The most careless observer Of the currents
OF opinion must be struck by the contrast be
tween the state of public sentiment in this
country respecting the Eastern war; aud the
feveli,h interest manifested by Americans only
a few years ago in the progress OF the contest
between France and Germany. Then every
sep of the hostile armies was watched with
the kccnc,t curiosity; the sy1npathie> Of the
whole people were enlisted on one side on the
other; the victories of the Kaiser were celc-
biatcd in Ncw-York with a noisy enthusiasm
and the stories of French bravery were read
here with generous delight. But how different
i the spirit in which Americans regard the
struggle just beginning on the Danube and
the Black Sea. IL may prove to be "a great war,
the crisis OF a struggle long prepared perhaps
the death agony OF an ancient and once splen-
did empire, and the beginning Of vast
change in the ruling forces Of Europe. Yet it
must be confessed that our people watch it
with only a langud concern, interested GER
tainly III the general results but indifferent
to the details. They care nothing for the
difficulties Of the Russian march, or the per-
pexities of strategy, and they wait with no
great eagcrnesS even for the particulars OF a
general engagement
Tie contrast is easy to account for. The
war of 1870 was n supreme trial of strength
between two of the three nations Of Europe
with which Our relations are most intimate.
Oar commercial interests and our friendships
were both involved in their rivalry. With one
Of the combatauts the mixed population of the
American Union was closely allied by ties Of
blood and tens OF thousands OF our citizens,
when they read tho narratives of Grayeotte
and Sedan, knew that they were reading of the
victories of their near relatives, feared that
their own sons and brothers lay amid those
heaps of slain on the other side was the ma
ton for which the Republic Of Washington has
always cherished a traditional friendship, and
though it has contributed less than the other
10 the elements of our population, it has exer-
cised powerful influence upon American lite /;

The Chickcring Hall meeting tonight bids
fair to call out large number OF practical
men, who usually meet TO do something, and
when they meet, usually do it. it remains to
be seen yet whether the meeting will do all
that has been prom sed for it, but ii 1t sue
ceeds in making a satisfactory demonstration
of the strength of rapid transit sentiment, 1t
will accomplish something. OF the strength Of
that sentiment it is net unreasonable to expect
that the members of the Court Of Appeals
should take some cOgni2ance. There have been
occasions when Executives have thought it
proper to ask of judges a speedy decision,
without, of course, attempting to influence the
decision in the slightest degree. This is case
in which il is of great public importance that
a final decision should be mad, and if the
court should be by this means reminded OF
this necessity, great benefit may cnsuc If

Now while any light upon the silver con-
hoyersy is acceptable, the second minority
report of the Silver Commission, which Is the
work of Prof. Francis Bowen and Congress
man Randall L. Gibson, and the conclusions
of which are given elsewhere, will be found
of interest The report strongly condemns the
use of silver as a principal medium OF eX-
change, denOuncing "thc sO-caled double
STANDARD as an illusion and an impOssibility."
The recommendations of this minority include
the making of silver dollars legal tender for
any sum not exceeding 500, and to any amount
in payment Of dues to the Government, except
duties OH imports, the coins to be issued only
in exchange Tor one and two dollar notes winch
are then to be destroyed. This, the coming OF
half eagles almost exactly the equivalent OF
the pound sterling, and the cancellation OF

After all its conflicting votes, the South
Carolina Legislature is expected to retain
much Of lis original plan about paying the i'll
terest on the State debt. The tax will prob
ably be collected, but the appropriation will not
be made until commission has decided what
bonds are valid and how large the appropria-
ton must be. 1t has already been explained
in a South Carolina letter to The TRIBUNE
that the commission plan has been
devised for the purpose of giving
to the valid State bonds the sanction OF
GOV. Hampton'S popular government and thus
silencing the BOurbOns VINO periodically set up
a cry for their Reputation. At the same time
there seems to be some reason for regret that
az appropriation will not be made to pay in
teIest on the bonds whose validity is not con-
tested Ii might not have made much differ
ence to the bOndhOders, who must wait in any
event until the tax Is collected, but it would
have served rs a guarantee of the determina-
ton of the State TO deal fairly with its cred
itOIs.
