NETWORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, AUGUST H. 1885,

scrbed few months ago in Berlin corresponds
ence of THE TRIBUTE. The Countess during
the closing years of Emperor William ] was
in some sense a rival of the English Grown
Princess. Her salon was frequented by Ger
man princes, statesmen and generals who
were hostile to everything English, from po-
!itica constitution to throat-surgery. When
the Crown Princess received her daughter-in-
law, The present Empress, coldly, Countess
Waldcrsee made her the central figure OF her
coteric, and thereby won the friendship of the
young Prince who is now Emperor. Count
Wadersee was his most intimate friend during
the period of his arrangement from his Eng
lish mother; and naturally when tho Crown
Princess became an Empress her sons conf
Dental adviser was relieved from duty at the
capital and banshed to Vienna. The opening
of the new reign witnesses the return Of the
Wadersees in triumph to Berlin and tho APP
poinment of the Count to the highest military
post. This promotion seems to be the fulfil
ment of the prediction Of the Berlin gossips
that the American Mary Lea would be the
power behind The throne.
William II affects to initiate his grandfather
in all things. He has made his intimate per-
sona friend, Count Won Waldersee, Field
Marshal and he has shown so marked prefer
ence for the society and counsel OF Count Her
bert Bismarck as to leave little doubt respect
ing Prince Bismarck's successor as Chancellor
of the Empire. The two great offices of the
Empire will be filed in time by two Of his most
trusted friends. This was what happened when
Cr,noror William, aecpndnd tho throne
Motkc and Bismarck were not then men OF
the first rank either in arms or in diplomacy
but they were the sovcreign's intimate friends,
and they were elevated at once to the highest
positions in the kingdom.

covered. Perhaps. had everybody done all oil
his duty, the westbound express might have
been saved. Yet the forward brakeman hur-
ried off to signal il, and that he was TOO late
does not seem to have been due to any tardi-
ness on his part. The Erie Company has spent
great deal Of money improving its roadoed
recently On the whole, the accident appears
to have been unavoidable, but on this account
none the less distressing and deplorable.
Two novel and interesting points OF law
were presented to Justice Patterson yesterday
on a motion for the stay of the sentence against
tho murderer, Daniel Lyons. Last year law
was passed requiring in capital cases direct
appeal from the trial court TO the Court OF
Appeals. After the law went into operation
LYONS was tried and convicted. anc the direct
appeal was taken 1t was decided adversely
Ia the convict. and he was resentenced by the
Recorder. 1t is now contended that the act
requiring an immediate appeal was null and
void. since il undertook to abrogate one OF the
constitutonally imposed duties of the Supreme
Court, and that the Recorder had no authority
to resentence the prisoner. 1t is proper TO
have these questions decided once for all,
though their settlement in Lyons's favor, which
seems altogether unlikely, could scarcely do
more for him than to postpone the day of
retribution.
That was undoubtedly wonderful game OF
baseball which the Giants played with the Chi
cago team yesterday. The unsatisfactory con-
dition in which the score was left by the fall
of night and the conclusion of thirteen innings
is somewhat compensated for by the fact that
the local players so narrowly escaped defeat
The Chicago club came here full of fight, des-
perate and eager. The Giants were somewhat
stated with honors humor which is full of
peril. In averting the disaster which seemed
inevitable at the close of the eighth inning they
did a brilliant bit Of work. Public interest
in to-day's game will be much heightened by
reason of yesterdays dramatic and inconclusive
play and the Giants should feel, as we dare
say they do, that local concern and pride are
deeply involved in the way they acquit them
selves. The Chicago men and their admirers
have been noisy of late in prorhesyins the
Giants demolition, and they should be re-
sisted with such spirit that, if thew make good
their word, they will be entitled to more credit
than they ever earned before.

it is always hard 10 get such work done, except

THE RONDHOLDERS OF THE
UNITED STATES.

The bondholders OF the United States have
always opersted in conjunction with the
bondholders of Europe. The injustice OF
their present demand that silver shall be de-
monetized is aggravated by the fact that
they have been most literally treated by the
United States. They bought bonds when
the country was in peril at great discount
say, so per cent. less than their par value
in gold. The bonds originally issued were
payable in lawful money called greenbacks,
interests payable in coin. With these same
sreenbacks the United States paid its SOL
diers and those who furnished supplies and
Congress, in March. 1869, passed an act de.
claring that these bends were payable in
coin. Men with any sense Of justice would
have been satisfied to be paid in coin when
the contract could have been discharged
with gIeenbacks, without asking for the de-
structon of one half Of the world money.
On July "a, 1870, the act under which the
entire debt Of the United States was founded
was passed. That act provided that the
bonds issued hereunder shall be payable in
coin OF the then standard value-that is, of
the standard value of July IL, 1870. The
standard value of the coins then in existence
was regarded by law, ass grains Of stan
dard gold, or 4I2H grains of standard silver
constitute dollar. The silver necessary to
make a silver dollar was at premium of 3
per cent. at that time, the American ratio
being 10 to /, and the ratio of the balance
Of the world was regulated by the French
mint, which fixed it at I51a toI This pre-
miam prevailed until long after the passage
of the act OF 1873 demonetizing silver.
After the passage of the act emitting the
silver dollar from the list of coins the bond.
holders commended that their bonds were
payable in gold alone. To meet this pre-
tense both Houses OF Congress, in January,
1875, by a vote of nearly three fourthS in
each House, declared that the bonds of the
United States, according to the contract be-
tween the bondholders and the Government,
were payable in either gold or silver coin.
Notwithstanding this the Treasury Depart
ment has at all times assumed that the |
bonds were payable in gold alone, and con.
stantly complained that silver coin was &C
cumulating in the vaults of the Treasury and
that the people were refusing to take it. If
silver is really cheaper than gold it is the
duty of the Secret airy to pay the bonds in
that metal; in other words, it is his duty to
save fer the United States all he legally can.
He has no right to donate the peoples
money. The bondholders have no reason to
complain. They obtained their bonds with
money at a discount of 50 per cent. The
partiality of the Treasury Department in
paying them in gold alone has raised the
bonds to premium Of from IS to 80 per
cent. in gold, which, added to the discount,
gives them a profit on the money invested,
in addition to interest, of at least IS cents
on the dollar Nm NJ Steuayt.

SOME weeks ago, We made an estimate,
roughly, of the amount of money that was
going out Of the State every month, for Lit
tie and Big Lou isiana Lottery tickets. The
Reno Journal thought the estimate was very
much too high, and estimated that about
$4,000 only was sent out of Virginia City.
Now the GArsnislr says. that local dealers in
that City estimate that about $40, 900 or
sI2, 900 leave there,every month. It's safe
to say that if the dealers admit that this
much is invested that really three. times this
much is sent away. The dealers are not
evet anxious to haven't known. we believe,
.how.much really does GO out.
