Cossack and Republican al, lie commanding

The civil coup dttat in france followed
close upon the heels of the Russian decara-
ton Of war While the COssack is fred with
a gcneIous impulse to yescue the Christian
subjects of the Porte, his worldly eye is open
to the main chance. He hopes to enlarge his
territory in Europe and Asia. 10 secure free
access to the Mediterranean through the Oar

of humiliation into which it was plunged
during the Crimean War. Half million men
have not been armed and equipped for a
sentimental journey across the Danube
and a religious pilgrimage to the Balkan. The
Cossack is girding his loins and making a su-
pIeme effort for the Empire as well as for
Christianity. On the banks of the Seine the
Republican is fighting also, but it ia the good

fewer marriages, fewer children, and by con-
sequence now, fewer unemployed laborers
hence no reduction of wages and no strike.

Although the chief accounts of the battle are
all from Turkish sources. there is little room
for doubt that the Russians have again suf-
Tered severe defeat at Plevna. The Turks
have rarely displayed much promptness in fol-
lowing up their successes; and If they conduct
their affairs after the usual method the Rus
slams will find time TO recuperate' though at
best their advance must be seriously delayed.

Civil Service Reform appears about to take
tangible shape in the Bureau of Engraving
aud Printing. Most of the employees are to he
graded in accordance with the work they do
and their capacity for doing 1t, and afterwards
are to be advanced in grade and pay as they
improve. This looks like managing the Bu-
reau on something like business principles
and may better it so much as to weaken the
popular doubt as to whether there is any need
for continuing its existence.

Judge Kelley of Pennsylvania dined and
rode out with the acting president lastweek.

little comfort therefrom, for he said after

"a o. the MOLLY Maruiran.


nc New York Herald says that with
The execution Of the ten Molly MaRuires
in Pennsylvania closes the last chapter in
the history Of that Infamous organization.
1t is, Of course, impossible not to feel some
degree Of sympathy for the unfortunate
men who have expiated their crimes on the
scaffold; but, at the same time, no
one will deny the justice Of their sentence
The society to which they belonged and of
which they were the leaders was for years
the terror Of the coal regions. 1t set itself
above the law and assumed to itself the
regulation Of society and the redress of
grievances, real or imaginary, by means
and methods bordering upon barbarism.
II was all the more dangerous for the
reason that it embraced in it's ranks the
poor and the ignorant, who imagined that
in banding themselves together against
what they considered tyranny and persecu-
ton they were really doing something that
called for praise rather than blame. Its
oath-bound and semi.religious character
made it all the more dangerous. Harm
less and innocent, perhaps, in the begin
ming, it became in the end, under the
leadership of bad and ambitious men, the
most cruel and bloodthirsty organization
ever formed in the United States. The
more it was condemned the stronger it be-
came. Denunciation by the Catholic
church to which the majority Of its mem
bers belonged only bound its more closely
together, until at last it found itself be-
yond the pale Of all law, human and d.
vine. The crimes of which it has been
guilty will be long remembered in the
mining districts, and it is not improbable
that thousands Of men and women will
mistakenly look upon the men who die to-
day as in some sense martyrs who have
died in just cause, The terrible lesson
Of their execution will, however, have
wholesome effect on the class to which the
outlaws belonged, and we may be certain
that the pitiless severity of the law will
uet6I Tue IuOSL WlCk6u lTOu duyL uIuR hAO
limitations of their crimes. 1t is a cause
for congratulation that the Board of Par
dons was firm enough to resist the strong
appeals for mercy which were made in be-
half of the doomed men. To have done
so would have been crime scarcely less
in enormity than that for which the guilty
men suffer. 1t would have been a mock
cry of justice, and in the end lead only to
the most disastrous results. The Molly
Mcguire prisoners were confident that
their political power and influence would
be potential to save them, and to the last
did not despair Of communication Of their
sentences. To have done so would be to
endanger the peace and good order of the
coal districts indefinitely; to SOW the seeds
Of fresh crop Of Molly Maguirism, which
in few years would blossom into crime as
revolving as that which stained its past
history. Without entering into the alb
stract question of the wisdom or unwisdom
OF capital punishment it is fortunate fol
the security of life and property in the
mining sections that the law has beer
allowed to take its course in the execution
of the Molly Maguires.

From the Springfield Republican.
There can be no doubt that good many
ofthe Jews who have patronized the Grand

the principle Of outlawing them as a race

With our personal knowledge of Judge

They are industrious, intelligent and
