The feelinr 81 london AGAINST Franco

The feeling in London against France
is intense. tits un iyersally believed that
troops recently cal led home from Eng
lish colonies have been concentrated IN
anticipation of the present war. Great
Britain has now at no me depots, 80 900
troops, and can muster. about 10000.
The Germans of New York b cid q
meeting on the evenin g of the 18th, at
which the most intense Prussian sym
pathy was expressed Speeches; were
made proposing prizes to the bravest
Prussian regiment. The committe stat
ed that the workingmen would offer
$4,000 and a flag to the first reg iment
that distinguished itself in an engage
ment. A committee was appointed to
see the President and Secretary of State
in relation to the protection of German
shipping. A Eimilar meeting has also
been held in Chicago. The rumor that
Russia has declared in favor of Prussia,
creates much joy among the Germans.
There are rumors through Cuban
agents here to the effect that Louis Ma
poIeon intends Selling Cuba in case
Spain shows any sympathy with Prus-
STA. In that case the United States will
be compelled to interfere, and President
Grant is reported as saying, yesterday,
that in such an event he would feel
called upon to enforce the Monroe
doctrine.
The Prussian Minister in Washington
has been instructed by his government
TO say to our government that private
property on the high seas will be re-
spected by his Majesty's ships. The
/ French Minister has also notified our
government of the same intentions on
the part of the French authorities.
Gen. Moltke stated in the Prussian
cabinet council that Prussia was never
better prepared for war than at the
present time.
The cable reports state that great en-
thusiasm prevails in France, and very
large donations are being made to vari-
Gus charitable funds in aid of the war,
the Duke De Montemart having given
100000 francs to one of those funds.
Meetings to express sympathy with
Prussia will soon be held in London.
The German mails will be sent by the
Cunarders, the Post-Master-G General

THE HARVEST.

The harvest IS oyer, and to the tillers
of the soil it has been most satisfactory.
All things considered, Kansas has special
reason to be thankful for the bountiful
crops of almost every thing her soil is
adapted TO. Fer three successive years
she has outstripped nearly all her sisters
OF the West in crop raising. Last year
her peach crop was almost completely
cut of by late frost. This was
the case this year, to some extent,
but take tia State at large and
there will be pieAty of all kinds of
fruit. The oat crop will be shorter than
usual, but there will be enough for the
home demand. The late rains have
secured the corn beyond the danger of
future dry spells. This crop promises
to be abundant sll over the State, and
late eastern tourists inform us that the
corn in none of the more eastern States
looks so well as in Kansas. The wheat

TRouBLE.-We fear our friend g. w.
Brix is getting into hot water. In an
other place we publish couple of COM
munications from parties of the upper
Neosho," in reply to his "Gasp for
Breath" published last week. We have
another communication of the same ma
ture which we decline to publish because
the language is too abusive. 1t seems
our correspondents have fallen into an
error in relation to the matter. They
seem to think the article headed "Gasp
for Breath" had something to do, in
some way, with the attempt to settle
on the Kaw Reserve-that II was politi-
cal in its nature, etc. This is mistake.
AS we understand the article, it was
only intended as a good humored hit at
the practice of big, greasy, lousy, Kaw
Indians visiting this region every year
on begging expeditions, with recon-
mendation papers signed by the parties
named, and others. We have had no
less than half dozen of these papers
stuck at us this summer, and in the
country these Indians have been per-
feet nuisance. We are glad to know
that these papers are forgeries, SO far as
tho signatures attached to them are con-
cerned. We will inform our cores
pondents that Brix is not citizen OF
Emporia. He lives several miles in the
country, and IL we mistake not is
member of the Friends church. He
has never dabbled any in politics that
we know of, and we are of opinion he
never took claim on the Kaw Reserve
We say this much in explanation of the
situation.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the clcss Of the discussion Of the subject
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1870-07-22

But the voice of the wise old man was
not needed. Troops are fastening to
the banks of the Rhine, where the
bloodiest battles are likely to take place.
Prussia is also filling her frontier towns
with troops; soldiers are clamoring for
war; Berlin is sending forth car loads
hourly, and they are offering themselves
in greater numbers than she can find
means for carrying them away. The
report has already reached us that there
has been an engagement, with loss of
5000 men; but ali sorts of rumors are
afioat, and this one may not be reliable.
It is perhaps useless at this stage of
affairs TO speculate as to the probable
results of this struggle. Much depends
upon the extent to which other Euro
pean powers shall be drawn into the
contest. The latest news is that Russia
will support Prussia, while Italy has
offered her friendly aid to France; that
England will remain neutral, at least
for the present; and that Austria will
also, although great effort is being made
by each of the contestants to form an
alliance with her. If the two powers
are left to fight it out unaided, the
chances are probably in Prussia's favor.
AS to numbers and resources they are
about equal. Prussia will be able TO
preserve greater unity among her coun-
trymen, and she has whatever advan-
| tage may be derived from having the
sympathy of the world. If alliances
are formed, it is hard to say what result
would follow; except that it would be
a very bloody one; but it is altogether
likely that Prussia will at least receive
as strong aid from foreign sources as
France. OF course Americans are
strongly in sympathy with Prussia they
would glory in the downfall OF Napo-
leon and his dynasty. The success OF
Germany would be far more favorable
to the cause OF republicanism In the old
country than the triumph of France.
The effect which the strife will have
upon us will be on the one hand to de-
preciate our bonds, and on the other to
enhance the price of our products
The chances are that the price of oul
bread stnffs will increase far more than
the value of our bonds will decline
The latter will depreciate in proportion
as better opportunities for investment
are offered by the contesting parties
While the price of wheat will be gov.
erned by the urgency of their need.
