Our readers will have perceived that
recent kilograms contain news from Ea-
rope of the gravest Importance. The
Eastern Question has once more been
opened, and that in a sudden and mex
pccted manner. 1t will be remembered
that after the last Russo Turkish war it
was settled in the Conference Of the Great
Powers held at Berlin in 1873, that BuIga-
ria, the country lying between the Danube
on the north and the Balkans on the south,
waS TO be entirely detached from Turkey
and form IN independent State, electlng It's
own parliament and it's W Prince, with the
city OF Sophia for its capital. A further strip
Of country over 200 miles in length and
about 60 miles in average breadth, bound
ing Bulgaria on the south and thus also
on the south side of the Balkans, was
made into a separate Province, self govern
ing so far as all internal matters were con-
cerned, but owning the authority of the
Sultan, who was to appoint the HoSpH-
dars or Governors at certain fixed peri
DDS and to have other rights. This pro
vince, which formed part of the great
Turkish province Of Roumelia, was called
Eastern Roumclia, and P%hiIippoliS, vas
fixed as it's capital, a city of about 10000
inhabitants, built on an island in the
Martha river. The revolution which has
Just occurred there has for its object the
getting rid of the last remnants Of Turkish
domination. Hence the Governor has
been deposed and the people have declared
their wish to he united to Bulgaria. It.
will be perceive that there is a suspicion
that this matter was arranged at kremsier
when the Czar of Russia met the Austrian
Kaiser, and indeed it is hardly likely that
the move has been made without Russian
encouragement. Austria for her share IS
to annex Bosnia andHerZegOvina, which pro-
vinces she has hitherto held in accordance
with the Berlin treaty under q prOtectOrate
only. The Powers, it is said, are urging the
Porte not to fight, but the Sultan does not
like an independent State on his borders TO
increase half as much again, and especially
does not like TO see it stretching itself across
the Balkans, which chain of mountains has
been regarded as Turkeys best defence. He
may therefore fight, and if he does Russia
will scarcely remain quiet, and we may he
on the eve Of a great war; but if he does not
fight the situation is not much mended,
for an easy success in one quarter may
tempt to risings in others. III short it is
impossible to say how the matter will end,
and the uncertainty of the immediate
future is reflected in the heavy fall in in
ternatiOnal securities announced from
London on Wednesday.
NIB. The above was written before the
arrival of the kilograms telling of a Con-
ference. It remains To be seen what can
be done in that way.

Popular Medicine.

curative measures. When men of dis
tinction are i'll, the conditions of their

are telegraphed all over the civilized
world, to be read at the breakfast-table
in the morning newspaper. Their
medicines and their doses are infinitely

Republican Simplicity in WASH
imGtOn.

The Constitutional requirement that
Congress must give its consent to the
acceptance of foreign presents or honors,
is an evidence of what foreigners call
our republican simplicity. This spirit
of simplicity" perVades all our insti-
tutions. The people are not disposed
to forget that they are the real sover-
eign, and they require that the man
agement of their affairs shall be open
to inspection. The citizens from the
backWoods of the West, and the citi-
zens from the classic streets of Boston,
may wander about the halls of govern
ment with equal freedom and impuni-
ty. The only restriction are those of
prudence or necessity. An American
should not complain because he is per-
United to roam through the vaults of
the Treasury only under the escort Of
a guide. If he wishes to hear the de-
bates of Congress, a seat in the gallery
is at his disposal
That we find ''red tape and excess
sive dignities in some of our official
circles, 1 concede; but these are trif1es
as compared with the tedious formali-
ties and pomp of other lands. Indeed,
it is only by such comparison that you
can properly estimate these features Of
American equality.
Here we have no long line of SER

gressmen are as frequently encoun-
tered, and are as easy of address. as
