LONDON, Oct 25--Cardinal Manning says
the Pope has shown thorough willingness to
meet Prince Bsmarck's advances-and those
of the German government everywhere, so
far as he could do so consistently with the
principles Of the church, which have been
very literally construed Cardinal Manning
believes that Price Bismarck is much more
inclined to be friendly to Rome than he has
heretofore been, and that he will accede TO
any measures likely to result in peaceful
arrangement of the differences
BERLIN Oct A-The rupture between the
Vatican and Cardinal Hohenlohe is com
plete The cardinal will probably remain in
Germany during the winter. The National
Zeitung hears that the cardinals sudden de
parture from Rome was owing to the failure
of his request for the removal of the coadju-
tor in the diocese of Albanoa with whom he
had every reason to-be dissatisfied, and to
pecuniary troubles She same paper thinks
the association of his departure with pecu-
MARY troubles isl gross misrepresentation as
the cardinal has never been spendthrift.

Tho Nevada ColIcctorship.

There is great grief In Nevada over
4 the loss of collectorship. A collector
has very little to do In Nevada, and OF
there were only about 10000 people In
that state at the last census, and the
population has diminished since,
| the administration found it en-
tirely feasible to have California
man run over the border occasionally
and attend to the business. But Ne
vada feels sighted in consequence and
send indignant protests to Washing
ton. She is very sensitive on such
points. There are dissatisfaction when
the last river and harbor bill that was
passed omitted TO contain any provis-
ions for that state. Its representative
in congress was severely censured, but
he defended himself by pointing to the
fact that there was neither n river nor
a harbor of any description within the
boundaries of the state; that he had
hunted diligently for something which
might resemble one, but in vain. He
promised his constituents, however,
that he would try to make things
even in the public building line.
Whether he has or not we are able to
say.
Nevada really has no ground for
complaint. Her $4,000 or 10000 in
habitants get more from the national
government than any other equal
number of people in the United States.
They have two senators and one rep
resentative in congress, whereas they
are entitled to only about n third of a
representative and, at q liberal esti-
mate, tenth of one senator. They
have also United States district
Judge, marshal, clerk, etc., for pop
ulation one-tenth that Sf the city of
st. Louis. Each one of its citizens has
100 times as much power in the senate
as citizen of New York, with COM
parative certainty of the disproportion
being increased as the year pass. The
decline in the yield of the bonanza
mines means a gradual departure of
the people to more favored regions.
Probably the most lucrative employ
ment that remains TO the citizens of
Nevada at present is the election of
United States senator and representa-
tives. Take that away together with
the money expended by the United
States officials, and the state would be
literally starved out of existence. So
long as wealthy citizens of San Fran
cisco retain the fashionable desire to
decorate and amuse themselves with
senatorships there is no danger Of an
utter collapse of the commonwealth.
The form Of state government can be
sustained on their account alone.
The merging of Nevada into Cali
fornia internal revenue district sug-
gests strongly the propriety of merg-
ing the whole state into California, or,
what is betten turning it into terri
tory again. 1t. was an oversight in
the trainers OF the constitution not to
provide for the extinction of rotten
states, SO to speak. Nevada is not
only shrinking in population, but it is
growing fearfully demolalized on gen
eral principles. Within the last few
years it has actually turned democrat
ic. But, OF course, it is liable to change
to anything that the San Francisco
senatorship-seeker willing to pay the
biggest price desires. The best thing
for state of this description to do in
the present instance is to keep quiet.
