after tho adjournment, . majority Of
the members sgresd to meet the Wiscou
sin Legislature 10. Chicago, provided
proper reasons for 20 doing we're CON.
Munica'ed. A largo majority look fsv
oraby upon the meeting"
We ere sure that the Board Of Trade,
recognising the true interests Of Chicago,
will favor sod forward this movements
with that spirit Of |iberal;ty % peculiarly
its own - Chicago Journal.
We know not "whst Chicago will do
shout it," nor what tho Iowa Legislature
will do shout il, but We think it bad
better stay It the capital and do up the
work that needs to be lone. OF course
if the Legislature goes to Chicago, the
members will be desdhesdcd over the
railroad, and the people will have TO pay
90 much tho moro to those 'soulless"
corporations. Let the Legislature frst
enact the laws that the people demand to
protect them from the robbiog propeosi.
ties Of the railroads, and we will guar.
antee that there will be no free ride to
Chicago.
We admit that . member Of the Leg.
islaturs may have free rides over the
railroads aud not give them anything in
return, but We know that the railroad
companies <zpect to gain some votes BY
such operations. W. hope tho Lcgisls.
ture will not, 1t this time, accept any
fsvors from the railroads. Whea the
people have no rights to demand Of the
railroads, and the rsilrosds have no favers
to ask Of the Legislature, then let the
members Of the Legislature take % many
FREQ rides y they can get. It would
not look we'll now.

The German Confederation.

The doings of the German Confederation are
just now of so great Importance with reference
to the impending war in Europe, that it may
be worth while to refresh the minds of our
readers with reference to the structure and
functions OF that unique association of States.
The German Confederation is composed OF
thirty-eight sovereign and independent States.
The chief of these in extent and population are
a part of Prussia, containing a population of
II, 2,445OOO; part of Austria, population,
l22OS,OO0; the Kingdom OF Bavaria, 1869, 600;
the Kingdom of Hanover, 1873, 900; the King
dom of Saxony 1,9S7,OO the Kingdom of
Wurtemburg, l,733,OOO; and the Grand Duchy
OF Baden, 1,365,00 The total population of
the Confederation, exclusive of Austria and
Prussia, is about 2O,OOOOOO. The ordinary
Federal army numbers 3O3,493 men, furnished
in proporhonate contingents by the several
States. About l75,OOO OF these, however are
furnished by Prussia and Austria,
The declared object of the Confederation is the
maintenance of the security of Germany and the
independence and integrity of It's respective
States. Its affairs are managed by Represen
tative Ass embly, called a Diet. In this body
each State has one or more votes, according to
rank, the whole number being siXty-nine.
Austria, Prussia, Bavaria SaXony, Hanover, and
Wurtemburg have each four votes; Baden
Hesse-Cassel, ,Hesse-Darmstadt, Hols en and Lau-
enburg, Luxembourg, and Limburg, each three;
Bruins WICK Mechlen.Schwerin, Nassau, two;and
each Of the other twenty-four States one vote
each. When it acts, however, as the "NIinor
Assembly," or Committee" each of the larger
States has one vote, while the eight smaller
States are grouped together and vote frac,
tionally.
1t was in this Diet that, on the l1th instant
Austria moved for the immediate mobilization
OF the entire Federal army; whereupon Prussia
notified the minor States that upon the passage
OF such measure she would regard the Con-
federation as at an end. Nevertheless, the mea-
sure passed. If Prussia acts according to her
threat, We do not see how she can avoid giving
Austria the support of all the other members of
the confederation. II such should prove to be
the case, Austria's proper military force would
be increased by over 100000 men, while she
would ENJOY other advantages from the co.
operation OF the minor States that would tell
largely in the struggle. But it is not impro.
bable that some of the minor States NAV he
speedily occupied by Prussia, and their re-
sources turLed into her own channels. In the
event Of great war; such as this promises to
be, it is impossible to Goretell the complications
that may arise. Should Prussia prove success.
full, she will probably absorb many of the
smaller States thus increasing her standing and
influence as one of The first powers of Europe.
The days of the German Confederation, III lis
present form, are evidently numbered.

Commencement OF the European War.

commencement OIL Ine european war
The steamship Jttrd brings intelligence of the
formal commencement OF the great European
war. We say "formal" for there has been an
actual state of war ever since Prussia took pos
session of Holstein. The Federal Diet having,
on the 14th OF June, agreed to the Austrian pro-
position for the mobilization of the Federal
army, Prussia, agreeably to previous notice,
carried out her threat to consider 1t an act OF
hostility on the part of those States which sup
ported it, and on the following day commenced
the war by sending troops into Saxony and
Hanover.
A report which is not confirmed, however,
prevailed at Pans that an engagement had taken
place at Leipsic on the 10th.
Prussia has issued declaration to the great
powers justifying the invasion, on the ground
that the decision OF the Diet on the l4th broke
up the Confederation, and that the law OF self
preservation compelled Prussia to secure herself
against the neighborug States, in open or con-
cealed hostility; that she had previously offered
a conditional alliance, which was rejected.
We thus have the immediate and ostensible
occasion for the war, as Prussia gives 1t to the
world. 1t will be seen that it at once involves
all Germany, instead of merely including Prus-
sia and Austria. It's grand and imposing pro-
pOrIOnS may De TeallZSu Wuen we COnSluer UndJ,
as it now stands, il involves a population OF
over seventy millions. IT to this number we
add Italy, we have the tremendous total of
quite one hundred millions of human beings,
all of whose resources and energies are no " to
be turned to the terrible work of destruction
and death. There has been nothing to compare
with it since the days OF the elder BoNAPARTE.
Europe has been so often fought over that its
strategic points are well settled. We shall
accordingly find the battles of the present war
occurring, in all probability, upon the old sites
which have so often trembled beneath the tread
of The armed legions of the great heroes OF
history.
Leipsic, where the first engagement is re.
ported to have occurred, Is the scene OF that
terrible three days battle in October, 1918,
where NAPOLEON with l3O, 900 men, withstood
the assaults of the allies With $50, OOO until he
was finally overpowered and driven out of the
city, with the loss of nearly half his army.
The proximity of the Prussian and Austrian
armies is such and the anxiety on either side to
secne the advantages of position and the pres
tige of success so urgent, that great battle
must be close at hand

THE ARREST OF THE DEALERS IN LOTTERY
PoLICIBs.-Tbe High Constable and his posse,
under the direction of the Mayor of the city, did
good work yesterday in arresting and binding
over a number of that too large and powerful
class in our community, who make their living
by dealing in lottery policies. The names have
been given TO the public. The evidence ad-
duced has been sufficient to have them all
placed under bonds. What we now demand, is
that the District Attorney prosecute them to
the utmost of the law, secure their conviction,
let them be sentenced, and that the full punish
ment be meted out to these transgressors. We
too frequently hear of arrests, we see them
chronicled in our daily papers, but
never hear of the offenders being brought
into Court What becomes OF them we are not
prepared to say but the fact Is patent that for
many years we have had no convictions of par.
ties engaged in this Illicit traffic. When we
remember the evil which they bring about the
domestic desoiation. the poverty, the crime, the
baggsrd faces and wIld eyes, the ruined pros
poets, and the final destruction, morally, physi-
cally, and mentally, of the victims, we do not
wonder at the ImpatIence felt by the people
that those who cause all this agony should go
unpUnished. We hope that we will soon have
such an example set to all the tribe as will ter
riiY them and compel them, through fear to
abstain from their work of destruction, IL
alarm the whole brotherhood and purge our
city, TO a Great degree, from the contamination
Of such moral monsters.
