''THE will of the people" is popular
fiction so far as its power is concerned.
When Carl SchurZ, the liberal republican
candidate is sent to congress, he is to be
excluded from all Senatorial csucuses and
is to be dropped from all important con-
gressional committees. But the man who
was defeated for governor-what is to be-
come of him? Well, the people having
decided that he shall not hold Office, and he
having been tho friend of the administra-
ton, there is but one thing to be done.
place in the cabinet must be made for the poor
man, whom a misguided public refused to
elect to office. SO says the St. Louis Re
publican. Is not this right? What bust
ness have the people to refuse to support
the candidates of the government? Whether
right or wrong, the practice may q. least be
supported by presidents.

THAT magnificent coffin into which Meth
er Baron Moltke nor the Duke of Nassau
were willing to be put, is still q great mis-
terry. Who it was made for, who was care
fully guarded in it on his journey to the
tomb, where it went to, and what has be
come of it, are still serious questions. A
Berlin correspondent Of the LoAdon Times
confesses himself quite unable to unrsvel
the lugubrous affair. The most probable
solution is that the French concocted the
story to make their troops believe Moltke
dead and SO inspire q momentsry courage.
Or it might have been the device of some
Pruss an paymaster to get his gold safely
through the enemy's country. There is still
in this thing an unlimited score for the play
of the Imagination, and q magnificent coffin
strongly guarded by reticent sodiery
is mos, fascinating and provoking object
before the curious mind.

AT and around Paris all is apparently
quiet. The same may be said regarding the
Eastern battle fields in France. The news
however, regarding the movements of the
army of the Loire are highly important. 1t
is said that the army Of General Won der
Taun at Toury has been outAAnked, and
that the French are at Esampes, within
about thirty miles Of Versailles, and forty of
Paris. The all absorbing question at present
IS not so much the Franco Prussian war,
which is, so to say, in status preparatory
for future events, but the Russian or Eastern
war question, which may set all Europe
ablaze, and involve England, Italy, Austria
and most of the other European na,ionalities
And powers 1t is impossible to say which
way tho course of events will turn, but that
Russia will carry her point seems to be
