The Berlin Discussion.

According to the Berlin correspond
ents, who catch the chit-chat about the
doings of the dignitaries in the Radzi-
will Palace, there does not appear the
slightest probability that Beaconsfield
intends to adhere to his former policy of
propping up the Porte. To be sure he
told Bismarck that he did not come to
Berlin to yield; but he has already yield
ed, in very pronounced manner, to the
Eastern situation thrust upon Europe by
Russia. The abandonment of the policy
of non-interference in Turkish affairs is
the distinguishing feature of Beacons-
fields present policy, and the disposition
of the territory which lay at the mercy
of the Car after the war, shows that
what England declined to do in 1875,
when Andrassy proposed an European
Commission to regulate the Porte's
provinces, and what she declined to do,
after the Constantinople Conference (of
which she was a member) proposed the
occupation of the territory of the Sui
tan's feudatories by mixed European
troops to secure justice for the Chris
tians, England now agrees to, besides
reducing the Sultan's suzeralnty to a
mere name.
Russian influence will extend to the
Balkans. Turkish influence south of the
Balkans is to be superseded by European
influence. The Sultan looking out of
the windows of the Yordiz Kiosk at Con-
stantinople beneath him; the Sea of
Marmora and the Asiatic hills stretching
away to the south and east; the plains of
Thrace on the west; the forest of Bel
grade, the silvery threading of the Bos-
phorus and the shadows of the mountains
overhanging the Black Sea on the north,
with this grand panorama before him,
Abdul Hamid can only reflect how it is
all slipping from the Ottoman grasp,
and how the power which most persist
emily backed Turkish territorial integri-
ty in the past is now among the fore
most to declare, by word and act, that
the Moslem game in Europe is played.
That is the aspect of the case as far as
can be gathered from Berlin briefs.
Russia ought to be satisfied with the
Bulgarian Boundary at the Balkans.
That Epirus, Thessaly and Crete, and
the part of Macedonia which is Greek,
will be added to the Kingdom of Greece,
Notwithstanding the Turkish protest, is
reasonably certain. If it is not done
now by the Powers, the Greeks will
walk over and take the territory they
have so long claimed themselves. In
all these southern Turkish provinces
there are Sclavs, but the Greeks pre-
pondcrate. They want the national
frontier, which was denied them in 1882
by the Powers. To have a national
frontier they must make their northern
boundary as high up as Philippopolis
1t is to get a national boundary that
Greece demanded voice at the Berlin
Congress. 1t will be the quintessence
of meanness if the Powers obstruct her

Illinois Republican Platform.

Tho delegates and representatives Of the
Republican party of the State of Illinois In
convention assembled do hereby declare:
/. Our unfaltering faith in the principles
and patriotism of the Republican party,
State and national, and IN its permanent Mt
ness and ability over all other parties to ad.
minister the government OF both state ana
nation wisely and successfully.
2. That the Democratic party, being largely
composed of recent rebels and their sympa-
administration of the affairs of Government; /;
that the partial success OF that party IN Con-
gress, as well as In several of the states, only
shows its grossly partisan character and gen
eral incapacity, and lack of honor and patri-
otism. .
Republican party during the war. and in
spite of the violent opposition OF the Demo
cratic party, we express our unqualined al.
miration. BY its provisions the people have
been supplied with larger amount of paper
currency, safer and more uniform In value,
than they have ever before enjoyed; the
while both the principal and interest OF the
public debt, as well as the burdens of nation
al taxation, have been steadily diminished.
such results can only be produced by hon
esty, economy and wisdom in the manage
ment of financial affairs.
4. We are also opposed to any further con-
traction of the greenback currency, and are
in favor of such currency as can be mann
tanned at par with, and convertible into, com
at the will of the holder; we are In favor oil
such currency being received Tor import uu-
ties, and we deprecate the defeat OF the re-
cent bill for that purpose by the Democratic
House OF Representatives.
5. The permanent pacification of the South
ern section of the Union, and the complete
protection of all its citizens in all their civil,
political, personal and property rights, Is a
duty to which the party stands sacredly
pledged. In order to redeem this pledge II
placed the recent amendments In the Consti-
tuition of the United States, and upon the
righteous basis of said amendments 1t Will
go forward in the work OF paeificatiGn i until nth
peace shall come through right doing ana
contentment through justice.
G. That the criminal code should be amend
ed for the protection of depositors in savings
panks, by providing for the punishment oil
dishonest bank managers.
Z. Finally, be it resolved, We believe that
those who preserved the country should
govern It, instead of those who attempted to
destroy IL.

The Late Queen of Spain.

So far as the political part of the Con-
stitution is concerned, the King had
said manfully enough, when that instru-
ment was drafted, that is entirely in the
hands of the nation, but in any thing
affecting my marriage | can admit no
interference. From childhood he had
called his cousin his "little wife;" to
obtain his own opportunity for declara-
ton he had run away in the most de-
lightful manner with her in state car
riage, leaving bribed coachman, sur
prised duenna, and a scared and scan
dalized family circle behind at the door.
Your father-in-law is the most unpopu-
lar man in Spain, one Councillor had
said. But am not marrying him, re-
turned the King, wittily. 1t was
not long ere all difficulties were sur
mounted. The brides wealthy father
bought off the Princess of Asturia's OPP
position by paying her debts; Queen
Isabella threatened a scene, but was
packed+over the Pyrenees by Canovas
del Castillo, as if she had been Marie de
Medici and he Richelieu. When she
went to the Pope to complain, his only
reply to her prayer that he would refuse
the dispensation permitting the cousins
to marry was to send them his blessing,
two consecrated rings and a diamond
rose. During the brief interval preced-
ing their wedding, the royal lovers
whispered to each other through the
telephone. Thus to CASTLE and Leon
Edison gave new and fairer world. On
the 23d of January last, in the historical
little Church of the Virgin of Atocha,
they were married by Cardinal Bena-
vides Navarette, in the presence of a
splendid and distinguished audience,
and with ceremonies and popular re-
joicings described at length in our col
umns then, which reached the brightest
historic days of heroic Spain. A corre-
spondent who saw them a few days
afterward described them as unaffected
ly and unconcealedly happy, and said
that at every pause the young Kings
eyes turned lovingly and proudly upon
his pretty and blushing young Queen
wife, as he called her. This was the
last glimpse which the newspaper-read-
ing public has had of the lovely young
girl, whose death, in the month of
roses, is announced.
