PRINCE BISMARCK's TAUNTs.
Spectator 18th March.)

WE obsprvedonly a fortnight ago, in speaking
of Won Moltke's great speech, that there APP
reared to be something of meditated policy IN
the tone Of ostentatious precaution against at
tack, and exaggerated apprehension of the dam
ger of attack, which the German official speak
ers were Introducing into their speeches. The
two utt erances of Prince Bismarck'S which we
have had within the last ten days, more than
confirm the impression that this tone, whether
from the motive we then suggested, or from
any other, has at least been premeditated. In
resisting the motion of the AlSatian Deputies
for the repeal Of the exceptional laws to which
their province is subjected, Prince Bismarck
took occasion to speak almost as scOrnfully of
France AS he thinks. We do not in the least
suppose that he spoke more scornfulIy than he
thinks, perhaps even less so. For Prince
Bismarck's chief skill in Disgusting his policy
has generally consisted in the frankneSs with
which he his avowed his feelings, a course
which diplomatists have never been apt to in
terpret rightly, 50 accustomed are they to a
very different mode Of procedure. And no
doubt it is quite true that Prince Bismarck
does not speak out without a purpose, though,
when he does speak out, he is apt to say what
he means, calculating very sagaciouSly that
that is the last thing diplomatists will give him
credit for. He did not express his true feel
ings for Austria for a considerable time before
be broke up the old Bund. lie did not express
his true feelings for France while the struggle
with Austria was still indeterminate. When
he does express his feelings, they are apt to be
his true feelings, because he knows that frank.
ness is one of the best DISCUSSES a diplomatist
can wear. But he says nothing at all, when he
thinks it for any reason imprudent to say what
he means. Hence We do not doubt that the
taunts he has lately cast at France, first in adj
dressing the Reichstag, and next in talking
with the Hungarian Interlocutor, Herr Won
Jokai, with whom he converSed so freely the
other day, were the quite genuine expression of
his feeling, though he calculated rightly that
the very candour with which he avOwed it
would puzzle statesmen, and probably mlslead
them as to his ultimate purpose. That ne IN
tended to irritate France We do not doubt at
all not, most likely, in the hope of provoking
a speedy war, though it is very possible indeed
that Prince Bismarck would not object to such
an issue, if only the initiative were again taken
by France, but certainly in the hope of excit-
ing apprehension of war in Germany, and caus-
ing such signs of new irritation in France as,
though such excitement may be steadily sup
pressed, would at least answer the purpose OF
keeping Germany anxious and alert, and indls-
posed to discuss with any eagerAsss questions

Government. We suspect that Prince Bis
marck regards foreign suspicion and foreign
hostility towards Germany as, for the present,
a great advantage to the cause of German
unity and cohesion. He looks upon such hosti-
litv as a counter irritant,-aS medical men re-
gard blisters and mustard asters,-likely to
diminish interior inflammation. He thinks he
can hardly, for the present, SOW in Germany
enough apprehension of foreign ill-will. His
fight with the Pope is a policy of the same
kind, only that there he hazards also serious
diSsenSions within the Empire, in order to
unite the great majority Of the German people
still more closely. With one great national
foe and one great spiritual foe to fight, he
thinks, no doubt, that Germany's two great
dangers, political democracy and social COM
munism, will not gain much ground against the
infant Constitution $50 that Germany may be
welded into something like solid political form,
before any of the questions which most serious
ly divide German politicians and German Pro
|testantS grow into importance.
That is the view we are inclined to take OF
what would otherwise seem to be imprudent
outbursts on the part Of Prince Bismarck.
For what can be apparently less like policy
than for a conqueror who has gained all he
wants to be constantly and publicly rubbing
vitriol into the sores which war and conquest
have made One day, for instance, We find
him ridiculing the Frenca Assembly and its
President, NJ. Buffet, in the Reichstag, remark
ing that had the annexed Germans spoken as
freely at Versailles as the annexed Alsatians
spoke at Berlin, "M. LIE President Buffet, in
that peculiarly incisiye style of his, would have
put a stop to these peroraticns." Now, that Is
not the way in which statesmen usually speak
of he great officials Of neighbouring countries.
1t would mean something if either Prince Bis
marck or the Due de Broglie went out OF his
way to attack the Speaker of the House OF
Commons, or the President Of the Chamber OF
Deputies at Rome. And no doubt it meant
something when Prince Bismarck spoke in the
most taunting way Of the theatrical, French
style of the Alsatian Deputies, and remarked
casually to the ReichStag that it IS the COM
monest thing in the world for a German to be
moved to laughter by the performance OF a
French tragedy, even when acted by the
first heroes Of the stage The whole OF that
speech was one long mockery of France, OF
French Impotence and irritation, and of the
Alsatian indignation at being kept under by the
heavy hand Of Germany. 1t would not do
he said, to. abolish the exceptional laws in
AIsace,-iudeed, he has since made them hea-
vipr-at a time when AlSatians were talking
such nonsensical violence in Berlin. 1t might
be safe to say at Berlin what it would not be

Butchers Meat.

An interesting light says an English paper
is thrown on the mysteries of the slaughter
house by memorial Just presented by Mr..
Yield medical officer Of health for Sunderland,
10 the health committee of that town, against
the blowing and s,uning of meat. The
practice Of blowing is described as follows :;
A tube or pipe is thrust Under the skin Of the
meat. and the butcher or dresser then blows
the fowl air from his own lungs into the cell
ular tissue Of the meat, the effect being
that deceptive appearance Of plrnpness or
fltness is given 10 the meat, and in many
cases il becomes tainted with the smell OF
rum. tobacco, etc This is pleasant for meat
consumers aud where ignorance Is bliss It Is
perhaps folly to be wise, and DOW that public
attention has been called to the blowing "
practice, it might perhaps be as well for
bp,chers so far 70 meet The wishes of the faS-
tidious as TO use peir Of bellows for the pur-
pose of giving graceful emboupont TO the
carcasses Of auinals they kill. Even fot their
own sabes they will act pruden'ly by dIscontln-
ning the use of their lungs in the process.
DR.. Yield also protests against the practice OF
artifcially stufling the loins or other parts Of
the animal with fat go as TO give false ap-
pearance of compliance. AS remedy he sne-
eests the imposition of a penalty for every Of
fense of twenty shiings for the first and forty
shiIlings for each subsequent conviction. His
suggestions were adopted unanimously by the
health committee at Sunderland, and It is TO
be hoped that not only in that town bat else
where artificial fatness will at least be pro-
duced by less dsagreeable means than those
mentioned by DR.. Yield.

face of his desire, aud urge him 70 stay longer
We sometimes do this, too, do we not p as

ton Of our friends VISIT 10y asking that be pro-

Truthful Words.

In a long article on the Chattanooga Con-
veuton, the New York Herald thus truthfully
exposes the motives of the men who forced an
uumitgated evil upon the Southern States by
pnttng ballots in the hands Of men who had
neither the wisdom or virtue necessary u deal
with such high aud sacred trust 1t re-
marks:
"The elective franchise was given TO the
Southern negroes not because it is supposed
they could exercise it with wisdom, but be-
cause it was expected that the freemen could
he relied on as counterpois TO the democratic
party. Good government in the South was
the last thing that was thought Of Univer-
sal negro suffrage was adopted as barrier
against the old supremacy of the democratic
party in the South The motive which die
tated it meets suitable reward. Ii has
brought upon the republican party the dis
grace and opprobrum of the ruinous carpet
bag governments, and has made il impossible
tor that party 70 sustris itself in ihe Sonih ia
any State where there is a white majority.
The republican policy has failed not only in
the larger views Of paciiying the South. but
in the party view Of breaking democratic su-
premacy in the South. Every Southern
State, excepting the two or three 10 which the
negroes are majority, is in democratic hands ;
and the misrue and rapscity which prevail in
those two or three States intensity the convic-
.tion Il at ignorant negro supremacy is an un-
uitigaied evil.
The progress Of tie experiment ha>
made the maintenance Of the republican party
impossible in the maiority Of the Southern
States. When the Kellogg government was
overtLrown in LOUISIANA last month the re-
spectacle property holding citizens unaninim-
ou>y iudorsed the revolution showing that
intelligence, character and property stood IL
solid array against the negro experiment II
would be the most wonderful thing in politics
# tie white citizens of the South did not eX-
hibit symptoms Of mutiuy against the orga-
uized rapacity and fobbery which prevail
under the negro rule"
