FINANCIAL SENTIMENT.
The Leading Financial journal of Europe on
NHp0IeOn's PIetcxt.

NnpoIeOn's Pietcxt.
The London Economist has long been the most
influential and conservative of the financial
journals of Europe. 1t is the last of all organs
of public opinion to be affected by sentiment
or passion, aud must be regarded as speaking
only the sober judgment of capitalists and the
common verdict of the business world, apart
from nationality, when it discusses the war ques-
tions now at issue. The following, therefore,
frum the Economist of July 49, upon the decla-
ration of war by France, has peculiar weight
and signifcance:-
''The declaration of war by France against
Prussia Is one of those awful events which bring
comment to a stand, aud which of themselves
make an impression far deeper and greater than
anything which can be said about them. This
time last week almost all the best judges In
Europe would have considered such an event
impossible. 1t was bad enough that France
should say that the accession of a very distant
relative of the King of Prussia to the throne of
Spain would be esteemed by her cdsus
beLH; 1t was worse In her to volunteer this
in an offensive way before any occa-
zion required it, and so as if possible to
cause quarrel 1t was yet worse in France
when Prince Leopold resigned his candidat ture
to ask for more, and want stipulations for the
future which were inconsistent with the dignity
OF Prussia, and which were meant To be refused;
1t was yet worse to make these further offensive
demands In an unprecedentedly often sive mau-
ner on the King of Prussia in public place; ont
worse than all is the sudden declaration of war
which implies foregone conclusion and
shows that, whatever may be said the momeu
tary caDdidature of the Hohenzollern prince
was but a pretext; that the Emperor
meant from the beginning to fight
Prussia, and meant nothing in the least else.
"a Bonaparte at the Tuileries was much more
of a menace to Europe than a Hohenzollern at
Madrid is of menace to France. Aud the
HobenZolern is not even at Madrid-on the
contrary, Gays he wont go there; and all the
complaint is that Prussia will not say that If
he changes his mind he sball not be let go there.
A pretext for great little specious and
so evsnesceIt was hardly ever seen.
Nothing that can be said is adequate to the
meaning of this most awful and painful event,
and it is most melancholy that with all our
boasts of civilization, aud after so many centu-
ries of Christianity, SO great crime (for ii is no
less) should be possible in the world"

RIOIin lIIlnOis.

ST. LOUIS, July 30.-A serious riot occurred
at Shelbyville, H., yesterday. 1t was occa-
stoned by the execution of Joseph Myers for
the murder of Clebesco Calhoun, two years
ago. Hubbard Holden, who was to have been
hanged with Myers for the same crime, had his
sentence commuted on Thursday by Governor
Palmer, which created great indignation, as it
was asserted that Holden planned the murder
and did the shooting.
1t was feared on Thursday night that the
people would attack the jail and release Myers
unless Governor Palmer surrendered Holden TO
the gallows, but there was lull in the storm
until yesterday morning, when the mob de-
manded that both men be hung or that Myers
should be released, Governor Palmer was ve-
hemently denounced on every hand. The jail
was guarded by one hundred armed men. While
the preparations were being made to hang
Myers several attempts were made to. tear down
the fence enclosing the seaffold, but the assail-
ants were repulsed each time by the guards.
Myers was executed, however, and ten
minutes after the mob charged the fence in
force and commenced tearing it dcwn; but
when they discovered it was too late to save
Myers, they dispersed, swearing eternal enmity
to Governor Palmer. But for conciiatory
speeches by several leading citizens, bloodshed
might have been the result.

A BASE MISUNDERSTANDING Will
liam b. Thomas In his West Philadelphia
speech charges Judge Kelley with being in
favor of Introducing coolie labor int this cDun-
try to cut down the wages of the American
laboring classes General Thomas, when he
made this assertion, either did not know what
he was talking about, or was making q delibe-
rate misrepresentation. We challenge him 10
show, by any speech, letter, or utterance of
Judge Kelley, anything that will in the slightest
degree sustain him in the assertion be made.
Until he does So he will stand before the com
niunity in light in which no gentleman who
values reputation for veracity would volunta-
rily assume. Judge Kelley occupies on the
coolie question the same position as has been
enunciated through the columns of the Protso-
tor aud which we believe meets the appro-
baton of all true Americans. While we
will give welcome to the people of all couu-
tries who come here voluntarily to earn an
honest livelihood and become permanent citi-
zene of this country we are opposed TO having
the people of any couHtry brought here under
forced contracts, by which they are sold for a
specified term of years. This is slavery in an-
other shape. At the proper time Judge Kelley
will give the people his views on this aud all
other questions in which they are Interested
and until then we ask them not to allow them
selves to be misled by any statements his enc
mics may MAKE against him.-FrOm hs Indus-

There is hardly greater fallacy entertained
by business men than the belief held by not a
few that steady and systematic advertising is re-
quired only to build up new business and net
needed to retain one already we'll established
They are under the impression, also, that be-
cause Mr.. Stewart, the great New York mer-
chant, has no signs on his immense establish
ments, he considers himself sufficiently before
the public, and does not need to advertise his
wares In the usual way, as smaller dealers feel
called upon to do. But nothing could well he
farther from the truth than these opinions. IL is
true that Mr.. Stewards mammoth buildings are
so conspicuous and so well known, By reason of
their location and size and beauty, that their
proprietor does not think Ii necessary to farther
advertise them to the passer by by plastering
their surface over with signs; but he does think
il necessary TO advertise, continuously and AT
length, the Inducements he Is able to hold ont
in both goods and prices to the general public,
rot only in the columns OF the New York papers,
but in those of nearly every city In the country.
In point OF fact he is by odds the sest adyer-
tiser ID the dry goods trade In New York; and We
are rot certain that his annual expenses for this
purpose do not equal the bills paid for the same
service by all Of his competitors added together.
This may, and doubtless will, seem strange to
those who have not looked into the matter, but
Il Is nevertheless the exact truth; and what a
lesson does the fact teach to merchants and
others who are struggling to establish business
or to retain one already established! IL Mr.

sblest and most earnest friends Of the WORKING

battles between the employer and employed are
Old stories Here they are comparatively new.
In England the operation and result of such
conflicts have been scientifically studied for
series OF years, and by no man more faithfully
than MI Hughes. He said, at Cooper Institute,
that in England strikes were an exploded fallacy
OF the past, abandoned by all sensible English
woTkiDemen- Also that the principal trade
unions OF England are no longer organized

number OF employers and employed meet and
S~lmly discuss and settle differ cnces are now
the fashion OF repairing that injustice or in
equality which strikes formerly in vain sought
