lie who is not willing to pay the price Is not
ineigently in favor of resumption.
1t is palpable blunder to say that no gold
can be accumulated by the banks because the
quantity necessary for resumption with the
present volume of currency cannot be obtained
By the Government. With the present volume
of currency, Government would require pro5a-
bly, 5000, OO0, 900 for resumption. Ni:h re-
duction OF perhaps not more than fifty millions
in the legal-tender circulation, legal tenders
wouId rise to par, and no accumulation OF gold
in the Treasury would be necessary Nearly
fifty millions of legal tenders are lying IDLE
to-day. They are not used for legally re-
ouircd reserves, nor employed III any
other way. But the banks holding them
are constantly tempted to lend them II

of credits and prices, and making the path 10
resumption vastly more difficult. Get these
notes out OF the way, lock them mp In the
Treasury vaults, and then, if further with
drawal is necessary in order to bring legal
tenders to par, the banks will not find 1t diff
cult TO get in place of that small additional
sum. whatever gold they require. If we first
lock I'D the surplus, upon which loans are not
based, and which constantly exposes to peru
by the temptation to lend it unwlsely, we
shall find that we then have not far to go.
But whatever further contraction may Hen he

another, we have got to pay before we can
reach resumption by any process.

WAITING on TURKEY.

Tie board of "the protocol has been
spread: the dipomatists have prepared the
mena of q beautiful banquet of peace but the
hare to be roasted for the occasion has not
yet been caught. France and England have
chased the animal into a corner, and every
moment imagine they have it by the ears /;
but now it turns upon them, stands fercely at
bay, and makes an unexpected display of
canine teeth Russia with shotgun in one
hand and carvng-knife in the other, looks
over the fence and waits to see which imple-
ment she shall use.
The temper of the Turkish people, now as
at the commencement OF the Eastern difficulty,
is the one factor to which the Governments OF
Europe-Russa cxcepted-sccm to have at
tachcd the least value; yet solely thcreupon
hangs the solution of the present crisis. We
have repeatedly called the attention of orr
readers TO the growth of religious fanaticism
among the Moslem Turks This is the spirit
that ravaged Bulgaria, oye!threw and assas-
sinated Abd-u-Aziz, deposcd Sultan Murad
and conquered Servia. II has been deeply and
angriy impatient with the political mancuyer-
ing of the Christian Powers. TO yield now
would be TO follow victory by surrender, to
turn upon and wound Islam after It's vigorous
revival If the Ottoman Government dared to
disregard the attitude of the people, it would
probably accept the protocol without further
delay. 1t is just possible that the energetic
persuasion of France and England may finally
prevail but, i'll that case, the result will not
be peace. A new internal revolution or civil
war would disquiet the other Powers less than
war between Turkey and Russia; and the
course OF events for year past has brought
on that alternative. Permanent peace, with
such elements Of race, faith, and habits as are
now fermen;jng together and will continue to
ferment, has become impossible in the East

Mr.. Benjamin II. Hill knows what the South
needs, if all his associates in the Senate do
not. We print this morning few extracts
from an address which he delivered five years
ago before the University of Georgian
address full of good advice which has not
become less valuable III the lapse OF time.
Mr.. Hill tells Georgia that she has kept her.
self poor by keeping the negro ignorant. She
has confined manual labor to one class, and
has deliberately withheld from that class all
opportunities to develop its capacities and Its
intelligence. If Georgia would prosper she
must make industry honorable and intelligent.
"Our duty is plain. and our interest is equally
"pain we must do all in our power to edu-
"cate, elevate, protect, and advance the
"negrO.n
This is programme for Southern polit-
clans as well as for economists. If it Is carried
out fairly and IN good faith the result cannot
fail to be Il breaking down of the caste prejudice
which has kept the two halves Of the South
crn population so far apart, and new diyis-
ion of parties upon some more rational issue
than the question of color. When the whole
South goes TO work we shall have peace. Mr..
Hill was little more prompt than some
others to understand the situation, but the
majority of respectable Southerners are grad
uay coming to the same position.

Patronage of the Government, you have your
reform started and fairly under way; the rest
is only matter Of grow,n.
In the conviction that Mr.. Hayes was snch a
man. and that he could be trusted to do his
own work, and DO it well, without calling for
legislation to hinder him from doing wrong,
The TgIBUSE supported his candidacy for the
Presidency. He has not disappointed rs. The
essential part of civil service reform was
adopted and went into immediate operation
when the notice :" No vacancies" was put up
in all the departments. That struck at the root
of all the abuses of patronage. That was IN
itself a revolution. 1t sounded strangely, to be
sure, in the ears of the faithful party worker
the committeeman and stump orator and
organ- grinder, to have his application an
svered with "No vacancies" Suppose there
were none; that had made no difference here
tofore. The aspirants for Office had been ac-
cusiomcd to say, i'll such q case, "Then make
ga vacancy. At any rate, give us our re-
"ward." The new Congressman had the ap-
pontees of his predecessor Ousted and his
own installed; the committeeman and
the managers brought in their lists of appli-
cants. and no matter who went out or what
became of the Government business, these all
had to be provided for. The notice mo
vacancies" means new order of things.
1t means that public Office is to be considered
a trust and not perquiste; that the proper
administration of government is not dis
trbution of rewards, but the management OF
a vast business; it establishes the rule OF
pcrmancnce for honesty and fidelity, and DIS
cards the theory of rewards and the system OF
spells. This is the beginning OF genuine and
thorough reform. 1t rests in the disposition
and will of the Executive, not upon any spe-
ciic legislation of Congress or any elaborate
system with rules and regulations and COM
elicated machinery. Ii is rs simple az common
sense, and as practical. However oiiice-seek-
ers may feel about it, the general public halls
the new departure with enthusiasm.

but it expresses confidence in the upright in
fcations and statesmanlike purposes OF Pres
ident Hayes. What more could mis-
conference, OF any other conference intent upon
vcracity and justice. say at this early hour OF the
new political day? The President has announced
policy of Cancellation, but Cancellation requires
time; policy of good will, but good will is to
be manifested by persistent course of consid-
Grafton and kindness. 1t is the end which crowns
the work, not the beginning; but to any states
man engaged in delicate and difficult business,
and especially to any statesman called to such
duty by the voice OF the people, the fact that he
still retains the confidence of the people must
be valuable because il is assuring.
A good deal is said-much more, we sus-
pect, than the facts will warrant-abOut the
political feelings of the Methodists or of the
Presbyterians for that matter, or OF other
great religious bodies. The mistake is in sup
posing that two or three of their prominent
members, who happen to be popular preachers
or to have a personal taste for politics, ex-
press the opinions of majority Of the same
connection. OF course there is rs much political
difference of opinion in the churches as any
where else, as why should there not BET But

HyUPDpUOBh?

By this time, and in the present advanced
state of medical science, it ought to be de-
tcrmned whether there is a distinct disease
occasiOned by the bite of a diseased dog or
other animal. And admitting, as seems to be
probable, that there is such disease, it seems
highly desirable that its diagnosis should be
well determined Otherwise we may antlcl-
pate It's constant confusion with diseases
marked by similar symptoms.
The case of Samuel Richardson, who died in
this city on Sunday last, was a peculiar one
On New Years Day he was bitten by cat
which was supposed to have been rabld.
He is described as young man
of extremely nervous temperament, easily
susceptible of mental impressions. and
the matter of the bite had given him great
deal of anxiety. On the 4th of April he began
to be very much excited, and was unable to
swallow but all these symptoms gave way as
soon as his mind was diverted from the con-
sideTation OF his own case. He slept well for
several nights; but last Sunday he began to
exhibit symptoms of prOstratlon, followed by
collaDsp so that he died on Monday morning.
There was no spasm or muscular rigidty. DIR.
Bruce who attended him, certiiies that he did
not exhibit symptoms of rabies, and a
certificate of death from nervous excitement
was given. Now, here is a case in which
bit for the accident of the eats bite hydro
phobia would not for moment have been
suspected. So far as appears, 1t was clearly
IN instance Of nervous excitement, and the
question arises How many persons having been
bitten by dogs supposed to be mad have died
in the same way2 If here the wound had
been inflicted by dog instead of Il cat the
certificates of twenty doctors to the contrary
would not have prevented u great many
neople from believing that Richardson died Of
hydrOphObia.
In another case which has just occurred in
Brooklyn, Henry Wilkinson, aged IS years,
was bitten about week since by dog. Last
Sunday he complained of feeling sick and eX
perienced some difficulty in breathing. He had
for some time before been troubled with con-
vulsiOns. He went to bed and had four or five
commissions in succession. He was treated
with mustard plasters, but the next morning
was no better He spoke of having been Bit
ten, began to snap and snarl like dog, and
he also frOthed at the mouth. 1t is known
that he had been reading highly colored aC
count of injuries inflicted upon child by
Spitz dog. AS he had himself been recently
bitten, bis imagination of course became
active and the commissions from which he had
previously suffered returned. 1t is stated that
he will probably recover.
Here then are two cases presenting all the
recognized symptoms of canine madness, and
yet in one it was positively absent, and most
probably in the other That no such disease
rs hydrOphobia, distinct, separate, and well
marked, exists, it would be too much to say;
but it is certainly rare, and perhaps one of the
rarest known to medical science

ANOTHER VIEW or THE MATTER.

The opinions even of Methodist conferences
differ, at least concerning public affairs. We
have already commented upon the view of
the Presidents Southern policy taken by the
England Conference, or rather by certain
members of it. AS a cOunterp0iSe to any mis-
chievous effect of this dissatisfaction in New
England, we have now resolution conceived
in quite different spirit, and adopted by the
New York Conference on the 9th inst. This
resolution is an expression cordial and full of
confidence in the upright intentions and
statesmanlike purposes of President Hayes"
and of firm belief that the policy of cOncill-
alton thus far adopted toward those
" formerly in rebellion, and of good
"will toward those formerly in bondage,
cannot fail to advance the welfare of the
"natiOn and The interests of Gods kingdom"
We do not see why the New-YOrk opinion is
not Of quite az much value as the New-En-
gland Judgment and, if we did no more we
might at least set off one Judgment against the
other. But we think that we can go some
what further than this. The New-England
resolutions had what those of a religious body
should not haye--an intensely partisan SAVIOR.
They spoke of "the practical sale of one of
the great political parties of the Republic by
d" two politicians of that party "a charge not
the less offensive because it was somewhat
obscure.
Their vice is partly in their essential untruth.
and this, US to details may have been the
result of comparative ignorance OF public
affairs but no such extenuation can be urged
in behalf Of their spirit, which is that of not
very respectable class of politicians. The New
York resolution is essentially different. 1t
properly enough docs not speak of anything as
having been thus far absolutely accomplished,

No one who reads THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE with
proper regularity fail to notice the wide scope OF
topics covered by its agricultural department. For
instance, in the number for this week, issued this
morning, are articles from Prof G. C.. Caldwell on
the foreign system of fermenting fodder; from Mr.
Henry Ives potato growing; by Prof Arnold on
dairy topics; by Josiah Hopes on Spring flowers;
by Prof. Law on a number of ordinary veterinary
matters, together with numerous notes and suggts-
tiOns from home and foreign fields Taken with
these is the best of its news and more important
matters from the Daily, enough to give fair and
adequate idea of the worlds happenings for the last
seven days We are pleased to note a large increase
in the demand for specimen copies of HE WEEKLY,
and Of course still more pleased that so many of
their recipients report for duty" permanent sub
scribers. The moral of which is, if You like THE

It will be public misfortune if the insurance
investigation at Albany dcgenerates into a mere
conduit for the tatte and scandal of discharged
ploy6s or disappointed wreckers Here is bit of

of The Graphic:
Mr. Knapp President Of tho Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company and Stewart H. WOOdfOrd, the counsel arrived
Tonight In answer the summons OF the Insurance Com
mittec formtr clerk of the Metropolitan, who was dis
charged for ncompetency has written long letter to
member of the Assembly, making charges against the
company. This letter has been handed to the COM
mite and these gentlemen have been called here to an
swer questions on the points enumerated In that letter
II understood that Tie points embraced in that letter
are the same those which the party writing once
commenced suit against the company and was ruled
out OF court his testimony.
1t is discreditable if the committee permits itself
to be used in this way. But, the other hand, if
some of its members are consciously using witnesses
of this sort for Interior ends of their own, the pro-
ceeding is infamous.
