sherman Must Come Down
TCincinnati Enquirer.


WASHINGTON. May 21.-The Daily Ma
tion, OF this city, which, with Secretary
Dick Thompson, some weeks ago en-
deavored to resuscitate the old Whig
patty, has a leading editorial to-day,
demanding the removal Of Secretary
Sherman. 1t says:
= The condition Of business Is too pre-
carious to admit OF further trifiing.
During the past year, under the action
Of Mr.. Sherman's ideas. the number of
bankruptcies was greater than in any
other year since the formation OF the
government. All classes and condi-
tions OF people went by the board, and.
instead Of getting better. the trouble is
hourly increasing. It Is evident that
the Secretary is too firmly founded in
his opinions ever to change, even when,
as in the case of the RECOMMENDATION of
silver, he stands almost alone in opposi-
ton to the nearly unanimous public
sentiment. He Is too sincere man to
yield when uneonvinced; and with that
firm, iron will for which his family are
noted, he proposes going ahead with his
financial scheme, even though the
heavens fall. The time has arrived
when President Hayes must recognize
that the financial condition of the coun-
try is the great question with which his
administration will have to deal. He
must recognize further. that the present
Secretary OF the Treasury totally mis-
represents the popular will. There is no
other hope for return to prosperity
than through the careful management
or the government. Secretary Sherman

THE OPPOSITION I'm OHIO.
Not Over 1000 Kicking Republicans In
Ohio.
IN. Y. T'imes.1

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Gov. Young
had a protracted interview yesterday
with the President, which comprised
several subjects OF general interest.
The President was greatly surprised
at the Governors assurance that there
are probably not more than a
thousand Republicans, all told, in
the State OF Ohio who are op-
posed to his Southern policy IL it
Is success, that is, II the Southern peo-
pie show proper appreciation OF and
reciprocate the efforts Of the President
to restore tranquility. In the course of
the interview the President expressed
himself quite forcibly against the prac-
tice Of Federal officials having to do
personally with the machinery OF poll
tics. He said that it was proper that
these officials should vote, speak II oc-
casion demanded, and contribute finan-
cially as they felt able and justified 10
aid of the cause. But he did not think
1t proper for them to engage actively In
the management OF the party, such as
running conventions, caucuses, etc.

IN. Y. Wor.d.l
It has Just come to light that in 1866
the newly inducted Charles OF Hohen-
zollern. DomDitor Prince of Roumania,
rendered to Gen. p. G.. T. Beauregsrd,
then living In Paris, the command Of
his armies, with the rank Of Field Mar
shall, a complete outfit and 100000 a
year pay. Gen. Beauregard was to be
at liberty to select his own staff and
certain other officers. and to designate
their rank. 1t was promised that
the army should be kept q mini
mum Of 100000 men. The General,
however, declined the offer and re-
turned to New Orleans. where he now
is. He has written q letter, under date
Of May 10. in which he refers to this
with the Turks, because they are the
weaker party and are defending their
homes and firesides.' As to the pre-
text of war" the protection of the
Christians "-he says: 1t reminds me
Of the complaint Of the wolf drinking at
the same spring with the lamb" Gen.
Beauregard adds: "Turkey offers mag

The Debate I'm the Turkish Parliament

The Debate I'm the Turkish Parliament
The meeting OF the Turkish Parlia-
ment is likely to prove an experiment
in language. The London AthenBunz
says: It is we'll known that the Turks,
like the Magyars, the Greeks and the
Romans, have worked up an oratoricaI
and artificial language which is quite
d stinct from the popular dialects. It.
was with some question how far the
Anatolian dialect, almost Turki. would
get on beside the highly. wrought Stam-
bulu, with its infusion Of Persian and
Arabic. It is, however, stated that the
country members speak freely. This is
attributable to two causes. The first is
that Turks Of all ranks are in the habit
of stating case concisely before an
official or @ tribunal, as advocates were
not formerly tolerated. The more i'm
mediate cause is that Fuad and Ali Pa
shas began ia early life reform In the
language, with view to increasing its
area and power. They encouraged plain
Turkish, and discouraged the grand
style. So the officials have learned to
discard their stilted phraseology and to
speak plainly,

FORT CUSTER.
Cemetery To BE Established at the

N 10
WASHINGTON, May 20.-Lieut. Gen.
Sheridan proposes to send an expedi-
ton to the scene Of Gen. Custer's fight
with Sitting Bull, for the purpose OF re-
moving the remains Of the gallant band
who were massacred upon that occasion,
and giving them burial with proper mil
itary honers ut such point as may be
designated by the War Department.
Gen. Crittenden, whose son fell in the
fight, objects to the removal, and has
written letter asking that the remains
of the heroic band be permitted to rest
where they are now inferred, that they
may signaliza, for all time, the spot
in his letter says: ''There can be no
filter resting place for the true soldier
than the spot which his blood has hal
lowed. It would be vandalism to dig
up and scatter widely the bones Of those
men who have been buried, as they
died, shoulder to shoulder. They all
perished together, fighting without
hope, and the comradeship thus ce-
mented should never be sundered. !"

are signs OF a breaking out Of the
women's temperance crusade, after the
Ohio fashion of two years ago, ir west

created sensation in Northampton at
the saloon of Fallair, where they read
several chapters of the Bible and prayed
and sang. A large crowd was soon
attracted, but the saloon keeper took
matters very coolly, and invited them to
call again. They asked him to sign the
pledge, but he refused.

are shown by the result Of a special
election in Chester county. on Monday,
for State Senator. Gen. W. A. Walker,
Democrat, was elected by 1000 majority

Gratis also carried Fairfield county at
