MILWAUKEE, July "a special to

there was terrible whilwind in that
town on Sunday night, leaving but
three houses standing. The Gardner
House, large hotel, was wholly de-

arc known to be killed, twenty

RUSSIA DETERMINED TO CAPTURE CON-
sTANTINoPLE.

SIANIlNpIlAks
LONDON, July 9.-It is said that
government has information that the
Russians intend to occupy CONSTANT
nople at all risks, unless the Turks
anticipate that event and make peace
ON the Cars terms. The effect of this
and other intelligence as to Russian
intentions has been to modify very
considerably the view taken Of the
crisis by certain members of the cabi-
net. The practical outcome will prob
ably be that if more of the energetic
members should feel bound to adopt
an active policy they will no longer be
opposed by those of their colleagues
who have hitherto been disposed to be
cautions. 1t is reported that rein
forcements are to be sent to the
squadron in Besika Bay.
The Sultan recently at q private au-
dience declared to Layard the British
Representative, that he would not
guarantee protection to Christians if
the Russians continue to excite rebel
lion in Bulgaria and perpetrate atroc-
tiles in Asia Minor.

TIE Chicago Times publishes to the
world ITS gangreened hate and syph-
Ills in morals, as follows:
"Therc is no Pierrepont at Brussels,
and consequently when Gen. Grant
reached the city no enthusiastic crowd
of flunkeys were assembled to howl
themselves hoarse in his honor. He
was permitted to 60 quietly to hotel
without any public demonstration or
official reception; and some Internal
idiot in his train undertook to ex-
plain the fact by asserting that he is
travelling tncoq.' As he is certainly
not travelling like a thief under an
alias, the explanation is possibly in
tended to convey the uncomplimen-
tary idea that he is temporarily
wearing thin disguise of sobriety
or something"

have altered very materially since he
used to 60 about the country deliv.
ering political speeches for one hun.
dred dollarsa speech, without asking
whether any of the money was paid
by office-holders or not. And that
wasn't ten years ago, either. The on

then and Carl Schurz now is, then he
advocated certain political opinions
ut so much an opinion now he ad-
vocates certain other political senti-
ments for 80 much year. He is just

WHAT A CHANCE.

For years past, a monstrous sight
Of bowling has been done by the
portion of the public about
public men and public measures. We
only desire now to call attention to
one subject Of complaint, and that is
the one touching Federal officehold-
ers. 1t has been a continuous howl
from the democracy charging that
cfficeholders wore collars upon their
necks, placed there by the reigning
powers; that they were always ready
and willing to do the bidding Of an
administration that they were pup
pets and did not dare to act the part
of men. These charges have by no
means been confined in authorship to
the democracy, but they were sweet
morsels for the ~ Liberal element to
roll under their tongues: they even
became not distasteful to many peo-
pie who maintained some sort Of po-
sition in the Republican ranks. In
fine, the country, gradually settling
down to Q solid financial basis, the
people having to pay up their scores
made in fast times, became sorchead-
ed, and scapegoats were hunted for,
and no place were they 80 readily
found as in government officials.
People listened, and even tacitly APP
proved charges thus made against
officers. This sort of complaint has
had its high tide, and for sometime i,
has been flowing backward. 1t is a
fact that at least two of the mos
prominent members of the present
Cabinet have long been of those who
seemed to think that Federal officer
were purchasable, and wore the col
lars of the reigning administration.
Just now the purchasable quality o
Federal officers is not SO apparent t
} these gentlemen. Officers don't seen
to wear their collars. No longer i
| the democratic editor busy cacl
day harping upon the subservienc,
Of officials to their master, but tn
talk Is whose head will first fall int
, the basket. Nowhere do we nov
hear the old charge. Who ha
/, changed? Plainly the ready falsifier
l who made the charges. So long a
B there was no cause for criticism an
difference of opinion, and officer
1 therefore did not differ with the au
q thorities, then the story was flippantl
Q told on every hand that Federal off
GERS dared not sriticise. When, how
e ever, the officers do boldly asser
Y their views upon the occasion arising
then the tune is suddenly changed
}, and they are told that they will b

0 not wear collars, and because the
