the War-Who 10 To FIghts
Turkeys response to the protocol is in
substance this SIN 1856 the nations oil
Europe agreed on certain principles with
regard to me now in 1877 they agree on
certain other principles, also with regard to
me- In my opinion their agreement of 1856
was far more favorable to me than the later
one; therefore respect, honor and applaud
the first and scorn the last. Ibelieve and de-
clare that the first was just upright, virtuous
and valid, and the last is without force and
void" But it was not regarded as of great
consequence what Turkey would say unless
she said yes. Her acceptance was the only
way to peace, her objection insured war,
without regard to the form of the rejection,
and, therefore. the world will pass without
notice the slightly irrational process of a ma
ton pretending to choosewhat set ofprinci-
pies other nations shall be guided by, even in
their conduct toward her. Doubtless q
shark might have his preferences as to the
kind of sauce his fins should be eaten with.
but that point is generally determined with
out regard to his wishes. So the Sultan
will find that if the style of the protocol is
preferred in the northern capitals his own
taste for the Treaty Of Paris will be of no
moment
AS to the point of great Importance to
Europe-the likelihood that others than
Russia and Turkey will be involved in the
war--the indications are meagre, and there
never was case more susceptible of mis-
conception. 1t is within the bounds Of pos
sibility, certainly, that all Europe may be
afiame before the summer is over, and the
drift of opinion is that way but we should
not be surprised to see the war fought to
legitimate end and not shot fired by
other troops than the Sultans or Cars,
save only the Cars Persian allies in Asia.
1t is declared to be 1.-the infexible resolve
of France to remain neutral" This may
we'll be believed. 1t could scarcely be
otherwise. Without France beside her
what sort Of figure would England have
made in the Crimean war? and will she go
to the East alone now, with tremendous
opposition at home? England is not foolish
enough to plunge into a great war without
some faint hope for success, and where is
that hope in this case without allies? Can
she deal with Austria? In the conference
of the three Emperors at Berlin, out of
which the Berlin note grew, Austria was
made aware of the necessity of cooperating
with her northern neighbors, and her re]a-
tions to Prussia constitute material guaran-
tee that she will not forget the necessity.
In the partitioning of European Turkey
Austria will be treated with consideration
that will satisfy her, and it is only through
any doubt on that point that England could
approach her.

The extra session makes the organization
OF the new Congress topic of discussion
and speculation earlier than is usual.
Nothing could be more stupid than the no.
tions put forth by a portion of the republic
can press which is weighing the respective
chances of Mr.. Garfield, Mr.. Foster and
General Banks, as if there were chances OF
the election of republican Speaker. Ac-
cording to our estimate Mr. Garfield will
probably be nominated by the republican
caucus; but neither he nor any other re-
publican will be elected. Yet it is given
out in some quarters that even President
Hayes has hopes in that direction. We be-
lieve he is too clearsighted to hope any
thing of the sort He may no doubt rely
on the support Of quite number Of DEM
ocrats in his Southern policy. But an ex.
pectation that any one of the number would
vote for Garfield or any republican fol
Speaker is preposterous. The election
OF Speaker is party question pure
and simple. There is no justification
which q democratic member could offer
to his constituents for voting for a
republican candidate for Speaker There
are other questions on which democrats may
support Hayes. His Southern policy is a
milder type of the democratic policy on the
same subject, ana no democrat should hest.
tate to upheld the President against his
radical assailants. But to vote for his cam
didate for Speaker would be different
thing. 1t would be an inexcusable desertion
from the democratic ranks. 1t would stamp
and brand all the participants as parties to
discreditable bargain. 1t would be as in
furious to Mr. Hayes as to the recreant
democrats to have it supposed that his
Southern policy is the result of an in
triguing coalition with his political oppo-
nents. The strength and dignity of his
position lie in the idea that it has been
taken from simple, disinterested sense Of
justice. The moment it is degraded in public
estimation into trading intrigue for politi-
cal support in the House all the moral ele-
walton which has hedged the President, as
divinity is said to hedge king, will vanish,
and he will be regarded as vulgar, schem-
ing politician.
We refuse to believe that President Hayes
is inspiring any dicker respecting the
Speakership or that he is party to any
bargain for gaining republican Senator
from Louisiana as the price of withdrawing
the troops from that State. If he should
act from any other motive than sense Of
right and regard for his constitutional
obligations he would forfeit the confidence
of the country. The election of the Speaker
is no proper business of his, and we are
persuaded that he will hold himself aloof
from attempts to influence it. Mr.. Gar
field will probably be the republican cam
didate; and this mark of honor will give
him prestige ana influence as the republi-
can leader in the House. All the indica-
tions point to the nomination OF Mr.. Ram
dali by the democratic caucus; and moth
ing is more certain than that the candidate
of the democratic caucus will be the next
Speaker.

one other direction in which to seek the
cause of pecuniary failure, and that leads
direct to the box office. The price of opera
tickets is too high; it is too large, at any
rate, to allow any one to ever see the
Academy of Music filed with paying listen
ers. While dollar will pay for a seat at
the best play it cannot be expected that
pleasure-loving New York is going to pay a
greater price for an entertainment which,
thanks to lack of competition, is only what
the manager may kindly consent to give.
Opera tickets have lately been reduced in
price from two dollars and half to two dol
lars, with satisfactory results to the manager.
Why, now, should not the price be further
lowered, at least to the theatre standard,
SO that whoever cares to listen to "Don
Carlos" or any other opera can do SO at a
cost which will not frighten him (? Such a
policy on the part of the management would
be heartily Endorsed by the cultured por-
ton of the populace; which means that in
the long run it would be moro remunerative
than the exclusive tariff at present in opera
ton. In literature and other businesses
which depend upon the more intelligent
classes for support reductions of prices have
been ordered with the most satisfactory re-
suits. There is no reason why in music the
same beneficial effect should not be felt
upon the managers bank account. There
need be no fear that the reduction suggested
would lower the standard of the patrons of
opera. Fine tastes and thin purses are
almost inseparable companions, while in
these hard times even the most aristocratic
Of opera goers will forbear to grumble at
cheaper tickets.

fdent.
The treatment which leading democratic
newspapers think it expedient to bestow on
President Hayes is not calculated to revive
the waning confidence of the public in party
organs. The independent press aims to be
as faithful as photograph, distorting
nothing, perverting nothing, exhibiting
nothing in false perspective, but repre-
senting things just as they are according
to their true merits. When President
Hayes is acting SO wisely and SO nobly,
and is disappointing the expectations
of his own party by doing precisely
what Mr.. Tilden promised one would
suppose that the democratic press would
encourage and strengthen him in so just
and independent course. But instead of
that they arraign him for the very things
which their professed principles should
lead them to commend. They have the as
founding assurance to Willy him for desert
ing the poor negro and abandoning him to
the tender mercies of his white oppressors
in the South. They repeat with pathetic
pusto the calumnies of Wendell Phillips /;
they stultify themselves by praising
Blaine, who has been a chief butt of
their abuse for the last ten years; they be-
stow on him their warmest plaudits for his
spasmodic opposition to the very Southern
policy which they have heretofore advo-
Gated with all the zeal of vehement apostle
ship. How can they expect to retain the
confidence of their readers when they thus
"turn their backs upon themselves" and
traduce policy to which they stand COM
mitted?
They cannot expect their readers to forget
how constantly, during the canvass, they
scoffed the fair promises in Mr.. Hayes
letter of acceptance, on the ground
that whatever candidate might say
for eloctionecring effect, no President, and
least of all Mr.. Hayes, should he be elected,
could emancipate himself from the control
Of the leaders who managed his canvass.
The democratic organs derided everybody as
q simpleton who protested to believe that
Mr.. Hayes could possibly have the courage
and firmness to keep his promises against
the influence of party leaders like Blaine.
And now when the President is doing this
very thing when he is making it o matter
of conscience and principle to keep the
pledges in his letter, the democratic jour-
nails, instead of acknowledging the injustice
they did to his character, instead of praising
his unexpected magnanimity and political
courage, instead of rejoicing that he is at
tempting to do what their own party prom
ised, they abet the tanatical radicals in
their attempt to punish him for his fidelity
to his own pledges and the relief heis giving
to the oppressed South. The country will
be apt to regard such treatment as glaring
abdication of honor and principle and as a
new reason for putting no trust in the party
press.

fallen in the Northwest attending the depression
in that region. The pressure continues low on

with the President in enforcing them rally
around the administration"
To such an appeal as this the country
would respond. Having thrown aside the old
barons of his party, the President must find
new men. He must have his chiefs in the
Senate and the House. He cannot depend
upon the poets, the rhetoricians and the
Sherman family. He was long enough in
the army to learn that you cannot fight
a battle with bands of musicians. He has
been long enough in civil authority to learn
that bosom friends will not strengthen an
administration. He must take men like
Conkling and Lamar, Hoar and Thurman,
Adams and Bayard, and to them he must
intrust the leadership of his party. He

The Temperance Meeting.

The ''red ribbon meeting Tuesday
night in the hal was very well attended,
anu the interest seems to continue uli;l-
bated. The Executive committee re-
ported in favor OF establishing reading
and club room, and a committee was APP
pointed to act i'll conjunction with the fl
nance committee to organize some plan
by which it could be maintained, and to
raise the money therefor. There were
several short addresses made, and money
raised to pay the expenses OF the meet
ings thus far. The meeting adjourned
for one week. We again urge the club
to organize the reading room. 1t will
do more for the Temperance sentiment
and public morals Of the place than any
thing else which could be done. If the
club succeeded in this and accomplished
nothing more it will deserve the lasting
gratitude of the people OF ChebOygrn.
