that the compression thoroughly breaks

THE Washington Nation, which or.
ganized its new Wing party one day last
week, has already got an immense growl
on hand. All the old Wings in the
South have been corraled, some Repub-
licans are also coming in out Of the wet,
and very enthusiastic attempt is ma
king to lassoo the Greenback party.
When this is done salt will be put on the
tail Of the Workingmen's party, which
will no doubt be captured by that well
known and unfailing process. The new
Wing party will be big thing when it
is fairly gotten together, as it certainly
will be in a few days. Only the Green
hackers, the Woman's Rights folks, the
Workingmen, the Prohibition party, the
Democrats, the anti Masons and Ben

ACCORDING to William lloyd Garrison
it. is Republicanism that is the "lost
cause" Hear him in the Boston Adyer.
dSer:
Hayes's policy is moi a new policy, but
the old one, from the adoption Of the
Federal Constitution up to the time of
the rebellion-the policy of compromise,
of credulity, of weakness, of subservien.
cy, Of surrender. 1t cast an unmerited
stigma upon the preceding national ad
ministration, to the frantic delight of a
bastard democracy" that deserves to be
hissed out of the country and out of the
world. 1t has already demoralized the
Republican party, inducing it to dishonor
its patriotic record, disregard its solemn
pledges, and take a "new departure"
that, if adhered to, must inevitably lead
to its disintegration and overthrow.

THE Russian advance across the Pruth
appears to be in two different directions
One leads northwest toward Jassy, the
other southwest toward Galatz, an impor.
tant point some sixty or seventy miles
as the crow flies from the mouth OF the
Danube. The Muscovites seem to have
crossed the Pruth in several divisions
extending over length of nearly ninety
miles. They seem almost undoubtedly
to have mastered the position of Borbas-
chi, railway point upon the Sereth.
They are also reported to have reached
Gladova, but this news is probably pre-
mature. The Turks are taking strong
position at what ought to be the nearly
impregnable fortress of Widln, on the
Danube, and in view of the present com.
plications in Roumania, will undoubted.

far as Kalafat. The neutrality of Rou-
mania is, of course, a thing of the past.

KARs, which comes into prominence
in the war, is the citadel of the Turkish
military power in Asia. 1t stands upon
the river Kurs. in the northeastern
portion of Armenia, midway be-
tween Mount Ararat and the Black Sea,
and upon the road between TiAis and
Erzeroum, the capital Of Armenia and
the centre Of traffic between Turkey and
Northern Persia. 1t is a very strong
fortress, both naturally and artifcially,
and is mounted with hundred pound
Krupp guns, and otherwise provided
against attack. 1t is the scene of the
memorable and successful defense of
Sir Fenwick Williams, in the war 1854 6.
Kars can hardly be taken except by
siege, but its possession is necessary to
the occupation of Armenia. The Rus.
slams may, however confne their pres.
ent operations TO Trebizond, on the coast
across the Antitaurus mountains. OF
this district the capital, Trebizond, Rich
and Batoum are the three principal sea.
ports, and it is for the possession of the
easternmost of these, Batoum, that the
first battle Of the war appears to have

THE Newark AaVOcate, edited by one
Of the most sag gacious, thoughtful men Of
Ohio, formerly State Auditor, VIM. d.
Morgan has this to say relating to the
necessity of more money before busi
ness can revive or the country prosper,
The business of a country, as well as
that Of an individual, must necessarily
be embarrassed when it has only one
third as much money to operate with as
it had a few years ago. A man with
only 81 900 in money can not do the
amount Of business that he could with
five times that amount. The same rule
holds true in regard to community. =
Caafg Sentinel.
The business Of country or an indi'
vidual is value, and if the legislation
Of the country interferes with that busi'
ness, unscttles its value, one way or the
other, up or down, it is wrong, and re-
suits in serious evil, The beginning Of
the evil is initiation, disturbing values
unequally and unjustly, amounting to
absolute robbery The returning wave
is contraction, and is equally or more Sc
we're and destructive in its devastating
sweeping ruin. Ofcourse 5000 dollars
will enable man to do more business
than will 81 900, other things being equal
The point we would urge is the danger
of disturbing values. The legislation i:
corrupt and villainous that does it; an6
no one appreciates this more fully than
the able and sagacious editor Of the Ad
vOcat. The Constitution of the United
States sanctions no such legislation; in
fact every safeguard is thrown around
Congress to prevent such iniquity. By
such policy under Republican rule, deb
has been piled up enormously, without
sufficient consideration, reckless corrup
ton has prevailed, and general ruin anc
bankruptcy resulted.
