Popular belief in the reports which have been
cabled from Europe during the present week To
the effect that the Gar is the eve of hurting
his armies against Rumania Turkey and Austria.
is necessarily somewhat shaken by the fact that
similar and almost identical, rumors have been
curHnt every fall for several years past. News
paper correspondents are Gebarred from attending
the great autumn manoeuyres Of the Muscovite
army. and they are Therefore forced TO reTy upon
the fertility of their imagination in order to ac-
count 10 their readers for tho movements of the
Cars soldiers. 1t Is largely TO their powers OF
invention and Of exaggeration, as Well as 10 the
dearth Of ordinary political and parliamentary news
from which the press Of the Old World Is now
suffering, that we are indebted in this country for

TILE MEX[CAN TROPHIES.

THE TRIpUNEs suggestion that the cannon
and battle-tags captured during the Mexican
War shall be returned next year to the military
school at Chapu!tepec has been criticised by
Democratic journals az a mawkiSh bit Of senti-
ment 1t would be easy to demonstrate that
it would be a good stroke of business. There
are large American interests which will be ma
teriallv aided by the negotiation Of broad and
equitable Reciprocity Treaty with Mexico.
conspicuous act of friendship and good feeling
like the return of the Mexican trophies now dis
played at West Point would facilitate the diplo-
matio work of the State Department. Ii po-
likeness and courtesy are profitable in the ordl-
nary transactions of the mercantile world so
also are the same qualities useful in business
relations between nations. Spanish American
countries are always impressed with acts OF in
ternational civility and friendlineSs.
1t is not however, on the ground of expedi-
ency that we have urged the return Of the
trophies What censorious critics scott at and
ridcu!e as mawkish sentiment is a high principle
of international morality. Those trophies repre-
sent war of conquest which was at variance
with the best traditions Of American history.
The United States has only waged one cam
paign Of territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT with its re-
publican neighborS on this continent. Public
sentiment throughout the Union is now strongly
arrayed against wars of conquest on this con-
tnent The Mexican trophies on the parade
ground at West Point do not represent the pa
ciRc spirit of American industrial progress. Ii
the cannon were restored to the military school
at Chapultepec it would be a significant token
of the unwillingness of Americans to perpetuate
the memory of the defeat and humiliation of a
nation with which it is now on the friendliest
terms. The act would be interpreted through
out Spanish America as a reputation Of the
spirit of conquest and a remuneration of the
policy of territorial expansion on the part of
the United States.
The Spanish conquest begun four hundred
years ago involved all the horrors of war, ex-
termination of population, slavery and CONNER
cial rapacity. Even when the English and
French entered upon their career Of colonization
in the West Indies and in North America war
was waged between the rivals for one hundred
and fifty years, and each new treaty Of peace
was record of territorial conquest. The Worlds
Fair commemorating the discovery of the New
| World will mark in the strongest way the re-
action wrought by centuries of pacific progress
| against the barbaism OF war. In order that the
moral force OF American example may be ex-
erted against campaigns Of conquest and in
favor OF the arts and blessings of peace, the
| United States ought to be in a position to gree

TBoRoUGR CANVASS NECESSARY.

A
polihcal banouets like that at the Union
Ieapue promote good digestion and create mar
oonious feeling. Mr.. Fassett and his colleagues
a. .ba Republican State ticket have made ex-
oouent sneeches in New-York and Brooklyn,
and have produced fine impression "hercVer
they have been seen. The great work Oh the
canvass however, lies in the Republican coun-
ties of the State rather than the Democratic
stronghold of Tammanyville. what IS I'M
naratively needed is q well-organized and thor
ough campaign from Westchester County |"
Lake Erie. The Republicans will carry the
next election il they can succeed in convincing
,,otors throughout the State of the importance
of defeating Hiism and Tammany. A full
vote will undoubtedly be cast by Tammany IN
this town. In order to Offset it there must DC
a full vote outside of the city Such vote Is
never cast unless there is spirited speaking
canvass from county to county.
This is work which must not be neglected
dining October. Mr. FasSett ought to be seen
and heard In every county before Election Day,
and his associates so far as is possible should
take mart in an old-fashioned canvass OF this
kind The same spirit of enthusiasm which has
been imparted by their presence at public meet
inps and political banquets IN New-iork ana
Rroolklvn will be aroused throughout the State.
The Democracy can afford perhaps TO neglect
this branch of campaign work and 10 uepehu
upon a lavish use of their millionaire canoluate
money a week before election. It's Young
strength lies in the cities where the polling
places are close at hand, and where the exercise
of citizenship does not involve sacrifice OF time
and c, mfort. In the Republican counties OF the
State polling places are often at long distance
and it is only possible 10 bring out full vote
by interesting every one in the issues OF the
election. New-York can be carried by thor
oueh canvass involving Republican mass-meeI-
ings and addresses by candidates in every I'M
portant town. Without such canvass the re-
suit is doubtful.

HOW FREE COINAGE rHEArENS DEBTORS

HOW FREE COINAGE THEATENS DEBTORS
James II. Dooey has addressed a letter to
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, which seems to
prove more than its author desires. He believes
that the United States alone cannot restore
silver to its former position, and that any at
tempt to do so by law would involve certain
consequences which the silver men overlook
He assumes that Congress is likely to pass a
Free-Coinage Act over veto, and asks " How
is gold to be prevented from going to a premium
and what are you going to do about the vast
mass Of indebtedness which will be by express
terms OF the contract payable in gold coin OF
the present standard weight and fineness?' He
reasons that gold certificates have disappeared
from circulation and are locked up; thai an in
significant part of the Government receipts are
now in gold that the great bulk OF the railroad
bonds are made payable in gold that mortgage
loans as they fall due are extended Only with
the same stipulation, and that In NGwYorlI

Tho appearance of cholera just about this time
of year at Mecca is attributable 10 the fact that
annually on one of the last days of August the
pilgrims offer up their sacrifice at Nina, village
four miles distant from the Holy City. 1t Is
only on this one day OF the year and on this one
spot that it is lawful to say the animals anywhere
in the neighborhood of Mecca, and the beasts OF
all kinds from camels to kids killed there between
sunrise and noon on the tenth day of the month
of I'll Hila number about 10000. The stencil oil
this gigantic holocaust, fostering in the scorching
Arabian sun, is admitted even by Hadjs them
selves as awful beyond description, and as no at
tempt is made by the local authorities to remove
the carcasses, an annual epidemic of cholera in
varably ensues. The germs of the fell malady
are then conveyed to Turkey, to India. to Algeria
and, in fact, to almost every quarter of the globe
by the returning pilgrims.
