The Board of Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioners of this State have arrived at
what seems to be most unrighteous de-
cision in the barley case recently submitted
to them. The owner Of receipts for about
10000 bushels Of No. 2 barley in the Galena
Elevator finds that the grain is NO better than
the No. 3 in other houses, and asks for
redress. He is coolly referred to the ware
houseman for damages. Inasmuch as the
State law expressly forbids the warehouse
man to interfere with the inspection of
grain, it is hard to see how he can be made
responsible for the delivery Of good grain in
place of the poor stuff which has been mis-
graded by a bungling or careless State Off
cial. The absurdity of such a decision is
only equaled by the statement that the
warehouseman has remedy in an action
against the Inspector and his bondsmen.
The Board ought to know that it is prac-
tically impossible to collect damages from
the Inspector. Meanwhile the holder of
the property, who bought it in good faith
and paid full prices for it, is obliged to stand !

As an indication of the revival of trade and
steady increase in the volume of business,
the advertisement pages of this mornings
TRIBUNE may be introduced in evidence.
An established newspaper not only reflects
the political and social sentiment of the
community that supports it and recognizes
its influence, but also the most delicate vari-
atoms of its business interests. The paper
becomes the pulse Of its constituency,
and its columns illustrate with rigid
accuracy the extent of embarrassment
or prosperity which the various lines of
industry or mercantile endeavor reach. 4
glance at THE TRIBUNE of to-day will en-
courage the people Of Chicago to believe
that their hopes for the infusion Of new life
into all the channels Of trade are about to
be realized. Every branch is represented in
the myriad Of advertisements spread before
the reader, and The TRIBUNE congratulntes
the people upon their manifestation Of en-
terprise, aud pledges itself to assist in all
1audakle undertakings. II

branches, and sowing other seed, and then
decays and dies, to be reproduced. Man fol-
lows the same grent kindly natural law. Heis
born, g7ows to maturity, and passes away,
that others may live, and his span is
s. enough for ife's woes, full enough for its
cheers." ANY infraction Of this law would
involve moral, mental, and physical hor-
ror, q loss Of MI appreciation Of happiness
and pleasure, and intensified susceptibility
to pain and misery,-a fate akin to that
which in the myth follows AHAsuEnus, vainly
seeking in the tempest, the battle, the plague,
the fire, the volcano, and the earthquake,
for his best friend, Death. It is in accord
ance with the physical and moral nature Of
man that be should die, and in both in
stances death is benefaction, purifying
from corruption, arresting decay, reproduc-
ing life, and lifting the curtain TINT hides the
unseen world from our eyes,-that curtain
We are all the time trying to remove, and yet
with singular inconsistency sedulously striv-
ing to shun the only friend who can draw it
aside.

The Philadelphia 1Tmes, commenting on the
fact that the decision that the $500 900 loaned
to the Centennial Exposition Company must be
repaid: says that this is q severe blow to The
permanent Exposition Company, whose capital
consisted Of shares of the old Company's stock,
which was rated at so per cent OF its face

The stand assumed by Turkey in it's en-
phstic refusal to accept the Protocol and its
defiance of the European Powers would
seem to be the breaking down Of tho last
barrier between the colliding nations and
war. In insisting upon the prosecution of q
line OF action deprecated by the other Gov.
crnments, the Porte virtually declares for
battle, and, bound as they are BY the Protocol
the other nations must stand a1oof wh;1a
Turkey and Russia contend, the ona
tor existence and the other for supremacy
The language of Turkeys note is sham and
the expression Of the Porte's views unm;s.
taxable. 1t states in very fo1cible te,ns
that the recent disturbances within the
Turkish borders hare been instigated bv
e1te1na1 influences, leaving very plain in
ference that Russia is to ba held responsible
for the troubles.

The business downfall Of man honored
IN society and admired in the commercial
circles he has adorned carries with it a les.
son that oommends itself to thinking men.
Mr. JoHx F. TRACY, late President Of the
Chicago, Rock Island 4 Pacific Road, vas
looked upon, up to short time ago, as a
man almost financially infalIble. He was
millionaire, and one whose influence was felt
md respected But suddenly his judgment
appeared to fail him, and be plunged
into reckless schemes of speculation
that have finally stripped him Of his wealth
and seriously impaired his reason. By some
wonderful combination Of unfortunate selec-
tons, everything he touched involved him
deeper in financial distress, until he went
into Wa1l-street pool, when his sorrows
in the almost complete wreck of
bis property, leaving him shattered in
, 1877-04-15

health, spirits, and fortune. If his fate shall
teach men to hesitate and consider before
embarking upon the dangerous streams and
currents of Wall-street life, perhaps
Mr. TRACY may not have suffered in vain.
The spirit Of the age-the passion for the
sudden accumulation of millions by the
manipulation Of the fortunes of other men--
is deeply imbedded in the generation, and it
may demand violent revolutions and ru1nous
explosions to eradicate the Seeds But such
cruptions, though they prove deadly to those
who invite them, will be beneficial in the
moral they point, if men profit bY the ex-
perience of their unfortunate neighbors, and
ponder well before entering upon projects
the miscarriage Of which involves unmerciful
disaster md utter ruin.

After the burning of the Brooklyn Thea
tre, Chicago made q vast amount of noisa
With great deal Of wind over an inspection
Of the theatres here. An interview with +ha
Building Inspector shows TINT no reforms
were made, save in one or two cases, in CON-
pllnnce with his instructions; and that, while
he has unlimited sway in the matter of in
vestignting and instruction, he has no power
to enforce needed changes in theatres in

The withdrawal by the President Of the
United States troops from Sitka, Alaska,
seems to be overlooked by his opponents.
Yet how can the people in that country sus-
tain themselves without the troops? There
will not be carpet-bagger in all Alaska in
SIX months if the soldiers are removed; and
the fat contracts, which resulted from their
occupancy, cease to afford sustenance to the
men who have endured SO much to uphold
the "o1d flag " in that country. Their des-
tiny will be sealed fur-ever..

PATTERSON is the name of one of the two
gentlemen who represent South Carolina in
the United States Senate. He may be called
the nonresident Senator. It is because he
does not reside in the State, probably, that
he has determined to find fault with Presi-
dent HAYES for adopting policy which has
led to the pacifcation Of South Carolina.
If it we're not for PATTERSON, We should
hear no more about South Caro-
lima matters that State would re-
lapse into about the Same sort of
quiescent condition as Arkansas, if there
we're no PATTERSON to yawp about it. Even
CHAsnER1A1S, having quietly withdrawn
when there were no troops to sustain him,
has nothing more to say. PARKINSON has
not been able to make up his mind for more
than one day at time what course he would
take. He began BY abusing the President
and announcing his intention to act with the
Democrats Then it Was reported that he
sought the President to give him assurances
of his most profound consideration and
hearty approval And now PATTERSON turns
up again in Washington newspaper of
yesterday as malcontent The fact is that
PArTEnsoS's opinions are of very little con-
sequence in this affair. No one ever heard
Of him before he procured his election to the
Unites States Senate by ways which are said
To have been dark and tricks that were not
in vain. Nobody has heard of him since his
election, till the recent change in the con-
1ltion Of South Carolina affairs, which PROM
ses to consign PArrERsoS to an obscurity
from which he never should have emerged. |

elements Of civilized government Her Owl
people have degenerated; they are hopeless
1y ignorant; they are as fanatical and intol
Grant as ever; they have spurned education
IS effeminate, and have cultivated the most
implacab1e hatred of all other peoples. They
have borrowed immense sums Of money
from the British, which they have expended
for Notifications and on navy, which
debt they now repudiate. The events in
Crete ten years ago and in Bulgaria last year
show that the Turk is the same ferocious
and implacable monster he has ever been,
and that there can be no peace and no
humanity, no civilization and no agreement,
between him and the Christian subjects who
are under his dominion. There can be but
one de1iverance for these unfortunate peo-
pie, and that is to e1pe1 the Turk from Eu-
rope. He has no place in European civ1liza-
ton. His Government is reproach to hu-
man;ty, and one for which England is deeply
because Of the long probation
she has given, and which her Government
even now is most reluctant to abandon.
In the war which Russia is about to pre-
cipitate upon the Turks mankind will gen
orally sympathize with Russia. She asks no
mid; she merely asks that neutrality which
will 1eave her to deal in behalf of the Euro
pean Christian States with their Turkish des-
pot. Her cause will not only be that of
iberty,-of the personal freedom Of the
Slavic and Greek States and provinces,-but
he cause of humanity. She will deliver
hese millions Of people from slavery such
s has not existed elsewhere in modern ages,
a slavery such as might be imagined if the
ayages on our frontiers should be made rul- |
rs of the white race. That the war will be |
neof greatmagnitude, there can be no doubt;
hat it will be short one, decisive one,
nd a final one as to the further existence of |
ae Turk in Europe, should be the hope Of all !
lends Of civilization and peace.

HICKEY bill was rather owing to these defects
than to purpose to prevent the people of
Cook County from getting rid Of the Ring.
At the Same time, there are Indications Of an
effort to give the question partisan aspect,
| which it has not as matter of fact. All
the votes against the bill except about half q
dozen were Democratic votes. It is to be
hoped the same spirit will not prevail among
the Democratic members of the House
/ when the ROBINSON bill comes to them from
the Senate. Though it is true that the
County Ring consists mostly Of Democrats,
its members p1under Democratic taxpayers
as mercilessly Us they plunder Republican
taxpayers; no distinction is made on &C.
count Of politics. Nor is the move
ment to break bown the Ring
Republican movement; it is backed by
the better element of the Dempcrntio party
in this community as well as the Republican
party. If Mr. R. E. GooDz11, who was for
merly GOWNS Chief of Police, and who
seems to have accepted the Springfield
agency Of the Cook County Ring, has made
any other representations to Democratic
members, he has belied and maligned the
respectable Democrats of Cook County.
The best proof that it is in no sense a party |
matter may be found in the fact that the
entire Cook County delegation, with 3 single |
exception, are in favor of reorganization of |
the Board; the delegation is composed in |
part of Democrats and in part of Republic
ans, and they would scarcely unite in this
matter If it were question Of party adyan-
tago on either side.
The simple fact is that the taxpayers of
Cook County have appealed to the Legisla-
ture without respect to party differences to
free them from the plunder Of the Coun-
y Ring. There is no way to escape
from the tolls except by interference
of the Legislature. The present law author
zes the choice of only five COMMISSIONER
'ne-third of the Board-each year, 30 that it
S simply impossible to dislodge the Ring,
en- holding over and either debating the
:hoice Of the other Eve, or overriding them
IS small minority. The taxpayers of Cook
;ounty have found this out, and in their
lelplessness scarcely take the pains to op-
'ose the bummers in the annual election of
ne-thlrd the Board What is asked is the ;
riviege of electing an entire new Board
nd starting over, and then the taxpayers are =
ontident they can protect themselves Nr. !,
'oBNsoS's senate bill offers this opportuni- =
7, and it should not be defeated On the mis-
presentation of man like GooDK11 TINT it J
Ill give the Republican party an advantage.
bis is false, and Goopz11, in making such - :,
presentations to influence the Democratic u
embers Of the Legislature, does not speak y y
the interest Of the Cook County Demo- :,
ats, but in the interest of q vi1lainous ..
ing, which is engaged in plundering Demo- ., .,
ats and Republicans alike. -
