The Wave of disqualification that Is Sweep
ing Over Europe-The Spectre Of Social
ism.
Cor. New York Herald.
London, july 16, 1s7s.-The rumor that
after the eastern business has been settled
blythe congress the socialist question will be
discussed, increases the interest with which
the meeting of the plenipotentiaries is re-
garded, especially if the assertion be true
that London is the headquarters of the So
cialists, and that on the Monday following
the attempted assassination the foreign off
ice in Berlin received letter, posted in
London the Saturday before, warming them
that the emperor and, il possible Prince
Bismarck would be assassinated on the very
day that the attempt was made There is
without doubt. great perturbation among the
reigning families in Europe, who feal them
selves helpless against the terrible peril that
may surround them, and know not whose
turn may come next. At any moment in
some back room, in an obscure London
street, hand may be dipped into ballot
box and the fatal lot drawn forth which con-
signs some other high parsonage to death.
THE WAVE OF SOCIAL DISTURBANCE.

one cultivated country to another, especial

present social arrangements the case is the
same, and if, as may be feared, this current

of its reaching England.
socialist CENTRES.
An idea which, under peculiar circum-
stances, obtained the mastery over the Sec
ond city of Europe may again bring about
strange results. The dispersion of the Par
isian communists, many Of whom, notwith-
standing the atrocities Of which their fellows
are guilty, are we'll meaning enthusiasts,
has created 80 many centres of fpropagandism.
The German socialist is even more deter
mined and, if the expression may be permit
ted, practical in his aims. A feeling which
affects at one and the same time con-
siderable numbers Of men in the American
cities, in Russsa, in Copenhagen and in Ber-
lin can scarcely be regarded as only pass
ing delusion.
IN BERLIN.
In the last named city there is, indeed,
mob which has more than once shown how
ugly such mob could bs, and We have
long since been persuaded, and have more
than once expressed the belief, that nowhere
in the world are the elements of::disturbance
go threatening and compact as In Berlin.
Paris sets people thinking again at the time
of the commune; but we are too apt to forget
that nearly all great cities contain the ele-
ments of riot as desperate as any that
history has recorded. Never has the
contrast between wealth and poverty or
between its results to the individual, been
more striking than in our time. This spec

found in Germany to-day may brood upon
until they may be ready to make dash for
the property denied to them, if only to re.

IN FRANCE.
Perhaps France is on the whole least like
~ to be troubled in the near future; as
certainly it now appears, in spite Of the
heavy taxation, to be most content Of all
continental countries. Now that the rural
voters, who are anything rather than revo-

interest in political matters, check may at
any moment be put upon the extravagance
Of agitation in Paris, Lyons or Marseilles.
IN ENGLAND.
