The vertebrae of Central Europe, for
ages, has been the great German natian.
About the time gold was discovered in
California the youth and intellect of the
then discovered German land was re-
publican. In the first quarter of
the present century the old Holy
Alliance dominated Europe as with a
rod of iron, England was restive under
the dispcnsation, and it was the boast of
Canning, sagaeious English statesman,
that he had brought the new world in to
re.adjust the balance of the old. A new
and more malign Holy Alliance than any
heretofore recorded seems Just now to
have sprung into being, and it remains to
be seen whether the old democratic i'm
pulse prevails amongst the German peo-
pies. Never since the feudal system
came into vogue does the re.actionary
spirit appear to have been so strong as
now. Time only will tell whether this
is n purely surface indication.

THAT wisest of San Francisco journals,
the Call, after half column disquisition
about possible Presidential candidates,
says;
The situation presents itself in this
view, but there are so many possibilities
and contradictions in politics that to ven.
ture a prediction would be hazardous.
Therefore it will be prudent to remain
silent and watch the development of
events.
Now why, in the name of all the Gods
at once, didn't the CAL remain silent be-
fore it spoke? 1t would thus, to continue
the parallel, which partakes of the same
Irish bull, have been enabled to regard
itself, like the Irishman in the farce, as
discharged before it was hired, in the
role of interpreter of events political.

WHILE James G. Blaine, divorced from
all schemes of political preferment, is
pacing meditatively the banks of the
Konnebec river, poetic stream in the
State Of Maine, we notice that his
legion Of friends were never so active
MS now in advocating his pretensions to
the Presidency. Of course Mr.. Blaine
is highly offended at this departure from
his expressed wishes. Nevertheless, we
are inclined 10 think that these friends
aforesaid will show even more obttusive-
ness and indelicacy as the date ap-
proaches for the holding of the Repub-
lican National Convention, thus even
more disgusting Mr., Blaine

TnE opening note Of serious diplc-

China has been sounded by the capture
of Sontny by the French. China, If the
diplomatic outgiyings of the MARQUES

in the dissemination of lottery literature
These convictions are the first under the

MIR. II. j. Mcdonald. son of the Pre-.
mier of the Dominion of Canada, just re-
turned from Manitoba, contends that
the feeling of dissatisfaction in Manitoba
has been greatly exaggerated in the pub
lished statements. The feeling was con
fined to few attorneys and had no sig
nificance whatever The farming class
did have grievance against the rail
roads, but the reduction in rates, which
seemed likely to occur, would probably
alleviate the feeling on that score.

Derby service of porcelain, In reoeiv-

great progress accomplished in recent
years in the manufacture of porcelain.
He then referred TO the extension of the
suffrage, regarding which he said the
measure would ultimately, and he hoped
very soon, be presented to Parliament.
He had no fear of the enlargement OF
the right of suffrage, as past expert
ence had shown that the admission Of
the people to the franchise gives more
strength to the throne, and such law
would conduce to the greater union of
all classes among themselves.

Three weeks from to-day the Northern
Pacific Railroad will be open, with contnu-
GUS rail communication across the continent
from the great lakes to the waters OF the
Pacific Ocean. For years the construction of
the line has been pushed both from the East
and from the West. The gap has been stead
lily reduced until now only few miles re-
main. 1t will be finally closed on Sept g..
when the last spike is to be driven at a point
in Montana, in the valley Of the Little Black
foot, about fifty miles west OF Helena.

great transcontinental lines chartered by
Congress twenty years ago. 1t is the only

the one Just narrated. It is averred that on
the Fourth Of July all the diplomatic and
consular corps In the city OF Mexico hoisted
their colors In honor OF Americas birthday,
except the German Minister. Observing that
his Flagstaff was bare, Minister MORGAN.
according to the account sent word that this
lack OF the customary courtesy looked like
an intentional slight; whereupon the German
colors were displayed on the pole. This
report comes accompanied by certain
degree OF verifcation from the State De-
partmcnt which Its predecessors have lacked;
and it is no doubt true that some German
diplomats do not feel as enthusiastic over
the Fourth Of July as they do, for example,
over Kaiser WrLHELMs birthday or the
anniversary of Sedan. It may he added that
a nearly simultaneous rumor that President
BARRIos Of Guatemala, MeXicos neighbor,
SO grossly insulted tho British Ambassador
a short time since that that functionary re-
turned to England, has since been ques-
toned in New Orleans.
Finally. we have had swiftly-following ru-
mors that revolution had broken out in
Tamaulipas that the revolt had been crush
ed by forwarding troops by rail that CoRTI-
MA was in Queretaro with 300 insurgents;
and that "the northern States OF Mexico will
be in revolution before the year is out" Add
an Arizona story OF mutiny OF Mexican
troops in the mountains, who murdered their
officers, and another of the killing by the
Apaches Of Col. BANDoLA. the well-known
commander OF all the Mexican field forces
operating against tho Indians and 1t must
be admitted that the midsummer news from
Mexico has not been fiat or drowsy.
