Austrian InpertInence.
The conduct Of Austria, in virtually excluding
American citizens from travelling in her dominions,
be regarded only as the climax of impertinence
Ever since the memorable year of 1913 it has been
exceedingly difficult for American to procure pass
ports to enter the dOmlnl0nS OF Francis joseph but
this difficulty has been increased four fold within
the last year 1t would seem, in fact as if Austria,
with petty spleen, sought, in this way, to revenge
herself on our government for the castigaon Hulse
received from Webster, and for the intercession
of Congress in behalf of the Hungarian exiles We
have doubt that the enthusiastic reception which
has greeted Kossuth in this country, will rerder
Austria even more spiteful, in this matter of pass
ports. Hereafter it will be almost impossible for an
American to obtain entrance into the dominions of
the boy emperor at all. To be even suspected of
being Yankee will amount to an exclusion. The
tyrant, who now lords it the illassorted terri
tories known the Austrian empire fears the free
tread of republican he feared the shouts of
the Hungarian huzzars; and would debar all COM
munication, even in looks between his sui iect mil
lions and the traveller from our happy land.
Ought we Americans to submit to this insolent
exclusion A government, in one point Of view
seems to have right to shut its doors against stran
gers but: regarded from another aspect, such
duct appears as impertinent as it is unusual For
many generations the custom of civilized nations has
been to afford the stranger a nospitable Welcome
China and Japan until lately, the only consid-
cradle powers the face Of the earth, that refused
this courtesy to visitors: and China, within
few years, has laid aside its churshness. But while
China has been growing civilized in this respect,
Austria has been rerograding into semi-barbarism
The same reasons, too that induced the Chinese 60
vernment to shut its ports against foreigners at
the bottom OF the Austrian exclusion OF Americans.

emma, tremble at the republican ideas Of Yankees
But as neither the great wall could keep out the
Tartan dynasty: nor the pop-gun proclamations OF
Pekn silence the English guns, the impotent in
science Of the House Of apsburg will not be able to
prevent the spread, in Austria, of those free ideas
which, in its imbecle dotage, it trembles before, and
hates. Mrs Darlington, endeaVoring to keep out
the Atlantic with her broom. is apt illustration Of
Austria attempting to check the march Of human
progress by refusing passports to Americans.
! We do not know but that the best course for this
country would be close all diplomatic communica
ton with Austria at once. In private life, If man
is churlish, insolent, people cut his acquaintance
| Why should not the same rule govern nations IN
their mutual department? The practical exclusion
of citizens from Austrian territories is scarcey
cause for war; and yet we it to our dignity
and to the practice of civilized powers generally tC
take some notice of this boorishness. What can we
do better than to close our relations with her The
money spent in maintaining q Charge at Vienna
would be as wisely expended ambassador tc
the Fejee Islands, for his cannibal majesty Of the
latter kingdom is quite civil and we'll behaved

his friendship considering the number Of our whalers
in the Pacific, is considerably more valuable to this
country. PHILADELPHIA Bulletin.

A late number of the San Francisco Herald says
Our Atlantic brethren, generally ignorant of the
state of things this side of the continent, would
seem, from the invoices of ships sent to this port
believe that cannot even supply our tables with
out their assistance and so they continue to inun
date us with preserved meats, &c. The restaurants
furnish daily evidences to the contrary but i
needs walk through the markets to understand full
ly the wealth of native edibles which California pos
sesses-of fish, flesh, fowl, and vegetables. The va
r1ety great size, and singular decacy of the latte
have elected much praise, and it is said they canno
be surpassed in any part of the world At this sea

among the clouds of geese and vast focks of duck
