The Eastern War

In the declaration of the Ottoman govern ment as to Russian subjects we have touch of nature, There are certain points of con duct that become the standards by which men are measured and their characters judged, and they arc points of the same crucial nature for nations. Perhaps the most important of these is the treatment of these subjects of a nation against which war is made. l, is the theory of a high civilization that war is not made on individ- uals, but on government; it is the theory of barharism that war simply opens the door to murder of all persons of the hostile nat ionality. In eases where government loses its control of the people and the baser ele- ments may act their will they will make it unpleasant for the inimical foreigners if they catch them, as was sometimes seen in France in the last war with Germany; but 1t Is not conceivable that France or England, or any other civilized Power in the full pos session of regular government could SD fear the bad passions of the multitude as to be compelled to require that all subjects of a State with wich they were at war must leave the country. Turkeys declaration to this effect shows how essential is her barbar- ism and sow superficial and varnish like is her civilization.

finncy.

What George NJ. Pinney does not know
 about rings is evidently not worth Knowing. ! The difficulty the public have, is to dis | tinguish between what George NJ Pinney
 knows and what he wants the public to be-
 lieve. The statement with which he chose
 to favor the Chronicle is kind ot n pictorial view of himself as he is willing to be | painted in his new role of rcformer He is
 the white figure in a group of very dark ones. Of half score of men with whom | he was associated in business and politics.
 hs Is the only one who was not trying io steal something. If Pinncy stole anything It was by accident and against his will He
 dld not start in to do any such thing. He
 may have bent a little ia the force of cir cumstance, but the action was involuntary
 and must not be accepted as an index of
 Pinneys true character.
 If Pinney's story is half true, some DOT ton of 1t can be proved. If William R. Carr has in his possession half a million dollars worth of Pinney's property, the fact probably is susceptible Uf proof. If the same gentleman expended $l 300 in votes for Page at the rate of s d vote. some evidence of that transaction should appear If General La Grange regarded certain memorandum book as worth Sl,95O. therr should be some way of showing what made that particular memorandum book so valu. able. If Senator Sargent stood between the navy ring and investigation the public want tn know, when and where and what were the charges. But it is necessary, in matters of such importance, to take a little time for investigation before arriving at positive conclusions.
 The public have right to know all the facts, and the innocent parties who loaned money in good faith on paper really signed by the Governments trusted officer. will naturally seek tO recover the amount of their losses If Pinney tells the truth, both the public and his creditors will have their rights. But the startling charges of Pinney are empLatically denied by large majority of the parties whom he accuses of crime. Senator Sargent proposes to sue Pinney's newspaper organ for libel Carr will do the same. IL k quite likely that Page. if not La Grange, will follow suit. Certainly, if Pnney does not publish the truth. the charges he makes are lihellous in the high est degree. IL Is n matter for regret, that there Is not some provision of law by which such gross charges could be more speedily investigated. than through the process of libel suits. But justice k slow if not always sure, and those who prefer sober truth to sensational fiction must necessarily wait San Francisco Call.
