The Intern atiOnal Rifle Match.

Tomorrow the fourth of the international
rife matches between Europe and America
will begin mt Creedmoor, and none Of the
preceding contests were more interesting
than this promises to be. The first match
in 1874 originated in the chivalry Of the
Irish team, who crossed the ocean to meet
the American rifemen, and the victory OF
the latter astonished the world; the follow
ing year the Americans visited Ireland, and
were again successful at Dollymount; our
Centennial celebration was honored by the
presence OF separate teams from Ireland,
Scotland, Australia and Canada, and once
more victory was achieved for the United
Britain comes to take from US, if possible,
the international trophy. Although in
the rife practice at Creedmoor the Ameri-
cans have made the best scores it
does not follow that they are to have on
easy triumph, but on the contrary it is
quite within the possibilities that they may
at last meet with defeat. The British rifle
men have shown themselves remarkably
skilful, and this time the good luck which
has hitherto attended the Americans may
desert them. The element of chance enters
into the most delicate tests of skill, and even
supposing the preliminary practice is true
measure of the respective strength of the
teams the actual performance may prove
that the race is not always to the swift nor
the battle to the strong. Many events in
the chapter of accidents, from bad car
fridge to bulls eye on the wrong target,
or from headache to bad weather, might
give the trophy to the British. 1t is sup
posed that the Americans shoot best on a
fine day, but at Dollymount they showed
that they could do equally well when the
weather was unfavorable. In any case,
however, the teams are too evenly matched
not to make the contest exciting, and
while we wish our own men to succeed we
heartily hope that their gallant rivals will
force them to do such shooting as will
make the victory memorable. This match
is of more importance than any of its
predecessors because Of the vast popularity
rifle practice has obtained since the first
meeting in 1874. Creedmoor has become
the rifle centre of the United States, and
the international contest will be supple
mented by the interstate matches. This
year teams from Louisiana, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Califor-
MIA visit this celebrated range, so
that, outside of the grand battle,
there will be events to show how sur
prisingly the standard of rife shooting has
been raised within the past few years. We
hope for bright sky and favorable winds
during the match. and shall be perfectly
satisfied to have the trophy 60 to the side
which earns it.

change of invectives that Mr.. Tilden and his
hopes are the real pivot of the quarrel. No
noisy fusillade of denials can mask so plain
q fact.
The pretexts for this yenomous quarrel
are different from the actual reasons. On
the one side Mr.. Tilden has been too re-
Gently theme of general party eulogy for
that side to suddenly turn round and re-
tract it's own praises. On the other side,
Mr. Tilden's friends know too well the effect
of dragging him into such quarrel as
this and letting it be supposed that he
is already laying pipe for another
nomination. Our letter from Saratoga
gives copious statement OF the pretexts
which are made to serve rs reasons for re-
nominating the present State officers The
pretexts of their opponents are thinner and
have less substance AS arguments for in
fuencing the popular mind they are al
together less effective, especially as what the
republican party will say of the nomina-
tions is one of the most important factors of
the canvass. If new ticket is nomi-
mated in the face of such imputa-
tions on the motives Of those who
advocate it as are recited by our Saratoga
correspondent, it will be proclaimed by
every republican stump orator and jour-
nalist that the democrats have thrown ''Til-
den and reform" overheard, and have sur
rendered to the Canal Ring and Tammany
This would be an ugly and damaging charge
to meet, and it would be sustained by large
quotations from that part Of the democratic
press which is assailing the motives and
vilifying the character of the champions OF
q new ticket.

The Mormon Church in Comm Ia sion

The Mormon Church in Comm ission.
The decision of the "Twelve Apostles
of Utah, not to confer upon any one of
their number the powers held until his
death by Brigham Young, but to retain
these powers themselves, is blunder which
shows that they lack that kind of statesman
ship to the possession Of which by Young
Mormonism has owed so far not only its
prosperity but for many years its existence.
The Mormon body cannot be ruled by
Council of Twelve. 1t requires the firm
and quick hand Of despot; of one man,
resolute, unscrupulous, determined, and at
least as practical and clear headed as Young
was The heterogeneous mass, ignorant,
and with all the evil tendencies which
ignorance and superstition breed, cannot
be kept in order and ruled by ''board."
A board deliberates, and while the Twelve
Apostles consult and discuss the enemy
will sow tares
1t remains to be seen whether there is
among the twelve any man with force of
character and power of will SO great as to
make him master of his associates and COM
pei them to his purposes. Uuless the
Church is rapidly to disintegrate there
must soon be new revelation" announce
ing that some one OF the Twelve Apostles, or
some one else, has been appointed to rule
not only in Brigham's place but after Brig
hams fashion. He was far-seeing. shrewd.
eminently practical man., who, had few
revelations" but all whose plans
had clearly defined purpose, and
who punished disobedience as though he
had been captain of man-of-war,
and carried out his will after the fashion Of
the Dictator Franci, in Paraguay. 1t was
not possible that the long possession OF
despotic power over an ignorant population
placed in desert far away from civilization
should not have brutalized Brigham Young !;
but those who speak of him as only a
brute or only an unscrupulous, bad
man, are mistaken. He was an emil
nently practical sagaclous, clear headed
leader of men. He cared constantly for the
welfare of his people. He enforced the
unceasing industry without which life
would become impossible in desert like
Utah. where if irrigation should cease for
three months every green thing would dry
up 1t remains to be seen whether the
Mormon Church can produce another man
the equal of Brigham Young. If he is
there he will appear before very Iona. be-

The Maine Election.

The Maine election was seen by the
voters OF this State to be of little real i'm
portance. Both parties were divided and
dissatisfied with their leaders and plat
forms, and the small vote shows that nobody
cared much about the result except those
faithful voters who always so to the polls.
1t is probably true that if Mr.. Blaine had
permitted the Republican Convention to
adopt a hearty approval of the Presidents
policy the republican majority would have
been much greater. AS it was, the Presi-
dents triends-that part Of the party which
believes in him and supports him--had few
inducements to vote and many to remain
Gratis, they have lived so long under Mr..
Baine's harrow that nobody expected much
of them.
The Maine election proves nothing, ex-
cept that 1t is n republican blunder to
throw cold water on the Presidents
policy; and this may be shown more
decidedly in Ohio, New York and New
Jersey. The California election was of
real importance and the result there is
extremely gratifying. Senator Sargent, who
has so long been the manipulation of federal
politics out there, and who is known as q
bitter enemy of the Presidents policy, has
been defeated. The democrats have carried
the Legislature and Mr.. Sargent will not be
reelected. This will send into private life
very active and jealous opponent of the
administration. 1t will give Senator Booth,
who supports the Presidents policy and
who is an able man, q democratic colleague:
and the country will watch with some curl
osity to see what kind of man the California
democrats will choose. Meantime as be-
tween Maine and California, the first is of
no consequence, but the second must be re-
garded as point scored for reform and
good government.

The Russians at Plevna.

For the first time the chances Of the CAM
paign in Bulgaria may fairly be said to be
staked on the issue of battle. With all
their superiority in strength and resources
the Russian administration has been SO in
capable and the Russian strategy SO faulty
that war impending for twenty years may
turn at last on the ability Of fifty
or sixty thousand Turks to hold in
definitely against a hundred thousand
Russians strong position, thoroughly forti-
fed. 1t is evident that it would be no un-
for the Turks or any other warlike people to
do this. 1t is a thing that is done in all
wars. In 1862 seven thousand Con-
federate soldiers in the lines at York
town stopped for one month the march
Of the Army of the Potomac, hundred
and fifty thousand strong That the
Turks, therefore, may resist successfully
for time at Plevna scarcely double their
number it is not difficult to believe. But
the success of the Russian operations now
on foot requires not merely that they should
whip Osman Pacha, but that they should
whip him soon, for they have weakened
their left wing in order to put great force
in front of Plevna, and thatwing is menaced
by the advance of Mehemet Ali. 1t is not to
be supposed that any of the commanders is
without military perception, and conse-
quently it must be assumed that the Turkish
generalissimo sees as plainly as others the
importance of pushing his advance against
the force in front of Biela. In the Russian
scheme it is supposed that Plevna will be
captured forthwith, and that the army will
then be able Immediately to return to the
line of the Jantra, assume the offensive
against the Turkish right, and thus con-
tinue the process Of beating the Otto
man army in detail. If the move
ment at Plevna proves an immediate
success it will go far to determine
beforehand the success of the other part of
the plan, and will give the operations
character SO favorable to the Russian arms
that the Sultan will be eager to make peace.
But suppose there is failure at Plevna, or
even not an imm mediate success? Then the
aspect of the war will be all the other way,
for the Ottomans will overwhelm the
Czarewitch and come upon the rear Of the
army operating against Plevna, and Sulei-
man Pacha, if really in the position
where he has been reported, will cut off the
force in the Shipka Pass. 1t is the fault Of
bad generalship that the Russian operations
have assumed shape which presents so
many eggs in one basket

APPLYING FOR WRITs.
ST. LOUIS, Aug 1.-The situation in
this city remains unchanged. Every
thing has been quiet and passenger and
freight traffic fully resumed. The most
notable incident of the day has been the
application of Judge Jones, of the GRIM
inal court, for writ of habeas corpus to
command Chief of Police McDonough to
show cause why he holds Albert Curtin,
one of the leaders of the workingmen's
party and secretary of the information
ais in custody. Judge Jones granted the
writ and made it returnable on Wednes-
day. Attorney Beach has addressed a
letter to Chief McDonough, explain
ing the offense of Curtin, and quoting
law applicable to the case, from which it
| appears that the prisoner and othersnow
under arrest are guilty of felony, instead
of simple misdemeanor, the extreme
penalty for which is five years in the
penitentiary and $4,000 fine. Writs of
habeas corpus have also been applied for
in cases of Lofgreen, Cope and Fischer,
members of the executive committee of
the workingmen's party.
