False.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Ihe failure and defal-
cation of Postmaster John Macarthur is the
subject of much comment and unusual re-
greet. Mr.. Macarthur held high business
and social standing in the community, and
has hitherto been considered one of the
staunchest and most reliable OF Chicago's
citizens. He first became involved to the
amount of about $40, 900 by the failure of the
Cook County National bank two years ago,
and though the government assumed half
the responsibility, which amount il was
supposed would be covered by the assets of
the bank, Mr.. Macarthur has never been
able TO replace the sum. Besides this he has
become involved in the unsuccessful opera
tons of his large iron foundry on the north
side, and took money from the general post
office department 10 tide matters over until
a loan could be negotiated from some
Scotch capitalists He expected also to be
enabled to dispose favorably OF some
portion Of his foundry, but In
all his schemes for replacing the
money he was unsuccessful, and consequent
ly filed his petition in bankruptcy late Sat
urday afternoon. The matter was kept pro-
foundry secret until yesterday evening. His
petition shows that his total liabilities are
$167 900. and his assets 5000, 900. OF the
debts, $50, 900 are due the United States gov
eminent, and $500 to the Illinois soldiers
home, of which he is treasurer. The secured
debts are $43, 900. The assets consist chiefly
of the iron foundry property. 1t is believed
that the government will lose nothing, being
amply secured by the bond.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
Counsel Which Democrats VIII DO
Well TO Read and Strictly Follow.

To the Editor Of the Sentinel:
SIR-The people at the ballot-box have
been denied the right to choose from their
number a ruler, and their will, as expressed
by the ballot has been set aside by their
representatives in congress and q asurper
has been declared the legal ruler for four
years. Is the voice of the people no longer
TO be heard? Can a dozen infamous men at
the capital of the nation overturn the insti-
tutions of our fathers and we, their offspring
by our inaction, approve their reasonable
deeds? To the rescue, democrats Let the
organization of the Oldest party in the United
States stand unbroken-let every democrat
do his duty-and the usurper and his min
ions will learn that there is terrible retri-
button hanging over their guilty heads
which like the mad waves of the sea will
sweep them from power into the pit of
political destruction. To do this, maintain
the democratic organization, support none
but democratic papers, vote for no man for
any Office who approves the action of the
high commission that set at defiance the will
of the people. Compel every man who asks
for the votes of democrats TO pledge himself
to stand by the people, even unto death ii
necessary, to cast out the political vultures.
Grant no terms to the enemies of free gov
eminent, but stand together as one man and
elect to Office no more politicians, but choose
law makers and rulers from the body of the
people. The usurper OF American liberties
at the end of his four years must return TO
the people loathed and hated as Judas of
old, or Arnold or Burr. Let no democrat
be party to any plan to stop the usurper's
administration, only by casting out of Office
all his friends, and in due time cast him out
with Nebuchadnezzar to eat grass with the
beasts of the field. Democrats begin in the
city and township elections, and put none
on guard but opposers of the usurpation at
Washington, and support democratic papers.
DO these things and the republic shall yet
live. OLD DEMOCRAT.

any curse, any threat of accommodation
or any other moral force used to secure
votes voded an election; that the clergy OF
any denomination were, in the eyes of the
law, no better than laymen, and that all
British enactments in England, Ireland and
Canada conceded in resisting the encroach-
ment of the Roman Catholic church on the
rights OF the citizen.

The EUROPEAN WAR.-The Turks dc

The EUROPEAN WAR.-The Turks do
not prove such an easy conquest to their
Russian antagonists as it was thought
they would he when the Gar first ordered
lis levies forward. And, aside from the
fact that the sympathies of Christendom
were given 10 Russia, because the atroci-
les Of the Moslems in Bulgaria and 9th
cr Turkish dependencies, there was no
good reason to think the Turks foo to
be despised. They were fighting on their
own soil, for their homes, their Gresdes,
their religion. These are things that
would make towards brave, but tho
Turks Ia no coward. The history of
their conquests under Soiyman and other
Sultans shows them to be the descendants
"fa wsrlke race and though the Turk Of
the present day has degenerated from the
warlike standard OF his ancestors, it is
more for The reason that the incentives to
conquest are not so strong as Of old.
The brave stand which Turkey is maxi
ing HboiiISt ilti CJllDSful llINhutI Is gam
ing friends for her throughout the world.
Other nations have time to reflect and
SEQ that the war on the part of Russia is
ono for national aggrandizement, with
Turkey it is n struggle of national life
And tho struggle is and will be detern-
ined one. The pride of nationality and
pride ofreligion is fully aroused in each
belligerent, and unless civilized Europe
intcrferes and puts stop to the carnage,
il will be pnex0mpled. The triumph of
the Russians in crossing the Danube and
penetrating beyond the Balkans was n
short lived one. Their reversos before
Plevna more than offset the others. And
the end is not yet. Plevna is as far, per-
haps further from being n Russian con-
quest than ever. Tho Turks have re-
p'snished tho place with provisions and
reinforced its defenders with 10000 men,
and it will be only at great sacrifices that
it can 10 reduced
Neither Of the hostile powers can draw
oeit Of the contest now. Russia can only
do so ut the cost of dishonoruble peace,
and unless other powers interfere to stop
tho blnodshed the war must "a on.

TnE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL Guard
The Russian Imperial Guard, which is
now reported to haYe been ordered to the
front, is said to have originated in II rogi
men; which was styled by Voltaire "The
Praetarian Guard of Russia" and hy
whose influence the revolution which de-
stroyed Peter III in I772, to make room
for Catherine ii, WAS mainly Affected
An organized household brigade gradual
- grew Rp around this nucleus, which
had attained largo proportions when the
wars of the first Napoleon occurred. Tho
Russian Imperial-Guard figured conspic-
uously in the most desperate battles OF
thnt great conflict. In tho Crimean
War, however, its share was merely
nominal, and since its close it has never
been in the field a! all but IT is believed
by competent judges that its quality has
not deteriorated, and that whenever call
ei into battle it will give good account
OF itself.
