ure is to be voted upon In its entirety. 1t
follows that bills which have been adopted
piecemeal are rejected upon the final vote.
Italians are gradually discovering that this
system is good only for demagogues.


The same obliquity which leads Democrats
and repudiators to argue that promise
to resume is hinderance to resumption will
doubtless enable them to discount the success
of the four and half per cent loan in the
London market. which is now assured. Gov.
Tilden can doubtless prove to the satisfaction
of his Ohio constituents that the funding of
the debt at lower rates of interest is step
backward-the shadow in exchange for the
substance of resumpton-and that there is
mo necromancy In the operations of gov
ernment." ~


Our correspondence from the Exhibition
grounds to-day is mainly devoted to Fine Art.
Memorial Hall is the building to which four
out of FIVE visitors first direct their steps, but
so confusing is the vast display within that at
the close of an hour three out of the four, after
wandering aimlessly through the corridors,





the Exhibition. There are many pictures well
worthy of patient study, but there are also
acres of mediocrity which are merely worth
walking by We furnish what thousands of
visitors will need during the next two months
"a guide to the Art Exhibition.


1t is creditable to the Italian Government
that the fear of scandal did not deter it from
prosecuting the Marquis of Lescate, who forged
both the Kings and Prince Humberts names
to bills amounting to upward of 100000.
In his defense the Marquis acknowledged that
all the bills were forgeries, but he absolutely
denied having been the author of them. He
declared that he was the dupe of person
whose name he refused to reveal. This eX-
PLANTATION appears to have received little con-
sideration, inasmuch as he was sentenced to
eight years. penal servitude The case Is
warning to Victor Emanuel to keep out of
debt and dispense with money-brOkers. The
confidential position which the Marquis en-
jOyed as the Kings agent alone enabled him
to deceive the bankers.


Regarding Servia, everything is still un-
settled. The army is being reOrganized, and
is prOfting by the cessation of hoshlties to
strengthen its defenses. Russian volunteers
are pouring in and encouraging the panic
stricken Servians. Gen. Tchernayeff, the Com
mander in Chief is still for war, holding that
Servia will be saved from destruction by the
Great Powers. This sentiment naturally ex-
cites disapproval abroad, and the Russo-Ser-
wan chief is warned that a nation cannot be
encouraged to make war for pastime. The
attitude of Montenegro is beset with perple1-
ity. 1t is certain, however, that Prince
Nicholas has no desire to confront the vic
torious Turks sinee-handed. 1t is now evil
dent that the war will continue until either
belligerent is exhausted. Diplomacy seems 10
be powerless.


Great credit is fairly due to the citizens OF
Buffalo for their lavish hospitality to the
scientific convention. While prompted by no
selfish motive, such attentions are apt to bring
reward. There are many instances already on
record in this country where the visit of
party of geologists or chemists has been the
first means of revealing to community the
hidden treasures around it. We print to-day
the synopsis of paper showing what has been
done in researches as to the origin OF the great
lakes, by Prof. Newberry, who Is conducting
very thorough survey OF that region. A
familiar instance Of the value of such labors
is the result of the old geological survey of
our own State; before it was made large
sums of money were wasted at intervals by
experimenters in boring in different localities
for coal; the survey determined the absence
of that mineral and permanently stopped the
boring. Another paper of Importance in our
Buffalo letter gives a scientific review OF the
silver question. It will be seen that tie math-
ematical argument against double standards
and silver legal tender is pregnant with
weighty facts.


Yale has won again. The Cambridge crew
threw up their oars half mile from the finish,
and Columbia was beaten by several lengths
Yale rowed and steered splendidly from first
to last. The time was 8 minutes 1Os4 sec
onds-nearly third Of a minute behind her
record in the great race with the London
crew. Yale now has q chance to do very
graceful thing The Cambridge crew weie not
in condition for the race. The captain was
sick when he took his seat in the boat but
with Anglo-Saxon pluck determined not to
back out, but to do his best. During the race
his strength gave way and he fell back faint
ing in the boat. All Americans are proud
of Capt. Cook. Through i'll repute and good
repute, through success and failure, he has
clung to what he considered were the correct
principles of Craftsmanship, and the victories
