Mohamet All book aoroaa the moon tain*
ia their raapaotira Unaa of retreat. Thia
aeeampliahad, and Oaman Paaha and
Mahamet AU prarantad from affecting a
Janetta*, by the foroaa under General
Goarko, which were meanwhile to eatab-
llah tbamaelrea aonth of tha Balkana, the
Boaaian campaign wonld hara been be
yond danger of failure or nertaogfaterrap-
tion. The promenade aoroaa the Danube,
and to and orar the Balkan*, while the
Turka ramaninad idle in their eamps and
fortraeaea waa, parhapa, aoffloient to jno
tify the idea of the Bnmiana that they
they had only to adranee to aneoaad.
That the Turk* ahonld retreat into the
fatal ambuah of Plerna a fortnight ago,
and whioh on Tnaaday aant an inferior
foroa to arenga that diaaatar on a rietori-
ona army in fortified poeitiona waa not
entertained. Tha re* alt i* that

of th* aitnation ia oonaemad, and that
new* diapatohaa from tha front are fall
of panioky or exaggerated romora, dicta
ted by th* hope* or fear* of either aide.
Bat tha aalient faot ia nnqnaationed that
the Boaaian* barn been checked and thalr
campaign cannot mak* any program until
they haw* ahakan off Mahamet Alt and
Oaman Paaha from thair flank*; and
meanwhile Gonrko’e tack aonth of the
Balkana ia rendered more aeriona dally by
the concentration and organiaation of
Bnleiman Paaha'* force*.
Th* Roumanian railway ia monopoliaad
by diapatoh of reinforcement* from tha
camp of rcaerwoa at Kiaohaneff. It ia al
leged that the Dobrudaoha will b* almoet
wholly awacnatad, and Slmmeraon'a oorpa
will ratnrn, via Butovs, to tha oantral
army.
The Gear haa daoraad freah levees at
home, all of whioh mean* that the mili
tary promenade haa bean turned into an
affair of Ilf* or death for the Russians,
and that the Turka will be oroahed if
thare ia power in Hanoi* to craab them.
The Tarkiah plan ia believed to be for
Oaman Paaha to light hia'way eaatward,
and Mahamet All to advano* waatward
upon Timor*, while Snlaiman Paaha en
deavor* to foroa tha Buaaian poaiUon at
Kaaanlik, bat in doing thta Oaman Paaha
anal axpoae hia left flank to th* riak of
being turned from th* diraotion of Nikop

of pivoting on Timor* and forcing him
to retire behind tha Balkan*. Mahamet
Alt wonld inoar the mm* danger from the
Boaaian* between Boatchuk and Btagrad,
while Soliaman Paaha moat attack the
Buaaian* in a poeition of thair own ehoioe.
The aoppoeed Tarkiah plan do** not look
vary promising, unless the Bnmiana
aid it by mistake* Uk* those at Plerna,
but it may with skillful handling aarre to
keep the Russians in ehaok until th* cam
paigning mason ia orak, which would be
for tb* Turks the next thing to absolute
viotory. Both Buaeia and Turkey are
submitting to a terrible strain on their ra-
aonroea to win a decisive advantage in thia
campaign. In the meantime it wonld seem
from apparently well authenticated re
ports of outrage, mordar and rapine by the
Baahi Bax oaks on Bulgarian* and Uoaaaoks
that tb* war is fast assuming a oharaoter
of ssraga cruelly, which threatens to make
it a war of extermination for all the Inhab

AN AFFAIR OF HONOR.
The Russian defeat io Bulgaria, Chief
Joseph’s esoape from (jlen. Howard, and
the railroad rebellion were all loat sight of
yesterday, when it nae noised abroad that
“Jay Gonld had got lioked." That a man
who represents at Mtat one hundred mil
lion dollar! and a leading American news
paper ahonld have been eonndly walloped
seemed too good to be trne. As the news
spread, there was a general feeling of re
gret—that tbe walloping had been so
private. Everybody who ever loat money
in Wall-street wished that be had seen
the fight. It ia not every
day that ona oan gaze on n
hnndred million dollars being held up by
tha nape of its neck while its head ia be
ing pnnohed. To see so mnoh money
dropped like a wet hen into a barbers
window would afford a new joy to the
Mate youth who frequent the Stock Ex
change. And it ia oradibly reported tbat
when tbe representative of one hun
dred millions and a leading Amerioen
newspaper went over the railinga, with its
head pnnohed, only a few favored persons
were on the spot to enjoy the spectacle.
Several athletio young brokers, who thus
loat an opportunity to save the great finan
cier and get a good onatomer, bewail their
hard look.
Exactly how personal castigation oan
compensate one's loasee in the stook mar
ket ia not olaar. In this case, it appears
tbat Jay Gonld agreed, or ia alleged to
have agreed, to carry ont a oertain pro-
g rammein baying and selling stocks. That
e did not do aa he agreed, I* also al
leged. There aeema to have been in the
breasts of the gnlleleas Oaliforniane to
whom the alleged promise waa made, an
infatuated belief in the good faith of Gould.
This may aaem inoredible, but unless this
affair baa been mia-reported, the Califor
nians who, of course, know everything,
or think they know everything, aotu-
ally expeoted Jay Gonld to do
what he agreed to do. We need not aay
to the intelligent reader that the onao-
phlatioated strangers from the Paeifio
were nndeoeired, and that their experi
ence with Gould waa oostly and instruc
tive. But the punishment infllotrd upon
the person of Gould, we submit, in the
interest of our oommon humanity, ia en
tirely disproportionate to the alleged of
fense. If Mr. Daniel Drew, of Mr. rage,
or Mr. D. D. Field, or any other gentle
man of oonBpiouons probity of oharaoter
had “gone baok on his word” with Meaara,
Belover and Keene, the provocation
wonld have been great. But that the
Californians should object to Jay
Gould's breaking faith, and make
(hat a oause of war, ie surprising. If re-
E riaala like this are to be oonntenanoed,
Ir. Jay Gonld will be hnng np by the
nape of the neok and pommeled by indig
nant stook operators from January to
December. As Gonld la popularly known
as a bear, wo Irnat tbat the Booiaty for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal! will
interfere to atop anoh a ornel and onuaual
punishment. Let the intelligent readaf
oonoeive, If he can, of all the victims of
Jay Gunid'a economy of tioth treating
him after tbe Belover manner. Fancy the
wreokof manhood whioh would Bnrvive
when the indignation of mankind had
expended itself by bolding Gonld in tbe
air with one hand while be was duly
ponnded by the other hand.
Borne four years ago a Mr. Marrin had a
grievance with Gould, which waa precise
ly like that whioh awoke the wrath of
Belover. On that oooaaion Marrin flat
tened tbe nose of Gonld to an extant
whioh was jadioislly determined to dam
age him in tbe amount of §200, Marrin,
strange as it may seem, alleged aa an ex
cuse for hia aaaanlt on Gould's nose tbat
that eminent financier bad “refneed to
fulfill hia honorble pledges." These two
attaoks on an operator who has gained
oonaidereble celebrity for not keep
bis word, will, of oonrse oon-
Btltnte legal precedents in Wall-
street. In the first plaoe, ooBtom, whioh
ia more influential than written atatntea,
will prescribe tbat tbe man who haa tbe
worn of a stock operation shall maul bia
successful antagonist. It will be Block
Exobange etiquette for tbe loser to lift
the winner by the nape of hia neok, and
having abraded hie nose and ears, to drop
him into an area, where he oan be picked
np and repaired by a friendly barber.
Next, it mnat be insisted upon that the
value of Jay Gould's nose having
been legally fixed at §200, the damages
on this oooaaion mnat be assessed
accordingly. A surgical anrvey will de
termine bow far tha abrasions, contu
sions, and extravasations inflioted by Bel
over exoeed in extent those wbiob result
ed from the aaaanlt of Marrin. The pre
vious oase evidently constitutes a legal, aa
well aa moral, precedent for the present
one. And in determining the question
of damages, the oonrts, happily, have a
basis of valuation as definite aa if the
books recorded it thns: “One Gonld
nose mashed, §200.” Hereafter, we shall
get cn without needless confusion. An
operator who ia "too smart” may be
soundly walloped. Damages are assessa
ble on tbe basis of Jav Gould's nose aa
flattened in 1873.—N. Y. Timet.
