The conference report on the Sundry

ated $500, 600 for the work, of which

dollar of this amount, as stated by Mr..
Wheeler yesterday, is bound up in con-

But the report provides that all con-
tracts for work or materials not now
needed shall be rescinded, and the loss

tary of the Interior and paid out of the

ages are paid under this scheme there
will remain scarcely enough of the

sHERMAN,s START.

Candidate SHERMAN is making a very
fair start in his presidential campaign
ing. The voice from Oregon which was
heard in his favor is being re-echoed in
Ohio, and the delegates from that state
will go to the convention wearing the
SHERMAN collar. But a few delegates
do not bring about presidential nomi-
nation any more than does one swallow
make summer.
Candidate JOHN will have to do some
extremely lively huStling to double the
number, and even then he will BIZ
good many votes behind in the race.
For the keynote which SHERMAN has
struck in the Ohio convention is hardly
one that will meet with harmonious re-
spouse from the other states.
He, or rather his direct representa-
tive. harps again upon the war and its
issues, the interminable war which the
present generation is willing to admit
occurred quarter of a century ago, and
which it is disposed to relegate to the
past, where it belongs, but which the
Shermanites evidently think took place
but yesterday, and must be now revived
lest the people delude themselves with
the belief that the country is dwelling
together once more in unity.

THE GROWN PRINCE.

Now that the Emperor FREDERICK's
recovery is hopeless, the eyes OF the
civilized world are directed toward the
young man who is to succeed him on the
German throne. FREDERICK WILLIAM
VICTOR ALBERT, crown prince OF Ger
many, is just tWenty-nine years of age,
and is true Hohenzollern. Although
an educated soldier, the young man has
never had his baptism OF fire similar to
that which the son of NAPOLEON Ill.
experienced in front of Saarbrucken.
Having been educated to arms, and de-
scending. as he does, from an ancestry
of warriors, it is but natural that the
young prince, who is soon to be at the
head of the greatest empire on earth,
should be filled with martial ardOr. His
father, whose life is slowly but surely
ebbing away, is essentially a man of
peace. His military ambition was salts
fed in the war against France, and the
peculiarly sad circumstances attending
his succession to the throne gave as
surance that his reign, whether long or
brief, would be one of peace.
But the conditions which surrounded
FREDERICK S elevation to the throne are
lust the reverse of those that will sur
round future emperors' elevation. And
that is why feeling of anxiety, accom-
panied with no little nervousness, per-
vades Europe to-day. 1t is morally GER
tain that the crown prince will ascend
the throne burning with an ambition to
win military glory and to carve for him.
self the fame enjoyed by FREDERICK
the Great and his late grandfather, the il
lustrious WILHELM. He is above all
things a soldier, and now makes the
army the subject of earnest and enthu-
siastic study. He was educated more
with reference to the duties of soldier
than to the demands which will be made
upon him as statesman. When quit
ting the military school he made a
speech to the cadets in which he said:
Il will remain true to the spirit of this
corps until the end of my life" And
he will.
With warlike emperor once more OH
the German throne, and one, too, in the
vigor of youth and fired with zeal for
military distinction, it is not difficult to
foretell "Germany's attitude toward
European affairs during his reign. The
feeling of apprehension which prevails
throughout Europe at the prospect ofan
immediate change in the German policy
is we'll founded. With WILLIAM AL
BERT on the German throne, and BoU-
LANCER in charge of the French gov
eminent, the promise is fair for quite
lively racket over Oh the other side of
the big water.
