Ghazi Osman Pacha is determined that IL
will be no fault of his If the Crooks escape
punishment for demanding Janina as their
share Of the despoilment of tho Turk, and
the Greeks are acting as If their whole de-
sire was to come to blows with the defender
of Plevna. Where the bellicose spirit is
thus rccprocated, and there is no one to
stop between, a fight is easily tho conse-
quence. We have said that Austria would
not be averse to a war between these par
ties, and the cable has confirmed our belief.
Hence, although we learn that all tho
Powers are talking at once to Greece
and Turkey In the interests of some peace
able arrangement, the pressure is of very
ineffective kind. Lord Salisbury has said
to NJ Waddington that he would do all in
his power to bring about tho cession of
Janina to Greece. For England to send
ships or legions to enforce it Is altogether
another thing. Eastern Roumelia Is repre-
sented to bo in chaotic state, and tho
Porte doubtless looks upon 1t as practically

The Arctic Expedition.

Tho news from the Jeannette, which we
published yesterday, removes agreeably
some apprehension that there had been
such loss of time in her start as might
ultimately interfere with her chance to
make good progress this year. We were
afraid that the delay due to the failure to
get supply of coal at a far northern port
in ample time to await her there if she had
started many days earlier than she did
might deprive her Of the opportunity to-
make the most of an open season. But we
are glad to know that her advance has been
such us to give her the full benefit Of the
favorable season that the whalers report.
She will probably make q high latitude this
year, and thus secure good position from
which to operate early next year with sledge
expeditions Should Captain De Long place
his ship in high latitude this summer and
winter there successfully he will be able
next year to utilize the sledge expeditions,
for which he has made ample preparation,
to an extent to which they have never before
been utilized in the history of Arctic discov-
cry. Sledge journeys have in the past never
advance of IN expedition as they seem to
promise, judged theoretically. Perhaps
this is because there are difficulties that
geographers, who judge the case from the
safe seclusion of an armchair" do not
fully appreciate or perhaps it is because
they have been, in great degree, wasted
efforts, or efforts not directed resolutely to
the main purpose. Captain De Long will
be in very favorable position to utilize
these important auxiliaries for ascertaining
the geographical facts that it is especially
important he should know in order to
make the earliest and most profitable use
of the next summer. We believe that he is
the man to get the most out of them OF
which they are capable and that, favored
by a fortunate season and seconded by the
energy and good will of his associates, he
will accomplish the objects OF his expedi-
ton next summer.

to occur in Bohemia the London essayist
would doubtless have been prompt to say
what paternal measures the imperial gov
ernment of Austria should take. The sa-
cred name of humanity would be invoked
to protect the bone and sinew of the
country against few rapacious landlords.
The State would be called on to redistri-
butte the land-at the national cost if need
be, SO as to let the people live. Yet to that
or something like it must it come at last if
England is to avoid a series of disasters.

THE WEATHER.-Although the meteorological
conditions looked very threatening yesterday
the disturbance in the Northwest seems to have
passed into British Columbia after causing
abundant rains and high winds in Minnesota
and the upper lake region. To judge from the
present conditions the storm centre which
threatened to pass over the New England and
Middle Atlantic States has entirely disappeared
and fair and warm weather il likely to prevail
in these districts Tor several days. The temper
atnrc continues to rise in every section of the
country. Clear and fair weather prcdonnatcs

titudes of General Grants unthinking ad-
difference between q nomination and an
election. Unless some republican candi-
date goes into the Convention strong
enough to secure nomination on the
second or third ballot, and thus preclude a
deadlock, it is possible that General Grant
may suddenly be brought in as the dark
horse and triumphantly win the race. It
would be difficult for him to decline a
nomination made under such circum-
stances.
This possibility cannot have escaped
watchful, sharp-sghted republican candi-
dates who fear Grant more than they fear
one another, and who dread him all
the moro since he declines to enter
the lists and appear as a rival.
They understand too we'll what all these
accumulating evidences of popularity would
portend if the Convention should be brought
TO deadlock and the name Of Grant be sud-
denly brought in to end the conflict The
friends of all the open candidates are, there
fore, glad to witness the rival ovation
which is paid to the actual President while
the great ovation to the ex-President is in
progress. II Mr.. Hayes round of receptions
does not eclipse the brilliant round Of recep-
tions given to General Grant, they at least
prove that Grant is not the only citizen as
piring to no further Office whom the peo-
pie pour forth in multitudes to honor. The
friends of all the avowed candidates have
on interest in swelling the Hayes ovations,
for while they fear Grant they do not fear
Hayes. The honors paid to Grant have,
those paid to Hayes,

the enthusiasm on the Pacific coast is
reflected in the Mississippi Valley. But
do the republican candidates perceive
that they are possibly preparing another
dark horse and another possible solution of
deadlock in the Convention? In the
''Occultation of Orion" from which we
have just quoted, the great Algebar,
''whose sword hung cleaning by his side"
was not shut out from view by the
fiery Sirius, but by the pallid, sanity
moon. ''serenely moving on her way with
'lriumph in her sweet, pale face" In
the circling of celestial orbs the beautiful
order of the universe prevented their COM
ing into collision; but the mighty, bolted

On Saturday next there will be match
game of polo between tho Buffalo and the
Woodstock clubs. at Buffalo. As the latter
is a new club it is creditable to their pluck
and enterprise that they have undertaken
to play SO formidable q team as that of the
Buffalo organization, which last year made
such clean sweep of the Westchesters and
is 80 we'll known for bold and daring play.
Early in the present season ono of its
game, but there is no indication that they
have since played with any less vigor or
dash, and the Woodstocks may expect
lively tussle. 1t is refreshing to notice how
athletic sports have begun to thrive in this
country. About twenty-five years ago DR..
Holmes lamented the general lack of phys
ical exercise among our young men, and
characterized the youth of America as
..sallow-facod, soft-muscled and paste-com-
plexioned." At that time the criticism
was deserved, but things have changed
since then, and the venerable Doctor could
now safely reverse his judgment. Nowhere,
not even in England, are athletic exer-
cises moro in favor than here. Games, old
and new, flourish in hearty manner which
promises we'll for the health and develop
ment of the race. That 30 vigorous and
exciting game as polo should be not only
firmly established but rapidly increasing in
favor is especially noticeable. There is no
better exercise for the requirement of per-
feet horsemanship, and we trust that it will
before long come into vogue as IN auxil-
iary training in our cavalry service. In
active engagement wooden dummies would
be just rs useful as men who can only SIT
their horses in tho attitudes Of dress "a

Religious nIountebanlxs.

Talmage-the Brooklyn Tabernacle's own
Talmage-is home again. He. has gone
through England with all the pomp and
circumstance that a grand combination
circus and menagerie could reasonably ex-
pect, and has made money at rate
that would drive even q successful theatre
manager crazy with delight Between his
lecture work and that of the popular
''show" there have been numerous points Of
resemblance; there has been the advance
agent who "billed" the towns and
saw to it that public sentiment was
as it should be ; there were the crowds that
flocked to the box Office, and other crowds
that, having no money, could at least stand
patiently to see the distinguished per.
former as he stepped from his carriage or
omnibus and entered the place in which the
performance was to be given. The crowds
that flocked to his sermons were nearly as
big as Rowell would draw If he
were to place himself on free ex-
hibition in some conspicuous place
to-morrow-as big, indeed, as that
which would flock to the hanging of
any popular criminal that was about to
leave the world for the benefit of his fellow
creatures.
And what has been the effect upon
religion of all this ostentatious
show? How many bad men has it
Influenced to lead good lives, and
how many earnest, practical Christians
has it strenghtened2 Englishmen and
Irishmen like every one else in the civil
lied world, are at present inclined to sift
all religious theories and pretensions very
closely and retain only what seems
to be worth keeping. After Mr.. Talmage'a
work in the British Islands has
been passed through the sieve what has
remained2 The general impression has
doubtless been that American preachers are
radically unlike any others, but that they
wore as shrewd about making money
and getting up catch-penny devices
that succeed. Commercially this is high
praise, but business has not heretofore
been the leading ideal of the Christian life,
and particularly such as brings the MAN.

lost to its rule, while Austria, covetous
of Macedonia, is in no hurry to relieve
the Moslem of any of his fears. Pretty
nearly all that can be done to Turkey short
of wiping it out completely has been done,
and it is in keeping with Osmanli traditions
to turn upon the least of the foes of the
Sultan and wreak upon him the vengeance
which would be freely dispensed on all
hands if occasion permitted. Along the
Greek border. therefore, is the danger spot
to European peace at present.
