The wicked strikers pet a dea1

The wicked strikers get a deal Of
preaching to on all hands. But moth
ing in particular is said about the vir-
tuous railway corporations, which
formed a union and raised the price Of
coal from SIPS IA 1873 to IS in 1877. 1t
is highly improper for workingmen to
combine together to secure fair wages,
but highly moral and praisewOrthy for
railways to combine and double the
price of one Of the great necessities Of
modern life. In one case it is the cor
porations which are struck, in the other
case it is the people. But then it seems
to be thought perfectly legitimate and
virtuous to strike the people for the
benefit Of a corporation.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
Mr.. Edmunds' Amendment.

WILMINGToS, January a. Mr.. Edmunds'
amendment was offered in the Senate to-day, in
full:
BE it enacted, &c.
That all the bonds of the United States issued
OF authorized to be issued under the acts of con-
gress, are payable prime ipal and interest in gold
com or Its equivalent, and that any other payment
without the consent of the creditor, would he in
violation OF the public faith, aud in derogation Of
his rights
that tie total coinage OF the silver dollar has been
IS 0i5 ,S3S, and
Whereas the silver dollar of the United States
had been long absolutely obsolete as any substan-
tal pant OF money of the country, and that which
had been so coined WAS almost entirely converted
into other forms of metal and did not exist at the
time OF the making of any Of the existing loans
OF the United States, or those from which the ex-
sting loans had been funded, and
Whereas by the provisions of the coinage act
OF 1873, passed on the 18th of February of that
year, and Of the revised statutes enacted on the
first of December Of that year, all provisions of
the law authorizing the coinage OF such silver
dollar were repealed, ard
Whereas since the passage Of said last men
toned acts gold coin, which by reason of the
premises, has been the only existing lawful com
tender, and standard of value for all payments
above the sum of five dollars, as it had been the
only one in fact for many years before, the
L nlted States has borrowed in gold coin from the
people OF this aud other countries, the sum of not
less than 592 800 million dollars, rate of i'll
terest lower Than that of any loan ever before
made by the government and payable IN coin,
and
Whereas holders Of all government securities
have right TO expect that however much the
United states may change its laws so a. in fact to
affect their interests iayoraby, it will never eyade
or repesl favorable leg islston either for the pur
pose or with the effect to make money at the ex-
pense of its creditors, and
Where as differing from the Transactions of af-
fairs between private persons, the creditors have
no means OF enforcing payment Of their loans, it
IS duty OF the highest obligation on the part of
the United States, to pay its debts in such a maE-
ner as to meet the just eI pcctations of its credit
ors, aud to refrain from taking advantage of the
chespness of silver, by revising either obsolete
coins OF repealed coinage laws III order to provide
for the payments in silver, and
Whereas the substantial present value of the
silver in dollar of Az l2 grains is only ninety
two per cent. oil the value OF dollar OF gold, It
would also be unjust for the law making power
by new Legislation 10 compel all private creditors
10 receive from their debtors SUCH silver dollar
at par in payment of pIe-e1isting debts and
equally unjust and even more cruel to compel the
great humber OF citizens of the United States

celse pay Aent Tor their work money either de

VICTOR EMMANUEL.
The People Stunned by his Death.
THE SITUATION IN ITALY.

LONDON, January IA. The correspondent OF
the Times at Rome writes
"Since the day of Count Cavours death 10 Tur-
in, have never seen the population of any city
50 utterly stunned by a sudden blow as the Ro-
mans appeared when the official announcement
Of the Kings death removed every doubt rs to
the fearful loss the nation had sustained. Cor
tainly the transition from father TO could not
have occurred at a more trying moment.
The ministers Of the late sovereign have been
maintained in their offices by his young success
sor, but what ministers are n cabinet which was a
mere rehash of an admin str alton fallen only q
few days ago under an irresistible outburst Of
public indig nation. Forsaken by nearly all sec
tons of an immense parliamentary ma jorv
brought together by fair means or foul, at the re-
cent election, and hampeled by variety of rash
engagements which ii had shown itself neither
able or willing to fulfill.
We must have a new session Of parliament and
come from a new king who hardly knows any
thing about his late fathers IN nsters and does
not much like the little he knows, and 10 supposed
to harbor views and principles in opposition to
those attributed TO them.
If ever there was need of prov dence TO shape
the ends rough hewn by men, 1t certainly is felt
in the position in which Italy has been put by the
death of Victor Emmanuel, coming so unexpect-
eddy at the end OF beginning of most unsatis-
factory ministerial crisis, and almost hopeless di-
vision of parties in unfairly elected and still more
unscrupuously corrupted parliament. Personally
Humbelt comes to the throne under favorable
auspices.

O'Brisn and DavItt, stepped out OF the tlain they

carried on the shoulders ofthe crowd to carriages
As the prisoners emerged from the door of the

chorus.

They leave for Kezonlik to day to meet Grand

1t is reported that Russia has satisfactorily ex-
planned to Enk land the terms upon which peace
can be concluoed with Turkey.
NEW YORK, January IA. London Kiernans
special says The impression Is increasing there
that srnistice negotiations between Turkey and
Russia will break down. The terms are regarded
AS being too Oneious.
Schovaotf IS about to vacate the Russian en-
bassy and Count OIlOh will probably succeed
him.
London special says crisis in the East is
near at hand The situation has become greatly
complicated within the past few hours Italy and
Germany suddenly brought England face to face
with new issue more startling TO her people than
any event since the beginning of the war.
The unQueshOned dominance of Russia in the
field has forced Eng land TO order her fleet from
Malta to Its old anchorage in Besks Bay, with
the presumed intention OF entering the Daiden-
elles at an early day.
Germany and Italy suddenly declare they have

Bismarck's policy is made clearer. He is de.
termined England shall not perform acts really
warlike, uaess she arrays herself As Russias open
enemy. She shall not 90 TO Gallpoli except as
the active ally OF the Turks. The Importance of
the action oil these two nations cannot be exag-
gerated.
This sudden re appearance of Italy as a Medt-
erranesu power Indicates that the government OF
King Humbert LIST is disposed to assert Italy's
claims to Il controlling influence in Eastern poll
tics.
