Tho AspIrInr Negro .

From the Richmond Dispatch.
The protests OF the negro at the New
York .Chautauqua ought 10 render Mr.
Millers delinoations OF negro character
more popular than ever. These delinea.
tions are, Ia fact, 80 true to nature that
evon the Northern people can perceive
for themselves that Mr. Miller represents
the plantation negro as he was We
venture to say that Mr. Miller Is a truer
friend Of the negro than these Chau-
tauqua proteaters, aud we are sure that
II the negro needed a service he would
sooner expect to receive IL from Mr.
Miller than from any Northern man.
whether the latter WAS engaged as the
the ChAutauQua negroes were engaged
or not Look at the negroes OF Virginia
say W0y do they not settle in New
York; Why is 10 that the negro will
work for $40 a month in Richmond
rather than for $50 month Ia New
York, though the latter city is onlv ten
hours distant from the former Why,
indeedi IL Is because he recognizes in
the southern man a friend-one who
treats him as friend 80 long as he keeps
his placs-and fnds that the northern
people treat him with absolute contempt
Stay 10 Nsw York city a week. and you
vi ; be bonnd 20 admit that Polk Miller
and the people whom be represents are

LIT him do what he will, he will ind In
the end as Fred Douglass found, that
bis children are nothing but negroes
and can, therefore, not be lifted to the

these as facts. They ought, however TO

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
TwsutT-avs Years After sedan.

From the London Saturday Review
Few people could have imagined,
when the TreRty Of Frankford was
signed in May. 1871, that France and
Germany would keep the peace for q
quarter OF a century On all sides II was
taken for granted that IL was only a
truce which had been arranged, aud that
the French would never rest, or turn
their thoughts for moment 10 any
thing else, until they had avenged the
cstestrophes aud humiliations Of 1870 II #,
and regained the lost provinces Of
Alsaoe and Lorraine. This was, indeed,
what the French pledged themselves to
do. and what the Germans universally
expected that they would attempt to do
Yet twenty five years have gone by, and
men In both lands are serving with the
colors who were not born when Grave
lotte was fought, and still no
shot has been fred. During ali
this time Europe has been forced
incsssantly to take account Of the
standing quarrel between the two great
powers The knowledge that France
would fly at Gsrmany's throat as soon as
It geemed safe to do SO, has been a
permanent factor ia all international
barg ainiugs and controversies; the terror
tha. some unt0ward accident mighp
prscipitate the always threatened conflict,
even against the desires and best iudg-
ment Of tne oOmbatants, has never ceased
TO haunt the imaginations OF men. II
this prolonged anxlety has strained the
nerves OF onlookers. what must have
been the tension upon the peoples
directly concerned2 Statistics afford some
slight conception OF the material
burdens which they have bsen forced to
bear When tho war ended. for instance.
the Germans had $40 600 troops Of ali
arms on French territory To-day the
peaco footing Of the regular French army,
without counting geDdarmerie or any
reserves actually exceeds by 30, 600 that
total muster Of the Germans at the time
Of their triumph The present standing
army of the German Empire, being
formed on the theory Of defensive
force. is trihs smaller. lt has only
5S5 600 men under arms. These figures
are too vast to convey realities 10 the
mind The fact may be made a little
clearer by saying that the French and
German people together have now some
500 600 more professional lighting men
10 sctive service than they found &c
raosssarv to maintain before the war OF
1870 Yet this too, fails to give an
adequate idea of.the tremendous sacrifices
which both nations have been compelled
to make, year after year. throughout this
weary quarter of q century.

the ordinary affairs Of life ard cause men
10 neglect duties snd responsibilities
that are more Important, generally
speaking, than those Of politics.
There is no good reason
why a whole Summer should be
spent In attending public meetings and
listening to repititions OF familiar argu

posted upon current issues. aud do not

In order to learn how they ought to vote
IL is true that a certain degree of activ
ity and enthusiasm is advantageous to
parties as parties, and there can be no
objection to a reasonable amount Of
stump speaking and other forms Of
electioneerinR, but as 3 rule. this sort Of
thing Is much overdone In this country,
and considerably lees Of 1t would be fully
as effective so far as practical results are
concerned. This is true not only as to a
state campaigns, but also as to those OF
national character.
