The rumOr of an alliance between France,
Austria, and Italy, as against Prussia and the
Pope, bears upon its face gross features of
doubt. Prussia was but lately in agreeable Dip
lOmatic relations with demonstrations not to be
vitality disturbed by the doctrines of the Sylla-
bus so long as they do not actually initiate
against Prussia-but it is not plausible spec
ulatiOn that the ultra Protestant King William
is willing to lend troops to the Pope in case
the French evacuate Rome. An act so entirely
at war with the progressive and Prussian SEN
timent of Germany would not, at all events,
be seriously contemplated by Count Bismarck

There is to be a Woman's Suffrage Conven-

Rev. Phebe Hannaford, and there is also M1s.
Julia Ward Howe, who breaches, but who has
the good sense not to call herself Reverend"
1t seems to us that women are rapidly eman-
cipating themselves from most of the dsabili-
ties of which they complain and perhaps it
will turn out at last that man isn't such per-
feet Bluebeard as has been supposed. Woman,
for slave, appears to have pretty much her
own Way.

Switzerland manifests the same timidity in the
case of Mazzini which Belgium is prone to ex-
hibit in that of Henri ROchefOrt, and both Gov
ernments have the same reason therefore, dread
of France. The traditions of the CarbOnari,
well remembered by Napoleon, and the CO.
existence of secret Republican societies
throughout Europe, have impelled the fear on
the part of Italy and France to which the
frightened Government of Switzerland has sur
rendered. 1t will be remembered that the late
riots in Italy and France were believed to
have been concerted and of enc origin. This,
without necessarily duplicating Mazzini, adds
to imperial apprehensions.

Summer visitors to New Hampshire have tn,

Summer visitors to New Hampshire have the
prospect of a treat which has never before
greeted weather tourists within our tenn
perate ATTITUDES. Bull Mountain, near Romney,
has begun to rumble and it is the opinion
of all that some kind of volcanic Robbery"
is going on inside. 1t may be quite absurd to
hope for regular eruption in the style of
Vesuvius and Etna but if the lava should
begin to run down the side of the mountain,
what rush there will be to see the sight
Perhaps we may in time even have Hercu-
laneum. Bull Mountain has heretofore been,
we believe q quiet and well-behaved protuber
ance; and considering its name it is possible
that the present rumble may have something
to do with the unsettled state of the Alabama
claims

Egypt is preparing for war; whether with
Turkey or some State in Africa, we are not
informed But if with the former it seems to
us that a calamity has been preciDitated which
the Sultan was the least likely to desire, and
should have been eager to prevent. The
trouble wrought to his empire by the wars OF
Mehemet Ali and his son, in which lsmael
Pasha's present semi-sovereignty was won, are
still grievous memories to the statesmen OF
Turkey. The possible cause OF the present
trouble is, perhaps, in connection with the
French negotiations of the Egyptian Viceroys
Minister, Nubar Pasha, for the abolition OF
Consular Courts and the establishment OF local
International Courts. In this measure the con-
cnrrepce of England. Italy, and Austria has

KANTRn-A KING

The heart of the Carlist revolt is still in the
Province of Ciudad Real, the old La Mancha
district, where 1t is said four thousand rebels
have appeared, forming but a part of that
Province. The neighboring district of Cor
dova is likewise disaffected; so, too, the Prov
ince of Valladolid, about hundred miles to
the northwest of Madrid, and, further north,
those of the Basques, the Asturias, Navarro,
and Barcelona. Not in all of these
places has it been ascertained that
disaffection is ripe; but in Navarro,
where 80 many lately refused to take the oath
to the new Constitution, an attempt happily
thwarted by small garrison, has been made
by the Carlsts to capture the town OF Pam
peluna. In Madrid some arrests have occurred,
but this was to have been expected.
Don Carlos, whose name inspires the new
instruction, brings to his cause no famous
gift Of intellect, and no personal pledge OF
progress; but a prince, according to an
old medieval prOverb, cannot with inn
punity exercise all the virtues-a maxim
of which Spain has felt all the force in
her princely intrigues and feuds. 1t is the
luck of Don Carlos, otherwise the Count Of
Montemolin, TO enter upon the scene at a
time when the clouded and stormy condition
of the Spanish horizon gives sign of the
! perplexed and ignorant want of king,
shared by the lowest classes Of Spain
in the leading-strings of their clergy.
The new revolution is. as usual, in favor OF
King Log, with the chances of securing King
Stork in the event Of success and it will be
aided by the intrigues of the Isabellists and
the malcontent officers Of the church, just as 1t
will be opposed by the hitherto unruly repub-
licans of Seville and elsewhere. Gen. Prim has
menaced the new rebellion with what he con-
templates as necessary cruelty, and now has
invoked the rigors of the martial law of 1921
whence we infer that the Carlist rising though
not invincibIe by such means as Prm will
ruthlessly employ, is formidable

IMMIGRATION.

We print this morning striking exhibit OF
what may be called the phenomena OF lmmi-
grafton. From the array of figures some re-
markable conclusions are drawn, particularly
with regard to what our population would
have been had Slavery not existed, and we
may gather from it why Mr.. JeffersOns pre-
diction as to what the population would be
by certain period proved unfounded. 1t Is
shown also that by reason of immigration we
possessed power to suppress the Rebellion, both
in able-bodied men of foreign birth and in the
wealth which their labor created The gold
and silver which has been added to our cur
rency is also alluded to, and there Is little
doubt that it has contributed much to support
our finances during periods when disasters In
the mOneyed world seemed inevitable. large
Der cent of foreigners seems to have consisted
of men in the prime of life, and, being melted
by the ambition to make their way in the
world and to have homes of their own, they
have added more to the material wealth of our
country than the same number OF people ma
tive born have done. Whether, as is stated,
they have added to our stock of agricultural
knowledge by reason of their experience
with other climates and soils, may be
questioned. Still, something may DO granted
to this end, inasmuCh as they undoubtedly
come into the occupation with views peculiar
10 themselves, and are enabled to select
from many IDEAS, to reject the false and
accept the true. There can be no manner
of doubt that they have been of immense ad-
vantage to our country by contributing their
skill in the mechanic arts. Indeed, there are
many branches in which they are uneycelled,
and our people would do well TO try and I'M
derstand in what manner they became in their
old homes so expert. We might mention
that the young men who have come from the
mining school of Freiburg and cast their lot
among us are notable examples Of what ele-
mentary training can do. We never shall
be able to do justice to ourselves, and at the
same time enter upon course of economic
development of our mineral wealth, even on
the Atlantic slope, until we raise up similar
class, fitted to be superintendent Of mines.
Another advantage derived from immigra-
ton has been found in our ability to engage in
great variety of internal improvements, not
only in the Atlantic but also in the Middle and
Western States; and we are reminded how
limited our means of transportation, and how
little developed vast sections of our country
now would be, had we been deprived of labor
from this source. The subject has wide
scope, and branches out into considerations
Of n most complex character. With new blood,
and even new and distinct classes of men
with peculiar mental predispositions, and with
immense vital power all OF which means a Sc
lection of the best out of past ages, now added
to the Anglo-Saxon race, and formed into what
must be called the AnRlo-American race, a
future development grander than any hitherto
known seems sure to be attained

three months after the opening OF the Caple
they reduced their tariff one-half. "itnn
less than three years after its opening tney
reduced it to barely one-tenth OF the
original rate. Under the active compe-
ton likely to be inaugurated whenever the
French Government shall meet the just
requirements of our administration concerning
the monopoly grant to the new Gable, we may
doubtless look for still further reductions; but
the present seems fitting time to acknowl-
edge the promptness and cheamess with wnicn

already served us.

Senator Sumner is avOwedly earnest in wish
ing that the Government shall pursue its neu
trail course in the Cuban question, and is re-
ported as favoring an effort to negotiate in be-
half of the Cubans for their purchase
of their own island. His sympathies
are cordially with the patriots in the
Antilles but he does not disguise that
our negotiations with Great Britain would be
compromised by the smallest official concession
to their cause. These opinions have been long
rumored as those of the Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. We
do not suppose, however. that the Senator de-
sires the inference to be drawn that merely
for selfish aim of our own we should sacri-
flee struggling cause. If neutrality is right.
it is right whether the Alabama claims exist

The ofice-holders have just discovered new
iniouity of the Income tax,-it bears harder on
them than upon any other class. We are not
sure that this is the worst thing we have heard
of the tax. If it would only put stop
to the rush for offices, We should
vote for preserving that feature Of it intact.
But as this is hopeless we may trust at least
to the aid of the Ofice-hOlders to help secure
the repeal of this most odious impost, just as
soon as the necessities of the Government shall

Joseph E. Segar is one of the few native
born Virginians, long active in the local
politics of the State, who early and consistently
sought to aid in the restoration of that ancient
Commonwealth to its old place in the Union.
After standing gained by a service of some
fifteen years in the Virginia Legislature, he
came forward as a candidate for Congress
from the Eastern District, as soon as that part
of the State had been restored to the National
authority, and held his seat in the
XXXVIIth Congress. Mr.. Segar's Union
ism has never been questioned, and it
is with the interest attaching at once to his
character as a Union man and as a Virginian
of the old school, that his letter printed on the
second page of this sheet concerning the re-
suits of the recent election, and the causes
controlling it, will be read He protests with
an emphasis which we know many of the
other leading men Of the Walker party repeat,
against the assumption that the Democracy, in
any shape or form, won q triumph at the
recent election, and enters into some interest
ing details as to the sources Of local opposition
to Wells. Meanwhile we have assurances from
Washington of earnest efforts on the part of
the Wells men 70 heal the breach in the Re-
publican organization in Virginia, and to unite
the Wells and Walker Republicans, on the
rational basis of Universal Suffrage and Uni
versal Amnesty

paper which declares him to be the Lamartine

cheap and easily bestowed. The Opinion also

Comments By The Tribune.
Mr. Cox is a perfectly good witness, and his
evidence is to the point. The Democrats of
Ohio, believing that they had been cheated in
tn, election of 1910, did, in the Legislature of
1872, pass an act intended to prevent fraudulent
vdng So that point is established.
And now let us add that the act was good for
n,thing, and that its authors should have known
it What was the abuse alleged That a lot
of river Characters and outsiders living in
Kentucky and all along shore, swarmed into
Cincinnati on Election day, and voted there,
beating DR.. Duncan for Congress and swelling
the vote for Tom Corwin as Governor. Let
us suppose this allegation was well founded,
what sense in providing that the offenders
should b DISTINGUISHED and precluded from
holding Office in OhioP Probably three fOurths
of them would never again try to vote there,
and of course could not hold Office
If fraudulent voting is to be prevented, the
true voters must be Disseminated from the
false as they are in other countries, as true
deeds are Disseminated from false in every
State of our Union. A Registration of Voters
will not suffice to prevent fraud; but no
scheme of prevention that EXCLUDES Registra-
ton is worth straw. To enact stringent pen
altes against Illegal Voting, and then allow
any one to vote who ia not challenged, or,
being challenged, viii swear that he Is q legal
voter, is simply to restrict Feputable, we'll
known, responsible ctiEehs to one vote each,
and allow Migrants, loafers strangers, and GRIM
inals to vote az often as they like, Neither
Mr.. Cox nor we could vote twice if we tried;

of Births and Deaths. An Ordinance for
raising a loan for the construction ofPub-

loan to enable the Mayor and Town

had been exceedingly hot and sultry,

which was favourable for the growing
canes, and promises a large return during
the last quarter of the year; but great

the cane juice and of the large quantity
of canes require6o yield hid. of sugar.
This state of things is expected to i'm
prove as the dry season sets in. The
usual chapter Of accidents accompanies

items of cutting aud w~ounding appears
the report of a number of Coolies having
