who will be the next Speaker of the
House of Representatives. Very GER
tainly each aspi-ant must speak on
questions of vital Importance to the
whole country. In their presence
Democracy and Republicanism are
alike forgotten. Men like Throck-
morton and Culberson, and the Dem
ocratic members from Tennessee and
Mississippi, will care little who may be
Speaker, if he win only assure the coz
struction of the Pacific Railway. Then,
too, their candidate for the speakership
must not, like Randall, vote for North
ern and never for Southern measures.
The friends of the Mississippi levees,
like those of the Texas and Pacific
Railroad, are resolved to press this is
sue. Hon. Randall Gibson, of Louisi-
ana, will offer resolution in the DEM
ocratic caucus declaring in favor of
the rebuilding of the leyees, and of
the completion of the Texas and Pa
cifc Railroad by the aid of the
national government. If the present
candidates. inside the party, will not
approve these measures, there may be

be disrupted and the Presidents candi-
date, Mr.. Garfield, may still be elected.

FRANC NJ. PAUL, who owned and ed
tied with Henry Watterson and Albert
Roberts the Rebel, 6ello .t3agrante, in
Chattanooga, till Sherman smashed
this and othar things to the sea, has
begun the publicsti IN of another ReJsl
at Chattanooga. Paul is an apostle Of
honest, just, fearless conservatism. He
says:
te1o-y ,.ct of the President having
for its purpose the restoration of good
government to all parts of the country,
the reform of the civil service, the
bringing about of good fellowship, and
cementing the bonds of union and
brotherhood between all the people of
all the States, shall have our cordial
appreciation. The South needs all the
good the President can bestow, and a
continuance of the liberal policy thus
far pursued by Mr.. Hayes certainly
challenges the respect, and will win
the confidence and support of her peo-
pie. We shall ever hold the perform
ance of duty and the award of exact
justice as far above mere party fealty.
We shall be as quick to condemn and
denounce anything obnoxious to just
and pure administration as to approve
that which is just and good"
The STATESMAN and every honest,
intelligent patriot of the South, loving
his country more than his party, has
given utterance to the same purpose.
Such sentiments can overspread the
whole South and never become thin,
and we are led to reflect that less of
partisanship and more patriotism are
the greatest need of the times. 1t is
new gospel but the true enc for adop-
tion by the intelligence of the South.
The disposition of the people to think
for themselves, to forget the old and
accept the new, to forget the past and
live for the present and future, grows
stronger with the diffusion of intelli-
gence and incursion of diverse popula-
tions. The more we see and read and
know, the more men from mere coun-
tries we meet, the less our isolation OF
fact and thought, the less strong our
narrow, selfish prejudices of country
and of party and the more perfect oul
cosmopolitaLism and the worthier art
we of the age and country. A Repub
lican, we may be forced to learn by
the conduct of the President, may be
honest and wise and patriotic, fscr
which few Southern people woule
have admitted six months ago and the
last of these would have been Franc

THE EASTERN WAR.

1t is singular that England manifests
keener anxiety than Prussia and Aus
tria when Russia threatens the obliter-
alton of Turkey from the map of Eu-
rope, and England Is surely in no great
er danger in Europe, and as Euro
pean fact, than Austria or Prussia, and
England's power in India is no more
endangered than that of Prussia and
Austria in Europe. Still, it seems that
Prussia only watches France intently
while great black cloud which may
burst fatally at any moment upon Aus
tria and the German Empire overshad-
ows the East. Austria must surrender
the Danube to Russia, and as willingly
as we would the mouth of the Missis-
sippi to Mexico, and yet people never
seem to think of these facts, and only
remember that England owns a msjor-
ity of the stock in the Suez canal, and
that the security of England's East In
dian possessions is threatened by the
advance of Russian armies towards
Persia and Hindoostan. The opinion
seems to obtain in England that wal
for India would cost more than
India is worth. British troops
can only be transferred te
the remote seat of war at enormous
cost, and John Bull is accustomed to
contemplate war purely as a CONNER
cisl transaction. 1t is also true that
England is no longer warlike in
strength, habits or tastes. British
armies are weak and inefficient in ma.
terials and organization. Officers buy
places and weakness is dominant from
corporal to the general-In-chlef,
Rationslly enough there are members
of Lord Beaconsfeld's cabinet who
oppose participation, on any terms, in
the war In the East, and it seems that
large majority in parliament concur

certainly, as We contemplate the
immense resources of Russia and
Its comparatively easy routes of access
to the scene of hostilities, it would bt
sheer folly and madness for England
to enter the lists alone. II France and
Germany stand aloof, England viii
also remain at peace. From NJ
quarter Of Europe do we discover tn,
slightest symptom of any purposes en-
tertained by any leading power to Co
operate with England. The growing
of the Great Bear near the north sta
has ulenced the stars that sang to

pales its Intellectual fires. Just now tn,
prospect for worldwide war is dimmeC
by the wise policy of England, which

be added, as . clear loss, the British
possessions in the East.

Editorial Notes.

A Constantinople letter tells us that
the present queen of the harep is new,
and a new love is strong; but it never
retains the Sultan in his harem beyond
the hour of his habitual appearance in
the imperial study. BY 10 o'clock IN
the morning, clad in fur-lined anteri,
the Sultan takes his place in the cheer.-

palace which he has made his own--e

and green velvet, its only adornments

hung on the walls, the busts OF his
father and uncle, and the portraits OF
his father and grandfather. The first

twice week he invites some members

A sHBEwD observer has said that the
impressions a foreigner forms of this
country depe1d to some extent upon
what kind OF a government he has
been used to, but in a far greater de-
gree upon the position he held socially
and politically in that government.
Those coming here from the lower or
peasant classes Of almost any part of
the world will find many advantages
that are elsewhere denied them. Ia a
very short time they are permitted TO
enjoy all the rights and privileges of
the oldest citizens, and of course they
cannot look with other than admiring
eyes upon country that is so condu-
GIVE to their welfare and happiness.
On the other hand, those coming from
the higher or educated classes find
themselves at once reduced to the
level of plebeians, and are naturally dis
gusted to see that education and re-
fnement count for comparatively little
in country where sharpness in bar
gaining and money-making constitute
a chief, if not the chief element OF sue
cess, and the longer they remain here,
while they may find much to admire
the more things they will see to con-
demn, and very justly, too. But we
are not equaled by any country in the
world for bribery and political corrup-
tion, and the Japaneee was not far
wrong when he adjudged US to be
among the most backward of nations
in governmental progress and reform.
1t is really shameful the way we allow
ourselves to be led about by the noses
by dishonest and disrepu.able politi-
clans. Men that would be disgrace
to any community are elected and ap-
pointed to offices of the highest re-
sponsibility, while honest men, who
refuse to sell themselves to political
mobs, are nearly always defeated if ever
they attempt to stand for an office.
Any man with little talent, plenty of
trickery and pocketful of money may
foist himself into almost any position
he chooses, and if any ones dares to
stand up and propose scheme of i'm
provement he is Immediately Kissed
down by one class, who are so ignor-
ant that they don't know what good
manners are, and by another class who
have prostituted whatever talents they
may have had to greedy and unscrupu-
lous ends. We all know these things
are so; and we deserve to have a set of
knaves administer our laws for US, be -
cause we cling with such death grip
to these old forms and parties with
which savages would consider them
selves disgraced by having any con
nection.

The opposition of Conkling to the
President does not turn upon the
Presidents liberal policy but upon the
point that Conkling and Evarts are the
two great roaring lions of Republican
ism in the State of New York. The
forest is not broad enough to contain
two such monsters, and one or the
other must migrate. The President
struck Conkling a terrible blow when
he made Evarts Secretary of State.
Conkllng will hardly conceal his rage
when his strongest passion, his vanity,
is wounded. 1t is sorely wounded by
the advancement of his scholarly
rival.
