Don Piatt's pungent pen punctures the
"Oho idea" thusly-

The Ohio idea, so called, is as old politics.
1t means to find out what the people most desire
and promise to grant the same after the election.
1t is always promised and never granted.

editorial on >herman's reply to THURMAN
as follows
The Secretary dcmolishes Senator Thr.rmans
arguments in favor of aholishng the national bank
circulation and substituting greenbacks. In the
first place there is no constitutional authority 10
issue legal tender notes in time of peace la the
next place Congress pledged the faith OF tie COY
eminent not to issue an amount exceeding four
hundred million dollars In the third place, the
government has promised to redeem the green
backs. and would forfeit the promise by doubling
the amount and making it permanent IN the
fourth place, specie payments would be ilnpoSSl
bic if the Treasury had to keep the enormous re
serve of coin that would be requisite for redeem
ing seven hundred million dollars of greenbackS.
Secretary Sherman makes it clear that Mr.. Thur
mans arguments are not the reasoning Of states
man but the sophistry of politician.

Concordia, Missouri, has about 800
inhabitants The principal banking bus
mess of all that part of Lafayette county
is done by the Concordia savings bank.
Yesterday, at half-pas one, three men
entered the bank and one asked the
cashier who was alone, to change so
bill. While he vas changing it, another
jumped over the counter, caught the
cashier by the arm and placed his hand
over the cashiers mouth. They then
took what money there was in sight, and
putting a pistol to the cashiers head
told him to open the safe. He did 50,
and the robbers took all the paper money
in the safe, between $4,000 and $1,000,
refusing to take the silver, of which there
was between 81 600 and $1,000 During
the robbery a gentleman came near the
bank, and the robber guarding the door
called to him to advance. Instead of do
ing 50, he ran. The robbcr fired but
missed him. They then mounted horses
and galloped Oft. The robbery occupied
about ten minutes They were all mount
ed on good horses. The citizens are in hot
pursuit.

Russians plan In Case eff War.

LONDON, April 16-Pro. Russian adyices
from Constantinople say that in the event Of
war Russia's action will be governed by Aus
trials attitude. If Austria is neutral Russia
will undoubtedly seize the Bosphorus. IF Aus
tria should prove an enemy it is doubtful
whether the Russians will try to hold the Bos.
phorus or anything south of Adrianople. They
will perhaps even abandon Turkey entirely ex-
cept the fortresses and attack Austria from
Galacia, Roumania and Bosnia
Turkish Forces at Constantine pie.
Other Constantinople advices say the Turks
have 10000 men around the city and 1900
at Gallipoli, and would resent an attempt TO en-
ter the capital But the attitude of the gov
eminent is eXpectant and the present dispose
ton is to abide by the treaty of San Stefano
and observe neutrality, defending herself if
menaced, Prince Mersk Generals SkObeloff
and Gourko and other officers are at Pera.
About so soldiers daily from the guards and
sixteenth division visit Constantinope in uni
form. Fever is prevalent.
The Pail Mail Gazette's COMPETENCY.
The Pail Mall Gazette's leading editorial says:
Whether Prince Bismsrck's proposals succeed
or fail we have no reason to disturb ourselves
about the situation. We are strong in the JUS
tice of our diplomatic position and can afford
to wait until our material strength begins to
tell in support of 1t by way of q merely passive
presence. If Russia accedes to our stipulations
for the congress, well and good. 1t will be
held and we shall begin to put our hands to the
most arduous piece of International work that
has been attempted in Europe since the begin
ming of the century. If Russia refuses to ac-
cede to those terms there is no necessity for us
to declare war against her. and it is the last
degree improbable that the government will re-
sort to declaration of war. 1t win be suffi-
Gent for them to continue their ornaments, to
occupy certain points of territory not necessari-
ly provocative of the collision with Russian
forces and keep Russia in her present position
with an uurecognized treaty in her possession
but no other gain from the war but such as she
can retain by actual physical possession at ruin
ously increasing cost and there let her remain
until she returns to the sense OF her duty to
Europe.

Query.

Under some engravings of the celebrated
fresco by Guido in the RospglIosi Palace are
found the lines:
.Quadrijugis invectus equis Sol aureus exit,
Cui septem variis crcumstant vestibus horp.
Lucifer antevolat. Rapid fuge lampada soils,
Aurora umbrarum victrix, ne victa recedas.
which may be roughly rendered into Eng
lish as follows:
Borne by four harnessed steeds the golden Sun goes
forth,
Round whom the seven hours in varied garments
stand. ~.
The morning star leads all. Fly the fierce solar
blaze,
Dawn, of shades the victor, lest thou yanquished
be.
Who was the author of the Latin lines? A
distinguished professor of the Latin language
tells me that he has, within brief time past,
read every line extant of Latin verse written
before A d. 400, and that he knows that these
lines are by later writer. Does any one
know who the later writer was? @.
