THE KUELUX DEBATE.

No other section has half the interest in
suppressing the dastaTdly midnight outraSes
which disturb and disgrace the South that the
South herself has. She needs peace and rest ;
she needs order and security she needs capi-
tai and population all which these crimes de-
stroy or repel. Not one-fouIth of her acres
are under cultivation not a hundredth part
of her water-power is utilized her annual
product of minerals is not a thOusandth Of
what it might and should be- An influx Of
Two or Three Millions of intelligent cncr-
getic, efficient miners and manufacturers
would double the average value of her real
estate and reduce by one-half the burden Of
her taxation. Yet those whose deeds of arson,
manning and murder, preclude any considera-
bic influx Of capital or industry va1nt them

The Democratic party has multitudes of out
side cOunselors who urge it to remember that
Democracy ought to mean devotion to Equal
Rights, but especially to the imperiled rights
of the ignorant, the humble, the powerless.
It's leaders are exhOrtcd to consider that they
might secure a considerable segment OF the
Colored vote, even yet, by eyinciDg humanity

these well ll-meaning counselors, " is to be Demo-

Such importantly is vain. The Democratic

Bismarck finds his reward in promotion;
Won Moltke takes his in n decoration. The
new rank of Bismarck is tho highest a Prus-
sian subject can ho1e to attain; the jewel Of
Won Moltke is the richest a German soldier
can win. The Empire which he created
makes the arch Diplomatist Prince Of the
realm. The Empire which he cenoptcd and
consolidated gives the great Soldier the
Grand Cross of its chief order of knighthood
"A decoration presented exclusively TO win
ners of decisive battles and captors
or defenders Of fOrtrcsses. But the re-
wards are inadequate TO the merits OF
the men. No such diplomacy as that by which
Count Bismarck united Germany has been suc-
cessful in Europe these hundred Of years.
Napoleon /. himself never created such an army
as that organized by Won Moljke, or made
more energetic war than the German march
from the Rhine to Paris. II is common at tiIs
distance to rail at Bismarck as crafty, and per-
haps the harsh Judgment is just, but it Is un-
deniabe that his craft has been exclusively
and untiringly employed, and his ambition only
satisfied, in making Germany great and united.
II must not be forgotten in dismissing him to
probable retirement and peace that III all his
triumphs when at the gates alike Of Vienna
and Paris, his moderation and sagacity re-
strained the German powers, and prevented
war from becoming general throughout all
FuroDp Had he nnrmittod thO Prussian army
to enter Vienna, as it might have done after
Sadowa, he would not only have frightened
France into interference, but, worse still, have
inculcated hate of German Prussia i'll German
Austria, and thus placed beyond the hope Of
remote realization the dream of the HOhcn-
zolerns that they are to reign in the palaces
of the Hapsburgs. Bismarck could not deny
to German soldiers their right to enter Paris,
but he made the humiliation OF the French
Capital light compared to that which his own
had endured at French hands. Bismarck S
greatest reward is yet to come in being un-
derstood. For Won MOltke appreciation has
already come. The organization Of the Prus-
sian staff, which cOnceals the motive power
behind the throne, has not served to vail lis
greatness and the world recognizes him as
indisputably the greatest of living educated
soldiers.
