Gen. Garibal.li has written a let

strength in the kind greeting and good

BY the official report of the mer-
camille failures in the United Sta Is il
appears that 1877 was not as disas-
trous as previous years in several ways.
Fewer firms were bankrupted, and
many that suspended were broken by
bad management or previous weak
ness, while others were swamped with
assets nearly equal to their liabilities.
The prospect of the current year is
more suspicious than was that of this
time last year. both for old and new
concerns, and if business continues to
improve even gradually, the CONNER
cial and industrial classes will he en-
abled to pull through in good condi-
ton for the spring trade. The expert
ence of the past few years has not
been an unmixed evil, for it has die
tated many reforms in general trade
as we'll as in social and official circles,
and the commercial credits of the f,l'
ture will be of the safe and solid order.
The volume Of trade may be some
what contracted during the present
year, but the collections will be close
and the profits secure.

Through all the recent war agIta-
ton the London Times has been con.

has refused to recognize any cause for
alarm, and by IFS vehement cries fol-
peace. peace. has reminded one OF
the boy who whistled in the graveyard.
Now it goes into an ecstasy of con-
graduation over that exceedingly
vague and conclusive composition, the
Queens speech. The meaning of that
speech, so far as it has any. is so elias
tic that each man can conscientiously
construe it to suit his own individual
opinions, which shows what a martyr
the Premier is of diplomatic ambigui-
ty. But considering the delightful
indefniteness, perhaps the Times con-
CALCULATIONS are little too loud. In
the meanwhile the wave of war
whereof Lord Salisbury spoke has
rolled over Philippopolis, and the for
tifcation of Constantinople is being
pressed forward.

The Muscovite is now in AdrianO-
pie, the ancient capital Of the Turks,
and the power of the latter is broken.
It is in order now to forecast as near
ly as may be what Russia will demand
of Turkey as the price of peace. 1t
is pretty certain that the tripartite I'm
perial alliance has arranged to have
the Danubian provinces placed under
the suzerainty of Germany, Austria
and Russia, through the nominations
of viceroys as rulers, with semi-inde-
penJence, or what may be called
autonomy as long as you behave
yourself" The advantage to Russia
in this arrangement will be sentiment
tai and insignificant, but it will lead
to her partial control of the mouths OF
the Danube, and ultimately must ben
eft her commerce and assist her in
her schemes to become a great naval
power. Next comes the claim for in.
demnity for losses by the war. which
the Gar holds must be equal to the
outlay his government has made fol
the past year, because he did not pro-
woke the conflict. The sum will be
told in millions, and Turkey is bereft
of cash. She must paw this indemni.
ty by transferring her boasted navy
to the Car, and ceding to him the
territory of Armenia, known as the
valley OF the Euphrates, with Batoum
and other ports on the Black Sea.
There will be collateral claims, such
as the permanent opening of the Oar
danelles, the proclamation and execu.
ton of religious federation throughout
the remnant of the Turkish Empire,
with guarantees of various reforms for
the tributatry provinces, but these
will be left for final settlement in a
congress of the great powers o.
Europe. They have bearing upon
the balance of power, of which each
nation is jealousy watcbful, and there
are well defined interests. which inter.
national courtesy will not allow to be
ignored. The general belief is thai
these terms will be acceded TO by the
Sublime Porte. If they are not, the
Muscoyites will take Constantinople
ard break up the Moslem rule in
Europe entirely, reserving for them
selves whatever territory and towns
they may elect as desirable. England
will protest, but, unless she is willing
to fight for the now moribund Grand
Turk, Russia will carry out her plan:
to the letter.

will recommend that the selection of
Postmasters in smaller towns be made
by popular vote, and that the Post

the selection made. This plan was
adopted in the Presidents own town

A meeting of the greenback and

about Congress. Ben Buffers speech
was the main point discussed, as it was
the main thing of the meeting.
There is significance to Buffers atti-

is safe to say that he will take the palm
from Ewing and others on the Demo.
cratic side in this regard.

confirms the statement that Mr.. Hayes

that he has not intimated what his &C

Investigation has at last begun into
the expenses and accounts Of the Navy
Department, attention being paid more
especially to the last days of the reign
of Mariner Robson. The holiness Of
Secretary Robeson's public plundering
during the first days of last March, is
a matter of public notoriety, as is the
vast amount lost to the government,
and the long delay there has been in
instituting this investigation has been
a surprise to many. Now that work
has begun, however. it is to be hoped
that it will be thorough and far reach
ing. Crookedresses in the Navy De-
partment are, as a rule, more difficult
to ferret out than those Of any other
department, because if any employee
gets too much knowledge into his head
he is consigned to a foreign station,
and investigators may whistle in vain
for the most important witnesses.
Since the last investigation by Chair.
man Whitthorne, however, internal
descriptions in the Navy Ring have de-
stroyed that unity Of opposition to
scrutiny from outside parties, and
quite number of individuals may Ike
found who are perfectly ready to have
all they know squeezed out of them.

may get their dues"
