ANOTHER EFFORT FOR PEACE

The comparative silence and inaction of the
European Powers, for the past six weeks ap-
pear now to have covered last and rather
constrained effort to preserve temporary
peace At best, it is but makeshift, the
provisions of which might be rendered nuga-
tory by any sudden change of situation in
Turkey; yet there is little doubt that England
and France, possibly also Germany and Aus
tria, would be wiling to accept it, in lack Of
anything more effective. The plan is, through
an agreement of the Powers, to accord to
Turkey a stipulated time (some reports men
ton one year. within which TO inaugurate the
necessary reforms in the internal administra-
ton of her government. Her acceptance of the
proposition is to include general control, or
supervision, of the Powers, with the liberty of
action in case the reforms are not accom-
plished within the time agreed upon. The
diplomatists of Europe, in common with the
commercial and industrial classes, who are 80
ardently desirOus of avoiding war, hope that

The signs of Republican differences at Wash
ingtou increase rather than lessen. Mr.. Blaine's
speech III the Senate yesterday was bold
challenge to any man who had accepted as
lawful the return of the electoral vote OF
Louisiana for President Hayes to deny that
Gov. Pachard's title was not equally good.
He denounced in advance all bargains
which contemplated the recognition of the
Nichols Government, and declared his belief
that none of them had been cOuntenanced by
the President. Mr.. Blaine showed as much
ability in this discussion as wise management
in the conduct OF Mr. Lamar's case. Ills speech
pushes him to the front in the Senate, and the
sharp thrusts he exchanged with Senator
Morton seem to fOreshadOw contest for lead
ership, in which it Is easy to predict who will
come out first.

The contributions Of Messrs. Downing, Hopes,
and Foster, and Of Prois. Law and Caldwell, to the
agricultural department of The WEEKLY TRIBUNE
which is published this morning, are not likely to
be overlooked. They may be trusted to speak for
themselves but we wish to call special attention to
the column of notes and queries from contributors
less known to fame. These remarks if brief, will
be found to the poEt, combining experience and
thought in the truest and most practical result The
TRIBUNE has always been fortunate i'll Its readers
and rather proud of them, and in no place does
their merit better appear than in the aid which thT >
furnish the paper and each other III the agricultural
department What is written is not only worth
reading which is good deal. but worth trusting and
accepting which is worth good deal more. 1t
should be borne in mind that this is only one Of
ifty-two equally valuable collections of agricul-
tural information which are offered to THE TRIBUNE
readers during the year. and that the moral is-sub-
scribe for it.

President Haycs's Cabinet is at last COM
pleted, and the names of its members will 20
10 the Senate tomorrow. There is no change
in the designation of the five who were cho-
sen some days ago-Messrs. Evarts, sherman,
Schurz. Key, and McCrary. If the strenuous
onDosition has been made to one Of them Of
which there have been reports Mr.. Hayes has
no, been moved by it. The two places which
have been in doubt are to be filed by the ap-
poiDtment of Richard w. Thompson OF lndi-
ana, as Secretary OF War, and Gen. Charles
Deyens of Massachusetts,, as Secretary Of the
Navy. The perfected list of the Presidents
advisers clearly indicates not only firm adj

political complications.
The New-York Chapter of Architects long
ago entered its formal condemnation OF the
modified plans for the new State House at
Albany A number of distinguished architects,
in card elsewhere printed this morning, re-
affirm and enlarge that condemnation, and
vindcate the testimony against it which, as ex-
perts, they have lately given before the Legsla-
tive committee The bedrock of the whole
matter seems to be about this: The plan was
originally ill-consdered and the building
promised to be incOnvcnient as well as enor-
mously expensive. The notifications remedy
some of the difficulties at the cost of harmony
of style. A Gothic top is to be put on classic
base. Now the question is, whether it is
necessary to outrage good taste and all settled
ideas of architecture, in order to avoid having
an extravagant and incOnvenient building.
Taxes are hike bols on the body polite
there is no part where it is pleasant to nave
| them. Wherever they are there is sure to be
an outcry of dissatisfaction. 1t is now urged
that they should be put upon capital invested
in insurance. Arguments for and against such
taxation are plentiful. On the one hand 1t ia
urged that insurance capital at present escapes
burden which should fall equally on all
forms of property. On the other it Is asserted
with show of reason, that taxation would have
the effect of reducing such capital, and conse-
| quently of diminishing the security OF lns'Ir-
ance Moreover, if our State corporations are
taxed and their competitors in the insurance
business are not, we shall injure our own com
nanies and bencft foreign ones. The question
as TO the Justice OF taxing insurance capital at
all is also an open one II is usually invested
in some form or other; if III Government
bonds, it certainly ought not to be taxed II IN
| land, it is probably once taxed already. II the
| legislators at Albany should pass bill Tor
such taxation, it is likely to be thoroughly
sifted by the United States courts on the point
of cOnsttutionallty.

Two men in the Legislature, it seems, are
willing to take upon themselves the obloquy
of fathering measures for the INVASION of Cen
tral Park-Mr. Langbein in the Assembly ANA
Mr.. BiXby in the Senate. Both men probably
knew what they were about, but Mr.. BlXby' $
fault is the greater because the nature OF Mr
Langbcin's bill had been fully set forth III
The TRIBUNE before he introduced its fac
simile in the upper house. BY its terms That
portion of the Park known as the ball
ground is to be given over to the militia
for parade ground eat least once year
during the warmer months. We all know what
this means and what it will result III. Thus
far the Park has been sacred. Not even the
Tweed Ring. in the days when 1t was drunk
with power, dared to touch it. The only way
TO Or, serve it now from gradual encroachment
and sure deterioration is to stamp the life out
of schemes like this the instant they show
their heads. Mr.. Langbein's bill has already
been reported, as we understand, and must he
beaten in open house but Mr.. BiXby's can be
disposed of more easily. We hope Tie Senate
Committee on Cities viii put its foot down on
it hard and keep it there.

The train which is to railroad Mr.. Joseph
Coburn to the State Prison has started, and
not all the tugging of his five lawyers at The
rear will stop it. He gets the heaviest SEN
tence the law allows, and, unless some Cover
nor is found foolish enough to pardon him, or
some decision is found weak enough for him
to break through, will pass the next ten years
in hard labor for the State. The community
will find this an eminently satisfactory con-
cluson to the case COburn's career as law
breaker has been bold and shameless. If his
trade was that of a briclllaycr, as he gave il
Yesterday, he has sadly neglected it. He has
made the violation of law so much the
business Of his every day life that his prize
fighting was perhaps his nearest approach to II
respectable occupation, for that certainly in
yolyed some hard work. There was IA time,
and that not so long ago, when rutfans of
this type had friends literally at court, and
could defy the law with entire safety The
prompt dispatch of Columns trial and the
stern Justice of his sentence are sharp re-
minders to his class that that day has gone
by. 1t was time that he followed his epoch,
and the community, while bidding a glad
coOd-by to both, can utter the fcrvent prayer
that neither will ever come back to us.-There
is only one drawback about it all. 1t may
spread abroad the notion that it is wicked to
try to kill a policeman.

The experience was cheap at any price.
1t has long been understood that no vertebrate

dog is so ungratefu as Democrat of the regulation

which this creature has turned upon Mr. Iliden
