bonds of nation ruled by universal suffrage.
He took the risk of Democratic victories, and
of the creation and final success of party OF
reputation. If it would be dishonest to rob
him of all the money loaned, it would be not
less dishonest to rob him of any part OF that
which his risk was then deemed worth.
The laborer who receives less money for a
days work than he did when bonds were
issued or sold ought to remember that he can
buy in full proportion more with his money
Prices have declined, on the whole. even a
little below the specie standard. All know
that the wages of labor, on the other hand,
have not yet fallen to the level of 1850. A
days work, according to the average rate OF
wages, will buy more of food, shelter and
clothing now than it would buy in times of
the greatest imitation. The only respect In
which the laborer has to pay any part of the
cost of the war, and Of the enormous loans
made during the war at great lisk, Is that his
taxes on whiskey, tobacco and some imported
articles have been raised. If he sees fit, he
can reduce those taxes to a very small figure
indeed. But whether he sees fit or not, he has
no right to rob those who lent to the Union
Of their just profits for the risk they took, nor
to make others pay his share OF the lneon-
venience resulting from thai temporary depre-
citation of certain kinds of skilled labor which
now appears all over the civilized world.

the missionaries sent out are womenj the
whole matter is under feminine direction and
influence.
1t is noticeable, too, that the women engaged
in this work do not at all represent that loud
spoken, vehement portion of their. sex, who
contrive always to live somehow or other III
the public eye. They are the gentle, cultured,
devOut wives and mothers of whom this world
cannot have too many, whom most of us have
been so fortunate az to know in our quiet
homes, but whom the public never knows.
They have energy, prudence and sagacity, and
they have brought them all to bear in this
work. Their success has been exceptionally
great, though it is unheralded by newspaper
clamOrs. Many earnest Christian thinkers
have doubts as to the efficiency of foreign
missions, and assert that it is only cropping
after bird in a very Ear off bush while our
hands are filed with others to which we are
blind. But if anything would convert these
doubters it should be the cordial, Christ-like
spirit in which these gentle ladies have come
out of Withdrawing sects and united IN
common effort to serve their Master.

The yellow fever panic in the South and
West seems to be on the increase The main
line of railroad running into Louisville from
the South has all its rOlling-stOck in use, as
the dispatches show, carrying the terror
stricken people, who crowd even the aislcs
and platforms of the cars. Towns in Indiana
have established regulations; Cincinnati has
sent physicians to Outposts on the rail-
roads, where passengers and baggage
will be- examined ana infection shut
ont. Pi!lsbrrg has decided to quarantine
all boats and trains from the South and West,
and even Philadelphia is taking wise precau-
tons against the possible approach OF the
epidemic. There is nothing, however, in oil
this to alarm the people of this city. The
Board of Health seems to be thoroughly alive
to the necessity of stamping out at once the
faintest spark of the disease, and the prompt
ness with which the single case now here
was discovered and isolated shows how
quickly the presence of the fever can be
detected. 1t is also to be noticed that tho
dispatches do not prove any such increase of
the fever as would justify this general alarm,
and the fright Is not likely to be a long one.

THE TRIBUNE's exposure Of the secret society
whose members are known as the Knights OF
Labor, is fully sustained in all ITS details by
men who claim to have personal knowledge OF
the operations of the order. The bitter rivalry
between the Greenback and Labor Reform
elements of the National party no doubt gives
Mr.. Shupe, who belongs to the Green
back wing, the best of reasons for
wanting to fasten a bad name upon his
opponents but his testimony that there is
such an organization is strengthened by that
of detective who had made his way into all
the secrets of the order. Evidence from so
many quarters is not to be borne down by
Mr.. George Blair's declaration that ho knows
nothing of such a society. If the conclusion
of the detective alluded to is cOrrect-that
the order will fall to pieces by its own weight
the publication of the facts concerning 1T
cannot fail to hasten that end, and The
TRIBUNE will have performed a public SER
vice by making them known.

Current reports indicate that Prince Bis
marck and the Vatican are coming to terms.
The Pope is not disposed to press for the re-
peal of the Falk laws, provided they are to
remain dead letter, and the Prince is ap-
parontly willing to place the Roman Catholic
Church on the same basis rs all other denomi-
nations. Deeming Socialism great and
pressing danger, the Prince seems anxious to
have no other quarrel on his hands.
The war in Bosnia is attaining proportions
which may justify the anxiety felt at Vienna.
The warfare is of the most irregular kind.
Not only are Turkish free lances and Christian
peasants in the field, but the tumult is
swelled by the presence of Ottoman soldiers,
who, disregarding the POrte's commands, seem
ready to deal blow at the hated Austrian
whenever a fair opportunity offers. Austria
must now strike, boldly and quickly, if she
wishes to preserve her military prestige
throughout Europe.
1t is not often that the mediators need a
mediator but the so-called HarmOnizing
COMMITTEE that has come to New York to
make peace between the wrangling factions of
the National party is actually in a more bel
ligerent state than the party itself. The peace
makers quarrel openly, want to know who
pays the hotel bills of some members while
Others sleep in box factories, and absolutely
decline to do their fighting in executive
session. And while the thermometers are call
ing one another bad names in the centre of
the ring, the people who insist on being har-
mOnized are engaged in grand combat all
around the circumference. This is one way
for these gentlemen to "pOOl their issues"
but not tie way that Kearney meant.
There is apparently no lack of zeal among
the American delegates to the Monetary Con-
gress at Paris. Dir. GrOesbeck's address is a
strong argument for silver, and is in har-
mony with Mr. Eyarts's Instructions and with
the object Of the Silver BILL which directed
the President to invite European govern
ments to join the United States in a
conference "tO adopt a common ra-
ito as between gold and silver, for
" the purpose Of establishing interna-
tionally the use of bi-metallic money, and
securing fxty of relative value between
those metals" The most enthusiastic BIZ
motallist must admit that his side Of the
question is being ably presented to the Euro
pean representatives.

at thes Custom House into the methods of
