FRANCE pRAISIyG EMPEROR WILLIAM.

It Is certainly an unusual and surprising thin8
to read eulogstc remarks upon Emperor Will
lam OF Germany and his subjects N the Paris
press. Yet praise and gratitude have been the
keynote of virtually all the French papers In
referring to the valuable aid given by the EN-
peror and the cruiser Gefon In rescuing the
French steamer General Chanzy from Its peril
Gus position in the Nardfjord Norway, Few
days ago The French are an impresslonable
people and they seem to welcome this opportu-
nifty to sound the praises Of the ruler OF their
hereditary enemy. In recent years Emperor
William has done many tactfu things In the
hope of pleasing France; but no act of his has
brought a rapprochement nearer than this
courtesy the high seas.
On the day before, however he had given an
other proof Of his good will which also meets
encomums from Partisan editors The Emperor
staying at Stalheim. Norway, when the
passengers Of the same General Chanzy landed
there They were unable to get accommodations
In the hotel and when His Majesty heard Of
their discontinue he directed the members Of
his suite to give up their rooms to the visitors.
They cheered him for this-think Of Frenchmen
cheering Emperor William.-little knowing that
on the following day they would be even
more deeply inoebted to him. AS soon as
he heard of the mishap Of the vessel he
sent his cruiser to help float the Frenchman.
ard manifested In every way his sympathy and
good WILL An English boat, which carried the
passengers ashore, received 100 francs from
each one while the commandant Of the cruiser,
which was at work all day refused 10 take even
q basket Of champagne as recompense. The
fact gave the French journals additional reason
to aud the Germans at the exper Sc of the
English
These incidents. trivial in a certain sense, have
really become Of International Importance, and
enough to say that the German Emperor will be
welcomed In Paris In 1900 Thus France and
Germany may owe years Of peace to the ground
ing of the General Chanzy in the Norwegian
ford.

The agitation in favor Of free silver mas
stopped investments in enterprises which would
otherwise have enabled them to operate their
works as usual" This is the reason given Tor
the closing of important iron mines In Michigan
and the throwing Of thousands Of men out OF
employment. The president of the Tilden Min
ing Company Is q hardheaded man of business
He has acted from business reasons purely
There Is no politics in his course, save that
which inhcres in the facts themselves. The les
son which the facts convey Is plain for all to
read The effect Of the free-sver agitation Is
TO make capital t!mid and withdraw it from
activity. and the worst sufferers will be the
workingmen whom the silverites arc trying to
deude with false hopes.

AS 1t approaches completion II Is evident that
the Bridge station at the New-York terminus IA
far better arranged than the Brooklyn terminal,
which has been the cause Of so much complaint.
The management have learned something from
experience. and have arranged things at this
end so that two or more streams Of passengers
moving in different directions will not cross each
others way The great drawback Of the new
station this side Of the river Is the intoerabv
long distances passengers are compelled to waIk
70 take the trains. While the work OF buildins
1t was going on II was supposed that the walk
nearly halfway to the East River would be only
temporary. but 1t now appears that It Is To b
a permanent matter. Bridge travellers cannot
help thinking II another OF the blunders that
have been so numerous In connection with THU
public work.

1t was the special distinction of Justice Pratt,
of Brooklyn. whose death occurred yesterday.
that he was elected and reelected without oppo-
sition and as the candidate Of both the great
parties. His elevation TO the Bench and his con-
tinuance there were thus en- exempliication Of
the elimination OF politics from judicial office,
which every right-mnded man recognizes as de-
sIrable and important Judge Pratt's career on
the Bench followed an honorable service as a
soldier, in which he rose 10 the rank Of brigadler
general and received wound from rebel bul,
let that almost cost him his life.

Under the revised Constitution no one can
vote in this State who has not been citizen
for ninety days. and the period during which
naturalization papers can be taken out in time
for this year expires to-day While there
has been some activity in the courts granting
naturalization for the last few days. there has
been no suggestion OF the scandalous proceed
ings that the order of the day when the
naturalization mills were run up to short
time before election day. The berefcence of
this provision was demonstrated last year. and
1t will continue to have a most excellent effect
When the period only ten days. there was
a strong temptation on the part of political
managers to grind out many citizens as pos
sible In October. BY simply striking out the
word ten" and substituting the word ninety"
a reform Of the first Importance has been ef-
fected.

That was an interesting bit OF news which The
Tribune printed on Friday regarding the near
beginning Of work the Shore Road improve
ment. between Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton.
The members Of the Shore Road Commission
have rendered large amount OF valuable ser
vice to the community without thought Of COM
pensation. and are entitled TO the thanks Of the
public for what they have done Public senti
ment Will, We think. approve their decision to
retain the historic name Shore Road instead of
substituting for II some more hgh-soundine
designation. The name they have kept Is OF long
standing and II has the merit OF shortness and
simplicity. The drive which Is 10 be constructed
will in all probability surpass the Riverside
Drive in attractive features. since 1t will have
the Bay and Narrows as It's immediate environ
ment on one side: but II will not serve its full
purpose until 1t is extended to Concy Island and
connected with the Ocean Parkway. This Is not
only possibility but a reasonable probability
Of the near future. A liberal policy In this mat
ter is highly desirable. whether the work Is done
by Brooklyn alone or by Greater New-York.

Ex-President Harrison could not find better
place than New-York City in which to make his
first campaign speech He has been invited to
speak here at some time in the course Of the
canvass and it is natural to ass line that he will
accept the invitation. NEWCOMERS always
hear him with pleasure and appreciation. and
from no other point in the country would his
words go forth with greater weight than from

GENEROUS GERMAN IMMIeRAS1.
Gave His Money to u Woman IN His

Gave His Money to II Woman IN His
Charge So She Could Land.
New York, Aug. 14.-Franz Biskup came
all tine way from Germany to America with
a young girl who was a friend OF his family
in his charge, and then had to go all the way
back as a pauper, because bc generously
gave her his money SO as 10 render her
eligible etoadnittance tothis country.
1t all came about in this way: Franz
has n wife and five children in Germany,
and they all knew Bertha seidler, pretty
girl, twenty-five years Of age, who lived in
thesame town Is they did.
When Franz decided to come to Ameri-
ca II was thought to be q good opportunity
to put Bertha In his care, as she was COM
ing. too. So they embarked In company on
the Albano, which arrived in this port few
days ago. Their names appeared side by,
side on the ships passenger list, and they
werc always seen together aboard the
ship and on Ellis Island after they reached
this country.
The Ellis Island officials became in
quisitive, and asked questions which made
Franz think that he had compromised
Bertha's good name. He suddenly be-
Thought himself that everything would be
all right II be said that he and she were
engaged to be married. SO when the off.
Gals examined him he s~ore that Bertha
was soon to be his bride. The girl sup.
ported him In this statement -
But after time the officials, who did
not believe tho story, made Franz tell the
truth-that Bertha was simply O family,
friend. who had come to this country In
his care. This, however, did not fully
clear away all difficulties, for the girl did
not have sufficient money. Franz had $26
left out of his savings. and he generously
gave this to Bertha and bade her be of
good cheer. The sum made the girl eligible
for admission to the Land OF the Free, and
in time she was sent to her aunt in Lake
Forrest, III.
But Fritz had pauperized himself by his
kindly act. and he could rot yass the gates
Of freedom. Under the law the Ellis Island
officials were compelled to deport him as
a pauper. and yesterday he was sent home
on the steamer Furst Bismarck
