"RENpRR UNTO CEsAR. The members On
the German Parliament in Berlin are engaged
in discussing the provisions Of the new national
coinage bill. A legislative proposition was
made yesterday to render the money Of Inn
perial uniformity in its impress, by stamping
each coin with the head Of Emperor William,
instead Of the profile of the difitSent princes Of
the different countries which go to make up
the nation. The resolve was negatived by .
large majority. The Germans are very pa
trlotic, but they do not-all Of them, at least

Of the war of 1912 requires that such vet
Grams on receiving their pensions shall be re-
CURED to Support the Constitution of the
United States and the'widows Of such officers

hard on the veterans, Q pension Of eight
dollars month being entirely inadequate to

CONDITION OF THE CHICAGO BANKS. -We
learn from Washington that the examiner
designated by the Comptroller Of the Currency
10 investigate the condition of the Chicago
national banks since the disastrous fire reports
that the losses will be much less than autici-
pated, and that under the Giro umstances their
affairs are in good state. This is good news
and shows at one and the same time that much
was saved from the calamity, and that the
banks, like the remarkable city and people Of
Chicago, have surprising recuperative
power.

The upsetting OF Tammany seems for dms
to have diverted the attention Of the leading
directors In the viaduct Railroad from that
important public work, and it has conse-
quentiy languished. At recent meeting OF
the directors, however, il was determined that
all the members resign and that the whole
concern take new departure. Relieved OF
the deadweight with which the corpses Of
Tammany encountered it, we look to sec the
work 60 on under an early reorganization OF
the Board Of Directors with more rapidity than
ever, and, as 1t certainly will, with the more
assured confidence Of the people. There
need be no cause for delay or vacilla-
ton in the changed complexion Of the Legs-
lature. This measure for rapid transit is one
approved Of by all the reform elements in
this city, and one urgently demanded BY the
mass Of the people. II is the plan finally
chosen out Of multiplicity Of plans and pro-
jects, and cannot probably be improved on.
1t only remains for the new organization,
numbering, as it will, most Of the wealthy
capitalists who were identified with 1t before,
to bend with renewed energy to the work now,
and in year or two we ought to have that
much-desired, long-hoped-for and pressingly-
needed rapid transit up and down town.
There Is no use Of stretching the time for its
completion to Ave or ten years. 1t ought to be
completed In two at the farthest. The Pacific
Railroad, with its long stretch Of miles, was
completed In less than five years. There is
no chance for big jobs In the Viaduct. No
Court House millions can be evolved out Of Its
capital for the building up Of private fortunes.
There are too many reformers in its directory
and too many reformers outside Of its direc-
tory waiting and watching for its early and
honest completion. It must be built honestly,
and even the most rascally Ring jobbers 10
existence under that condition would accede
to its being built rapidly. Let us, therefore,
under the new dispensation, have the viaduct
built rapidly, securely and honestly.

THE HARBoR OF HAVANA was made the
scene yesterday Of series Of international
aquatic contests, in which Spaniards
Englishmen and Americans took part. The
contestants were men-of-wars men and mer-
chant sailors. They tugged at the oar and
trimmed the sail during the strife. The
spaniards performed splendidly. Fraternity,
liberty and good feeling should ever prevail in
the waters of the Antilles

THE OHIO STATE DEBT.-The great State
Of Ohio, the third in the republic in popula-
ton, is in happy financial condition. The
debt is little less than nine millions Of
dollars-a small one for Ohio-which places
that State in a very favorable light compared
with other large States. Though the debt Is
small comparatively it was decreased last
year seven hundred and thirty five thousand
dollars. Here is an example for the city and
State of New York and the local governments
of other States which have large debts and
are augmenting them greatly and continuously.

The Lancaster (Ohio) Eagle (democratic),
referring to Tom Scott as candidate for the
Presidency, remarks that the mention Of his
name in that connection is but another illus
tration of the rapacity and grasping ambition
of the gigantic corporations and monopolies
that aspire to govern the country and ruth
lessly confscate the liberties Of the people.
"Better an age like that Of Grants admins
tration," continues the indignant Buckeye
Sheet s'than fortnight of such bundle Of
tyranny, ignorance and presumption
as Tom SCOTS administration would
present" The Cleveland Pl0inde0ier (demo-
cra.ic) declares that 'if the contest is to be
between railroad officials, without reference
to politics, let the republicans put up q
Western railroad monarch, and may the devil
take the hindmost." Tho Akron (Ohio) Times
(democratic) "prefers defeat with any noble,
patriotic democratic statesman, to victory
with any man who has not stood true to the
doctrines of the party" From the above it
will be seen that the nomination Of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer does not receive very
hearty response from its democratic brethren
Of the press in it's own State. Has the
Enquirer (Pendleton's old Standby blum

TO interpret their meaning. Would it not be
well for the government to have standing

pie TO become as familiar with these storm

party opposed to the war. And as the
old federal party came nearer and nearer
to the old republicsu party till it was dis
solved, so il appears Il has gone and Is
going with the present democratic party,
until nothing Is LETT Of 1t but its name. It is
just now in this dilemma. It must take some
new shape for 1872, or otherwise in that cam
paign 1t will be killed outright cut to pieces
and scattered to the winds-as was the cd
whig party in l852-and new party, strong
and vigorous, like this republican party, from
the jump, will take tho place Of this old worn
out and defunct democratic party. When .
political party has gone through the rough ex-
perience of the old federal party, the old whig
party and the present democratic party, 1t is
politically dead; and in due time, with or
without the consent of its leaders, q new
party, founded on new men, new ideas and
new issues, will surely take its place.

GRANT AND HIS RENoMNAroN.-ThsB os-
ton Adoertiser (republican), referring to the
next Presidency, makes no question that
there is opposition to President Grants re-
nomination, earnest and determined, but not
formidable. 'Tt is nothing" 1t says, ''but
opposition. 1t has no Affirmative side. It
represents no separate policy, no common
purpose, no recognized candidate or hope Of
one. 1t is no rash prophecy to predict that
the National Convention In June will nominate
General Grant again with very little opposi-
tion." The Aduertiser takes 1t for granted
that the Republican National Convention will
be held in Boston, aud that Senator Schurz
and the Tennessee reconstructionists will
attend. As old Father Richie would say,

Pope has consented to consecrate the Church
of St Suaire. Hitherto he has refused to con-

reconciliation Let us hope so. There is

King.

THE CoLoRED PEOPLE OF NORFOLK, Va,
yesterday proposed to hold ma IS meeting to
denounce the murder of one Wilson, police
officer, of Portsmouth, who was killed week
ago, while in the line Of duty, by some
roughs; but the Mayor Of Norfolk, urged by
many white citizens who saw in this peace
able assembling the germ of riot and blood
shed, issued proclamation admonishing
good citizens not to assemble. The colored
people accordingly refrained. Has the Old
Dominion lost all her nervep Have the war
and reconstruction SO shattered her constitu-
ton that there is no stamina left in herp It
would seem so when, to maintain the peace,
she has to refuse her citizens the time honored
constitutional right Of peaceable assemblage,
instead of maintaining it at all hazards by the
righteous use of mitiamen and the bayonct.

THE FIRsT OF THE WRsTFIRLD SUITS, for
damage growing out Of the explosion on the
Staten Island ferry boat last July, was tried
yesterday in Brooklyn, and although the ferry
company entered only the frivolous plea that
the plaintiff could not recover because he vio-
lated the law by travelling on Sunday, and
although all the evidence plainly showed that
the victim met his death by the negligence Of
the defendants, and although Judge Nelson
charged that the defendants were liable if they
used defective boilers or employed incompe-
tent men, and charged, furthermore, that the
Sunday plea could not hold good, the jury
disagreed and had to he discharged. Three
Of the jurors were for the defendants; but

they could have reached such conclusion
and held to it so stubbornly is one of the in

THE SECRETARY OF WAR insists that he
will not require tho troops stationed about
New York Bay to mako ''sick returns" to the
New York Board of Health, holding that such
a proceeding would be Unprecedented and
miscellaneous, subordnatiny the federal author
ity 10 the STATE. Tie m ,tteS is msinterpreted
by the Secretary in his jealous desire to sus-
tain the prestige Of this particular branch of
the government. The troops are certainly
liable to catch the cholera, their posts in the
lower bay being greatly exposed to the fatal
breezes which disseminate the insidious poison
of that disease. 1t is necessary that the Board
of Health here should have information of the
spread of that disease or of any other con-
tagious disease from Quarantine northward;
and while there is full accord and cooperation
between the Board and the commandants of
these military posts, such information can be
very readily furnished without detracting from
the prestige or the dignity Of the army. But
here the Secretary Of War steps in with his
s'little horde Of theories" sacrificing our
safety to mere techncality with as little con-
sideration as If our port were blockaded and
we were all democratic Ku Klux.

CHURCH AND STATE IN GRRMANY-A NEW
PHASE OF TIE QUESTION: Bavarian
representative in the Federal Council Of the
German empire has introduced Bill to permit
and TO provide for the legal prosecution of
clcrgymen engaged in unpatriotic intrigues.
It is not unimportant sign Of the times that
this motion should come from the representa-
tive Of Catholic Bavaria. 1t is blow at
Rome, and particularly at infallibility. II is q
law in Bavaria that no decree of Rome shall
be published without the consent Of the gov
eminent. In Bavaria this law has been
violated by several Of the bishops. Bavaria
and Prussia have both stood by the excom-
municated clergy and refused to dispossess
them Of their livings. This new bill aims at
dispossessing the infallibilists, one and all. 1t
is . new and interesting phase of great
question. We shall anxlously watch its
further development.

Conservatism in Politics.

The Lynohburg Nrginian Conservative
is in favor Of q union of democrats, conser-
vatives and moderate republicans upon q
moderate, respectable republican" as the
democratic candidate for the Presidency.
Opposition to radicalism, it says, ''should
be the platform of Virginia conservatives. !"
CONSERVATISM" is all a humhug in these days
of party strife. ''He who is not for US is
against u.s." should be the motto in political
as well as religious life. It may be well
enough for party distinctions to call one
party republican" and another party
''democratic;' but they are all republican
nevertheless. Conservatism is g0-between
hybrid. Of no particular service to any party.
When party lines are broadly drawn men
must attach themselves either to one side or
the other, or drop into insignifcance. Hence
It is the height of folly for our Lynchburg
contemporary to appeal to the ''couserva-
tives OF Virginia" to do this. that or the
other. When the Presidential campaign
commences men will be either democrats
or republicans, and he who avows himself any
thing else win find himself nowhere.

dred thousand anti rant republicans that
would lead of on such q man the democrats
would have the assurance Of success from the
outset. We apprehend. however, that the
honeymoon OF such q marriage would never
come off; for we remember the boilers from
Jackson in bis second election, and those
against Lincoln as a candidate for a second
term, and how signally toey failed because
in each OF these cases the man In the White
House had the masses Of his party at his
back, as General Grant has to-day. But we
shall know something more than now is known
of this proposed democratic movement with
the ripening Of events. There is something
in It; for we understand that such men as
Horatio Seymour and Mr.. Tilden are very
much pleased with this plan.
The plan Of ''rom Scott is simply an alb.
surdity. 1t falls far behind our grand idea Of
''Live Oak George" A more unpopular can
didate for President than railway king
could not be chosen by any party outside the
Tammany sRng" And SO. with all respect
to Mr.. Scott as an enterprising railway king,
we dismiss him as absolutely out of the ques-
ton for Presidential purposes.
The plan Of the Stats Zettung is the
HERALD plan. We have recommended it here
tofore in general review OF the political field
as the best course for the bewldered demo-
cratic party. The war for the Union has lief,
this party in the position of the old federal
party after the war Of l8l2-that To-
