Germans and may, indeed, be worth what III mas cost
but il is superb triing to pretend that it has light
ened the military burdens of Europe, or lessened
the causes of European wars.
The theory of government which prevails in Ger
MANY is that of Hobbies. Just as Friedrich SPIEL
hagen saws that the Prussian is either master or
eorvant so might he say that Prussian society ID
made of two classes-oficers of the law and victims
Of the law In practice every man here 10 presumed
TO be a law-breakey till be proves the contrary.
That large standing army renders Germany more
.acre against attack is true enough, as 1t Is true
that large police force in given city makes crimes
more hazardous But who ever heard the necessity
for large police put forward as proof of healthy
condition of society Yet this is exactly the posi-
tion Of Moltke and his school The flaw ls'not 80
much in their logic as ! their moral opaqueness.
They calmly assume as the natural condition OF
society and peace as an exceptional blessing onIy
to be secured by continual preparation for and
proyocatin TO war. 1t seems 20 ime that the Con-
tiner.,,, States lust now are not unlike man who
.oould buy horse means of resting unalsturbed

AT any rate the military strength is fixed for the
next seven wears and nothing short OF revolution
can alter it, The increase is an absolute ana at the

40 GOO men TO the regular army is fact which car

MRS. TILTON'S STORY.
HER HUSBANDS ALLEGATIONS EXPLICITLY
DENIED.

TIE STATEMENT OF Mr.. BEECIIER C0RROBORATf'p-
HER HUSBANDS CALuMNIEs OFTEN REPEATED
LETTER wREsTED FROM HER WHEN SHE WAS
SICK UNTO DEATH-IIER HUSBANDS MOTIVES
ONLY THREE WITNESSES MORE.
Mrs. Elizabeth II. TiltOn publishes card to
the public in which she denies explicitly the
criminal charges made by her husband against
Mr.. Beecher and herself. she asserts that the
determination to ruin Mr.. Beecher has been
the aim of his life, and that his calum-
nes have frequently left his mouth
Her own innocence and that OF MI
Beecher she solemnly a6irms. she
states that one of the letters which Mr.
TiltOn cites was obtained from her by impor-
tunity when she was sick unto death, and that
the one which she wrote to Mr.. Moulton, IN
which she stated that she had never desired
a separation from her husband, was written
by Mr. Tilton and copied by her in her weak
ness. The only confession which she ever
made to her husband was like Catherine
Gaunts, in which love for her friend and
pastor was admitted, but in which there was
no sin of criminal act or thought. In the
latter half of the letter she describes the cir
cumstances under which she conferred with
the Investigating Committee, Mr. Tilton's
efforts to make her his ally in his warfare
with Mr.. Beecher, and the final separation.
Mr.. TiltOn, meanwhile, has been subjected
to rigid cross-examination, in the course OF
which his relations to public lecturers were
called in question, and confession OF his re-
ligious faith was made. Only three witnesses,
it is claimed, are to be examined-Mr. Beecher,
Mrs. Titon, and Mr.. Moulton.

IBI TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, July 23.-For several days the
bankers brokers and heavy business men OF the
country have manifested grave interest In the suo
iect of the sale of the remaining S1790OOOO OF the
Eve per cent funded loan, bids for which were in
yited by the circular of the Secretary of the Irea
sury on the Cd inst Wall-st. has been especially IN
terested and several Of the heaviest operators
arrived here this morning to be present at the open
ing of the bids. Contrary TO general expectation
however the bids, which reached an unexpectedly
large number opened privately, the secretary
the Assistant Secretary and the Chief of the Loan
Division only being present. This course OF
the Secretary was rather harshly commented
upon, on the ground that the rates onered
ought to be given to the business men OF the
country at the earliest moment iD order that the
condition of the loan and the credit of the Govern
ment among the people might be known. II was
also urged that if the prices offered and the amounts
desired were given to the public at once, the opera
tors and business men throughout the country
would have an equal chance but that if the promul-
CATION of the offers was withheld the Government
would be liable TO the charge of having helped
fayorites 10 profitable speculatioDs. Most OF the
bids are from New-York, and embrace the hrms OF
Selgman g. Co., Morton, Bliss d Co.. DrexeI Nor
gan & Co, Won Hoffman & Co.. and other leadlng
bankers The aggregate amount OF hrm olds was
s76OOOOOO, and one bid contained an option clause
of six months for the whole of the S179cOO'ocO.
Secretary Bristow says that, beside the formal
bids he has received large number OF applications
for the direct purchase of the bonds at par the
purchasers TO pay the gold and take the bonds at
once Some OF these bids very large from SIN
gle firms To all of these the Secretary replied that
under existing laws. he was forbidden TO accept
snch offers as he could not make direct sales OF
bonds and increase the public debt il addition by
calling in the fve-twenties. The Secretary is fully
satisfied with the responses he has received from bis
circuar and is in strong faith that he will be able
to dispose Of the entire loan at advantageous rates
From the tenor of the dispatches and let
tiers opened at the Department to-day, the
Secretary forced TO the belief that. II he had the
power to dispose of new bonds to all comers, upon
demand, he could place the whole loan In very brief
time; but 10 place the whole loan Immediately IN
this manner and use the amount to call In an equal
sum of Fvetwentles would increase the public debt
for period Of three months, and this the law does
not allow The details of the bids will not be made
known until the President sees fit TO permit their
publication. Abstracts of them were conveyed to
the President by the Secretary tonight.
