European Turkey. The new-fangled jangles
of British interests and British prestige have
been in the air so long that it is relief to
hear Mr.. Gladstone plead for British honesty
and fair play. He brushes aside the phyH-
zeal development argument with scOrniul
gesture. a. am desrOus,n he exclaims, that
- the standard of our material strength should
"be highly esteemed by other nations; but
"beleVe it Is of far greater Importance that
eve should stand high in their esteem for
. truth and honor, and openness in our
proceedings, casting aside the motives of
narrow selfshness, and giving scope TO the con-
celebration of broad and lofty aspirations"
He realizes that the moral force of England
is not what it was, and that the nation has
been pursuing what it fancied we're Its inter
ests Z" with a zeal and a Rreediness as II they
"were the most real and vital. in the world"
These have not the glitter of imperial ideas,
but they are sober and honest, and they appeal
to the best traits of English character.
The second point is the direct tendency
toward personal government, which has been
the most dangerous element of Lord BeacoDs-
fields policy. During the last six months
neither Parliament nor the nation has known
what the Government was aiming TO do.
The Premier has worked out his own
plans. He has sent the feet to Con-
stantinople and brought the SepOys from
India he has made treaties with the Gar and
the Sultan he has entered into mOmentOus
engagements and assumed enormous response
bilties; and in each instance he has acted
without the consent of Parliament, and has
only allowed the nation to know what he was
doing when it was too late to draw back with
self-respect. Mr.. Gladstone does not hesitate
to say that no other English statesman OF the
century would have dared to do what Lord
BeacOnsfeld has done. He challenges the
Government to find an instance of a treaty
" involving great and important responsible
" ties, certain in great contingencies of impos-
cling heavy sacrifices on the people and enter
cling beyond the lines of ordinary pre-
"cedent, that has been negotiated and
"ratified in secret He maintains that the
Government has treated Parliament with dis
respect, neglect and contempt. These are
strong words, but they needed to be spoken.
1t must not be forgotten that England's Con-
stitution is merely her accumulation of pre-
cedents, and that thus what is barely tOler-
ated in one decade becomes, by virtue OF that
liberation, the established law of the
next. What is only dangerous tendency
to-day may be a definite and accepted
policy in the future; and Parliamentary
Government Is the most sacred British
interest that can be menaced.

II Senator Wallace really has Yioe-Presidential
aspirations he should lose time in gagging Black

Mr.. Thurman will wrestle with the Ohio idea

Now that General Butler has formally left the
Republican party, the farce of calling him Repub-
lican Representative on the Potter Committee has
come to an end.
There is no danger of tho payment of Southern
claims with Republican majority in Congress
There is imminent danger of their payment with a
Democratic majority Vote accordingly.
Hendricks and Randall are both so rudely crowded
out of the Democratic field that there is nothing
left for them to debut run independent ticket
of their own. For platform they could declare
simply A." We are on all sides Of all questions"
Congressman Foster thinks there will be one Con-
gresham elected in Missouri this Fall who viii not

He will not say whether the man will be a National
or a Republican. In all probability no will DO a
National, and the Republican who leans with hope
upon member Of that party is droadfully liable to
be disappointed.

stood HIM correctly. He emerged from an interview
at the White House last week in high state of sat-
istacton. While he was not at liberty to make pub

say that he was perfectly satisfied with the posi-

what he thought the Chinese embassy would be able

4 NATIVE AMERiCAY SWELL.

Civilized man is very prompt 60 resent an outrage
upon his nose. He will endure with long suffering
tho discordant hand-organ, the gathering railroad
and even the nocturnal mocking-bird and baby-car-
rage but the fat-factory will stir him up to sudden
wrath and mutiny. Yet. although Tepulsye sights
and sounds will not so surely Tuiiie his compO-
sure as will unpleasant od0rs, he admits without
question the theory that the pleasures Of the eye
and ear are intrinscally OF a nobler range than
those of smell. The philosophy Of this is not
far 10 seek, and still in these Vacation days,
when all delights are doublY welcomed, he
ought not to forget to be grateful for
the humber Injuries Of life No one ever constructs
a paradise in bis Imagination without adding gales
of fragrance TO the bursts of melody aud visible
splendors of the earth and sky. In early Spring the
breath of budding woods and fresh earth brings
new and healthful joy TO life; and as
the year on, the fragrance of apple-bossoms,
the spicy bloom of the wild-Gape aud the perfume
of clovcI-felds and new-mown hay, are not TO be
lightly thought of even while the winds and waters
are making music day and night and the glories of
an ever changing landscape are passing in slow pro-
cession before the eye.
Justnow, as for a fortnight past, the distinctive
fragrance which greets us "a soon as we leave
tho paved ways Of the city a few miles
behind, is exbaled from fields Of tasselled
corn. There is something peculiarly native Ameri-
can in this refreshing aroma, and travellers who
return at this season from over the sea have e
marked that with the breath Of the cOrn-blossOms
came the first full realization of being home once
more. Ii is one of those odors which FAINT and
only perceptible by an effort in the day
time, but which begin to make their sweetness
known with the hrst quiet Of tho twilight; and
thus by association it il linked with all the thrOng
ing fancies Of that hour But whether it is only
the season Of its prevalence which brings the
thought or whether 1t belongs essentially to that
range of odors which arise from the rich perfection
Of Autumn frutage, it certainly requires effort
Of the imagination to detect in the frag-
rance of cOm-blossoms q certain flavor OF
maturity and completeness which suggests the
harvest past and Summer ended Ii is a reminder
that the days are growing shorter and tho year is
fast rpening. 1t is warning that for only little
longer will the earth be clothed with regal and
swelling luxunance. and il reminds us to advise
people IN the city who hungering for taste Of
the beauty and harmony and fragrance of nature in
her period of Astounding life, that they must crafty
these longings quickly, or wait for another year.

FORWARD no RESUMPTION

All business operations at this season turn
largely upon the movement and prospects of
grain. To some extent, prospects are yet in
dispute. That much damage was done by bad
weather in the chief wheat growing State is
not denied, but as to the extent and nature of
injury there is much conflicting information.
Some urge that the farmers always talk
glOomily just before the selling season, and
that the injury this year seems to be confined
to part of one State, in which the increase
of acreage has been so great that no probable
injury can prevent an increase of crop, even
in Minnesota. Others insist that there must
be very general injury to quality; that
when freight rates are well maintained
this Is sure to prevent the harvesting of much
of the inferior grain and to cause much to be
fed to cattle; and that there is even reason
TO believe that the quantity harvested will be
smaller than it was last year, and the
foreign markets less favorable to an ac-
tive movement. Those interested in either
direction will naturally accept the view which

A little fraukness in politics now and then
is useful thing-thOugh not always to the
man who is guilty of it. Mr. Ransom, one of
the Nationalist leaders, did the public good
turn when he said the other day, as is
shown. on another page, that Keaney has

"ngs, only he speaks them out in harsh,
"ungentlemanly way" No sensible person
doubts that the rant and vulgaTity of Kearney
and the more decorous utterances of Nationals
who are used to decent surroundings and
civilized language, ali tend to the same
en- DIS; but it makes the general cOmprehen-
sion of the fact easier to have it so bluntly
admitted. Both classes of agitators mean the
destruction of property, the annihation of
credi5, the end of the reign Of good faith. 1t
is well to have this understood. 1t is also
well, perhaps, for the community that
the chief part in such movement should he
borne by man whose grammar. is as bad as
his opinions and who is as coarse as he is
malicious.

Sir William Thomson was an authority
specially relied upon by Mr.. Edison in his at
tack upon Professor Hughes and Mr.
Preece. The letter Sir William has adj
dressed to THE TRIBUNE comes, therefore,
somewhat as the decision of an umpire; and
its purpOrt is such as to make the friends OF
Mr.. Edison regret his impetuOus accusations.
Sir William is clearly of opinion that
Mr.. Edison was right in claiming that
the physical principle used In ms
telephone is the same subsequently used by
Professor Hughes in the micrOphOne. But he
is equally clear that a Frenchman used 1t
years before either of them, and that
another Frenchman had still earlier, pointed
out the law on which it depends; and
his conclusion Is that Mr. Edison owes an
ample apology to the scientists he accused Of
betraying and rObbng him. 1t seems plain
that Mr.. Edison must either make this apology
promptly, or show Sir William that he Is
mistaken.
