EDITORIAL NOTES.
PRESIDENT MACMAHON's wife is a
Jealous Catholic, and, it is said, has ex-
ercised much influence in bringing about
the present crisis in France. The King
of Greece has Russian wife, and Greece
is furious against Turkey. Who shall say
woman has no influence?
GERMANY's relations with France are
evidently not of the most cordial nature.
The return of Bismarck to Berlin is IN
terpreted in Paris i'm very unfavorable
light, and every move made by the chan
cellor is now closely watched.
A TORONTO dispatch, May "a, says
The Canadian Militia, to the number of
10000, have sent offers through the gov
eminent at Ottawa to the home govern
ment volunteering to serve in any part
of the Empire they may be required in
case England becomes involved in war.
GOVERNOR ROBINSON, of New York.
vetoed an appropriation TO pay for a
frame for picture of Abraham Lincoln,
which hangs in the state library, on the
absurd ground that it was unconstitu-
tional, though he approved an appIopri-
alton to buy bust of Washington Gov
ernor Robinson is Democrat. and a
very small pattern at that.
THE corOner's jury at Rockford, Illi-
nOis, gave a verdict after eleven days of
investigation which places the response
bility upon Mr.. Gay, the architect, for
killing the nine men by the falling of the
new court house walls in that place. Mr..
Gay will probably publish a card, declar-
ing that the jury was prejudiced, and
that will be the end of it. He will con-
tinue his business probably at the old
stand, with no law to modest or make
him afraid of putting up other walls that
will fall of their own weight.
IT is announced that Secretary Evarts
is preparing letter 10 Gov Stone or
to some of the government officers in
setting forth in very decided
terms the opinion of the administration
in regard to the cowardly murder of
and his family. The let
ter will be notice TO the people of the
southern states of the position of the
President upon the question of the pro-
lection of citizens of all classes through
out the south, and it will furnish an in
depreciation of the southern policy
which does not seem to be fully under
stood there as yet.
A WRITER in the New York Graphic
claims that the victory in war depends
more on how the men are fed and cared
for than OIL how they are armed, and
holds that in this particular Russia has
the advantage of Tn: key. As to the pro-
gress OF the war the Graphic says: 1.-The
of the present war in the
east have so far developed very similar
state of things to that of the Franco
Prussian war, the Russians representing
Germany, the Turks France. There is
the same ominOus silence on the one side,
only broken by bulletins of the occupa-
ton of important strategic points; the
same noisy announcements of supposed
victories on the other side, only to be
:Ontradicted day late"
TEXAS is the strongest Democratic |
tate in ii Union. The Republican :
,anizatiOn has hardly existed therei for
eyeral years. 1t recently gave Tilden
$1,000 majority in total vote of 10000 |
n 90 counties ont of 80, there was not |
oitary vote cast for Hayes for Presi-
lent: in six counties he received only |
me, and in II counties less than 10 votes
We ought therefore to find in Texas the
ull blessings of Democratic reform :"
mt newspaper OF that party frankly |
ays: The present eXhorbitant taxes in |
,ur state are doing much to retard i'm
migration. State, county and city taxes,
when added together. take about all
nan has" So it seems that the pure
flooded white Democratic performers"
will steal about all man has, if you
i've them the power.
A WASHINGTON correspondent of the
Jew York Graphic claims to have dis
overed the reason why the extra session
f Congress was deferred. and says it
Vas owing to the fact that the adminstra-
ion had learned that the great and des-
,erate army of office seekers in the Re-
publican no less than in the Democratic
'arty, had organized vast conspiracy,
having for its object the inauguration of
