The French evidently DO not intend to
remain long second-rate military
power. The system of army re-organ-
ization adopted by the government, if
fairly carried out, will give France with
in three years an affective force of more
than a million men, and the improved
plan of Reorganization and discipline make
this one of the finest armies in Eurode.
But to establish such an army will be a
very costly undertaking, and with mon
ey already scarce, and S700,O0O,O00 yet
due to Germany, the taxation which all
this preparation for new wars before the
old one is paid for must entail, may
produce an uprising of the people
which will serve to unseat the anoma-
lous government undertaking it all.
There seems to be no very great rever.
ence on the part of the people for the
Theirs administration, and some one Of
the factions opposing it may yet over
throw it before all these flne schemes
| can be carried out.

ALL HAIL, NEW YORK.

The old Empire State has redeemed
herself from the thralldom of the worst
set of thieves and robbers that ever
cursed people. Honest Republicans
and Democrats Joined in the work, and
it is more complete than was anticipa-
ted. Their action adds new strength to
the capabilities of the people to govern
themselves. The truth is, that the op-
erations of Tammany for the past few
years had dimmed the star of self-goy-
eminent. Europe has been pointing to
this as an example of our failure to
govern ourselves. The people of a
great city, with as many inhabitants as
three or four of the smaller States, have
been, for years, ruled by this Tammany
ring as completely as the iron hand OF
monarchy ever ruled a nation. But the
people of New York have shown the
world the power of Republicanism
The failures heretofore to loose the grasp
of the monsters who were choking them
were discouraging. Freedom has suf
fered, and the public confidence ba!
been shaken. Thoughtful people be
gan to wonder whether they would b.
rescued by mob or amonarch. But thu
result of the late election has shown
that the people themselves can cure tn
worst disease of our free form of gov
ernment-corruption. No worse set o
carbunc.es ever succeeded in fastening
themselves on any part OF our countr
than Tweed Sc Co., and we sincerel
hope no other ring will ever succeed a
they have. The people of the Who'll
country will thank New York for he
work on election day, because the Who'll
people were directly interested in he
success. AL hail to the honest voter
: of New York;

Elder Lindsey, of Utah, preached
in Williamsburg on Sunday last. He
said: 1--WE are Gods chosen people.
He is working. A few weeks ago Chi
cago was destroyed. This is but a drop
to what will soon happen. We were
driven from that state. God said they
should not live there"
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher preached
q political sermon on Sunday evening
last, in the course of which he spoke of
intelligent citizens and their indifference
to political matters. He condemned
the corrupt tendencies of the politics
of the times. Every custom house in
the land, said he, is bribing shop. If
places of trust shall continue to be put
up tor sale, as they have been, this gov
eminent cannot exist long.
Nearly a square, compEising about
one half the business portion Of Chat
tanooga, was burned on Sunday. Loss
$4,000; insurance $4,000. The city
was fired in two places, but the flames
were extinguished. Fifteen supposed
Chicago desperadoes arrived at Chatta-
noogs from Memphis on that night, and
suspicion rests on them.
The Apache indians attacked stage

have won is priceless, not only from
what it gives us now, but because it will

that the voice of the people is supreme,

can dominates Mr.. Eskridge for Speak
or in the following style:
''The intelligent voters of Emporia
have elected ex-Lieutenant Governor e.
V. Eskridge to the house of representa-
tives by about two hundred majority.
This is signal triumph, as it has been
achieved over our personal friend L. L.
Heritage, Esq, one of Emporia's best
citizens. From the experience and abil
ity of Gov. Eskridge, his familiarity
with parliamentary rules and his pecu
liar genius as presiding officer, VIZ
most cordially nominate him for Speak
er of the House of Representatives, and
urge the representatives of southern anC
western Kansas to unite upon Gov. Esk
ridge for speaker"

continue to resemble that of man at

others in the crowd around him. 1t is
on some such ground as this that the
Premier insisted recently on the neces-
sity Of passing the War Fund bill, as
snring the Reichtag that the present as
pcct of European affairs is such as to
make this extraordinary provision for
further wars an imperative necessity.

Until recently 0 photograph of Mayor
Hall hung in the Council Room of the
New York University, of which institu-
lion he is graduate. The students, on
learning of his connection with the
frauds of the Ring, resolved that it was
disgrace to allow it to hang there
longer. Accordingly, on the day on
which the Mayor was summoned to APP
pear before the Grand Jury they tore it
from the wall, formed in procession,
and marched through the hall with it,
and then broke it into thousand pieces.

AMERICAN CREDIT IN EUROPE.

may mention that the COURAGEOUS
crusade of the New York Times against
the municipal robbers of New York,
and the determined spirit in which the
honest part of the population have
ranged themselves at your back, resolv-
ed to put down the outrageous brigaH-
dage of the Tammany class, have pro-
duced a marked effect over here both in
political and commercial circles. Com
mercially it is, am convinced, tho best
investment New York ever made.
There is no denying the fact that the
abominable misgovernment of New
York created an unfortunate prejudice
not only against financial projects ema-
mating from that quarter, but against
American securities generally. No
body knew how far the Tammany
thieves might carry their schemes of
plumber, and there was a mutual reluc-
lance to risk money within their reach
reach. If the movement which has
heen so ably and manfully directed by
the Times is steadfastly followed up,
there will be general rise in the value
of American stocks, and your merch-
ants and projectors will find an i'm
mense fund of British capital ready to
be Entrusted to them. In the political
world also the reputation of the nation
for NOR moral courage has now been
vindicated. Nothing has happened
since the war to excite confidence in
the American character in anything
like the same degree. 1 speak from
what have lately heard, not merely in
London bnt in different parts of Eng
land, and I can appeal to travelling
Americans to corroborate what say.
