This is what Beecher. IN the Christian Union
says about Simmer removal:
The whole truth. W. suppose, lies in this. that
with all bis eminent eXceiIences. Mr. Sumner does
not know how TO yield anything TO others. He
does nor know how 10 have r conscience supreme
over himself without making it supreme over
others. He makes his own convictions
fhe inperiOus law OF other mems /: he il apt to re-
gard a. personal foes all who do not accept his
judgments he ia a poor leader and a worse fol-
lower.
It was stated ia the debate. in the Senate. that
Mr.. Sumner was not in social relations eI5her with
The President. or With the Secretary Of state. The
charge wac not denied. il was only met by saving
that Mr. Sumner was at ali fines ready 20 confer
with Gen. Grant or Mr. Fish, On paBle affairs
To pat a personal enemy Of the PresI-
dent at The head Of the Committee through which
the President il 10 he in sympathy with the SEN
ate. is az it a grnflenasn Should attach a 9alvsnic
battery To the beILpBIJ of bis door. and then mar
vel that people preferred to transact their business
with somebody else. IL ia feared By
s0ne. and hoped by Others. that a deadly waond
has been given 10 the Republican Party. If that
party has so slender a bold upon the country chat
a change Of a Chairman in a Senate Committee
can destroy il, it is ti@e that it be destroyed. Bot
we have no such belief. and have no fears as TO Tia
danger. Mr.. Wilson spoke with Gbe exa9geraefon
81 exered feeling when he declared that ninety ia
a hundred N the party would be offended By this
action. In fact. Mr.. Sumner Is not a man to win
personal influence among the common people. or
TO create popular enthusiasm toward himself. The
men who viii regret this history are the moral and
tbOG2btfRl men Of the party, and suck men sM re-
rise her first inapressjOns. They will not, at any
rate. abandon the party on such slender reasons "a
the dispossession OF a trusted and bouoFed man
from a place Of influence. This is one Of those
potjttcGt 1hiritoinds to MITCH arr politics are subject.

WHIT FE6xCE osEs-Aeeordin to the terms Of
the treaty France loses an area OF territory eqaal
TO 400 square miles. containing upwards Of 1000
0O9 inhabitants. or nearly four times the entire
population Of California. 1000 cannon are turned
over to the Germans in Paris alone. The debt Of
France Esst year, was set down at $3.50 .OO6. 900.
The var indemnity il not less than $3.50. 900.
after S7s0,9O0.006 Of fines aad other e~Eacti0ns are
deducted. Adding IN the cost Of the late war, the
best Authorities make The debt Of France to be now
about S9-590O0O, 900. In 1901. France required
the payment Of 100000 600 from Prussia. Con
sideFiDg the resources Of Prussia AZ that time.
France required relatively qHite "a large a SUM
from Prussia - the latter now demands from
viii the turn Of France cone within the
next half a century TO double this last demand for
the French that there were msn then living who
Tould witness the retHrn Of that sum With interest
by France. sgch a declaration would have sounded
ike an idle boast. But the money has been re-
turned. Once in q IittIe more than half a century.
to preeedspts. this war indemnity il
handed back with interest and something more.
France having settled the bill, will probably
devote the next half century 10 preparation for
calling her adversary TO account. When the
depnand for the next settlement IL made il is not
likely that France will be a whit more meTciinI
than vas Prussia in exactiDg the utmost ~fartbing.
