The War in Turkey.

1t is frankly admitted by Russia that her
movements in Asia Minor were based on mis-.
calculations of the Turkish strength-an
admission which goes farther than is thought,
perhaps, since it convicts the whole adj
ministration of criminal ignorance, of the
failure to obtain information that was acces-
sible and was infinitely important. To have
to begin the Armenian campaign over again
and prosecute its difficult operations against
an enemy inspirited by triumphs won at q
moment when they seemed most hopeless, is
o discouraging necessity, that will immedi-
ately result in making an early peace improb-
able, for the Russians cannot stop till they
have won, and they must now achieve very
great successes indeed in order to awaken
the Moslems from the delusions in regard to
their strength that will result from this
Russian failure. AS the Caspian hotilla
service seems to have completely broken
down the difficulties in the way of the res
toration of the Russian chances in Armenia
are very great. On the Danube it seems to
be explicitly announced by the Czarewitch
that the Russians are in actual possession of
Tirnova the garrison of which has retreated
toward Shumla. This gives them, there
fore. possession of strong line from the
Danube to the Balkans and presents the
future Of their operations in o most promis-

The Indian War.
the peop

From one act of hostility and murder to
another the latest Indian outbreak con-
tinues and increases in proportion with
the failure of efforts to suppress it. This
must necessarily be the. case with every
Indian revolt at remote point; for
the inability of our armed force at
any given point to cope with the
Indians of the neighborhood is demon
strated by these failures, and the Indian
conception of wisdom accepts these demon
strations rs o satisfactory evidence that re-
bellion and butchery are at last tolernbly
safe. BY our letter from Montana some
particulars are given of the progress in
civilization made by this very tribe of In
dians, and Of its numbers and general dis
position. This exhibits them as some
what superior race, with four hundred
fighting men. That this number should give
us a great deal of trouble is consequence
of surprise in some degree, though the his
tory of all our recent wars with the Indians
seems to indicate that our army has lost
the secret of savage warfare. 1t is clear
that radical change in our whole method
of dealing with the Indians is necessary.
We must pursue rs policy the cautious
plan of not exciting them to discomfort, or
we must hold ourselves in readiness to sup
press the violence to which discomfort will
inevitably give rise.

Postponing Resumption.

The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce
votes to request q postponement Of resump-
ton and Mr.. Smith, Of the Gazette, repub-
lican, who supported this movement in q
speech, enforced his own opinions by the
remark that ex-Secretary Bristow had within
q few days declared to him that he believed
the Resumption act impracticable. This is
all very fine but we doubt if Congress will
do what these people want. There will be
enough democrats and republicans to stand
together in both houses against any attempt
to break faith in this ridiculous manner.
But can any clear-headed observer longer
fail to see that the old party lines are rap
idly breaking down and that, in fact, both
parties are dead? 1t is still some weeks and,
indeed, some months, until the 18th of Octo-
Der, when Congress meets. We have thought
that the present parties might last until
then, but it would not surprise us if both
concerns fell to pieces before that time.
What with the Southern question, the
resumption question, the question of civil
service reform, the question of internal i'm
provements-on which q leading Western
democratic organ, the Louisville Courier
Journal has just unblushingly announced
most heretical opinions-both parties are
drifting into the breakers so fast that pres

Largo Messina is an American citizen,
who has been violently seized in Italy and
forced into the Italian army, and whose re-
lease and restoration to liberty we look for
at very early day. 1t appears that he was
brought to this country when he was but
two years old; has lived oil his life in the
United States; became naturalized citizen
when he came of age; was industrious and
sufficiently fortunate to acquire compe-
tence, and thereupon undertook to visit
Italy. On his arrival in that country he
was seized and forced into the army, on the
pretence that, being of Italian birth, he
owed military service to the King of Italy.

The Tornado in wisconsin.

Another of these terrible storms has swept
through Wisconsin, carrying destruction
and death to the town of Pensaukee. north
northeasterly along the eastern margin Of
o considerable depression central in the vi
cinity OF Fort Sully, on the Upper Missouri
River steep thermal gradient occurred
between the Mississippi and Lake Michigan
at the time. This, with the difference in
atmospheric density and humidity, fur
nished the conditions necessary to the de-
velopment of the tornado. The character of
these storms may be described as q violent
rupture Of superintendent stratum of
cold and dense atmosphere by the highly
heated surface stratum, which in it's expan-
sive effort seeks an outlet, much as steam
does when confined in boiler The greater
the difference of temperature between points
on the thermal gradient the more violent
will be the atmospheric explosion. Now in
this case the temperature at La Crosse was
nearly 95 degrees on Saturday evening,
while at Pensaukee, in direct line to the
northeastward, it was about 65 degrees.
Thus thermal gradient was formed about
one hundred and fifty miles long, and de-
scending at the rate OF one degree to every
FIVE miles, Under the conditions tornado
was inevitable. Our dispatches this morn
ing give the details Of the progress of the
tornado and of its fatal violence. 1t is
proper to remark that we predicted on Sat-
urday morning as follows There are
strong indications that heavy wind storms
will occur in the Mississippi Valley during
to-day" The tornado referred to COM
menced in the Upper Mississippi Valley.

tors and adventurers may say or do IN
Washington this is not q land grabbing
administration, nor are annexation projects
government should prove to be SO extremely
foolish as to resist by arms our just de-
mands, in that case, certainly, the end
might be annexation. General Grant re-
marked in London the other day that the
Mexican residents Of the northern line
it would double the value Of their
property and give them peace and security
instead of interminable violence and rob-
berry. He is right. Annexation would be
an excellent speculation for the Mexicans,
and we have no doubt that our flag, if it has
head of force making war against Mexico,
will remain there permanently. 1t lies
with President Diaz and the Mexican
government to prevent this. If Diaz
wants to keep the Northern States he
has only to consent to the policy of Presi-
pursue the Mexican robbers across the
border. If. however, as some students OF
Mexican affairs begin to suspect, Diaz really
wants to lose the Northern States; if, as is
believed in some quarters, he secs that he
would be stronger by their loss, then
he will 60 on clustering; he will
order his forces to resist the crossing
of our troops; he will bring on collision
between his troops and ours, and the end
of that will be the new boundary shown on
that HERALD map which has troubled so
many people of late. We advise the annex
ationists, therefore, to labor with President
Diaz. II they can convince him that he
would do wisely to bluster and fight they

NEW YORK HERALD TUESDAY, SUPPLEMENT-.

HERALD reporter that 'Italy holds that the
children of Italian parents, born on Italian
soil, cannot renounce allegiance to their
native land" We have the greatest respect
for the Italian Consul, but his doctrine will
not hold water. If Largo Messina proves that
he is lawfully naturalized citizen Secre-
tary Evarts will secure his release from the
army. where he is held contrary to the
treaty existing between the two countries.
and We trust he will require of the italian
government both sufficient sum as damages
for Messinas abduction and confinement and
an ample apology to the government of the
United States. We do not believe the Sec
retary Of State or the President will be con-
tented with anything less than this. and we
are quite sure they ought not to be if the facts
are as they are stated. Part of article 3 Of
the treaty between Italy and the United
States declares that ''the citizens of each Of
the high contracting parties shall receive in
the States and territories of the other the
most constant protection and security for
their persons and property. They
shall be exempt in their respective terrific
ries from compulsory military service either
on land or sea in the regular forces, or in
he national guard, or in the militia"
It does not lie with foreign government
to dispute our right to protect those to
whom we grant citizenship. To kidnap On
American citizen is n serious matter. If the
Italian government thought it had right to
the services Of Messina it was bound to give
notice to the American Minister of the case
and of its intention, in order that he might
defend the man and give notice to our gov
ernment. To seize him, MS the story says
the Italian authorities did, is mere brutal
act OF kidnapping, which is intolerable, and
will not be endured by the present admin
istration OF by public opinion in this coun-

The Orange and the Green.

It may be said of religion, with equal
truth as of liberty, "How many crimes are
committed in thy namew and it is strange
that the faiths which ought to give peace to
the world should SO often perpetuate strife
Another example of this ignorant religious
zeal is likely to be furnished in Montreal on
the 18th inst. unless the authorities act with
that city intend to celebrate the day by
procession which will be swelled to unusual
dimensions by delegations from other parts
of Canada. 1t is said that they have had
secret drills at night; that they will be
armed on the day of the parade
to repcl the expected attack by the Ribbon
men. Thus Montreal may see this year re-
peated in her streets the infamous deeds
which disgraced New York in 1871, when the
metropolis of the United States was made O
pandemonium to crafty brutal bigotry and
ancestral hate. Nearly two hundred years
have passed since the battle of the Boyne
was fought, yet the passions that were
engendered by that bloody field seem to
rage as fercely now in some of the
great American cities. The celebration of
this fatal anniversary appears to be always
attended in some quarter OF the world
by bloodshed, and it is probable that the
number of men killed in honor of the battle
of the Boyne since 1890 is double that of
those who we're slain upon the field. Irish
men may fight in their own country over
this old issue, and we may regret but can

not prevent the folly; but here it is not to
be endured. We welcome to America the
peoples of all nations, but do not intend
that they shall bring with them their ances-
trail feuds and their religious wars. The
clergy and oil the intelligent classes of Irish
men condemn this criminal intolerance of
the Orangemen and Ribbonmen as strongly
as any one can, but if their efforts fail to
avert conflict in Montreal the civil and
military authorities should stop it as effectn-
ally as our authorities crushed the riot in
