Tho indignation of the civilized world at the Turkish atrocitios in Bulgnria is bearing good fruit, though it cannot be sald that the yiold ia Inrge. The remonstrances of the Governmenta of Europe impelled the Porta to order an investigation, which was com- mitted to Bracque Bzy, who will be remem- bered as tho Tarkish Minister to Wasking- ton a fow years sgo. His report confirms the worst thot bas been published concern- ing the wanton pillage and slaughtor which hovo choracterized tho movements of the regular and irregular Moslom troops in Bul- garin. Fifteon Turkish officers, ngainst whom the report contained domning evi- dence, have been arrested and conveyed to Constantinople,, and it is more than likely their earcassos will bo surreptitiously used to feed tho fishes in the Bosphorus. s Grant bodies move slowly. Gov. TrLomr, aftor wecks of silencoe, has ot langth spoken, He replics to the charge of perjury, for which ho stands indicted before tho bar of pullic opinion, in connection with his in- come return for 1862, and states that in 1861 ho advanced in the aggregate soveral hundred thousand dollars to kecp the drug manu- facturing houseof Tiroex & Co., at Lebanon, N. Y., from going into bankrnptey, and that these moneys wore all or nearlyalllost. What Mr. Tupex's lossos for 1861 have to do with his incomo of 1862 is not very apparont. Ad- mitting, Lowover, that he mode such ad- vances in 1862, tho claim for exemption-is still oxceedingly gouzy. Iad Mr, Trpes lost theso *'soveral hundred thousand dol- lara" in pool tickets on the Jerome Park raced.would Lo have been permitted to make a deduction of like amount from Lis income return? Had he prosented theso ** several hundred thousand dollars” to his brothers, would he havebeen exompted? ‘Chelaw makes no provision forany such events, Mr, Truoex's income in 1862 from wrecking railronds and other sources was far in oxcess of the amount roturnod. What Lo did with it was no part of tho Government's business,” Tle may hava invested it in mining stocks, mortgages, or {faro-chocks, or donated it for political pur- poses, but it still romained * income * as the bnais for the asscasment of an income tax lawfully and righteously due the Govern- mont, and this tax he evaded. ""GIVE U8 ANGE." Mr. J. V. Lz Morxe, the gentleman who receivod from the Confederate IMouse the seat to which Mr, 0. B, Fanwewnr, had beon olected, has Loon making n Democratic speech in on adjolning county, the rofrain of which is roported as boing, “ Give usn change,” In this Mr. Le Moxnz cchoes the sentimonts of most of the Democratio stump-speeches for the lnst dozen years, aud the lament would not bo deserving of any apecial notico had not the ciroumstances changed some- ‘what, o that the legitimate demand for o chango should como really from the Ropub- licans and not from the Domocrats, Wo ore not informed whethor Mr, Le Mornz's plea for n chango was applied nationally or local- 1y, but in oitlor caso the necessity for it is e;pmlly abvious from a Republican point of viow. In national afaira the Ropublicans will co. incido with Mr, Lx MoyNz's demand, bo- causo o change will reverse the muster of the present Congross, and justend of their belug 108 Democrats to 108 Republicans there will bo 168 Republicans to 108 Democrats, 1f Mr, Lr Morsz and his Domocratio friends can stand this sort of a change, we are suro that the Ropublicans will not complain thoreat. The troublo about this repested “Democratio clamor for o change is that the stump-spoakers of that party ignore the fact that Democrnoy has boen on trial for nearly two years. Thoir demand for a change re- ceived consideration at the hands of the people after the panio of 1873, and the elec. tions of the following year changed the mojority in Congress in the hope that now counse! might in somo way relieva the pressuro of hard times. The result was a disappointment,. The Democratio majority in Congross failed to develop the capacity, patriotism, or knowledge of public affairs to suggest any legislation of the elightest nssiat. ance to the country, ‘Thoy demonstrated tkat the Democratio politiciana havo forgot. There wos a long seusion of political wrangling, portisan malice, and vainglorious exhibitions of Con- federato hatrod of tho party that crushed the Rebellion, but there waanot a single mens- ure looking to an improvement of the finauces, tho reduction of taxation, or the re- liet of the commercinl distress of the country, ‘The party had claimed to be devoted to reve. nue reform, but the only measure introduced in thia intorest was stifled in tho committee, after it had been mautilated, and its proj ors left it to die without o struggle.. 'I'kere was & promise of reducing the taxation by curtailmont of expenses to the amount of $00,000,000 & yesr. As a matter of fact, the ouly ourtailment mado was with tho purpose of crippling the Government, while the usual Congressional joba wore put through with such shamoless ex- travagenca that President Grant has refused 10 use a part of tha woney appropriatad for e e sesepinn THE CHICAGO tho river and harbor improvements. The door was opened for tha introduction of log- islation looking to the allowance of Confed- erato clnima that will moro than double tha presont national dobt if they be paid, show- ing the tendency of the Confederates to ex- coed in the future tho racklessnessof the paat in using public money for private bone. fit. In tho useof such patronago ss tho Domocratic Houso enjoyed, tho Democratio notion of civil-sorvico reform was illustrat- ed by picking ont tho most efficiont clorks and omployes simply because thoy were Ro- publicans, and substituting incompotent mon withont character mafnly becauso they were Confodorates. During all this period the hard times have continned to grow harder, and tho people, Laving tried the Democratic party two yenrs, now want a chango more than ever, If Mr. Le Morxz's demand for a change re. ferred to tho local situation, hio will find that the peoplo, and notably the Republicans, will agreo with him in that respect. The change of two yoars ago gavo tho Republican City of Olifeago threo Domocratio Congressmen, 88 it bad previously given it a full list of Demo- orntio local offlcinle, The Democratic local politicians plundered the taxpayers, and the Democratio Congressmen mistepresentod thom and neglocted their interosts. A change is manifestly very desirablo from a local point of view, and wo think it likely to oceur, Onoof the incidonts thoreto will be to send & Republican to the Congressional seat mow occupied by AMr. J. V. Le Moryz, What did any one of the three Democratio Congrossmen from Chicago accomplish or even proposo to better the condition of the country, which was the pledge on which a Democratio majorily were elected two yoars ogn? Theso were Oavirieup, Hamrnison, and Lz Moywe. Twoof them sat in their seats and listened patiently while the arch-Rebel Bey Hin maligned their constituents, and one of them rathor camo to Hrrp's rescuo when Bravg was de- fending tho Chicago people. One of them 'was rosponsible for publishing to the conntry the astonnding libel that President Gnast hnd misappropriated public funds for hisown boneflt, of which thero was not & suggestion of proof. Another made himself the laugh- ing-stock of the House by his feoble efforts to rival Sax Cox in acting tho buffoon. The third, having got into a scat that did not be. long to him, subsided into the most profound obscurity, and is now hoard from for thofirst time in demanding a *‘change.” Wo cer- tainly hope it will come. All threoof theso gentlemen aro active candidates for renom- ination, and wo hope the party will reward them for their distingnished services by running them sgain. The desired ehange will thon be tolerably well assured, so far a8 the First, Becond, and Third Congressional Distriots in this Stato are con- cerned, We hopo that this same desire for s chonge extends throughout the entiro country, as wo should think it would overy- where outside of the Confederate States, and that the Democratic party, which has been tried for two years with no result but an in. orense of hard times, will be consigned to ita customary minority and comparative harm. lessness. By all means, ** Give us a chango.” [ L3 SOUTHERN ELECTIONS. Thero is nothing that shows mors clenrly how elections are conducted in the South, and how Democratic majoritien aro nade, than an aunalysis of the roturns. This we hiave nlready done with the figures of tho Mississippi clection Inst fall. A referonco to the returns of the Alabams olection this year' will ehow that The Mississippi Plan"” wes also worked in the latter State with the same successful results. The figures, which come from Democratic sources, show that tho total vote of tho Stato was 145,009, divided as fol- lows: Domoeratio, 98,693; Republican, £9,296; Domocratic majority, 42,897, Tho vote for the past fow years in Alabama has sbeen s follows: ear, Rc{r. em, 1800, 06,142 48,480 1870, « 77,670 70,447 1872, 2 70,444 priize U0s0%8 107118 Hero was s Domooratic majority in 1874 of 8,190, against a Ropublican mnjority of 10,828 in 1873, and two years later this ma- jority is more than quadrupled! In order to have obtained this astonishing result, it must have been necossary for evory white man in the State of Alabama to have voted the Dem- ecratlo ticket and for o Inrge number of the Republicans to havo been disfranchised. Thoro is no othor explanation of the prob- lem. An analysis of the figuros will show that the disfranchisoment waa actually ac. complished, and that the Republican vota dropped almost one-hslf, or from 93,928 {0 56,290, The following table, giving the Tepublican voto in 12 counties in 1874 and 1870, shows how the votes dropped : on more into detail, the following tablo, contrasting the number of tho colored population in 10 countios with the Republican vote, shows the significance of the figurcs in a vory clear light : ¥ Col. _(‘A‘n.

Nearly two.thirds of the Republicans of Alabama were disfranchised in the elac- tion of 1870 1 The * plan " by which this resnlt was nc- complished was imported from Missiesippl, where it hud already been used with eminent success, The result in Yazoo Oounty alone ia a {air samplo of its workiug, That connty last fall had a white population of ouly 4,884 and a black population of 12,805, At the elcotion in 1878 it gave a Republican major- ity of 2,016. The Democrats cast only 411 votes, the Republicans about 2,600, The ‘“plan” was sev to work, No Republican tickets wero allowed to be printed, Somo Republican lenders wero driven out of tho county, others were killed. The streets on the day of election wero filled with White- Liners, armed with rifles and revolvers, aud having ropes tied to their saddles. The vast majority of the negroes wero intimidated from voting, The fow who did come to the polls were forced to vote sgalust their own convictions at the mouth of the pistol. What. was the result ? ‘Tho Democratio vote rose from 411 to 4,044, and the Republican vote fell from 2,427 to ecten, and thoss sovon votoa wero cast in de- rision by the White-Liners. Not a Re- publican volo was polled! This **plan,” which worked so beautifully in Mississippi, was ndopted in Alabams. The White-Liners commonced intimidation and terrorism, not atopping short of murder and massncro. In addition to this, they sofzed upon the polls, packed them with their own judges and in. spectors, ruled out all voles that did not suit them, and allowed no Republicans to bs present at tho count, as was the caso in Ar- kansas st the recent clection, Tho ** plan” whaa not carried out 8o complstely as in Mis. sissippi, but with snfllcient onergy to dis- franchise more than one-third of the Ropub. lican voto and quadruplo tho Demoeratio mnjority.

The peoplo of tho North should look upon this nbt as an episode of election oxcitoment, but as a serious and dangerous nullification, which is tantamount to a renowal of robellion, If the South can sot aside one law bofors tha clection, what is to hinder them from seiting aside all laws and authority of tho General' GoYernment after the eloction, when n man {8 placed at the hoad of tho Government who has public. 1y rocognized and dofended the right of the Southorn States to secede at their own voli- tion? INDIANA REPUBLICANS, The Prran Cooren fraud is still kept allve in Indiana, and there are Republicans in that State who blindly and obstinatoly persist in upholding it, thus aiding in the clection of Tuory. The Groenback party in Indiona, taken by itself, is alargo one. It includes the larger part of tho Democrats and a fair proportion of Republicans. Ostonsibly it has a soparate organization, with its own candidates for Governor and other State offices, and also for Congress. It proposes torun a ticket of Prosidential Electors to vote for Pxren Coorer. The Domocratio party, while furnishing the majority of the mombors of the Independent party, has a most rigid organization, and has been able, while nursing and encoursging the Groon- back party, to secure the vote of every Dem. ocrat in tho State for that party at the Octo- ber elcetion. It is notorious to all the coun- try, outside of the Ropublican wing of the Greonback party, that the Independont ticket in Indinna has no other purpose and con hiave no other effoct than to draw votes from the Ropublicans and Iot the Democrats eloat their State ticket, ‘The candidntes for Governorare Harnisoy, Republican, Witriaus, Democrat, and War- cort, Independent. Every Demoerat in the Btate, whether a soft or a hard money man, will voto not only for Wrmriams, but for overy other Democrat on tho ticket, 8o ad- mirably and thoroughly efficiont is their or~ ganization that not a Democrat in tho Btate will lose or wnste his vote by giving it to Warcorr., They know, from the highest to the lowest, that the Indiana olection is ro- garded of the highest importance; that it doponds on the olection of WrLLiaus whoth- or Tieozn will have any candidacy in No- vember ; and honco there will bo a united Demooratio vote for WinriAus, How is it with those Republicans who have been entrapped into this Indopendent organization ? They remain faithful to the Rag-Baby and faithful to the memory of Perzr [Coores, and, though it is self-evident that every votoe they give to Waxrcorr will be n vots to oleot Winirams and aid Toozw, they ara still insisting upon voting for their papor-money delusion. Assuming that thore are 5,000 Ropublicans in Indiana who pro- pose to vote for Warcorr, theso 5,000 men will in effoct wasto that many votes to nid tho Demoorats to elect their Btate ticket in Indiapn. Itis difficult to understand how this conduct can be reconciled. Do theso Ropublican Greenbackers believe that any Democrat will vote for the Greenback ticket against the Demoeratic nominees? Is it possiblo that in Indlana there are any Ropublicans who pnt faith ina Democratio promise to voto against the Dem- cratio ticket? Do these men not know that tho defent of Wrtaus will be equivalent to the dofeat of Trpxy, by destroying all hiope of o possibility of his being olocted? ¥now- ing this, are they not aware that by throwing away their votes thoy aro directly supporting ‘Toen nod the Democratio party? What, then, {s the motive which induces men pro- fossing to be Ropublicans to throw their votes away? Is it hostility to Haves and ‘Wizeter, friendship for Titpen and Hex- poicks, or expectation that Cooren has the ghost of a chanco? ‘We do not beliove there is any man who has ovor boon a Ropublican who can con. sciontionaly vote, diractly or indiveotly, to ro- store the Domocratic Confederates to power; to hand over the four millions of negroes to bo re-gnslaved; to destroy all tho rosults of the War, and put human froedom back whera it stood when the Democratio party was in armed rebellion. Let us hope that theso Republicans in Indinna who are thus warring upon the Republican party will abandon their Independent vagary;and unite inna cordinl and hLenrty support that will eleot the gallant Bex Ianrison, The Demoorats of Now York bave nom- inated Lucrus J, RovmsoN to take the placo of Monario Bzysousn ss candidate for Gov. oruor, The nominntion tells tho story of the poverty of the Democratio party in New York, Among allits statesmen it Lad no one that could be named. Those who were nccoptable to the people were hostile to TiLorx, and thoss who were acceptablo to TiLpeN were oither unknown or objeotions. ble. Despairing of having a Demo. cratic statesman, the party sought es. capa from its diffioulty by nominating Robmson, who Ja not a statesman, ‘I'he candidate was for many years a Repub- lcan, and whon he left the party was nomi. nated by the Democraty for Comptroller, and was defeated. Tive years later he was a Democratio candidate for Congress and was defoated. o was electsd Comptroller on the Democratto ticket in 18756, Mr, Romin- soX livea in Elmirn, and {s supposed to have some 1nfluence in the *southorn tier" of counties, When out of office Mr. Ronixson waa employed as an expert in settling the acoounts of the Erle Railway Company.

This is the man put up to take the place which haa been filled by many of the ablest men in the State, and this is the man nomi. nated in opposition to Epwix D, Monroax, the great War Governor and statesman, who is known to and admired by every man of all partios in the Btate of New York. Tha nomination, though the best at hand, be- trays the torriblo woakness of TiroxN in Lis own Btate, The civilization of Europe is not worthy of very high consideration if some effort be not mode by the Groat Powors to punish Turkey for the savagery of tho Bulgarian masanoros, and go crippls the Government of the Porte that it will forever henceforth be unequal to “the proteotion of tho wild tribes that have committed the atrocitios, The roport of Mr. Evarne Scnvynen, the Amorican Consul- General at Constantinople, supplementing the roport of Mr. Souppes, the English Con. sul, and both mado after a personal inspec- tion of the ravished country, leaves no doubt of the dircct responsibility of the Turkish Govornment for the Bulgarian horrors, The atrocities cannot be exaggorated. Tho ravages have beon wdrso than wild bessts counld lhave commilted, for they have liad the co-operation of human ingenuity with brute instinots. They ara the indul- genco of savage natures, mot only unre- strained but actually oncouraged by a Gov- ernment that claims rank with the great Powers of the world, and s treated with equal consideration. Tho time has como when this sham diplomacy must be aban- doned, and Turkoy left to the fate which it has carnod. It should no longer be regarded s o civilized conntry, It should no longer bo treated as m Power, but as a vast lair of wild beasts threatening civilization and to bs exterminated by united Europe. Vicron Huao has spoken the truth about the situa. tion. Ho says o poople is beingassassinated, that the whole world is a witness, and that. diplomacy must give woy to humanity, This i the way ho talks : ‘Wo are about to astonish Earopean Governments by teaching them one thing, viz. : that crimes are crimes; that 1t 1s no moro allowable for a Govern- ment than for an Individual to ho an assassin; that Europe Is solidair; that all that happens In Europe is done by Europe; that if there cxlsts a wilde ‘beast Governmont it must Lo treated as mwild beast; that at tho present moment, quite close by us, there under our eycs, people are massacring, ‘borning, plllaging, extorminating, cutting tho throats of fathera and mothers, selling the littlo glrlaand boya; that the children too small to bo sold are being cut in two by the blow of a ssbro; that famlilcs arc burnt in their houses; that one town, Batak for example, has been reduced ina fow hours from 9,000 lihabitanta to 1,300 that the cemeterles are choked with more corpses than cnn bo buried, so that tothe living who have sent them carnage the dead send back the pestilence, which is only falr. Wao teach the Governments of Enropo this: that prognant women are being rip- ped open to kill the children In their womb; that in thie public squares thero aro hcaps of the romains of women with the trace of this treatment; that dogs gnow in the strects the skulle of outraged girla; that all this §s horrible; that a restaro of the Qoveriments of Europe wonld boe envugh to pre- vent it, and that tho eavages who commit those crimes are terrifying, and that the civilized who lct them commit them sre appalling. The time has come to ralso one’s voice. The unlversal fn- dignation is being aronsed. There ara honrs when the human conscionce speaks und orders Govern- menta to listen. ‘This is in Huco's exnggerated style, but he does not cxaggerate tho actual barbarism, he doos not exaggoerato the atrocities, he does not exaggorato the resontmont of civilization. The London Spectator speaks as frankly when it says that Tarkey should no longer be treated as a Government. The people of England will drive tho prosent Tory Govern- ment from power for its imbecility in hand. ling this Turkish question. The ambitions and jenlousics of tho European Govornmenta must dieappear under the common revolt of all humanity against a barbarism that is " densor than any of tho past, and a savagery that is moro furious and terrible than tho world hns witnessed for a contury, This Bulgarian infamy was not merely a slaughtor, s the Bioux slaughtersd Cusrzs. Thera was mnot even an insurrection in Bulgaria that could properly be dignified by that name; if thers had been, no such universal oxtermination could have been accomplished. Bulgaria has a population of threo to four millions, and the Christians are the most advanced of all the Blavic people, Had there been any genoral uprising of the people, thoy would have beon able to defond themsolves, Tho whole case was a letting. loose by Turkey of the savago Oircassians and wild Arabs who hind boon colonized in and near Bulgaria under Turkey's auspices. Tho massaore,and horrors were committed under tho lead and protection of Turkey's regular troops in revenge for s meresympathy with Servin and as a punishment for being Christians, The soul is promised o passport to Hoaven to every Mussulman who kills a certain number of Christians, and women, children, and unborn babes nre counted among the number. It was simply a whole. snlo gratification of the lechery and blood- thirstiness of a horde of savage brutes, This manner of warfare is not new nor ex- coptional on the part of the Turks. It has been an incident of slinost every strugyle be- twoen the Turks and Christians, It is but an enlarged ropotition of similar slaughter in Befo, Cypria, and Byria. The English Blue. Book on Byrien affaive from 1858 to 1860 contains authenticated accounts of the same kind of atrocities. 'Thon the Druses ocon= pied the nttitude held by the Bashi-Bazouks, " Then, too, the Tukish regulars entrapped the Christian villagea by a promise of pro- tection, induced them to lny down their arms, penned them up,~men, women, and children,—and let the savages in upon them, Theu, as now, tho 'Curkish officars who sagisted in the butchery were promoted instoad " of punished. Then, as now, the Turkish rogulars took their full share in ravishing the women if not in slaughtering the men, Any effort to excuse the Turkish Government is an idle one. It employs these savages with a full knowledgeof what they will do and with the purposs that they shall oxterminato unarmed and helpless communi- ties and cut off Christian life'in every condi- tion and at every sge where it is encounter- ed, If the authontication of these Bul. gorian horrors does not arouso the humanity of Furope to rush to tho aid of the Christiaus under the domiufon of Turkey, and free them from their bondage, thers will be a blot on the history of this century that can never bo oblitorated. MF. Lasanclalms that the Mississippi Dem- ocrats are sincerely loyal, and Mr, Sivone. TON, of that Btato, has recently reaffirmed this declaration, How sincere their loyalty ia may bo tested by reforence to the rocords of the fifteen delegates whom they sent to Bt. Louls to represont them. A correspond- ont of the New York Zimes, writing from Jackson, Miss., furnishes the antecedents. T'en of the fiftaen wero original socessionists and Confederato Gonerals, 'Tho other five wore original secessionisty, aud the whole fifteen aro White-Liners of the most violent and ultra type. Not one Union man was salected, Not asivgle Old-ldne Whig wes seleoted. No man suapected of loyalty to the Govornment was choson to represont the Missiselppi Democracy at Bt. Louis. The *‘gincors loyalty " of the Democracy of Mis- sissippi must bo tested by their actions, not by Mr. Lasan's sontimontal declarations, The floundering of Tinpxn's defenders in tholr attempts to get away from the damaging testimony against him in the Terre Ifaute, Al- ton & Bt. Louls matter is not less pitiable than in the Income-tax perjury business. The de- fenses both, it muat bo presumed, are the best of which the facts admit. What It amounts to in the rallrond case is best stated by the Central TLaw Journal, published at 8t. Louls, and non- partisan,—a professionnl paper,—which citea the defense as simply a plea that TiLoeN is guilty of embezzlement. The Law Journal snys: Mr. TiLnex haa & lawanlt,—or rather somo ons haa & lawsuit ngainat him,—which i distressing some of his frisnds and gmlullllng many of his enemles, 111s cnomics Inalst that if he had done right he would not have beensued.

This Journal in a recent leader attempts & Inbored apology of Mr, TiLpex, which has been reprinted na n concluaive vindlcation In mnny of the political Jonrnala, In this apology the caso in stated in tho Tollowing paragraph, the'itallcs beug onrs: , Ihiere wasa Western vafl- ro'nrfx.' eoiet the era e, Riton & St T T4jl- oad; wihiich got intu difeultics, st coutd iot by o Titererton Ita honde, ‘Tho bondlioliors dotermined to forecloss the mortgnges under which the bonds wors Iasucd, and reorgantze tho road, Tiiey accarlingly ap- pointed Mr. TiLhkx and several other gontlemen, wiio Were sclectod of account of thelr knowledgo uf faw or thetr skill In ralirosd mattors, to do the bustness for them.

The Review snys: The Turks may hang any Dulgarian In arms, without our fln{lng aword oxcerl on thoexpediency of tho procceding. But then there are two ridera 1o thia general doctrine, One 1s that to glve State & right to exist at all, and a fortiorin- right to exlat by executions, it muet bo 4 Government, — that is, must desire, however stupldly, tho general 5«0\1 of the governed. The Turkish Government oes not desire that, —nay, must, as & Mnssulman Government ruling & m{ofllg of Christlans, do- eiro their harm, —must wish them to be submis- sive alaves not to itscif, but to the minarity of fta own creed, —must be whiin whenoxpedientto ex- tirpate them to mako room for the Falthful.

This view of the situation fs tho samo as that taken by Vicror Hugo In his recent address, ond js the only vicw which ought to be taken in the final medlation between Turkey and the Christian provinces. The Turkish butchers and the debauched, inhuman Government that al- lows these atrocltles, should be treated not us o Power, but as a mere collcetion of people who are {njurfous to the world, and should be treat~ ed accordingly, first, by adequate punisbment for thelr fiendish and revoltiug crimes to inno- cent and helpless women and children; and, sccond, by permanent rostrictions which will render such atrocities {mpossible in future. It would beln the fotercsts of humanity, civiliza- tlon, rcliglon, and progress for the whole world to rise and drive these beastly butchers out of Europo back to their Asfatic home, and so hedge them in that they could never inore come in contact with the rest of the world. Whether the eelfish political policies of the Europesn 8tates will llow thom to discipline these mon- sters remains to be secw. ——— Germany, which hasremained soquiet through the Turco-Scrviau campaign, s getting restive under Russian instnuatfons, and the two great papers, tho Golos and tho Allyemeine Zellung, are “scolding each other with much bitterness. Tho Golos, having charged that Gormany {8 pursuing o warllke policy, tha Zeftung hits back by saylug that ** such an insinuation is on ¢ insult' to Ger- many, and that Russia has now more reason than ever to act considerately to the Germans, seefng that sho shows so little conslderation fpr other Powers In advancine her Interests in tho Fast.” To add.to the Russlan comfort, tho Pall Aall Dudget suggests: YA State llke QGermany Is never fo want of allics, mad the more impetuously the Slavonic propuganda is being carried o at 8t Potersburg and Moscow, the more does the idea galn ground of uniting the forces of the Germanic race—Aus- trla, Germany, and England—whose territory extonds across the whole of Europe, separating tho Slavonle from the Latin races.
