cd, but he lacked the energy, the integrity, and the insight of Stein.
 More than all, the princes of the Holy Ali ance were afraid of the intense earnestnesS of Stein Aristocrat as he was by birth and ed'l- cation. they looked upon him with distrust be- cause of the very work he had done for them. Now that the Revolution was crushed. the most they feared was the Counter Revolution. They had permitted Stein to appeal to the peo- pie against Napoleon, and now they feared the people almost as much as Napoleon. From 1915 to 1880, the whole history of Europe is one of reaction. The parliament Frederick William had promised his people in the fervor arising from the anti-Napoleonic struggle, was postponed and evaded.
 Stein was not the man for such counsels. He hated everything French, good or bad but the stupidity of mere reaction found no fa- vor with man who saw clearly that the only sure preventive of revoluti was reform. The remainder of his life was spent in the quiet avocations of a country gentleman. He sur- vived, indeed, to see with curious distrnst the expulsion of the elder line of Bourbons from the throne of France in 1880 but the only posi- tion Prussia found for the ablest statesman of his time, during the last sixteen years of his life, was that of Marshal or presiding officer of the Estates of Westphalia. In this connect ion Prof. Seeley tellsseveral anecdotes illustra- tive of the mans masterful ways. His hotel keeper, who was member of the assembly, came to him for advice as to his duties. "You are to sit still" said Stein, land listen to what wiser people have to say"
 Once Deputy came to the Marshal and applied for permission, which was required by rule, to read written address on some ques- be short. Deputy.-I will try to he as short as I can. stein.-And do say something clev. CT. till now have heard nothing from you but nonsense.
 Stein died In 1884, In reading his history we cannot but wonder at his great power and possibilities, and at the gross neglect of man so highly endowed, and who had proved him. self so capable of doing great things for Ger many. We often see republics accused of neglecting their great men and promoting me- diocrities. Certainly no republic was ever guilty of grosser misconduct of this kind than that of despotic Prussia towards the greatest statesman she has ever produced.

we repuUllSu OH our OutSiuc paScS dH cA- cellent article from Harper's Weekly showing the impropriety (to use the least offensive possible word) of giving ones political con- science over to the keeping of political con- ventions. The false position usually taken is that any candidate of your own party is pref erable to any candidate of the other party. As in the case of Cornell. for instance-a man eonfessedly offensive to all reform Republicans the Tribune assumes that it is the duty of all good Republicans to yield to the decision of the convention. The Weekly shows con 1 clusively, on the other hand, that the only way l to put a stop to such nominations is to bolt them. @' SENATORIAL NOMINATION.. learn that MT. Frank A. Case, of Barkhamsted, was nominated, yesterday, by the Democrats of | this District. In the Seventeenth Dist, Mr. E. w. Spur will probably be nominated by the Republicans; and Geo. W.
