Missouri REPUBLICANS. A large gathering
OF prominent republicans assembled in St.
Louis on the 18th inst. for the purpose Of re-
organizing the republican party upon basis
Of harmonious action for the future. 1t was
decided to call convention, at an early date,
OF the voters of the State who intend to act
for the national republican party in 1872, for
the purpose Of constituting Central State
Committee. The best and easiest way to re-
organize the republican party in Missouri
would be to reorganize Carl Schurz.

THE LOUISVILLE Ledger, by nice calcu-
lation, has discovered that ten democratic
voters added to each election precinct in the
United States would insure the success of the
party In 1872. The Evansville Ind. Journal
regards this as very likely, but wants to
know where are the ten democratic voters 10
come from?

THE MICHIGAN FIREs.-The report that an
extra session Of the Michigan Legislature was
to be held TO take measures to relieve the suf-
ferers by the late terrible fires in the State is
contradicted. 1t is stated that Governor
Baldwin has carefully considered this ques-
ton, and is clearly Of opinion that the State
constitution so stringently ties up and limits
the power of the Legislature that, If 1t were
called together, it could accomplish nothing
substantial in the way Of relief This de-
cisiou is not calculated to encourage outside
subscriptions. Yet State that cannot help
itself in such dire emergency is deserving
of universal sympathy. The constitution OF
Michigan sadly needs amendment.

The lower branch of the State Legislature
has passed the bill providing for an inspeo-
tion of coal supplied to city consumers, which
requires that 224O pounds shall constitute a
ton, and that any attempts to cheat consul
mers with short weight shall be punished by
fine. The inevitable Smith, who instinctively
chooses the wrong side of every question,
made strenuous exertions to kill this bill, for
he would not have been true to himself if he
had not preferred the interests of the inno-
cent and suffering al-dealers to the interests
of the masses of the people; but his best
efforts were, fortunately, unavailing; and if
too many Senators are not ''seen" in time,
there is fair prospect that big price may
occasionally buy a full ton of coal hereafter
in this metropolis of the great coal State. 1t
is quite bad enough that, through the strikes
of miners, the combinations of operators, and
the charges for freight, the nominal price of
a ton of coal is twice as much as it ought to
be; and after all these charges are betrayed,
the purchaser should at least have the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that he actually obtains
what he has doubly paid for.

This whole story, however, has a doubtful
look, although IL is perhaps as deserving of
credence as any Of the reports which are
going the rounds of the European press
Meanwhile, the chances of the Bourbon
and Orleanist rivals are dependent, altogether,
upon the struggle between the Assembly and
the Commune under the walls of Paris. If
M. Theirs does not speedily abandon his
policy of forbearance and overcome his pro-
fessed aversion to blood-letting, distracted
France will force some one of his relu slant
rivals into the foreground, to conduct the
struggle against the Red Republicans on a
platform that avowedly brushes out the last
hope of true republic.

AMERICAN AND BRITISH TAXA-
TTON

THEinterchange of cable kilograms between the
British Chancellor of the Exchequer and the
American Commissioners of Internal Revenue,
on the light and pleasant topic of show the
tax on friction matches works" is signif-
cant episode in the intercourse between the
Governments served by these officials. 1t is
indicative of a much more friendly feeling
than that which prevailed few years ago,
when, if kilograms had been inter-
changed at all, they would have
consisted in angry remonstrances on our
part against the construction of Alabamas to
prey upon our commerce; and of threats, on
the part of the British Cabinet, that if we
dill not deliver up Mason and Slidell and
Eubmit quietly to any wrongs Great Britain
wi she'd to rerpetrate, she would aid and abet
th, Confederacy by her navy, instead of the
vessels Of war built by her pri-
vate ship-builders. But, aside
from the indications of the
establishment of an era of good feeling, the
nature of the subject discussed is noticeable.
1t is the ever-fruitful theme of taxation; and
it is refreshing to note that, Notwithstanding
he extended experience of Great Britain in
extorting money in every conceivable way
from her people, she should seek further in
struction in that delightful art from Young
America. In return, we hope that as soon as
Congress is again convened, Pleasonton
will ask Lowe, by ocean cable,
how the income tax has worked
in Great Britain; and that he will in reply
give faithful version of the experience of
her statesmen, which cannot fail to be to the
effect that in practice it is the most odious,
unjust, and unequal tax ever invented by
English ingenuity. Since a precedent has
been established for correspondence on such
subjects, it might also be we'll for the Ameri-
can Secretary of the Treasury to ask, when
the tariff comes up for consideration, ''For
how many years did you protect British
manufactures, and how long did you impose
prohibitory duties before you became con-
verts to free-tradep"

The RED REBELLION bids fair to accom-
plish at least one desirable result-the re-
cancellation of the Alsatians to German rule
Whether or not the annexation of Alsaoe
and portion of Lorraine was justifable or
necessary to the future security of Germany,
it has become an accomplished fact, which
stands but slight chance of reversal. 1t is,
therefore, exceedingly desirable that the in
habitants of the transferred provinces should
become fully reconciled to the change, not
less on account of Germany than for their
own sake. M. Emile Aubertin, an Alsatian,
writing to the London Times, says: :-"Paris,
horrid Paris, has done as much to make us
all cleave to our new allegiance as France
did to establish German unity by going to war
to prevent it." This is a rational view to take
of the matter, and one which is quite likely
to secure general prevalence. So long as
Paris remains the head and heart of France,
so long will every foot of French soil be sub
ject to the vagsries of the Paris mob.
Nothing but strong military despotism like
that which collapsed at Sedan will, appa-
rently, suffice to keep this murderous mob
in subjection; and the sober-minded Alsa-
tians, who have had their fill of warfare,
have good cause to be thankful that they are,
temporarily at least, removed from the
sphere of French despotism and Partisan
anarchy.
