The Prifion Reform OaunEEtMW, which tairins its aeaaioiiH thi? evening, will have addresses from a Ioiik oil of distinguished students of criminal law and its methods of punishment. The desire of reformers is to make our pris? ons reformatories. Now, impiisoiiment makes ?ratber than unmakes criminals. Every ad Tance iu the direction Bought by the Prison Reform Congress ia not only a boon to hu? manity, it ia ?uno a aaviug to tax-payers' pockets. ? The certificate of 19 foreign physk'iana thnt the ex-Sultan of Turkey died from dissevered arteries is entitled to due weight. The hurry evinced in burying him in leas than IS hours after bis death ia, however, suggestive of foul play. Then* is also an undignified anxiety to bave Sultan Murad recogui-od by the foreigu Powers. This indicates ?lint the Porte con? siders there i._ no longer nny rciison to ques? tion Iiis claim. While Abdul Ariz lived, Servin won disposed to l?e tardy in admitting Murad Ktleiidi's right to deniiind tribute fioui her. It is now clearly proved th.it Mr. Margarny wan murdered by Cliini-e t loops. This fact will serve |o ?oiilinn the impression that there is (let p-senlcd hostility still entertained against foreigners in the interior of (.'hi?a. In tin- sea? board eilies it is deemed both prudent ?mil profitable to treat Ihr foreign residents with comparative respect. Hartley's testimony against Speaker Kcff had from tike liist no basis except Haincy's word ; it was opposcdjto nearly nil reasonable prob? abilities, and ll.itly contradicf; d by the Bpeaket himself. An exposure of Hartley's life and character now discredits him as a witness, l'lom other sources there comes circumstantial evidence that he pocketed the money lie re? ceived from (ircene. In addition to all this, Mr. Kelt ?rives 9 minute and satisfactory ac? count of the circumstances undei which he ad? vised the 11 re?ue appoint nient. That scandal is wiped out. Than ia no mon! und considerably less reason for changing our coinage to fractions of the pound sterling than there is for Great Britain to changa her coins to multiples ?and liait ions of ours. The scheme which Mr. Sherman advocated jreatetday in tibe ?S?nate would, if ?adopted, check all hope of a truly international ?coinage, and plunge the whole BMttef into remediless confusion. Our present coins are decimal, and very nearly in direct rt lation to the metiic system of weights and measures. In these two jiaititillais they are very far superior to the British coinage, and an attempt to assimilait- them to that would be ? backward atop. The ?Committee appointed to look into the ?important question of tin* Slate Capitol at Albany have ?decided to accept the design of Me-srs. Kidlitz, Richardson and (?lnistcd up to the roof-line. Thenhaabeen Borne dUaatia-* faclion expressed with the treatment ?t 'An root itself by these architects, it ?being thou..In that they have gOM ?is much too far in the pursuit of simplicity as the maker of the orig? inal fan.11:0 did in his pursuit of BgUncm and ?impertinence?. The line? ami meaaea of the 111 w roof halted midway bei wem baieiirs., and grandeur. Rut considerations of econcmj had probably sonictiiin.; to do with this, and the ?deaigner of the proposed tower is doubt? less able to design B ?roof M noble to lead up ? to it. Let us hope that there is no petad- j venture almut carrying out ihe deaiga for the tower. ELAINE IP Ad AIS. Mr. Maine has seiz.-d hie opportunity, and is once more the man of the hour. The patriot? who have been partite: his garments ?among them may M Pell abandon that checilul task. Me is not half so near dead as his persecutora. Then can be no aaietaking the concurrent Judgment of oh-civi?r.s of all parties, as to the ?effect of the dramatic Scene yc-tei'day in the IIoii?*. The h .ni-i.ui In .Mr. Maine's favor is InstantanOOOfl and overwlii lin? ing. If he was tin? strongest candidate u week ago, he is stronger now. For what Mr. Maine has done is far more than simply to disprove the allegations against him. That indeed he has done thoroughly. The letteis about which the contideiice-inaii Mulli? gan declared that Maine was ?ready to commit suicide, are given tu the woild, and are BOOB to be harmless. The ?BoetoU witne-si s have ?established nothing whatever against him; und the fact that they ingeniously raised such u Storni over nothing, mi ves at OMA to n veal their malicious puiposc, and to make them ridiculous. They were lln- feeble toolfl ol a conspiracy which their failure expoacfl and breaks down. In war it has always been ?held a wise rule to do what your em my doesn't want. This ?conspiracy shows just what the De_oeracy ?I i? sii't want. It doesn't traot Maine to be the Repttblicaa nominee. All other Republican candidate?! it has let alone. Against Maine it has evidently exhausted all ils resource-. It was willing to let any other man get the nomination. Maine, it was resolved to keep oil' the track. The Republicana will not 1m- slow to take the hint, and we count Mr. Maine to-day a ?-stronger candidate lor the support of the ?Republican ?party than he has been on any day since bia ?eandldaey was Irat ?mentioned. For the rest, he has won the hearty admira? tion of foes M well at friends, lor the right manly way in which he has boine himself through this moat trying ??ideal. Our political history shows few in-t inces in which a candidate not yet before Un? people has been so venomou-iy pursued, and none in which the peisedition has been better endured or more succc.-_-ilully repelled? Mr. Maine may not bfl the next Presid? tit, ami he may even fail of the Repub? lican nomination] though certainly for that his prospects were never fail 11. Hut he has made it tolerably certain that no Confidential clerk Attiring harmless private let? ters to his employers on business will soon ?Bgaia ligure as ? potent engine of n bum and the controlling ?power in a Presidential election ! THE EASTER S CONFUSION. The probable suicide, possible assassination? in any case, death?of the late Sultan, is a matter of not the slightest political moment. As nn (xi!e at Hagdad, or elsewhere, he might at some future period have become the center of intrigues and the source of trouble 1 but his influence over the present coin.-4? of Turkish politics ceased from the moment of his deposi? tion. The revolution was too sudden and com? plete to leave any n -limants of power behind it. He had already spoken hi.s last word and haw hustled oil' the stage : his death is simply tin- final assiiranco that lie cannot 1?-turn to it. With every day the MUM of events, which we have already indicated M most probable, moves a little further. Kvcry day Servia draws a little nearer to the front ?er, toward that position where, with Hosnia as her right and Bulgaria as her left wing, she will become the center of a formidable line of battle, facing toward Constantinople. Her soldiers can already see the far blue peaks of the Halkaii, tilling the whole horizon to the south? east, and are burning for the opportunity to seize and hold that strong advanced lin?-. Secretly encouraged by their Slavic brethren of Hussia, and understanding the instinct of that ampBN as completely as if it welt? set forth in a protocol, they care little for formal diplomatic advice. Still less are they likely to care for the anxious mediation of Austria, whose Prime Minister, Audi assy, as a Hungarian, provokes all the preju? dices left by the ancient enmity be? tween the two races. The action of Greece, equally with that of Servia, presuppose* the secret sympathy of RUBflia. GlUMUhM .always coveted?in fact, claimed as of right-the jkis st-ssion of Kpirus and 1 he**saly, and without ?the speedy intervention of BOTOC pOWCC m favor of Turkey, she is very likely to get them now. The prospect of a successful rising among all the Christian subjects of Sultan Murad grows fairer every day. The promised refoims have net yet been proclaimed, and the time is very MM at hand, if not already arrived, when any promises what, ver will be met with the cry of "Too late'" Meantime the Great Powus are doing noth? ing. England seems to hare been playing a game of blull' so far. and is stupefied to tiltd th.it her advei.saiies will not be scared. Hu-sia is probably satisliol that the revolu? tion, unaided, is fully able to cope with the power of Turkey in the saine condition, and is only concerned in having a free tight and no interference. If this can be secured, Gcr manv, also, will have no reason to object. At'stria, on every BCOOUnt, is nei voiisly desir? ous to secure immediate ?peace. The policy of ?Prance is pacitic, no doubt honestly so. but still somewhat reserved. As matters slant! at this moment, F.ngland can go BO further without making hciself vir? tually th<- ally of Tiiikey, under ein umstand s ? which would stamp her as the protector of Islam against Christianity. Such a step would I be followed by the alliance of ?iissia with the Slavic insinrection, and the two Powers would i I.?- brought once more into eoUUiott. ll Ruealai whose .?talesmen are too shrewd not to pro ' vide for all possible contingencies, is nssun d of the quiet neutrality of Qeamany and Praaea ! m such a case, she may await Kngland's uext movement with entile complacency. 8TE0NGEE BANES Once more the Associated Hanks as a body have largely increased their PB8C1 ves.

A ?reduction of $31,000,000 in this branch of iMUnwca sine last year is by no means g discouraging feature if the reduction has been caused bv the lettle? mini of old aiaiiiiiits and tie- al in?! tin nt of debts by weak burowtis; but if, on lite ?other hand, this class of doubtful loans has not be? n materially Ics-ciied, while the decrease has ?been due ?mainly to the reduced demanda by Bound borrowera bT ?legitimate ?busineea, the banks are considerably ueaker. On this point it is well to n?.te thai tin- decline in l>ii?in?ss transactions, as shown by the ?dealings, is larger than the decline in loans.
