sULEIMAN PasHA's ROOPs.
fLondon Standard. !

Suleiman Pasha's troops are being
hurried forward as fast as the railway
can convey them, but the rolling stock
Is insufficient for the heavy demands
upon 1t.
Adrianople swarms with troops, for
the places Of those who leave for the
front are more than refilled by the newly
raised levies who pour In from Constan-
tinople.
The ordinary service of the trains on
all the lines is now suspended, the rail-
ways being entirely taken up for the
transport of troops and munitions OF war.
Suleiman Pasha's troops look
weather-beaten, and their uniforms ex-
hibit unmistakable signs OF long and
severe service; the men, however, are
In fine health, and can stand any
amount of hardship and privation.
The originally weakly men among them
have been weeded out by the fatigues
and sufferings of the Montenegrin CAM
paign, and the remainder are fit for
anything. Suleiman Pasha In person
inspects the men before they start for
the front, and addresses spirited har-
argues to them, exhorting them to con-
quer or die for their country and reli-
gion. These speeches are received with
shouts OF enthusiasm by the men, who go
forward in the highest spirits.

FpETER COOPER TO THE
IN. Y. Tribune

Peter Cooper has addressed to the
President an open letter, in which, after
abiding to the recent strikes, he de-
scribes at considerable length the causes
which produced them, declaring that
the financial policy Of the past twelve
years has led the land from prosperity
to adversely. Mr.. Cooper finds the only
remedy in "retracing our steps," and
he suggests that the government should
take the following steps:
FWst-Give immediate relief to I'M
employed labor, either through definite
methods of help, given to settlers of un-
occupied lands in the West, or by great
and obvious improvements which are
seen to be necessary to the prosperity
and safety to the country-such as O
Northwestern and a Southwestern rail-
rosd.
Second Restore the silver coinage as
legal tender.
Third-Adopt permanent policy of
public finance that shall hereafter con-
troll both the volume and the value Of
the national currency in the interest OF
the whole people and not Of class.
Fourth Promote and instruct indus
try all over the land, by founding, under
agement, Industrial schools of every
kind that can advance skill in labor.
FEfM-Adopt a judicious tariff upon
all importations Of which the country
has the raw material in abundance, and
the labor ready to be employed in the
production. =,
Sirth-Provide civil service as we'll
organized and specific as the military or
naval service.
Mr.. Cooper says to President Hayes,
by way of preface to these views: From
md RI
your past patrlorlc a le AND
conduct in the political affairs of this
country, we have every reason to hope a
new and straight path Of relief will be
found for the manifest evils under which
country is laboring."

Journal Of Commerce at $26, 250, 600.

know what the tactics Of Blaine will be
in the approaching convention to be
held in Maine. Heretofore. In the Kel-
logg case in the Senate and his Wood

Republicans, or over the shoulders OF

more men were arraigned and held on

at the same time furnish any amount Of
fun for the boys who patronize estab-
lishments that have complied with the
law. It really looks as though we shall

mits suicide.
At o'clock Thursday morning the body Of q
white woman, apparently about forty-six years Of
age, was found floating in the river at the head
OF Pleasant street. The body was made fast to
the wharf, and while waiting the action Of the
coroner it was identified to be that of Mrs. Bertha
Plcoth, who had jumped into the river few
hours before for the purpose OF committing sui
eide.
After the inquest was held by the coroner the
body was taken to her late residence, corner of
Harmony and Fulton streets. The deceaseds
husband was interviewed as regarding his wifs's
rash act, and he stated that his wife had been
Independent of the world, but of late years she
had lost everything and had been compelled to
mortgage her residence. She was unable to pay
her indebtedness, and the mortgage was about to
be foreclosed. This drove her to insanity, and
hence her leap into eternity.
