The Silver Bill passed on Thursday and
now goes to the President

The report from Europe that all the treaty
Powers have agreed to hold conference at
Baden Baden, to make or ratify terms Of
peace between Russia and Turkey, holds forth
the promise of peace between Russia aud
Great Britain. The withdrawal of the Brit
ish geet from the immediate neighborhood of
Constantinople, and the signs that are now
given of Russia intention not TO provoke
quarrel by the occupation OF GalIipoli or
ConstanGnopie in force, also encourage the
hope that the Eastern question will not re-
quire another war for its settlement The
old German watering place, Baden Baden,
should prove good place for the meet
ing of the conference; it is practically neutral
ground, and has all the appointments without
the population of city of the first-cIass.

An INSULT FROM ENGIAND.-Russia sug-
gests that the United States, as a great mari
time power, should be admitted TO the con
ference called to settle the Eastern question.
England, while not objecting to the admission
of representatives from this country, coolly
says that with Americans in the conference
they could not get along without GreeceI 1t
Is stated from Washington that our Govern
ment has not received an invitation to partic-
ipate in the European Congress at Baden !;
but that ''the propriety of accepting such an
invitation when received viii be the subject
of Cabinet discussion, and win be treated with
all the importance It deserves"
We think it would best accord with
popular sentiment flour government should
keep clear of all "entangling alliances
with European nations. We think it was
Mr. Jefferson who wished that a gulf Of
fire rolled between the old world and the
new, so that our government and people
might escape the contamination which he
seemed to think would result from too close
an intimacy Without going that far, we
think our government should respectfully
decline the invitation, if it shall be re-
ceiyed.

There is an honorable principle of fair
dealing in the practice of giving credit
whenever one newspaper appropriates the
articles of another. The reverse of this
practice is neither fair nor honorable.
Within the current week we have noticed
in three of our exchanges articles from
this journal without credit. In every such
case. hereafter, we shall strike such journal
from our exchange list If an article is
worth copying it should have due credit.

The War Outlook.

The cablegrams from the war quarter are
looked.upon as hess reassuring than those OF
Wednesday. The announcement from Berlin
that the Russians are concentrating 800, 900
men in Roumania, together with the despatch
of the British channel fleet from Gibraltar
eastward, are not considered good auguries of
peaceful intentions At any rate. that is the
way the spectators in breadstuffs at the Elk
change look upon it, and they reason that
prices ought to go higher accordingly Fri
day dispatches were more pacific.

Whoever sent us by mail those gross carl

for them. We are meek and lowly and being
smitten upon our nose we would present our
foot to the smiter. Ifthe angels lore cheer
full giver we would have those bright beings
just dote upon us for the future. For we
have a champion baseball bat which we wish
to confer-with both hands-on the valentine
sender. Not that we are mad, oh, no! No.
body pays any attention to the fools. who take
such contemplate means to vent their vulgar
malice. No, indeed In the most emphatic
language of the crushed tragedian, ''we rather
like it. What do we care for cross eyed
profile with a nose like a western ham ?
What do we care for jackass head on PAIR
of blue legs. We smile at the fools who
bought and sent them, and we have present
for the shark who made US pay extra postage
to get his vindictive piece of impertinence.
We choose him for our favorite valentine and
wish to caress him. He shall have the champ
ion baseball bat all to himself, if he will call
for it. We will confer it on him. We yearn
to bestow it with all our might.
