Reviving the Empire OF Consta milne
the Great.

the treat
Over four centuries ago the Empire of the
Greeks fell with the capture of CONSTANT
nople by the legions of the Caliph Mahomet
II. Adrianople the seat of Moslem power in
Europe at the time, ceased thereafter to be
the Sultan's capital, and Stamboul, as the
captured Constantinople was called, became
the centre Of an empire whose destinies
have influenced Europen politics ever since.
The history of the Turk since his first land
ing on the shores of Europe at Gallipoli
down to the present day has been one unva-
rying record of blood, spoliation and ma
tional degradation. ftful splendor has
PLAYED around his name because of the
successes that attended the first centuries of
Ottoman rule in Europe, and because wealth
and magnifcence are sentimentally asso-
ciated with the Orient. But the sword-hash
Of the merciless conqueror and the flames
from the regions he visited and devastated
gave the lights and shadows that surrounded
his figure in Europe with lurid glory that
is now nearly if it is not quite extinguished
Strange changes have been wrought in
stormed the last stronghold Of the old Greek
Empire and displaced the cross for the
crescent on the dome of st. Sophia
But the conditions have changed most
disastrously for the Turk himself. A victo-
rious enemy is advancing from Adrianople
toward STEAMBOAT bearing the cross to re-
place the crescent Oh st. Sophia. The
armies Of the Sultan are scattered and
strewn" as if the Angel of Death had
breathed upon them. The time has almost
arrived when the wheel of destiny shall, re-
volving, carry the Turk below the horizon
of national existence in Europe But after
the Turk, what? Even his taking OFF,
though long looked for must leave blank
such as all Europe will be interested in fill
ing. Poetic justice calls for the revival of
the Greek Empire of Constantine the Great,
but international policy and jealousy may
raise obstacles to such measure We re-
gard the erection of an independent Greek
State which shall embrace extensive terri
tory on both sides of the disputed channI
between the Black Sea and the Levant, and
have for its capital Constantinople, and for
it's protection the guarantee OF oil the Pow
ers, as the practical solution OF the Eastern
question, so far as it affects general Euro
pean interests. 1t can also be made the
guarantee of particular interests by substi-
tuting peaceable and strictly neutral
Power without traditions or aspirations for
warlike but impotent one, which has
been, since Navarino, the plaything of
diplomacy. 1t would afford to Russia
her rightful freedom for legitimate
development without permitting her to
menace the interests of other nations in
the East and the Mediterranean. Those

ported and we should be destitute of q
legal tender. II you pass a law that every
pair of shears shall have one gold and one
silver blade there will be no scissors at all
after gold is banished. Mr.. Cameron's half
and-half legal tender is like such shears.
Nothing is more completely demonstrated
by science and by history than that two
kinds of money of unequal value cannot be
made to circulate together in the same coun-
try, the more valuable being always ex-
ported. The only silver compromise that
could be made TO work in practice would be
either pretty high limit to the amount Of
silver coined, or a pretty high limit to the
amount which should be legal tender in
one payment. To make silver tender to
the amount of fifty dollars would be prac-
ticable though an injudicious compromise,
ticable whimsey.
The boast of the silver champions that
they have fifty-two Senators is trick to
inspire confidence and hold their followers
It is like the fictitious statements made by
the friends of candidates on the eve of q
political convention, which have often no
other foundation than the wishes Of their
supporters. If the leaders Of the silver
movement should confess their own fears
their followers would become Respondent,
and so they will continue to brag until the
vote shows how they stand. Voorhees, has
been of considerable service to the cause Of
honest money by the unblushing frankness
with which he identified the silver move
ment with the old greenback Reputation.
Nothing could have been better calculated
to incline wavering Senators toward the
right side than a pro-silver argument rest
ing on the same principle as the exploded
greenback heresy.

Professor Chandler on street Cleaning.
In the complete conversion of the Prosi-
dent of the Department of Health to the
HERALDs ideas on street cleaning we are
willing to forget his early heresies regard
ing this important matter, and to hail him
as n worker in the good cause Of clean
streets and sanitary security. His lecture
on the block or district system was filled
with good suggestions and is deserving of
public attention. The chief merits of this
plan are it's simplicity and consequent
efficiency for its purpose and the close in
spection Of the district by the interested
residents which it will cause. Neglect Of
any particular street or section cannot fail
to be noticed when the residents of the
vicinity keep up constant supervision
of the work of street cleaning. Complaints
can be recorded by any citizen who desires
to have the streets. djacent to his dwelling
kept clean and free from the encumbering
and unsightly MONDAY ash barrel.
Whether the districts be limited in size to
blocks or wards matters very little SO long
Us the system of districting is adopted and
the proper means appueu 10 keeping tue
streets clean. There is no reason why
careful experiments cannot be made as to
the best plan Of dividing up the street
cleaning area, and, indeed, as to the
economy of employing regular munich
pal corps of sweepers, uniformed, if
necessary, or of letting contracts for
the cleaning of the several districts.
Certain sections of the city can be cleaned
for six months on the block system, others
on the ward district plan. These, again,
can be cleaned by special city sweepers or
by contractors, so that the actual cost of the
most effective and economical system Of
street cleaning can be determined. The
separation of ashes and garbage and the
profitable disposition of the same--not ac-
cording to the views of the Police Commits
sioners-will be easy enough if vigorously
enforced and honestly managed. The
whole work, being supervised by an ener-
getic and faithful superintendent appointed
by the Mayor, as we have before suggested
should result in New York becoming the
cleanest and healthiest city in the world

Suleiman's Escape-COnstan tinOple.
Suleiman Pacha, with the bulk Of his
army, has got happily out of the tight
place he was in and is for the mo-
ment safe from the hands of the Mus
covites. News from General Gourko to
the 18th shows that he had then driven
Suleiman into the Rhodope Mountains,
and that he had got away from him,
though with heavy losses. Suleiman, hay
ing been turned from his right line Of
retreat by the presence on that line of the
Russians at Adrianople, recognized the i'm
minent peril of Constantinople and the
urgent necessity of adding the troops
he had to the number of it's de-
tenders. And in view of such need
he is not the man to lose time.
He marched with all possible rapidity,
therefore, and reached Drama, whence
he telegraphed to Constantinople for
transports to take his force by sea from
Kavala Bay to where it will do most
good. This is successful stroke that
will justly add to his fame as a commander.
From Drama he can reach yKavala Bay by
easy marches, and the transports that for
merly moved his army, can move it
again over the short distance between
the Macedonian coast and the Hellespont.
Constantinople dispatches which announce
that the Russians will be at the Peninsula
Of Gallipoli by the Goth are said to be exag-
gerated, but we can see no reason for such
exaggeration now, since the tactics of stir
ring up England by picturing their case as
worse than it really is can be of no use in this
crisis. It is certainly possible for the
Russians who were at Adrianople on the
21st to be at Gallipoli with part of their
force FIVE days later and all that is pos
sible they will do for the central interest
of the war is now the possession Of that
point. Russia strives to secure and Turkey
to defend it, for if the Russians possess
that point they need not demand, with
regard to the control Of the Dardanelles,
any guarantee
Late dispatches state that the Russians
threaten to march on Constantinople unless
the Porte Immediately accepts their terms
of peace. This coupled with the state
ment that Austria has withdrawn her OBJ
jections to Russian occupation Of the
capital, suggests the probability that grave
complications have again arisen. AS the
Turk is helpless his safety now depends on
the interference Of the Powers. Should
this fail he must concede everything the
Russians demand.

BEN Butler to the Rsscue-Silver or
Revenge.

Revenge.
And now it is Ben Butler who means to be
awfully bad about his silver ninety-two cents.
We say 'Ben," contrary to our usual GUS
TOM but since the gentleman has himself
declared that he regards this us term of
endearment," and since we wish him to feel
that he is very dear to us, he has really made
it impossible for us to call him by more for
NAL names. Ben not only shouts, shrieks,
bawls and tears his hair about it; he not only
yawps over the housetops Of creation, that he
shall, must and will have his silver and that
it shall be worth seven York shilings and
four cents, and shall be called dollar, but
further he startles the nation with voice as
melancholy as ''the VOLTS long howl on
Onalaskas Shore" making the steatorian
declaration that if he Ben, the pet and bad
boy Of the nation, cannot have his little
silver game, then nobody else shall have
anything ut all, and there shall be an end
Mt once Of all peace and quietness, to say
nothing of cakes and ale Ben will upset
evcrybodys apple cart at once. He will
smash every window pane in the house; he
will stuff the chimney full Of wet straw so
as to stop the draught and prevent the fire
from burning, and there will not only be no
dinners cooked, but we shall all be smoked
out forthwith and must live in the woods.
He will cut the clotheslines; leave
the scuttle open when it rains; put
dead cats in the cistern turn the
fearfulness OF his visage on the milk cans !;
and he will head off the butcher, the baker
and the candlesLick maker at the next cor
ner and tell them the family has moved
away. In one way or another Ben will have
his revenge if he cannot have his silver.
Silver or revenge, that is now his succinct
platform. But perhaps there is more sound
and fury in all this than sober earnest.
Perhaps when Ben threatened that if the
Silver bill could not get through in any
other way it should be put on all the appro-
priation bills, that was only his exuber-
ant way of giving vent to his nat
ural disposition to make q noise in

The WEArHER.--The depression which has
passed over the Central and Middle Atlantic
States and the lake region IA barometrc trough
has reached Northern New England and the Brit
ISL maritime provinces. The pressure has fallen
very steadily, and "a storm centre will undoubt
eddy be developed in the Atlantic near New
foundland, if not farther westward At present
the relations OF the high areas to the de-
preston do not tend to cause an increase of
wind force; but these are being gradually
changed 30 as To promote the effect
suggested. Light rains and snow, with westerly
tn northwesterly winds and rapidly falling
temperature, follow closely behind the centre Of
lowest pressure. The rain area of the dcpres-
zion extends far to the northeastward over the
Atlantic. The highest barometer is in the
Northwest, and is rapidly moving eastward.
The pressure is also high in the Southwest
and West but is relatively low, although
above the mean, in the South Atlantic States.
Therefore the weather west of the Upper Msss-
sppi is clear or clearing and southwark of Ten
nessec is clear or partly cloudy, tending to
clear. Elsewhere it is cloudy, with areas of
rain and snow and slcct at some points the
lakes. Another depression is advancing from
the Northern Territories and States CT the
Pacific but will, probably, move over Manitoba
and thence to the regions northward of the lakes.
feature Of the weather attending the movement
of the depression over the Middle Atlantic
States is the dense and general fog that has pre-
vailed on the coast. Happily 10 serious acct
dents are reported due to this cause. The
ia New York and it's vicinity to-day will
l,e cloudy or partly cloudy, with morning fog
and LIGHT rains, followed by clearing and falling
