THE QUESTION SETTLED IN OHIo.--Gene-
raj McCook, disabled by sickness from active
participation in the present Ohio State canvass,
II was supposed would withdraw or be with
drawn as the democratic candidate for Cover
DER, and that General Ewing would take his
place. 1t appears, however, that this PROPOSE
ton to ''swap horses" was under consideration
the other day by the Democratic State Com
mittee, when the question was settled by q
note from General Ewing, in which be posi-
lively and emphatically declined to take the
place of McCook. From the present ndica-
tions In Ohio, McCook or Ewing, the result
would be substantially the same-a democratic
defeat; for Ewing would come too late to rec
ufy the damages resulting from the blunders
of McCook on the ''new departure" Ewing,
therefore, may be excused in leaving the bat
ue 10 McCook.

The Evacuation Of the Paris Forts.

A cable despatch which we print this morn.
ing informs us that the German troops of the
four departments contiguous to Paris will have
evacuated their positions by the 18th of the
present month. Considering how Paris was.
humbed-how France was humbled, how
much Paris, how much France has paid down.,
we feel rejoced at the announcement. In q
great struggle, In which France differently
managed might have won, France was beaten.
Germany won glorious victory, but Germany
was in the hour of her triumph hard on
France. France has bowed the knee, and bowed
the knee most nobly. In making peace proud
France submitted to German occupation.
France has submitted, has bowed the knee,
and done so so we'll and so gracefully that,
now we know that the Germans are about to-
eyacuate the forts around Paris, we must
praise the French people and bid them be OF
good hope. Pluck does not die, 1t lives even
in misfortune, and in spite of adverse circum-
stances RECEIVERS itself. In o military sense
France is now low, very low; but proud
people who, with grand national history,
can behave so we'll, must yet spring to the SUR,
face and reveal their power.

transition state, and every hour reveals nov
complications and every day threatens now
war. One year ago the Emperor Of Germany
agreed to set aside the Treaty Of Paris; now
ne disregards the Treaty Of Versailles, by
which he solemuly agreed to violate solemn
compact. If treaty with Austria were agreed
upon at Salzburg next year 1t may also be
annulled. And 80 the conferences Of En-
perors come to be no better or nobler than the
chickering's Of two petty tradesmen, each trying
to outwit and cheat the other; but Emperor
William makes whatever bargains he pleases
with Emperor Alexander or Emperor Francis
Joseph, and he keeps his contracts while it
pleases His Majesty.

Our Imports and Exports.

1t appears from comparative table publish-
ed In the HERALD yesterday that our imports
have increased greatly this summer. The
greatest amount ever received from customs
in one month was during August. 1t was over
seventeen millions of dollars. This is gratify-
ing as showing an active and increasing trade.
Still we must learn if our exports, apart from
bonds or other securities, correspond with the
imports in order to know whether the trade Ia
the greatest benefit of this trade? Do Ameri-
can merchants and the American people, or
foreigners We fear we are too extravagant
and are getting deeper in debt all the time.
The products of the soil and the manufactures
we export, together with every ounce of the
precious metals we extract yearly, do not pay
for the importations and the shipping profits
to foreigners. The balance is made up by
securities, national, State, or other kinds,
which bring us more and more In debt, and
increase continually the interest that has to be
sent abroad. But the balance Of trade against
US with the vast profits of trade which go into
the pockets of foreigners are to be attributed
in great measure to our crude financial sys-
TEN, revenue laws restrictions on commerce
and other things for which the government is
responsible. With unlimited resources, sur
prising productive industry, q population Of
nearly forty millions and other advantages,
our commerce is only about third of that OF
Great Britain, and even large portion of that
is carried in foreign bottoms. Relatively We
are going far behind all the time. Evidently
there is something radically wrong in the laws
governing the finances and commerce of the
country. Let us hope Congress will probe
this subject and find remedy for the evil.
No other country possesses the advantages
this has, and it only remains to use them in
order to rival England in commercial great
ness.

the injunction complaint, as Mayor Hall has
done, and then retire to private life and the
enjoyment of their comfortable fortunes
Should Messrs. Connolly and Tweed refuse
to resign Mayor Hall should at once exercise
the power of removal. He has made q full
and satisfactory response to the complaint
brought against him as one of the defendants
before Judge Barnard, and has directed public
attention to the fact that he has only COM
menced on the first year of his Office
under the new condition of the city
government. But he can scarcely hope
to carry out the new law with satisfac-
ton to himself and to the citizens with Con-
molly at the head of the city finances and
Tweed in command of the Department of
Public Works. To give the Charter fair
trial the heads Of all the departments ought
to enjoy the same public confidence accorded
to the Mayor and to the Department of Public
Parks The people feel that they can trust
the city government in the hands Of Hall and
Sweeny and Hilton. Can the Mayor believe
that they entertain the same opinion as to
Connolly and Tweed? The public feeling in
this matter is intense and should be respected.
The clamor of the political partlsans who
denounce the whole city government simply
because they desire to secure for themselves
chance at the city treasury is not deserving
of notice. The people, who are earnest in
their demand for justice and reform, will take
care that they are not made the instruments
of undoing the good that has been accom-
plished by the remodelling Of the city govern
ment; but their demand that suspected men
shall not be continued in Office should re-
ceive attention aud respect. Let Mayor Hall
carry out faithfully the present law and prove
its value at the close of the year by decreased
taxation for the years government; let Peter
D. Sweeny aud Judge Hilton continue the
work of beautifying and improving the city;
but let Connolly and Tweed retire on their
ample fortunes, and the hungry politicians and
needy Bohemians will be disappointed in their
hopes of turning just public indignation into
a means of fastening a new set of cormorants
on to the City Treasury.

rAe International and tho worliusmen,
OF Europe,


OF Europe.
From cable dispatch, which we print this
morning, we learn that the London Times has
strongly expressed itself against the importa-
tion Of foreign workmen into England for the
purpose Of putting down the strikers. The
Times bases its opposition on grounds at once
moral and sanitary. Although we do not as q
rule care for the moral and sanitary grounds
of the Times, we cannot refuse to admit that in
this case the Times is right. What the 7Tanes
said we can only guess at. The London Times.
so far as we can lay hold Of the argument, is
down on the great fact that the workingmen
are their own worst friends. The International
Society, which is to revoutionize Europe and
to rejuvenate the world, counts on the support
OF the workingmen. And yet we find that
whenever the w0rkingmen of one district
or of one country make bold stand, the
workingmen Of another district or of another
country are quite willing to be bought at
reasonable price to defeat their fellows. In
the North of England to-day the work.
ingmen have struck for shorter day,
and the employers Of labor in England
have brought in, not the Heathen
Chinee, but Belgians and the Germans and
others to fill the vacant places. When we

port of skilled labor, can bring in the Heathea
Chinee, what does this grand reformer called

widows and their free tables, made mess Of

munism damned itself. The experiments made
since then have not much affected the general
argument. Fourier has passed away, and so
has Robert Owen. What has the one or the
other left behind him? Not much. The Inter-
national must be much weaker than we had been
taught to believe it was when so soon after the
Paris Commune the places of the English
strikers can be 80 easily filed. We are long
way off from universal and absolute culture,
and it is our opinion that the International

This development may be consummated long before the
