THE Germans In Austria continue to
fight bitterly against the determined
efforts of the other races to get rid of
their dominance, aud actually subordi-
nate them. One of the burning ques-
tions that now throws the Lower House
into chaos, worse than that which used
to convuize Congress over slavery issues,
Is the effort of the Slavic representatives,
to have the Czech substituted for Ger
man as the official language of Bohemia
This is States Rightsism in form in
which we never had to encounter it,
though we should have to do so if we
annexed Canada, for the French of
Quebec would insist on using French
for all official proceedings Its exist
ence tends to consolidate the different
parties on race lines, for all the Ger
mans, of the most divergent political
views, are inhexibly opposed to displac-
ing the German language, and equally
the Bohemian, LET'S, Socialists, etc, are
resolute that it shall be done. Civil
war is not unlikely to break out at any
time.

IT seems strange that piracy still re-
mains profitable occupation in this last
decade of the 18th century, and that,
toe, in one of the greatest highways of
the worlds commerce. Yet 10 lessfhan
five merchant vessels were captured last
August alone, almost within sight OF the
British flag at Gibraltar, by the Riff
pirates These fellows are the descend
ants and successors Of the "terrors of
the sea Of the early part of the century,
from the Algerian, Tunisian, Tripolitan,
and MorIoccoan coasts, 10 whom we paid
tribute and then fought. They have
only little piece of coast eft, but in
ternational jealousy prevents their being
cleaned out. England wants TO do it,
but France and Russia also want the
important strip Of land, which in Eng
lands hands would, with Gibraltar, make
deadlock On the Mediterranean. Rus
sia wants 10 get in the thin edge Of the
wedge by placing diplomatic repre-
sentative AT Tangier, hut England will
not consent 10 50 much rs this.

PEOPLE never seem to stop to think,
when they are abusing Legislatures,
Congress, and public officials, that they
are only abusing themselves. These
men are all their representatives and

them elect better ones.

As WAS to be expected, the Spanish
Ministry has sent very conciIiatory re-
ply to our Government. The object is
to gain time. This is in accordance
with the traditional policy of Spain.
When it encounters any difficulty it en-
deavors to stave it oil, in hopes that time
will solve it. "Manana "-to-morrow-
is as much in the mouths ofSpanish diplo-
mats as in those Of the. common peo-
pie. Nothing is to be done to-day that
can be put off until some future time.
Senior Sagastas is particularly deferrer.
He knows that he is only accidentally
in power, and can remain there but a
little while, and he proposes to shuttle
along with as little friction as possible
until the time of his inevitable overthrow.
If fair words will amuse us we shall have
all the fair words we can accommodate.

GERMANY has gotten into row with
Haiti. What the justice of the quarrel
is cannot be determined at present, as
we have only the German side of it.
But it is just as well to cast an eve of
suspicion on the business. Germany
would give very much to gain foot
hold in the West Indies. Haiti and
San Domingo offer very good opporuni-
ties

THE European papers all complain

THE bicycle is RAPIDLY rising in fayo

THE bicycle is rapidly rising in favor
among German military men. A great
many regiments have squads of 20 wheel
men each, who do great things in the way
of reconnoitering, carrying dispatches, etc.
The infantrymen are very fond of them,
because their quickness in scouting and
bringing back correct news saves much
weary marching. They keep the road
through all sorts of weather. AS soon as
firing is heard at the front they rush up
and bring back precise Information
Most of the engineer companies are
mounted on wheels.

EUROPEAN IGNORANCE of AMERICAN
The Literary Digest gives some amusing in
stances of French ignorance of this country
lie Petit Pdrisien is TO Paris about what the
World and Journal are to New York-a "yel
low" paper of large circulation among the
more ignorant and sensation loving. In one
issue recently it contained the following re-
markabIe statements:
Canada is a great country. She may be
well proud OF having given birth TO George
Washington"
Among the celebrities present at the review
of the Russian troops was the brilliant Com
mander-in. Chief of the American army, Gen.
Nelson"
1T should of course, be remembered that
the masses of people are only halfcivilized in
America. Only q fraction of the people can

making alone rules"

Alaska. which belongs partly to the United
States, and partly TO Canada. There will be

haste to the cover of the bar and the
heavy land batteries.
The Merrimac went into dry dock
and stayed there nearly one month, re-
pairing the injuries which the Monitor
had inflicted upon her. If the Monitors
men had not been strictly limited to 10
pounds of powder for charge, they
would have sent her to the bottom in n
little while. Later in the war 80 pounds
was made frequent charge in the guns.
The occurrence of which the Charles
ton Nears and Courier makes so much
took place April II, during McClellan's
movement on the Peninsula. The Mcrrl-
mac came out again, but with none OF
the audacity Of the previous effort. She
did not venture far beyond the support
of the heavy guns of Sewells Point, nor
approach the line-ofbattle which Com
modore Goldsborough had formed. A
number of sutler boats, Quartermaster's
transports, etc, had pushed up, contrary
to the Commodore's warnings, toward
Newport News The two gunboats ac-
companying the Merrimac captured two
brigs and a schooner, and took them
across to Sewall's Point in full sight OF
the fleet. This was very humiliating,
and Commodore Goldsborough was
severely censured for it. But he con-
strued his orders TO mean that he should
not make fight except under favorable
circumstances until his fleet was in
creased, as McClellan's operations might
he jeoparded. So he held the Monitor
back, and the Navy Department sus-
tanned his action.
This was very CALLING to the gallant
men of the Monitor, who could not un-
derstand it. and they wrote tie following
letter to Capt. Worden:

that soon We will have the pleasure of wei

waiting very patiently to engage orr An
tagonist if we could only get chance to do
so. The last time she came out we all
thought we would have the pleasure of sink
ing her. But we all got disappointed; for
we did not fire one shot and the Norfolk
papers says We are towards III the Monitor
and all we want is a chance to show them
where it lies, with You for orr Captain we
can teach them who is towards. Bat there is
"a great deal that we would like to write TO you
but we think you will soon be with Us again

On May 8 the Monitor went up and
offered battle, while the rest of the
fleet engaged the guns at Sewall's Point.
The Merrimac came out, but very cauti-
ously. The Monitor moved into open
water where she and the Merrimac could
have it out by themselves, without any
interference from the forts on either side,
but the Mcrrmac declined the challenge,
and went back under cover. Three
days later the rebels blew her up.
The undeniable fact is that the Merri-
mac was decisiyely whipped by the
Monitor, and never dared offer battle
again, except in q position where she
could have the help Of big guns on
shore.

ABSOLUTELY nothing isto be expected
from the new Spanish Ministry. The
Prime Minister is noted as shufiier who
never has a policy of his own, but wrig-
giles through the toftuous maze of Span
ish politics, and picks up advantages
wherever he can find them. His party
is strongly in the minority, and he is at
varience with all the other leaders, most
of whom he has left out Of the Cabinet.
His Ministry only continues by the
grace Of the Opposition, which can over
throw it at any moment.

should compare this with the number on
the yellow address slip containing his
name. If that number is S4S, he has
only one paper more coming to him. If
$40, he will have two, and so on. He
will do us a favor by watching these
closely, so as to know when his subscrip-
ton expires, that he may renew in time,
and it will be to his interest, for there
are SO many valuable serials now run

he cannot afford to miss a number.

once at the address slip on his paper,
