was more efficient worker in the
party ranks during the last Presiden-
tial campaign than Col. Wilkins was.
The excuse made for this change is that
a bargain was made between Mr.. Will
kins and Mr.. Thomas that the former
would voluntarily retire from the Gov
eted Office at the expiration Of Grants
term Of Office in favor Of the latter.
This Col. Wilkins most positively de-
nies, and on the ground that question
of veracity is thus raised between him
and Mr.. Thomas declined to resign the
office at the request Of the President(?)
and expressed his determination to wait
until he was removed. Not being in
clined to be thus bafied in rewarding
his friends, Mr.. Hayes, in respect to
the tender feelings Of Col. Wilkins,
signed the appointment Of Mr.. Thomas
and ordered the suspension Of the OBJ
durate Colonel. The latter claims q
right to the Office under the Tenure-of-
Office Act Of Congress, and announces
his intention to appeal to the Senate.
In the meantime Mr.. Thomas has en-
tered upon The duties Of the Office as
collector Gd interim, and there is fair
chance for repetition Of the Johnson
Stanton farce.

urday hegrandjury of Baltimore coun-
ty, as they were about to be adjourned
after three weeks session, requested

postpone the adjournment of the court
until they could finish an investigation
into the affairs of the county commits

engaged. The court sent for the fore-
man and inquired if there was any
reasonable probability of the jury 5
coming to some conclusion soon or find
ing an indictment against anyone, and
upon his reply in the negative, the
court, remarking that they would wait
for three weeks if necessary for the
purposes Of justice, but that they did
not think it right to keep the jury to-
gether longer on an unavailing search
after evidence, determined to adjourn
the Grand Jury at 3 o'clock that even
ing. Upon this the latter indicted the
two Judges for "malfeasance in office
for the premature adjournment. There
Is a great deal of feeling about the
matter in Baltimore co. The Judges
stand very high as lswyers and men.
and of course the affair will excite I'M
common interest throughout the whole

rHE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

The ''irresistable" Russiansare prov
ing themselves not to be 50 entirely ir-
resistable-afer all. If the Gar thought
he was going to have an easy thing Of
it and walk over the course without
opposition, be is beginning to find out
by this time that he was slightly mis-
taken In his calculations. "On to Con-
stantinople" seems to be as difficult an
undertaking as "On to Richmond" was
in 1851. The Turks have not lost their
hereditary hatred Of the Muscovites,
nor how to fight them, and wherever
the Cars troops have come in contact
with their heather enemies in Asia,
they have had some Of the toughest
kind Of fighting to do, and have almost
invariably got whipped In five hard
fought battles the Russians have been
worsted and forced to retire. They
fought with the. utmost bravery and
we're only defeated after having suf-
fered most terrible losses in killed and
wounded. The Turks have every
where displayed their ancient courage
and have been handled by their off
GERS with a superior skill, that betokens
well for their side, and corresponding
ly Ill for their enemies. The siege Of
Kars has been raised by the Rus
slams and the campaign in Asia prac-
tically abandoned for the present.
IN Europe the advantage seems 90
far to be on the side Of the Russians.
Having succeeded in crossing the
Danube they have taken up their po-
sitions and are preparing for a vigor-
GUS campaign on the enemy's soil. The
slight opposition that was made to their
crossing is accounted for BY the Turks
On the ground that they had not expect
ed them to cross at that point, and
consequently had but a small force
with which to oppose them. The city
Of Sistova was abandoned by the Turks,
and at once sacked and pillaged BY the
Bulgarians. It was afterwards taken
possession Of by the Russians and is
held BY them as their headquarters.
The further advance Of the invaders
was resisted by small body Of Turks,
who, though they numbered scarcely
the one-tenth Of their enemies, boldly
disputed their march and checked their
progress.
The successes Of the Turks in Mon
tenegro continues unabated, though no
great battles have been fought recent
~. Greece and Servia are arming and
it may not be long before they will be
found arrayed against their hereditary
enemies and oppressors-the Turks.
IN England the peace policy has
prevailed and there is now no longer
any danger Of the British Government
being drawn into the war-at least not
at present.
The course Of the French President,
as well as Of the radical extremists, is
watched with jealous eyes BY the Ger
man Government, and it is not impos-
sible that a renewal Of the contest of
1870 may yet be precipitated between
the two countries.

rHE BALTIMORE coLLEcroRsHIP.

The removal Of Col. Edward VIII
kins from the Collectors office at Bal
timore, for the purpose Of giving it to
John Z. Thomas, accords but lily with
the many promises Of civil service re-
form, made by and for Mr.. Hayes.
This gentleman both before and since
his induction into the Presidency de-
clared it to be his intention to remove
no government officers for merely po-
litical reasons, and without good and
sufficient cause. Col. Wilkins had
held bis office but short time, and is
now summarily elected. For this no
iustifable reason is assigned. No
charges Of malfeasance In Office, or ne
glect Of duty are made against the
Colonel, or if made, they have not
been proved, and the only reason that
can be ascertained, Or is given for his
removal is that the Office Is wanted for
Mr.. John I. Thomas, who, it is said,

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON. D.

WASHINGTON, D. O., July 4, 1917.
There is vigor still in the Adams
family, if the interview with Charles
Francis, published in New York pa
per yesterday, is genuine. The subject
Is the Presidency and its acceptance by
Mr.. Hayes. Mr.. Adams met Mr..
Hayes, whom he does not acknowledge
to Be the rightful President, at the
Harvard Commencement, and his re-
marks to the reporter are in the ma
ture Of a defence Of his own course in
thus associating with an acting Presi-
dent, on whose brow is the "brand Of
fraud" It is hardly fair to say that
Mr.. Adams represents or leads any
body Of men, but in this matter he
speaks the sentiments ofa vast majori-
ty Of the people, and hespeaks them in
way to command attention.
The black-totally black-commit-
tee, which was reported as on its way
from South Carolina to visit the Pres
ident, has not yet put in an appear
ance. It's reported intention was to
protest against the giving Of Office to
men half white and half black-those,
as has been said, who can have no pride
Of ancestry or hope of posterity-to the
exclusion Of men entirely black. This
at once raises the race question in a
way which will probably perplex Mr..
Hayes, as, 50, far, he has elevated only
white and yellow citizens to Office.
Senator Blaine was seen on the
streets day or two ago but did not
stay with us long. The Woodstock
celebration was evidently occupying all
his thoughts, though he was not COM
municative on that or any other sub
iect. When this letter reaches you he
will have spoken his piece in the an
cient New England village, and will
probably have given to the Republican
party his idea Of what its course here
after should be.
That portion Of the Maryland Re
publicans who support the Administra-
ton is divided on the subject Of office.
The Collector at Baltimore, the most
important office in the State, refuses to
resign and is suspended to make place
for the great Republican wire-puller
John i. Thomas. This is not reform,
as the present collector was endorsed
by most Of the business men Of Balti-
more. He will fight the confirmation
Of Thomas before the Senate, like Pit
kin, Of Louisiana, and others. What
support they will get from Senators re
mains to be seen, but they evidently act
upon the advice of leading men.
At no point in the whole extent Of
the country is it more difficult to en-
gineer an enthusiastic celebration Of
any event, particularly a political one,
than at the Capital city. The chief
reason is because we more clearly ap-
preciate the insincerity and hypocrisy
underlying partizan politics as used by
the professional politician for his own
glory. We know just how cheap q
creature he is, and for what he can be
bought Hence, there is really even
an organized attempt to celebrate the
anniversary Of our independence as is
observed elsewhere.
The crowds Of office hunters who nc
cumulated here during the Presidents
Eastern visit soon learned the way to
his summer retreat at the Soldiers
Home, and he will not lack for com
pany even during the most torrid
weather. RENO.
