascendancy, but they are generally
more discreet than in the present instance
1t is worthy of remark that they never mo.

The wool growers Of Pennsylvania, Ohio
and West Virginia, have decided upon
establishing their general warehouse at
steubenville, and a committee was ap-
pointed at their recent convention in
Wheeling to arrange preliminaries. The
object is to provide storage place for the
products, so that the wool growers can sell
directly to the manufacturers, and save the
