disposed to act the part of the prophet of
evil tidings. We admit that the spirit of
conquest which drove France into this war,
which has made Germany somewhat cruelty
exacting, which has made Italy regardless of
the most sacred rights is not highly encou-
raging. At the same time we cannot deny
that, amid all the wild confusion and appa-
rent anarchy, right has been prevailing and
important steps have been made in the
worlds progress. War has been found
to be dreadfully expensive and
dreadfully destructive, as we'll as painfully
uncertain in its results. Public opinion
worldwide public opinion-has revealed a
power which it was never supposed it could
possess. The interests of humanity have been
found to be so much identified in all nations
and among all peoples that hope rather than
despair finds encouragement. The era is new,
full of doubt, full of danger, but not by any
means absolutely discouragiug. Let us hope
that, as one result of this war, the peoples
will learn that their interests are identical.
If this lesson is properly learned the new era
will be one of peace, not of war. Poor France
may yet recover and find happier times than
she ever found before.

and a condition of affairs ensue like that
under Ottoman rule. "When things come to
the worst" says the proverb, 'they must
mend" In this is our hope, for surely they
are nearing the worst with frightful velocity.
1t is not enough that every man who
owns a foot of land shall find the
trail of Tammany across it, 1t is not
enough that the Ring shall twine around all
public improvements of the State 1t Is not
enough to find the slime of the reptile in our
pleasure grounds and our streets. The poor
lsborer must be directly mulcted OF his hard
earned savings. The women, married and
unmarried, that skim from their scauty earn
ings a trihe ''against rainy day" must
assist in feeding this odious monster. 1t is
the boast of Tammany that it's strength is
among the poorer classes. Yet we can but
pity them, even if it be true that by their
votes they have put the Ring in power, even
as we pity the poor hind, who, picking up a
serpent benumbed by the cold, warmed it to
life in his bosom and was stung by it to the
heart.

A BLOW AT THE SUBSIDY M0NGERS.
Fren1 the NJ Y. Sun.
The Senate astounded the subsidy mongers
on Monday bv its vote of 30 to II against the
proposed grant of million year to the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company. They had
confidently counted on carrying through
their scheme, and could in advance name
their men and their majority in favor of this
gratuity. Their favorite plan of operations
had been to ignore argument, and work be.
hind the back of the public, trusting to great
capital, great connections, great social aud
pecuniary forces, skilfully marshalled, to ac-
complish their ends.
The result is encouraging, because it shows
the force of ideas over Establishments, even
in q scheme which can be so manipulated as
to induce the cooperation of other interests
which want aid in similar enterprising raids
on the Treasury, as well as to secure the
support which comes of appeals to individual
oupidity. 1t is always the confident assump-
tion of q certain class of sanguine operators
that measures can be carried and are on the
point of being carried, just at the precise mo-
ment of time when the abstract considera-
tions governing the particular case are
slowly but surely combining to explode these
expectations into fragments. This resul
was pre-emineHtly shown in the present
case. The silent force of argumentative JUS
tice, which had been ignored throughout in
this instance, came in at the last to pros
trate and crush hopes and anticipations
which ought never to have been enter
tanned.
But there is always an army besieging the
Treasury with view to plunder, especially
whenever it is full to overfowing, as it now
is; and no sooner is one division beaten back
than another, like the successive waves of
the tide, comes to replace it. The Treasury
plunderers are constant and eternal force,
requiring an eternal hostility and a vigilance
that never sleeps.
The sound and statesmanlike way of light
ening the labors of those who defend the
Treasury is to create conditions that unnerve
and weaken the attacking foes. The simplest
and readiest method of doing this, is to have
no money in the Treasury to tempt cupidily
and avarice. There would be no robbers if
there was nothing to rob. Let the revenues
of the country be reduced to the lowest point
consistent with the ability to pay current and
inexorable liabilities, so that every new claim
for money shall involve new taxes, and the
claimants will be fewer and less clamorous in
their demands. This policy serves all occa-
sions. 1t will do for the subsidy mongers
among the rest; and as general safeguard
against their operations, it is better than the
arguments and the logic by which they have
been so unceremoniously foored on the pre-
sent occasion.
