Emile Olivier.

Emile Olivier, who has Just died,
went out of power more than forty
years ago. after being as prominent
in the eyes of his contemporaries as
Gladstone or Bismarck. The collapse
of the second empire carried down the
independent ministers. Olivier was
French premier when the war with Ger
many began, but the first French de-
feats were too much for his prestige,
and he was compelled to resign, to be
succeeded by the Palikan ministry,
which lasted during the few weeks that
elapsed between the 9th of August and
September 4, 1870, when the battle of
Sedan was fought.
Olivier was for time a refugee liv-
ing in Italy, until the prejudices of his
countrymen had had time to subside.
He returned to France to enter upon
long course of defense of the en-
plre. He was originally a Republican,
the most brilliant of that opposition
which wrung from Napoleon III many
concessions. Gradually Olivier be-
came reconciled and entered the pub
lie service to convert the empire into
a constitutional-monarchy. To him is
due the acceptance by Napoleon III in
the last year of his reign of the prin-
ciple of parliamentary institutions.
Had Olivier retired immediately
after the acceptance of his ministerial
program by the Emperor and nation.
he would have left a name that would
stand high in the estimation Of DOS
terity. The war ruined him as pub
lie man, but it did not silence him. In
1895 when he was seventy and the last
of all the great actors in the Franco
German drama, he began his work.

knew better than any other man liv-
ing, he surprised Germany by proving
that Napoleon III did not count with
out cause upon sympathy and aid
among the minor German potentates.

duced great sensation in Germany

The Causes of Delay.

1t is difficult to designate the causes
of delay. Perhaps the most apparent
is the hope on the part of the Repub-
licans that the Democrats will blunder,
and that thus the Republican party will
come into power.
This is a curious attitude for an or
ganization which for so many years
was constructive and progressive. The
claim of the Republican party for pop
ular support was based upon its asser-
ton that it initiated ideas and accom-
plished results. 1t contended, and
with some foundation in fact, that the
Democrats belonged to party of ne
CATION, and this claim, largely shared
by the American people, had much TO
do with keeping the Republican party
in power. To-day the shoe is on the
other foot.
1t is the Republican party which is
marking time. Its membership in the
House offered no substitute for the
Democratic tariff bill; its leaders today
present no solution of the Mexican
problem, and thus far there is no evil
dence that there will be any Repub-
lican currency bill. 1t may be said thar
any measure or suggestion emanating
from the minority would be rejected.
This does meet the criticism OF the
rank and file of loyal Republicans that
their party seems to have entirely lost
its old-time characteristics. In their
minds it seems to indicate a spirit OF
hopelessneSs which makes it all the
harder to fight the enemy in the ap-
preaching campaign. Besides this,
party which can do nothing but wait
until its opponents make blunders
hardly deserves to have any existence.
Whatever the cause. the fact that
there has been delay and inaction is
most apparent. The Democratic ad-
ministration has been in power for six
months. During all this time much
effective campaign material has beer
ignored. There has been no attempt
to get before the country the Repub-
lican side of the conditions in Wash
ington.
1t was remarked by one Republican
Congressman the other day, and with
some degree of anxiety, fhat the week
ly newspapers in his district had
ceased to mention the Republican
party. 1t was doing nothing to war
rant comment. and the publicity which
it might have secured through active
criticism was sadly wanting.

SUNDAY, AUGUST "a, 1913.
HEPOLITICAL SITUATION

The Democratic party acknowledges
Woodrow Wilson as its head. The
Progressives recognize their directing
spirit in Theodore Roosevelt. The Re-
publicans are absolutely without a
leader
It is a remarkable condition for an
organization which for over fifty years
has controlled, almost without inter
ruption. the political destinies of this
country. The fact is. however, that
ever since the fateful election day last
November. when its Presidential can
didate was Overwhelmingly defeated, II
has been like a vanquished prize-fght-
er. Not only ten. but hundred and
a thousand could have been most de-
liberatelv counted while it has lain
prone upon the ground.
During the months which have
elapsed since election day it has eN-
perienced condition Of lethargy and
indifference which seems in strange
contrast with its former vigor. Appar-
entity. all of its old militant spirit has
oozed away. Its fighting quality has
disappeared 1t has no aggressive or
Canization-in fact. no organization OF
anv kind. The head of its national
committee is no longer in evidence. If
the party is to have a rallying point in
the next campaign, no one has taken
the trouble to make it plain 10 the
rank and file OF the voters The dead
ness Of the organization has been like
unto the mummy in Pharaoh's tomb
1t is not 50 with the Democrats and
the Progrcssives. The former long ago
opened their headquarters, set their
publicity machinery in motion. and or
ganized their Congressional committee.
This body has been industriously en-
paged in laying plans for struggle
for the control OF the next House.
Its officials have already collected a
vast amount OF data respecting condi-
tinns in each Congressional district,
and this information, carefully sched-
uled and indexed, has already given
rhcm clear knowledge OF the local
i,ies in which their contests will have
to he most bitterly fought They have
taken a lively interest in the elections
which have been occasioned through
the deaths of members. and even now
have arranged with Secretary Bryan
to >pcak in Maine.
The Progressives have not been idle.
They have supplied hundreds of news
papers with material calculated to slim
ulate interest in their party principles.
More than this. they have sent organ
izer> into many States; as witness the
recent visit Of David Henshaw. OF Kan
sas. in,o North Dakota. They. too,
have assisted in the campaigns of their
Congressional candidates in Massachu-
sctts and New Jersey. and are work
ing like beavers in Maine
The Republicans. on the other hand.
If they did anything at all in these
elections. confined their efforts TO
few spasmodic and perfunctory per
formances. and failed to make any
material showing.

Tax Imposed On Every Man, wom-
nm, and Child in New York city.
In bulletin of the NO Matter Who Is
Elected" series. issued by the Bureau of
Municipal Research, attention is called
to the payment OF interest on the city
Gebt. The bulletin says:
New YoFk's real interest payment on
actual debt is not the $3S, $4,000 quoted in
the budget. but is only 81, 2,O0o.O co. The
bureau demands a change in the debt
situation from the next administration.
but presents a fair estimate Of existing
charges first over 100000 worth of the
interest charges appropriated in the bud
get are for interest on one-year loans

ing S55OQQ.poO interest on the real or per
manent debt. j. E., long-term bonds.
"Instead OF paying the whole S55 0Oo. OOO
TO outside creditors, S9,OOO.0O0 was paid in
1913 into New York's sinking funds on
city bonds held there. OF this So 600, ,OOo.
some $6.00O.0OO goes right back. by way of
the sinking fund. into the taxpayers
pocket-into the general fund to reduce
this years taxes-and 100000 goes into
other sinking funds which are not OF
themselves growing rapidly enough to
pay off instruments of debt when due.
The $4,000 which reyeTts to the gen.
eral fund must be subtracted from the
debt total, since it is among the antici-
pated revenues of the city.
Another large item which must be
subtracted from the budget total for pay
ment OF interest is the interest on assess
ment bonds and self-sustaining bonds
such as rapid transit, water. docks. &C.
which, like the interest paid on city bonds
held by certain sinking funds. reverts TO
the general fund, and is included among
anticipated revenues when finding the
amount which must be paid for taxes.
This reduces interest charges to So. Geo. 600.
The interest charges increasing with
the debt during the last ten years have
tripled in that time. The interest on the
permanent debt. which was $I2,OO0, 90 in
1905. is S35.O0OOOO in 1913.
For every man, woman, and child In
New York the city is paying this year
$50 worth OF interest
The billion-dollar debt is too large to
grasp, but this $50 per capita charge for
interest only is more nearly compre-
hensible"
