SOME time ago, an anxious wor Id was in
formed, first that the British ministry con-
templated the sending of feet to Besika
bay second that the British feet had been
ordered to Besika bay; and lastly, that the
British fleet had arrived at Besika bay. This
Information was, however, more thrilling
tnan Ineligible; for not only did the
omniscient cable fail to convey precise In
formation as to the location of that critical
sheet of water, but maps, gazetteers,
cyclopedias and the contemporaneous press
have been equally silent. Everybody has
talked glibly enough about this interesting
locality, discussing the consequences of the
British ships repairing thirther with
phenomenal perspicuity and profundlty; but
If any one among the gigantic journalistic
intellects to whom diplomacy and strategy
have been "as easy as lying" since the
breaking out of the war in the East, has had
any knowledge of the exact geographical
position of Besika bay, he has kept the
secret with Jealousy worthy ofa professional
rather than an amateur diplomat. However,
the best kept secrets will leak out and John
CockeIill, the bright editorial correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer so far forgets
himself as to write from Constantinople
tnat Besika bay is an indentation OF the
Asia Minor coast just below the Medter-
ranean mouth of the Dardanelles, which
may be reached from it in few hours. 1t
once served as sort of port of entry to
ancient Troy. The strategic Importance of
the position is apparent.

Current Comment.

few months ago Gen. Sherman remark
ed, in an after.dinner speech in New York,
that without an army the American people
would become mob. This remark was
sharply criticised by the press, and by Sena-
tor Bayard in his Phi Beta Kappa oration at
Cambridge, but recent events have set a
good many people to thinking that possibly
Gen. Sherman was not so far out of the way,
after all.
The Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, one of the
ablest Democrats in Ohio, gives Judge West,
the Republican candidate for Governor, a
handsome Endorsement. He told a CONNER
cidl reporter in Cincinnati, on the day of the
Convention, that the Judge was a man of
superior Intellectual powers, and IL not the
brightest and clearest-headed man In the
Constitutional Convention of 1873, ne was at
least the equal of the ablest members. If
elected to the Governorship he would be as
able man as had filled the position for a
quarter OF century.
Mr.. Watterson not only lays aside his
armor, but he rises in the Courier-J Journal to
say that he put it on at the suggestion of Mr..
Tiden. Speaking Of his famous idea of mas
sing 100000 petitioners at Washington DUR
ing the counting of the Electoral vote, he
says: The hint was dropped by one who stood
sufficiently near Mr.. Tilden to justify the
suspicion that it had not fallen without auth
ority. 1t was dropped at a moment when
the Democrats were clamoring for word
and complaining that there was not so much
as shadow OF cue either to organization
or action. Admit, for the sake of argument,
that 1t was impracticable-a mere folly; vel
it proposed something In the absence of
everything like movement"
The Western fnanciers are very severe in
their sarcasm about the "Wall-st. scheme
of resumption by contraction" 1t is so
much more brilliant and original, you know,
to talk about resumption by imitation"
The man who discovered that the moon was
made OF green cheese was original.
In this evil day of cowardly mayors and
imbecile mayors and inefficient mayors, 1t is
refreshing to come across plucky mayor
like Mayor McCune Of Scranton, Pa, whom
not even so serious thing as broken jaw
and severe pounding keeps from standing
up to do his duty against the mob. The
World renominates Mayor McCune for life,
or until he has a chance to serve the COM
munity in more important postion.-Neto
York World.

If reports are true, the Russians in Europe
are in position as critical as their fellows in
Asia. The Turks claim great victory north
of the Balkans, in which the Russians
suffered very heavily, and their advices also
indicate that the Russians south of the Bal
kans are hemmed in between the powerful
forces of Suleiman Pasha and Raouf Pasha.
Should this prove true, it would seem to in-
dicate that the Russians have made precisely
the same mistake in Europe that they made
in Asia; first, in Understanding the

INQUEsTs into the cases of citizens killed
by the military may elicit few hitherto un-
known facts, but public opinion will bring in
verdict of skilled for not attending to their
own affairs" The wcunding of reporter
at Reading was one of the exceptional cases
where those injured had any good excuse for
being in the vicinity of the rioters. His duty
to the public required that he should be
personal witness of the scenes he was after
wards to describe.

The war against South Carolina Republi
cans goes on with increased bitterness. And

RUSSIA has taken pains to assure England
that the distractions in the Sulina mouth of
the Danube will be removed as soon as the
war is over, and, also that it harbors no
project of aggression against Egypt. This in
reply to some vigorously worded queries. 1t
ought now to be evident to England that
the Cars aggressive ideas are not at all
likely to hurt anybody, inasmuch as he is
having all he can do to hold his own with
the Turk. 1t is to be hoped, therefore, that
no more impertinent questions will be
asked

F. G. STEVENS, Eso., of Deering, is prom
inenty mentioned as candidate for Register

business man of experience and is in all
ways admirably qualified for the office. His
choice would be eminently fit in itself and
useful 10 the county.

The New York Herald reports an inter-
view with Vanderbilt. The latter said there
will be plenty of business,an work foI every
body this fall, but at low rates; also plenty
for the railroads to do, but it will barely pay
them. The trouble is that everybody in
America spends too much money. We are
too hopeful. When the habit of looking at
the present as it is, and the future as it will
be, prevails, there will be no more strikes.
The railroad trouble is ended, but there is
great danger frou, the spirit of communism.
10 the press, perhaps, more than any other
cause, is owing our salvation from the peril
which just menaced us, the most serious
through which the country has passed.
