UNSOLvED PROBLEMS.
AS we stated last week. the :

AS we stated last week. the real con-
test growing out of the war between
Russia and Turkey. has just begun.
What will be Turkeys position in Eu-
rope ?-what Russia's? Who will have
the entree to the Dardanells ? Who will
control the Danube? Will Turkey be
able to retain her gigantic fleet !? If Tot,
will it 60 to England as guarantee of
the defaulted Turkish bonds ?-or to
Russia as part naturalization of war
expenses? Shall Russia have port on
the Sea of Marmora and also on the
Epirus, thus making her naval power
on the Black Sea and the Mediterran-
can? These are few of the problems,
and who shall say what their solution
shall be? UnquestionablY the diplomat
ic and military advantages are. so far all
Russia's. She has not only crushed out
the Turkish armies, but her forces are
even now in Stamboul. And she holds
fortified points on the Sea Marmora,
whence she can command the passage of
the Dardanelles. Meantime the British
Government has dispatched Admiral
Horribly with five of the best ships of his
feet to Constantinople. A Congress Of
the Six Great Powers, Russia, Austria,
italy, Germany, Great Britain, and
France, is soon to assemble in Adrian
ople, to adjust the conditions of last
ing peace: will new war be inaugural
ed before that Congress meets? it does
not seem probable. But it is not i'm
possible. The reader will do well tc

'HEALING IN ITS BEAMS. The
Springfield Republican speaks as fol-
lows: "The spread of the local temper
ance movement, inaugurated by Francis
Murphy, continues to be unprecedented
in its extent and grasp. 1t is sweeping
town after town, moving sluggish village
communities with surprising power. de-
veloping efficient apostles in the most
unexpected quarters, and doing work
of grace for all this region quite unpar-
alleled in the experience of western Mas
sachusetts. The secret of this success
must be taken to be the new departure
of the Murphy method With malice
toward none, with charity for all, is a
motto of vital significance as preached
by Murphy and his aids. Even the op-
position of the rumsellers cannot stand
before it, and those who came to scott
literally have remained to pray This
marks the difference between the present
temperance crusade and the Washing
tonian movement that the fathers remem-
Der. Then the .rummies' were reused
to vengeance in many cases, and a good
deal of private property was destroyed
by them. Now, too, the local towns are
to be congratulated on the manner in
which they are making permanent in
vestment in the results of the revival by
establishing places for social resort.
These are most wisely planned with a
freedom from the austere restraints that
too frequently defeat the object of such
places, and they are for the use of ever
ybody wishing to buy lunch or seek a
respectable. yet congenial, loafng place.
They are already proving very Chris
tian and profitable society investment. y
THE PARIS ExH1BITIoN.-The vessels
that will bear the American goods to
the Paris Exposition will set sail on the
| Goth instant. Commissioner Mccormick
reports a good exhibit, especially of ag-
ricultural implements and machinery.
All the space offered to our government
will be occupied, and with great vari-
ETY. of articles. Many displays that
were offered had to be rejected from lack
of room, but the selection has been such
as to avoid duplication as far as possible
and present display that would be
most interesting to foreign countries and
beneficial to American manufactures.
The displays would have been much bet
ter had Congress passed the appropria
ton bill before, SO that more time nigh
! have been had in which to make prepar
alton. For this reason many of GU
most celebrated manufacturers have re
fused to exhibit.

The city authorities for two or three
weeks past have very energetically en-
forced the law requiring all bars of the
sale of intoxicating liquors to be closed
on Sunday. officers have been sent to
the hotels as well as to the groggeries,
to see that the bars were closed, and a
number of arrests have been made from
each. Let the law be enforced, is the
demand of every citizen who has any
regard for the welfare of the city and
Its inhabitants. Those who object must
do it from some motive that will not
stand the test of reason or conscience.
