Current Comment.

The Adrian (ATich.) Press (Democrat)
asks with feeling about the President: "Was
ever an Executive favored with such blind
staggering good luck ?"
Inc power of the Sultan over the local au-
tnorlties is shadow for which he NAV fight,
out concerning which he never gives any sat-
isfactory guarantees. If therefore. the Gar
is TO be allowed by Europe to accomplish the
aVoWed purpose OF war, it can end in nothing
less than the substantial surrender of Euro
pean Turkey by the Porte.-N. Y. Times.
The Congressional Record for the las
congress is now being bound. There are
1,3o3 pages of debates, with an appendix of
262 pages of speeches not delivered. The
proceedings Of the Electoral Commission
make 299 pages more, and there is an ex-
haustive index which make about 300 PAGES.
Another edition of the proceedings of the
Electoral Commission, in book form, is being
printed at the government office.
There is no use in concealing the fact that
the solid South means the supremacy of the
men who have made the Mississippi plan the
terror OF all liberty-loving people. 1t is the
Toe OF equal rights, of free schools, of law and
intelligence. President Hayes will discover
this and appreciate it before it is too late to
rescue the nation from the danger which
threatens It at the hands of the solid South.
Boston Trdreller.
No observant man can pretend that the
Republican party as whole approves of what
the President has done. 1t is divided upon
the subject. But the division has none of
the characteristics of quarrel, and all traces
OF it will disappear, in one direction or anoth-
er, when the results of the new policy become
apparent. The one thing certain is that the
great majority of the party, however doubtful
as to the justice of the course pursued, are
not at all disposed to impugn the motives or
authority of the President, or to withhold
cordial support from the general policy of his
administration. If the results in the surren-
dered states fail TO realize the hopes OF the
President and his advisers, the party will
hold them to strict account; but until data
be had for decisive judgment, the all but
universal inclination is to discourage partisan
obstructiveness or aught else that might en-
danger the unity and effectiveness of the
party.-N. Y. Times.

Consolidation Of Pension Agencies.

1t is possible that the Executives order con-
solidating the existing fiftyeight Pension
Agencies will be signed tomorrow. The num-
ber of agencies to be retained, originally stated

;cally determined as follows One Maine, New

Portland; one for the rest Of New England,
with the agency at Boston; two in the State OF
New York, with the agency at New York and
Canandaigua; two in Pennsylvania, with agen-
cies at Philadelphia and Pittsburg; one in the
state OF Ohio, one in Indiana, one in Illinois;
one IN the State of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
the Territories West; one on the Pacific Coast
States, one in Virginia, and one in Tennessee;
one for the States of South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana and
Texas, with the agency at New Orleans; one
for the States of Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri
and Indian Territory; one in Iowa; one in
Michigan; ore in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado
and the adjacent Territories one for the Dis
trict of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland and
New jersey, with the agency at Washington,
from which the foreign pensioners aud those at
the Soldiers Home will be paid. The amount
of salaries and fees now paid is S423, 600 per
annum. The aggregate reduction of expendi-
lures on the new system will be Sl35 OO0-

The New York Tribune, referring to Pres
ident HaYes's intended visit to that city,
says he should not delude himself into the
idea that he will be received "by the able and
influential patriots who compose the govern
ing classes" They give no countenance to
any public man who "carries on his brow the
stamp of fraud" Furthermore. the Tribune
says, "the politicians of the Tammany Hall
school have carried this to such an extreme,
and have taken such precautions against put
ting in office anybody who was in the least
degree liable to carry on his brow the stamp
of fraud, that only in very rare instances
have they ever nominated for office any one
with brow broad enough for even postage
stamp. They will not call on the President.

A STATEMENT has just been issued by the
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics which shows
that the value of the exports of the United
States during the nine months ending March
81 exceeded the value of the imports by $780,
230, $50, and that even the balance of trade in
specie was in our favor to the extent of So
3S1, 1897. Thus the widest dreams of the
theorists who consider the results and nature
of foreign commerce the true touch-stones of
prosperity are more than realized, and yet in
many domestic business pursuits dulness
reigns supreme. With all our great stores OF
wealth intact, movement in numerous direc-
tions is sluggish, and idleness of labor and
capital daily becomes more general. One of
the most pressing necessities of the times, ev-
identity, is the adoption of wise measures for
stimulating healthy activity.

Two of the correspondents of the London
Times, one writing from Berlin and the other
from Belgrade, have made estimates of the
strength of the Turkish army which so pear

be accepted as probably correct. From the
Information gathered by both correspondents,
it seems that Turkey can bring into action
along her whole European and Asiatic from
tier about 100000 men, divided as follows
For the Danube and the Balkans, 100, 900
men: for Asia Minor, $4,000; on the Greek
frontier 10000; the remaining 10000 being
scattered around the frontiers of Serva, Aus
tria and Montenegro. In addition to this,
they have large number of irregulars, who

WAR MAPs.-Scheder's Typographical Map
of the Dobrudsha Eastern Bulgaria), Central
Roumsnia, and Bessarabia,-the valley of the
Lower Danube from the Transylvana Noun
tains in the North to the great Balkan Mount
aims in the ISouth, and from Sistova in the
West to the Mouths of the Danube in the
East. Colored. Scale, L: 100000. Size, 23x24
inches. Price, folded and in cover, sO4O.
This is the best and most complete map of
this section of the country yet issued. 1t has
been prepared with great care and with view
to minute accuracy, giving the location not
only of all the cities and towns, but also of
almost all the villages; railroads and highways
are distinctly shown, while many. even OF the
less important roads are also indicated. The
lakes, lagoons, swamps and marshes of this
region which will prove of great Importance
in the military movements, are given, and
the map is also very accurate and reliable in
regard to all water courses, as well as to moun-
tains, hills, etc.
This map is in fact, so faithful as to detail
that it might be safely used by officers in the
field. 1t will, therefore, be of great value to
all who desire to trace the movements of the
opposing forces understandingly and infinitely.
These remarks apply ialso to the following
map, viz:
Schedlers Typographical Map of Western
Bulgaria, Western Roumania, and Eastern
servia Colored. Scale /: 100000 Size 23x24
inches. Price, folded and in cover. S0.40.
Both these maps are drawn in the same style
and on the same scale; they fit into each other
so closely that, united, they form one large map
of Roumania, Bulgaria, etc., that is, the valley
of the Lower Danube from Milanovatz and the
'Tron Gate to the Black Sea. Size, 23x24 inch
es. This combined map represents, at one
view, the principal scene of the contest between
the Russian and the Turkish armies.

THE Poster Lloyd, journal accounted the
organ of Count Andrassy, says that in 10
circumstances can Austria make common
cause with Russia in dividing or breaking up
Turkey. The most eligible policy for Aus
tria would be, conformity with England, to
resist Russia if England determines to. de-
fend the right. Should England be renliss in
this, Austria will have to shift for herself,
and, in sef-defence, will have to prevent Rus
sia establishing herself within the legitimate
sphere of Austrian power and influence.
German politicians anticipate that Austria
will occupy Bosnia, and possibly Servia, il
Russia is victorious. Excepting few strict
ly ministerial papers, the German press is
nearly unanimous in describing Russia as an
aggressive power, bent upon conquest, stir
ring up revolt, and using the Eastern ques-
ton as pretext for ambitious designs.
