The suffocation of seven men in a Pennsvl-

Constantnople letter gives picturesque
account of the condition of affairs in the Turk

instance. The arrival Ofthe Egyptian contingent
is the subject of an interesting description.
There is every reason to expect good result
from the interchange of opinions which must
have resulted from the assembage of cotton
dealers at Liverpool. Both in this country and
Europe the condition of each branch of the
cotton industry affords ample scope for the
consideration of thoughtful, experienced men.
The moral of the failure of John II. Keyser,
If il has any moral at all, may be summed
ND in the axiom that money easily made, like
that which is wrongly got is as easily spent.
Keyser of late years made much money by
favor of the Ring, and he was in consequence
under such obligations to Ring men as have
now comprised his ruin.
Tn France Gambetta's journal has opened
fire upon Marshal MacMahOn, who has hlth-

that made MacMahon an irresponsible agent,
carving out the designs of shrewder men.
Although untitled for civic duties, he has suf-
fcent capacity and opportunity to be danger

The recent disclosures in THE TRIBUNE OF
the double aduteration of liquors. by the Inn
norter "a well as by the retail dealer, have
evoked protest from prominent importers,
which is given elsewhere. Further lnvestiga-
tion shows. however that, except in one partl-
cular, the charges there made are sustained
and this charge needed only to be modIhed
with the statement that while many importers
were guilty of adulterating liquors, some were
not.
Something at least is gained by Corporation

OF the moderation and fairness of the adj
dress OF the Republican State Committee of
Mississippi, it is scarcely possible to say too
much. In spite of some little Southern luxu-
rance of rhetoric, it is a document that VIII
make a powerful appeal to the cool and criti-
cal men of the North, who believe, whatever
their politics may be, in fair play between
parties, and, above all things, in giving the
majority a chance-sOmething which the ma
jority does not have in Mississippi Though
smarting under an oppression which Is the
more hateful because it has been established
in accordance with all the forms of free
dom, the Republicans of Mississippi refrain,
to use their own words, from sullen com
"pIairts or spiteful ordinations" and disband
with quiet dignity. But their determination
to abandon an unequal contest was known be-
fore; it is their liberal and unqualified APP
proval of President IIayes's Southern policy
that will attract most attention. 1t comes from
men who might be expected to feel some bit
terness on this subject, but it is nevertheless
enthusiastic and hearty. 1t cannot be said,
either. that it comes from lifeless organiza-
ton. which has ceased to care about its Opin-
ions and ceased to give them any weight.
This earnest recognition of the sincerity OF
President Hayess course was opposed by sew
eral members, one of them, at least, acting as
substitute for an oflicehOldeT but was
adopted, nevertheless. On the whole, NlissS-
spp may be set off against Iowa. And Mis-
sssppl knows what she is talking about.

The Russian official report places 1t beyond
doubt that the Armenian Army is in full retreat.
1t is conceded that the Left Wing was even
harrassed by the pursuing Turks, and that 1t
is marching on Bayazid, whence it set ont with
high expectations soon after the capture OF
that town. The retreat from Kars is, however,
the most humiiating consequence OF the re-
cent disasters. Without waiting for Mukhtar
Pasha to make the movement of which he was
apprised, Gen. Melikoff admits that he discon-
tinued the bombardment sent his siege artillery
to the frontier, and withdrew his infantry to
Zaim. This abandonment of all that has been
done toward the reduction of Kars cannot fail
to bring discredlt on the Russian arms, and
lower the Muscovte prestige throughout Asia.
The capture of Arabian and Bayazid-places
which made little or no reSlStance-wll be
deemed poor result for a campaign of nearly
three months, begun with the most brilliant
prospects. 1t is not too late in the year to
renew the conflict, but the Russians will hence
forth have to contend with an arrogant foe.

three months, will strengthen his vulnerable

1t was that appropriation for $4,000 to sup
port commission OF five entomologists, who
are TO Put their heads together for plan to
Kill grasshoppers. Not decent argument has
been advanced to prove that such commission
was necessary, or that such an amount OF mon
ey was needed to be fooled away in aiding five
scientific bug stickers to say what shall be done
with the locusts. The idea OF such commits
sion was so sarcial that at It's first suggestion
the Post made fun Of il. Ii has seen nothing
that would make il change its views. II the
President does not veto the bill we suppose the
entomologists will find plenty OF plans to con-
