WALL STREET YEsTERDAY.-The stock mar
ket was active and higher. Immediately after
the opening an advance in prices took place
which continued with several fluctuations all
day. Gold opened weak at 1868, fell to 1868
and advanced to 1865 the closing price. Gov
eminent stocks were lower, but at the close
were tolerably steady. Railroad bonds were
active and generally higher. Money on call was
very easy at 2l2 per cent, the former being
the closing rate.

Kars is scarcely two marches from the
Russian frontier in Asia Minor, and it is
hardly to be doubted that such preparations
within the Russian lines during the past
year--if even they we're not made earlier
that all is as ready as it might be in
ordinary cases, if the war had been de-
clared twelve months since rather than
that many days. Consequently it is not
strange to hear that siege train is so
promptly in the neighborhood Of the threat
ened place and that the invaders were on
Sunday in collision with the defenders.
The swiftness with which the Russians
have moved forward at both extrem-
tiles of their line indicates at once
completeness Of preparation and high
state of discipline and efficiency in
their army, while the fact that an i'm
portant collision occurs earlier in Asia
than on the Danube may be the accident of
war or it may be because measures are
forced there and because it is the policy to
make sure of certain points on that line
before urging the war on the other theatre.
ment as to Russian subjects we have touch
of nature. There are certain points of con-
duct that become the standards by which
men are measured and their characters
judged, and there are points of the same
crucial nature for nations. Perhaps the
most important of these is the treat
ment of the subjects of a nation
against which war is made. It is the
theory of high civilization that war is
not made on individuals, but on govern
mcnt; it is the theory OF barbarism that
war simply opens the door to murder of all
persons of the hostile nationality. In cases
where government loses its control of the
people and the baser elements may act their
will they will make it unpleasant for the in
imical foreigners if they catch them, as was
sometimes seen in France in the last war
with Germany but it is not conceivable
that France or England, or any other civil
lied Power in the full possession of q regu-
lar government, could SO fear the bad pas
sions of the multitude rs to be compelled to
require that all subjects of a State with
which they were at war must leave the coun-
try. Turkeys declaration to this effect
shows how essential is her barbarism and
how superficial and varnish like is her civ
illzation.
AS England's relation to the struggle in
the East is of consequence to the world the
resolutions of which Mr.. Gladstone has
given notice in the House Of Commons are
likely to induce a debate and vote of very
great importance. These resolutions are skill
fully framed to compel the government to
show its hand. Apparently the government
is disposed to drift with the peace current
until some event shall arise on which it
may excite war fever, and to take advan-
tage of that. But the resolutions are aimed
at the common sense Of the British people,
and if they are clearly supported the gov
eminent will certainly hesitate in any in
tention contrary to their spirit. The
Queens proclamation of neutrality and the
directions of Lord Derby are formalities
usual in these cases, and sometimes mere
formalities, as American shipowners have
found to their COST

with leading Georgia democrats and republic
cans concerning the policy of President
Hayes and the movement for forming new
political party. Georgia is strong demo-
cratic State, and such men as Senator Ben
hill and Governor Brown naturally do not
think much of a movement which would
necessarily eat into the democratic MAORI
ties Governor Brown, who once attended
u republican national convention, comes out
in our correspondents letter as an uncom-
promising democrat. Mr.. Ben Hill waits,
but waits, of course, on the democratic side.
One of the republicans federal office

blunder, and the others are not enthusi-
astic about it, The most remarkable
sentiments are those of Mr.. Lachrone. a

President Hayes has made ten strike for

Senator Gordon's opinions of the political
situation are not given, as he is still absent
from the State. We understand, however,
that he does not believe in a new party ;
that he thinks the democratic party at least,
to which he belongs, should stand fast and
await events that it ought to give an indie
pendent and earnest support to the Presi-
dent in oil right policies, and that it ought

President Diaz's Message.

The Message of the new President of
Mexico, which we print in ertenso elsewhere,
asserts that the whole country is now at
peace and that he hopes. with the assistance
of Congress, to get the finances into good
order and to institute some needed reforms.
Among these he proposes to abolish the ex-
port duties on silver and other Mexican
products, which would really be reform Of
some importance. 1t is not difficult to read
between the lines of President Diazs some
what rose-colored account of Mexican affairs
that the new administration finds it very
hard to make both ends meet at the Treas
ury; but the propositions to abolish export
duties, to decrease the army and to reform
the internal revenue system really look like
business and we shall watch with interest
the action Of the Mexican Congress
Meantime our own government is likely,
it seems, to call Mexicos attention to GER
tain wrongs committed upon American
citizens, Of which an account is given in q
letter from Washington in our columns this
morning. If Mr.. Diaz wishes to obtain in
this country the name of reformer we
advise him to reform at once the ridicu-
lous Mexican system Of prestamo or forced
loans We do not wish him to abolish en-
tirely what has SO long been fixed political
custom of Mexican politicians. Let them 20
on levying forced loans by all means, but
never on Americans. So sensible person
as Mr.. Daz will understand us when we
express the opinion that he and Mexican
politicians in general will incur needless
and very serious risk hereafter if they lay
prestamo on an American citizen. 1t is
time to stop that.

The War and the Map or Europe.
Woe to those who have made maps of
Continental Europe, but JOY to those who
have yet to make them. Old maps, like old
almanacs, are valuable for reference, but
are not to be trusted as contemporaneous
guides. If there is to be a general war in
Europe this year, as many wise persons
think, our map publishers will be kept
busy, and the stock on hand will be as OBJ
solete as last years fashion plates. Sup
posing that Russia should conquer the Bos-
phorus or annex Bosnia or Herzegovina,
or that Roumania should obtain entire
independence, or that q great Slavonic
confederacy should be created, or that Ger
many and France should quarrel again
over the frontiers, or that England should
send troops to aid the Turks, or that Aus
tria should resist the aggressions of Russia,
or that Italy should take part in the
grand fight, or that any dozen or SO Of hun
dreds of contingencies should happen,
what, then, would be the value Of the pres
emit map of Europe? 1t would serve only,

tains, seas and rivers would remain as they
have been for centuries, but the boundaries
of nations would be obliterated and new
lines of demarcation established. The
Frenchman might find himself suddenly in
the German Empire, or the German a citi-
zen of France. People who were a short
time ago subjects of the Porte might be-
come dependents of the Gear. A great
Continental contest would change the
political face of Europe as the turn
ing of the kaleidoscope alters the re-
lations of it's contents. Already we see
that the mouth of the Danube fills the eye
of Europe, and all observant minds must
perceive that the passion for strife-this
strange row mania, as it might we'll be called
has changed to a scowl the smile Of the
pleasant Montenegro. After such war as
this may yet become Europe would not
know her own face when she looked in the
mirror, and children returning after long
absence to their native lands might be
astonished to find themselves in foreign
countries. What the new map Of Europe
will be puzzles the prophets now, but it is
not likely to be worse than the present map,
and may be much better.

Cotton and Corn.


Georgia correspondent calling attention to
the effect of the European war on the mar
ket for cotton. He expects-and we see no
reason for dissenting from his view-that
the producers of cotton will suffer by the
war, as the producers of grain, provisions
and military supplies will be benefited by
it. The Commissioners of Agriculture of
the State of Georgia hold the same opinion,
and have issued circular urging the people
to raise their own supplies Of food in view
OF the threatened decline in the great South
ern staple. PROFESSIONALLY this is wise
advice, and the people of all the cotton
growing States would do well to follow, it.
But the planters must not allow them
selves to become the victims of chimerical
exaggeration. The price of cotton will de-
cline, but by no means in the same proper
ton that the prices of grain and provisions
will advance. This will be evident the
moment we inquire into the cause Of the
advance on the one hand and Of the decline
on the other. The certain advance of grain
and provisions depends on the fact that
England produces but fraction of her own
food. Her importations of grain come
mainly from two sources-the Russian ports
of the Black Sea and the United States.
The United States will, accordingly,
have no considerable competitor in supply
ing the large English demand. With this
practical monopoly of the English market
we shall be able to sell at high prices all the
grain we can produce Of course there will
be a golden harvest for American grain
growers. The curtailment of the market for
cotton will be altogether smaller in extent.
Our cotton growers, unlike our grain grow
ers, are not dependent on one foreign mar
ket TO be sure, we send the bulk of our
exported cotton to England, but England
receives it only to convert it into
fabrics and re-export it to all parts
of the world. The amount taken by
Russia and Turkey is bagatelle in
comparison with the consumption of
other countries. The war will not inter-
rupt the cotton manufacture Of Great Britain
nor very greatly impair her markets She
supplies Mexico and all South America,
supplies Africa, supplies her own vast colo
nial possessions, and the war will diminish
consumption in none Of these markets.
France and Germany make their own cot
ton goods, but they depend on MS for
the raw material, and their domestic
consumption will not be perceptibly
abridged by the war.

mains to be cured an evil to which we have
no doubt the President will give his atten-
ton very soon. Under President Grant al
most ali the federal Offices in the Southern
States wers filed by Northern men, who
generally misused their places for political
purposes. Packard, for instance, o Maine
man, with no hold upon Louisiana, was
United States Marshal and at the same time
chairman Of the Republican State Commit
tee. The venerable ex-President Woolsey,
Of Yale, advised Mr.. Hayes last year to put
Southern men into Southern Offices" and we
do not doubt the President appreciates the
importance of the advice. We shall endeavor
to show its value on another occasion.

the road running for twenty miles through
one of the most picturesque parts of
New York, including view Of the
Central Park, the Harlem River, the gleam-
ing waters of the Sound and the charming
hills and valleys of Westchester. Twenty
one horses, in relays, are required to make
the journey, and they whirl the coach along
the shaded road at the speed of ten miles
an hour, arriving at New Rochelle in Two
hours. There a lunch awaits the merry
visitors, and in the afternoon they return to
New York in ample time for dinner. Thus the
traveller who secures place on Colonel
Kane's coach has forty miles of pleasant
riding and an exhilaration which no rail-
road rapidity can give. Coaching every
year grows more in favor with our people,
and this season is likely to be the most brill
liant we have ever had. The club will in
clude about twenty four-in-hands. and
in the latter part of this merry month
of May it will have it's first parade.
Possibly there may be new routes
attractive drives in her immediate vicinity.
But twenty miles of better driving can be
nowhere found than on the roads Of which
the sure and swift "Tally-Ho" coach will
have the monopoly till next fall. 1t has
been incorrectly stated that all the seats for
Colonel Kane's coach have been secured for
the month of May, but on the contrary,
capital places can be had except during the
first days. There is no suburban sport
more healthful and delightful than that of
coaching, and none that better deserves the
encouragement of all who would have the
good old customs revived in modern days.

of Alabama and surely while the black
man has in any State equal justice, equal
school privileges, the ability to acquire and
hold property, and the undisputed and con-
stantly exercised right to emigrate if he
finds himself uncom Portable, the sensible
part Of the Northern people will ask no more
for him.
The most remarkable fact in the recent
history Of the Southern States is the instant
and complete cessation of political disturb
ances, murder, violence and lawlessncss
which has followed upon the stoppage of
federal military interference. Arkansas, for
instance, was SO given over to lawlessness
under the carpet-bag rule that republicans
declared constantly that they would not
dare to remain in the State if Congress did
not GUST the democratic Governor Garland
and maintain the republican Brooks by
armed forces. But, happily, Congress re-
fused to do this. The State passed into the
complete control of the democrats in the
spring of 1876, and peace. order, obedience
to and respect for law at once took the
place of violence and lawlessness, and have
been malntalnea ever SINCE no one making
the least complaint. Indeed, large negro
emigration began to set into Arkansas from
other States soon after it fell into the hands
Of the democrats--surely a most forcible
commentary on the wisdom of the policy of
local self-government and federal non-inter-
ference.
There is, therefore, every reason which
experience can give US for believing that the
negro will be entirely safe in South Caro-
lima and Louisiana, and that local self-gov-
ernment wisely given them by President
Hayes, will make both races in those COM
munitics happier and more prosperous than
thew have been since the war. If this is the
result who can complain? Surely not hon.
