The New York Tribune thus refers to
the difficulties attending those pay-triotic
individuals who pliantly run radical or
gans these days;
"This is a dreadful trying time for an
organ. No sooner does a faithful grinder
get used to tune, than it is changed
without warning and with great racking
to the instrument. Thus, before the
Presidents message was issued the or
gans loudly applauced the course of Gen.
Sheridan, and called upon the public to
uphold the administration in carrying
out his suggestions Without a bit of re-
gard for their feelings, the President re-
fused to uphold Sheridan, and the or
gans had to swallow their W rds, Then
they began to praise the message and ac-
cept all of its statements in regard to the
history of the Louisiana case. Scarcely
had they done this when the report Of
Messrs. Phelps, Foster and Potter came,
absolutely contradicting the Presidents
"facts." A majority Of the organs fairly
desperate, kicked Phelps and Foster out
of the party and got out Of the trouble in
that way. The Chicago Tribune, al
though it had been enough of an organ
to abuse all of the Republicans who had
had the honesty to protest against the
interference by bayonets in
the Legislature, could not grind on in the
face of the report of two such undoubted
as Phelps and Foster, and
was forced to protest in this way: "The
party has already suffered
from the odium attaching to the Louisi
ana business far more than the party pos
session of that State can ever be worth to
it. We submit to Republican members
that they cannot afford to adjourn and
leave the gigantic Kellogg fraud on the
hands of the President to be upheld by
Federal bayonets for two years longer,
and make that an issue in the next Presi-
dental election. The President insists
that this Congress shall solve the prob
lem of giving the people of Louisiana
government of their own free choice, and
the members Of the Republican party
indorse this demand. Neither hot-head-
ed counsels nor the game of bluff will an
5wer the purpose"

EUROPE BRISTLING WITH BA YO-
NETS.

The military contributor Of the Co.
logne Gazette compares the present
strength of the German army with that
of the armies of the other leading Euro
pean powers. At the beginning of 1875
the German army consisted of 1880
officers, 1,329,600 men, 314,970 horses,
200 field guns, and $40 siege guns. Of
these the number of troops available for
service in the field within six weeks
after the mobilization is, excluding the
transport and staff corps, 710,l30 men,
with 114,S50 horses and 2,082 field guns.
These figures do not include the fourth
battalions, 9,400 officers and l52, 100 men,
formed in case of war, or the landstrum
to be raised under the new law, which
would bring into the field force, by the
lowest computation, of 3,74S officers and
2O2. 800 men. The total force at the dis
posal of Germany is, therefore, 9S,94S
officers and 1,6S4,200 men, excluding
surgeons and the hospital corps, and not
taking into account the probability that
the estimated force of the landstrum will
be greatly exceeded when in the field.
The strength of the Russian army, in
cluding the Don Cossacks, but excluding
Caucasian and Asiatic troops, is 1876 $50
men, of whom 76l 900 are available for
field service the French army, 1,098, 400
men, of whom 635,700 are available for
the field; the Austrian, S65,900, inclu-
ding 562, ,76O field troops and reserve; the
Italian, 74l,700, incluhing $4,000 field
troops and reserves, and the English,
(including militia, but excluding volun-
teers,) 28O,14O, of whom 93,969 are the
highest number available for the field
without fresh enlistments. From these
figures Germany is the first military
power in Europe. The organization Of
the territorial army" in France may ul-
timately increase the French army by
from 100000 to $4,000 men; but then
Germany will have 100000 soldiers more
than France, and by putting forth all her
strength she might obtain 100000 or
100000 more. It's also to be considered
that even if the German army were
raised to 100000 men, it would consist
almost entirely of well trained soldiers,
which in France can only be the case, as
regards the territorial reserve, in some
twenty-five years time.

OUR BOOK TABLE.

The contents of the British Quarterly Review,
Just received from the Leonard Scott Publishing
Co., Al Barclay street, New York, are as follows
I--Paparchy and Nationality.
II-Cox's History Of Greece.
III-The Adornment of st. Paul's
IV-The Bibles Place in Science of Religion.
Y-Early Christian Inscriptions in France.
VI-The Greville Memoirs.
VII-Europe and Peace.
VIII-Erasmus-h Character.
Contemporary Literature.
The foregoing list of subjects is a fresh demon
straton of the fact so often stated, that this Re-
view, in common with the others of the series
regularly republished here, aims to keep its read
erg we'll informed on all matters of public inter
est. ,,
In the first article the writer shows that the con-
troversy now waging in Germany, is deeply root
ed in the historical incompatbility of the preten
sions of the Papacy with the autonomy Of the
statep that the conflict was inevitable, and ad-
mits of no evasion or compromise; and upon
every ground of Scripture of reason of society," Of
history, and of humanity takes side with the
civil against the ecclesiastical in the strug
gle for supremacy within the State
'tThe History of Greece" bye. W. Cox, author
of "The Mythology ofthe Aryan Nations, ," receives
much commendation, especially for the discrimi-
nation between true history and mere legend. The
two volumes now published conclude the Pelopo-
nesan War.
Article ". Is best described in the writer's own
words: 'He has sought to present, in the data OF
scriptural religion great body of scientific facts
which must remain positive knowledge in the de-
partment Of religion, whatever new knowledge
may arise in physical science"
Europe and Peace" would have been more
aptly entitled Europe Preparing for war" and
for a war of terrific proportions The description
of the condition and temper Of the nations affords
little hope for the continuance Of peace.
The other articles and the extended notices Of
contemporary Literature bring more topics to the
leaders, attention than we have room to particu-
larize.

THE pace at which Australia is over
taking her elder sister of the United
States is really quite alarming. We have
dstanced her, it is true, on the road to
Imperialism, for no royal Governorin the
Australian colonies has ever dared to
dream of stretching the prerogatives of
the British crown one-halfso far as Grant
has carried the assumptions Of the Pres
idential slouched hat. 1t was slouched
hat, by the way, that Gesler wore, and
that William Tell shot at. eff this be
treason, let Senator West make the most
ofitw Australia, however, has caught up
with us on the question of royal visitors.
Almost at the very moment when King
Kalakaua landed at San Francisco from
the Sandwich Islands, King Cacambau
landed at Sydney from the FIJI Islands.
He was fetched" on Queens ship, just
as we brought our King to our shores on
a United States ship. He was enter
tanned by the Australian Aldermen as
handsomely as his Polynesian brother
potentate by the fathers of New York.
And now he has gone home again like
his Polynesian royal brother. But here
the parallel ends; for the Australians
have nothing to show for their invest
ment in an Oceanic King. The FIJI Isl
ands now make part Of the British en-
pire, and the Australians will soon be
getting back in commissions and profits
on growing export and import trade
with these interesting regions all that
they have expended upon showing the
Australian elephant to the cannibal SOW
ereign. AS for u.s. on the contrary, our
outlay upon the entertainment OF King
Kalakaua must be carried at once to the
sad account of"profit and loss" Wesay
it more in sorrow than in anger Butso
tits, and we pause to wipe away the idle
tear of helpless taxpayer.
Of our cooings and our billings
We do not now compla!n;
But our dollars and our shillings
win never come again!

While the Secretary Of the Treasury is
unable to meet current expenses, has to
borrow money to pay the interest on the
public debt, while the Committee of
Ways and Means are devising new taxes
to enable the Secretary to pay his way,
the Senate is proposing to begin now the
appropriations necessary to commence a
series of internal improvements which
are to cost. at the lowest estimate, $780,
100000. Where is the money to come
from to begin even this stupendous series
of Jobs, of which, except the improve
ment of the mouth of the Mississippi
river and perhaps one other work, every
item proposes waste of money imprac-
ticable and useless schemes?

TIE Chicago Inter- Ocean asks: "Shall
all the fruits of the war be wiped out by
fraud, intimidation and violence ?" And
the St. Louis Times answers: ut de-
pends a good deal on whether the Grant
Administration proposes to keep up its
wiping out process. AS long as it makes
intimidation, fraud and violence the
chief emblems and instruments of its
power, we must expect to see not only
the fruits of war destroyed, but the
fruits of peace also, etfectually and for
ever blighted."
