THB internecine troubles at Paris seem
almost providentally designed to recon
che the French people with their hard
fate, by bunting the spirit of revenge
against Germany, end invoking instead a
spirit of self-refection. The humiliation
of the Prussian march through Paris, the
national agony over Alsaee, and the i'm
poverishing war indemnity seem to be al
ready out of mind. Their effect ON the
national pride has been neutrslized by
later woes inflicted V frsternal hands.
The Prussian troops, whose continued
presence on French soil was bitter badge
of tribute, are now detained as possible
saviors. The Paris AUes1geuT, news
paper started expressly to foster and in
flame the popular hate against the con-
queroF, now concentrates sll its gall on
the National Assembly. Seldom has the
whirligig of time been 80 swift in its reVO-
int ans

The result of the recent local elections
in New Jersey, are thus summed up by
the Elizabeth Herald: ''The town cleo
tons in New Jersey have been completed,
all the cities except Elizabeth and New
ark, which vote in the fall, having voted.
The result in every instance, except
where the gerymandering of the late
Legislature has caused misrepresentation
of the political complexion of such cities
as Jersey City, Paterson, Plsinfeld, etc,
shows large Democratic gains, leaving n 0
room for doubt, that with unity in the
Democratic ranks, we shall carry the
State by large msjorities at the next State
election

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.

The telegraph the other day gave
brief synopsis of q protocol agreed upon
by the joint High Commission for the
adjustment of the Fisheries question.
Whether OF not, the Yankee shippers
shall continue to catch cod and dry them
hard as hickory chips off the banks of
Newfoundland, is in itself a matter of
little concern with US. Once on a time
our ancestors of Virginia and the old
North State rushed generously TO the res
cue of Massachusetts, and the defence of
her commerce, when Boston was embar
COED; and we have received sorry re-
turn for our sacrifices of blood and treas
ure for her sake. So far as New Eng
land interests are alone involved, we could
Jet the settlement proceed without word
of comment, well satisfied that the Yam
KEGS are able TO look out for No. l.
But when it comes to adding some mill
ions to our enormous national debt, which
will be the almost certain upshot of this
scheme of adjusting the value of recipro-
cal benefits, we of the interior, west and
south, begin to have an interest in the
matter. The consent of the Dominion
Parliament, which is made necessary, is
likely to be obtained only on some such
prospect of pecuniary profit. We do not
know what new light Commissioner Fish
NAV have found on this fishy subject;
perhaps he dates the American right
from the treaty of Client, in 1918.
As we read the annals, the right
If our coast-men to pursue tn cir
fisheries in those waters ante dated
the war for independence. 1t was
right of discovery, and of long oCcu-
patton and use, TO the prejudice of no
nrior claim. Il was maintained, as our
archives show, as part of the gain of
independence. l. entered into the treaty of
1888. But if the treaties of 1878 and
1893 were both established, the right to
those fishing grounds, with the essential
concomitant of opportunity to dry the
6sb. would remain as an asserted right, Of
long possession, not to be lightly dis
claimed. or sacrificed without some
Equivalent.
As we view it, the pending protocol
sbandons this high vantage ground of
centuries, in treating the matter as sques-
ton de nOUO. When it comes before the
Senate, we shall look for a new depar-
ture by Charles Sumner, one that will be
even more congenial TO bis constituents
Than the Ku Kluxed negroes of Hayti-
that of Goldfish.

WESTERN RAprcaLIsm.

With the abolition of slavery, the last
difference of interests between the South
and West has disappeared; and hence
forth, in the grand future that opens be-
FIRE us, the people of these two sections
are likely to stand side by side on all ma
tional issues. From the standpoint Of
political economy, the West is likely to
be benefited even more than the South,
by cordial relations. This tendency and
the reasons for it, have already begun to
make themselves felt, so that the unso-
pbisticated patriot may wen be astonished
at the Radical course of Western Con-
gressmen. Yet the explanation is easy:
All the big whisky rings are in
the West. The Indian rings, fleeing
the savages and the Government,
are all in the West. And the
Pacific railroad swindles, with their enor-
nous land grants, and millions of national
credit, belong to the same section. Nearly
every Radical member from the West in
the past three Congresses, is interested
directly or indirectly in the profits of
these huge jobs. This has been the
price paid for their votes in support
of Eastern tariff and bank msnopolies.
This explains why members representing
| farming constituencies are found legs
lating against every interest of the farm
er. In Eastern Radicalism there is a
dash Of fanaticism that is sometimes free
from venality, but we may regard West
ern Radicalism as corruption and only
corruption. Hence the significance of
the Missouri split under such leadership
as Karl Schurz and Gratz Brown. 1t is
purely q protest against public plumber.
From present appearances this Western
wing of corruption is becoming the con-
trolling element in the party. Grant is
on the track again, under almost exclu.
siVely Western auspices, and Congress
has done all it can to place his election in
his own hands. The Administration has
quarreled with every prominent leader IL
Massachusetts, Sumner, Hoar, Wilson,
Boutwell,, Dawes, Motley, and even But
Ter at times. Senator Fenton, of New
York, is unknown at the White House
The purer part of Pennsylvania Radical
ism has been alienated for Simon Came
ron and John Forney. Every where TIT
issue is thus making up, and the dJmi
nsnt corruption of the dominant party
defining itself more clearly.

EVEN some of the Radical newspapers
are beginning to wonder how it is that
the people of the South produced larger
cotton crop last year than they did in the
days of their greatest prosperity, when
they are in a state of rebellion and out
lawry, as represented by Radical parti-
sans. 1t is because the cotton crop is a
reality and the Ku Klux fiction.

TIE total annual tax of New Orleans,
State, municipal and federal, smounts to
thirty three dollars upon every man, wo-
man and child within the city limits, or
one dollar more per head than would be
requisite if imposed upon the country at
large to pay off the entire national debt in
two years. That is what Radical rule in
the South means.
