Midhat Pacha. whose checkered career has been
brought to close IN obscurty, wasa Turkish states
man of original power and genuine force. During the
exciting period preceding the Russian campaign of
1877 he was Grand Vizler and a conspicuous figure
In European diplomacy wherein his subtleJes and
audacity seemed to the traditions of Mussul-
man stateoraft His most remarkable success was
achieved at the Conference of Constantinople where
his schemes of Turkish reform served to confuse the
intelligence of the delegates, and where he con-
trived to reduce the demands Of the Powers until
they were left in the ridiculous position Of asking
the Sultan how little he would be pleased to do.
Having succeeded In rendering European diplomacy
thoroughly contemplate he scornfuly rejected the
meagBe demands which were made. His triumph
precipitated his downfall. The Sultan suspected
that the Grand Vizier was becoming too powerful,
and on the of hostilities with Russia thrust
him aside in disgrace. If he had escaped the capri
cous jealousy of his master, the campaign would
have been conducted with greater energy on the
Turkish side. hidhat was the most remarkable
Turk this generation has seen.

selves Now 4 may rs well be thoroughly un-
derstood that the National Banking law does
not attempt TO create safe depOsitaries for the
money of individuals That is not Its aim.
When the Government attempts to provide
savings banks, postal or other, it may fairly be
held responsible if the institutions created do
not prove safe for depostors. But 20 law that
the wit of man can devise can make 1t safe TO
intrust an incompetent or unfit man with the
lending Of Others money. In the business ot
commercial loans and discounts there Gamble no
safety whatever, unless there are qualities in
the management which no law can put into
man, which the most rigid supervision ever i'm
agined cannot maintain in management and
which it Is quite impossible to measure by
official examinations
When man takes a National bank note, he
trusts to the National Banking law, and with
reason. When a man deposits money with
banker, National or other, 1t is strictly and abb
solutely his own business to satisfy himself
whether the banker is trustworthy. IL he hears
that his banker is buying real estate in enormous
blocks, or sees that he is living gay life, or
finds that he Is negotiating enormous loans on
securities that are considered speculative, or
learns that the banker is also the active man OF
a firm that is professedy engaged in operations
involving great risk, he has no right to blame
the National Banking law if he loses his money.

EE.PRESIDEYT GRANTS MISFORTUNE.

Possibly those who have looked with no favor
upon the proposal 10 nominate General Grant for a
third Presidential term may be those who have the
most sincere sympathy for his present misfortunes
1t is to be hoped that partisan will not
attribute to him any knowledge of the operations
which have brought dishonor upon the firm with
which no was nominally connected.
That he never had aptitude for the kind Of busl-
ness in which the firm was engaged, and was of
such a nature as to trust his business affairs abso-
lutely and bindly to those who seemed competent
to take care of them, well known before
breath Of suspicion had fallen upon the firm. Sim
cere regret that he has met with this misfortune,
profound regret that reckless operator should
have been permitted to mix up the name Of the ex-
President with his financial transactions, will be
Joined with a desire that he may be enabled to pass
the rest Of his life In comfort and honor.

In the treaty Of peace just signed with China,
France has gained some important concessions,
although she has abandoned her claim TO in
demnity. China recognizes French protector
ate over Tonquin and Anam, and opens to gen.
eral trade the provinces of Quong- tung, Kuang-
hi, and Ynn-Nan. 1t must have made China
vince to sign such treaty. With the loss Of
the Tonquin suzerainty and the abandon
ment of all her rights over Anam one of the
elories of the Chinese Empire has passed away.
With French territory cOterminous with the
rich province of Yum Nan, and that open to
general trade. the Chinese may well fear the
future claims of the Republic. France has as
sumed the position of protector general OF
Catholic missions in China, and the troubles

The City Reform bills which the Governor mas
returned to the Assembly for correction, should
be carefully scrutinized by that body, ana any
possible defects remedied without delay. 1t is
unfortunate that errors should be discovered at
this late hour of the session. From the man
ner In which both houses went to work last
night there seems to be ii fair prospect OF ciear-
ing the calendars. But bad bills still ma 1aVor'
There is no sense in passing an act Tx
ing the salaries of the Commissioners OF Ac-
counts at $4,000 each. Those officials might
be made very useful, but there is no reason for
increasing their pay from $4,000 to $4,000
each. The Building law, which was referred to
special committee in the Assembly, is an i'm
portant measure, and if it is to be amended 1t
should be done at once, that its passage may
not be endangered.

General Slocum has introduced wise meas
ure in Congress for the improvement of naviga-
ton at the entrance of New York harbor. The
sum named, 100000, is modest one for the
work to be done. Certainly in no other way can
Congress spend as much money in harbor inn
provement to benefit SO many people. The
entire country will derive an advantage from
the improvement of this harbOr, and Congress
will do well to pass the bill.

FEET OF THE PEACE MEASURES.
LONDON, May 12.-7he Pail Mall Gazette says that
the FrancOC treaty of peace cedes to France

nounces thus serious news If true, and says that il
is difficult to understand why Iii Hung Chang. who
has been disgraced, should sign the treaty. If
the news shall be confirmed" II says further,
Prime Minister Ferry will be much stronger and
will be able by his energy to regain the position
once held by France In Egypt"
PARIS, May 12.-Later dispatches confirm the
previous report of thesigning of the Franco-Chiness
treaty. 1t Is stipulated in one clause that China
shall at once withdraw her troops from Tonquin,

Mr.. Gladstone eloquently defended last
night, in the House of Commons, the Govern
ment policy in regard to the Soudan and Cen
eral Gordon. He said that the official dis
patches proved General Gordon's security and
justified the action which the Government had
taken. If that is the case the public has been
strangely misled concerning the character OF
those dispatches. None have been published
recently that would bear out Mr.. Gladstones
assertions. He is opposed to war in the
Soudan because the people are fighting for
their freedom. In that view OF the case oir
Michael Hicks Beach was certainly )ustlhed Id

PACIFIC COAST ADviCES.
ESPECIAL TO THE sE~NTINEL.I
Too Hot for Minister Sargent,

SAN Francisco, March 8.-A Bulletins
New York special says, quoting from the
Times, that it is expected in Berlin, ap-
parently, that the German Capital will be
made too hot to hold Sargent, and that he
will be withdrawn while under fire. II
this impressive event should really happen
we may be sure the German Minister at
Washington will. at the same time, re-
ceive his congo. There is a growing dis
respect for our diplomatic service, and the
Berlin incident will give another check to
the well-nigh obsolete institution.
A Murderer Recaptured.
Los ANGELES, March 8.-McDowell, the
murderer, has been brought from San
Padre. There was a crowd of about
1000 at the depot when the train arrived,
but no demonstration was made. Another
large crowd waited in front of the Jail,
among whom was the father of the MUIR
dered Maggie O'Brien. The prisoner was
taken by a back street to the rear OF the
Jail, thus disappointing the expectant
crowd. Mcdowell is still suffering from
the effects of the poison taken when he
found his recapture inevitable. He is
closely guarded.
A General Rain All Over the Coast.
SAN Francisco, March 8.-The rain con-
tinues. 1t has rained, more or less, every
day since Monday, and almost necessarily
during tie last SO hours. The Signal
Service reports a heavy storm all over the
Coast.
A report received here states that the
Southern Pacific track is again washed
out at Mojave, Rsvenna and other points.
General Manager Towne says that gangs
of men are at work in all directions. By
Tuesday he hopes to have trains passing
over the Mojave bridge, thus re-establish-
ing communication East via the Texas
Pacific. The road between Cotton and
Yuma, and east thereof, is all right. Be-
tween Mojave and Los Angeles it will
probably require a weeks work, with no
more rains. On the Central Pacific, the
trains are again moving to-day.
San Francisco Intelligence.
SAN Francisco, March 8.-The Maple.
son Opera Troupe. which was blockaded
at Blue Greek, arrived at Reno this morn
ing and are expected here tomorrow
morning.
Major George M. Robinson, who en-
gagged in the knockout with Sullivan last
Thursday, has resigned from the Third
Infantry, where he was on the staff OF
Colonel Tobin.
William Craig was brought to the Re.
ceiving Hospital at 2:30 O'Clock this morn
ing, suffering from the effects of q dose oil
laudanum taken with suicidal intent. The
stomach-pump was applied and Craig was
relieved Of the poison. Drink and de-
spondency are ascribed as the cause of his
attempt to do away with himself.
