A FINANCIAL CONTRAST

The floating debt of France, ac-
cording to the financial budget just
made public, has been reduced two
millions of francs during the past
year. Estimates for the present
year promise an excess of eighty six
millions of francs in receipts over
expenditures. The surplus is to be
devoted TO reduce the extraordinary
budget, and forty two millions of
francs are to be made applicable to
the redemption of the rentes. The
minister of finance declares that the
gratitude of the nation is due to the
Emperor for removing the only
causes of rupture between the Euro
pean powers and for allaying inter
national and domestic distrust. The
accomplishment of such results in
the menacing state of Europe, and
with the enormous standing army
which France is keeping up, presents
a contrast to our own financial con
dition not very gratifying to con-
template. During the three years
of peace which have interviewed
since the war, the disbursements OF
the government have successfully
been S52O,OOO,0OO, S346, 100000 and
1898, 100000 If to these amounts
are added S372,O0O,000, estimated as
necessary for the fiscal year ending
the Both of June, 1869, we have 8

during the four years Immediately
succeeding the war, or nearl y as
much as was expended during the
seventy-two years that preceded the
war, embracing not only ordinary
but the extraordinary expenditures
of the government, such as Oul
wars with Great Britain and Mexico
hostilities with powerful Indiar
tribes; the purchase of Louisian:

The progress OF austria toward a
reOrgani - Jon of her army, the
growth and development of a union
between tbe house Of Hapsburg and
Hungary, and the evident agree
ment and understanding which exist
between Napoleon and Francis Jo-
seph, have awakened the fears of
Bismarck and he is again playing
the "bully." The cause of pre-
tended offense is the retention in
office, on the part of Austria, of
Baron Won Beust This iron handed
statesman is a rock in the path of
Prussian aggression and centrahza-
ton. He is notwilling that all Ger
many shall lie PROSTATE at the feet
of Prussia, and his efforts have been
potential in thwarting many of the
recent plans of the national monopo-
Users. The threat of Bismarck, that
the continuation of Baron Won
Beust in office would provoke Sc
rious action On the part of Prussia,
will not fall unheeded on the other
Great Powers at this time. Europe
is in no condition to be disturbed
by war, provoked by Prussia, to
forward her ambitious designs, nor
will France allow such an event to
take place. An attempt to light the
flame of war in middle Europe at
this time, would assuredly array
against the offending nation both
Russia and France, and the knowl-
edge of that fact will compel both
Bismarck and his royal master to
keep the peace.

threats of personal violence from radical
negroes.
