on Sunday, will be more important poiiticai
event than the ndecIsive canvass III PRUSSIA
The constituencies have been enlarged by the
reduction of the property qualification anu
the adoption of scheme of educational SUI
frage, and, moreover, the new elections are W
be conducted under a modified form OF the
Scrutin de Liste. Tho lists voted tor by the
electors will not be so large as those devised by
NJ Gambetta for the French departments.
Each conscriptOn will return small number
of members on the Belgian plan, and minority
representation will be secured on the English
principle of three-cornered constituencies,
Electors voting for four deputies in districts
where Eve are to be chosen. These changes
in the electoral qualifications and provisions
will render this canvass notable in the history
of Italian politics. The Premier has appealed
to the country under the most favorable circum-
stances. The unpopular grist tax has been
abolished electoral reform has been elected,
the balance has been transferred to the right
side of the national balance-sheet, the debt has
been reduced, public credit has been improved
and great schemes Of internal Improvement
have been carried out. These are positive
achievements which seem to justify the conn
dence of the Liberals in facing the enlarged
constituencies
1t would not be safe, however, TO assume
that the introduction of this new system Will
materially modify the relations OF the groups
in the Italian Chamber. The Right and the
Radicals may lose a score or two of seats, and
the main body of the Liberals may acquire a
clear majority over all other factions. But SO
sweeping victory is not expected even by
the most sanguine leaders. The Scrutln de
Liste, being applied to comparatively small
conscriptions, will probably prove less OF
political advantage than It's advocates have
predicted. The groups will not disappear and
the Ministry of the day will remain mt the
mercy of minority factions. Nor is any per-
manent change likely to appear so long as the
genuine Conservatives abstain from voting.
The members of the Right are only Liberals in
disguise So long as the Italian Catholics who
look to the Vatican for political policy re-
fuse to take any part in public affairs, the Lib
erals will virtually have the field to them
selves and consequently will break up into
fuctiOns

TIE CITY TICKET

The action of the Republican County Con-
ventiOn is mOOn-struck madness. 1t might
have nominated ticket of its own. and
claimed that at least it was thus doing some
thing to help the State ticket. Or 1t might
have revised the work Of the Citizens Com
mittee, approving the good names, SUBSTITUTE
ing better ones for any that seem doubtful,
and then going before the people with fair
chance OK securing for us good local govern
ment
1t has done neither the one nor the other.
Instead il has approved the whole OF the Citi-
zens ticket good and doubtful alike, with
the single exception OF the one name on 1t
chat every body agreed in regarding as the
best. Every Judge, having business at the
County Clerks Office, without distinction OF
party, had declared in favor of the reelection
of County Clerk Butler as the best man they
had ever known there This name the Repub-
licans reject from the Citizens ticket and
substitute for it that OF johnny OBrien J!
Could the force of blind folly further go Z
What malign fate pursues the machine that
in this unluckiest of canvasses every step Its
engineers take should be worse than the last
The whole business of getting ticket on
which all good citizens could unite against the
Democratic union tor plumber has been badly
totched. 1t is pity that there should have
been false start, followed by bad blood, and
iueycusable abuse. 1t is pity that any can
didate should have been active i'll it, so that
the enemy could say he was in favor OF Re-
form In order to get Office, and took pay rs he
went along. 1t is a thousand pities if there
should be the slightest ground for the reports
that another, a pushing lawyer, took the labor
ing oar in making up the Committee to nom
mate Allan Campbell, in order That the latter,
in turn, might nominate him for Corporation
Counsel. 1t is not by such aid that Reform
ticket il to be commended to public confidence.
But in spite CT such drawbacks, the ticket
is in the main good one,-faT, Indeed, above
the average. Mr.. Campbell is certainly as
good man as Mr. Edison. The latter has John
Kelly and MI Tammauy behind him to be sat
isied-all the United Democracy in fact
while Mr.. Campbell has only Mayor Grace, (who
saws he wants nothinR.) and two or three
hungry Republicans. Thus the balance clearly
incliues in Mr. Campbelfs favor. The
nominee for Sheriff is excellent. OF one
o. the nominees for Judge and of two
for Coroner the same may be safely said.
The outcome is not so good as we hoped. but t
is better than we are used to; and it is
shame that the only contribution of the Re-
publicans should tend TO make il worse.

TILE E[/ZI Use.

Last winter. when the State Department was set
in motion under Mr. Frellnghuysen, with no ap-
parent pocy except to what his predecessor
had done il was given out with ostentatioL
that Mr. Brame's decision in the zzl case, III re-
gard TO the ri shts of ma uralized citizens, 10 be
summarIy set aside. The papers that serve and
wait on the Administration were very severe In
their denunciauons of Mr.. B.aine's letter of in
slruction on the subject. and one of them in this
city made 1t the occasion not only of personal
abuse, but of learned inqusIton the whole ques-
ton OF naturalization.
1t must now ne rather notifying to these wise
organs OF public opinion to find that after
baton OF many months Mr. Frelinghuysen decides
10 stand by every position assumed 10y DIR. Blaine.
In fact Mr. Freughuyscn publishes rather weak
paraphrase of Mr. B.aines paper on the subject, not
differing from its practical conclusions by a hairs
breadth. We have waited TO see what the wise CEN
sors of Mr.. Blaine year ago would now have to
say for themselves It is quite evident that they
consider silence their safest course. frank
knowledgment of their error would seem more
ma unanimous and honorable.

FACTION POLIJICS ABROAD.


The relations of the political factions in the
Prussian Landtag have rot been changed by
the recent elections. The extremes of the
Chamber have made slight gazing at the expense
of the moderate Liberals and advanced Con-
servatIyes, but the Centre, or Catholic party,
has met with no losses. The consequence is
that no party can muster majority in the
Chamber, and that Prince Bismarck finding
himself thwarted by factions will have another
opportunity for sneering at doctrinalre lead
ers and the deplorable pursuit of party politics.
Even if the Ministers of the Crown were re-
sponslble to the Landtag in the same sense in
which British Ministry is responsible TO the
Commons, they could not depend upon the
political support of stable majority. As
matters stand they regard the Crown rs the
sole source of official responsibility and from
the facility with which the parliamentary
groups can be managed they affect to ignore
the moral responsibility OF the Landtag alto
gether. Every election affords new evidence
of political disntegratiOn. The parties do not
seem to have any national ends in view. The
lines OF division between groups are vague,
and no faction seems to represent popular
demand or yell -defned political issue. 1t Is
this inherenkwant of cearness which renders
the politics of tho Fatherland 20 perDlezing
study. not Only to foreigners, but to the Ger
mans themselves.

Scenery of the Columbia.

If the Upper Columbia is barren
beauty to lovers of picturesque scenery,
the passage of the river from the Dal-
les to Vancouver, through the heart of
the Cascade Mountains, is a panorama
of magnificent pictures. The grand
towering peak of Mount Hood, its icy
slopes and glaciers glistening in the
sun, pierces the blue vault over the
southern horizon. Our gaze constantly
returns to his hoary summit. and We
find ourselves silently worshipping,
overpowered with sense of littleness
in contemplating his enormous bulk.
The Columbia, at the Cascades, mar
rowed to half its width, dashes down
the rapids in a rush of wild waters, re-
sembling in manner the rapids OF Nj
agara. The river approaches the lip of
the cataract as Ylacid and calm as a
lake, its surface dotted here and there
with many tufted rocky islet. Our
steamboat approaches at full speed, and
swings around to her mornings with the
greatest confidence, while a few hun
dred yards below the angry water is
flashing its rocky shores and leaping
high over the submerged rocks. The
government is building locks on the
Oregon side to enable steamboats, to
pass up to the Dalles.
AS we pass up and down the river in
the early part of May, the scene is a
succession of grand and lovely sur
prises. The cottonwoods along the
shores have just donned their spring
vesture of tender green; the delicate
quaking aspens stand in groups and
fringes, their round leaves quivering
with the ightest breath of air. Above,
the forests Of pines and frs with SOM
bre foliage fill the ravines, and stand
boldly out on every peak and crag. The
tops Of the precipitous cliffs are lost in
the feecy clouds, while CLEANS of sun
shine here and there bring out with
vivid whiteness the snow still lingering
on the northern slopes. Crystal cas-
cades come leaping boldly over the lip,
of some towering cliff, or thread the
face of the dark basaltic rock with lines
of inlaid silver.
In autumn months, when frost has
lighted the flame of the naples on the
hills, the red and golden hues are.
blended by the smoke and haze Of In
dian summer, in dreamy contrast to the
blackness of the pines. We are subdued
by beauty; our hearts are full, but our
lips are silent. We long for the magic
brush OF Turner to transfer this beau
ty to our own possession. The views
through the highlands of the Columbia
can not be effaced from the memory ;.
the chambers of the imagination are
haunted by their shapes, and the heart
swells with rapture and conteuS1nent
that the sense of perfect beauty has
been fully gratifed. Cleveland Rock
