THE PRESIDENT And TIE SENATE.

TILE PEENIUENI HND IIfE OIN4 II.
The disposition of Republican Senators to
get acquainted with President Hayes before
quarrellng with him is a pretty good sign that
there will be no quarrel. That genial philoso-
pher Charles Lamb, astOnished a friend on
one occasion by exclaiming, at the incidental
mention in conversation Of the name of third
person, al hate that man." But" said his
friend. "you don't know him." know himw
returned Lamb; "Of course | don't. If | did,
81 shouldn't hate him." There was profound
philosophy in the remark. Nine-tenths OF the
trouble in this world, resulting from disagree
ments and quarrels, could be prevented or
healed if only the parties to the dispute would
meet and know each other More than half
the social and domestic discord in cOmmu
mites and families grows out of mutual mis-
understanding and is fed by prejudice, jeal-
ousv, and distrust, where it might all be
removed by a social meeting and a little
free and candid talk. Political differences
and Guarrcs between public men are easily
engendered, and are generally more difficult
of adjustment than those of private nature.
This for the reason that men in public
life have high notions about the dig
nitv that hedges them, and are very
sensitive about seeming to unbend their
greatness. or to acknowledge their falliblty.
1t Is a thoroughly false notion, however,
that a public man sacrifices either his own
consistency or dignity, or the esteem and
confidence of his fellow men, by aclmOw-
lodging his liability to error and frankly
avOwing his opennesS to conviction. The people
are not deceived by the pretence of infalh-
bility, however stubbOrnly insisted Oh on the
contrary, they yield their highest honor and
admiration to the leader who impTesses them
most with his frankness a8d sincerity, and his
willingness to listen to the opinions of others.
Such a leader was Mr.. Lincoln, and, until MIR.
Hayes we have had no President like him in
this regard. President Hayes seems so far to
have impressed the public with his resem-
blance to Mr.. Lincoln in this particular.
This quality in his disposition has given TIE
TRIBUNE encouragement to hope that, nOtwith-
standing the apparently wide differences of
opipion between the President and Republican
Senator'S there would be no rupture between
them upon any important question. 1t would
have been easy, Notwithstanding the Pres
ident's good nature, for Senators to have
stood upon their dignity, and having
taken offence at some features of his Admin
istrative policy. to have held aloof from his
councils and his confidence, and 50 have mag
niRed the difficulty. The course advised by
TIE TRIBUNE has. We are confident, already

RTSINESS IND EINANCF.

The reported changes in the condition of
the New York banks last week were not very
important, but are encouraging because there
was some reason to anticipate important
changes of an unfavorable character. The
large increase of deposits, amounting to 3d.
944, 200, with the increase of $124,70O in
circulation. are far from balanced by the in
crease reported in legal-tenders of 1919, 800,
in specie of 5000, 800 and in loans of S31O.-
600. Two explanations are possible the
" average" system of reporting may have rem
dered the statement very deceptive, or the
banks may have received over S1,157, 900 in
National bank notes, in excess of amounts
paid out. 1t is supposed that the latter ex-
PLANTATION covers the greater part of the dis
crepancy. But is it not time for the Clearing
House banks to consider the propriety of max
ing statements more useful to themselves and
others2 The banks of Boston and Phadel-
phia do not hesitate to publish weekly state
ments of the bank notes on hand. Can any rea-
son be given why the New Y ork banks should not
do the same Unquestionably it would ma
terially strengthen them, in any time of pres
sure. For it IS known to every one that there
is never any pressure for redemption of bank
notes, for they are actually worth more than
legal-tenders, and they serve the same purpose
as the lega-tenders for many uses. 1t is well
to distinguish the two, but it seems clearly not
to the advantage of the banks to represent
their actual resources, for ordinary uses, as
several millions less than they really are.
With a change in this respect, and with re-
port of actual condition on some fixed day, the
banks would be very much less exposed to
distrust.

satisfy the reasonable demands of Russia.
With such slender fruits of victory the Gar
could not justify the war to the Russian people.
He must make an important change IN the
map OF Eastern Europe, or the campaign VIII
be a costly failure. There is good deal OF
force in this reasoning. 1t can scarcely be sup
posed that the Gar has sacrificed the lives of
over hundred thousand of his subjects for the
sake of securing few reforms in the internal
administration of Turkish province.
Recent wars in Europe. it should be remem-
bered. have been followed by important terri
torial changes which were brought about by
an arrangement between the yict0rs and the
yanoulshed, while the neutral Powers that
were expected to interfere looked on with
folded arms. The Schleswig HOstein war
cost Denmark her two richest provinces; the
Austro-Prussian war crowded Austria out OF
the German Bund and lost her all of her
Italian possessions that she had been able to
retain after her contest with France; and the
Franco-P rrlssian war gave Alsace and Lorraine
to United Germany. In every case 1t was
hoped that England or some other Great
Power would intervene. bus no help came
to the conquered nation. There are no signs
aid. If they should be driven across the Bal
kans, and the Russians should threaten Con-
stantinOple, it is probable that England would
move in time to save the B0sphorus and the
Dardanelles from the command of MuscOvite
guns. But what then 2 What is to be done
with the Ottoman domains This is q ques
ton which is being discussed with good deal
of earnestness in the capitals of Western Eu-
rope. Evidently the Gar will keep all he
gains in Armenia. for no Power will be likely
to send an army into that distant and rugged
region TO drive out his victorious forces. No
body seems to think, however, that the West
tern Powers will consent to Russian domina-
ton in European Turkey. SpCculatiOns as TO
the result Of complete overthrow of the OF
toman Empire take many forms, but
none of them picture second Russian
capital on the banks of the Golden Horn
One theory is that a Christian empire will be
established under the guarantee of the Pow
ers. with Prince Charles. Of R0umania, on the
throne-or perhaps an English Prince. An
other is that the Sultan will be allowed to re-
tain COnstantinOple and the ROumelian terri
tory. and that the rest of his European do
minions will be parcellcd ont between Greece,
Montenegro, Servia and Roumania. Before
pursuing these speculatons so far as to dis
cuss their details and probabilities. it will be
wise to wait until Plevna falls and the Turks
are driven back from the line of the LON.
There will be time enough when Russia is
undisputed master north OF the Balkans to
consider what is likely to happen when her
armies cross the mountains.

PVSSI4 TRIU.UPHANT.

The capture of Kars, now, just at the be-
ginning of the Armenian Winter, is an ines
timable advantage to Russia. Ii is the loss to
Turkey, not only of munitions Of war which
she cannot easily replace, and the services of
$1,000 men, killed, wounded, and prisoners,
but also of Erzerum and all Armenia. Cen
era Mclikoi17s army is released to join Cen
era Heymann's, and with this prcponderance
OF strength the capital cannot be long held.
The details OF the stormng of the kanli re-
doubt and the KaraDagh fortress illustrate
the splendid bravery of the Russian soldiers
10 less than the improved military science of
the commanders. Though flushed by the
pride of such a victory, and perhaps little
inclined to undervalue the desperate defensive
energy of the Turks it is not likely that the
Russian generals will be guilty of any blum
ders serious enough to change the fate of the
campaign. In very short time they will
possess Armenia.
In Bulgaria, despite some minor checks in
the region west of Pevna, the Russians are
steadily gaining ground The inactivity of
the Turkish generals is difficult to be ex-
planned by any other reason than their pow
erlcssness. All is quiet along the Lom Chev-
ket Pasha makes fewer and feebler attempts
to break the Gordon closing around Pleyna
we hear nothing from the Shipka Pass, nor,
indeed, of movement in any direction ind-
cative of new defensive strategy in case
Pleyna falls. The fact that the Russians are
repulsed, at this or the other point, does not
interfere with the accomplishment of their one
great object. With the capture of Plevna and
Osman Pasha's army. the line of the Danube
Is practically lost to Turkey. She will gain
nothing by holding on to Widdin, Rustchuk,
and Silstna, when every soldier and every
gun is needed for the passes of the Balkan.
Russia is resolutely bent if not on closing the
WAL at least upon making its result certain to
the world, before the Winter fairly sets i'll.
She has succeeded in Armenia; and there is
every probability that she will succeed in Bull

Good intentions rarely count for much in pol
itics, any more than in theology. But one Of
the early intentions Of the President was so
good that we are anxious his Administration
should have the credit of it. The story is
told in the following letter, of which we have
procured an authentic copy from Washington ::

Justified in declining to upon foreign mission in

persuaded that can be Of greater service and

deepest sense of tie Presidents kindness and Of your

1t has not always been clear that Mr.. Curtis
is wise political guide at home, or that he
has in him any of the elements for popular
political leadership. In fact, we hold him
largely responsible for many of those excuses
of Grantism, whose dcplOrable consequences he
has since been manfully, but too late, attempt
ing to combat But there can be no doubt
of the grace and dignity with which he would
have discharged the foreign duties to which
Mr.. Evarts wisely invited him. He first met
the President in May last, in this city, at the
unveing of the Halleck statue; and it will b.
seen from the date of the above letter, that the
good impressions of the first meeting rapidly
ripcned into an offer as creditable to the Ad-
ministratiOn as to Mr.. Curtis himself.
