France and PrussIa-TEe Conditions O
Peace

The Roman legends relate that when the
Amy of Postumius was surrounded by
tho Samnites in the Candine valley, Pom
thus. the leader OF the Samnites, en-
barrGssed by his victory, sent for his sage
father and asked his advice. The latter
proposed two courses. One was to release
all the army honorably and thus secure the
friendship of the Roman people. The
other, to put them all to death and thus
cripple the Roman power. Pontlus re-
jected both of these alternatives and com-
PEELED the captive army to pass under the
yoke. By this course he drew upon his
nation the hatred of the Roman people
which was stated only by the total subjuga-
ZION Of the Samnites.
True or false, this legend might well
serve as lesson for the German Emperor
and his interruptions Chancellor. The
terms of peace which they offer to France
are simply atrocious, and are disgrace to
that civilization of which Prussia claims
to be the foremost champion. Proclaim
ing at first that the war was against the
empire alone, Prussia should have been
willing to treat upon honorable terms as
soon as the empire fell after Sedan. Now,

pleased to learn that tho Charleston
News, the Edgc6cld advertiser, and
other journals are takinga decided
stand against tho suggestion which
has been made, TO hold q political con-
vention or conference tho present
year. The next year is the timo for
our periodic agitation, and we may
well devote tho present TO our matcri-
al interests. 1t is premature now TO
forecast the political future or deter
mine the clements which shall control
next. years issues. They will all de-
vclop themselves iu good time, and

Of safety. In tho next year we will
have doubtless agitation enough
without anticipating it now. Let us
have peace for ono yoar at least.
