EUROPE.IN DIPLOMACY.

The chatter Of diplomacy, which has been
running on for a fortnight, and which has
been repeated with unnecessary precision by
the press agents in their cable dispatches, has
fallen upon dull ears OH this side of the sea.
Americans have not the patience to worry
over the details, but prefer TO wait until they
can learn the results. We shall not attempt,
therefore, to give all the factors in this COM
plicated problem. but content ourselves with
reducing it to it's simplest terms. Great Britain
has undertaken to enforce the technical obliga-
tons of the last charter of European peace
the amended Treaty of Paris. In bis recent
Circular the Marquis Of Salisbury frankly con-
coded that the Government would willingly
have entered a Congress in which the stlpula-
tons of SaI Stefano could have been examined
as a whole IN their relations to existing
treaties. The British Government has made
it a point of honor that Russia shall admit the
jurisdiction of the Powers which signed the
Treaties of 1856 and 1871. The Court of St.
Petersburg. on the other hand, has considered
it beneath the dignity of belligerent, who
has conquered a peace just as Germany had
done at Sauowa and Sedan, to be subjected to
the discipline of the neutral powers. Now,
this is a point of dignity rather than point
of honor, and, despite the sensitiveness of the
nation, it is possible that in the end it will
be waived. The British Government will
not recede from its position. simply
because it has little, if anything, to
gam, If the Congress assemblies. Russia will
be more apt to fall back simply because she
has little. if anything, to lose, If the ambas-
sailors of the great Powers arc called together.
While she has little to lose she has much to
gain by securing the acquiescence of Europe
in the new conditions of government on the
Balkan peninsula and in Armenia. She stands

his investigations would be subscribed instantly by
Republicans for they would consider him cheap at
any price.
There is a little uneasiness among Eastern he
publicans because of tendency in Ohio to nom
mate Secretary Sherman for the Presidency. The
objection is that Ohio has had her share OF Repub-
lican hOnors. This nervousness seems TO be unwar-
ranted. The next Presidential campaign is long
way off yet, and when the time comes to pick our
the Republican leader the question VIII be, not

Congressman Williams, of Wisconsin, has pub-
shed letter in the newspapers Of his State dehn-
ing his political position. lie says he stands firmly
for old-fashIoned Republican principles, but does
not propose to step aside to quarrel with the Pres
dcnC or anyone else on doubtful issues or non-es-
sentals. That is q good platform, and rs the very
one the party shows signs OF mounting for the ran
elections There IS victory IN IL.
Speaker Randall showed an appreciation of the
damaging qualities of Glover when he took the
floor on Friday to make personal explanation.
He said it was the first time in his life he had ever
felt called upon TO make such an explanation, but
he wished to say he had made no suggestions to
Glover, In fact had had no communication with
him whatever He made this statement because he

Mr. Watterson has addressed another instructive
lecture to his brother Democrats. His admonitiOns
in this instance are drawn out by anxiety concern
ing the outcome of the Fall elections. He starts
out with the assurance that the Republicans will be
united Then he dips into the past long enough to
remark that the Democratic keynote of the last
Presidential campaign was Reform and that

POLITICAL NOTES.

only thing that will stop Glover.
The Democracy has nothing to show for two years
of anti-ResumptiOn croaking.
The Administrators platform was too venerable

already.

torous, and is not likely to go back on its good
record in the next campaign.
An itemized bill Of what Glover and Ewing have
cost the Government by their absurd smelling ex-
petitions would be mighty interesting reading just
now
The South Is said to be consolidating In favor of

form demanding the payment of unlimited Southern
claims, would make every Republican IN the land
dance for joy.

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.

Further investigation into the alleged "new
Custom House scandal" shows that it is GER
tainly not new, and Is possibly not a scandal
All the cases complained of occurred over
ten years ago. The whole system under which
the alleged irregularities arose has since been
changed. Nothing of the kind has or could have
occurred, under any recent administration of
the Custom House.
1t is possible that these old suits for the re-
funding of duties were based III some cases upon
protests improperly filed by attorneys after the
expiration of the time allowed for filing them
by law. If so, the Government would escape
on a technically. There seem to be little dis
pute that the equities Of the case, at any
rate, were generally with the merchants--that
they were overcharged, and that they are in
justice entitled to the money they are seeking

MORE PREMATURE PRESIDENCY.

Some of Secretary SheTman's friends are
selling upon his good management Of the National
finances as a why he should have the next Re
publican nomination for the Presidency. Mr.. Sherman

may be able t. find a candidate outside OF Ohio. The
ONO people 10 take for granted that that state
expected furnish Presidents and assistant Pres
dents nd lbum, but possibly the country could get
for term without drawing upon Ohio. And besides
all this, Mr. sherman is not yet through the financial
woods and II will be time enough for his friends 70
nominate MIN for President when he gets his preseu,
lob of his hands.
