FORTHCOMING CHANGES IN EUROPEAN
POLITICS.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Whatsoever may be the issue of the present
reforms in France, they must greatly con-
tribute to change the course of European
politics, and the farther they are carried the
greater will be their influence Whether the
immediate results of such change will be
for better or for worse is another question;
but the change must take place, and we should
be prepared for it.
The reasons for expecting such change
are various, and the most important of them
quite obvious. While England was the only
European country with parliamentary form
of government and with a free press, all the
important political questions of the conti-
nent for fifty years were practically decided
by the intervention or non-interventlon OF
this country. And the chances of this inter
vention OF non-interve1tion could always be
calculated with considerable safety. The
various European cabinets, receiving our
newspapers together with our official des-
patches, were perfectly able to appreciate not
only the policies of the Government but the
temper and opinion of the country. SO great,
indeed, were the chances of successful calcu-
lation in this way, that the only instance OF a
mistake since the time of the Vienna Con-
| gress Is that of the Emperor Nicholas when
he resolved upon his last war; unfortunately
he did not care as he said, ''for what those
P"'enV anu WATERPROOF DulluOBS are uooif,ii.i-
ing he knew well that his friends Bright
and Golden would bring them to reason" :"
but the political perspicacity of the late hus-
sian Emperor was peculiar; and with the
single. exception he presents to us, no
European sovereign can be accused of mis-
taking the position and the spirit of England.
Indeed, several of their undertakings have
been chiefly founded upon our too openly
proclaimed system of Neutrality-suspicious. of
which the last Polish and Prussian affairs are
capital instances. This system, like every

of change, all with the sole object of foster
ing partisan power.
From the manipulated votes of West Vir-
ginia, Missouri, Nebraska Nevada Tennes-
see, North Carolina Florida, South Carolina,
Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas-brief as
has been their space of power--the country
has suffered so much that il is time once more
to raise the Democratic protest and warming
against bogus States. Most of these we have
mentioned will certainly revert to conserva-
tism, 1T is true, at no distant period, but it is
not enough to cure evil We should prevent
it, and the best prevention is one that ought
now to be agitated in order to receive atten-
ton in that Federal Convention we are des-
tined to have--a restriction to wit, in the
Federal Constitution against the admission of
new States save on two-thirds vote of both
houses, as borne on the roll. Such was the
benefcent rule proposed and carried, but, un-
fortunately, afterwards stricken out, in the
convention framing the Federal Constitution
in 1887. Such, also, was the second of those
amendments to that Constitution proposed
by the far-famed Hartford Convention, and
such the rule Of admission prescribed by the
late Confederate Constitution. A rule thus
originally inserted in the Constitution, after
wards approved by the two most opposite
schoolsaof politics ever known in this coun-
try, and now endorsed by our own experience,
is greatly needed.

Really, Il might be q relief to the conscience
o. the average American juror-wnch cons
science, whe N IL exists, must no " be often ve.y
sorely strained-if we could but Introduce luJo
our courts the French custom OF permitting
juries TO return verdict of guilty with ex-
Genuating circumstap ces." II Is true Juat under
favor OF this custom French juries do very
astonishing things. One man cOuvlcte1 Of
numbering his mother was found "gulltv with
eXtenuating circumsta tanceS," the said extenu-
ating circumstances consisting apparently in
the fact that he murdered his motuer With 81
blue cotton umbrella. Another gentle soul n
peasant, who burnedlup both his parents In
hayloft, was passed upon In the same terms,
because he had dutiful and adectiDnste
enough not to knock their brains out
or strapgle them before he roasted them. But.
at least, the French juries are not forced
to peIjure themselves by declaring guilt which
is proved TO be innocence Had the French
system prevailed here. we might have had
General Cole found guilty with the "extenu.
ating ciTcu instance that the person whom ne
murdered was his particular friend, aud there
fore presumably 1T to be murdered. But we
should have escaped the scandal of his bald
acquittal II may be objected that in the

Governor Geary's Recent Statement Re
IatiVe 10 Her Case.

The New York World of this moIning says:-
1t turns out at last that Governor Geary's reply
10 the New York Hester Vaughan meeting was
an apocrypha to conceal Philadelphlan
brotherly Indifference. His statement was not

who yet swarmed like bees about the brutal
Dlack ravisher confined In the same city. Two
women, and two only, visited Hester Vaughan
before the New York meeting, and one OF these
was susan A. Smith, M. D., TO whom. as she
neIseH alleges, no confession of guilt was ever
made by Hester, though we were told, when
the Governor Tried to shield Philadelphia with
ms aPocIy pnai statements, that confession had
peen maae 10 Dr. Smith and Governor Geary's
