The Approaching Struggle ia Europe
From the ". y Herald.

The Approaching Struggle ia Europe.
From the ". Y. Herald.
Europe is Just now under conditions which
have had no parallel since the time when the
States system began to struggle into that Pc
culiar kind of existence which, with certain
notifications, has lasted for some centuries.
The first Napoleon disturbed 1t for brief
period. But the first Napoleon rose and fell,
and Europe was not 80 different after his
fall as Napoleon believed it would be.
Time has rolled on. Europe has undergone
changes. A new Napoleon has appeared,
with new thoughts, new plans, new pur-
poses. The new Napoleon has been COM
PEELED to admit the existence Of forces which
are not in perfect harmony with hts own.
For the last twenty-five years the armaments
OF Europe have been growing. They have
now reached a point which has no pa
rallel in the history of the past Over five
millions Of men are now under arms on that
continent. France, it is said, has an army of
one million three hundred and fifty thousand.
North and South Germany combined have an
army of one million two hundred and thirty
thousand. Austria has an army OF one mil
lion and fifty three thousand. Russia has an
army of one million four hundred and sixty
seven thousand. Italy has an army of nearly
five hundred thousand. We have not spoken
of Spain or Portugal, or of Denmark, or OF
Sweden, or of Holland, or of Belgium, or OF
Greece, or of Turkey. But from what we have
said, it W II naturally enough be inferred that
Europe has seldom in her whole history
biistled with arms as she does now.
What does it all mean? 1t can only mean
that Europe is in no settled condition, and
that an appeal to arms at no distant day is
regarded as inevitable. The truth is Europe
has come under entirely new conditions.
The railroad and the telegraph have made the
people impatient of the old-fas hioDed boun-
daIy lines. Why should the nationalitles
remain what they are Why should the
! great future be stayed simply in the interests
/ OF natiOnalities No one can answer these
| questions in favor of the present order OF
things. The peoples are gradually emanci-
| patng themselves. They are no longer
entirely at the mercy of the dynasties.
The press generally, but particularly the
newspaper, has given voice and an energy
to public opinion which public opinion never
mad before. This growth of a common senti-
ment, limited not by nationality, by language,
or by religion, but worldwide in its range, Is
one OF the most prominent and also one OF the
most hopeful characteristics of the age. But
i the power is yet in the hands of the dynasties.
Ihese immense standing armies are unmis-
taxable proof of this. The thrones are
propped by bayonets, and the prestige OF an
oient and parvenu houses alike can only be
maintained by the pomp and circumstance OF
| war; The European nations are already al

The Suffrage Amendments in Congress.

The Suffrage Amendments III Congress.
From the ". y. Times.
The controversy which has arisen between
the Senate and House on question affecting
the alleged rights Of the latter will not exps-
dite the adj ustment of differences in regard TO
the suffrage amendment. Too much feeling
has been aroused to render probable the i'm
mediate restoration OF very cordial relations.
The aversion entertained by a powerful party
in the House to the pretensions of the Senate
may be expected to take the shape of refusal
to surrender the essential features of the
amendment as in the first instance adopted
1t is quite possible that the larger scope and
aggressive character of the amendment pre-
sented by the Senate may he the means of
smothering the whole subject for the present
session.
The amendment as reported by the Recon-
struction Committee and passed by the House
is simple and moderate. 1t Is merely decla-
ration that
"The right OF any citizen 70 thesU nited ,ates
10 vote shall lot DO denied or abridged by the
United States or any State by reason of race,
or color, or previous condition of slavery, OF
any citizen or class of citizens OF the United
| States"
The Senate amendment is sweeping enough
to justify the charge of being revolutionary
preferred by Mr.. Conkling and others, who,
nevertheless, voted for it. The terms used
/ are:-
''No discrimination shall be made in the
| United states among the citizens of the United
Sates in the eX ereise OF the elective franchise,
] or in the right 10 hold ohice ia any state, on
