Our readers are now in position TO judge
Of the merits Of the late speech Of LIE Prince
Napoleon. AS we said yesterday, it is good
speech from certain point of view. The
point of view, however, means something.
What is the Princes point of view? 1t may be
that Of the Emperor, it may be that Of the
people; but 1t is not that of the Senate. The
Senate, however, is a servile body and does
not 60 for much. It is body Of the Empe
ror's own creation, and it cannot but bow to
his will The change Of sentiment which this
body has experienced on this very reform ques-
ton is proof positive on this matter. II we did
not know the kind Of work the Prince had done
already we might have thought that he was
wildly revolutionary and that this last speech
betokened immediate revolution. This last
speech of Plon Plon, however, has not de-
ceived US. It was feeler. The Emperor
now knows better than he knew before what
France wants. This is gain. But this is
not the only gain. It Is something for France
to think that the Prince may be in the Empe-
rors confidence and that the Emperor is dis
posed to be more liberal than his advisers, and
in favor of q course which they will not sane
ton. Looked at and judged from this
point of view the speech Of the Prince
is an unmistakable gain to Napoleon, and,
what is better, to his dynasty. In short time
the new constitution will come before the
Corps Legislatif in some form or other. The
Corps Legislatif cannot be more literally dis
posed than the words of the Emperor's cousin
imply that he himself is, and that probably the
Emperor is willing to become. Whether these
speculatons are true or whether they are not,
this, at least, is certain-that the Emperor,
without any sacrifice Of dignity, can make
larger concessions to popular demands If such
demands are made. We have no right to look
for an honest speech from any such quarter.
If Napoleon should be suddenly called away
from the cares Of State Prince Napoleon would
become an important parsonage. The En-
would not lessen his influence; out Of
France he might be more powerful than in it..
One thing must be admitted as settled: the
Prince has gone in for advanced liberalism. If
the power should ever by any chance come
into his hands he will stand committed, az he
stands now committed, in favor Of popular
rights and against imperialism. If the Empe-
ror endorses the views of Prince Napoleon he
must, we think, be sorry that he is the author
of 'sLife of julius Cesar"

The European Government Telegraph
Synt0m.


System.
The European governments appear to have
discovered the value of taking the telegraph
lines under their control, and they have learned
also that the public are very extensively the
gamers by the operation. While England has
taken the initiative in assimiating the tele-
graph to the postal system, equally good re-
suits are observable in Belgium and in Switzer
land, with regard especially to money orders
In these countries, for instance, as it is pub
licly stated, the plan used is simple, and very
much like that which at present prevails with
post money orders Two similar forms have
been filled up in the same way by the remitter
they show the amount of money to be sent.
The postmaster receives these cards and the
money. He stamps one of them and gives it
wish by way of telegram. 1t is then sent to
the telegraph Office, and the receiver, by ap-
plying with the telegram at the district post
Office, obtains the money.
In England the money order system will
probably be more simplifed, If we can credit
the statement that the plan decided upon Is
this: That three kinds of Offices will be es
tablished-Ohlces of deposit, sub-telegraph
Offices and head telegraph Offices. In the first
messages will be received; they will also be
collected in struggling districts by the post
messenger and the mail cart driver. The sub
telegraphic offices will be in conn ection with a
central Office, from which they can be sent all
over the country The chief Offices will act
like the General Post Office in the case Of
letters-will forward messages collected at the
minor stations and by them obtained at the
various repositories.
This is q programme from which we might
learn something upon matters of detail. There
can be no doubt about the principle of the
thing. Sooner or later our government will
have to take the management of the tele-
graph into its own hands, and the sooner the
better. Whether we shall adopt the systems
which prevail in England. Belgium, or Switzer-
land, will, of course, be matter of convent
ence. Our government is supposed to know
the plan best suited to the advantages and
convenience Of the people in this country.
There Is material for study in the recently de-
veloped facts upon this Geographic question,
and it is to be hoped that the administration
will not 60 to sleep upon it.

SECRETARY BOUTWELL, IN WALL STREET
The Secretary of the Treasury has done a
commendable thing in making leisure visit to
Wall street and giving audience, as he did yes
terday at the Sub Treasury, to the bankers,
both public and private. Speculation is 50
rife in financial circles, and the stock gambling
fraternity have of hate become 80 powerful,
that serious detriment is threatened to the
mercantile interests in the fall trade. The
''bulls' and ''bears" are waging a bitter war
against each other, and the Secretary of the
Treasury is invoked to assist one or the other
side. The ''bears" in gold say there is no
way out of the difficulty except to sell gold.
The 'bulls" in government securities want
him to buy more bonds. The merchants wish
him to keep the money market easy or they
cannot get through the fall activity without
bankruptcy. II behooves Mr.. Boutwell, to act
independently of the cliques and stockholders
and do only what the requirements of sound
business demand.

TROUBLE IN LANCASHIRE. All the Ian
cashire mills are set up in the first place on
given state Of facts, and operated with very
small margin for possibilities. Any consider
able change of the relations of trade in the
wrong direction must therefore be disastrous.
Just now the price of the raw material is high,
and the price of the manufactured article, on
account of competition and full market, is
not correspondingly advanced; hence trade is
depressed and Lancashire cries out.

be the party platform on the niger question.

bear. We are In no hurry to settle
these claims. We do not and shall
not admit that there is any parallel between
the action of the British government in recog-
nizing the beliigerency Of an integral portion
of this republic and any action that we may
take in the case of neighboring American
people fighting to throw off the despotic yoke
of European Power. The time must come
when the opportunity will arise and we shall
have the power to settle the Alabama claims
in our own way. This bugbear will
not deter the people and government of the
United States from sustaining Cuba and from
carrying out a great and cherished American
policy on this hemisphere. But if we may
Judge from the tone of the leading press of
England no effort will be made to Illustrate the
action Of the American government or to pre-
vent Cuba from becoming Independent. AS to
Austria, it is sheer nonsense to speak about
her interference. The rumored tripartite Goa
lition is canard and an impOssiblity.
Spain may buster and be foolish enough to
send out to Cuba iron-clads and fresh troops,
but she is not so stupid as to think of war with
the United States should this country recog
nize the independence of the Cubans. She
has enough to do at home, and no nation
would lend her helping hand. Not that we
have much confidence in the wisdom of SPAIN
for she foolishly fought to the bitter end and
ruined herself to no purpose in her wars with
the South American colonies, and it is posi-
BILE she may do the same in the case of Cuba
Nor is this country under any obli-
cation to Spain to foregO its policy
towards Cuba; fer during our civil war
she proved herself unfriendly in joining
at first the coalition against Mexico
and republican institutions and in her attempt
to subjugate San Domingo, as well as in the
war upon the South American republics. We
have made most liberal offer to Spain for the
independence of Cuba and wish to maintain
friendly relations with her, but we owe her
nothing-no considerations beyond these-and
should study only our own interests, the cause
of humanity and the progress and perpetuatiOn
of republican Institutions on all American ter
ritory. Peru has set us an example in recog
nizlng the independence Of Cuba, and this
great republic should not be slow in following
it. Indeed, it is question if our government
ought not to have been first and to have set an
example to the other American republics But
the time has come and events have so culmi-
mated on this Cuban question that the admins
tration win prove itself weak and lacking FORE
sight if it does not at once take decisive action
for the independence of Cuba. The public
mind is ripe for 1.-THE people expect it of the
government. Sooner or later the independence
of Cuba must come, and delay on the part of
the United States will only complicate the
question aud lead to more bloodshed and de-
vastation on the island. Prolonged negotia-
tons aud red tape diplomacy can accomplish
nothing. Prompt and decisive action by Cen
eral Grants administration is the only solution
of the difficulty.
