commanding position, had considera-
BILE advantage, and as the Russians
approached, frightful gaps were made
ia their ranks by the artillery of the
Turks. With surprising valor, how
ever, they continued to approach the
heights, and as soon as they came
within rifle range they opened a terri
BILE fire on the Turks. For halt an
hour this musketry duel continued
with undated vigor. About moon on
Sunday the order for an assault was
given, and the whole Russian line,
supported by several batteries of artil.
lery, stormed the heights occupied by
the Turks. During the awful climb,
in the face of a deadly fire, the Rus
slams suffered terribly, while the
Turks, stubbornly~ defending the posi-
tion, sustained equal loss. After OBJ
tanning possession of the heights COM
handing the town at terrible cost, the
Russians virtually had Nikopolis at
their mercy. The Turks, finding
their line of retreat threatened, aban-
doned the town, which was filled with
Turkish dead. Many wounded were
found in the streets and in houses
where they had been abandoned by
the Turks in hasty retreat. As regards
supplies. the Russians leave nothing
to chance. Bucharest, the great GEN.
trail depot, contains stores Of meat, to
which the supplies of rice for the re-
lief of the Bengal famine, were a mere
bagatelle. Sistora will be the interme-
diate and Tuorora the advance depot.
A rapid advance on Rustchuk does not
seem imminent. Cavalry outposts
extend from a point on the Danube II
miles west of Rustchuk, to 40 miles
inland facing the Turkish foremost
position. On the river Lorne, small
reccnnoisances are pushed forward,
but the mass of divisions have been
stationary for about a week. Railway
communication OH the Andrianople
line has been suspended for every
thing except troops. Prince Kara
g~eorgewitch, %pretender to the Servian
throne, has entered the Montenegro
army, a sure sign that the co opera
ton of Seryia in the VAR is expected.
Russian official dispatches claim that
the Nikopolis garrison, two Pashas
and 5000 regulars surrendered. Cor
respondents in Shumla state that they
personally witnessed the Russian at
tack. Unarmed Turks. wounded. old
men, women and children refugees,
say the Russian troops attacked wagon
trains fleeing to Shumla, and muir

yer dollar. In a letter to the Cincin-
nate Commercial he delivers himself
of the following twaddle:
Eighteen dollars and fourteen cents,
represented by the present subsidiary
silver coinage of the UniIed States,
weigh u pound; one hundred dollars
weigh five and a half pounds, and for
ever thousand dollars that a mar is
paid in silver a wheelbarrow would
become necessary if he proposed to
remove it. The wheelbarrow, in fact
will become the essential, and posi-
bly, the fashionable, portemonnaie tor
all who propose to engage in any con-
siderable moneyed transactions, ii the
dollar of the fathers Is to be made by
law the principal circulating medium.
If q business was extensive, and it be-
came desirable to pay at once $500, 0OO

then the wheelbarrow would have
to be discarded and the railroad car
called into requisition. While silver,
therefore, is not An announcement coin
in countries OF low prices and limited
International exchanges; and however
it may once have favorably answered
to conditions in the United States. our
present condition of affairs-our high
nominal wages and prices, and the
necessity that exists for the carrying
of comparatively large sums of money
upon the person-would obviously
seem to preclude the possibility of its
use for the bulk of eve the retail
business Of the country. And il by
law silver should be made the ex-
elusive standard for money values ] n
the United States. no law could enforce
its use for general circulation.
Now. who ever advocated the max
ing of silver the exclusive standard?
A double standard is the most the
friends of honest hard money have
ever contended for. The more the
silver question is discussed the less
the people of the East seem to know
about it. Mr.. Wells should have the
candor to admit that the bulky OBJ
lection which he sets up could be en-
tirely obviated by the adoption of a
silver note currency. A proper sys-
tenn Of exchange would in like a
nsr serve the same purpose. But Mr..
Wells is evidently an impracticable.
and his opposition to the restoration Of
silver TO its old place is scarcely
worthy OF serious consideration.

MILITARY POWER IN THE GOV.
ERNMEy r.

An address OF a semi-political char
acter was recently delivered by Sena-
tor Bayard. Of Delaware, before n OF
the societies of Harvard College. The
gentleman took occasion i'm this a l.
dress TO make some seasonsble com
rnent upon q remark made a short
time ago by General Sherman, to the
effect that without the army the
American people would DO a mob"
lie exposed the fallacy of this asser-
ton, claiming by comparison, with
the history and progress of other
countries, and more especially Ger
many, that the evils Of a condition,
bordering on military rule. were too
spparcnt. So long as human nature
remains unchanged the final argu-
ment Of force can not be disregarded
in the decision Of international dis
putes, but outside and beyond the will
Of the people expressed by law an
American army can not exist. it Is but
their instrument for their W SER
vice. 1t is wholly dependent upon
them, and they are never de-
pendent upon 1t, and never will be
while civil liberty exists in substance
amoug us. When called into exist
ence the army represents the military
spirit OF the whole nation, and is sup
ported by the enthusiasm and pride
Of all. 1t is composed of American
vslor, skill and energy, and is dedicat-
ed to the glory of our III
try, whose history contains no brighter
page than those which record the
naval and military achievements of
her sons: but neither army nor navy
stand now, ever did, Dor ever will.
toward the American people in the re-
lation of policemen to a turbulent
crowd. And those who would wish
to see it placed in such an attitude and
employed in such work are indeed
short. sighted and regard but little the
true dignity of the American soldier CT
the real security Of the American
citizen.
We have given a full and fair
resume of the Senator's remarks on
the point under consideration. On the
surface, his position seems tenable,
but we believe that on thorough
examination of the question, it will be
found that General sherman is closest
to the mark. Power to compel the
observance of the law is after all what
preserves order, and life and property
in every community. 1t is the knowl-
edge that behind the ordinary police
man there stands the sheriff and his
posse; behind the sheriff the militia Of
the State, and behind all these, the
United States army, that keep male
factors within reasonable bounds. We
may all boast about our free institu.

that Pinney has really no specific

BALTIMORE July II.

BALTIMORE July IL.
The strikers threw the freight train
from the Baltimore and Ohio track
this morning, damaging the engine
and some cars and injuring the engin-
| eer and fireman. There is some ex-
| cite ment here over the attack of strik-
ers upon the military at Martinsburg
and the shooting Of one of the strik-
ers.
WHEELING, West Va, July II.
The Governor has ordered the Mat
thews Guards of this city to Martins
burg to quell the riot.
A special to the EUening Ne,cS from
| Martinsburg, West Virginia, dated
1890, says: The rioters still are firm
and determined, and the presence of
the military only serves TO further ex-
asperate them. The town is wild with
excitement, and the strikers and their
friends, numbering at this time fully
one thousand men, are marching
about, bidding defiance to the military
and authorities. Some seventy-ive or
eighty engineers are congregated here,
and none are allowed to depart. A
committee from the striking firemen
has notified the engineers that in case
any engineer shall attempt to take a
train out of town he will be immediate
ly shot. At noon, a cattle train
bound for Baltimore attempted to
start, whereupon the rioters flocked
on board and with drawn revolvers
placed at the heads of the engineer and
fireman compelled them to run the
train into the stock yards. Passenger
trains are lot interfered with, as the
strike is entirely confined to the rams
~portation men,. So far, the strikers
have everything their own way, and
the military are passive and awaiting
further orders from the Governor,
which up to this time have not come.
