How are the mighty fallen. When
most of the readers of Tue NATIONAL
TRIBUNE began to take an interest in
public affairs, the Government of China
was the haughtiest, the most exclusive
and aristocratic in the whole world. It's
treatment of all foreign Nations was
insuaerably insolent. They were
officially designated as vassals, who were
only permitted to exist through the
gracious mercy of the Emperor-the
august Son of Heaven. Foreign Minis
tiers could only be admitted to
the imperial presence with degrad-
ing ceremonies, such as repeatedly lying
fiat in the slow progress from the portals
of the palace, declarations that they
were unworthy the great honor of be-
holding and speaking with the Son of
Heaven, and knocking the head Oh the
floor to emphasize these declarations.
1t took several invasions by the French
and English to knock little sense into
the Chinese heads. They made a
grudging concession that other Nations
were their equals, and allowed their
Ministers to meet and address the
Emperor as they would a civilized
sovereign. But the supercilious esti-
mate Of foreign countries was not
altered, scarcely concealed, and every
Nation that had dealings with China
had to be in IN almost constant state of
bluff, with naval force close at hand.
Now this arrogant Government of 400,-
100000 of people is found to be con-
temptibly weak old paralytic, with less
real strength than one of the more
insignificant Nations of Europe.
Portugal, with her 100000 quite
ignorant people, would have made a
better showing than this boastful
Government of hundreds of millions of
people and history which was old be-
fore the birth of Christ.

THE wheels of the threatened revo-
luton in Alabama wouldn't go round.
They wouldn't even start. As a talker
and a threatener, Mr.. Kolb is regular
13-jewels, with a cylinder escapement
He ranks along with Waite, Coxey, Alt
geld, and Debs. But when it comes to
lining up for fight, he isn't a peanut to
a pumpkin. He was blufed clear out
side the limits Of the game. He couldn't
qualify as fighter even among the
Chinese. Col. Oates inaugural address
was picturesque in its humor. He adj
mitted that there had been a great deal
of fraud on both sides, but Oh his side
this was rendered necessary by the
"ruthless ambition of one man." who
had wickedly wanted to be Governor
instead of himself. He thereupon took
the oath of Office, reverently kissing the
Bible tenderly treasured in the archives
because of having been kissed by jeff
Davis when inaugurated in the same
place President Of the so-called Southern
Confeieracy.

PENSION granting in the Southern
States is not suffering from the paraly-
sis which affects that at Washington
The report of the Florida Pension Agent
for August announces the granting Of
five invalid pensions at 800 a year and
II widows pensions at $3.50 a year for
that month. Considering the small
number Of troops that Florida had in
the rebel army, this is a larger allow
ance than the average Of the Pension
Bureau. There were only 81, 865 whites
in Florida in 1860. IF we assume that
one man was sent into the rebel army
for every eight white people, this would
make total of 10,233 troops furnished
the rebel army. An allowance Of FIVE
invalids and If widows a month would
be total Of 228 a year, and as this is
now nearly 30 years since the war closed,
the rate would indicate that nearly every
man that Florida sent out is being rep
resented on her pension-roll.

THE English papers constantly COM
plain that the language we speak and
write in this country is not English, but
new tongue. Why not accept their
Judgment, and cease calling our speech
by that name? Why not b" the Ameri-
can language or the United
States language y? There are nearly
twice as many people on this continent
to-day who speak this tongue as there are
in the whole world beside. Figures show
this conclusively. There are 100000
people in the United States, and 7,000,-
600 in British America, or 100000
in all. In the British Isles there are
100000, and in the British posses
sions in Oceanica 100000 more, or
100000 altogether. The American
people are thinking, writing, discovering,
and creating in every way much more
than twice as much as their congeners
elsewhere, and it is but natural that
they should dominate in the common
speech, and in time give their name to

Gov. FLOWER has fine opportunity
to initiate Gov. Altgeld, by restoring a
number of prominent Tammanyites from
the cherries seclusion of the penitentiary
to the warmth and light of the New York
dives they formerly adorned. Probably
he will not, though. Gov. Flower may
have his faults, but he is an American
citizen at heart, and has a profound re-
spect for the verdict of juries and judg-
ments of courts of justice.

GRESHAM did not get. through ex-
planning his Hawaiian blunder until he
had to make apologies and explanations
for his Nicaraguan impolicy, and before
the ink was dry on these he had to de-
fend his indefensible letter insulting the
japanese as to the Chinese war, and
while that was still fresh in mind, he was
summoned to the bar of public opinion
to answer as to why he ordered two
japanese youths, alleged to be spies, and
who had taken refuge in an American
Consulate, to be turned over to the
Chinese, who put them to death with
horrible tortures Gresham's time seems
to be thoroughly taken up with barking
his diplomatic shins against everything
he meets, and in rubbing arnica on his
hurts.

gained 1857 votes.
