Monetary Crisis Apprehcnded
Bcrlfn.

Berlin.
According to the special despatch to the
HERALD, published to-day, crisis in
monetary and business affairs in Berlin is
imminent There were rumors of heavy COM
mercal failures. Premonitory symptoms Of
such state of things have appeared for some
time past What is the cause? Berlin is not
a great commercial centre. and not port of
commerce like New York, Liverpool or London;
but, being the seat of government and large
city, it has certain trade connected with the
population and interior. There is, however,
considerable speculative business done in
stocks, and since the surprising success of
Germany in the war with France, and the vast
amount of money taken to Berlin by the
French indemnity, the people have become
rather wild. The government may not
have let out as much of the indemnity money
as the Berlinese expected, and, consequently,
they may have found out at last that they have
been OVERRIDING business. But it is the same
old story of people inflated with pride and
expectations at the termination of successful
war running into excesses and speculation.
Of course the reaction follows in this case as
it has in all similar cases throughout history.
This is, no doubt, the explanation Of the re-
ported crisis. Still there is no reason to ap-
prehend widespread disaster, for Germany is
richer than it ever was before and has entered
upon career OF great national progress. Be-
sides, the mass Of the people are Industrious
firms may fall, as they do with us at intervals,
but the country at large is not likely to suffer
greatly from that cause.

The AcHEENEsE are faring worse than the
Ashantees. The Dutch, profting by their
severe losses in April last, instead of going to
sumatra unprepared and badly advised, as the
English would seem to have done in operat-
ing on the Gold Coast have sent formidable
expedition, which has been thus far gratify-
ing success. This morning we publish q
despatch from Pedang which states that the
natives have been defeated, with severe losses,
while tho Dutch lost but four killed and
.xounde5 their troops being IN good condition.

position that for an Executive which hopes
for third term of Office. How long would it
be before the Spaniards, reasoning as people
here already reason, would demand this sur
render? And how could the govern
ment avoid the logical consequences of it's
position? Another point in the complication
was the fact that the government had COM
PEELED its representative at Madrid to protest
against the course taken in the negotiation by
resigning his Office; and had appointed in
his place an accomplished lawyer, who made
no secret of the fact that he thought the posi-
ton of the government altogether untenable.
Thus, with the new envoy not in sympathy
with the government he was to represent;
with the Attorney General elaborately and un-
consciously proving the recent action of the
government to be an impertinent interference
with another Power with the Secretary of
State blowing hot and cold in the same
moment and opening to Spain the oppor-
tunity to overwhelm our government with the
derision of the world, the position was GER
tainly the least enviable that any government
ever held and it is, perhaps, not to be
wondered at if an administration, finding
itself involved at every step more and more
inextricably in an incomprehensible entangle-
ment, should lose faith in the devices of wis
dom and rejoice that the very maignity
of the Spaniards has provided for it
SO large and liberal remedy as the
waters of the wide Atlantic. Wet OBJ
livion could thus easily cover even greater
errors; and it will afford notable comment
ary on the diplomacy and craftsmanship that
have us in their keeping if it shall prove that
the government, as the close of the whole
story. is indebted for its escape from dis
grace and shame to the hatred and contempt
which prompted the Spaniards before they
yielded the virginius to insure that she should
never reach her destination.

spanish Claims Against the United
States.

spanish Claims Against the United
States.
According to special Washington despatch,
which we print this morning, Mr.. Secretary
Fish will by no means be relieved Of the Vir-
ginius complications with the sinking of the
ship. On the other hand, he is in danger of
a heavy bill of damages for the expenses and
the trouble resulting to Spain from the opera
tions of the Virginius under the United States
flag in the service of the Cuban insurgents.
The idea is that, as in her real character this
unfortunate ship was another piratical Ala
bama, Spain has a good claim for indemnify,
as established in the decision Of the Geneva
Tribunal against the Alabama and against
England in failing to do her duty as a neutral
in regard to the Alabama and other rebel
cruisers. This proposition, in the light Of
common sense, may appear supremely ridic-
ulous; but when it is remembered that Mr..
Fish has fallen in love with the Spanish Re-
public, such as it is, and appears resolved to
gain its affection on any terms, we can UNDER
stand that he may be willing to do almost
anything and to suffer everything TO oblige
his friend CASTELAR,.
Let US suppose, then, that Spain has put in
her claim for indemnity on account of the SER
vices of the virginius under our flag to the
Cuban insurgents. and has suggested joint
high commission upon the subject; that the
President, through Mr.. Fish, has proposed the
consideration by said commission Of all the
outstanding difficulties between the two coun-
tries, and that Spain has accepted the over
ture, what are most likely to be the results
under the guidance Of this joint high commits
sion by Mr.. Secretary Fish? A treaty which
will bind the United States in effect to assist
the Republic Of Spain in suppressing the Re-
public in Cuba. 1t can hardly be doubted
that Mr.. Fish desires the suppression of the
Cuban insurgents; and hence, when it is told
us that the new idea of our State Department is
an entente cordiat with Spain, in reference par
ticularly to Cuba, we are prepared for any de-
mands that may come from Madrid, and for
any concessions, however absurd and humiliat-
ing, that may be made at Washington.

Execution Of Murderers in the Do
mfnf0n or Canada.

Hanging is not played out in Canada. No
unhealthy sentimentality is allowed TO weaken
the arm Of the law. Those who do murder
perish by the executoner. We publish in our
news columns the curious story of treacher-
ous murder and its punishment. 1t took place
in the backwoods, on the very outer edge of
civilization but the arm Of the law was long
enough and strong enough to seize and
punish the assassin. There is little new in the
story. Greed called up the dormant evil spirit
of an old man fast tottering to the grave, and,
aided by his son, he slew an unsuspecting
comrade in the hope Of inheriting his gold

courts the friendship of the press, but it is
only to secure fair and independent criticism,
and with this he is contented. He has
nothing in common with the theatrical adven-
turer or the claptrap Snowman. His perform
ances and performers are able to stand before
the people on their merits, and require no
quackery to puff them into public favor.
The press is called upon to notice all per-
formances offered to the patronage of the
people as matter of news and general inter-
est. A journal cannot select the good from
the bad, and can only point out the respective
criticism. The HERALD has paid much atten-
ton TO dramatic matters, and has always en-
deavored to pursue policy of fairness and
independence towards all. However indiffer-
ent the general character Of q theatre, where
there has been particular performance of
merit presented it has been commended.
In like manner, If first class
theatre, managed by such an artist
as Wallack or Booth, has presented an indif-
ferent play or one indifferently acted, it has
been criticised adversely. The HERALD has
taken every possible precaution to prevent
favoritism from being shown in its columns
and to secure entire fairness in its criticisms
But it has never allowed any interference with
its editorial opinions, and will always vigor-
ously resent the intermeddling Of any Buchu
Snowman with its theatrical notices. In this
it only does what any respectable and inde-
pendent journal would do. The advertisers
in widely circulated journal like the HERALD
obtain large profits ont of their advertisements;
if they did not our columns would not be as
crowded as they are. But they are entitled to
no privileges in our paper except that for
which they pay--the privilege Of inserting
their advertisement A theatre is on o par
with our other advertisers, and when an i'm
pertinent demand is made upon us by q
theatrical charlatan for favors which would
not even be solicited bY professional pxo.
