THE coalition game is played out, the re-
spective actors have put their puppets up,
removed their stage toggery and now appear
in their original light. The World which
called Mr.. Greeley ON the morning of No
vember 4th, ga marvel of tact and wisdom -
said his spirit has been high and chivalrous''
and declared that che had shown perfect self
poise and solid good sense" Now that the
the election is over and DISCUSSES are no long
er necessary, the World says that Mr.. Gree
ley ''confesses to hollowness and folly of the
distinguishing thing in the platform" on which
he stood; she makes haste to renounce and
trample under his feet the evasive juggle
which alone made his nomination possible !"
she cannot escape the imputation of having
given his sanction to a miserable fetch whose
dishonest emptiness he perfectly understood.
and which he would have been the first to
brand under other circumstances" He is
asked if he ever regarded the tariff plank in
the Cincinnati platform Gas anything but a
disreputable dodge-a dodge which he over
stated and exaggerated, as well as sanctioned,
in his letter of acceptance" He is accused
of having been all along engaged in ''heart-
less and tricky canvass" ''The very thing
which rendered his nomination possible, is
admitted by himself to have been an impos-
ture.'

pitching into the Tribune, but 80 soon after
their late unnatural union, it Is little un-

KAISER WILLIAM or Prince Bismarck do
not propose to be banked in their attempts
to reform the local governments of Germany.
Bismarck's reform bill passed the lower or
elective House by large majority but the
hereditary branch of the legislative-the
peers-rejected the bill by nearly unani-
nous vote. The Emperor announces that
he will secure his contemplated reforms even
if he is obliged to employ his constitutional
powers to create peerages, and he has
already made sixty lif. peers pledged to his
reform measures and intimates that if these
are not sufficient to overcome the opposition
majority, he will create another lot In this
action, the Emperor furnishes an excellent
argument against hereditary governments.

WISCONSIN gives Gen. Grant 1900 major
ity, yet the census shows that one-third of
its population are foreigners and more than
two-thirds are put down as having both or
one parents foreign. 1t further shows that
one-six!h are Germans. The fact that the
French arms calumny campaign document
and Senator Wilson's reputed Know Nothing
speeches, were spread broadcast, shows how
hstle influence the reformers had even when
appealing to former national preiudices.

TEE Republican papers of New York are
already discussing the question of who shall
be speaker of the the next Assembly. He

be Speaker of the Assembly than Governor

Speaker of the Assembly gives tone to the

to be OF the same character; but if he shows
weakness and signs of corruption, the Assem-

Mr.. SUMMERS HEALTH.-An exchange in
the way of knowing accurately, recently said
of Senator Summers health:
It's quietly intimated among those friends of
Mr.. Sumner who are most intimate with him
that his state of health is much more critical
than the world knows; and that. instead of the
reports of his mending being true, they are in
tended to reassure his friends, and do not rep
resent his condition. Those persons do not be-
lieve Mr.. Sumner will return in November. as
it has been stated he would, and they would
not be surprised if he did not take his seat in
the Senate during the approaching session.
Some OF them even fear that his health will be
such as to prevent him from ever again enter
ing official life, and many would not be sur
prised to learn of his death at any time; for he
has an aggravated disease of the heart which
may deprive him of his life at any instant.

BRApLAUGH, the English Republican agi-
tator, fixes the date of the establishment of
an English republic at 1876. With this end
in view he is about to organize a National
Republican party, on the model of the par
ties in the United States. The first ''nation-
al convention" is to be held soon at London
or Manchester, If the present English min
istry is successful in enfranchising the agfi-
cultural laborers, the prospects of the new
party will not be at all desperate. Undoubt-
edly some of us who are living now will see a
government established in England in which
the Democratic principle will be more strong
ly implanted than in that of the United
States.

THn aow Vermont Central Railroad bill
passed by the Senate on Thursday, causes
some comment. An amendment to one seq
ton of the bill provides that the new COM

railroad, or estate, real or personal, which
theymayown, or in which they may be interes-
ted; and # mortgage be executed as qfore-
said, 1t shall be a lien superior to any other

There is already heavy mortgage upon
the rolling stock, and it is claimed that this
legislation really annuls the security and
practically wipes out the indebtedness Ii so,

GEN. CUSHING ON THE ALABAMA CLAIMS
Gen. Gushing has written a letter to one of the
Alabama claimants, explaining the condition
and probable mode of adjustment of the claims.
He takes pains to show the difference between
the present and the old French Spoliation
claims. In the latter there was no money paid
over to the United States for the benefit of its
citizens, whereas in the Alabama claims there
will not only be such furd, but it has been
founded on individual claims already fled
Gen. Gushing sums up this part of the matter
by saying: There is ne contingency, uncer-
tainty or doubt in all this; you aid the other
parties in interest may, L do not hesitate to say,
rest assured of the honor and good faith of the
Government of the United States in this re-
spect with just as much of gertrude as in the
payment of the gold bonds of the Government"
The money will be distributed under the direc-
ton of Congress, probably by Board of As
SCISSORS. He advises claimants not to sacrifice
their claims by sale or by any contingent agen-
cies. Good attorneys will be needed, but the
certainty of compensation would not justify
any excessive demand for payment of services
