Gar and Sultan In Arms.

1t is significant of the spirit with which
Russia enters upon the war that is related
10 century of national aspiration that
the Gar Is to take the field and to as.
sumo in person command of the Army
of the Danube. As the Gar is not
known to the world as the possessor oil
military talent this is not analogous to
the assumption of command by sober
eigns who we're also great soldiers like
Frederick the Great and Napoleon; yet
it is an important fact as indicating the
intention that the nation shall feel and
see that the ruler, the government and
the Court have no otter thoughts or pur
poses at heart pending this struggle than
such as related TO its conduct and con-
clusion. II the Sultan also assumes
command of the Ottoman armies, as il
has been reported he will, the standard
of the Prophet will go with him, and the
fanatical fury of the Moslem will be as
deeply stimulated ss the resolute fervor
of the Russian. Perhaps the impulse
thus gived on either sides as we'll as the
experience of the respective sovereigns
may shorten the war. 1t will be OBJ
served that one more demonstration Of
the softas has been made 10 Constantine
pie, this time sssailing the Ministry be-
fore the Parliament. With this element
of the men of the mosques thus acting as
the real power behind sll other powers
in the Moslem capital the possible linn
ltation of the struggle becomes far less
likely than it seemed at one period.-N

be left alone, her hands folded IN patient
waiting. Renaissance, idle dreaming,
aspiration, regrets, tears-these come In
pathetic routine to fill the heavy hours

His views OF the Presidents South.
ern Policy.

ern Policy.
From the New York Tribune.
The Hon Alex. H. Stephens gives the
beartlest and most complete sort of an in :
dorsement of the Presidents policy. He
is sure the political feeling OF the South
fought to be q hearty support oil Mr.
HAYES" for .'he is doing we'll, very well"
As for the Northern democrats, they
SHOULD indorse him and his policy"
When correspondent of the Cincinnati
ENQUIRER asked him if they ought to in
dorse q man "who holds his office by
fraud" Mr.. Stephens replied: "Ttst
has nothing to do with 1t, Whether
Mr.. Hayes went into office by fraud or
other wise, it makes no difference now that
his policy has become known, And
that policy is, as you see, concession
of ali that the Democrats have asked.
Occupying their ground exactly, they
can't afford to abuse him. What do the
people care who governs? They don't
stop to think whether its A b or Z ID
this party or that. All they care for Is a
good government, and then they don't
mind who is in power-nobody except
the few miserable politicians who make
living of of Office. I am greatly
pleased with Mr.. Hayes because 1 think
he wants to do the fair thing. He has
come up to the principles of the Demo
cratic party in relation to the treatment
of the South. That was all that IN re-
ality separated the two parties before.
He having come to our way of thinking,
| cannot help sdmiring MIN for it."
Will this course of his split the Demo-
cratic party here in the SOUTH" why
should it? 1t doesn't split up party
often to have men who have been its OPP
moments come over and advocate its
principles. 1t strengthens it instead OF
weakening it. aThere are no Republicans
here in the South-none except few
carpet baggers and scallawsgs who want
offices As tor the niger, he Is nothing
but a machine-sn instrument IN the
hands OF the politicians to vote as they
want, for this man or that, just as thin g
msv seem 10 demand. He is not to be
taken into account in making up the es'
innate, because be goes just as they want
HIM to Co."

Ex-speaker Randadnli on the Seeds
of Our Commerce.

Ex.Spesker Randall, in letter de-
clining an invitation to visit Galveston,
Texas, says: "The time has come, In
nv opinion, when the policy of the
Government should be to enlarge our
trade relations with Mexico and with the
Central and South American States. The
nnbiic documents show the foreign com
merce of the countries lying south OF
the limited States on the American con-
tinent to be about $500 900 0OO., Our
share of this amount is about sll2, OOO,-
600 of which only about $S7,OOO,OOO is
transported in American ships and under
the American flag. Such statement
should at once arouse our people from
their lethargy. The war stimulated the
manufacturing facilities of the North
enormously and only by the
sdontion OF such 8 policy
can we keep up the &C,

secure a market for our productions. IL

interior differs little from the New York
model. The entrance opens to hall,
which is fanked by double psrlors and
dining room on the first floor. On the
second floor the entire front is occupied
by sitting room, the windows OF which
command pleasant view OF the lower
end of the Central Park. Bedrooms
complete this floor. Above the sitting
room is playroom Tor children, while
on the rear Of the same floor Mr.. Bost.

rear OF the dining-room on the hrst moor
is small conservatory. In the base
ment, at the loot OF the main staircase, Ia
biliiard-room twenty-five feet broad.
In the rear at the foot of the servants
staircase is the kitchen. The cellar will
be used Tor storage with an elevator con.
Meeting It with the sidewalk, boiler
room and engine room, while below the
cellar floor q large stone vault, which
will hold 10000 gallons of water, is ar.
ranged. Water will furnish the motive
power for passenger elevator about i've
feet square communicating with the sew
eral floors. The water will be pumped
to tank on the upper floor and will
afford the requisite hosting power for
the elevator. The low.pressure boilers
will not only furnish power and heat but
will supply steam for a series of pipes
underlying the sidewalk, by means OF
which the snow will be melted during
the winter.
The exterior will be built entirely of
Connecticut brown stone, but in place OF
the usual four inch veneer the blocks
constitute the mass of the wall. Flank.
ing the main entrance are a pair OF gram
ite columns, carrying corbels which sup

extends through the upper stories and
is capped by a low eonical roof. On the
Sixty-frst street front are two bay win.
dows, one running up to the third story,
the other to the root, which breaks about
it. In design the building is Italian,
with panels, midillions and other similar
features, with but reduced amount OF
carving. The floors are laid with iron
beams and brick arches. The stairs will
be of marble, with dome overhead.

A Successful and Defeated Swindle
New Orleans democrat.

The truth is that both Hayes and
Packard were beaten In the State fairly
and legally by majority averaging g.
600 votes. The difference between the
two is, that the American people, in.
GLIDING Messrs. TiIden and Hendricks,
were willing to acquiesce in the fraud,
and SO acqulesced In the inauguration of
MIR. Hayes, while the people OF louisiana
were resolved not to submit to fraud,
even if they had to resort to revolution
to defeat it, and hence it was found i'm
possible to inangurste Packard without
the aid of the army and the navy. This
is the sole and only difference between
HAYES and Packard. Let Hayes say
wha. he may, Packard was rs fairly
elected Governor of Louisiana as he was
elected President; and let Packard say
what he may, Hayes wss elected Presi'
