not altogether sanguins Of great radical VIC
tory in Pennsylvania, and so is rather disposed
to mourn than rejoice. Poor old man!


Bismarck, the inexorable, continues to prose-
cute his ambitious plans for the consolidation
of Germany with an air of firmness and deter
The weak German confederacy has been OBJ

SOY union Of the German States, with Prussia
for the central Power and Bismarck rs the con-
trolling genius, is rapidly succeeding. 1t is the
empire of Frederick the Great which is being
re-established. As that old military despotdi
missed the ministers who had ruined his father,
and with only his own indomitable will to coun-
sci him, restored at blow the powerful empire
of his ancestors, SO Bismarck, scorning the petty
restrictions Of the constitution and banishing
the constitutional advisers of the Crown, has
wrought out . new Power In Europe.
The liberality which characterized his first
actions and declarations is not evincing itself
in his final settlements The confederation
which was to have been formed Of the States
north Of the Main proves only to have
been passing thought In the mind Of Bis
marck those States have already been alb
sorbed in Prussia, and our yesterdays advices
the Prussian Legislature, having for its object
the annexation of Hanover, Electoral Hesse,
Nassau and Frankfort, had been adopted. OF
course it was adopted, just as the bill legal
izing the unconstitutional acts of the King
anterior to the war was passed in fact, just as
Bismarck dictates.
But Bismarck is not content with these
petty additions. Schleswig- Holstein is also in
his power, and he is preparing another bill
annexing that province to the kingdom OF
Prussia. And not content with this he lays all
Saxony under martial law and proceeds to
the work Of bringing that kingdom gradually
to be part and parcel OF Prussia. The per-
sonal friendship which King William enter
tains for King John Of Saxony, deters the
Prussian Minister from such summary action as
that visited upon Hanover; but gradually that
monarch will also find himself robbed of his
possessions, which will be absorbed by Prus-
sia So far he has only been made to pay o
portion Of the war expenses, and to give up
the important fortress OF Konigstein; but his
kingdom is still in q estate OF SIEGE" his peo-
pie are forbidden to hold public meetings, and
virtually the territory OF Saxony is part Of
that OF Prussia. Her southern frontier Of
mountains, her numerous fortresses Qike that
of K6nigstein), are 100 important to the safety
and the harmonious coniguration of the new
German empire of Birmarck's conception to be
given up now that they are held by the grand
army of the Prince Royal. Before the state Of
siege of Saxony is finished there will be one
reigning king less in Europe, and his name
will be recorded as that of the ex-King John
of Saxony.

FIRE On Monday morning, be-
tween one and two clock, a fire broke
out in the furniture store of Messrs.
Sayers q Williams, under the Veranda
Hotel, on the corner Of Milan and
Spring streets, and in spite of every
effort on the part of the fireman, the
whole Veranda building and its con-
tents were destroyed. The upper por-
ton of the building was occupied by
Mr.. Haussabrauk as a hotel. and the
basement by Messrs Pitts & Thayer,
auctioneers, and Sayers Il Williams,
furniture dealers. Little or nothing
was saved from the desouring element.
The loss will fall heavily upon Mr..
Haussabrauk, the owner of the building,
as he had no insurance. His loss is.
probably, in the neighborhood of 500
900. Messrs. Pitts IL Thayer's stock
was in the neighborbood of $4,000,
upon which there was no insurance.
Besides, they failed to save even their
books. We have been informed that
Messrs. Sayers & Williams were in
sured for $4,000, but we were unable
to learn the amount of their stock. At
one time the Milan Exchange build
ing, and Walsh & Boisseau's ware
house, were in imminent danger, and
it was only through the efforts of the
firemen and some of the citizens. that
they were saved from destruction.
Had those buildings taken fire, nothing
could have saved the business portion
of our city. The origin of the fire was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary

rs Some strange revelations are
made public in New York concerning
the evidence of JEFF. Davis completely
in the assassination. Many of the wit

and no such persons can now be found.
One Of them, Mr.. Creamery, when
told to proceed to New York to pro
cure confederation of his own state
ments, ran away to avoid conviction of
perjury. Other witnesses have come
forward and testified to their own
falsity.

Budget of the French Legislature are
urging the propriety of obtaining in

accumulated interest, in virtue of the
stipulations guaranteed by the treaties
of 1915 and 1918.

B The following sensible Language


is from the New Orleans Times:
The law that "they who live by the
sword die by the sword" is certain as
gravitation in its results. The man
who lives bully and brute, and makes
use of his brutal force, dies in brutality.
The pain, the agony, the terror he has
made others feel accommodates upon his
own head its burden Of iniquitous deeds.
and he dies, slain like dog in ditch.
The law, "whoso spilleth mans blood.
by man shall his blood be Spilled"
may not be adopted by our generous
system of justice, but the vengeance
there is in their own motives brings
the spiller of mans blood down to a
slaughtered bed, and let's out the blood
which has spurred the murderous hand
to spill the blood of others. The sane
ton of a just Heaven makes the act of
the slayer who Stays the professional
murderer deed of even handed Justice.
The scales of justice that contain the
sorrow such man has made others feel
are balanced in his death. Sympathy
drops no tear on his corpse. The prac-
ticed bully and rufian dies as q dog
| dieth--
For these acts gravitation, dragging down
/ ward in its spell
! Those who sacrifice their fellows, those whose
minds are made of hell.
