POLITICAL UNREST ~ AUSTRIA.

The much-mxcd Kaleidoscope Of Austrian
politics is to have another shaking. The Poles
are 10 be deposed from their dominant standing
as a party True, the Prime Minister. Count
Badeni, himself a Pole. has just declared that
he recognizes them as forming, with other non
German parties, the Government majority. His
Ministry, therefore. is n non-German one. not
TO say antl-German, depending for support upon
the Poles and Czechs, supplemented by the
Clercals. But general opinion seems 10 be that
this is the beginning Of the end of the Badcnl
Ministry. The Counts resignation Is looked
for within month to be followed by reor-
ganiZation Of the Cabinet on Clerical lines and
then by the downfall Of the Poles.
This change which may have far-rcaching
effects throughout imperial politics, is largely
due to the measure OF reconciliation which has
toen effected between the Gar and the Poles

TILL GREAT MINERS Strike.

Most of the miners in the Pittsburg district
have returned TO work. They have lost all
their wages for several weeks. and have gained
thereby an advance Of 10 cents in the price for
mining. without the far greater advantages
which they could have gained AZ the outset "

THE SEASON or EQU4LITIES.

The equal balancing Of day and night Is hap
ply significant. To the average man. to Peter
Bell il practically matters little. so iar as inc
mere alienation of light end darkness goes
lie pays no heed to ;he exact division. lie
sleeps through the first hours OF daylight, as
before. and is awake far into the early hours
Of night Yet even he NJ times must notice

whose vision sees beyond the light and whose
fancy is not fettcred by the darkness each de-
tail of the season is Of profcundest interest.
All nature seems in equilibrium. Night and
day are commensurate. Heat and cold are at
Il golden mean. Fresh flowers are abloom ana
fruits are ripcning together. The year hats
for n space upon the great divide between the
vital profusion OF midsummer and the mortal
dearth Of mdwinter. 1t is "A time for temper
and for Judgment TO he poised, and life and all
its functions and activities TO be in perfect bal
ancc.
Yet strange 10 say. II seems not TO be So
On the contrary the world around the season
is filed with inequalities. infrni!ties, unba-
ancnCs. Midsummer madness never made
more disastrous medley. For a fortnight the
daily news has teemed with tales OF railroad
and steamboat wrecks Of the most perversely
incxcusable character. There have been sew
eral strikes of workinGmen Of more than or
binary magnitude and bitterness. with tragic
results in one case Of unprecedented horror
There is veritable epidemic Of savage and
Causeless lynchings. \ plague Of yellow fever
has broken out in the Southern States. And
in domestic politics there is an exceptionally
ebulient manifestation of unreasonableness.
In this season of equalties the world seems
topsy-turvy.
He Is, however only superficial reader OF
the signs Of the times who sees in this mere
paradox. Nature indeed delights In what seem
paradoxes but are really harmonies Of logic.
So at this present time the very equilibrium OF
material things makes needful just such dis
turbances as vex the world to-day. For there
must be a moral equilibrium, too a balancing
of good and evil in the world. And TO effect
that needs contrary TO some PHILOSOPHERS,
temporary increase Of the latter element. II
takes a vast amount Of evil TO equal the good
that Is in this world. Whatever the pcssimist
may say. most of the time the good is by far
the greater. If 1t were not so there would be
no progress Every new discovery of ancient
truth--for there are no new truths-every in
vention, every triumph OF mind over matter, is
proof Of the general dominance Of virtue There
is small reason therefore. for complaint If for
n space the evil elements seem To have their
innings. 1t is only a phase OF the equalzing
rule that bears brief sway in the cquinociial
bOrder-seasOn and all the more emphasizes the
universal balance Of the times.
