Austria and Prussla-Hapd. or

We print large amount Of telegr aphic
matter, most Of 1t special, relative to German
consolidation and to Austrian and Prussian
sentiment. AT Versailles, the headquarters
OF King William, while the war Is watched
and conducted the consolidation of Germany
is being successfully arranged. Baden, Hesse
and Wurtemberg have no difficulties, and the
scruples Of Bavaria, which are VIGOROUSLY
encouraged by Austria, are reported to be
not serious. The confederation Of Germany,
North and South, with King William as Empe-
ror, may be regarded as settled question.
Austria naturally opposes, because Austria
knows that her German provinces will not
remain out of the Union. In our telegraphic
columns to-day it will be found that in the
Germany OF the future, in the empire that is
to be, Austria will have no voice. This is a
wise and proper arrangement. The rumer
that Austria has declared war against Prussia
is good enough Wall street dodge, but it
viii not affect the issue of this war or hinder
the consolidation of the greatest nationality
on the European Continent, perhaps, in the
world. In this connection it deserves to be
noted that Prussia will not at this stage Of
the struggle allow Of any interference. Until
Napoleon went into this war Won Beust, who
is both good and great man, had mission ;
but his mission is no more. Say what Austria
or Russia may, the Germans III Europe mean to
be one; and Austria and Russia will have to sub
nit to the inevitable. Henceforward France
will find it necessary to keep the peace, and
the descendants of Rudolph of Hapsburg and
of the Car Peter must turn their eyes to the
rising SIM

The FRENCH BAZAAR.-The French Bazaar
will be opened next Tuesday evening. On
each following day the public will be admitted
from one o'clock until ten o'clock p. M. Tie
German bazaar, which was held in the same
place, yielded $72 ,498. 1t will not be the fault
of the ladies, who are specially interested in
managing the French bazaar, lift does not attain
similar success. America will virtually re-
tract all her professions of gratitude for the
early sympathy and aid Of France if she
shall now fail TO improve so pressing an oppor-
tunity to make them good by most liberal
endorsement. The example of San Francisco
and New York in holding fairs for the benefit OF
the French victims of the war is likely to be
followed by many other cities throughout the
Union. Newark and Philadelphia are each
making preparations for French bazaar.
Several theatrical entertainments and musical
concerts have also been announced, the pro-
ceeds Of which are TO bo devoted-like those
Of Professor e. Millet's concert at Trenor's
Lyric Hall, this evenins-to the same laudabe
purpose. All such contributions will help to
swell the fund for the French victims of the
war 10 very creditable proportions.

The City Covernmcnt--What the People
Expect.

The City Covernmcnt--What the People
Expect.
The people Of this city by their vote on
Tuesday gave a pledge Of their renewed conf
dence in the Tammany leaders. What do they
expect in return? They expect that the
heads of the departments of the city govern
ment will be more active and assiduous than
ever in the performance Of their duties. They
expect that the public works, including all the
street openings, gradings, the extension Of the
boulevards, and so forth, will be pushed
forward with a view to economy, as well as
to progress; that the Department of Public
Parks will not relax it's present activity in
identifying the city from the Battery to Har-
lem river. The people have endorsed the
conduct of the gentlemen at the head Of these
departments. They have confidence in their
integrity, their skill and their willingness to
serve the interests Of the city. Having re-
posed fresh confidence in these officials, by
the endorsement of the Tammany ticket, the
people are not likely TO be disappointed in their
expectation that the city government will be
carried on in an honest and economical man
ner. Some of our best citizens are members
Of the public departments. In their hands the
interests Of the city may be considered safe,
and so the people evidently thought when
they gave that overwhelming majority for
Tammany on Tuesday.

A Special Telegram from Lille.

By special telegram from France to Lon
don, and thence by the cable to New York,
we have very important and interesting news
exhibit Of the situation for war as it presented
in Lille yesterday. Lille, formerly the
seat of the Dukes of Burgundy, and the prize
of French conquest in 1867, remains stanch
in It's allegiance to the nation. It's govern
ment and people have prepared for siege
prepared methodically and with economy. Its
citizens were at work every moment for the
production of war material. The citadel, bar
racks, magazines and ramparts were placed in
complete order. Five hundred guns were
ready for its defence. Six lines of railroad
brought in food from the surrounding country.
Lille, therefore, as will be seen by our special
telegram, 'smade ready" for the crisis, avoid
ing the errors of Metz and Strasbourg. The
municipal annals of Lille speak Of former
siege and bombardment. The allied armies
under the Duke of Marlborough and Prince
Eugene took it, after three months siege, in
the year 17O8. 1t was bombarded by the
Austrians in 1902, and will most likely be hon
ored by shot from the Prussians in 1870, il
only for the purpose of enabling the munich
pality to note in the city records the improve
ment which has taken place in the matter Of
artillery development.

The City and It's Suburbs.

| We are surprised to ma city journal
Of some intelligence ascribng to purely local
political causes the fact that so many of our
citizens locate themselves in the surrounding
suburbs-for example, in Brooklyn, in West
chester, on the Jersey side, and so FORTH To
attribute this to any oppression in the way of
taxes resulting from Tammany rule, as this
| journal would have it, is simply very silly and
| exceedingly ridiculous. People live in Brook
| Ign because they can obtain houses there for
one-third Of the rent which they would have
to pay anywhere within travelling distance of
their business on Manhattan Island. They
are buying property there for just the same
reason, because the prices of real estate are
not excessive, while the prospects of an inn
mense advance in the value of property is a
matter OF certainty, in view of the magnificent
Park, now ripe in full beauty; the bridge now
in course of erection, uniting the two cities,
which will be completed in a few years, and
also the great convenience Of the city rail-
roads, which are much ahead Of New York in
comfort good management and pleasure in
travelling. All these advantages send New
Workers to Brooklyn to live and to speculate
in real estate, and not the high rate Of taxa
ton in this city, nor anything which the
Tammany ring has any desire to do, as alleged
by our contemporary.
Every greet city has It's suburbs, and in most
cases the suburbs are the most attractive por-
tons of metropolis. They are the quiet
resting places of the wearied denizens of a
great city, whose daily toll finds relief from
the noise and hustle Of the day. They are
the garden spots which, happily for human
comfort and health, fringe the great dull mass
of brick and mortar which constitutes the
daily prison house OF 80 many thousands of
our population. Without such suburbs as
we enjoy on the East and North rivers
much Of the attraction which New York
presents 10 strangers eelld be lost.
With it's rapidly improving environs New
York must become to America what Paris
was to Europe before the days Of her terrible
sorrow came upon her. AS the wealthy
people Of Europe flocked to the French capt.
tai as the great centre where their wealth
could purchase the most refined enjoyment,
the largest variety of pleasure, the most cos
mopolitan experience of life, so do our men Of
fortune, whether they come from the large
cities Of the West, the East or the South,
come to New York to spend their money.
And so 1t must be. Strangers from distant
parts Of the country cannot be Indifferent to
the charms of our suburban surroundings.
Our own citizens certainly give evidence that
they do not despisc the beauties of Brooklyn,
for instance, because thousands Of them make
it their homes not, however, for political rea-
sons, as foolishly alleged, but for reasons Of
economy and comfort.

The NIilitnry Situation.

Tie French have undoubtedly retaken
Orleans. If any doubt had remained of that
fact it would be dissipatcd by the inevitable
proclamation Of the general commanding, to
be followed Immediately by the proclamation
Of Gambetta. General Paladine has announced
his victory in a congratuatory order, and
there remains no doubt of that much but that
the Prussans are in full retreat on Charities and
Etampes, and that the entire Army of the Loire
is moving forward to the relief Of Paris, are
matters that still require something more than
the general cable dispatches to induce full
belief in their truth. The French have such
q habit OF hallooing before they are out of the
| woods that we must take their outcres with q
| liberal margin for the enthusiastic hopcfulness
that has become an element of their character.
With King William it is different. When he
announces an event we are pretty sure that
it has occurred. He has fully earned
character for veracity that entities us to
take him at his word the first time. We may
therefore conclude that Neuf Breisach, in
Alsace, has surrendered. This is the last re-
naming stronghold Of France in that debat-
able province, except the fourth class fortress
of Bitsche, that has not been taken by the
Russians. They will soon hold undisputed pos
session of at least one Of the Rhenish provinces
| that they claim, and, with the movement on
| Lyons, will overrun the other. The Prussian
troops have already commenced dismantling
the fortress just surrendered into their hands,
evidently intending to take out the fangs while
they have the snake by the neck. The armies
under General Michel at Lyons, and under
General Cambrel in the Vosges, still present a
determined front to the Prussian corps under
| Prince Frederick Charles charged with the re-
duction Of Lyons. Chagny is to be firmly de-
Tended, and heavy force is marching out of
Lyons to meet the enemy outside the walls
and stay his progress.

REMOVAL OF TIE CAPIrAL.-Referring to
the Western project for removing the national
capital, the Davenport Qowa Democrat
says:-
The movement is now really weak-not neces.
aarily. 1t might be q mighty power Most OF the
States west OF the Alleghanies acqulesce in the
Western States where they would have the seat Of
government OF the nation removed to. and the
answers Will DO as various as the States are
numcrour.
If this removal Of the capital project ever
comes to anything it will have to be carried
out on the plan Of the Iowa boys who fought
for shares in an Unexpectedly found treasure
the biggest boy got the lions portion.

Too MUoH FREEDOM Nor COOP FOR
FRANoE.-Napoleon does not believe in the
capacity of the French people to endure free
institutions. He accuses himself for having
weakly consented to the removal of the last
existing check to the right of free assemblage,
and says that the privilege was abused to an
unlimited extent; that public meetings be-
came tumultuous, and that assassination, poi
soning, rebellion and the most abominable
passions were openly preached to the masses
and urged upon them as the best and only
the outcropping of this licentious spirit re-
Gently In Paris, Tours, Lyons, Marseilles and
Perpignan. The ex-Emperor is right. The
French system is too weak for over-indul-
gence.

ONE OF THE DISPATCHES from Tours reports
the French forces to be in a good position at
Chagny-a town on the Lyons Railroad-and
that forces had left Lyons to meet the German
army. But little has been made public Of the
operations in that part Of France. The German
forces advancing on Lyons are under the COM
mand Of General Won Werder. They cannot
have made any considerable Roadway as yet
if they have not reached Chagny, that place
being eighty-seven miles from their objective
point. ~

peace to Prussia. That Russian diplomacy
does not look with fear and dislike upon the
principle Of repubcanism in the abstract, in
countries where ii meets the requirements Of
the people and the time, may be honestly infer
red from its protection Of Swiss independence
in 1916 and its earnest friendship for the
American Union in our recent struggle for
existence.
The policy of Russia to-day is peace. She
is struggling to extend her railroad system, in
which she has 100000 roubles invested,
throughout the empire; to develop her vast
internal resources to amelioratc the con-
dition of her 70, 000, 900 subjects; to civilize
and Christianize the motley tribes acknowledge
ing her sceptre, and to prepare her way
through kindly channels for the grand control
that awaits her in the East.
While we cannot admit that the thinkers and
travellers of America-many Of whom are pub

thoroughly-are always at fault, we can readily
