Latest War News.

Although the progress of the war in Bull
garia is slow in comparison with the mag
nitude of the preparations made by both
sides, still allowance must be made for the
fact that in order to wage it with success
the Russians must first transfer their vast
army into an entirely new field of opera
tions. This requires time and an enormous
energy to accomplish. The crossing of the
Danube into the Dobrudscha and at Sistova
means that two great armies must be fed
and otherwise supplied from bases yet on
the Roumanian side of the river. Bulgaria
yields next to nothing toward the support
of the Russians. The Turks have prac-
tically rendered it desert, and one of their
chief defences at present is belt Of coun-
try covering their front on which moth
ing is left but ruins and ashes. But
the Russians have completed their
bridge at Sistova, and. as our dispatches
state, are hurrying supplies to the front
with unremitting energy The Dobrudscha
to Trajan's Wall is in their hands, and the
area of Bulgaria that is still held by the
Turks is limited to that known as the
quHurllateruI. Iue CIur piocH'ih"AoA
that Bulgaria is independent will, it is be-
lieved. fire the natives Of that State with
patriotism and swell the army with recruits,
who will form legion under the command
Of distinguished Russian general. The
integrity of the quadrilateral now depends
Bjela. Should the Russians win q
great battle at that point Rustchuk
and Silistria must fall into their hands.
The campaign in Armenia also seems to
hang on the fortune of single great battle
in front of Kars. The point indicated in
our special dispatches is Ardost on the
road leading south from Kars to Kagysman.
1t would appear that the Russians have con-
centrated there for the purpose Of fighting a
decisive battle, but the selection of Ardost
indicates that the Russian front has been
retired and shortened, if not changed in
direction, very considerably Whether
this is due to recent reverses or to
change in the plan of operations
cannot be accurately determined until the
relative position of the Turkish army is
known. The garrison of Kars may be relied
on for vigorous sortie should the Turks
advance to relieve the fortress, but the Rus
sian right stretching toward Bardess will
probably be employed to threaten Zewin
and the Turkish communications with Err
zeroum. Without doubt battle at Ardost
must prove decisive. If the Russians lose
it Kars will be relieved and the invaders
forced 10 fall back on their base.-Alexandro
pol. If the Turks are seriously defeated
Erzeroum is defenceless

Turning the Tables.

But little while ago the Turks were in
retreat at all points in Asia. and the report
was that Mukhtar Pacha was to be recalled
and court-martialled for his misconduct
of the campaign. Now it is the other way.
The Russians have been driven from points
previously taken; their covering army is so
pressed that they may be compelled to
abandon the siege OF Kars. and the report is
that General Loris Melikof, the Russian
commander, is to be recalled. Perhaps
more energetic conduct Of the campaign
might have carried it's early successes
through with rush to an absolute triumph
but we do not know what difficulties were
in the way But success of that sort was
only possible at first. Upon the fall
of Ardahan they were frightened in Con-
stantinople, and the Asiatic Ottoman army
was reinforced from the army IN Europe.
Eighteen battalions of infantry and an un-
known force Of artillery went to Trebizond,
and thence Immediately to the front. From
the date Of that accession to Mukhtar
Pachas forces the tide has turned against
the Russians. That sacrifice from the army
of the Danube was the price of victory in
Armenia. Of course the army in Europe
is correspondingly less able to stand the
brunt Of the blows that are to fall upon it,
and in the long run, therefore, it will not
matter whether the Ottoman failure is to
begin at one point or the other Those
eighteen battalions or any equivalent force
cannot be in both places at once, but they
may be utilized in both places if the Rus
slams blunder into giving time enough on
the Danube for them to return now that they
have turned the tide of battle on the ther
flank

Tho Day OF Retributlon.

In the letter of our correspondent in
Utah printed on Monday specific intorma-
ton was given as to the participation of
Brigham Young in the murder of nearly a
dozen persons who were guilty of no crime
and whose lives were taken at the bidding
of the Prophet because of their supposed
hostility to Mormon teaching and prac-
tices. There can hardly be reasonable
doubt that he instigated the Mountain
was shot for that atrocious crime,
charged that Young knew of it at least after
it had been committed, and it is of record
that he used all his power and influence
during twenty years to shield the assnssins
But however that may be, whether he is in
nocent or guilty of that great crime, the
murder of ten or twelve other persons is
now laid at his door, and it is only justice
to him that he should be brought to
trial and, if unjustly accused, acquitted.
In this matter the government has plain
duty to perform, and the. country will not
be satisfied until it is performed. 1t is the
bringing of the Mormon leaders to justice.
Brigham Young is in all the dark and mur-
derous history of Mormon iniquity the chief
culprit, and it is only fitting that begin
ming should be made in his case. Until he
is taken in hand by the government and
punished as he deserves to be punished it
will be idle to expect reformation in Utah.
He is the head of the Church, and when he
falls it falls. Thousands of witnesses will
be found to testify against him when the
time comes. How long will the government
permit him to defy its authority and set the
law at defiance

BLAINEs TERMS. Precisely what is the
arrangement between the administration and
Mr. Blaine in regard to his present services?
What are they to pay him, or give him. or do
for him in consideration of his thus conduct
ing the opposition within the party to the
fools paradise of an utterly ridiculous tizzle? !?
He is too keenly conscious of the value Of
the service thus rendered to have left his re-
Enumeration to anybody's generosity, and we
should like to know what understanding
there is between him and Hayes.

Another Savings Bank Cola psc.

II is not surprising that the Clinton Saw
ings Bank on Eighth avenue, has closed its
DOORS but it would be surprising that it
had been allowed to keep them open so long
if the incapacity or dishonesty of the super
vision over such institutions had not long
since been established. The liabilities of the
bank are shown to be $73, 405 and the assets
S73,6cS But among the latter arc included
S26, 900 of real estate, bought in at fore
closure sales; $4,000 in real estate, Trust
Companys stock; 50, 200 of trustees notes
and S700 of overdue interest. 1t can readily
be seen from the character of these securi-
tics where the pretended surplus must land,
and the idea of savings bank with such a
showing being allowed by tho Bank De-
partment TO continue its business until it
gets ready to close its doors of its own voli-
ton is preposterous.

The WEATHER.--The principal feature of the
meteorological changes during yesterday was the
advance eastward to the lakes of the end of q
baromctric trough or elongated depression which
has been for some days developing in the North
west. 1t extends from Western Dakota to
the lake region, with brisk southwesterly and
westerly winds its southern and casterly
winds on IFS northern margin Considerable
rain has fallen in the Upper Mississippi Valley
and along the Western lake shores: also in the
Upper Ohio Valley and portion of thc'St. Law
renee Valley. Two areas of high pressure one
northward of Canada and the lakes and the
other soufhward of Tennessee, enclose u zone of
low. pressure which extends from the Rocky
Mountains to the North Atlantic. 1t is on the
western end Of this zone of depression that the
barometiic trough above referred To is
situated Although the temperature along
the Middle and North Atlantic coasts is
high that westward OF the Alleghanies is still
higher and appears to be less affected as to daily
average than that of the coasts. Portions of Can
ada and the lake region have temperature only
a little over sixty degrees, while adjoining areas
show one approaching eighty degrees. Heavy
winds and tornadoes may be expected in the
region between the Missouri ami the Ohio valleys
southward Of the latitude Of the lower lakes
Tbundcr storms from the southwest will prob
ably traverse the Middle and Eastern States
during the next few days. The afternoon, or
shortly after the period of greatest heat will be
the time of their progress through New York
and New England. The weather in New York
todav will be warmer and cloudy or partly
c,o,,dv. with rains, followed by increasing south
westerly 70 westerly winds and falling tempcra-
turo.

WALL STREET YEsTERDAY.--The stock market
was decidedly stronger during the latter part of
the day, and there was u fair amount of specula-

stocks were quiet and lower, while railroad
bonds were irregular and State bonds dull.

South CAROLINA, at the present time, is an
interesting political study, and the views of so
able a man and so keen an observer us Judge
Carpenter on the condition OF affairs there are
of great value He admits that the state is
better off now than it has been for many years,
aud that the Presidents policy is a. success
These are great gains. Looking beneath the
surface he sees evils and possible dangers in
visible to the ordinary cye but when they arise
it will be time enough to meet them. South

Another Omce-HO1ding Squabble.

Here is another vulgar squabble by the
bread and butter brigade. Collector Tuition,
at Philadelphia has got into trouble about
the appointment of some subordinate who is
displeasing to Congressman Ward There
upon Tuition and Ward run on to Washing
ton and dispute before the acting secre-
tary of the Treasury and the President.
Is it not time to stop this dirty business?
Is the time of the President and his Cabinet
of so little value that it may properly be
taken up by hearing appeals about tide
walters? If merchant were to spend his
time in listening to the disputes of his
clerks and porters what would become Of
his business? We should like TO see the
President losing his temper q little over
these ridiculous squabbles of the bread and
butter brigade. And who, pray, is Congress
man Ward?

WISCONSIN Has SO MANY PosTMAsTERs on the
Republican State Executive Committee that il is
found impossible to even call State Convcn-

too soon. The thing is amusing. The republican
party in Pennsylvania and Maryland is hardly

The annual address was by Prof. e. II.

old new me DDS of educ .tion." The
theme was happily discussed in several par
ticulars. We ave dlsp' sed to differ from
his views of "practical education as taught

professor should remember In the discus

to have no education, for the sphere In
