OFFICIAL CITY g. COUNTY PAPER
GERMAN MEETING LAST NIGHT
Toreh-light Procession, Speeches,
BoRfires and Cannon.

Quite large number of our German cisi-
zens determined on celebrating the RUSSIAN
victory, last night and did so BY forming .
torch.hght procession, some thirty in num-
Der, at Turner Hall, and marched to the
levee in front of Woltmsn's saloon, where
others were firing the cannon, and the boys
had kindled bonfire. Biehrs band headed
the procession, and after forming in a circle
on the levee, and after some excellent
music, table was brought out and DR.. P
Gregg called upon for speech. The SUBJ
stance of his remarks were sympathy for
Prussia oondsmning his fellow Irish
countrvmen for their sympathy with France;
the hope for freedom and liberty to all the
nations of the world, excepting France
general rejoicing for Prussian success, and
cheering words for Germany. He was
greeted with cheers and music.
The editor of this paper was then called
out He rejoiced to see them remembering

power and the extension of despotio terrific
ry, claimed that it was the duty of this
government to main tain strict neutrality so
far as possible, consistent with its duty as
as one of the nations of the world.
After the cheers and music that followed,
the previous speaker asked those near to
call him out again to reply, which WAS done
He then entered into a discussion which
amounted to just nothing at all. and which
was out of place, uncalled for, and ssvoring
OF demagoRism to such Al extent Is to be
dissasteful to nearly all present and even
STOPPING to give expression to partisan
feeling that should have been avoided at
such time and place. We were called
upon to answer, which We did, that no false
Impression of our position might be inferred
from the remarks then made.
We can but look upon the attemp. to drag
up discussion of such . nature and under
such circumstances, as an insult to

coming with very poor grace from one who,
at the beginning of our war, WAS first upon
on side aud then turned with the popular
tide, and in this instance only sought the
discussion for popularity and partisan pur-
poses.
The next speaker following this disgrace.
ful discussion was Mr.. P. G. Koch, who
spoke for some time, and made some very
telling points, and in a measure restored the
crowd to q good feeling. He WAS received
with we'll merised applause, after which the
procession reformed and marched back to
the hall, stopping on the way to listen to a
short speech from L. Nj. Haverssck l. Co.,

REVOLUTION IN MExICo-Ns Oriqtn-Efectively
the situation of Mexico is every day, and even
those who seemed to have more confidence on the fu
ture, bow down their heads under the weight of bit
ter disappointment. There is not means found to
conlure the storm which threatens to sink our unfor-
tunate country in the horrors of civil war The
revolution, in great proportions has broken out in the
States of Pueba, San Luis Potosi Guanaiuao, Quere-
taro, Morales, and Michoacan and in vain the Govern
ment attempts to overcome it with its troops The
evils is not in the armed revolution but in the public
opinion which finds no other means of salvation. in
the painful circumstances through which has passed
for two years. In view of such situation we ask
which is the cause of its origin? The answer does
not wait long This situation is precisely an newt
able consequence Of the mprudent conduct of Lerdos
Cabinet, that cabinet which depreciang the public
opinion has governed the country to its caprice since
the government last seated in the capital of the
republic The independent press, the masses of the
people have demanded increasingly of the men of
power to abandon the caprcious conduct filled with
maleVolence which they following, and to place
themselves at the heg ht of their mission but such
Just petition deserved nGugh but contempt from those
who were obliged to satisfy them. From there the
