4 REFoRuER And HIS FRIENDS.

The interesting information was tclcgraphed
to some of the reform newspapers the Other
dav that Governor Cleveland was enjoying the
inequalities of the Hon. Smith NJ. Weed at
Plattsburg, and was about to make little tour,
in company with that statesman, to the Adlron-
dack pleasure resorts Mr. Weed was an earn
est supporter of Governor Cleveland at CHI
cago: indeed he shared with the Hon. Hubert
o. Thompson the distinction of being the Gov
errors nearest Ncw-York friend; and 1t Is
natural that two congcnial spirits, united by n
community of taste and principle, should testify
their regard for each other by some such close
association. Besides. the Governors journey Is
practically an exhibition aunt, and it is well
that the star should be seen along with the
principal member of his supporting company
The show must be very cdiiyinS to SIR.
Schurz, Mr.. Curtis and the rest of the puro
patriots. For Mr.. Weed, rs everybody remcm-
bcrs, was the agent who tried to buy the cleo
toral vote OF South Carolina COR Mr.. Tildcn in
1876 (aftcr discovering that the popular vote
had been honestly east for Hayes and that
nothing but Copenhagen would avail y; and
he was the only one of the ciphcr-gang who
ayowcd his transactions and protested not to
regret them. Mr.. Illdcn declared that ne ana
not know what bis agents were doing; Colonel
Pclton confessed and was ashamed Mr.. Marble
hoi,tcd his shoulders and forgot; Mr.. Woolley
was indisDoScd and would not testify But Mr..
Weed went upon the stand with cheek of
brass, and acknowledged that he did offer Il
bubc of $4,000 TO the South Carolina
electors, that hc meant to pay It, that he would
have paid it if he could have raised the money,
that ne knew that Hayes had a clear and fair
majority in that state; and he added that lac
entirely approved of his own conduct and was
not at all ashamed of it. The conclusion of
course is that he is ready to enter into the same
sort of business again if the opportunity arises.
We wonder how many men there are who,
while candidates for the Presidency, would os
tcntatiously associate with notorious bribcr,
who openly declares that he has once tried to
buy the Presidency for patron, and is ready to
do il again.

FRENCH REVISION CLOSED.

NJ. Ferry has redeemed his pledge to the Ret
publican constituencies in letter rather than in
spirit. He has submitted the Constitution to
the National Assembly for revision and in this
way has technically fulfilled the engagements
of the Deputies. The last appeal to the country
was made during his Premiership, and "Revi-
sion" was one of the watchwOrds of the Rcpub-
hcan canvass, VI. Gambetta having given prOmi
nence to it, after the rejection OF the Scrutin
de Liste bill. The Ministry retired from
Office soon after the Chambers assembled, and
NJ. Gambetta became Premier. lie evinced no
disposition to shirk the responsibility for the
issue which ne had raised. He made the
Scrutin dc Liste his first great measure and
unfOded general scheme of Constitutional re-
vision. lie was defeated technically on
motion for restricting the labors of the National
Assembly to a predetermined programme of
revision. The Deputies nominally voted in
favor Of an unrestricted revision. but in reality
hey were impelled by dislike of his foreign
policy and apprehensions respecting his over
shadOwing influence in public affairs. BY gem
oral consent Constitutional revision was dropped
as a political issue. The Deputies, who had
placed themselves on record as advocating "A

According to an interesting letter from our
correspondent at ConstantinOplc, published ON
the third page of this paper, the cholera Is
about the only news topic which anybody dares
refer to openly within the POrtes dominion
Discussion on any subject that borders
on politics is prohibited, and the system
of supervision over the newspapers and
the outgoing and incoming mails Is
carried to an outrageous extreme. Not
only is this state of affairs proof that Iur-
key has about as nearly gone to the bad as 1t Is
possible for nation to go and still exist but 1t
has a most serious political side. Constant in
reference with the postal service is directly III
violation of many treaty stipulations with this
and other countries. Under such circumstances
there is no place in the world, probably, where
the interests of American citizens require
watching more than in Turkey. Yet the last
Democratic Congress did its utmost to cripple
our diplomatic and consular service there, and
succeeded to painful degree.

touching the affairs of France and CHINA tnat IL
is impossible to accept as true the last one pup
lished by The London Times, to the erect that
war has been formally declared by the Govern.
ment at Pekin, especially since it is disbelieyed
in Paris and lacks official confirmation. Still 1t
is possible great contest of factions Is now
going on in Pekin, and ii may be that the war
party is at present on top and has forced the
Empress mother to this step. If, after all, the
story turns out to be true, all the world, lnclud-

sorry to hear the grave news. Not only will the
