cal than convincing They are diffuse with

exceptions, and these are oil the more promi-
nent on account of the atmosphere of dulness
mons published to-day many interesting par
ticulars may be found. The life of the Re-
deemer seems to be favorite topic. DR..
Deems in the Church of the Strangers, speaks
of the roison d strc of Christianity on logical
and moral grounds, and refers literally to the
work and acts and words Of the Messiah
as set forth in the Bible. Mr.. Gallagher q
jersey divine, dwells eloquently on the char
acter of Christ and objects to the use of the
word priest in the religion of the Gospel. Mr..
Brigham, of All Souls church, goes into an
elaborate disquisition on the Saviour and the
Divine Spirit Catholic Brooklyn is repre-
sented by the Rev. Eugene Cassidy, who gives
liberal Interpretation of the sacrament of
baptism, showing that it may be eficacous,
either by faith or by martyrdom, without the
actual ceremony being performed. He says
that Luther made terrible mistake in max
ing the rule of faith the reading of the Bible
and the judging for ones SELF The Catholic
Church, he maintains, is the only sure
anchorage in religion. as may be seen from
the doubt and blasphemy that prevail outside
her fold at the present day.
DR.. Ormiston, in the Fifth Avenue Re-
formed church, lnbors hard with simile of
broken cistern and a ife-giving fountain as
applied to the spiritual wants of his hearers.
He remarks, nafvely, in regard to music as q
means of praising God, "Let all sing who can
sing, and those who cannot sing let them do
the best they can." Mr.. Hartzell, of Con-

illustrating it with the fact that certain per-
son of transcendent genius nay, electrifying
genius, has been lately visited with the
blight of death, and that he was
stricken down in moment. He con-
cludes his sermon with quotation
from Tennyson. DR.. Cornell says one good
thing in his sermon to the effect that ''the
loud brawler of the market, telling what he
did and said is very unlike Christ" Mr..
Adams, in Brooklyn, illustrates human help

King Caucus.

King Caucus is o very powerful potentate,
whom nobody likes, but whom everybody en-
dures. He is to very great extent that
source of power which is supposed to reside
in the people When nomination is to be
made, whether it be for President of the
United States or q town constable, it is the
caucus which dictates the nomination. How
the caucus came into existence or how it is
composed nobody seems to know nor very
much to care. Indifferent people take no part
in the primary political work of campaign,
and the 'active" politicians, of whom there
are never more than two or three in each
party in the same election district, manipulate
matters to suit themselves. 1t is not difficult
to understand that a system based upon the
will Of few men among the many should be
a sham, and that its operations, whether in
county, State or national convention, should
be very far from expressive of the real will Of
the people The caucus system is an ire
sponsible tyranny, which is corrupt as well as
arbitrary. All this is admitted even by its
friends but in the practical workings of our
politics it seems impossible TO find anything
better. The press occasionally takes up the
subject, and while the corruption and wrong
and tyranny of the system are made plain
enough, the way out of the evil does not so
clearly appear. Now and then we hear
a suggestion which is valuable For in
stance, the Taunton Gazette in discussing
this subject remarks that sit is as easy to
register party voters for q primary as for
regular election, aud the party which first
adopts this plan will certainly save itself from

Nor since last autumn has General Grant
shown any feeling but that of indifference in
regard to the results Of the State elections.
The administration did nothing for the repub-
ican ticket last spring in New Hampshire or
Connecticut, and did nothing to save the
party from its recent heavy defeat in North
Carolina. On the other hand, in 1872 no
stone was left unturned by the administration
to carry these States, and they all were car
ried. The conclusion inevitably follows that
General Grant now desires to prove to the re-
publican party that he is necessary to its sue
cess q nd upon his own terms, or that he de-
sires new party in its place and under the
flag of General Grant for third term.
For either of these designs his reticence
upon this third term mystery is working we'll
in the Generalization of the republican party,
and there is no third proposition which will
fit the case. Returning, then, to these recent
Southern elections, their bearing upon the
Presidential succession may be readily de-
fined. They do not point to General Grant as
the republican candidate; they have not turned
upon Grant as the probable opposition candi-
date They point to the overthrow Of the re-
publican party and the administration. In
short, the opposition argument against the
dominant party is its argument against the
continuance of Grants administration. How,
then, the Southern opposition elements are to
detach the administration from the despotic
acts, usurpations and corruptions of the re-
publican party in the nomination of General
Grant for third term we cannot tell. We
see, however, that this difficulty Of third
term is breaking down the republican organi-
zation, and that the continued silence of Gen
eral Grant will result, first, in an opposition
majority in the next House of Representatives,
and next, perhaps, in another message to the
two houses congratulating them upon the ex-
tnction in our recent elections of those party
lines which have heretofore divided the people
and determined in advance the results of our
political elections

secure her against the enmity excited at
Madrid. She was in a position to obtain,
with the consent and even the applause of
Europe, the friendship and close alliance of
Spain by easy operations that would have
been instructive exercises for her army. In
stead of that she drove Spain into the arms of
Germany, and she discovers the propriety of
treating her neighbor fairly and generously
only when that neighbor no longer needs her
and has even made terms against her.
But what is the condition of our own diplo-
macy In regard to this case? What does Mr.
Fish know of the terms agreed upon between
Germany and Spain? Mr.. Bancroft was SO
fondly loved in Berlin that the Foreign Office
probably had no secrets from him, and Mr..
Cushing is such a miracle of astuteness that
he has doubtless sent from Madrid the later
chapters of the story so our State De-
partment is doubtless in possession of all the
facts, and has even made its protests and OBJ
jections where any seemed necessary. Itwould
be very proper for the people to know if any
were necessary and what they were. Our in
terest in the alliance between Germany and
Spain can only be second to that Of France,
for Spain is an American Power. Did the
price of Germanys support of Spain involve
any territory in this hemisphere?
Months have already passed since we were
told somewhat vociferously that Spain had
refused to give Germany ''a mortgage" on
some fher outlying possessions in the Pacific.
1t is very apt to be the case in matters of this
sort that the first we hear of great successes
is that they are failures. The reported refusal
of Spain may be false or true, but it was a
significant scrap Of news. 1t indicated
what sort of collateral or equivalent
Germany desired in consideration of ad-
vances of men or money to Spain and
the species of property being thus pointed
out it should at least pique the curiosity OF
maritime nations to know if Spain did not
give mortgage on the Pacific islands named,

Danger of War in Europe.

On the Continent the sky is dark and
lowering. and it is impossible not to
feel that storm is brewing, yet nobody
can tell in which direction to look for
the first fash. There are no distinct
quarrels ready for fighting about, but
the relations of several important states
exhibit Just the sort of feverish irrita-
ton which may at any moment precipi-
tate collision. It may be assumed
that France and Germany are bound to
fight some day but France, though
busy with military preparations of
which every traveller through the coun-
try brings over startling accounts, is
not yet ready for war and on the other
hand, it is difficult to see what more it
can be possible for the Germans to get
out of another conquest. There can be
no doubt, however, that Germany is
Just now in rather an explosive condi-
ton. The people are groaning bitterly
under the strain to which they have
been subjected, and which has still to
be continued in order to maintain the
enormous armament which is deemed
necessary as a check upon reprisals by
France. At this moment Germany is
probably the strongest power in Eu-
rope but the question IS how long it
can maintain itself in this position. It
is at the highest point now, but the
cost of this supremacy Is fearfu1ly ex-
hausting. Every year the country be-
comes less capable of enduring the
draius upon 1t in men and money, and
every year, while Germany is at the best
only barely holding it's ground, other
powers are growing rapidly in strength
and confidence. Hence the idea which is
supposed to have taken possession of
Bismarck, that the policy of Germany
should be to strike while it is at the
top of it's strength, and while other
countries are weaker, and thus to OBJ
tain an opportunity of lessening its
military expenses by paralyzing its
chief opponents while it still has
power to do so. It must be remem-
bered that it is not merely France by
itself that the Germans have to reckon
within the future, but also the Papacy
and the Czar-two very formidable op-
ponents, who would each be pretty sure
to do all in their power to helpe France
against the power which has already
defed the one, and is suspected of a
similar intention in regard to the other.
The European situation, therefore,
comes pretty much to this-that Ger
many, despairing of becoming any
stronger, and more than doubling its
ability to maintain its strength at it's
present standard, would be glad of an
opportunity of trying to cripple its an
tagonists at once in such way as to
secure for itself some amount of ease
and peace for good while to come.
Whether this opportunity viii be found
nobody eau say !; but there can at least
be little doubt that Germany is bent on
creating an opportunity if it can, and
that it will avail itself of any that offers.
It is no wonder, then, that with such a
-LzG1 e L
should be doubt and perturbation in the
financial world. Almost anything may
happen before spring.-Londo1a Cor.
