The European Crisis.

Although the case is not yet clear as to
the Immediate likelihood of hostile move
ments the correspondence published in
London clears up decidedly the character OF
the position taken by England in those
final stipulations which defeated the project
Of congress Of the great Powers. Russia
declared positively that she 'could only ac-
cept discussion of those points OF the treaty
affecting European interests" This seems
to have been satisfactory to all but England; !;
and why did she find fault with it and
make a further demand? Simply because
she was not caring for European interests,
but for her own. She desired the Congress
that it might discuss British interests not
those of Europe. 1t had fine air to de-
clare that she was the defender Of the sane
tity Of treaties and wished to protect
Europe against Russian aggression ; but
when the point was made clear 1T was evil
dent that she wished to limit Russian
aggression only in the interest of English as
gression Her own interests were infringed
and she naturally sought to protect them
and to assume at the same time the virtuous
attitude Of one who was protecting Europe.
This point is now apparently. y.clear in all
the European Cabinets--that while England
denounced with lofty indignation the prose-
cution of Russian plans she thought the
world ought to stop Russia in order to give
an opportunity for the prosecution OF Eng
lish plans. None OF the Powers would
90 out of their way to assist Russia
so far as her purposes were selfish, and
neither. apparently, will they distress
themselves on Englands account for the
same reason. This, therefore, will not help
her cause at Vienna. Austria was satisfied
with Russins demand, because her inter-
ests were those of Europe-a permanent,
satisfactory and non-Russian settlement OF
the Danube countries; but she will not
give the life Of single soldier to
help defend England's interest, and
the hope to make her England's ally will
fail All the statements about Ignatief's s
failure at Vienna come from London corre-
spondents, and probably express the pre-
dilections rather than the knowledge of the
writer's. But if Count Andrassy is tempted
by Englands propositions his Ministry will
not survive warlike decision.

sitting Bun ut sta mboul.

A correspondent, whose brief letter we
print elsewhere suggests that the English
government should hire Sitting Bull and
heartily approve of this suggestion, and
hope Her Britannia Majesty will avail her
self Of it. There need not be any qualms
Of conscience about it. The elder Pitt
thought that the employment of red men
of the Sitting. Bull type i'll warfare was
atrocious and barbarous, but the British
used them for all that. The Sioux warriors
shoot and scalp their victims just as the
Indian allies of the British century ago
tomahawked and scalped the Americans.
The sentiment which then sustained
the use of the red savage has not
quite died out. The bashi-bazouks,
who did such thorough work upon
the wounded Russians and Bulgarian vii.
layers, were petted by quite large section
OF the British people during the late war.
But the bashi-bazouks are pretty well used
up and will not do to count on for much
service Just now. Here, then, is a chance.
The Sioux Indian is not only cruel, but
brave. 1t would be very pretty thing to
set Sitting Bull to fight a Cossack, and ten
thousand Sitting Bulls against ten thousand
Cossacks would make combat at once SO
effective and picturesque that the special
correspondents would never weary of de-
scribing it. 1t would give much needed
variety to yellow-covered literature and
would make the fortunes of n dozen play
wriohts. Besides. we can spare Sitting
Bull and his warriors Let the great Sioux

The auintupie Herald-what Nexts

The Quintupie Herald-What Nexts
The HERALD is once more called on to ap-
pear in quintuple form, owing to the press
ure of advertisements, which to-day fill
seventy-eight out of one hundred and
twenty columns. Calling heavily rs this
happy to have made such provision for the
extra strain that the work of putting this
enormous mass of matter into type, print
ing and issuing it within the limited time
at our disposal is accomplished with the
precision Of any smaller number of the
HERALD. Our fellow laborers in this
mechanical field have naturally inter-
ested themselves in the details Of
this work of publishing quintuple sheets,
and our exchanges contain many curious
calculations based on the amount Of COM
position it entails in a single night. To
the unpractised in such matters, and. in
deed, to many familiar with the art Of
printing, it may seem startling that the
type ''set up" in one quintuple issue of the
HERALD represents the type in two octave
volumes Of three hundred and thirty three
pages each, but it can be easily demon
strated. In fact, the work done repre-
sents moro than this, for in two
such books the work would be OH n
straight line, as it were. 1t would be q
very easy matter to issue a quintuple
paper if it could be given to the printers in
the exact order in which it was to appear;
but when, instead, advertisements of fifty
or sixty kinds come pouring in; when news
from all parts and of all kinds, from ship
news to court news, from finance to fine
arts, from local news to cable news, from
religious news to horse races, the small item
and the long article, 'copy" in every con-
ceivable shape and in every imaginable
order of arrival have to be dealt with, classi-
fed and put in their proper places. in the
pages, the labor is increased to an extent
which only the highly trained journalist
can appreciate, and which the ordinary
book printer, not to speak of the general
public, cannot imagine. We have, of
course, here only referred to the printers
part of the work. Astonishing, however,
as this has proved to those who have exam
ined it most minutely, we may say that
further demands upon our space will be
cheerfully met by increased efforts, and if,
in order to give all the news, we are COM
PEELED to print a sextuple sheet, even that
will be done. Further than this it is not
necessary to promise at present.

The WEATHER. elongated depression
that extended from Manitoba to the Cult has
now contracted around u centre moving through
the Ohio Valley, with rain on its eastern and
snow on its northern and northwestern margins.
The winds are brisk to moderate, and are from
the eastward over the lake region and from the
north and northwest beyond the Mississippi
River. Strong westerly winds prevail over the
Southern States, where the pressure continues
relatively low. The temperature has risen in the
northwestern and central valley regions, but
has fallen elsewhere more less. Tho low
barometer that passed off the coast on
Friday has ceased to influence the wind
currents in the Middle States, but
causes strong northcrly winds In the eastern
districts. Cloudiness generally prevails, except
In New Brunswick aud on the coast OF Maine,
and over small areas in the West and Southwest.
The weather in New York and its vicinity to-
day will be cloudy aud warmer, with rain and
increasing casterly to southerly winds. To-
morrow it will be cloudy and somewhat cooler,
will, rain, followed by colder and gradually
clearing weather.

knight Errantry ana Hydrophobi u

One of the Injuries that few communities
can possess in this material and commercial
age is a knight errant; yet it would not be
difficult to show that a knight errant is an
excellent and valuable possession. How
often, indeed, does the sympathetic person
find reason to wish that the daily events
might be judged rather on the honest stand
ard of Quixote than in accordance with
the practical views Of our prosaic time
Ordinarily this would be ridiculous
aspiration, and yet not always Here is
this Brooklyn story of an outrage done in
numbering poor woman's pet With the
perversity born Of too much whiskey q man,
perhaps not worse than others when he is
sober, leases poor little dog and it snaps
at him. Terrible crime this on the part Of
the dog that only the forfeiture of it's life
can purge. In his rage the man gets
hatchet and with violent circumstances of
pursuit md capture slaughters the small
beast whose life is precious only to
n mistress too feeble to defend it.
It is evident that everyday lew
has no standards by which to. measure this
offence and ordinary life no machinery by
which to enforce the penalty that common
indignation would like to see applied If
there were o knight errant here on his
stout charger, poking his long lance into the
merits of this case, and with his ready de-
termination on the sentiment of justice
and not on the husks of justice that arc
found in the statutes, we feel that it would
fill the bill And there is! there is |!

such of these that can affect in any way the
plans for improving the Harlem River. As
the value OF the new channel will depend
on its being entirely clear of distractions
it is to be hoped that tbe proposed bridging
OF the river at several points will not be
permitted to be carried out so rs to inter-
fere with navigation. The fine but some
what unnecessary High Bridge already
presents serious obstacle to the
cpening of ship canal. 1t was
designed to carry the Croton water
into New York, and without any regard
to the possible opening of the Harlem
River for large vessels. A want OF foresight
has, therefore, created something like an
engineering problem in connection with
the proposed improvement. Its solution is.
of course, not difficult, but it may prove ex-
pensive. We cite the case to show that the
realization Of i'll considered projects may
mar or at least limit great improvements,
and that the utmost care should be taken to
guard against the erection of other struc-
lures that can in any way interfere with the
navigability OF ship canal via the Harlem
River. Wherever tunnels under the
river can be excavated with advantage
and at not too great a cost they
should be preferred to bridges. Whatever
changes are necessary in the details of the
plans should not be made at the expense of
free navigation, which is the great object of
the proposed improvement. The interest
now centred in this work should not
be allowed to decrease, but every effort be
directed to securing its early completion.
New York has undertaken many great
works that reflect the highest credit on her
people, but none can excel in Importance
to her most vital interests that of opening
the Harlem River from the Sound to the
Hudson. The advocacy of the scheme
from a national standpoint by New
York representatives in Congress is
hopeful sign that it will soon receive
the practical support it deserves The
bills introduced in the Senate and House
of Representatives by Senator Conkling
and MIR. Willis respectively for an ap-
preparation Of five hundred thousand dol
lars to commence the improvement of the
Harlem River on General Newton's plan
are regarded with favor, but action on the
House bill is delayed pending the considera-
tion of that in the Senate. 1t is claimed, as
our dispatches state, that the appropriation
asked for is too large in view Of the
demand for another to continue the
He'll Gate operations. But this plea
is based on very narrow view
of the merit Of both undertakings. The
opposition to an appropriation for local
improvement in New York Harbor, which
might have been expected to come from the
West, has been in this case entirely sus-
pended. The people of the interior States
properly recognize in the work proposed
one that must bring them many advantages
by facilitating the shipments Of freight, as
we'll us shortening the time Of transit. 1t
is, therefore, the duty of Congress to en-
courage the prosecution Of the Harlem
River improvement without any further
delay, as the interests to be benefited are
those of the whole country.

Popo LeO,s Policy.

The allocution delivered in tho Consis-
tory on Thursday last by Pope Leo reaches
us in the form Of an abstract, with COM
ments made by the Roman correspondent
Of the London Times, and fully confirms
our view of, the. determination of His Holi-
ness to be religious Pope in the admins
tmtive sense of the term. He takes the
political situation as he finds it, and if he
can ease the relations between Catholics
and their rulers in the countries where
Cathoiicity has been the centre of politi-
cal movement more or less hostile to the
State he will be satisfied. By ceasing
to give forth the cry of the martyr he will
put the Catholics all over the world in
better temper and will rely upon this to
make the governments less harsh to and less
suspicious of their citizens who have looked
Romeward when they wanted to look heaven
ward. We do not completely share the
views of the correspondent that Pope Leo
will shelve the dogma of infallibility. In
viting the counsel of the Sacred College is
no more than putting in words what the
late Pope did in fact To our mind
it simply shows that Leo XIII. will not en-
deavor to make the dogma an excuse for the
wild things that have been said about it,
His decision on any religious question, he
seeks to intimate, will be none the less in
fallble for having been approved before
hand by the oldest and wisest priests of the
Catholic Church. 1t is infallibility made

The Dny of Fools.

Tomorrow is the day set apart for being
funny Of set purpose. People are expected
on the 1st Of April to laugh at aflronts and
tricks which would be legitimate occasion
for anger and expetives on any other day
in the year. 1t is not SGT down that spon-
taneous good humor should be the gift of
everybody, and hence it is that the majority
of people when they undertake to be droll
use very crude methods. They con-
struct jokes of which it is very
hard to see the fun. If they are
at the expense of others the abnormal
iokers are satisfied. This is the only shape
in which serious people like the Ameri-
cans can enter as body into funmaking.
You cannot induce them to make fools Of
themselves like the Neapolitans or the
Romans, but give everybody a chance at his
neighbor and the result of universal tom
foolery will be reached just the same. The
runaway ring at the door bell, the tempting
stovcpipe hat on the sidewalk with its toe
splitting brick, tho newspaper pinned to q
stately persons coat tails, the street arabs
pretence of stealinga tat mans handkerchief,
arc all in this line. We violate no
confidence in saying that these things
will be done tomorrow, because they
have been done 80 often before, but the
new efforts to be made in the same direc-
ton we studiously conceal. If President
Hayes was to send in civil service reform
message nobody would believe in it, so we
hope he won't it is too old a joke. There
