THRONES AND THEIR OCCUPANTS.

The German Emperors visit to England, with
all its attendant pOmp and circumstance, Is
properly regarded as giving " boom" to royal
tv. Doubtless it had other objects some OF
which should be ranked before this one. Eng
lands sympathy and understanding with the
triple league for peace were to be shown anew
to the world and personal ties between the
Guelphs and HohenzOllems were to be cultivat-
cd and strengthened. But beside these con-
sideratons there can be no doubt that the En-
peror was eager to faunt the flag of monarchy
anew in the face Of the growing democracy OF
Europe, and, by an elaborate succession OF pop
Mar and official demonstrations, to show how
strong the principle of personal and dynastic
rule still is Nor was this an unworthy ambi-
ton. False as the monarchical principle seems
RI MS there are millions who believe in II un-
ouestoningy. and no one cherishes that faith
more earnestly than the Young ruler who has
mt himself forward as the most conspicuous
! and energetic impeISonatOr of that principle.
| Even in bad cause zeal must be admired; as
we must admire the vigor with which William
IT continues to enunciate and to practise the
obsoescent doctrine of the divine right of kings.
There has. indeed been a considerable re-
|
and 1871. and despite the steady growth of
! republican ideas. the thrones of Europe are
probahlv more secue to-day-for to-day-than
at any other time in the last twenty years That
this fact proceeds from any real strengthening
of monarchy, or from any general growth Of
popular devotion to if, however. is not to be
believed. The thrones are more secure than
they were. not because their foundation is more
stable. but because for the time being there is
some slack enng of the attacks made upon them.
And this latter circumstance arises not from
anv increased love for the thrones themselves.
but merely from a recognition of the practical
utility of their temporary occupants. There is
no proof. for example, that German devotion
to the house Of IIohenzolen is deepening; but
only that the people see in their young En-
peror an active energetic man of affairs a real
executive not a mere hgmehead. lie may

not lie in contempt as King Log. So with
Uumbert lie has shown the traditional strength
and courage. both as soldier and civilian. of the
house of Savoy, and has held with tactful
hand the rens Of real authority over his vari-
Gus Cabinets. The people appreciate these
personal qualities and are loyal to him per
sonally, but probably care not a whit more for
the dynasty he represents. The Emperor OF
Austria has retained the regard Of his hetero-
ceneous subjects by a discreet exercise of con
cession and a really remarkable power of dis
corning and taking advantage OF the drift Of
popular sentiment. Hence Francis Joseph is a
name to coniure with from the CaIpathians to

THE san DOMINGO TREATY.

The text of the third Reciprocity Treaty ne
gotiated by the Administration appears uhiS
morning. The convention with Santo domingo
follows the general lines OF the treaties WIN
Brazil and the Spanish West indies ana Is
highly favorable to the development OF the
American export trade. The free list includes
\ large number of food products, coal, various
iron manufactures, machinery, humber, wood
manufactures and other articles. reoucuon
of % per cent is conceded on meats, outter'
fish. fruits, vegetables, all manufactures OF IRON
that are not free, cotton goods, boots ana SHOES,
naper and other manufactures These marKeu
advantages will enable American manufacturers
IN control the import trade Of the republic ana
n double the exports from the United states
Tho imnorts from the American market re-
ceived mainly in exchange for sugar now ex-
coed S1.OOO00O. The commercial privileges
acquired by treaty will be worth so much more
TO the export trade if the proper degree oi
mercantile energy be displayed g,
This is a point which cannot be emphasized
nnduy. Reciprocity with Southern countries
ia worth much. but it is not everything. 1t
supplies favorable openings for the export trade
Init Il does not take the place of mercantile
intelligence and enterprise. The Administr =
tion by its treaties with Brazil the Spanish
West Indies and Santo Domingo, has placed a
large premium upon the export trade. Inc
button has been pressed, but the manufacturers
and merchants must do the rest. They must
study the requirements of the Southern mar
kets, make such patterns and styles as are
needed and at prices which will defy foreign
mretition. American merchants and manu-
facturers are now under pressing obligations to
show what they can do to enlarge the Nations
foreign trade The conditions are all in their
favor. The way for them to sell their goods
abroad is 10 put their minds upon the trade and
70 compete in dead earnest with foreign rivals.

The condition Of the streets is worse than it
should he, even in view Of the extensive laying
Of pavementS and the change in motive power
on the street railways Whenever complaint II
made to the public officials they reply that If
citizens wish to have new pavemcnts they must
bear the incidental discOmforts Of having the
streets torn up and traffic delayed. The answer,
however, is not a sufficient one for the work
throughout the city is slowly carried on the paving
blocks allowed to lie for weeks on the side
walks, the old pavements are torn up long before
the new ones can be laid, and the improvements
are made without any regard TO the necessities OF
traffic while the work is in progress The burst
ing of pipes and other dangers to street travel
which are not incident to the laying of pave
ments continue to annoy citizens, and complaints
are disregarded by the public officials or sneered
at as unfoundcd and captious. The necessity of
public improvements is great enough, but they
might be carried on at much less cost TO the
natience and time of the public.

Yesterday being the first day of August was
celebrated by the Swiss in all parts Of the
world. and nowhere more heartily than right
here in New-York, as the six hundredth birth
day of the republic. 1t is not, however, until
the first week of next month that the principal
festivities in connection with the event will
take place in this city. Six centuries have
passed away since representatives OF the three
senior Cantons, SchWytz, UTi and Unterwald,
met and formed the alliance or " Bund" which
was the foundation of the most ancient OF
the existing republics All of the latter, and
that of the United States in particular will
gladly avail themselves of the present ami
yersary TO express sympathy, goodwill and
congl atuations to that little sister of the Alps
who has been their example and their guide,
and who has held aloft in the darkest periods
of monarchica tyranny and oppression the gori-
Gus beacon. Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.
