ROW THE VICTORY WAS WON. The real oxtent of the Republican vietory now sits down ogain with his old friends | jn Ohio can be best estimated by considering Noaw, 8uen, Hast and Jaruer. Tho ark re- turns to Ararat immediately. Tha Democratic party of the Stats of Masachusetts has, through its Executive Com- mittee, decided to place tho name of Jomy Qumicr Apaws on its ticket 18 _candidate for Lieutenant.Governor, in place of Gen.

The letter is extremoly readablo and interest. tng. Secretary BrisTow saems to have peculiar Iaoulty for following up the scent of fraud. A hint that all was not as it should bo in Boston waa sufficiont to set on foot a rigid in- guiry, with the result of doveloping exten- ive dishonesty in the conmstruction of tho Post-Office building in that city. Promptly the matter has been placed in the hands of the Bolicitor of tho Treasury, with instruc. tions to take immedinte steps townrds pro. teeding against the guilty parties and pro- laoting the Government againat loss. Additfonnl advices from Ohio tend to re- duce the first estimates of publican gains and majorities, but the generhl result is not affected ; Hares and the entire Btate ticket are unquostionably elected, Present in- dications are that tho majority may be brooght as low as 5,000, whick 8 doing wonderfully well, in view of tie fact that the Democratic voto was 30,000 larger than ever before polled for Bovernor in Ohio, The Legislature pecms to be secured for the Republicans, with a good working majority in both Houses, nud a pla. rality on joint ballot, 'The size of tho vic. tory does not diminish in proportion to the taduction of the majority, It is atill glori. ously jmmenss, An interosting and comprehensive review at thelocal political situstion is printed this morning. It tolls of the tremendous shruge gle for offica now going on in the ranks of the Opposition; of bargain and sale; of bad faith and downright perldy of the meanest and most contomptible kind; of howls of rage and furious threats of vengeance; of fearful fangle end confusion all around, Now that the tax-eaters and bummers are all by tho ears, a fine opening Is prasented to the Republicans to take such action s shall ‘bring to their alde people of all parties who are sick and disgusted with this saturnalia of the plunder-hunters, and put forward men whom the offloes nesd, and who do not noed the offlces. A malislous canard wns recontly published by the Chleago T¥mes concorning Bocretary Bawrow and Attorney-Genoral Prennerowt, of whom it was alleged that when theirfami. lies returned from a European tour their bag. gege was taken from the steamer and landed daty-froa by a revenua cutter, Theslanderis shown by our Washington dispatches to have boen utterly baseless. Messrs. Baisrow and PrzrazronT, so far from availing themsclves of their official positions to escaps tho cus. toms rogulations, were particular in ordering a rigld overhauling and inspection of their ‘tamily baggage, aud the colleotion of the tar- i upon all dutiable articles. The Z¥mes can do better than to publivh silly lies of this sort. It can abuse Gen, Bnxnroay during bis sbeence; it can belittle Braxvey while that plucky explorer {s at & safo distance; and, when hard pressed for something vigorous, it 9an revive the topio of burning all the street- tare in Chicago, and hanging the company efloers, conductors, and drivers, The Ohloago produce marketa were generally andettled yestorday.

Comparison between the present returns and those of 1873, when ALLEN was clocted by 817 majority, do not show the real character of tho victory. The vote of 1873 was com. paratively light. The Democrats polled 214 654 votes and tho Republicans 213,8 There was no particular issuo pending in the campnign to produce an excitement and bring out a vigorous rivalry, In addition to this, the panio was just then sweeping over the country and made men oblivions of po- litical issues, The Republicans were apathet- ic, and pnt forth no strong, organized effort, and the Democrats slipped in amd stole a vie- tory which surprised them more thou it did the Republicans. Last fall, howaver, thers wes real work in the political field, The cmmpaign was vigorous and stub- born, 'The issuo was clearly and sharp- ly defined. The Democrats went iuto the campnign with a well-doveloped plan which had been settled upon, not only for Ohio but for evory Northern State which held an election, and, with one or two exceptions, it suceceded. Opposition to Gnant's Ad- ministration, to the allaged frauds of corrupt smen in the North and carpot-boggers in the Soutlh, aud to the general management of na. tiona! aflairs, was tho basis of the Damocratic success, and the issue called out a largely- increased voto over that of 1878, The Demo- crats polled 238,406 votes, and the Ropublic. ans 221,904, an inerease of 21,119 votes over the aggrogato vote of 1873, aud tho Demo- cratic candidate for Secretary of Stato was electod by 17,202 majority,~an increase of 16,385 over the majority of 1878, Again, the Stato hnd not recovered from the opera- tions of tho crusaders, and the tamporance, or rather prohibition, question thus be- came o distracting cloment, which hampered the Republicans at every step. This con. junction of adverse circnmstances threw the State into tho hands of tho Democrats. It gavae them the Logislature, with a majorityof o THE CHICAGO ennsider Tt was, he first place, & v tory aiainst an enemy strongly intrenched, and having the advantage of already oecupy- ing the field. In tho secand place, it was n victory of truth and sonnd reasoning ngainst sophislry, ignorauce, and prejudice. It was agallant fight agninat oddy gallantly won, 1 and the hard-money men of Olio have good reason 1o pliy themselves upon their vies tory. ————e THE LOCAL CAMYAIGN, Now that tiie Ohio election ix over, and the peoplo are ngnin vindicated from the imputa. tion of dishonesty wpon which the Ohio Democratic inflationists bosed their hopes of suceess, the people of Chiecsrgo autl Cook County should confine all their political thonghts to tho approaching local election. "I'ho county election this fall involves an issue of paramonnt importance, viz. : Tho honest, decent, and economical administration of the connty affairs, 'Lhe absence of s city tickel, by venson of the Supreme Court's charter decision, has a tendency to belittle the eloc- tion in the miifls of the people, and it scoms to bo generally believed that it is merely o question whether or not Mr. IIrsrxe shall bo clected County Treasuror. Thers is a good deal moro than this involved, and Mr. Hzs- 1No's personal success or defeat ia compar- atively insignificant by the side of the public interest involved in tho contest, Of much more jmportance is the choice of five County Comnissioners to fill the vacancles that ocenr in tho Bonrd this year. This Board controls the finances of tho county, and makes all tho contracts for the expendituro of tho money. Recent ovonts have given the public amplo roason to suspect that the Bonrd is controlled by a Ring to plunder the tax-payers on every ocension that presents, The construction of the Court-Ifouso will make their opportuni- tiea during the next two years eepecinlly nu- merous and fertile, If five good, honest tox~ payers can be elected this year, the Ring may bo defeated, and hundreds of thousends saved to the public. Tho success of the tax- enters who now call themselves the “ Oppo- sition " will fasten this Ring upon tho people hoyond aoy lope of escape. Two of our local Tudges aro to be clected, and the duty of preserving the past high-standing, integrity, and fairness of our local judiciary muot take precedenco of Mr. Tiesing's pernonal ambition to bo County Trensurer. It i not safe to in- trust the eelection of our Judges to a loenl combination which has no other raison @' etre than that of public plunder. Tho respeetnblo ond tas-paying votors must keep these things well in mind, no matter what political party 17,000 behind ther. It gave them Hamilton County, end Cuychoga County, and other Re- publican strongholds. It gave them Cleve- land, Toledo, Dayton, Zanesville, the Stale Capital, and all the principal towsis and cities. "This groat majority the Republicans, in this contest, have had to overcome. They have hed to wrest from the Democrats sll these places, in which every one supposed the Dem. ocrata were securely lodged. There was another obatacle, however, great- er thau any of these, which the Republicans have had to overcome,—tho discontont and delusions of the laboring classes, Ohio has more ivon-furnaces and conl-mines than any other State except Pennsylvania, The psnic of 1873 had a moro disastrous effoct upon thesa branches of industry than upon any other, It put out the firesunder the furnaces, It closed the doors of the iron.works. It atopped operntious in the coal-mines, It throw thousands of men out of work, and they found themsclves out of labor and out of monoy, With o hard winter approaching. 1t sproad discoutont aud distress in every dl- rection, The men who operate these furnaces and coal-mines are illiterats, credulous, pnd ensily deceived and misled. They found themsolves cither with very low wages or with no wages at all. ‘They found theirfom. ilies sufforing for the nocessities of life, and they saw no way of oscape excopt in a blind and infatuated opposition to capital which led them into strikes, only entailing npon them still moro sufferingand distress, While in this despondent condition, the rag-money dewnagogues seized upon thorm. Thoy siuck to them lika leeches, and plied ‘them with sophistical arguments and glittering promises which they engorly swallowed, Thoy showed them that whon money was scarce, the only remedy was to make more of it,—to print it by reuny ond eart-loads and scatler it broad. cust; that it wos the Iack of currency that was closing up businesa and throwiug thom out of work ; that intlation would mske moncy cheap and abundant; aud that the cheapness wnd abundaneo of money would givo thom plenty of wouk and 8l their pocke 6ts with greenbacks. Avtzy, Cany, Ewio, Kewory, Tazveitics, and the rest of tho rag, money crow, concentrated thelr forcos in the furnace and cosl-mine districts, and constant. 1y plied the laborers with thees delusions and glittering promisos wutll they had sgoured thelrvotas for the rag-money ticket, Brokon. down spoculators and impecunious mey who deapaired of the futuro caught at the same bait and also voted the ticket, Had not these people been misled by thir folly of chewp and diluted money, the majority would hava buen still grentor. Notwithstauding the extent of thiu delusion, notwitbatanding tho fact tuat the ensy nrguments were all oa tho eldo of the dilutionsts, and that the Republicans had to fight ignorance, oradulity, and prajudics with hard reasou, and notwithatanding the fact that this intlation fsaue was inavsheled and lad by mora of vigar und brains thon any other Dowocratic ivsue over cotamanded in Oblo, tho Republicans have suashed it by o decisive majority, ‘Fhio great viotory loows up, there. fore, plill grester when tho fearful odds acatnst which the Rennbloats aontendad are they may support for national purpoges, We think the indications are that sufficient interest mny be excited smong the tax-payers not to permit this election to go by default. Certainly overy Ropublienn, outside of thoso who Lave become idontifled with the baum- mers' combination as officcholders, will be enconraged by the Ohio vietory to do his duty as a voter, in order to rescue his own Lome from a worse condition of things, so far na Cook County tnx-payers nre concorned, than was threatened in Olio by the clection of AnteN. The return of the Liberal Ger- mane in that Stato, nlmost en masse, to the Republican party will exert ite influence on tho Germaus of Cook County, alrendy predis- posed to the same course. ‘There was no Re- publican ticket when they voted with the so- called People’s Party two years rgo, and thoy voted s thoy did on a quostion of personal rights, and not with the purpose or oxpecta- tion of providing the city and county with 8 set of officeholders who at onco plunder nnd disgrace them. Tho German tax-payers have 1no mord iuterest in sustaining this corrpt combina- tion of Foreign Know.Nothings than havo Amnerican tax-payers, aud even the plensuro of clecting Mr. Hesixa County Tressurel will searcely induce them to sacrifica their own interests nnd the intorests of the public. The reputable portion of the Democratio party have likewise come to the conclusion that they will not boe responsible for o con- tinuanco of tho present coudition of things. Tho seriousness of their determination in this regard is apparent from the simultaneous appoarance of & eall for a Democratio Con- veution gigned by gentlemen of excellent standing, and the passage of a resolution by theJefersonian Clubof o similar purport. The Jeffersonian Club have rosolved to nominate & ticket in spito of tho personal presonce snd opposition of Mr, Hrsvo, who isa promi- neat member of the organization. In other words, they refuso to act with tho tax-oaters, bummers, and scalawags upon whom Mr, Hrsive prefors to rely to elect him County Treasurer, They probably rosented Afr, Hearvo's gunouncement that there is ‘‘no TRIBUNE: THURSDAY.

Can ho tell why it is that all the men who have maney do not form into combinations for starting National Iianks, nnder the Free- Banking Iaw, if they can thereby earn double interest, when only one interest can be carned in any other way? Or, if the National Bank notes were retired, and tho National Hanks took their bonds, wonld not the United States CGovernment pay just ns muclt interest then a8 it does now? Andif au equal number of greeubacks wero dssucd in placo of the rotired bank-notes, would not Mr, Arustioxa sl his Granger friends have to pay just as much interest when they borrow greenbacks ns when they borrow bank notes? Or does Mr. AnvstroNe thiuk the Government is going into the lonning business, And loan money for nothing ? PILY A POCR PHROPHET, Prophesying is dengerous business rome- times, It was dangerous in Ohio day before yesterday, 'The Cincinuli Enquirer i doubtless convinced of that fact. Tho Zn- . quirer of Twesday morning had an editorinl poge made up mainly of bluff, not to sny brag. Oune of its paragrophs endod with this plensing bit of prophetic loro: *“ The votes to clect Arten will all be in tho box by 6 o'clock this ovening." Dat when 6 o'clock canio the votes were mot’in the box. That box, though swept bare, though ralked with n fine-tooth comb, though examined with mi- croscopes of unparnlleled juaguifying power, could not yiold up the votes that the fin~ quirer'd prophetio editor saw in it. In ono or wwo other cnses, this oracle grow Dolphic, He propounded certain statements which read, and wero meant to rend, like direct proplie- cies of success, Closer inspection shows, however, that a loop-liolo is loft for escape. 1t is n small loop-hole, and the inflated Zn- quircr must have sufiered considerable pain iu creeping through it, when tho darkners of Tueaday night proved to boa pall for Brn Avrey. Hero is one of these 'Tuesday talks, so nnkindly contradicted by Tnesday’s facts: “Tho meeting at Robinson’s Opera-ITonse last night, if it had eny significance, meaut victory to-day.” On thiy showing, it must be evident even to the Faguirer that the meet- ing at Robinson's Opera-Ifouse had abxolutely who thought it had mado a gi- gontic blunder, Unfortunntely for tho Zn- quirer, this is not the only narrow apertnro throngh which it must crawl. For Loere is o third quotation from ‘Inesday’s pa- per: ‘*The outsido was considered bright everywhere for tho cause of tho people—that of tho Demoerncy. The majority in this county will nstonish certain party calenla- tions,” This is true, but the truth is not that tanught by the Enquirer. The party calculn- tions that were natonished wero made in tho ZEnquirer ofilce, They ran in this way: *“Ar- LEN, 2,000 majority.” The votes ran just the other way., The prophet must wriggle through a very small hiole to get ont of this, But in somo instances Lo was too rash to leave acingle loop-holo, Tho longest edito- rial of Tuesday's Enquirer is headed, *What the Figures Soy.” 1t is pninful to relate that tho figures in question lied to this guile- less nowspaper in o wan er that was most disgusting—to it. ror the flgures sold and the prophot eaid: *‘The wholo Democratio ticket will then be elooted by a handsome majority.” That *‘ then” did not come, There is not even anugly majority,—n majority mede np of tramps, and paupers, snd bruigers. The propheoy has becomo a mockory, "Tho Enguirer made groat preparation to report the election. It had & nice sereen constructed ontside its ofiico and a big magic lantorn aimed at the gcreen, but the dissolv- ing fignres thrown upon the white surfaco mercly chronicled the dissolving hoped of the MoLean-PENDLETON-ALLEN-EwING-CAnY- crowd. Tuesdny's pnper contains a plain- tiva oppoal to the populaco to look at the sereen and not rush up-staira and bother the editors with quedtions. Tho resson for the request wes oxplained to be that the editors would have all they could do to grapplo with the returns. Thoy scom to have had more than they could do. The ve- turns grappled with them and knocked them out of time, That cofin which wasdrawn in the Exposition procession of Cincinnati should bs used to bury both the Ohio rag- baby and the hopes of the Cincinnati Fn. quirer. If there is any room loft, it can be filled up with & fow of the Presidential candi- such thing ns o Domocratic party in tho State of Dlinoie,” Thero are members of the Jef- forsonian Olub and gontlemen who signed the call for the Democratic Conventlon who will oither voto the Republican ticket or novervoto again in their lves, if there is noth- ing laft for them bat the disveputable mon. grel combination of tax-eaters who now call themselves the Oppasition. If Mr, Hesiva wanta to east his fortuna with that class of men, it is his privilege to do so; but he oan. not rengonably ask his old Republican friends nor hig new Democratic friends who own property in Cook County, or who have tho publie weltars st henrt, to followhim. Hemay possibly carry the Iriah portion of the Foreign. Know-Nothing combination with him, na we underatand ho is preparedto make new conces- sionato them; butwedonot helieve tlhio reputa.

People’s Party tlcket two years ago will vote with the same crowa this year, ‘There have been other rosults than those they contemplatod, and whether Dem- ocrats or Ropubllcuns thelr chief interest in the approaching local eleotion will be to save tho judiclary and the County Board from the throntenod proatitution to tho uses of the tax-eaturs, ‘The refasal of these ** Opposition " bum. mors who now control the polls to appoint a8 judges of clection—one out of thres at each voting precinct—the men selectod by the Republican Central Committes is pretty conclusive evidence that there 15 to be thue same repoating and ballot-box stuffing as in the charter election. If there were no such intention, there would have been no opposi- tlon to tho appointment of one maun at each poll whom the Itepublieaus could truat.

The Democratio party of Ohio made such an ap- peal, and the people aawered it with an em. phatlo rejection, Wao do not mean that all the people of Ohio wha voted for inflation wers ignorant end dishoneat; but wo do mean that all those who favor inflation from dishonest motives votod that way. The ques- tion of finance is more or less abstruse,. oand thousands of citizens, with entire honesty, who wero unoble to mnster the dlfferent phases of inflation were decelzed fnto voting for that which, had they understood it, they would have spurned with contempt. The entire burden of tho Domooratic ploa in Ohio waa toeo cheapen money that every man could pay his debta at the largest possible discount. The State of Olio wea a fuvorable State in whioh to make an {ssuo, Particawero nearly equally divided, Thore had boen a large deflection from the Republicans, which in 1874 had given the Demoorats a msjority of 17,000 votes, The Btato was, geographloally, mid. way between the East and tho West. ‘The. coal and {vop interests weye large in Ohio, and tho laboring population engaged in minjng and in fron.making had suffered so. veorely from the panio, and snxlously nocopts ed the promiac of moro greaubacks as n de- livorance from hard times, DBut despite all thewe favoring clroumstances the poople of Ohio rejected the offer of dishonest munoy. "Ihe oonsaquencea of this eloction will not be contlned to Ohlo, It was a national esue, —one {ntended to affect the palitios and businase of the whole ocountry, 'Lhe dlsas. trous defeat 0f Atz will stitfun the purposs of tho bayd-monsy’ Democraty all over the country, and it will carry aver to thon, as to the winnlug side, the multitude of Damoevats who kave heen indifferent on thosubjeot. 1t 7 will carry to thua the Boutharn Domocracy who want a Demoeratio Presidont and Coue gress without any reference to whether they be hard or koft.

Norcan they claim to earry Tlinois or Indinnn on that issue, when tha cirenmatances aro ovon lews favorablo than they were in Ohio, They lhave not anything to offer na n contribution to the general sue- enns which will not be Democratio ns well upon ® hard-noney ag wpon a soft-money platform, ‘the hard-money faction, thero. fore, will necessarily have ita own way in the Convention, and tho softs must abide their action, or seek an atlluity clsowhere. "I'ho effect of thir cloction upon the Repub- lican purty will by hardly less decided. It leavea the Republieau party no courso to pur- ano but fo adopt a resumption platform, and go unitedly in 1876 fnto the fight for sound moucy. In tho light of the Ohio clection any policy other than this niust be fatal. The Ttepublicans of Ohio hiave passed through a trinl of the most wunecxampled charecter. ‘Though there wna o strong bard-money ele- ment in the Democratie party of Obio, it did not aid the Hepublicans, but gave its undi- vided support to Arnrex. Tho conflict was one from which the timid shrunk, but it was bravely met, and the foremost Republicans of Ohio mado tho battle fairly and squarely. "Tho result shows the bad policy of lcsitation aud equivocation, and that truth and honosty aro invinciblo when presed upon the intel- ligence of the people. Wearefully Rware that there is a large hody of Republicans who are na zealous in favor of inflation a# were "PENDLETON and ALLeN. Of courso the larger part of thess will recog- uize the wisdom and necesslty of acting with their party, and will forego any attempt to comuit it to the defeated and abandened policy of tho Ohio Democrats, They will not think of taking up tho exploded policy of Biiu AuveN, S8ax Cary, and Tox Ewixo, fo indignantly spurned by the people of Obio, and which has not a decent following in any Eastern State. But there is a foction of men in the Democratic and Republican parties whosa polit- ical . relations ave subordinalo to their personal finnneial condition, These aro the spoculators and whelly or half-bankrupt operators whose fancy stocks, bonds, jobs, nnd visionary enterprises have never recov- cred from the collapso of 1873, Theso, with nlong list of demngogues already dicearded by their own parties, will constitute & party of imprecticablos which will cling to the 1ag-baby.

The emphatic repudiation by tho peoplo of Ohio of the appeal to thoir ignoranco nnd dishonesty will answor the taunts of Europoans that the peoplo, if left to themselvos, will ropudiate their debts and voto themselves fros of taxation. In 1868, the Democratic party proposed to pay the public debt with irredeemablo greenback serip, and the country overwhelmingly re. jectad it. The prbposition to repudiate all debts, public and private, and the national verdict on that question, is foreshadowed by tho Ohio eloction. ERGLAND'S FUGITIVE BLAVE LAW, Tho foreo of public opinion in Great Brit- ain hay again maonifested itself with signal succoes. The publication of a few lines of nows contalning the substance of a circalar isaued by the Lords of the Admiralty to naval officers was instantly followed by & swnrm of pungent editorials, movements to gat up pe- titions, and goneral remonstrance, The fo. vorito amuecment of the grievod Briton is to write to the papors. Ho did so in thie in- stance with a vigor that showed he was mora than usually in earnest. These first mutter. ings of tho gathering storm of public indig- nation scared the Admiralty into s haaty revo- cation of the offonsive cironlar. Itz original issuanco amounted to an ounaciment of a fugitive alave law strongly rezembling that of 1850 in this country, by which the slave. owners added fucl to the flame they wished to quench, Tho causs or protext for it was also much tho samo as that alleged at Wash. ington aquarter of a century ago. Numbers of glaves have escaped from thoir masters to British shipa lying at anchor in forelgn slave ports. ‘Tho flag has mado them free. Honce has como diplomatic complaint, correspond. ence, and trouble, Tho Admiralty, in the at- tempt to remedy this, committed the some blunder in the way of too stringent an enaot. wment that wefell into, Tho circular not only forbade the officors in charge of a ship to re. ceive o fugitive alave on board, except when Lis life was in danger, but actually directed that & slave who ranched the shelter of the Union-Jack should not be suffored to claim it “after it las heon proved to tho satisfaction of the officer In charge that ho is legally a slavo." As no man ia legally o slave on English soil, and so on English decks, this was tantamount to eaying that o British ehip in forelgn waters was subject to the jurladiction of the slave.laws of the par- ticular country. B8uch an sbandonment of principle was not only humiliating, but wrong; sud not ouly wrong, but inhuman, But the Lords of the Admlralty went boyond this, Thoy decreed that when n slave ese caped from n veagsel on the high sons to & British ship, and the latter afterwards touched at & port of the country to whioh tho first vessel belonged, the fugitive should **bo liabla to bo surrondered on demand be. ing medo, supported by necessary proofs.' Here wa hiave very nearly the same provielons 1 vegard to fugitive slaves on water that the United Btates enacted for fugitive slaves on land, "Iho reautt of thls wou, as wo linvs sald, on instentansous burt of publie indigastion, Tho clronlar has beon yevoked, Heoco. forth, precautions will be taken to keep fugl. tivou from Londage off Euglish ships, but it thoy onco reach thea tha yight of asylum, of which Evglund is so justly proud, will shield theta fyoin puranit.

The poor complain of it heecause it takos them from their work, and they lowe their wagen. "The wealthy clanses complain because they hiavo to associate with the refuse of the popu- Intion. Some mauufactorios havo had to bo closod beeauso the owners have hnd to tako arms nnd commenco training, 'Tho corre- spondent of the Boston Suturdey Krening Gazetle, in commenting upon the now law, predicts that it will prove the destruction of the French armny, and says: “The instant war is declared, theso maw re- oruita will be drafted into tho army, and there will be, on the commencement of bLoatilities, five raw rocruits in each regiment to one troined soldier; there consequently will be no army, but a throng of militia, which, on the battle-field, would be impossible to han- dle. The disastors of the lnst war.will seem light when compared to the ronts of tho next war, if this.military organization be main. tained.” To this might bo added that the irnining of thase raw recruits is merely super- ficinl as compsred with the tralning of the German militin. Tho French are trained for o few dags in the monual of arma; the Gers mans for wecks in the actual art of war, The Fronch mnke a holiday show of their training; the CGermans are subjected to ofl the Ilabor and fatigus of an active _enmpaign in its overy de- tail, excopt the slaughter of men. Anoth- cr feature of the exccution of this military Inw is the apprehension thet 1 giving mili- tary iraining to tho refuse population of towns and cities, they are training the Com- mune. The epirit of tho Communo was not supprossed by tho mnssacres following the closo of the Franco-German war. ‘The Com- mune still lives, The wealthy aro hated ns bitterly ag over. Thero ia still tho sumo do- siro for a general distribution of property, a genoral disrognrd of all lawe, and a gonoral extivpation of religionists that manifested it- solf o fow years ngo with terrible atrocity and cruelty, and it only heeds a goneral war to develop this desire into & demand. When tho next war comes with Germany ihe Commune will blnze out again and more formidably than beforo, ns the Communists under this new Inw will have had the benefit of military training which they did not have beforo, It is ovident tho Germans hava little to fear from the sudden spasm of military energy in France. They are evidently de- termined, however, not to be surprised by any oction of the Freuch Government, us. thoy followed up this new French neasure with an immengely-increased military appro- priation, The Russian authorities aroe troubled about 0 now intornal foo of the prosperity of the Empire. This is firve. There has been no rapetition of the Moscow calamity, but imi. tations of it on n small scale are of everyday occurrence, The annual loss smounts to many 1millions of ronbles. The ouly means of protection are volunteor five-brigades, aud these are few in number, Lightning is re- spousible for 4 per cent of tho fites, and in- cendlarism for & per cont.

Incandinvism is tho natural offect of such a condition of affairs, and it is not improbable that the pro- portion of incendiary fires ia much greater than the official figures admit.

Oneof the masses of cousonants who rule Russia might oome to Chicago and get some hints from our ordl. nancos of what such legislation should be, The Ioflation campaign in Ohio was fought by appesls to tho ignorant vote.

This policy was pursued to tho last, The ZEnquirer called especial attention to the fact that collogo-students oould not legally vote in the college-towns unless their parents lived there, 'This was o confession of weak- ness and a protest ogainst intelligence.
