BIsMARCK,s FALSE TRIUMPH.

There is a disposition, particularly among
the admirers of the old Chancellor, to take
the outbreak of French feeling against the
visit of the Empress Frederick, as a vindi-
cation OF Bismarck's policy as opposed to
that of the Emperor. 1t might be correct to
claim that it shows his estimate of the en-
during character of the French hatred for
Germany, to be the most accurate; but 1t
does not follow that his policy of adding
fuel to the flame, by maintaining an mimi
cal attitude for Germany, is either the rosiest
or most enlightened. Whatever triumph
there is for Bismarck in the affair must sub
sist on the appeal to international enmity
among the Germans.
When all the results of the visit of the
Emperor's mother are summed mp. they are
that an effort has been made to establish
good feeling on the German side and that it
has been rejected in a manner discreditable
to France. To view that rejection as deroga-
tory to the position of the Emperor is a very
medieval view. There may have been a
time when the rules of diplomacy we're so
crude and savage that it was deemed an ex-
peace, or subjected power to contempt be-
cause it made an effort to allay the tenden-
cies toward war. Granting that Bismarck
had clearer view than the young Kaiser, of
the enduring nature of the French hatred
which Bismarck's own policy did so much
to keep alive, the effort to hold out an
olive branch leaves Germany in better
position. 1t is better in the highest view of
craftsmanship because the Kaiser has made
an attempt toward peace; it is better in the
merely selfish view, because. even if Ger
many did not desire peace, it has put the
quarrel in a shape that alienates the sym
pathy of Europe from France.
Beyond doubt the grim Chancellor Is an
older and wiser statesman than the impul-
sive young Emperor; but when the impulses
of the latter, and, in this case, the advice
and efforts of his mother, lead him to adopt
a more generous policy than that of blood
aud iron, civilization will give him credit
for it.

Asiatic Idea of Justice.

The opposition offered by Ria Pasha and
others of the hgherofficials to judicial reform
in Egypt is usually set down in this country to
corrupt motives, writes a contributor in the
Spectator. They want brlbes, it is said. for
protecting unworthy suitors, or they desire the
opportunity of depressing their enemies, or
their dependents enemies, through the agency
of the police. The charge is probably true in
part, most Orientals desiring irregular rewards,
just as Bacon did. and thirsting for irregular
power and the abject Difference and sense of
authority which irregular power speedily pro-
duces: but they could, If they were perfectly
articuiate. make better defense for them
selves than Englishmen imagine defense.
roo in which the suitors before them would
cordially concur. There are just Asiatics as
well as unjust, though they are usually few.
and Asiatics, too whom no man could brIbe;
and as they and their suppliants would resist
Mr.. Scotts reforms as stiffly as their corrupt
compatriots, 1t may be Of some interest to'a
few observers Of human nature to state the
reasons why. The popular notion that Asiatics
do not care for justice, or even positively dis
like it, is, of course, without foundation. The
approval OF Justice is almost as instructive as
the idea of difference between right and
wrong and an Asiatic submits more humbly to
a just sentence than European. The agent
of God, he thinks, has found him OUT, which it
was his especial business in this world to do,
and which is evidence, among other things OF
the reality of his commission, and vindictive.
ness on that account would be only a new crime
Ian idea asserted by English gaolkeepers TO
be also entertained by the convicts in their
charge.
The idea that an AsiatIc does not desire a
lust decision on the merits of the case as be-
tween plaintiff and defendant OF accuser and
accused, Is utterly without foundation. The
only differences in that respect between the
races are that the Asiatic is nos convinced of
the inherent equality of men, holding that the
great and those invested with sanctity ought to
have some favor shown them, and that as re-
CARDS fitting punishments, he belongs to the
fifteenth century, and would hare no kind Of

A Matrimonial Lottery.

| Most people. says an English exchange. have
| heard of the offer made by Pearson's Weekly

of the matrimonial lottery which was adver-
tised as "A Prize of Wife and Hundred a

| (who, it seems, are a young couple themselves).
| never doubted that their power of selection
from among the applicants would result in pre-

young lady. There, by Mr.. Pearson's account,
| they succeeded. From among bureau
| full of photographs and testimonials they
| picked out several who were to present them
selves for personal inspection, fares paid. From
| among these select few. sorted out as by an

tanned at tea by her mother in one of the
| suburbs of London. Pints of tea and pounds
of cake were thus consumed. Still the suitors
came: but the right man came NOT, and seemed
never likely to come. After weeks of inter-
viewing and rejecting by the chosen lady, and
an expenditure of large sums in travelling ex-
penses. Mr.. Pearson was obliged to withdraw
the offer. and admit that his novel form of
matrimonial agency had proved failure.
II am not at all disappointed" MIR. Pearson
says, because am satisfied that we made an
excellent choice of wife-in fact, too excellent
a one for our scheme. The young lady Is SO
thoroughly sensible and self-respecting that she
would not throw herself at the first, nor indeed
the twentieth eligible man that offered himself,
even for the sake of fl00 year. In fact, she is
so good that no husband is good enough for
her"
But think of the waste in tea and cake and
fares, and trampled hearts and futrered nerves!
Think of the wear and tear IN feelings! Picture
that doleful procession of lonely Anglo
Indians EN- queue past that subur-
ban villa-dream of that terrace in
Surbiton avenue of Brixton black with re-
jected parsons! 1t is not encouraging for Cen
eral Booths Matrimonial Bureau. Butperhaps
the General will treas his young ladies more
cavalierly, and after a certain number of swains
have been reviewed without effect will come
down in the "Do what you're told and don't ar

nonsense: Take three more tries, and Just suit
yOurSelf!'
