those articles the Russian troops are
to withdraw in three months after the
definite conclusion of peace" By this
phrase the Russiars clearly understand
the making of that defnitive treaty as to
which the Sultan's Ministers have been so
slow. Adrianople is within the territory
which the Russians thus have the right to
occupy-and which they probably will oc-
cupy-until the Sultan pays this war in
demnity OF gives them guarantees with re-
gard to it.
Lord Beaconsfsed appears to have spoken
as indefinitely of the trouble with the
Ameer of Cabul-the other great blum
der Of the time--as of the failure to stip-
ulate for a withdrawal Of the Russians
from Turkish territory. He said that ''the
rectifcation of the northwestern frontier of
India would increase England's power and.
prosperity" but if Mr.. Layard succeeds
in his efforts to embroil England with Rus
sia in Europe the Ameer is likely to take
such action as may rectify that frontier on
the wrong side the line.

The campbells ON the water.

The farewell Of the Marquis of Lorne to
old England, as described in our cable de-
spatches, was something which will doubt
less fix itself pleasantly in his memory.
The presence of SO many members of the
royal family gave an eclat to the event

probably prevent the lines from being SO

Quarrels OF tho Temperance Apostles

Quarrels OF tho Temperance Apostles.
Unions and associations formed to pro-
mote the cause of temperance and the efforts
Of individuals directed toward the same
object are all commendable and deserve en-
courogement. But the first duty Of mission
aries who preach temperance to others is to
practise temperance in all things them
selves. When the apostles Of the good cause
indulge in abuse of each other and conduct
barroom than to q meeting Of Christian phi
lanthropists they infict more injury on the
temperance movement than it could ever
receive Mt the hands of its enemies.
It matters little which side may be in
the right or which in the wrong in the
quarrel that has arisen between Mr. Mundy
and his hackers and Mr.. Shaffer and his
friends. The former publicly charge
brother with violating his pledge Of alb
stinence and using profane language in
church, and insiuuate that the popular tenn
perance revivalist, Mr.. Murphy, requires to
be advertised, like Mr.. Booth or any other
star actor, and to be well paid for his SER
vices DeIOre ne Will eullSb In campaign.
There is much malice in this insinuation,
for Mr.. Murphy seems to be doing
good service in reforming intempernte
people by his pathetic appeals, and
the idea that the tears he sheds and the
earnestness he displays are paid for after
the fashion ofa star actors impersonations
is not likely to increase his usefulness in
the missionary line. The best advice any
one can offer to the quarrelsome and ap-
parently jealous members of the Temper
ance Union is to retire from the association,
even if they 60 into the liquor business.
They certainly could infict no greater in
jury on the temperance cause than they do
by remaining in the Union, slandering its
members, discrediting the sincerity Of its
apostles and in the expressive words OF one
OF their associates, furnishing nuts for the
liquor sellers to crack

Mr.. Talmage's "Facts."

It was to be hoped that when the Rev. Mr..
Talmage left off recitingthe immoral things
he had seen in his midnight trip through
New York and turned to give the. world
his views upon New York's pauperism we
should have heard something Of value even
if little luridly colored. It has been sus-
pected that this holy man on his run through
the haunts OF vice and misery was
'guyed" by his guides, that. in fact,
they took profane delight in giving him
information of kind not authentic A
correspondent, with scarcely pardonable
anxiety for the good fame OF this city, writes
to us respecting Mr.. Talmage's statement
that one hun dred and seventy thousand
families in New York sleep fourteen in
room on the bare floor or a heap of straw.
Our correspondent thinks this is untrue.
It is. That makes no difference to Mr.
Talmage In 1875 there were in all two hun
dred and thirteen thousand four hundred
and sixty-seven families in New York there
are few more in 1878, in spite OF the hard
times. That two out of every three families
in this city live in such squalor ought to be
difficult even tor Mr. Talmago to swallow,
although his great capacity has been long
unauestioned. That three persons out OF
every ten in New York live on charity will
probably strike somebody else as doubtful,
but we beg Of him not to write to us on the
subject. 1t should be distinctly under
stood that we do not propose to
contradict all the inaccuracies OF Mr.
Talmage; it is bad enough to print
them. He probably serves some purpose
in the plan of an inscrutable Providence.
When he breaches on pauperism his facts
may be as contorted as his waving limbs !;
his remedies may be as puerile as police
mans .'theories," bat lie at least does not
draw such pictures as are likely to stimu-
late desire on the part Of the young MEM
bers to try little poverty on their own
account. We could not say this when ne

General sherman ON the Indians.


The Indians fight, says General Sher-
man, because they would rather fight than
starve. They go on the warpath because
the government, which has made them pau
pers, does not give them enough to eat. He
is right Captain Jack. df the Modocs, said
ing horse !" which meant simply that the
government agents, who were supposed to
supply beef to the Modocs, found it more
profitable to feed them with the meat of old
horses.
In this way it is s'no great trick" as they
say out West, to get up an Indian war. 1t
would be easy to create revolt in almost
any poorhouse on the same terms. Starve
the paupers and they will fight, especially
if they have had notice before hand and have
been allowed to buy EARNS of precision"
and accumulate ponies for "a CAM
paign. General Sherman remarks that
the white people have use for all the land,
and that there is less and less room for the
Indians every year, which is also true A
nomadic tribe living by hunting requires,
as has been calculated, about two thousand
six hundred acres for each man, woman and
child to.yield them a comfortable support;
and at this rate it is not wonderful that the
advance Of the settlements presses on the
means of subsistence Of the Indians.
The Indians are increasing in numbers,
says Colonel Mallery; and they must be
more skilfully handled, says General Sher-
man. But SO long as they are forcibly ag-
gregated into tribes by the federal power,
and treated not as individuals, but as COM
munities or nations, SO long they will be
abused, and when they can no longer bear
the abuse will fight. It may be good be-
ginning to get wild tribe on reservation;
but it is only O beginning, and as soon as
they are there the policy should look
to getting them off it again. As an
individual the Indian is harmless and
will presently become useful; but the
reservation system makes it the interest of
q great number of greedy and unscrupulous
men to prevent him from becoming an indi-
vidual We agree with much that General
Sherman says, but the true policy with the
Indians requires that they shall be made
individually self-sastaining as rapidly as
possible and that every effort should be
made to get them of the reservations and
open for them ways for each man or family
to earn an individual livelihood. Instead
of that the present system has been shame
fully misused to compel numbers of In
dians, already peaceably living by useful
toll, to abandon the homes they had made
and be cooped up on reservations. That is
the grave and fatal fault of the reservation
system.

Lord Salisbury Retracts.

In his despatch of November z TO Mr..
Welsh Lord Salisbury remarks that he did
not intend to be understood in previous
despatch - having. seven by inference"
justified the Newfoundland fishermen in
their attack upon our people, or that an act
Of a colonial legislature could be held to in
validate treaty provision or abrogate
treaty rights. This is the view we took it
for granted he would take whenever the
question was brought plainly before him.
"Her Majesty's government will readily ad-
mit," he writes, s'what is indeed self-svi-
dent, that British sovereignty as regards
these matters is limited in its scope by the
engagements of the Treaty of Washington,
which cannot be modified or affected by any
municipal legislation"
That is all right, and ends the contro-
versy as rybody knew it would end.
Now. Mr. Evarts will pay over his five and
a half millions like gentleman" rs
Lord Dufferin neatly put it, and Lord Sails
bury will consider the claims of our fisher
men for damages suffered by Me lawless
violence of the Newfoundland men. These
claims amount to over one hundred thou
sand dollars, and we have no doubt they
will be paid when they are proved. AS the
frontiersnan said, when threatening dis
pute had been amicably adjusted by mutual
apologies. ''There's no fight, boys; you can
all go home"
1t grieves us. however, to see in the Mon
treal lua q view of the fishery award
which, we trust, is not that of our Canadian
neighbors generally. 'It is not often, :"
says the 1Mau, s'that the Yankee nation is
stuck in an arbitration or on treaty, for
its representatives are not only cute but
an unscrupulous generation, who think it
patriotic duty to overreach, evep by means Of
bogus maps, old fogy statesmen OF Europe.
who have certain scruples against resorting
to that sort of diplomacy. But they are
fairly let in this time, and if they have
any desire to stand well with foreign ma
tions they will pay up on the Oath and
show the world that public morality and
national honor are not wholly extinct among
them" It is evidently fortunate that the
British, and not the Canadians, are to receive
the five and q half millions for it is de-
sirable on all grounds, not only that we
shall 'spay like gentleman" but that the
other side shall receive our money 'like
gentleman" and not like man who is re-
joicing openly at having successfully per-
petrated a swindle.

Body Snatchinx.

One of the reasons given by the police for
the want of especial attention to city grave
yards is that ''body snatching has gone out
Of fashion = which. in the rough, is true
for this neighborhood, since the theft Of
body like that of Mr. Stewart is apart from
the ordinary offence of that name and its
motives differ widely from the ordinary
temptation held out for the supply of ana
tomical material But there is plenty of
recent evidence that the police do not per-
init themselves TO possess any knowledge
Of facts outside Of their respective precincts
if they do not know that at this present
time ''body snatching" is not out of fashion,
but in many places not far away is an oc-
cupation pursued with energy and success.
1t has not gone out Of fashion-it has only
gone West for did not o policeman at
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, yesterday capture wagon
containing the bodies of s'four prominent
citizens who have been buried since Mon
day?" Perhaps there are wagons like that
on all the roads in Ohio; for since
the President concluded the appointments
he made Just after he went into Office we
haven't had word Of news about the people
of Ohio except in respect to the persistency
with which 'rascals dig them up and sell
them to the doctors. But it is not only in
Ohio that this ancient industry is main
tanned in full vigor, if we may accept as
facts the things sworn to in a recent murder
trial in Connccticut where not only body
snatching was shown to exist, but the more
dreadful institution OF Burking. There are
two remedies, one Of which must be pur-
sued by all communities that wish to pre-
serve decorum in their raveyards--crema-
ton nnnst be adopted in place Of burial, or
boys must be sent TO study anatomy in
great cities, where legal provision is made
for the supply Of material.

New Men i'm the Next Congress.

or the 14S democrats elected to the Forty
sixth Congress 53 are new men. Or the l33
republicans elected "a are new men. This
excludes men who have served in previous
Congresses, such as General Hayley in Con-
necticut. Ihe eight greenbackers are all
new men, and the Forty-sixth Congress will
have therefore 1l5 new members out of a
total of 293. Twenty-one Of the 53 new
democrats are from Northern States.
1t follows that the greater part of the
Forty-sixth Congress will be composed Of
experienced members. Some States, like
Mississippi and West Virginia, have re-
elected the whole Of their present dele
cations others, like Massachusetts,, South
Carolina, Texas and Louisiana, have
changed but one or two. New York will
send 1s inexperienced Legislators, Pennsyl-
yania 10, Ohio s, Missouri 0 and Illinois z.
A State which keeps one delegation in
Congress for number of years inevitably
gains largely in influence in the national
council, even il its representatives are not
conspicuously able men, and political
party which keeps its men in Congress for
a term of years can make itself felt, even if
it is in the minority in the House. 1t takes
n new member almost the whole of his term
to learn the ways of the House, and 1t is
scarcely ever before his second term that
he is able to make his influence felt over
the body, though there have been some
notable exceptions to this rule, for conspic-
uous ability tells in the House even against
its traditions and rules.
