prosecuting officers and the courts. 1t is
only in exceptional cases that the lawmak-
ing power is expected to step out OF its
ordinary sphere and supervise the prac-
tical working of the administration. Even
in many cases of fraud Congress may prop
erly stand aloof. for if the District Attorney
is doing his duty, or if the President, find
ing that he neglects it, removes him, there
is nothing about which Congress need
trouble itself. These eighteen smelling
committees" are not needed for any useful
purpose of legislation, and nobody believes
that evidence will be found to justify eigh-
teen impeachments. This business of in
vestigation is getting to be SO overdone as to
become itself an abuse. Since Mr.. Woods
resolution was destined to pass we are sorry
that the amendment was rejected which in
cluded the expenses and accounts of former
committees of the kind within the scope OF

A cr,.,. in European Politics.

A highly significant announcement is
made from Constantinople to an English
journal which, if true. indicates that q
crisis has arisen in the settlement of the
Eastern question. 1t is to the effect that
the German and Italian Ambassadors
have informed the Porte that in the event
of British feet going to the Golden
Horn the German and Italian governments
will also demand the right to be repre-
sented by their fleets before the Turkish
capital. This is the first direct announce
ment that these neutral Powers conceive
that they have interests in the East
which require protection as we'll as
those of Great Britain. What if these
interests clash with those Of England? In
sending their armed ships to Constantinople
Germany and Italy will prove that they
are determined to take prominent part in
the settlement of the Eastern question.
The military situation south ofthe Balkans
may be summed up in few words. All the
region lying westward from the Jamboli
Railroad, which leads southwark from
the base of the mountains to Adrianople
nople and Philippopolis Railroad, is now
virtually in the hands of the Russians.
The Turkish troops that are scattered over
this region are in small. detachments and
entirely cut off from supports or supplies.
Hence the Turkish defence is now
limited to the covering Of Constan-
tinople. Adrianople is almost wholly
defenceless, being large, open city.
Any attempt at holding it against
the Russian arms would be attended with
consequences highly disastrous to Turkey,
as it would indefinitely postpone success
ful effort in the direction of peace. The
Russian army, now that the prize is within
it's grasp, will not stay its hand, but will
demand that all the fruits of its sacrifices
and victories shall be gathered.

Is II Sol

1t is stated that the president and direct
ors of the Brooklyn Bank have united in a
letter requesting that Gilbert l.. Whiting,
their late bookkeeper who last spring
robbed the bank of one hundred and
sixty-four thousand dollars, may be al
lowed to 60 free and not be prosecuted.
When Writings crime was discovered he
surrendered what money he had and ex-
posed the fact that the paying teller was
also defrauding the institution. The latter
made restitution and was never arrested.
This is, of course, very pleasant arrange
ment for the dishonest bookkeeper and
teller They escape the State Prison, and no
doubt have taken care that their restitution
should not beggar them. The reason given
for the proposed leniency toward Whiting
is singular one. His mental condition,
the bank officers say, lis such that it will
not do to subject him to severe punishment
for his own as we'll as for his family's
sake" This is novel plea in arrest Of

More Trouble iu Spain.

An invasion of Spain by her most re-
doubtable enemy is now openly threatened,
and the land of the Cid trembles at the
wrath of a woman scorned, a queen en-.
ragged and a mother requested to stay away.
Isabella has sworn the irrevocable oath of
potentate at large that she will be present
at the ceremony Of marriage between her
SOP, Alfonso the Unwise and the fair Mer-
cedes. She has the best reason in the world
for desiring to go, which is that they don't
want her there, and have asked her not to
come. She has in the bride no other interest
than that Of hatred for one whose name
keeps alive the memory of the great intrigue
that desolated her own lite She has
no other interest in the bridegroom
than that he is her son-a fact
which may be accepted rs justifying in
some degree the contempt with which she
regards him. But though she does not care
for either of the parties, but rather the con-
trary, and though she has no special regard
for the institution of marriage or any of the
mere ceremonies associated with it, and
must be too decidedly blasf to have any re-
gard to the occasion as n mere show, vet they
have said she shall not come, and, therefore.
she has determined that no merely human OBJ
stacles shall keep her away. AS the impulse
Of mere perversity is the noblest that ever in
fluenced the actions of this woman, and rs
under that influence she has kicked up some
famous rumpuses in Spain, there is no know
ing what grave events may flow from her
latest determination to defy the whole armed
force of the Spanish government. But if she
goes to that marriage and gets away again
to be the source of fresh scandals abroad she
will not be the most ridiculous figure in this
comic drama.

A Trfu m d hal Journey.

The honors paid to Henry M. Stanley on
his triumphal journey toward Paris and
London are OF gratifying and fattering
character, although no greater than the
merits Of the famous traveller, his wonder
ful successes and the important public
services he has rendered deserve. He
reached Rome on Saturday, and his arrival
in that now mourning city was the occa-
sion of q most interesting and touching
incident. He was received by the Presi-
dent of the Italian Geographical Society,
who presented him with gold medal OF
merit by order of Victor Emmanuel, in
scribed ''Enrico Stanley, the Intrepid
African Explorer, and an autograph sealed
letter from the dead King, over whose yet
unburied remains the Italian nation weeps.
In this letter Victor Emmanuel expresses
the most fattering appreciation Of the
geographical discoveries made by Stan
ley and of the services he has rem
dered to the cause Of humanity and
civilization. It is most signal mark Of
esteem and honor that the late King should
have prepared before his death such reoog-
milton of the achievements of the African
explorer. In addition to this high and in
teresting compliment messages of welcome
to Italy were transmitted to Stanley from
Turin, Milan and Naples, and he was enter
tanned at grand banquet in the evening by
Baron Telfener. He starts from Marseilles
for Paris to-day

A Talk with Pre- stdent Dtoz.

President Diaz, in an interesting conver-
sation with the HERALD's special correspond
ent at the city of Mexico, published to-
day, criticises the hesitation OF the United
States to recognize his government, and
makes what he no doubt regards rs good
argument why such recognition should at
once be made. The Mexican ruler does not
look upon the border troubles as any
serious obstacle to cordial relations be-
tween the two governments. Mexico,
he says, has just sent between
six and seven thousand regulars to
the border to prevent raiding or stealing on
the part of its own citizens, and as the
United States will keep five thousand troops
on the Rio Grande line he believes that be-
tween the two forces peace can be pre-
served and all unlawful acts prevented
The Presidents evident wish to see the
brigand Cortina continue in prison is also
n favorable sign of his sincere desire to put
n stop to the depredations of Mexican cat
tie thieves on the border. But he sees
difficulties in the way Of a recognition of
his government by the United States, grow
ing out Of the wish Of our government to
exact from him certain pledges as o condi-
ton thereto, and he affects a sort of high
handed indifference about it which he evil
IDENTIFY does not feel, and which his anxiety
on the subject proves to be assumed.
President Diaz asserts that our govern
ment wishes him to promise, among other
things, as condition precedent to recogni-
ton, that American citizens in Mexico shall
be exempt from forced loans. To this he
replies, ''How can we promise before you
recognize us as government? If we are
not government We cannot make treaty
with you. Recognize us, and then
we will entertain your propositions.
There is some apparent reason in
this, but it is, after all, an evasion.
Forced loans are Of doubtful constitu-
tionalty under decision Of the Mexican
Supreme Court, and We may we'll require
to be assured that our citizens will no
longer be subjected to oppressive and
illegal acts before we recognize u govern
ment which stands on on irregular or revo-
lutionary footing. If that is all the OBJ
stacle in the way of recognition the ease
with which it could be swept away by Diaz
excites the suspicion that the failure to re-
move it is not due alone to false sense of
dignity. Unless President Diaz feels un-
certain as to his disposition or power to
carry out the pledge after recognition it
does not seem likely that he would hesitate
to make it in advance.

The Central Park.

The opinion is nearly universal among
intelligent men that the decision of the
Park Commissioners to dispense with the
services of Mr.. Olmsted is blunder. Yes
terday we printed vigorous protest from
Mr.. Wales, q former president of parks,
and to-day we publish a letter on the same
subject from Mr.. Martin, the late presi-
dent. One Of the points made by Mr..
Martin deserves particular attention
namely, that the Central Park is not COM
pleted work SO long as its trees shall not have
attained full growth. When the Park was
started it was the most bare and unsightly
piece of ground on the island. At first it
had to be covered with thickly planted
small trees and shrubs to give it such beauty
as was possible with foliage which could not
in many years rise to the majesty of groves.
The planting had to be done with reference
not merely to present beauty but to large
future removals which would make new
and more magnificent series of COM
bined pictures by method like
that practised by sculptor. Some fanci-
full writer has said that the finest
statue already existed in the block of mar
BILE, and that Phidias or Praxiteles only
took away the encrusting stone which con-
cealed it. But this mere phantasy about o
statue is the literal truth respecting piece
Of landscape gardening like the Central
Park. What the Park is ultimately to be
when it's trees are grown was pictured in
the mind Of Mr. Olmsted when he planted
it, and it is by skilfuly taking away
considerable part of them with
the progress of their growth that a
series of successive pictures, resulting in
the final crowning picture, can be brought
out. You might rs well set a stone cutter
to uncover the statue which Story would
find in block of marble as to expect city
politicians filling the Office of Park Com
missioners to find the stretches of grove and
landscape which Mr.. Olmsted had in his
minds eye when he planted so many trees
that will in time become the mere clippings
to reveal the image.
