The salvation of the Topublican party de- ponds upon two things: 1. Demoosatio stu- pidity, which for fiteon years Eml boon ag cor- tain a8 the sun ; aud, 3, Republican wisdom and atatesmanship, in rospect of which wo may well have somo considerablo but not ovorshoiming confidenco. It will surely be rogarded 08 tho duty of honest Republicans and honest Ro- publican journals to do all in their power to cor- et tho miatakes of the past, nnd to provide n comprahensive policy for the future, by which tho country shall bo rostored to prosperity and placed on the plancof substantial progress. COMINO TOLITICAL I1SSDES, ‘[0 presont is not an Loroio ers in poitics. 1t is o time when thonsands of men aro out of cmployment ; when ‘busiocss is not greatly pros- porous; when speculation is in & doadlock : shen millions of capital aro'lying idlo. Great + industries, Losing beeu forced by suporfuous Ingislation into artificial channels, are now pros- trato in ruins, with absolutoly no bopo of per- manont rebabilitation, Othors aro prostrated in dienstor which ought ta bo coly temporary, 8till othors, of great importance in tha deveolopment of our material rerources, aro atraggling agatnst heavy odds for existouco and recognition, It ‘muet bo clear to every reflecting porson that no singlo cause conld lave produced tho presont sitaation of aftalre, Lven o it ia’clear foalisuch peraons that, for tho regaining of genoral prosperity, thero must ba & comprobon- sive poliey adopted; o policy which shall com- ‘ Kmhunu the abolition of existing ills not only, nt wiicl shall nldo embrace positiva measures fa‘ progreseive reform. Among theso moasuros BEFO 1§ TRANSPORTATION. This question is ono of vary great importance, eurrounded by grave difiiculties, both practical and lepal. I will be recollected by alt thet in 1873 Sonator Windom's Specisl Committea trav- ‘led tite country from one oud to tho othior for 1ho purpose of obtuining factaand the opiuions of experts in rosvect to the existing meons of inlaud trensportation, whorein they sto deficlent, apd bhow they may be_improved. The reault of allthis ocxpenss aud labor was n voliminous re- port and o long speech. Pariuriunt montes, nascitur ridloulus mus. ‘The report fell to pieces of its own weight. Tts recommendationa wera on & ecale of magnifi- cencc as reapects internal improvements which would heva swampad the tressuries of Clriaten- dom and the Indies. Thoy spoke of ''Afries nud goldens jove,” and would not get down to plain possibilitien. Ancient Pistol was not half o toploftical. 1t ia well for tho peoplo that tho wholo business, as thus, inangurated, ended in othing, so far as Congless is concerned. But tis plawn that sbusos oud estravazances in tiosportation cxist, haying & constant costly effeet upon rroducers. It is equally plain that reform hersin is no _osdy task, That womeching can bo dons’ by law s cortain; but that the romedy for the ifl3 is outaido of luw, is, porhaps, the better opimon, It lies in practical improvements in tho mochinory of transportation, poth by water cod rail, What ja thosenss of canying 10,000 ponnds of whert in a car 28 big 83 a lumber-yard, and only one-third full?

Mechamical sldll ox- oreised in~ tho matters heve refarred to, andt the vigorous hostility of Lhe pressto tronsportation-monopolics ond abuses, will per~ haps do moro for {his reform, in which our agri- colturists are 8o vitally interested, than anv law, Sisto or National. But whot the law, State or National, can rightfolly do in the premiges to dimnish or sbolith tha acknowledged evils in inland transportation, onght ‘to bo done. And wupon this much the Republican party ought everywhero to ineist.

It weould make littto or po_difiorence, therofore, to vur farmorn if we should dovien just means for ihe cansidarablo reduction of the rates of inland traneportstion, Tho prives of their products nra governed by tho Livaerpool quatatione.

OUD MINING INDUSIRIES, Tho questlon of the mining Induatrics of our contral Torritories—whoro aro the riohost do- poeits of tho precious metals in the world—is one of great lm{wmncu. constantly wing. ‘Phis portion of tho country ia deutided to ndd vagtly to our national wealth. ‘There nre ime monzo oxtonts in thoso Torritories, rich in gold, silver, copper, lend, iron, and various galts, all lymft perfectly usoless, becauso of In- diaps who aro lablo at auy momont to make n destruotivo maraud mpan machinery sud operatives. Under such circumstances, capital will not go there.

The ilt-will, tho deadly enmity, botween TFranco and Gennaoy, vill oxist so long as thoro has not been another atruggle ; aud Bismarolk will know at tho given momout how to so work upon tho miods of the Gorman people that ke will ‘meot with no strong opposition should ho do- tormiue upon another war, Ho bas no foar of Evgland, aod cousts wupon tho noutrali- ty of Russle and Avstris. As for Italy and Spalo, ho is persuaded, say those who best kmow the Prince, that tlioso ¢wo nailona will become offensive and do- fensive allles whenever ho wishes it; and so e is drawing more closcly around franco the daad- 1y moghos of hiz net. Persons upon whose judgment I know from oxporienco I may count, and who have just re- turned from protracted visita to Germany, tell ma that, among the soldiers and ofticors through- out tho Bmpire, thora seoms to be but cno axult- ant couviction: They aro soon fo ovorrun Frauce ; aro soon to 50 CHUBHK AND MUTILATE NER that she will never again sssumo s high rank amouy .the Powers of Europe.

They aro full well awars that never again will Gernisny find e so totally unprepared for defouse; and, though thoy count upon final success, they kuow that it must be obtained ot torsiblo cost. And mo, in both conotries, the foeling of unoasiness is sproading. 01 courae I do not mean to imply that war iy to broak out at once; but I do tirmly believe {hst, short of sumo unforoseen twn of affairs in Eurepe, tha Chancellor Bismaick wiul bnng about o struggle between Franco and Germaay WITHIN THE NEXT YEAD. Should he wait any longer, Fiauce will have become too powerful, too \\ailA propared to reaist invasion; and we know smarck is tho man 10 act at the proper mument, 1t may bappen, " however,—as tho best Iaid plans often go awry,—that the European Powers will interfexe with the Bismarcls game, and that the roprobation of all thae world wilt check ovon the sudacity of the German Premior, Bhort of 1l 1seo nothing to stop bim. I may add, tuat, should this fail—slould Germauy at al Lozards fall upon Frauco,—sho may find that to destroy & poople so naturally brave and so fall of rosourco i, afterall, no casy iatter. Enger to beliove that they wmay tind alijes, the Frouch seize upon evon tho sewblauco of wis. understanding betweon Germany aud other Pow- orsto conviuco themselves that Bismarck is losing ground in Furope. But in this, tho wish in doubtioss father to the thouglt. Although Russin and Austiia aro joalous of Germany, snd would not willingly see her becomo still mors powerful, it i by no means certain they would interfore to save Frauce in caso of hor defeat. Tho desath of tho Ozar or that of the Quosn of England might ’ BINGULABLY MODIFY ALL 7415, howover, as it 18 well knowu that the Czarewitoh and tho Prince of Wales aro nejther of them fond of the Germans, and, if in powar, they would most likely act direcily in opposition to tho Intercsts of the now Empire, Ba thisawit roay, doubt and uncertalnty now roign, and, as I @aid sbove, b fosling of uueasinoss is general. 1 am resuted that AMonsiour ‘Lhiers, who droada o renowel of war botween Frauce and Garmany, and who foars that Princo Bismarck might ob- tain some hold upon Victor Lmauuel's Govern- ment, undertook bis lato trip to Italy simply with the purpose of doing in his power to countoraat the schemes of the wily Gorman, I am further assured tbat AL Thiers is much pllensod with tho result of his self-imposed mis- slon.

Sunday, Amusements---¢ Grand §ae cred Entertainments,” favonty Thousand People Ont of Work ---Bufferings of the Poor, Spectal Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, New Your, Nov. 17, 1814, Among the many sousational articles which Iinyo appoared, and do appoar, in the columns of thoe Now York Zerald, nothing basever awakensd #uck publio iutorost, and aroused at once such publio indignation, as the long, thrilling, and soul-harrawing CENTBAL-PAK WILD-ANIMALY IOAX, that appoared in one of its isencs last wook. So vivid woa tho deseription, and g0 intenso the hor- xor thet it cranted, that a very natural reaction of disgust and indignation took placa on readiny: tho oruol and cowardly finale, called tho ** Moral,” * whoroln the wholo affair was prononnced o jokal As may bo imagined, it was a vory hoartless joke fo play upon tho norvous fears of womon, and children ; and patorfamilias himself was fonntt to be no less norvous, when, after roading 8 cols uma or two of tho sickening dotalla (wherein . Jittlo innocent childron wero torn and mangled by the flylng, infuriato tiger ar lionoss), he, in o quivenmg voies and with white Ups, sont & merveut to the nearcss stablo for a carriago to bring baok his own Lttle childron, just departed from tuio broakfant-talil for thoir daily school. In many lustances, doli ¢éato Indies fainted at rending tlio foarful recitala and husbands frantically tolepraphed from thoit places of bnsiness down town, to wivea and ohik dren at homo, not to tako thoir accustomed rida ond not ‘to venturo out of doors at all, lest they sbould bo torn fato pleces by tho roving wild antmnis which had escapod. Parties from the country, and strangors at the hotels, intonding to visit the Park thot doy, woro horrified at read- ing the sccount, and ot onco gave up all idea of oxploring tho Central Park. It is stated, on good authority, that mauy subscribors to the Herald indignantly, and ot once, stopped their subgoriptions for the paper; aud irate falhers wrote lettors by the acosa for the loading daily papers, crying down tho cowardly, ornel joke. As for tho other Now York papers, saveral of the prominent onos oponed fira at once upon the Herald for its wide-sprend, cruel hosx; and many of the lesser lights, after waiting sevoral days to seo which way popular fecling would go, offored fosble battle. It is not supposed, of course, that the sction of tha few subscribers who have withdrawn from the Herald—tho men who rofuso hencoforward to havo it in thoir fam- illos—will matorially afTact tho wida-aproad cir- culation of that journal; but the honx has dove incalculable injury to tho paper by shaking pub- 1lc confidence in ita pages as a reliable, truttiful, lonost ghaet.
