ENGLAND'S GLORY.
Why the Germans Are Welcomed So
Heartily.

New YORK, July 4.-Smalley's special
cablegram to the Tribune from London
says: England is aboutI TO witness an out
burst of Emperor worship on a very great
scale. Indeed, a sure indication of what is
coming next week may be found IN the
press, which, day by day, teens with long
columns of announcements for the near fu-
ture with 1.-THE programme of the German
Emper 0r's movement mostly erroneous,
and with blasts on editorial trumpeIs
in their most sonorous note. Ii
this youngster had behind him
all of his grandfather's long career and long
record OF great deeds done, his coming
could hardly be hailed more eagerly. His
record thus far is one of good intentions,
each of which he mas proclaimed to the
world with such self-assurance as the COM
plete eXecutioner OF a far wiser policy would
not excuse. Two things he has done. BE
has made an African trC atty with England
which involved some rather large surren-
ders by England, which may be the reason
why he is to be greeted here as conqueror.
He has renewed that Triple Alliance which
was the work of the great Minister whom
he insulted and banished, one of the great
est services which even Bismarck ever did
to Germany. The Emperor may dismiss his
Minister. but he is still the servant OF his
Minister'S pGllcy.
FRENCH AGGRESSIoNS IN SIAM.
Very interesting and significant. ii true, is
the news that France has crossed the border
of Siam, or of State iribatarytl Siam. She
las long cast coyetOus eve on these States
and on Siam itself. Siam is Il kingdom
which France can, if she chooses, Subdne,
but Siam Is tributary to China, and not even
the statesmen of the Paris DoulevardS can
believe that China is likely to acquiesce
cheerIully IN French conquest OF any
country in which China has an interest.
The story of the movement Of French
troops Is, of course, denied from Paris, but
such denials 90 for little.
THE FREE EDUCATION BILL.
The Free Education Bill passed through
the committee early this morning and is
now practically safe. 1t has been amended
in some useful particulars in the committee
and though 1t does not make education ELL
tirply free, is undoubtedly the most ImpOT-
tant measure relating to education since
Forster carried his great act of 1870.
OPPOSING PARNELL.
The decree of communication has once
more been pronounced against Pafnen.
The ArehbishOps and Bishops of Ireland
assembled at Maynooth, adopted resolu-
ton recording the solemn expression OF their
judgment that Parnell, by his public mis-
conduct has utterly disqualified himself to
be political leader. These Episcopal
| thunderS are not mere thunder. The
pTie>lS are refusing aDSOIullO0 aHu COM
muuiOn TO the men who, in spite of priestly
prohibition, continue TO support ParHell.
Cases of this kind are said by those who
know Ireland will be frequent Few Of
them for obvious reasons get into the
papers, but at least one IrShman under
this prieStly ban has had the courage to tell
the truth, and his statement has remained
fortnight uncontradicted.
THE FOURTH IN LONDON.
The Fourth of July was celebrated in
London, as usual. BY an afternoon party at
Cromwell House, where the American Min
lister and Mrs. Lincoln received some six
hundred guests. Cards were sent 10 all
Americans who have called on the Minister
or on Mrs Lincoln aud left their addresses.
This latter formaity is one which the
travelling American sometimes omits. The
house was handsomely decorated with flags
and flowers, and still more handsomely by
the presence OF a number of American
ladies, married and unmarried. 1t was i'll
tended 10 lave Fourth of July dinner to-
night at the Century Club. with the Ameri-
can Minister presiding, but this project was
abandoned, not unwsely.
THE NEW COPYRIGHT LAW.
President Harrisons copyright procama-
ticn Is received with only too characteristic
ungraciOuSness. Not of much use to US
after all' is the general tone. THE coudi-
tons are OuerOuS, grOanS one critic; THE
act Is intended for the protection of the
American printer" grOwls another. ignoring
the fact that the American printer was
tolerably we'll protected before. John Bull
in fact is of the opinion that he ought to be
allowed to 10 printing rs well as thinking
for 100000 Americans. He consoles him
self by believing that the books for the En-
glish market must sill be printed in Eug-
land.
