1896; the renewed coercion of the press, and
the elevation of the army once more to the
first place in the government. 1t would wipe
out the memory of the crimes, frauds,
extravagances, defalcstions, and slaughters
by which the eyes of the French people we're

and the whip, and mount without further

feudalism in it; but it is gradually and rapidly
getting rid of it; in any case, not only has
feudalism rendered good service to man.
kind, but every trace of it is disappearing,
and nowhere more quickly than in North
Germany. There is no State more modern
in the best sense of the word than Prussia;
none in which an intelligent human being
counts for more, or in which brains exercise
so much influence on politics. 1t was very
true, as Ernest Renan said, that SIT was the
universities which conquered at Sadowa. :
We have little doubt they will conquer again
on the Rhine; at all events, we feel bound in
the interest of civilization to hope SO.
If any power is to have more weight in
the family of European nations than an
other, we are all interested in its being the
power whose armies contain most readers and
writers, and which when it goes to war has
to call most intelligent citizens from their
homes. 1t has been a favorite saying of the
~Bonapartes that ''bayonets don't think. "
Bsyonets are, however, beginning to think;
and the more they think the less chance there
will be in the world for the class of adven-
turers of which the Bonapartes are the most
illustrious members. The Prussian army is
fighting for a free press, a free parliament,
popular education; for the supremacy of
reason over brute force, of the citizen over
the soldier, of law over imperial ''de srees, +"
of an armed people over hired armies, of in
dustry over gambling. In other words, they
defend modern civilization against the
worst and latest of its enemies.

of local offices. Their tendency is always
the same. They invest with power men who
substitute impudence for brains, who deem
intrigue of more importance than principle,
and who drive into retirement the majority
of those whose abilities and regulations
qualify them for really efficient service. It
is q game in which the worst men have the
hest chances; they play for stakes that are
degrading, with cards which high-principled
Republicans will not touch. The party in
whose name the game is carried on invariably
pays the penalty. Ohio may be familiar with
its tricks, but no State has experienced more
of its disastrous consequences than New
York. 1t has given us defeat instead of vic
tory, and has converted what should be
sources of strength into causes of almost
hopeless Generalization.
Here and everywhere, duty and interest are
identical in regard to the nominations to be
made this fall. Whether the contest be for
seats in Congress or for positions in States,
personal claims must give way to broader
considerations There is an idea in some
quarters that the Republican party was made
exclusively for those who manage it, and
nominations are arranged accordingly.

Importance. The great essential is that
politics shall pay" We cannot too strongly
urge upon Republicans the necessity of
frustrating these tactics, and of deciding in
some emphatic manner that the Republican
organization shall be FIRE ed from the sinister
dictation which in many localities now dooms
it to disaster. The people, who neither buy
places nor sell principles, have the matter in
their own hands. 1t is for them to say
whether the party they have so faithfully
sustained shall be subject to special inte-
rests, personal or corporate, or whether by
wise and honest management it shall secure
strength enough to prosecute its reforming

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE WAR.

l. IL 4GS30 Va LII Uh1bs
From the N. y. Herald.
The Bank of England begins to take pre-
cautionary measures in consequence of the
war between France and Prussia. It has
raised the rateiof discount, in order to hold on
to its specie, and thus is providing for eventu-
alties as well as to check the drain that might
be made for war purposes on the Continent.
We are informed, too, that the Bank of France
has decided to pay out silver only, which
means, We suppose, that 1T intends to hold on
to the gold reserve. We hear, at the same
time, of failures beginning at the London
Stock Exchange. 1t is estimated that the de-
probation of securities of different kinds in
England, including foreign stocks, between
July 4 and ~, was about five hundred mil
lions of dollars. If we take into account the
decline of the French rentes, Prussian securi-
ties, and all other European stocks, both up
to the 18th of July and since, the fall in
values must be enormous 1t was said that
the house of Rothschild alone had lost
about twenty millions OF dollars. Of course,
there must be q vast number of sufferers who
are not as well able to bear loss as the Roths-
childs, and the consequence will be failures
and a general financial disturbance. Should
the war continue long, and especially if it
should spread beyond France add Prussia,
there will, no doubt, be a fearful crash.
Under these circumstance what will be the
effect upon the securities and financial affairs
of the United States? AS a matter of course
our securities have declined in common with
all the rest abroad. This is the natural con-
sequence of the connection and sympathy
which exist in the monetary world, and is
Independent of the intrinsic value of stocks.
But in the end the credit of those nations that
are not involved in or directly affected by war
must rise. Though there may be less money
to invest than in time Of peace, the securities.

PERSONAL INTERESTS AND GREAT
r. PARTIES.
From the n. p. Times.

wv
In reference to the campaign in Ohio, the
Cincinnati Gazette gives prominence to a
rumor that the Republican party in that State
is to be organized this year with special re-
gard to the next election of a United States
Senator-''the State Central Committee is to
be constructed, as far as possible, in the in
terest of some one aspirant to that high posi-
ton This is not the first time the Repub-
Ecan party of Ohio has been made subordi-
nate to individual ambition. Nominations
for the Legislature which elected Sherman
over Schenck were controlled by preferences
for one or the other of these gentlemen; and
the result was a demoralized Legislature,
whose general incompetency disguised and,
for q time, defeated the Republicans. The
Gazette protests against a repetition of the
experiment as unwise aud dangerous, because
calculated to weaken and distract at a time
when concentration and a complete union of
forces are needed"
The mischief complained of is not confined
to Ohio. There are few States in which its
effects have not been more than once dis
cernible, and still fewer that should not pom
der the warning addressed to Ohio Republi-
cans. A Senatorship may not always be the
disturbing influence, though when it does
operate there are not many more powerful.
But the evil always assumes the same gene
raj character. The party as an organization
suffers from factions formed within it; for
these faction are actuated by purposes at
variance with it's usefulness and welfare.
Sometimes the factions represent rival
