THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY,

The Democratic party now pledges itself
anew to the ancient policy of the party
Ii you have been able to discover what that
is you have done better than | have. 1t
implies one thing, the assertion of what
they call State rights as against Federal
supremacy. That party stands before us
hostile to the national bank system; it
stands before us hostile to even the Incl
dental protection of American industry
it stands before us hostile even to the Fed
eral election laws; it is, in general, against
whatever good has been done or promised
With reference to the attitude of the
Democrats in regard to the employmen of
force in the support of the national gov
ernment, assert that there is not a second
of time in the year, on election day or any
other, nor is there an inch of space in this
land, before the ballot-box or anywhere
else, during which or at which the United
States government has not a right to COM
pei obedience to its laws. cloud and con-
tinued applause.) During the period that
the Democrats have had control of the
House of Representatives and the Senate,
what bill have they put through those
houses which they could use as an issue in
this campaign? Not one. The thirty
seven investigating and scavengering COM
mittee which they appointed spent $263, 600
and discovered nothing. There never was
such period of wasteful extravaganza as
that comprised by the two terms of jack
son and the one of Van Buren. For every
81 900 collected during Jackson's admins
tration there was loss of $40; during Van
Buren's time the loss was SILL; during
Grants time there was loss of Thirty four
cents on 81 600; and during Hayes three
years the loss was one third of one per cent.
(Applause.) These are Secretary Sher-
mans figures, and 1 hope there will be n
Democratic committee of Investigation to
verify them. daughter and applause.)

During the bush fires near Montreal,
Edward Roi put his mother and sister
into wagon and fled from the flames,
which overlook them on bridge. The
frightened horses upset the wagon and
ran away. Roi called upon the women
to follow him, and all three entered
three foot tunnel under the end of the
bridge. Packed in that small space they
waited. The fire passed over them, and
ignited the bridge. Happily for them,
it burned slowly, and when the fire ate
into their refuge Roi stuffed the opening
with mud. Thus they remained, the
man fighting the fire and the women
praying for dear life. They were there
five hours, but finally escaped unhurt.

According to the Times Correspondent at
Berlin the following semi. official communi.
cation is reproduced in many of the Ger
man papers.
" "A few days after the departure of the
King and Queen of Denmark, it was ru.
incurred that the leading circles here were
much satisfied at the success of this politi.
cal visit. It was then generally believed
that the Duke of Cumberland had resolved
to follow the advice of his fa~therin-law
and Of his family, and negotiations be-.
tween the Duke and the Prussian Govern
ment were in progress. Now, quite another
version is given. The King of Denmark
only declared to the Emperor that the
Duke of Cumberland was in no way willing
to resign his contested rights. His Males
ty regretted this determination on the
part Of his s~on-inlaw, as he plainly saw
the disadvantages which the Duke would
suffer; but he declared at the same time
that, for his w part, he would not try to
mediate, as such a step would be complete
ly unsuccessful. This attitude of the King
of Denmark was recognized as quite cor
rect, and was accepted with great s~atisfac.
ton by the Prussian Court
The same correspondent says that the
German leading circles are not 80 much
satisfied with the political situation as out
ward appearances seem to warrant. AL

the highest degree unsatisfactory If
the two islands were not, in regard to
their military affairs, placed precisely
on the same footing; but as we can
not suppose any uniformity in the
financial status of the two, we bring
in an undesirable foreign element,
when we use a law which is prefera-
bly, military also as a measure of
relief.
Without dwelling further on the
matter, the majority Of the committee
remark that the relations Of the islands
are SO complicated, and to form a
correct judgment on them demands
SO much knowledge of the agrcultu-
raj, financial, and social conditions of
the islands, that it is only by a power
full initiative from the side of the
Government that the foundation can
be laid of brighter times for the West
Indian Possessions. The Committee
then goes into the details of the bill,
suggesting some changes as to the
feeding and clothing of the men, and
arguing that if a man-of-war is to be
kept constantly on the station, the
number of the military force should
be reduced by Sc non-commissioned
officers and privates.
The minority of the Committee Gone
member) dwelt on the difficulty of
forming any well grounded opinions
on the affairs of these distant islands,
and therefore argued that the relation
of the islands to Denmark, as laid
down in the colonial law, ought not
to be touched except from urgent ne
cessity. The member next argued,
supporting his view by quotations from
the report of the Royal Commission
ers, that a strong military force was
not necessary, the present force, if
rightly used being quite sufficient.
He further believes that the islands,
by a suitable taxation, would be able
themselves to. bear the military ex-
penses. The thought has moreover
been forced upon him, that the neceS-
sary order on the islands could be
maintained in an equally satisfactory
and much less expensive manner if
the islands themselves found the men
wanted for their protection, partly as a
militia, partly as a police force. Not
only is a stay in the West India islands
destructive to soul and body for ma
tives of Denmark, but the natives of
the islands have self-interest as an in
ducement in maintaining order. The
economical difficulty should rather
be met by a grant under financial
law to get over the present time. On
these grounds the minority of the
Committee recommends that the law
be not furthered.

THE MILITARY BILL FOR THE
DANISH WEST INDIA
ISLANDS.

From the DQg5lad we learn that
the Committee of the Landsting ap-
pointed to consider the above bill
presented their report on the 18th of
last month. The majority..(four mem
bers) recommended the bill with GER
tain notifications while the majority
Zone member) advised that it should
not be proceeded with. The majority
agree in the fundamental idea of the
bill that all arrangements concerning
the military force should be made by
the mother country. They consider
it always to be a bad thing to give up
to a colony the fixing of its own mill
tary strength, against its providing the
necessary expenses and particularly
in tropical colonies, where peculiar
dangers may arise. "It is therefore
every governments unavoidable duty
both to uphold the authority Of the
State in such possessions, and to pro-
cure for the persons and properties Of
the burghers that security which they
have a right to expect in a civilized
community" In regard to the fnan-
cial question the majority also agree
that in taking over the authority the
Home Government should also take
over the expenses. AS to the political
question they have not thought twice,
for they regard the so-called self-gov-
eminent which the islands have en-
ioyed since 1868 to be a doubtful
boon, and one which has not always
been used in the best manner. In
fact they would have welcomed a bill
for abolishing the Colonial Law alto
gether except in regard to purely
Colonial matters.
From the remarks of the Finance
mirister in introducing the bill, as
well as from its being connected with
the report Of the Royal Commission,
it appears to the Committee that
the character of a relief measure
is given to it; but the Committee has
not dealt with it from this point of
view. "For the majority see clearly
enough that the State must interfere,
and no doubt must make great sacri-
fees to save St. Croix from ruin; but
to base the support given on the sup
position that the deficiency for st.
Croix can be set off against the former
Military expenses is the more unfor-
tunate because this supposition GER
tainly cannot apply to St. Thomas,
not to mention that it does dot even
hold good for ST. Croix itself; for
from an official report of the meeting
of the Colonial Council for St Croix
on 18th Nov. it appears that the island
Budget for next year shews a revenue
Of $14l ,807 and an expenditure of
$231.311, and therefore a deficiency
Of $89, 5O4, on which it is remarked
in the report that if the military
expenses are deducted there would
still be a deficit Of $40, 1000 and if
still further the interest guarantee to
thefactory's shareholders is deducted
the deficiency would still remain at
100000 Il would certainly be in

Prince BismarckyS attention is taken mp
with the relations with France and with
Russia. ST can state as q fact" writes the
correspondent "that, in spite Of all quiet
ing assurances circulated from st. Peters.
burg, the i.feeling between Germany and
Russia continues, and the struggle between
the Chancell0rs of the two empires still
goes on.
Gin these circumstances particular atten.
ton is paid to the development of affairs in
France. The German Government is well
aware that since the peace of Frankfort
the French leaders have but one desire
to take revenge at the first opportunity.
Even the repeated assurances OF peaceful
intentions that Comte st. Waller has
given in the name of France have been
powerless to remove the suspicious. The
German statesmen, who sincerely wish for
peace, are already satisfied that they have
succeeded in postponing the outbreak OF
a new war from year to year. For this
reason the German diplomatistS have al
ways tried to keep up as friendly an inter-
course as possible with the different French
Governments. 1t was hoped that time
would remove the national antipathies, and
that a wal might altogether be avoided.
The hope has been much shaken by the
late events which have occurred in France.
Iho now CaDlneG anu particularly INA. uo
Freycinet, is ~mistrusted, the latter being
regarded as a creature of M. Gambetta.
The German Government has expressed
it's deepest regret to the Comte st. Waller
that he intended to take his leave ; at the
same time it has plainly declared to the
French Government that NJ. Challemel-
Lacour, who was proposed as successor to
Oomte st. Waller, would not be welcome
horo For this reason tho name of M Chal.
lemel- Lacour was withdrawn almost as
soon as proposed. Finaly, with regard to
the friendly words WHICH Prince Hohenlohe
addressed to NJ. do NFreycinet on New
Years Day, it is stated here, in the best
informed circles, that in this speech the
German Ambassador acted more on his
W initiative than from any orders re.
ceiyed from Prince Bismarck. The Ger.
man Government has certainly the most
sincere desire to remain In friendly rela-
lions with France, but it is equally certain
that full confidence in the De Freycinet
Cabinet does not prevail here"
