AETER RORTY YEARS.

A unique figure in Europe is the sovereign
whose fortieth anniversary Of his succession to
the throne is celebrated to-day. During the
long reign. which opened in the revolutionary
crisis of 1913. Francis Joseph has experienced
extraordinary vicissitudes of fortune, and dis
played singular dexterity in adapting himself
to new ideas and conditions. The Revolution
left his Empire rent in twain with the authority
Of the Crown sustained in Hungary by Russian
bayonets. No reign ever had more inau-
spiciOus opening than his; and as time went
on his embarrassments and misfOrtuneS multi
Piled In his campaign with Napoleon III he
lost great part of his Italian inheritance. Then
Prince Bismarck entrapped him into war
with Denmark as foolish as it wicked
and Sadowa, with the loss of his remaining
Italian province and the downfall Of Austrian
ascendancy in Germany, filled his cup of hui
initiation to the brim. Adversely made sue
cessful and statesmanlike politician out of an
Indifferent monarch His defeats in 1866 com
PEELED him to look about him and to rCorganize
his kingdom. The famous compromise, by
which the Dual system was brought in, fol-
lowed in the next year. From that moment
his power and influence have steadily increased
The Empire has been raised to a position of
the first rank in Europe Even its tenit oria
losses in Italy have been retrieved by the ac-
QUESTION of new provinces in the Balkan.
Austria Hungary is confederacy of nation
alities speaking as many as seventeen Ian
guages and arifcially grouped so as to form
two monarchical States with the same SOver-
eign and joint administration Of foreignsand
military affairs. The Dual system was Mag
var conception worked out by Saxon diplo-
matist. 1t was established with an implied
understanding that the Magyars were to gov
ern One-haf and the Germans the other half
Of the Empire. In Hungary the Magyars have
remained the dominant race but in Austria
proper, or Cisleithania, the Germans have lost
their political supremacy over the Slavs. In
bohemia the popular movement in favor Of
separate Czech monarchy has continued to
make Roadway and even in Galica the Poles
are discontented because their nationality is
not acknowledged on the same conditions as in
Hungary. The rivalry between races has never
ceased; yet the Empire has been nyigorated
and consolidated since the compromise Of
1857. Every province has enjoyed undisputed
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1888-12-02

privileges Of home rule and local administra-
ton. Every race, so far as has been prac-
ticable. has been allowed to govern itself.
Only a sovereign with broad and tolerant
mind could have succeeded in adapting him
self TO these anomalous conditions Of race con-
Aict and national aspirations. That Francis Jo-
seph is endowed with the mental characteristics
requisite for the difficult work which he has
done the interesting biographical sketch print
ed on another page fully attests. To elasticity
in administrative methods and practical sa-
gacity in the disccrnmcnt Of political forces he
has added in1exible purpose and original ca
pacitv for affairs. His will is supreme in di-
plomacy and administration in every crisis. If
the rival claims of Cabinets. nations and races
cannot be reconciIed he is allowed to have his
own way. Both Hungary and Austria looked
coldly upon the occupation Of Bosnia, but he
had made a secret compact with Russia and he
carried it out, with rival races in his Empire
pulling in opposite directions Repeatedly he
has been called upon to intervene in the Cab
met crises of both monarchies, and to declare
his own preferences and to enforce his policy
without reference to Parliamentary maJontes.
He has kept Cabinets in Office in opposition to
tho will of the Legislature, and has made the
most arbitrary and unexpected changes in pub
lie policy Having exhausted the resources of
absoutism he has tried one compromise after
another in the hope of conciliating the con-
hictng interests of nationalities and races.
monarch he has become in theory
and practice. yet in politics and diplomacy his
own will must often be the supreme force in
the State.

TOLSTOTS RELIGIOUS VIEWS.

ArhdeacOn Farrar writes in an interesting
way in the December Forum Of the religious
views of Count Tolstoi. 1t is useful thing
TO have such opinions examined in the clear
white light of thoroughly sane intelligence,
that is governed at the same time by firm be-
lief and deep reverence. Count Tolstois ex-
travagances are not on the side of doubt. lie
exhibits on the contrary, a childlike capacity
Of belief But it is none the less true that his
opinions, once generally adopted in good faith,
would dcaden almost all Of those ambitions
in which mankind have found the motive
spower Of progress. The inevitable result would
be an era Of retrogresSion, and in time the de-
struction of civilization itself. Count Tostoi
cobbling the shoes Of his peasants is not a spec
tace to be admired from any point of view,
though we must respect the sincerity of his
motives. Count TolStOi employing all the
powers Of his genius, his wealth and his social
position to introduce reforms into the govern
mcnt Of his country, in consequence of which
every man who now cobbes shoes might have
larger share OF political rights so that in time
he could earn more money, and his children
might be better clothed, better fed and better
educated. might leave behind him the name of
a great benefactOr. But Count TolstOi's throw
ing aside all the advantages which have come
to him by birth and effort, and which might
be used as so many powerful weapons for the
advancement. Of the masses and governing his
life by Enthusiastically literal applications OF
Scripture precepts is only to be pitied, as we
pity the Eastern fanatic who holds his arm

clined to take the bull by the horns and arrest
them for conspiracy before he has to arrest
them for murder. These facts remind us OF
tho Intellectual attempt recently made in this
city to punish John Most for his vilanous
speeches. He was promptly convicted and
sentenced, but he got off on bail under one of
those enemies to justice termed stay" and
he has been stayed ever since. Emerson, the
polcy-shop keeper recently got a stay. The
public is getting tired of this staying business.

Il WIS demonstrated at Cleveland on Thursday

1t was demonstrated at Cleveland on Thursday
that the raccoon is warrior whose prowess is
not TO be underratcd. A member OF that pluclly
family was pitted against twenty -four-pound
bull terrier who was feeling frst-rate, and was
confident that he could lay cut his adversary in
twenty minutes The coon acted on the defensive,
and the terrier went in for all he was worth.
Sixteen minutes later the terrier had changed his
mind, the coon in the meantime having reposed
on his back and Gercely bit the pup on his head
and neck 1t is doubtful if the terrier ever
joyed the Thanksgiving festival little for it is
stated that at the end of the sixteenth minute
the dogs owner gave up the fight Now, If
the coon would only proceed TO bite large chunks
out of the brutes that arranged for the fight, his
record would be still more brilliant
December has come in, but the duel between
Blackburn and RuclScr remains unfought Hence

A dispatch to THE TRIBUNE from CORE
spondent who has been making careful III
quiries into election methods in Virginia throws
a flood Of light upon the way in which that
state was carried for Cleveland. That Vir-
ginia is rightfully Republican State is proved
by the fact that in spite Of the devious tricks
resorted to by the BourbOns, Democratic plu-
rality of only l $50 has been declared by the
Board of State Canvassers. Had there been
an untrammeed vote the Republican plurality
must have been overwhelming.
