Spectator, October 10th.)


The Times correspondent in Paris repeats
on Thursday, for the second time, and with
increasing energy, that the French Govern
ment is preparing a secret treaty of alliance
and friendship with Russia. Under Article
8 Of the Constitution, the President has the
right to do this, and provided the treaty is not
financial, he is not bound to communicate the
agreement to the Chambers before. in his
judG ment, 'the interest and security of the
State permit" He can even bind himself to
go to war, though he cannot declare war with
out the previous consent of the two Chambers.
The news is interesting, if true-and it
seems certain from internal evidence that M.
de BlOwitz believes it-but we fail to see its
Importance. The President cannot go to war
at Russia's bidding, without the consent of the
Assembly, and if Russia goes to war, popular
opinion will leave him no option. Howican
any paper arrangem ent strengthen that situa-
ton? AS for clauses settling what is to hap-
pen after war, they are not worth the paper
they are written on. Each power will recede.E
when it is beaten, without thinking of its allvt
pleading force majeWre, and if victorious. each,
will take all it can without thinking ofits
ally either. Napoleon III. did not consult
English convenience.
According to the last annual report of the
Commissioner of Pensions at Washington, .
summarized in Tuesdays Times, there are now
GIG, 100 pensioners on the rolls or 1873, 600
more than at the close of the previous fiscal
year. T%he.amount paid in pensions last year
was nearly &24, 600, 1000, an advance of over
two millions beyond the previous twelve
months. Nor is this the end. The Cemmis-
sioner reports that his department is still issu-
ing "about 80, 600 certificates to new pension
ers every month, and he expects that during
the current year $4,000 claims to pensions
will be decided" At present the aPproptia-
ton for pension is over EGG, 100000, but it is
asserted thatthis will be insufficient when this
years batch of pensioners is added The COM
missioner calculates that, making full allow
ance for deaths, a further sum of Is million
dollars will be needed to meet the enlarged
pension-list." In other words, the pensions =
are in measurable distance of being ESQ, 600, 900 y
a year, or not SO very far short of double the q
interest on our National Debt. No doubt the
