TEE proceedings of some OF the
religious conventions, recently held
in the Eastern States, sound more
like tine notes of political gatherings
than they do of meetings called for
the purposes of advancing the liter
ests of the church. The great sin Of
slavery having entirely disappeared
In the Southern States. the time has
come when churches should cease
passing resolutions intended to con-
troll political parties. Such action
is morally certain to drive, from the
pale OF these religious sects, all who
entertain liberal minded views, as
mono but fanatics can ever approve of
and sustain this commingling of re-
ligion and politics. 1t bodies no
good TO any religious society engaged
in making such unnatural combina-
tions.

THE want of success and the in
dustrial injury sustained by the at
tempt Of Germany to make gold the
only money Of the Empire has taught
Holland a wholesome lesson. The
Dutch Parliament has killed the one
metal bill, which was copied from
the German act. The White Pine
News says q nation that will persist
in trying to get along with only gold

impoyerised as g people. Wealthy,

THE opinion is universal among
English bankers that the ultimate
effect of the Eastern complications
must be favorable to American Sc
curitles. At present everything is
down in the market, but the money
current will soon turn decisively this
way. 1t is confidently believed that
the war must soon compel more
thoughtful consideration of the whole
field of finance, and this must lead
inevitably to increased investments
in American securities.

THE DECLARATION OF WAR.

ST. PETERSBURG, April s4.-Fo'-
lowing is the text of the Cars mani
festo: sour faithful and devoted SUBJ
iects know the strong interest that we
have always felt in the oppression OF
the Christian population of Turkey.
Our desire to ameliorate their condi-
ton and to assure them that their lot
has been shared by the whole Russian
nation, shows itself ready to bear fresh
sacrifices and to alleviate Christian
persecution in the Balkan Peninsula.
The blood and property of our faith
full subjects have always been dear to
rs. and our whole reign attests that
nur constant solicitude never failed
10 actuate US. The deplorable events
which have occurred in Herzegovina,
Bosnia and Bulgaria we know. Our
object before all was to effect amei-
ioration 10 the position of the Chris
tians in the East by means of nego-
tlations, and IN concert with the great
European Powers, our allies. and
friends, for two years we have made
incessant efforts to induce the Porte
to effect such reforms as would pro-
tect the Christians in Bosnia, Herze-
govina and Bulgaria from the arbl-
trary measures of local authorities.
The accomplishment of the reforms
was absolutely stipulated by the in
terror engagements contracted by the
Porte. Other Governments have not,
however. attained their object. The
Porte has remained mistaken in Its
formal refusal of any effective guar
antee for the security of Its Christian
subjects, and has rejected the conclu-
sions at the Constantinoplc confer
ence. Wishing to essay every posi-
BILE means of Cancellation. in order to
persuade the Porte we proposed to
other cabinets to draw up special
protocol. comprising the most essen
tial conditions of the Constantinople
conference, and to invite the Turkish
Government to adhere to this inter
national act, which states the limits
of our peaceful demands. But our
expectation was not fulfilled. The
Porte did not defer to this unanim-
Gus wish of Christian Europe and
did NOT adhere to the conclusions OF
the protocol. Having exhausted pa
cific efforts we are compelled 10y the
naughty obstinacy of the Porte to
proceed to more decisive acts, feeling
that our equity and dignity enjoin it.
BY her refusal Turkey places US un'
der the necessity Of having recourse
to arms. Profoundly convin ed oil
the justice of our cause, and commit
ting ourselves to the grace OF the
Most High, we make known to our
faithful subjects that the momen
foreseen when we pronounced thu
words to which all Russia responded
with complete unanimity, has now ar
rived. We expressed the intention t.
act independently when we deem i
necessary, and when Russia's homo
should demand it. In now invoking
the blessing Of God upon our armies
we give them order to cross the Turk
ish frontier.

LET Us HAVE NO SPLIT.

The telegraph has been giving US
ominous hints lately about what
certain Republicans are going to do
and cay against tho President and
his Southern policy whom Congress
meets ip extra session, but We have
al along thought the people would
not encourage the politicians to
make serious disturbance in the
party. 1t is probable Congress Will
be convened ON the 4th Of June.
By that time we think the senti-
ments of the people will be so we'll
understood that factionists will con-
sideratsly restrain their wrath and
give at least seeming support to the
President.
The press generally affords a re-
liable gauge OF public opinion. The.
Presidents policy is cordially sup
ported by almost every prominent
Republican journal in New England.
In New York. Philadelphia, St.
Louis, Chicago, and other Western
cities the President is support by
the party press. Senator Biaine'
referring to The San Francisco
Argonaut's story that he has pre-
pared resolutions to present to Con-
gress for new inquiry into tho late
Presidential election, telegraphs
the Associated Press that there is
not the least foundation for the
story. It is the invention OF a luna
tic or an idiot. The following para
graphs we copy from an influential
Republican Journal:
1.-THE new Southern policy de
mands that the test of the legiti-
macy of State Government. so far
as the General Government is con-
cerned. shall be the willingness OF
the people Of tho State to support
it. If any one claims to be the
Governor, yet is forced to admit
that the people do not recognize
his claims, and that Federal troops
alone can maintain him in the Office,
the confession must be fatal to his
hopes, for the Federal Government
does not propose to support any
body by force. The length to
which the coercive policy hns been
carried, and the completeness OF its
failure, are quite sufficient to justify
the present course Of the Admins
tration.
cit is Of course possible that in
applying the new policy some in
justice may be unavoidable, but it
is necessary to look beyond the
claims of individuals. to which
large public interests have been
sacrificed too long already; and to
realize that the paclfication and re-
Mobilization of States require broad
views of the conditions, and me-
cessitate compromises. No one can
be sure that the present experiment
will succeed. but every one can see
that it ought to be made, no matter
how it issues, and most persons We
think will admit that inasmuch as
it is conciliatory it is more likely to
succeed than an aggressive policy"
