II is refreshing to turn from the petty and
personal interests involved in party elections
to the deliberate consideration Of the underly-
ing principles of our political and social sys-
ten. The ninth session of the American Social
Science Association at Philadelphia affords us
an opportunity of doing this Many practi-
cal politician, so-called, might be edited by
the papers read on Tuesday before this associ-
alton. Such a politician would, moreover, be
surprised at the direct bearing which many
of them had upon the most urgent practical
questions which can demand his attention. The
very titles Of the papers indicate the actualty
of the speculations advanced by their writer's.
"AIining Legislation" was deliberately treated

Canada, by Mr.. e. IL. Derby; "Minority Re-
presentation in Europe" by Mr.. Thomas Hare,

and ELECTORAL Reform, by ex-senator c. Il.

fair to say that their range Of topics is so ex-

If figures prove anything they prove that tho
Fire Department Of this city, under its present
management, is aNwell conducted part Of ouS
city government, and Is an additional evidence
OF the efficiency Of the departments created BY
the Charter passed by the last Legislature
The Board of Fire Commissioners are certainly
entitled to good deal of credit for the way
IN which the department has been managed.
Il appears that during the six months Of 1863
'ron Aprh 10 September-the losses by fire
were $l,316,5lO while during the same
mouths under the new management there was
decrease in the losses of So6l .225,
When we remember that the members of the
new organization went into Office only la,t
spring there is great deal of credit due TO tha
members of the Board and to the president,
Mr.. Hitchman, for the satisfactory results.
The telegraph alarm has contributed grealls
to the suppression Of fires by enabling tha
active force OF firomen to reach the scene
Of disaster quickly. AT present the fire alarm
extends no farther up town than Fourteenth
street. Considering the danger, which is al
any time imminent, of terrible conGagrations
~ 'uS ha'uolouS hahuiaStuii"S cstaOiiSAuoutn
in the upper end Of the island, it seems neces-
sary that TIE irc telegraph line should be ex-
tended to the extreme point OF the island.
The Fire Department thus, in the reported
figures, presents very satisfactory record;
and, indeed, the same may be said OF all the
other public departments-the Department Of
Parks, Of Public Works, the Department Of
Piers and Docks, and the Department Of
Health. If they continue as they have begun
to perform the duties required of them the
public will have reason TO be content that the
city is governed with a view to the comforts
Of tie people in the beautiful parks, the safety
of property, In the reduction Of disasters by
fire, and in the general improvements Of the
metropolis

SEEBAoH's FAREWELL. This evening Marie
Seebach gives her farewell performance in
New York prior to her departure for fresh
fields Of success in the West. Tonight she
essays that difficult Shakspearian character,
Katharine, in ''The Tanning Of the Shrew." !"
This is her first attempt at interpreting
Shakespeare in America She has been pro-
nounced by critics in Germany, where
Shakespeare found his best translators and
interpreters, as almost unequalled in this
role. There will undoubtedly be much
interest felt to hear the great trdgedSenne In
this play. She has reached the highest point
Of sublimity and produced the finest touches
of nature in such parts as Marie Stuart, Jane
Eyre. Adrienne, Valerie and Marguerite. Her
first rendition of Shakespeare will be novelty,

Tho War siiuatiOn-The Surrender Of Metz.
The capitulation of Metz is now said to have
included one hundred and seventy three thou
sand prisoners-a blow at the military power
OF France more disastrous than Sedan. 1t
completely obliterates the regular army and
deprives France OF two more Of its most capa-
bio generals-Bazane aud Canrobert. There
seems to be no further hope Of successful
resistance, except 10 enthusiastic France
whose sanguine temperament probably even
in such crisis as the present hopes against
hope. We hear as yet nothing from the
authorities Of France as TO the views they hold
regarding peace under the changed prospect
With Metz no longer theirs nearly two hun
dred thousand OF their skifully trained sol
diery prisoners, the services Of two Of their
most competent marsha!s rendered null, what
il there 20 hope for )? IL is stated that the
armis.ics; but that the surrender of Metz
may have the effect OF changing
their views in that matter. There certainly
seems to be but one way now TO prevent the
bombardment Of Paris, and that is By accent
ing terms of peace Nevertheless from all
sections Of the republic come reports of desu-
tory fighting, of the same useless character,
unconnected with any determined effort to
relieve Paris or to save the republic, that the
French have apparently looked to ever since
Sedan as the only means Of resisting the
enemy. There is skirmishng on the Loire
near Orleans, and another great battle is said
to be Imminent there. stout resistance at
Mezieres is made; Amiens is Jealous
in providing means Of defence; ths Francs
tlreurs are especially active and have sue
ceeded in capturing provision train, and
more partially successful sortcs have been
made from Paris. But these are Of no import
ance beside the great Prnssian victory at Mctz.
That one success would oyershadow and neu-
tra!ize thousand of the desDltory and de-
tached victories that seem to content the
French. Poor France has been defeated, not
through her want OF zeal or courage, not
through the gallantry Of her soldiers or the
self-sacriIlcing spirit of her citizens or her
statesmen, but through the deplorabe lack of
organization left her as an imperial legacy.
She can make pc GO without shame Let her
make If.

The Appeal Of the German widows

From several OF the Prussian provinces
there has gone up to Berlin q powerful appeal
for peace that must touch the tenderest sym
pathies OF Count Bismarck and King william.
II is the voice of destitute widowed mothers
in favor of themselves and their half-orphan
children. This petition against the further
prosecution of the war has been signed by
thirty-fve thousand seven hundred and fifty
three widows in Westphalia, Rhenish Prussia
and Hanoyer-widows whose husbands had
been slain In battle, leaving them with seventy
eight thousand seven hundred and sixty chill
dren in imminent peril of starvation In Ian
guage beautiful in its simplicity, terrible in
its truthfhlncss and melting in its pathos,
those sOrrowing and suffering German women
point out the sad industrial and social conse-
qucnces Of tha war and implore King William
to spare his people any further aggravation Of
them. Many OF the factories in which those
women might have hoped to procure employ
ment are closed; funds that under other cir
cumstances might have been applied to their
relief are used by the government for the pro-
secution of the war. Their condition could
hardly have been worse than it is at present
had the German armies been defeated aud the
Fatherland Invaded by the French aud now
the only hope they have against utter indi-
gence and death is in the speedy re-estabIish-
ment of peace.
We In this country can heartily sympathizs
with these stricken families of Germany as
well as with those of France. In our war Of
the rebellion there was hardly home through
out the country that did not feel The effects of
the ravages of war-hardly woman who
was not called upon 10 mourn the loss Of hus-
band, son, father, brother or dearest friend.
Already the loss Of life in France and Prussia
has been proportionately greater than it was
with us, while the destruction of property in
France has been far more extensive than it
was in the South. 1t will require perhaps a
quarter Of century for France to recover from
much OF the injury inflicted on her during the
summer Of this year, while some of the losses
she has sustained can never be restored. The
victories which the Prussians have achieved
have been dearly bought, for the destruction
Of human life has been greater on the Prussian
side than on the French. When Napoleon III.
declared war against his royal rival for
national supremacy the war spirit In Germany
rose to the highest point But now war songs
have given place to prayers for peace, and
throughout the Fatherland the supplications of
stricken widows and orphans, bereaved by the
loss Of loved ones and threatened with extrem-
est want, rise high above all the rumors and
that come across to us from England and the
Continent. The best thing for both France
and Prussia now is peace, and we sincerely
trust that this wall of the widows and their
prayers for peace will have the desired effect

THE DANGER OF CHRISTIANS IN CHINA
1t will be seen from our telegraphic dispatches
to-day that the Christian population in
China-European and American-are in great
danger. 1t is said chat q day has been fixed
for general attack on all the Christians in
the empire. If China is able in this civilized
age to repeat the st. Bartholomew massacre
it will not be good for China but Great
Britain, Russia and the United States will not
be free from blame. 1t is evident that the
Chinese people are under some horrible
priestiy influence, and that if they are not
restrained they will do some terrible work
1t is high time that the three Powers just
mentioned were taking vigorous steps to pro-
tect life and civilization in China.

Hon. FERNANDO WOODS OPINION OF GEM
ERAL GRANr.-Mr Wood to detachment Of
the Tammany turnout on Thursday night,
said, in the course of a pretty lengthy
harangue, that in his opinion General Grant
''is man totally devoid Of executive capacity,
without single qualification for the discharge
of his important duties; that 'sit is difficult to
conceive person more unqualified than Gen.
cal Grant for his present position y that !;
mediocrity exhibits itself in all he does;" that
'loubtless as soldier he had stubborn cour-
aye, but so has bulldog; but no one would
think Of making bulldog President in con-
seNence;" that, ''in short General Grant
ant his administration are failures, lamentabla
andgnominious failures" and so on. This 10
the Hon. Fernando Woods opinion; and.
beins one Of those learned judges who pro-
nouned the war against the rebellion '.fail-
ure, lothing more need be said on the sub
ject.

COLLEGE JOURNALISM. .-In a number Of the
most prominent colleges in the United States
the publication Of local journals has become
an established fact. This is not bad idea, If
the character Of the articles that are allowed to
appear in the papers in question does not tend
too much toward the sophomorical style. BY
becoming familiar with writing for the press
many of our young college students may
eventually make practical journalists-a pro-
fession that is rapidly assuming front rank
in the higher walks Of science and general
usefulness TO mankind.

II was pleasant and oonsoling episode in
the history Of Eugene's exile, that visit of tue
Prince and Princess of Wales to the romantic
old mansion at Chiselhurst on Wednesday to
pay their respects to the fallen Empress.
Stripped of her high rank, banished from tue
home where she ruled in most royal fashion
for so many years, this visit 10 her English
home by the heir to the throne OF England and
his princess must have been soothing to her
wearied and disturbed heart. The visit had
twofold significance, for it was not only an act
of private friendship, but visit of state, in
which the Queen, though not present, was
represented officially by her lord chamber
lain, and in kindly way by the Prince, who
was charged by his mother to renew the ex-
preston of her sincere sympathy with the
misfortunes of the Empress. The young
French Prince did the honors of the occasion,
and no doubt he stood the baptism of COM
pliments much better than he Gid his famous
baptism of fire at Weissenbourg 1t is meet and
proper that the ex-Empress should be thus
kindly noticed by the royal family of England.
Eugene was always good, lovable woman,
both in her private and her public sphere, who
earned for herself everywhere the respect of
the world. Even those who do not love the
imperial system which gave her throne and
crown do not refuse their sympathy to her
now that she has lost both.

A memorable episode Of the Franco Prus,
sian war was the brave little fight which pre-.
ceded the capture of Chateaudun. Barricadea
were erected aud for ten hours the invading
hosts were stoutly resisted The determined
but unsuccessful attempt of the seven thou
sand inhabitants to defend their homes ca,la
to mind scenes which Spain 80 often presented
during the Peninsular campaign, when the
entire people Of u town or village, priests,
mobiles, lawyers, doctors, traders, and even
the women and children, fought gallantly
against the foe. II every town and village in
France could be aroused to similar spirit OF
resistance the Prussans might be driven out
of France, or, at least, their very victories
would be so costly as to induce them to hesl.
tate before entering on winter campaign.
Chateaudun was delightfully."- situated on d
hillside. Rebuilt in 1928, after terrible frl
by which 1t was almost entirely destroyed, its
numerous tanneries and factories Of woollep
goods and OF hats, its active trade in cattle,
wines and hemp, and its well-constructed
houses, gave it quite modern look. Its prn,
cipal historical monument was its chateau, a
precious edlice OF the tenth century, once the
property of the Duke de Luynes, constable OF
France and first minister of Louis XIII. The
Saintc Chapelle, the churches of the Madeleine,
Of st. Valtrien, of st. Jean, of Notre Dame du
Chande and the ruins Of Notre Dame de la
Boissieres, were all interesting to the tourist,
But antiquities and modern improvements
have all suffered a common fate at the hands
of the vandals who, not satisfied with captur-
ing Chateauiun, have burned it to the ground,

1t deserved to be. 1t has taken more than
seventy years and the expenditure of hundreds
of millions Of treasure to erect the public
buildings now ornamenting the national capi-
