RUSSIA HOLDS The KEY.

The civilized world is kept guessing
with regard to Russia's particular inten-
tons in the Turko-Grecian imbroglio.
But there is no doubt of the power she
yields in European councils.
In every case the last word as to the
policy of the European concert has been
Russia's. The powers wavered on every
point until the firm note was sounded
from ST. Petersburg. The German En-
peror stormed in vain for the blockade
Of Crete until Russia gave the word.
When the question of restraining the
Greek feet during the war was debated
Russia decided the point by declaring
that Greece must have a free hand at
sea. And now when the Sultan was in
clined TO push his advantage in Greece
TO the extreme. it is reported that sin
gle intimation that Russia was willing
to let loose the Bulgarians, was sutti-
cient to sweep aside all opposing ad-
vice and secure a hasty order for the
cessation Of hostilities.
But while the power of Russia is thus
displayed. her special purposes are
yelled. 1t seemed at first that she was
willing to let Greece be obliterated in
order to force England into opposition
and TO provoke war. But failing in that
scheme she is now posing as the friend
of Greece. The tone of the Russian
press shows violent hostility to the ar
rogant claims of Turkey. It is not at
all improbable that Russia will grasp
the opportunity TO bind the non-Slavic
and progressive people Of Southeastern
Europe to herself through ties of graft
tude and thus complete the isolation of
England.
Whatever may be the immediate OBJ
jet of the Russian government. her
movements emphasize her mastership of
the Eastern situation. BY ways that
are frequently dark and devious she is
slowly but steadily attaining the goal
Of her NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

\ BRAND NEW Trust.

A Chicago contemporary points out
that under the benefcient rule of the
Republican protectorate the trusts are
not only fourishing but new cOmbina-
tions are being formed. This is not at
all s.range-in fact, it is quite what is
naturally to be expected.
The other day the leading manu-
facturers of sash and doors are
alleged to have met in Daven-
port. Iowa, and there put in
working order a scheme to freeze out
all the small manufacturers who refuse
TO enter the trust. The session was Sc
cret. but enough leaked out TO make it
morally certain that a great combina-
ton of the manufacturers of the Mis-
sissippi valley had been formed.
Wageworkers will be interested 10
learn that one of the matters discussed
was the saving of 100000 year in the
item of office hire. Travelling men to a
large extent will be affected, as their
number is TO be greatly cut down. The
factory saving to the members Of the
trust is claimed TO be another object in
view. and the discharge of employees and
scaling down of wages will begin in
short order.
Truly the blessings of Republican
methods of government are beginning
TO make themselves apparent. The
dawn Of prosperity" seems to be lin
tied TO the narrow horizon of trusts and
combines The plain people have been
made the victims of magnificent con-
fdence game. Are they going to let
this sort of thing continue, or will they
reverse the verdict of 90 when '9S rolls
round? This is the vital question each
honest man must answer.

cation from Secretary of the Treasury
Gage directing him to collect a fine Oh
$40 from New York Pilot Reisson. who
anchored the French warship Fulton
in the channel of the Hudson river on
Fortv-second street during the Grant
celebration.
The Secretary directed that the
charges against New York Pilot Marks,
who anchored the Spanish cruiser Maria
Theresa astern of the Fulton, thus VIC
lating the same law for which Reisson
was fined, be dropped.
This action of the department caused
comment around the custom house and
in shipping circles generally. What the
customs officers and the rest of the
country would like to know is this: Is
the administration afraid that Spain
might construe the fning Of her tenn
porary pilot as a hostile act?

New York. May 2S.-The seventy
second anniversary of the establishment
Of the American Tract Society was Gel
ebrated to-day with religious exercises

organizations connected with the

during the day.
\ report was read in the evening by
Rev. G. L. Shearer, showing the work
of the Society for the year. The re
mort deals largely with the effects Oh
The increased financial stringency OF
the year" which, it is said, led 10 the
scrutinizing revision of the modes OF
the work and various reforms in the
interest of economy. The salaries OF
all emploves have been cut down. the
cost of running repositories reduced
the Depository" at Rochester has beeh
discontinued and the issue OF new pup
LEGATIONS has been greatly restricted.
The report says that most OF all 10 De
regretted has been the falling OH Oh
legacies of the year TO the amount
of over C.GO0. as compared with the
preceding year. and then states thal
Notwithstanding the hard times. the
sales during the year have been slight
" larger than those Of the preceding
year. and the trust fund has been
somewhat increased. 1t is said thaI
the rental of the new building has oc-
casioned disappointment. The new
