veioping new industries and diveTsifying
labor in Ireland lie does not point out the
mode by Which government may encourage
new industries, and he may well be allowed
to pause at the threshold of his proposition.
English iree-trdde theories forbid any such
special fostering of industry as Ireland
needs, and her statesmen would be Mortified
at any proposition Of the kind. Indeed,
Canada and India are the oranges from
which England sucks the juice. Ireland is
not much more than dry skin now, and II

It is said Of the Indian fighter, General
MILES, that when he is heard whistling stray
tunes the company officers Immediately get
their camp kits in order for a scout. So
with our friend BISMARCK across the water
Whenever the cable is meagre of details
about his movements, then the diplomatists
look out for a startling sensation. After
u short period of quiet the famous cbancel.
lor has startled English and German politi-
clans by one of those master strokes of con-
ciliation offered to the socialistic elements
of his country. For several months past he
has had daily consultations with political
economists, mill owners, railway magnates,
university professors, aud the more moder-
ate representative socialists The result is
the announcement of measures to be brought
before the parliament which will operate
to allay popular discomfort among the
work people and to materially advance
their condition and assist them in making
life more bearable and happy. The main
idea Of the new policy seems to be the or
ganization of trade guilds, or industrial in
surance, cooperative and mutual aid socie-
ties, whose corporate funds shall be guaran-
teed and augmented by the state, member
ship being compulsory, and employers as
well as workmen being liable to assess
ments In addition to this he has already
proposed laws relative TO commerce and
manufacture MS will place Germany in the
ranks of those countries favoring pro-
tective policy. The bitterl lesson Of the five
years succeeding the payne Mt of the French
indemnity wherein the Germans witnessed
the rapid return of the two milliards OF
francs back to France, protective country,
from Germany, practically free-trade
country the latter nation selling in the
cheapest market and buying in the dearest,
while France, by reason of this policy Of
home protection aud her large sales, scarcely
felt the enormous war bounty she paid 10
her victorious enemy. BISMARCK is a states
man above nll Others in Europe, because he
learns by his own mistakes and is willing
to change when he finds out his error. OF
course lie meets with opposition. The Lon
don Spectator is amazed at BISMARCK IS
change of policy, and predicts that the pas
sage of such an act will shake the conti-
nent, if not England also, from end to
end. We hope the great German will con-
tinue in this progressive policy. The work
people will be, lie will discover, his most
earnest and valuable supporters

GENERAL NELSON A. MILES, colonel of
the Fifth infantry, as announced by us sew
eral days ago, has been appointed chief sig
nal officer. In point of nrduous service in
the late war aud on the Indian frontier, no
officer has more honestly and justly earned
his stars than General MILES. We have
followed his course on the plains with I'M
ceasng interest and thorough admiration.
He has performed the varied tasks allotted
to him with undertaking success. His
campaigns against the Indians have been
brilliant in conception and execution. We
consider him one of the first soldiers of the
republic. His private life has been spotless
in its integrity and manly christian dig
nifty. We therefore heartily welcome him
to Washington, TO whose society both he
and his beautiful and accomplished wife
will be very agreeable additions.

As Is customary with the leading ministers OF the
