"The adoption of these propositions Dy the

Ironworkers from all parts of England TO the

too ant to hold their "missuses" down with
an iron hand.
The whole story is full of suggestion TO our
own Trade Unions, and to all women among
us who are wives and in search of their work.
The ideal woman of the Scriptures spun linen
and scarlet for her servants, but strength and
honor were her own clothing before the world
Yet she was content to be only help-meet'
after all. There is a little sequel to the story
which has its moral too. Mrs. Kane, with all
her strength and discretion, was tempted at
the Testimonial Meeting (by some Advanced
Woman, doubtless) to make speech, and
spoke with false taste, inconsequence, ana
bombast enough to delight the hearts OF any
of her American sisters.

A disaster, more alarming in It's suggestions
than in it's actual results, occurred yesterday
in Maiden-lane, in an explosion OF gasoline OF
which infiammable stuff, it appears, 100 barrels
were stored in the cellar of single building.
An effort was made last Winter to pass law
authorizing the Fire Commissioners to regu-
late the storage of these explosive substances,
but the Legislature was too busy in arrang-
ing municipal affairs to the satisfaction of
Tammany to pay any attention to the matter
and the bill did not pass. We presume that
the effort will be renewed next Winter, and it
should be successful. No city can afford to
permit these substances, which are more dan
gerous than gunpowder to be stored in its
midst

The REPUBLIC FOR FRANCE.

We earnestly trust that the Republicans of
France will not let slip the present Opportu-
nifty for terminating the power of the relent-
less despOt who crushed the rebellion of
1s4s; who perpetrated the bloody massacres
of the I'd of December; who has carried on a
long and cruel war against every manifesto
ton of Republicanism or Liberalism; who
crushed the freedom of the press and
tee freedom of assembly; who manacled
France to serve his ambition who organized
despotism for his own glory; who is the direst
enemy of the generous soul OF France, and
who has been the armed upholder and repre-
sentative of Casarsm in the modern world.
The "Man of December must be destroyed,
and it is the people of France who should
bring him to destruction. We believe that
the opportunity for the Republicans of France
has arrived, or will very soon arrive. IL they
fail on any account whatever to take advant-
age OF tiff they permit the resumption of
the Bonapartist power which has been in
allegiance since the outbreak of the war-if
they permit the reestabishment of Bour-
bonism or the Orleans family under any DOS
sible conditions, they will again have cause
as they have had in former times, bitterly TO
lament their weakness, their indecision, and
their dissensions.
!: Is ouT h1aSSirssss hope that the Republic may
appear in France at this crisis. We believe

The Canadians who are eager to know their
political fate and determine whether in the
future they are to be dependent Colony, free
State, or independent Dominion, have pre-
pared petition to the Queen, which we pub
lish elsewhere, proposing to have matters
settled at once. Among other things it sug-
gests is three-sided Convention to be held In
New-York or Montreal, and to be composed OF
English, Canadian, and American representa-
tives, who shall discuss, but not decide, what
is to become of the poor Colony. If it will
result in satisfying the Canadians as to what
destiny is in store for them, and induce them
to stop bothering us and themselves with their
schemes, by all means let us have the Con-
yentiOn.
New-York tribune., 1870-08-26

The Parsians at present are suffering the IN
convenience of not knowing when to applaud.
Hitherto they have depended upon Napoleon's
arrangements which worked as nicely as a
mechanical cIaque-the machine that was IN
vented by manager of French provincial
theater to secure a proper control OF the feel-
ings of his audiences. That consisted of sets OF
hammers whose rapping initiated that OF the
boots and canes, and castanets whose clapping
sounded like that of the hands. The noise
came through openings under the chairs Of the
audience, and rarely failed to elicit sympa-
thetic plaudits. The manager had only to pull
the wires in his Office, to start and graduate
the applause. The machine used by Napoleon
worked as well as usual for the first few days
after its wires were extended to Metz But
now that by pulling too hard he has broken
the connection, it is very dangerous business
to allow Bazaine or PalikaO or even Trochu to
90 fumbling about pulling in stupid way at
the severed ends. If the Parisians that sit so
patiently waiting for something to applaud,
once suspect the trick that has SO long been
put upon them, they may tear up not only the
flooring that has been used for concealment,
but the very foundations of the building.

THE FRENCH ARMY ON THE OFFENSIVE.

THE FRENCH ARMY ON THE OFFENSIVE.
Something of the plans for the future con-
duct of the war is revealed in the latest dis
patches from Europe The prospects of peace
without another bloody engagement are dissi-
pated. France rushes insanely into struggle
which the destruction of her army would seem
to render a vain sacrifice of misguided valOr,
and which can scarcely fail to end in her
deeper humiliation. Where before she
had evil counsels and laundering leader
ship she now neither listens to wise
counsel nor accepts able direction. There is
no man in Paris-in the Legislature or the
army-bold enough, nor indeed strong enough,
10 take the destinies of the country in his own
hands, and conclude peace for the nation at
the sacrifice of the dynasty which has ruined
it. The hopeless struggle-as hopeless to
France as was the cause of the Confederacy
when Grant held Lee at Petersburg, and Sher-
man paraded through Georgia to the sea-
must be continued; and it is clear that the
conflict has entered upon new and startling
phase.
Marshal MacMahon, trusting the defense of
Paris to the Garde and the citizens, has under
taken to raise the siege OF Metz and relieve
Bazaine. The Crown Prince, trusting the re-
duction of Metz to the armies of Prince Charles
and Steinmetz, has committed his army to
further offensive operations in the direction OF
Paris. This Is briefly the situation as now
revealed to us. The movement of the Crown
Prnce is certainly daring; that of the French
Marshal is not less certainly desperate.
Marshal MacMahon's movement northward
from ChaLons and Reims did not begin, it
will be observed, until the morning of the
22d. 1t was evidently begun in haste, for
large quantities of stores were destroyed at
Chalons, in consequence of the necessity for
departure. 1t may have been forced by the

The steamer lately seized by the uh'eu
States authorities. on the charge that she was
fitting out for an expedition against the
Spanish power in Cuba, has been turned over
TO n squad of marines in the Navy ard.

no promise of immediate trial, and console the
owner with the assurance that as an mno-
cent man he must suffer some inconvenience

the Government to make an Investigator,

detention, without definite guarantees for In
Identification, is an outrage which no com
munity of merchants can sustain, and which
the Government cannot wisely commit Even
if the vessel is engaged in hostile movements
against Cuba, unless the charge that she has
been violating the neutrality laws is sustained
the detention is also an outrage. We submit
TO the Administration that this case VIII bear

We imagine that the Pennsylvania Gem
trial Railroad Company has no feeling with
reference to consolidation. Its officers, we
suppose, take no interest whatever in the
subject. The idea that because somebody
living on'the line off, proposed extension
of a road connected with the Pennsylvania
Central:opposes the consolidation bill the
Pennsylvania corporation is itself opposed
to it is extrayagant. Certainly it is not
just TO force all corporations and peoples
into the great consolidation strife. We
should regret the prejudicing in advance Of
the Pennsylvania company because we
think it probable that we shall have some
greater familiarity with that corporation at
some time not very remote. 1t is great
protection to community to have the bene-
tit Of competition between great corpora
tons. 1t Is a kind of salvation from the
ruthless expressions of one great monopoly.
