Paris . Poipt Of Princely RcndezvOus.
A congregation of princes and princesses in
the capital of France is not by any means an
tions of the world are well aware. Its repe-
tition inst at present is remarkable, notwith-
standing but merely so from its infrequency
of late, and consideration Of the circum-
stances under which it has been renewed We
reported in the HERALD yesterday the fact
that the Prince of Wales was present in the
hall of the French parliamentary Assem-
bly, on Monday during the progress
Of the violent scene Of legislative
excitement and tumult of which we were told
by cable telegram, and that His Royal High
ness rem aimed to the close of the proceedings.
The heir apparent to the British throne was
delayed in the French capital yesterday, and
will leave the city to-day en- route for Cannes.
He is accompanied by bis wife, the Princess
Alexandra of Wales, lady well calculated to
restore by her presence all modern French
men to q proper appreciation of sense Of
that heightened chivalry which is hereditary
to and inseparable from their name and race.
In this the Princess may perhaps be accepted
as missionary in the cause of international
social reform-a grand and noble work, in
the discharge Of which, 1t is said, she has
already had considerable experience at the
other side of the Straits of Dover. The royal
ism Of Great Britain was not solitary in its
sovereignty. Its representatives were joined
by brilliant circle of kindred company. The
Prince and Princess Of Wales lunched with
the Prince and Princess de Joinville, the
Duo dAumale, the Count and Countess Of
Paris and the Duke de Nemours. The mem
bers Of the party were, no doubt, personally
happy. It may be that they were so in
dynastio point of view also. This is not
by any means certain, however. The assem-
blage presented an imperialist aggregation
near centre of royal renown and of the most
kingly lustre. The members Of the party
could not be at loss for subjects of con-
genial conversation If they took up the history
of France at any one moment Of Its progress
during the past five hundred years, from the
time Of King Charles v. and Louis de Valois'
Duke Of Orleans, In 1872, to the present.
President Theirs, attended by his STALL v'si'su
the company, and thus in his own proper per-
son presented remarkable point for ois"nc'
and memorable contrast. The sovereignty

began His popularity was sufficient to carry
in Van Buren, as ais immediate successor, but
in his State pet bank system "Old Hickory"
left legacy to Van Buren, which brought
about the political tornado Of 1910, and which
might have been the death ~. of Of The The
democratic PARTY but for the defec-
t...ccil of President John Tyler as o
wing. From that day, on Texas and Oregon
and on Henry Clay's slavery compromises,
the democracy revived and fourished, till,
with the election of Pierce, they seemed to be
good for twenty years more of power. But
the Southern oligarchy, with the repeal of the
Missouri compromise in 1854, in making the
democratic an aggressive pro-slavery party,
carried it into the Southern rebellion, from
which it emerged only to be carried through
new course of lessons on the constitution from
the thirteenth to the fifteenth amendment.
Now, in accepting these amendments the
democracy stand In the position of the
old federal party in 1920, and of the
old whig party in 1862, completely used
up, and with nothing left of the party policy
to fight for. Why, then, should not the de-
mocracy take the new departure of the liberal
republican party2 What else can they do,
with any hope of success for the present or the
future? We shall doubtless soon have now
some decisive movements in this direction,
movements which will make the Cincinnati
Convention of 1872 landmark of the organi-
zation of a new and powerful political party.
And such, as we interpret it, will be among
the great results of this little but important
New Hampshire election.

ANOTHER RAILROAD HUMBUa.-The enter
prising city railroad lobbyists are still busy
at the State capital. Yesterday the Three
Tier job, another WORKOUT lobby hack, was
trotted out and reported favorably in the
Senate. This stupid scheme, out of which
the projectors hope to make money by
agreeing not to build the road and not by
building it, has been before the
Legislature begging for votes-like
Niobe, all tears-for the last eight ses-
sions. 1t has always been defeated,
and will be again. Indeed, 1t is to be hoped
that all the railroad acknowledgement, ele-
waited and three tier-now before the Legisla-
ture may knock their brains out against each
other. 1t is to be regretted, however, that
there s not honesty and intelligence enough
at Albany to reject all these impracticable,
jobbing schemes and to pass bill
that would insure the speedy construction of
two viaduct roads, one on the east and one on
the west side of the city, and thus give to
New York what Is 80 much needed-cheap
and rapid transit from the Battery to Spuyten
Duyvil Creek.

THE FRENCH LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY was
again agitated and excited deeply by the ut
terance of personalities during the debate in
the session yesterday. The decentralization of
the Parliament is becoming continuous, almost
chronic, in France. 1t will become dangerous
to the constitution If it is not arrested speedily
and effectually.

The Vote In ConRross ON the Mexican
Question,
Although the motion of Mr.. Brooks, In the
House of Representatives, to suspend the
rules for the Introduction of the resolution on
the condition of Mexico, with a view to estab-
fishing protectorate over that country, was
rejected, there was large vote in favor of It,
The yeas were seventy-two and the nays
ninety. We take it for granted that all who
voted to suspend the rules approved Of the
resolution to appoint joint committee 'to
devise the wisest and best policy to be pur-
sued In relation to Mexico and for the estab-
lishment of law and order on our border"
We may fairly presume, too, that in a full
House and on the merits of the resolution, after
discussion of the subject, larger number Of
votes would be given for o prOtectorate or
annexation. There being majority of only
eighteen against the motion, it is evident the
impression is growing stronger in Congress
that the United States will have to put an end
to the chronic anarchy in Mexico. Then, had
the resolution come from the republican side 1t
would, no doubt, have received more votes,
and, probably, large majority. The repub-
licans would hardly be willing to let the DEM
ocrats be the successful movers in great
question like this. The acquisition Of Mexico
is inevitable sooner or later, and the party
that first moves in this and makes 1t
a part of its policy will reap the benefit of
popular favor. There are probably large
number of republican Congressman who would
vote for Mexican protectorate or annexation,
if introduced by their own party, and particu-
larly if favored by the administration, who
hold back from the movement as it comes from
| the democratic side. But why do nck the re-
publicans make this party measured Why
does not the administration secure the politi-
cal capital 1t affords? The government will
be forced before long to interpose to prevent a
border warfare and to protect our citizens and
their property in Texas from Mexican robbers
and anarchists Mexico Is powerless to sup
press the evil and preserve order In no way
could General Grant make his administration
30 popular as by taking possession of Mexico,
either under protectorate or by annexation.
He could by bold policy of this character
add q territory to the United States that would
| prove as valuable to us and our commerce as
India has been to England. 1t would give an
extraordinary impulse to American enterprise
and trade, would vastly increase our products
both in variety and quantity, particularly in
the precious metals, and would tend greatly
to harmonize the people of different sections
and parties through one common, patriotic,
grand, ambitious and national object. The
President would show wisdom by adopting
this policy to reunite the American people, to
CRAFTY their ambition and to open new and
vast field of enterprise to the country.

made by merchants let us remember that
merchants" will always complain so long as
duties are collected, and if the President Of
the United States were to charge himself with
the adjudication Of every question that comes
to him from our merchants he would have en-
ployment enough for twenty years. In deal
ing with the President we are bound to use the
widest liberality. He cannot be summoned
hither and thither and compelled to execute
the duties of his Office in the corridors of
hotel. Nor should we wonder when we are
told that the nature of the general order bust
surprised If there were one hundred people
outside of those who are directly connected
with the business who could now give clear
explanation of what it means, even after the
hundreds of columns delugsd upon them by
the party press. If there was any evil in the
Leet and Stocking contract 1t rested with the
Collector Of the Port We only see the hand
of the President In the work of reformation.
and we should not be surprised to hear in q
few months as much complaint of General
Arthur and his new arrangement as we have
heard Of Leet and Stocking. As we have said,
the evil Is not altogether in the men but In the
system, and we do not choose TO be allursd
out Of the path of true Custom House reform
by taking sides in the angry and selfish brawl
of politicians.
So long as there are custom houses mer-
chants will complain. Merchants do not take
kindly to duties in any shape, and they GER
tainly have no desire to pay out their money
unless when necessary. The best tariff in the
world is clumsy and unpleasant, and the his
tory of tariff legislation is the history of sue
cessive outrages upon commerce and manufac-
lures. England went through her protective
era, and the judgment Of one Of the wisest Of
English writers Is, that but for the success
that attended smuggling the commerce Of
England would have been ruined. The coun-
try squlres and lords of the treasury, In the
olden times, made tariffs to suit their fancy,
without regard TO the genuine wants Of the
kingdom. One interest MAS pgoteotsd ct ha

bloodiest civil war in the history Of any peo-
pie. 1t is probable, however, that the federal
party would have lived many years beyond its
actual term of existence but for the war and
its opposition to the war with England
in 1872 This war, in reviving all the
patriotic feelings and souvenirs Of l776, made
the federal party, In the popular estimation,
an enemy of the republic and an ally of Eng
land. Hence from 1912 the rapid decline
Of this party-rapid for those days of sleepy
sailing ships and drowsy pony expresses of
five miles an hour-to its disappearance from
The political field In 1920, in the second cleo
ton of Monroe.
Next, in 1924, the opposition party having
disappeared, and the people having become
call republicans and all federalists," the old
republican party itself was dissolved in the
Presidential contest between Jackson, Adams,
Crawford and Clay. This was q contest upon
the personal merits Of the several candidates,
aptly described as a scrub race. The election
was carried to the House Of Representatives,
and the House, In electing Adams over
|
electoral vote, made Jackson the winning can
dida'e on the succession. John Randolph de-
nounced the election Of Adams as "a bargain
and sale between the blackleg and the Puri
tan' the alleged blackleg being Henry Clay,

Dick johnson, of Kentucky, declared that

angels of light" This idea and the battle Of
New Orleans In 1916 and the general popular
feeling from that war still fresh and strong
against England carried jackson triumph
antly into the White House In the election of
1928, and thus he became the founder Of the
democratic party.
