BISMARCKS RETIREMENT.

A seemingly authentic report comes
from Berlin that Bismarck has resigned
The immediate and Ostensible cause
alleged is a difference with the young
emperor concerning factory inspectors
The actual primary foundation cause is
a difference Of opinion in regard to the
general policy that should be pursued by
the imperial government. There have
apparently been also some personal diff
fcrences and irritations that have has
tened the break. The man accustomed
to be deferred to by an aged and tried
ruler did not readily submit to dictation
from young and inexperienced en-
peror.
The retirement Of Bismarck sig
nifies a good deal The common opinion
has ever been that his was the brain that
devised the policy which recreated the
German empire. and his the will which
carried out that policy. What viii be
the result Of his retirement and the COM
hitting of the destinies of the empire to
new bands: 1t is common saving that
there is no one III the world who can not
be spared. This may possibly be COR
rect. It's correctness or incorrectness
can not be positively demonstrated
There have been men who. as far as we
know, could not have been spared. Had
Frederick the Great died. who else could
have made Prussia a power in Europe
and laid the foundations on which has
been established the German empire :?
There has been but one Homer. one
Dante. one Shakespeare. Had they never
grown TO manhood, who else could have
given the world what they did: Can
any loval American help rejoicing that
this country was not fated TO take the
chances of getting along without Wash
iugton, Lincoln or Grant: So every
German. proud OF the greatness of his
fatherland, must shrink from the thought
of what might have been had not Bis

DR.. MGLYNN ON LANDLORISM.

From the y. y. Star.
Cooper union was crowded last night
with members of the Anti-Poverty so
ciety and other friends and admirers of
DR.. McGlynn. who chose for the subject
of his lecture, st. Patrick versus Land
lOrdiSm. In his address he showed that
the teachings of the Anti-POverty society
on the land question are the same which
were sanctioned by st. Patrick and APP
proved by the church in Ireland for
more than a thousand years.
In continuing Dir. McGlynn said: Ire
land has been 50 VIGOROUSLY oppressed
by the system of landlordism that the
freshman entertains great deal Of hatred
for the landlord The Irish with all
their failings, have always shown two
striking features in their character.
The one is the right of man to hold
firmly his religious belief. despite perse-
cution. and the other is the right of all
to share in the land, without which all
nationality IS mOckery."
The lecturer then told of St Patrick
calling a council together. composed OF
the learned men of the time. and com
piling a code of laws. on which the pres
ent English common law is based. and in
which was included a provision that the
land belonged to the people in common.
and the leading feature of which was the
hostility to what Is now known as land
lordism.
Referring to the land system of Ireland
in St Patrick time. he said: The lands
belonged to the commune, the original
owners. and were appOrtiOned among
the individuals composing the commune.
The arrangement related solely TO land.
which was created for the use of man.
and did not affect the products of each
mans industry. which were his property.
and st his own disposal. In the anceint
Irish land system there was no tenancy
As we understand the word: there We're
no rentals to landlords. no evictions. and
none of the powers claimed under the
landlordism today.
The lecturer went on to show that St
Patrick effected his reforms without
bloodshed and used only sound argU-
ments. while today the reforms for Ire
land are supported by a useless waste Of
of time and legislation. he predicted,
however. that success would be achieved
in freeing Ireland from the curse of land
lordism and showed how the land had
been stolen from the people by the early
Norman invaders Of the country. He
warmly eulogized Michael Davitt. who.
he said. followed II. PatricE's example
Of filling the role OF an apostle of truth
rather than that Of a politician.
Dr. NcGlynn intimated during his lee
ture that he hopes in the near future 10
visit England and Ireland on a lecture
tour. He had an enthusiastic reception
q the close of his lecture. and was pre-
sartad with . floral trnnhX i've fe..f hil.l

CHINESE N TIE CENSUS.

A bill was passed by the house Of epre-
sentatives day or two ago calculated
and intended to facilitate the more
thorough enforcement of the anti-chinese
act. 1t provides that the census takers
are not only to count the Chinese, but
they also are to make out an exact des-
cription of each one-giving the color of
eyes and hair, the shade of complexion,
the shape of nose, the height. weight,
size around the chest and length of
queue.
Then to each Chinaman is to be given
a certificate containing a copy of this
description and everything else necessary
to his Identification. And these certifi-
Gates shall be the sole evidence of the
bearers right to be in this country,
All who are caught without them viii
be summary shipped to China or sent to
New Jersey. Severe penalties are pre-
scribed for the sale or transfer in any
manner of these certificates.
For the enforcement Of this provision
there will be no need Of fine and rare ex-
perts in Chinese description. There viii
be a call for those who can distinguish
between the different shades Of yellow
in the oriental complexion and the
different degrees or black IN the oriental
hair and eyes. and who can detect the
differing expressions on the oriental
cOuntenance:

viii no doubt be smart enough to take
the cue contained in the act and con-
form their actions and presence here to

other measure. They are excluded, by
law, from coming here, but they con-
tinue to appear in undated numbers and
regularity. and when once here their
presence is settled.

a POINT ON THE CORN QUESTION
From the GIobe-Democrat.

| FROM the Gl0be-Democrat.
In a recent interview. Senator Allison
! point out curious and suggestive fact
with regard to the freight charges as a
factor in the corn problem. Corn is now
worth from 10c to 12c a bIlshel less in
| Iowa, for instance, than it was a year
| ago; but the difference between the prices
OF last year and this year in Liverpool is
only &c. The railroad freight rate from
! Iowa TO the Atlantic seaboard Is no high
er than it was last year-not quite so high,
IN fact, and vet it costs considerably more
| to transport corn to Liverpool. In other
words. the ocean freight rate has been
materially advanced. and the value of
corn in Liverpool has diminished accord
ingiy. The British ship-Owners have
levied a tribute upon the American pro-
ducerS of corn to that extent, and the
latter are powerless to help themselves.
They are practically at the mercy of the
foreign capitalists who control the steam
ship lines, so far as exports are concerned.
Their own country does not provide the
vessels for taking their products to Eu-
rOpean markets. With an American
merchant marine of proper capacity,
there would be competition. and an
eXactiOn of this kind could not be perpe-
trated.
Here is q direct and practical argument
in favor OF reasonable protection to the
home shipping interest We need more
vessels TO carry our surplus grain across
the Atlantic-vessels built and navigated
by our own people. and carrying our own
flag They are TO be had only through
the assistance of the government. The
ocean carrying trade is so conditioned
that such help is indispensable if we
would secure our due share Of it. Other
nations grant liberal bounties to encOur-
age this important agency Of commerce,
while we neglect TO profit by their eX-
ample. The result Is that when our
farmers have corn to send to Liverpool
they must pay such price for transport
tatiOn as the British ship owners see
fit to impose. which in this case
represents Sc to Zoe per bushel. It
Is not a question OF benetitting the few,
but Of serving the interests of the many.
The farmer in Iowa who never saw a
ship in his life. has q positive advantage
TO gain by the construction of American
vessels to carry American products to
foreign ports. No matter what the de
mand in Europe may be for the things
which he has to sell. it is worth nothing
to him so long as the cost of taking those
things abroad is fixed by the foreign
steamship monopolists. We must have
ships of our own to put in rivalry with
those of other countries before we can
export grain with satisfactory results
The Republican party is pledged to
generous policy in that respect; and to no
other party can the farmers look for such
service, or for any service calculated to
enlarge the market for their surplus.
