themselves to carrying out their chosen
scheme. Honest laboring men, however,
ought to be reminded, and the sooner the
better, that that society is most prosperous IS
a whole which develops the greatest number
Of experienced capitalists TO control its enter
prise. The sagacious capitalist who directs
when, where and how TO invest the accumu-
latiOns Of past labor, is not only help to the
laborer, but the main reliance of the laborer.
No doubt capital can abuse its power, but the
teachings of enlightened self enterest and lib
eral public spirit point in the same direction,
and the demagogue does no more pernieious
work than to incite unthinking laborers TO
look upon capitalists as class with antipathy
and mistrust. : N. Y Tribune.

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

The Turkish Parliament has voted an ad-
dress asking the Sultan to hasten a conclu-
sion Of peace, or if that be rendered impossi-
BILE by the exCrbitant character Of the Russian
conditions, to organize resistance to the bitter
end. 1t was reported at Constantinople that
the Governor Of Gallipoli has abandoned the
town. General Gourko's three days fight
with Suleiman Pasha's army consisted in a
rear and flank attack, slightly resisted by the
Turks, whose efforts were chiefly directed to
escaping into the Rhodope Mountains. Gen.
Gourko's loss was five hundred killed and if-
teen hundred wounded. Suleiman Pssha re :
ports to Constantinople that he brought off
thirty thousand men after incredible suffer
ings among the snow clad mountains of
Thrace. There il much irritation at st. Pc.
tersburg al the attitude of England, and if
the peace negotiations fail it will be attrib

The Grand Duke Nicholas expected to ar

Russia has informed the Powers that it in not

but her troops will continue to advance with
the object of exercising pressure upon the
Porte. As soon as the preliminaries are ao.
cepted an armistice will be concluded and the
terms communicated to the Powers. The
Russians expected to reach Gallipolis last Sat.
urday. The Turkish garrison has bren rein.

A St. Petersburg despatch states that the
latest advices from london and Vienna are Of
9 more satisfactory character, and the rela !.
tions between England and Russia are now
on better footing. The Austrian and Ger.
man press appear satisfied that peace will not
be settled without the guaranteeing Powers
having their interests guarded, if they do not
have voice in the final settlement of . treaty
of peace.

The Real Enemies OF Working
men.

From the Utica Herald
Against the fanfaronade of such loose talk
ers as Voorhees, common sense protests that
labor prospers best when it is paid in the best
money; that any degradation in the currency
strikes first and heaviest at wages; and that
confidence in the future, which is essential to
the revival Of industry and trade, requires f.
deity to the National faith and acceptance of
the highest standard of money recognized
among commercial nations. If Congress were
to propose a law to reduce the wages of every
workingmen s per cent, the popular response
would be loud and plain, and if it were to
enact that business shall be so disturbed that
no man can tell the financial ground upon
which he stands, indignation would find
strong modes of expression. Both of Use
things the Bland Silver Bill embodies, and the
country is only beginning to condemn it aad
to insist that it must not become q law.

CURIOUS PROPHECIES.
"Mofher Shipton'so Finale Get

estfng.

Perhaps il is well enough just now to prin
few of the old political prophecies again
The following lines are supposed to have beer
published before the Crimean war of 1858
some authorities giving the date of publ
cation 1853:
sin twice two hundred years the Bear
The Crescent shall assail;
But if the Cock and Bull unite,
The Bear shall not prevail.
But looki in twice ten years again
Let Islam know and fear
The Cross shall wax, the Crescent wane,
Grow pale and disappear"
''Twice two hundred years." from 145S,
brings us to 1858. This was the beginning OF
the ''Crimean war FEaGce (the 'cOcko and
and England (the Ebull' declared war in alli'
ance with Turkey gslaml against Russia (the
bear in March 1ss In 1856 peace was
concluded by Congress at Paris. ''Fhe
bear did not prevail" Twice ten years
from this period brings Us to 1876, during
which year disturbances commenced In Hez'
egovina, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Montenegro and
Servia, which finally involved the Porte in a
war with the last two named provinces, and
although attempts at compromises and medi> :
alton were made by the Congress at Constan'
tinople in the fall of 1876, Servia alone yield
ed to Turkish authority. Montenegro refused
all overtures looking to submission, and Rus
sia, having completed preparations for the
war, made haste to take such action as has al
ready given assurance that
''The Cross shall wax, the Crescent wane,
Grow pale and disappear"
''Mother Shipton's" remarkable prophecy
was published in 14SS and republished in 1641.
All the events predicted in it, save the last,
have come to pass:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe,
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange. yet shall be true,
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root Of tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass shall be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, In black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found, and found
In land that's not yet known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England at last shall admit Jew,
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty one"

SKSAToR EAToH was not talking at random
when he charged Mr.. VOORHEES, with endeav-
oring to array labor against capital-about the
worst use, all things considered, to which Q
United States Senator could put himself.

difficult problem OF modern society is the
proper adjustment Of the relations between
employers and employed, and there has been

breaks in this country, like the explosions
which have already taksn place in Europe,
after demagogues had inismed the mob spirit
by Wild denunciations Of 'tmoney sharks
and Shyiocks. 4 This incendiary werk is ex-
actly what the advanced bimetallic thinkers
are busying themselves about to-day. 1t Il
the theory OF rabid economists like Voorhees,,
Is plsinly dsduoed from their speeches, that
the capitalist is sort Of biood-sucker who
fassens himself upon society, doing nothing
for the public welfare and batteuing on
The toll and self-denial Of his fellow beings
From this 1t follows logically that one Of two
things must be done. The capitalist must be
exterminated, or be made to disgorge. OF
course, the simple problem before dr.
Schwab and Mr.. Voorhees, is to elect between
these two lines Of policy, and then devote

The songs sung In that little wild
hut on the French coast were repro

murmar of q shell-s small, far OF
voice-in that In which we stood.
"Star of the Evening" and "Auld
Lang Syne" came rolling across that
rough and stormy Channel, down
which ships were staggering with
shortened sails, and through that
tumbling surf, without the loss OF
tone or note. Whistling the tunes
were equal success, and the tunes were
equally distinguishablew with the songs.
It was suggested that the popping ofa
cork might be made out, and our
Frence friends were asked TO listen
attentivsly to what would happen.
Unfortunately no bottles were ct hand,
but q reverend gentleman equal to the
occasion put his finger into his cheek
and admirably imitsted the drawing
of q cork. 4"You haya Just drawn 9

in its tone. A hearty laugh was rails

to overturn the management Of public insti

the question of efficiency in the management
feveu of the most important educational in
stituiions, and such as have passed hitherto
tions of either political party. Without even
the semhlance of disguise as to its real pur-
poses, and with something of spirit of boast
fulness that the party is able, by reason Of its
excessive msjorities in both houses, to defy
public sentiment in regard to pure admins
tration of the civil service, the work of ''reor-
