He Says the Devil of Destruction Is Old
and Defends the Irish People.
New York Herald. Jan. 80
Mr.. Talmage talked of dynamite TO q large
and apprecietive audience last evening. He
said: "All Christendom is shaking with the
dynamite egue. People talk rs though
murder on large scale and particularly of
officials was novelty, snd that this species
OF night shade was unknown to the present
generation. The recent explosions in West
minister Hall and the House of Commons
was q very mild attempt as compared
with the Guy Fawkes dastardy, and far back
In the line of English, French and Russian
Kings it was the exception when one of
them died in his bed. The devil of deshuc-
ton is On old devil. Call it what you will,
socialism or anything else, sometimes it
shows itself by throwing vitrol In the face
by crashing a csrt-wheel against a carriage
by shooting down q President, or sometimes
by attempting 10 blow up a Parliament
House. Toe philosophy of the whole matter
lie, that large numbers of people, who by
their crime or by being lazy own nothing,
are mad at those who by their wit and en-
ergy are in possession of large resources.
The honest laboring classes have never had
anything to do with these crimes.
And as on the same night in Washington
they attempt the life OF Lincoln, johnson,
Seward or Stanton, or on the same Saturday
in London, when innocen. women and chill
dren are enjoying the great sights in the
House OF Commons, the desperadoes attempt
Wholesale m assacre. As yet the authors of
the recent outrages against the House of Par
Lament are unknown, but on groundless
suspicion 5000 Irishmen in England are
turned out of employment. Such unfair
measures will never stamp dynamite with
harmlessness. There is not an honest Irish
man on either side Of the seas who favors
the acts which took place last Saturday in
London. When the shattered House of
Commons shall be repaired and her ma
tional Legislature with Gained pulses assem-
bled, they can in one week, by useful enact
ment do more by careful study of the Irish
difficulty than can ever be obtained by this
excited expulsion. Let the darts OF Justice
fly, but let them strike the right mark.

How They Vote in Germany.

Northern budget.
A striking feature OF the German NUM-
cipal system is It's entire independence Of
national politics. Noissues but those aris-
ing out OF municipal questions are allow
ed to influence the city elections. Every
male inhahitant twenty.iour years OF age
Inns right to vote On municipal questions,
provided that .he has his own household
and is not dependent on father or mother;
that he has not received aims from the
public funds within twelve years; that he
has paid all municipal dues; that he occu-
pics house or pursues trade with two
employees; that he pays an income tax or
a class tax. Under one or another OF
these five conditions all industrious
persons in the city are included.
That all votes should count equally is
regarded as unbusiness.like. The ar
rangement adopted to meet this point OF
view is this: Voters are divided into
three classes, each OF which elects one
third OF the City Council. To the first
class are assigned so many OF the largest
taxpayers as pay one-third Of the taxes
assessed; to the second as many as in the
aggregate paythe second third fthe taxes !;
to the third class belong all not included
in the first and second. Each OF the three
classes elects forty-two members OF the
Council, its influence upon questions Of
finance being kept in strict equality with
its tax payments. The City Council Of
Berlin has long been conspicuous for the
educational and financial standing oil its
members. Election to 1t Is accounted an
honor to which the ablest men in the city
aspire.

Nearly nine months have passed since
General Duval resigned his commission
as Internal Revenue Collector for West
Virginia. He did not resign because
he desired to BIO relieved Of the du-
ties OF his Office. He offered his resigna-
ton to assert his manhood. The Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue, fierce
Arthur man, had given General Duval to
understand in plain terms that he was IN
debted to President Arthur Tor contlnu-
ance in office, and that he was expected to
show his gratitude by his works.
The district conventions and the State
conventions were drawing near; there
was determined effort to rig the conyen-
tons for Arthur, and SO important part
Of the machinery as Collectors Office
was not to be overlooked. General Duval
was not willing to hold under the Com
missioner's terms; hence his resignation
Some very animated correspondence
was exchanged, in the course oil
which the Commissioner declared
that he never had intended to
intimate TO General Duval that he was
e.nectel to use his office for the Presi-
dent or to give him his personal service.
The administration had been caught and
was squirming. 1t wouldn't do to let the
Republican party know, or have reason to
believe, that the administration was
cracking the lash over ofice-holders to
whip them in. To show that there was
no such intention in General Duval's
case. his resignation was not accepted. II
was generally understood that its accept
auce would be left to President Cleve-
land. General Duval expected to go out
when Cleveland went in, and with this in
view he has been shaping his private af-
fairs.
1t appears, therefore, that until now
both the administration and the collector
have regarded the letter of resignation as
dead. Any public reason that may exist
now for roviying the resignation aud act
ing on it has existed through nine months
past. It is idle to look for reasons OF pub
lie policy in this disgusting proceeding.
There are no such reasons. The admins
tratiou wanted to visit some kind OF pun
ishment upon General Duval for his indie
pence and to give some reward to Mr..
Mccormick for his Intellectual efforts to
render service.
So far as General Duval is concerned,
it probably makes little difference whether
he goes out in January or in March. lie
expects to go, and had intended to step
out gracefully when his successor might
come along. But West Virginia Repub-
lcans are likely to regard the Presidents
action us in effect the removal of General
Duval for failure to perform personal SER
yice-execution Of the sentence passed
upon him nine months ago. President
Arthurhasdoncm many good things. Hehas
done none smaller or less expedient
than this. He ought to have allowed
General Duyal to remain until his Demo
cratic successor was appointed. He ought
not to have nominated a man Of Mr.. Nc
