POSSIBLE TERMS or PEACE.

The fall Of Kars will give new stimulus TO
the discussion Of possible terms of peace, which
breaks out afresh in the capitals Of the Great
Powers on the news of every Turkish reverse
All the talk, rumOr and surmise centres in
London on account of the superior enterprise
of the London press in gathering news and
gossip from court and camp. 1t is to that
quarter, therefore, that we must look for init
nations, or at least reasonable guesses, as to
the results likely TO flow from the struggle in
Armenia and Bulgaria. There are two parties
on this question. The one, sympathizng with
Turkey, although forced by the course of events
to give up the pleasing hope of seeing the
Crescent victorious, still imagnes that a peace
can be patched up by the concession, on
the part of the Sultan, of few privi-
leges OF self-gOvernment to the Bulgarian
people If the Christian populations north
of the Balkans are given some share in
the local administration of the laws
and are provided with tribunals Of arbitration
to settle their disputes with the Moslems, il is
argued that the Car can demand no more. or
rather that England will allow him to gain
nothing further. The other side ridicules
peace on this basis as utterly inadequate to

The Pittsburg Grand Jury has made an extra
ordinary presentment with respect to the Pitts
burg riots assaling the State authorities
with bitter language, prOrouncing the
killing of persons in the mob fred on
by the soldiers to be murder, throw
ing upon the civil and military authorities
the whole responsibility for the disorders, and
plainly charging them with discreditahle at
tempts to thwart the Grand Jury's investiga
ton. In a word, the Grand Jury spatters
censure and dctraction all over the State Gov
ernment and foreets to say anything against the
mob. The citizens of PittsbuTg are repre-
sented as wise and patriotic persons, who
required "t0 the first principles of society,""
formed themselves into an impromptu police
organizations and succeeded In "stampinG ont "
the disorders for which a set of riOtOus State
officials and a mobocracy known as the militia
Of Pennsylvania were entirely responsible.
Then, too, the gathering of troops there after
the riots were over is resented as an Insult to
the city and an act of cOntumcly to the
Country" This TRADE is concluded with the
Indictment Of nearly hundred persons. The Sc
cret of it all is, that the authorities in Pittsburg,
having come to the conclusion that it would
he peasanter for the city if the State could
be made to pay the damages Of the riots, have
combined for that end And decidedly dis
creditable performance it seems to be.

Nervous patriots are beginning to be haunted with
an apprehension that certain amateur reformers are
schemng to set up some personal and very concrete
little machines of their own. to take the place Of
the abstract machine after its dsestabishment; and
they wickedly point to the late schemng about the
ST. Louis Post Office. 1t isvery painful for the NOR
alist to contemplate mans lack of faith in man.

Ignorance seems TO be the most serious affection
of the Hon. Hendrick b. Wright. If ne only knew
a little more. the possibility of a redeemed green
back would not have such a confusing effect upon
his Imagination, and set him to swearing and talking
like a Pennsylvania Democrat But Mr.. Wright is
old enough to learn and if he is to store his

prayerful attention to sound doctrine like that con-
tanned in Mr.. Garfelds speech.

mind on that subject
After worrying the country and the Senate
for years about the Treasury bookkeeping,
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, has at last
got committee of investigation, which the
Senate gave him TO get rid of him. 1t is too
much to hope for that the Senator may
get lost in some Of these tangled accounts, and
never return 10 tell what he found when he
broke into the Treasury.
No little significance, indeed-for somebody
in the announcement which is sent ont from
Washington. that whenever General Ingalls,,
and other officers implicated in the moth con-
tract charges ask for a cOurt-martial they
can have it. As rule, officers of the regular
army are more than prompt to demand
trial when charge is made against them
from any quarter. Is there any explanation
of this silence1 Don't all speak at once!

1t is unfortunate that the Paris Exposition
bill should have been endangered more by
the management of its friends than by the
opposition of its enemies. The votes in the
House. however. show thus far a good work
ing majority for the bill, and it will need
worse management than it has yet had to de-
feat it, 1t ought not to escape notice that, on
the only vote of yesterday which is recorded, the
Sc votes given against the bill were all Dem
ocratc. 1t is no new thing that the represen-
tatives Of that party either should not COM
prehend the educational and commercial i'm
portance of project like this, or should prefer
to make little reputation for economy, when
the economy doesn't begin at home. 1t was
a well-knOwn Democrat who proposed, some
years ago, to refuse all aid to the expedition
for observing the transit of Venus, because it
was ga waste of the peoples money" There
are Representatives who stick to this line OF
business, and there are doubtless districts where
it pays. But if the enlightened portion of the
people should he insulted by refusal OF the
House to accept this invitation, the men who
are responsible will be remembered. Happily,
however, it takes but a small number of Demo-
Gratis to save the Democratic House from it

Three earthquakes in this country make this
an unusual month. The shaking at the West
last week was alarming in many places, and
extended over wide territory, though little
damage resulted. The central point of
the vibrations is said to be small volcano
in Northeastern Nebraska. 1t is little known
TO tourists, and has been, according to ac-
counts, showing latterly many signs of activ-
ity. \ scientific commission should immedi-
ateiy sit upon IT. Perhaps, by issuing very
heavy report they could squelch it.
Another half million destroyed by fre-this
time at New Haven-is recorded in Our dis
patches The insurance loss is widely scat
tered, but there is enough of it to be felt Sc
verclv by many companies. OF itself such
fire would not ordinarily be of importance to
our underwriters, but it must help materially
to swell the losses of bad year.
Let us hope that we may get through this
month and next without a really great fire,
since that would tOpple over many companies
that now are figuring up the years business
with very little satisfaction If they had in
sisted upon better rates for their risks. such
fires as that of last night might have done
them no harm; but low rates and numerous
losses make a bad combination.
