p1CJFjCaTjOy or THE EAST

The pacifcation of the East under the
conditions imposed by the Treaty of Berlin
has been q complex process The details
have been rectcd i'll our cable dispatches
from week to week since the closing ses-
sion in the Radziwill Palace, but we
have not taken pains to analyze the
various factors, nor even to reduce
the problem to its simplest terms Ameri-
cans we take it, are not disposed to
make special study of what has become the
most intricate question Of European politics
and modern diplomacy. they do not wish to
worry over the details at any intermediate
stage, but prefer to wait for the results. 1t
is to results, therefore, that we now direct
attention.
While complex forces of race, nationality
and creed are still at work, it Is obvious that
a turning point has been reached in the re-
organization of the Balkan peninsula. New
States are already forming and the des-
tinies of southeastern Europe are being
determined. The military pressure OF
the Northern Power will soon be with
drawn. The Russian troops have re-
tined from purely Turkish territory, and will
be forced to evacuatc Eastern Roumelia
within a few weeks; and while the treaty
gives them q tirmer fOOthOd i'll bulgaria than
in the South, the probability is that they
will retire as soon as the principallty is or
ganized. The two Bulgarias, which have
been administered since the close o
the war as if they were single
state. are now to be torn asunder The
Assembly has been in session at Tirnovi
nearly five weeks, and although the delegates

that they have lost all respect for the de-

TRIBUNE Is79-WITH SUPPLEMENT-

union of the two Provinces, the election OF a
Prince and the revision Of the Constitution
which was sent to them from st. Petersburg
cannot long be deferred. The result of this
political experiment will be the transfer Of
authority from the Mussulman minority, who
have abused it, to the native majority, who
have yet to learn how to use it Alright While
the northern principality is rapidly taking
shape, the southern province is without form
and void. The Eastern ROumelian Commission
has completed six out of fourteen chapters
of the organic law, and finds it impossible to
conclude its abOrs within the period set for
the evacuation. The finances of the province
are in extreme disorder and the gendarmerie
has not been formed. The population is al
ready in motion, and will speedily be still fur
ther excited by the passage OF the MahOm-
etan garrisons from AdrianOple to the
Balkan. The frontier, moreover, where these
garrisOns will be stationed may not be deter
mined for several months, for the commission
which will define it will not assemble until fort
night before the Russian forces retire. If the
European Powers agree upon scheme of mixed
occupation order may be maintained south OF
the Balkan, but if this half-organized prov
ince be left to itself or subjected to pressure
from ConstantinOple, anarchy will ensuc.
Lord Beaconsfield may still boast that East
ern Roumelia has been given back to the
Sultan, but his scheme of reorganization, with
its equivocal reforms and its sham line Of de-
fence in the Balkan, has proved very bad
working plan.
The present aspect of the Balkan peninsula
confirms the ODiniOn winch we repeatedly eX-
pressed last Summer. We have always re-
garded it as a most dangerous expert
ment to bring under different cOnd-
tiOns of government a race that has
everything In cOmmon-instincts, tradl-
tions, faith and aspirations. On one side
of the Balkan will be emancipation and au-
tonomy; on the other the Turkish yoke, easier
and less CALLING than it was, but still yoke.
The Russians are already convinced
that the union OF the two sections
cannot long be deferred. The sooner they
go the easier it will be to bring
it about. When the troops march out the
Eastern Roumelan5 will cry out for deliv-
erance, and their brethren in Bulgaria, who
have already given expression to the national
desire for union, will stand ready to help them
The idea has taken root on each side of the
mountains, and it cannot be plucked up
nor trOddcn under foot. The impulses
of freedom-loving race can be repressed,
but not destroyed, b. European lawmak-
ers. The Treaty of Berlin does not
rest upon ethnographical grounds. 1t may
stand for a time, but it cannot form the basis
of the permanent pacifcation of the East

the Superintendent is unquestionably night.
We invite attention to the letter, printed on
another page, from a correspondent VINO mas
personally visited the plague region IN Russia.
His conclusions confirm in a striking manner
the view which THE TRIBUNE has taken from
the first respecting the credihIlty oil current
reports as to the extent of the plague lnis

state of panic, and believing that the aston.
ishinr rumors which have been telegraphed
all over the world, numbering the deaths 10y
thousands, were simply the Outgrowth OF
fright. took train for the town which was
believed TO be in the very jaws of the plague.
His letter is dated from that place, after four
days stay, and declares that no case Oh 'he
sickness had been reported in more than
FORTNIGHT, and that he could not ma even the
graves of the thousands of victims" In the
whole Province of Astrakhan, ont or 4o'ooo
inhabitants. there have been only $40 deaths.
This proof of vast exaggeration dlspOses OF
some very distressing reports.
The Democratic party is digging its own
grave with all the energy worthy o1 so goou
cause. A motion made yesterday by MT.
Springer, of Illinois, whose appearance as
leader is usually the signal for some disgrace
full or undgnifed performance, leaves llttle
doubt that the majority In the House lntenu
TO strengthen their narrow margin by an out
rage which would cast the Colorado fraud far
into the shade. 1t is actually proposed, II
Yesterdays action is safe indication, TO seat
as a member of the House of Representatives
from the Republican State of Iowa Demo
crat who received $50 votes at bogus cleo
ton held in November the regular election
having been held in October, and the usual
number of votes in that district being 10000.
If the Democratic party is strong enough to
prosper on such crime as this, 1t must be a
very strong party indeed-strong enough to
resist the indignation of honest men OF both
parties throughout the country, strong
enough to win in spite of an mfam-
Gus record and il the face Of full exposure.
If the Democrats count upon doing this, they
OYerestimate their own resources and under
estimate the vitality of the American con-
science. The Iowa outrage, should 1t be
perpetrated, would attract far more attention
than the Colorado case. Iowa is nearer
the centre of population, the fraud would
be grosser and more brazcn. The result
of the Colorado outrage was that that young
State gave a much larger Republican majority
than before, but if Mr.. Springer leads his
party to the end OF the road on which they
have started together, the result will not be
confined to the State of Iowa.

THE EVBARRASSuENTs or POTTER.

The gentlemen who are rattling around in
the seats of power in the legislative depart
ment at Washington have our sympathy.
They are unaccustOmed to the responsible
ties of their position, and they do not cut a
pleasing figure III their attempts to appear
natural and at their ease. The circumstances
in which they find themselves are so novel
and unfamiliar that they do not quite know
what to do with themselves or the powers
intrusted to them. With a general notion
that pretty much everything that has been
done in the past eighteen years is to be
repealed, they do not clearly make out
whether it should be done off-hand
in caucus, or submitted in n formal
manner to the two houses Of Congress,
and Republicans be permitted to take part in
the discussions. Mr. Salisbury, of Delaware,
