anteed by the Treaty of Berlin, scenes
are enacted in Turkey that seem to dis
prove the assertion. How the self-as-
| sured Premier can see lasting peace in
the situation is more than the ordinary
mind can understand. With the Rho
dope i~nsurrectionists defying the Rus
slams, and declaring their intention of
fighting to the bitterest extreme; the
insurrectionists in Bosnia attacking
the incoming Austrian troops, and
their number increasing; the Governor
and Multi of Mostar assassinated;
Montenegrins joining insurgent armies
the Porte tardy in carrying the Berlin
Treaty into effect; England acquiring a
naval station quite neal the Dardanel-
les; and France getting Rhodes and
Scio; Italians desiring annexation, and
fomenting trouble in Turkey; the Porte
itself distributing arms to the Alban-
ians-we, repeat, if the Earl Of Beacons-
field can see lasting peace ahead, we'are
free to confess that he looks into the
future a vast distance farther than
THE LEADER.
The remedy, TO a statesman, may be
summary suppression. But we ask If
lasting peace is usually based upon mil
itary despo.ismp Indeed, it seems
that instead Of settling the Eastern
question, the treaty Of Berlin has mere
ly changed its form. Gladstone is right
when he says that "the partition of
Turkey, If not as complete as that OF
Poland, is as great" The natives OF
buffetted provinces are made of sterner
stuff than the Poles, and cannot be SO
easily crushed. Besides, the sympathy
of to-day is too strong to allow of their
inhabitants being carted away by the
thousands to desolate, dreary wastes as
exiles. 1t does look as if the whole
question would need some revision. {

Although Bristol is a small and UNI
important town, it has two mayors,
two municipal governments, two bodies
of police, and is taxed in two States. 1t
is in Tennessee and Virginia, the cen
tire of Main street being the dividing
line, and its peculiar position causes
no little confusion and many droll in
cidents. Young couples elope from
Virginia, and, by crossing the street,
enter Tennessee and are married with
out hindrance. A man commits a
crime in Tennessee, flies to the oppo-
site sidewalk in Virginia, and delies
the officers of the former State. He
needs to be very guarded in his move
ments, however, lest he cross the boun-
dry and become amenable to the laws of
the commonwealth lie has fled or step
ped away from. Fugitives are often
pulled across the street by officers armed
with n warrant, and so legally arrested.
Not long since, a fellow who had stolen
Il horse in Tennessee crossed the boun-
dary-by walking twenty feet-and
seating himself on a pile Of dry goods
boxes, laughed a pursuing policeman
to scorn. While so occupied, q law
abiding citizen pushed over the pile of
boxes, and the thief fell within the
confines of Tennessee, and into the
arms of the Whiting and watching min
ion of the law.
Women who prefer to have their
children born in one or the other State,
often live on one side of Main street,
and cross over just before the coming
event. There are several instances in
which ~expectant mothers have been a
little too late, and thus children de-
signed for Virginia nativity have been
born on Tennessee soil, while predes-
tined Tennesseeans have clearly missed
their destiny by being enrolled in the
census of Virginia. A number of ma
ture Bristolites are still uncertain of
their place of birth, having vainly spent
time and money trying to discover be-
yond doubt whether they are Virgini-
ans or Tennesseeans.

WORK AND WAGES.

The condition of working people in Eu-
rope is really deplorable; still it has been
said in this country that American laborers
must expect to be reduced to European
prices 1t might as well be said that we
must expect to have a change of govern
ment, so that working people here, as in king
cursed Europe, shall have no voice in public
affairs. The theory proclaimed in America
has been that working people are not to be set
aside in matters pertaining to their well be-
Jog. This outrage the radical party has been
guilty of, and the effort to reduce American
labor to the level of European prices has
not only been successful, but it has, in thou
sands of instances, deprived workingmen of
employment at any price. Since it has been
the purpose of the radical party to increase
the gains of Shylocks and the burdens of
labor, and bring American working people
to the European level, 1t may be interesting
to know what that level is. lin Germany the
pay for agricultural labor varies greatly, ac-
'cording to the proximity TO or remoteness
from manufacturing centers. and ranges
from Sc cents day in the
'neighborhood of Bremen to 81 cents
"a day in the Lower Rhine valley,
and as low as IS cents in parts of Sllesa
at Bremen, Crefefd and Dusseldorf car
'penters, coppermithis, plumbers, machin-
lists and wagonsmIths earn from 81 to rs
cents daily; saddlers and shoemakers from
AZ to 90 cents daily; bakers aud brewers,
with board and lodging from SLAP to 81. IA
weekly, and without board from 60 cents a
day TO $42S a week; farm hands are paid
from s107 to s215 yearly, with maintenance;
railway laborers from So to SO cents per
day, and as high as 90 cents daily for
piece work on tunnels silk weavers can
earn from $2.15 to $2.S5 week per loom;
factory women, $2.15, and children 81 a

portance who was not member. and prom

IL is said, therefore, that the committee's wit

assf rtion which is not far from the truth-thts
melancholy fact remains. that they all
southern republican politicians. These are the
men on whose behalf the northern voters
they were the heroes and martyrs, the loyal
citizens, the gallant upholders OF human
rights, the southern unionists, TO protect whom
eminent republicans in the last general cleo
ton waved the bloody shirt in every northern
state. To day they are denounced, and justly,
as a set OF DerJured, Inscriptions and vulgar
political tricksters, and their own sworn testi-
mony, If IT proves nothing else, shows conclu-
sively that they used their power over the
electoral votes of Florida and Louisiana solely
TO get themselves 'taken care of, and were
ready to bargain with both sides and to give
the electoral votes TO the highest bidders, pre-
ferring the republicans only, it seems because
they had less confidence in democratic PROM
iseS.
That much at any rate is proved; and we
wish could say that here the scandal
stopped. Unfortunately IL goes further, for It
has been discovered that almost every man
thus disreputabiy connected with these cleo
ton affairs has been actually rewarded with a
federal office. Our correspondent gives long
list of their names, and confeSSes that as 10
Louisiana he has not by any means completed
the tale. This is one OF the most unpleasant
features of the whole abOminable and dis
graceful business. 1t is not easy to read with
patience this list of Togues stuffed into public
offices. Granted that President Hayes believed
that the count in Florida and Louisiana was
honest as the day, these men still had no
claims for reward" there was no reason for
taking care of them. and their own course
and all the recent developments show that
they were conspicuously unfit for public honor
and office under any decent system of APP
polntmentS.
If there is anything in all of this TO laugh
at or anything likely to strengthen the radl-
cal party before the country, the conspira-
tors are welcome 10 it. If there is anything
in all of the terrible disclosures of fraud that
reads like a farce" the people have not
been able to discover it. Such record OF
crime was never made before by any party
under heaven. 1t stands out clearly defined
the most haggard piece of depravity the
world has ever witnessed.

upon its ruins q despotic government, in
which the will OF the few should
effectually silence the will of the many.
The strong government the radical party
favors is like that of Germany, of Austria,
and of Russia and other European countries,
where immense standing armies obey the
will of one man; where free expression upon
matterso of public importance is not tolerated;
where the press is suppressed, and where the
people are to all intents and purposes slaves.

"weak government" means a constitutional
government, the foundations of which were
laid by Washington and his compatriots,
and which found full expression
in the constitution of the
United States. OF such agovernment demo-
Gratis dare to say they favor They dare to
say they are in favor of a government by
the people, OF the people and for the people.
In favor of the militia instead of standing
army, and of the civil instead of the military
power to carry on the government and TO
carry forward all the grand enterprises of
the age. Such government is not weak"
government and it is not despotism. 1t is
a government of popular sovereignty, gov
eminent of law, government in which the
will of the people-the uncrowned sovereigns

state lines, dethrones state sover-

Journal may now understand that what it is
pleased to call "weak government" such
as democrats favor, is a constitutional gov,
eminent with all the checks and balances
which the constitution provides-a govern
ment strong enough for the peace, prosperity
and glory of the country-a government
which won the admiration of the civilized
world until the radical party obtained power,
and Grant, with his army of thieves, sought
to de strOV.
