THE A IN THE EAST.

There seems now no reason what
e. er to doubt that peace has actually
been signed between Russia and Tur-
key. The conditions also, SO far as
we have yet learned them, are not
nearly so onerous as those which the
conqueror was once Expected to de-
mand of the conquered. They in
volve, however, the complete dismem-
berment Of Turkey as a European
power, and terminate that existence
as q great and aggressive factor in the
politics of Europe which she has
maintained since, 1853, Mohammed
ii chptured Constantinople. Hence
forth Turkey, as a European power,
is reduced to the position Of Venice
after she was shorn of her strength
and had seen her navy melt away,
ship by ship, under the influence OF
the shifting scenes Of the newer mar
time powers Of the Old World.

We wonder what is the matter with
Col. Hutton now. He is President
of the citizens association and yet he
did not design to even notice that or
%ganization last week. Instead of
giving a report of its meeting in his
valuable paper and in this way
assist in advertising the association
he treated it with contenptous silence.
To say the least, this looks bad.
When the President acts in this way,
what can the people expect from the
association. Col, you surely did
not draw off because that committee
on advertising did not report, did you
If you come into the association tC
make money out Of it you got in th'

AFRICAN LIGHT INFANTRY.


In one Of his letters TO the Stand
ard of the Cross, from Cape Pslmis,
Bishop Penick writes: "A man who
can make beaver hats can make his
fortune here. They are all the rage!
Many are the naked negroes l have
seen with just q beaver on. ] saw
one with . light beaver on and q
stream of white dirt down the middle
Of his back"
This 10 a little in advance OF Judge
Longstreet's description of d Georgia
Major, whose uniform he said con-
sisted of a shirt collar and q pair of
spurs. But it is barely up to the
New York witness account of the
costume of o certain female of which
he was asked in court:
How was she dressed?' asked the
prosecuting attorney.
"Airly, SIR" said the witness.
ssBut what did she have on" per-
sisted the lawyer.
"a diamond ring, sir,' replied the
FITNESS.
It il not unfreqasnt on the frontiers
at an Indian agency to see a big buck
Indian in ball dress, consisting of .
large brass-rimmed pair of sp~eetacles.
But after all, q negro with a stove
pipe hat on, and u streak Of white
dirt down his back is ''airily
dressed" The Indians seem never
to have thought of the willie streak
of dirt. Nothing like originality.

Gases EXplOded.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4-Judge Blatch-

morning, in the case of Peter Coleman
against United States Commissioner
John j. Davenport, which came up en-
the return to the writs of certiorarl and
habeas corpus in the matter of his appli-
cation for his discharge from imprlson-
ment under one of Commissioner Da-
venport's commitments, upon hearing
the facts of the case, decided that Cole
mon should never have been taken into
custody. and his immediate discharge
was ordered. Judge Blatchford said that
no jury could ever convict Coleman OF
having used certificate of naturaliza-
ton knowing the same to have been un-
lawfully Issued or used under the decision
OF a Judge of the court that issued the
same, which had been publicly pro-
nounced, declaring the certificates to be
valid and legal. Coleman was arrested
upon an affidavit made by one Stephen
Moser, q subordinate of Davenports:
The same kind of form is used in all
Davenport's cases. Judge Blatchford in
sisted that the prisoner be at once dis
charged, but his counsel, requesting that
the Question of the naturalization pro-
oeedlngs of the Superior Court be passed
upon BY the United States Court, the
judge and counsel agreed the order dis.
charging should not be entered until
he had prssod upon this question. This
