sideration Of the withdrawal of the
English fleet in the sea Of Mar.
mora to a distance OF forty miles
north Of Constantinople, the Rus

suburbs Of the city has been raised
and the troups have fallen back

able that this will continue to be
the situation until a treaty between
Russia and Turkey shall have been
consummated, which will besubject.

By REouEsl.-The Milwaukee
Sentinel, which has not failed TO OBJ
serve the course Of Congressman
Hazelton on the dishonest silver dol
lar scheme for the benefit OF the Sill
yer-mlne owners and spectators,
thus calls attention to Il speech OF
Georges, published by special re-
request from Washinton: "By
special request from " ashington is
published elsewhere in this issue the
speech of Congressman Hazelton, of
Wisconsin, on the death of Oliver
Is. Morton. The speech is a good
one, and we yiell more readily to
the requests OF Mr.. llazelton's friend
because it attests the capacity Of
the orator for defamation on q dead
subject, and in the hope that he may
be encouraged 10 speak and act on
the live subjects OF the day before
the close of his congressional career.
Mr.. Uazelton's constituents might,
perhaps, have survived his silence as
to the life and public services OF
Senator Morton, which, as he tells
us, will live till the evening star
shall fade away We commend TO
Mr.. Hazelton's consideration the
propriety Of a speech in behalf OF
his constituents in favor of those
principles of the Republican party
that demand national piece, 4 luriii.

the erection Of buildings, repairs,
etc., which will involve All expense
Of $4,000 to 100000. Had the
people thought Of this when the
amendment was before them, its
adoption would have been more
than doubtful.
There are indications that the
two Associate Justices to be elected
next spring election, will be chosen
by agreement of the Republican
and Democratic central committees,
one from each party. The lawyers
named for preferment are numer-
Gus. Among Republicans, Hon. L.
f. Frisbie, of Washington county,
Judge Taylor, of Fond du Lac, and
VIM. E. Carter, of Grant are most
frequently mentioned; while Geo.
B. Smith, S. U. Pinney and M. NJ
Cothren seem most prominent
among the Democrats. We hope
neither Taylor nor Smith will be
selected. To either of the others
there seems to be no serious OBJ
lection.
Mr.. Francis Baker, of Linden, is
spending a few days in the city, land
has favored We editor with a call.
We hope all friends of the TRIBUNE
who come to Madison during our
stay will follow his example.

A QUESTION of some considerable
interest to the Administration and
the South is this: evil the Mich.
coils Government inLouisianaredeem
''its solemn pledge to the Presi
"dent to cease the prosecution OF
"Republicans, by pardoning Gener-
sal Anderson, the member Of the re-
turning Board, who has been con.
"victed of crime by packed jury OF
"bull dosers!'' The answer will
probably determine the fate of the
present policy of the Administration
towards the Southern States, and
the future value Of their politica
promises.

money. If he will make such
speech The Sentinel will be glad to
publish it without solicitation, even
if it isn't ELECTRICALLY brilliant"
France and the War Question.

According to one report, France
does not seem disposed to join in a
general European war, if one should
occur. At least it declined Eng
lands invitation to be represented by
a feet in the Bosphorus.
If the French nation were to
take part in general war, it would
be compelled by the logic of circum-
stances to be on the same side as
England, and that not because it is
particularly friendly to its neighbor
across the channel, but because Ger
many would be on the other side.
Austria and Great Britain are genu-
inc friends, and consequently Ger
many would be on the Russian side.
Of course France could not be allied
with her bitterest foe. That would
be out of the question. Perhaps
the hope Of humilating Germany
might induce her to 60 into the
fight, if it becomes an accomplished
fact, but it is probable that her poll
cy will be to stand back, and in
company with the United States,
reap the advantages of the war
without participating in it.
| At the present time France is the
most prosperous nation in Europe,
and, we may add, on the globe. The
French people feel the hard times
less than any other business. They
are thrifty. The enormous indem-
nifty fund which Germany exacted
imposed no burdens on them. On
the contrary, it induced them to
bring from its hiding-places the sur
plus money Of the country. 1t was
transferred from old stockings,
chests and the like to the exchequer
of Germany, passing the national
exchequer in transit, and the result
was that, instead of unproductive
coin, the people had interest-bearng
bon DIS. The money required to pay
the interest is raised, mainly, by in
direct taxation, very much Of which
is not only unfelt as burden, but
positively beneficial as protection
to home industry.
There is really no good reason
why France should be mixed up
with the Wars Of Europe. In no
event is she in danger Of further
territorial loss. The other Govern
mcnts are monarchies; the French
Government is republic. 1t can
put its men to better use than to
kill them off, and it is probable that
in no event will the French nation
be drawn into the war as an sailed
Power on either side, but rather
allow the Turkish question to be set.

CAPITAL NOTES.
MADISON, VIZ, February Is, |


well it was, for the rate bills, reso-
lutions, ETC., poured in up to the
time limited was terrible as the ad-
vance of ali army with banners.
Of course the great mass of these
matters will never get beyond the
committees. but still we apprehend
enough will get through to place
the present Legislature on a par
with any other for doing much that
had better been never done.
The bill authorizing the Govern
or to purchase the library, instru-
ments and geological specimens of
the late Moses Strong, for the ben
eft of the State, has been defeated
by the Assembly. If there were
hope that all propositions for invest
ment of State money would meet a
like fate, we could not regret the
disposition Of this bill, but many
thousands Of dollars will be appro-
priated for things of less utility
and merit.
Governor Washbnrn's profered
gift of his beautiful Edgewood Farm,
as home for friendlcss and unfor-
tunate girls, will be rejected by the
Legislature on the ground that the
State does not need, and can't at
ford to establish such an institution
as acceptance of the property would
involve.
A bill fixing the salary of mem
bers Of County Boards at $500 per
day, instead of two, has been sum.
marily killed; but another, making
county, town, and school district
treasurers ineligible for two or more
successive terms, has a much strong
cr backing. The object Of the bill
is understood to be to get some
treasurers out of office whom the
people insist on keeping in-like
Chris. Kessler, for instance but
whose places some other fellows
want. The bill wont become law
this winter
The School.book bill is passive as
yet, but is expected to create stir
before the session closes. 1t is in
comprehensive to us why any one
except the printers and people of
Madison should give this counte.
nance sufficient TO permit its being
heard of again. 1t is some COM
fort, however, TO believe that its
following this year will be less than
last. In view Of which, it seems
unnecessary to bore our readers
with further reference to it at
present.
AS usual, the various sectarian
and charitable institutions Of Mil
wauEee are asking appropriations
from the Legislature, with n pros
nect Of the usual success, notwith-
standing the determined opposition
OF a few men of moral courage,
and the conviction of a large ma
