Czar's Delayed visit, Etc.
Copyright, 1880, by New York Associated
BERLIN, August 31.-The coming ses-
sion of the Reichstag is not expected to
most important measures to be intro
duced is bill which the Government is
preparing for credits to augment and
reorganize the army, in view
of the continued increase of French
and Russian ornaments. The members
of the Reichstag and the public are
being prepared for this bill by signifi.
cant articles in all the official organs
These papers are demanding an increase
of the German forces which is calculated
on the effective force that the new
French military law will enable France
to put into the field.
Several petitions have been sent to
the Government from Alsace-L Lorraine
asking that the authorities may be in
structed to mitigate the rigors OF pass
port regulations. The petitions thus far
have met with no response from the
Government.
THE CzAR's DIsCoURTEsY.
kilograms from Copenhagen represent
the King of Denmark as surprised that
his son-in-law should have so long de-
layed returning Emperor Williams visit,
and as being most anxious that this act
of courtesy should no longer be deferred.
Still after SO many disappointments the
statement that the Czar has de-
cided to come next week, meets
with a good deal of ecepticism,
even in official circles. The bitter arti-
cles of the Berlin Post and other papers
may be attributed to the annoyance
caused by these repeated delays. The
Post declares that the only way to turn
the attention of Russia from war is for
the European powers to agree to give
her free handful in Asia or the Bal
kans.
PoLEMIc DISCUSSION OF AFRICAN AFFAIRS.
There is no cessation in press polemic
of African affairs. The Vossische Zeitung,
commenting upon the appearance Of the
English blue book, says the object seems
to be to demonstrate anew, in spite Of
German indignation meetings and

House as J. McEvey, Chicago, sui

however. 1t is also stated that the gen.
tleman has been recently released from a
private asylum near Detroit.

EDISON'S WARNING.

There is a general inclination to ac- cept as sound the opinion advanced by Edison the other day, that even with all electric lines under ground, there will still be great danger from them unless the current carried by each wire is large ly reduced. A high current, he says, is bound to leak out at some points, and when the leak occurs underground, the danger will simply be transferred from the poles to the streets and even the houses. When Edison talks of electric ity he is more likely to be listened to than any other man in the country. Everybody believes that he knows all about it. He proposes a reduction of voltage on all wires, so that none shall be permitted to carry current enough to kill, and that all shall be placed under a police system of inspection and regula- tion.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES.

The Philadelphia Press announces with much pride that Mir Carnegie is about to build free library in Pittsburg to cost S750,0 Last summer Mr Carn- egie made reduction in the wages of his workmen, and the question now arises whether Mir Carnegie is giving Pittsburg free public library at his own expense or at the expense of his work men. When President Eliot, of Har- yard university announced the other day that he was opposed to the republican tariff system, the New York Tribune re torted that without that system there wouldn't have been any rich men to give endowments to Harvard. And yet if any one suggested that the existing tariff gave an unreasonable advantage to the manufacturers the Tribune would reply that manufacturing was not at al profitable, and that the philanthropio manufacturers had for years been keep ing their establishments open at great expense merely to provide the working people with employment. The reader. of the Tribune do not need g comi paper.

THE SECRET BALLOT.

Speaking of the recent election in this state the Scranton Free Press says The secret ballot, by the Australian system, proved decided success in the Connecti- cut municipal elections. Considering the novelty of the contrivance the cleo tions were conducted with remarkable smoothness and to the great satisfaction of the advocates of ballot reform. In no state in this union was ballot reform more needed than in the commonwealth of wooden nutmegs. The manufacturers of the state are nearly all republi- cans and, farther back than the present generation, it has been their custom to intimidate their workmen. Their buldozing was rendered impotent under the secret ballot system and the consequence was almost a political revolution. In many towns which have not gone democratic in twenty years decisive democratic majorities have been returned and in nearly every town in the state substantial gains have been made.
 The Free Press is a trife in error. The secret ballot in Connecticut is not the Australian system, but a more sim- pie method. The law has many defects but on the whole worked satisfactorily to the democrats.
