It contained four more pages than the largest previous Issuc, It had more reading matter, more advertise- ments, represented a far greater Investment, circulated more widely, aud brought In better returns than any regular edition of a Chicago wewspaper before printed, Not only was tt the biggest newspaper Chicago has ever known, but it was in many respects tho best, lb wags complote tn every respect. It wns an epitome of the world’s news,—both of this world and tho world to come, the present and the hereafter. Sacred aud pro- fang literature were Illustrated In its pages. It was the most remarkable newspaper ever Issued on this continent, not only tor the Mmount and variety of its reading mattor, out for the rapidity with which ft was pre- aared and put'to press, At 10 o'clock on Saturday morning nota ine of It hud been put-In type, while at 4 o'clock on Sunday morning It was ready fur dellvery to news agents. ‘Tho whole porlod of its preparation was dighteen hours, and it was on the street and for sale hours before any rival publica- tion.

It presumes upon the ignorance and gullibility of ite renders, and attempts to cram down their throats mammoth fictlons concerning its “ enterprise” and lavishness which ex- ist only In its imagination. ‘We assert and are prepared to prove that it has for months past regularly printed forged enble dispatches; that tho alleged “ Inter- view” with Rochefort was such a forgery; that the “Interview” with Louise Alichel was another; that the account of tho marrlago of the Princess Stephanie was another; that the alleged forecast of clinnges in the Old and New Testnment was another, and the most audacious of all, ‘The venerable swindler who fs responsiblo for these forgeries and boasts of them has beun repeatedly challenged to produce re- ccipts from the cable company to show that he recelyed any of the aforesnid dispatches by ocean cable, and he has uniformly de clined the \chatlenge, He therefore stands self-convicted of fabricating telegrams and claiming tha eredit of “enterprise” for his own audacious frauds, i ‘The last and most brazen attempt to de- ceive the public was committed by the Wells street concern Inst Saturday morning. It then -printed what purported to be'the re- vised edition of the Four Gospels of the New ‘Testament, but what was in fact ton great extent the King James version, published in 1811, verbatim, et Uteratim, ef punctuathn, It actually presumed to such a dogros on the ignorance of the Now Testament among its readers a8 to glvo them column after col- umn of tho Gospels us printed 270 years ago, and attempted to palm it off on them for tho revised New Testainent.

THE SORUIIN DE LIATE. ‘The practical bonetits arising from Gam- betta’s triumph in forcing the scrutin-de- ‘Uxte mode of yoting through ‘the Chamber of Doputtes remain to be tested, All that Is certain f¥ that it will give Gambetta great power, artd will tend to ceritralize and con- solidity tho Republican strength by wiping out of existence the almost innumerable fac- tions that now swarm fn the Chamber and fiuetuate from une alde of: the great questions to another with a rapliity, and at times with desperation, that sortotisly embarrasa ‘tho Government. From our own polltical polit of view, tho off form of the serutin @arrondisacment seems the best ond most avallable; in fact, the other form would open the way te auch underhand work and corruption that it would not be tolerated’ here beyond a single campalgu. Under the serutin d'urrondlasement each representative district in France elects ils own member exactly ns we clect Congress- nen, ond ng this best serves the purpose wn- der our form of goveriinent, it is hard to seo why tt ts not the best under a similar forin of goverment in another country. By the seru- Unede-late aystont tho representatives from a certain number of districts are wlected nvon one Licket, as we elect Presidential Electors, or as if the voters of Chleago should vote for all the Congressmen from this State upon one ticket, There ts this distinction to be made, however, between the French and our own people, that whils Americans nro coimpira- tively cool nud cals in thelr elections, thor oughly catvass candidates, and are actu- nted by n desire to sudtire good mon, who In turn ar6 expected to cary out their wishes and completely represent them, thus making their party a unit In Congress, the French are actuated by impulse, passion, and local prejudice, and thelr candidates are not ex- empt from the sane Influences, so that they Are quite a3 apt to bo elected to gratify fancy or cnprice na to satisfy the demands of prin- elple, and therefore as frequently represent fancy or caprice as they de the party or its polley. A body electol in this manner eane not by homogeneous. It naturally divides It- self Info factions, representing all sorts of local {ssues, and ins time of emergency {ts unaniinity is not always assured. This‘ has happened over and oyer again to the French Ohamber, and the Republican lead- ers have frequently found it to bodifioult, if not impossible, to marshal their forcus for a concerted movement. By the scrutin-do- liste system the Republicans in the Chamber willbe much moro Skely to represent tho party, the Governmont will be more strongly consolluated, factions will be dispersed, and there fy this porsonnl ndvantuge to the lead- ors: that thoy will be ennvied to strongthen thelr hold yon olflce and power,—nn advan- tage, however, which would not ba looked upon favorably in this country. Under our political methods, indeed, the scrutin de Uste would open wide the gates to corruption ond bad practices, Were such a system in vogue here all the candidates from an entire State, for instance, would be decided upon in one Convention, and that Convention would bein the hands of n ring of party- lenders who would manipulate It to sult thelr own purposes, and {n the case of Bad men those purposes could be all the moro ensily cnrricit out, because It would be simply Ine possible for the electors to cnuvags the cinine of so many candidates, or to form: an intelll- gent fdoa of their murits, thelr ability, thelr records, or evon of thelr personal character, The people would Iterally bo at the merey of tings. Under such o system there would une questtonably be a representation of the party, but thore inight not bo a representation of principles, and there would not be areprosen- tation of tho people, ‘The latter would scarcoly haves yoleo in polltics, This must of ne- cessity be the result in France, anid tho ad- vantage therefrom hinges upon tie question whether such a consolidation of power and assertion of party Is botteradapted to French Kepublicanisin thon tha active participation HE the people and tholr personal represonta- jon. sie eres EUROPEAN TAXES ON FOOD. The peopte of Franco and of Sweden, and of other countries In Europe, aro just now brought face to face with ono of the grontest ofall soolal questions that oan arlee Inany Jnnd. In all these countrics it is now an established fuct that the production of bread- stuifs fa insufllclent, and that to sustain Ife among the population grain must be brought in from beyand tha State Ines, and that this grain must, directly or indirectly, bo ob- tained from the United States. Sweden has, of course, to smport Amertenn whout; but Bweden has also found it necessary to hin- port Ainerioan cory fn order to furnish food for the live stock of the country and supply the population with beef and othor ments, Tho howe producers havo demanded and obtained = from the Government.an {inport tax on corn, not for: tho purpose of revenue, but to kaon up tho price of grain, and espeolally of patatdes. This tax fa a tax on food; It Iss tax upon those who undertake to foed enttle. ltis a tux Ou corn entering Into use as bread, and 4 tax'dn those who are trylog to incronsa the supply of meat,na well a3 upon those who keew'cows for dilry purposas and’ who falsv anq.Work borses. 'Tho Parllament of Sweden iy,,just, now wrestling with the problem whothor it Is chcapor to Jet the Fuovle buy food for thowselves.and thelr live stock cheaper than it can be produced ‘and sold for at home, or, whether the privilege shall be Jimited to buylug al] tho food they peed, pay- ing :therefor a tux to wake {ts cost equal to what it can be purchased for in Sweden, An France there ts just now ah even more exolting question as to the tax that shail be placed ot: American dour, Tho question ls , at this ttmo and tu tts present shape ogitated by tho Freneh millers, They are not pro- duvets, ‘They ate nianufacttirors, Thoy grind tho wheat brought to thelr milla, ‘They object that tn the United States tho flour ailts are planted In the wheat districts; that the Americnus reduco their whent to four; that they cnn transport the tour made from Agiven qunniity of wheat to France at lesa cost than the whent itself enn be transported, and that therefore they can deliver flour In Franco at a less prices than ean the French milters using the Bane Amerienn wheat. They demand, therefore, of the Freneh Par- linment that the new tariil shall impose auch on tax on American flour #8 will) cut off tho importation of such flour into France, enabling the French iniilers to have a monopoly of all the mantl- facture of Nourfratn American whent. Tho millers of France demand protection against the mills of Minneapolis, They elatm that France concedes much when it permits Atterlenns to sell thelr wheat In France. ‘This concession Ie probably extenuated in thor minds by the fnot that the whent pro- ductlon of France fs ottogethor Insumictont to meet the popular necessity for food, and ‘that thd more wheat brought into France tho greaterthe work and the greater tho profit of the nilllers, Nevertholess, the question comes back (rectly as tu tha polly of taxing the food- supply of the cotintry, Shall tho bread of tho people of France be taxed for the ex- elusive benefit of the millers? ‘The doficlency in tho national supply of bread has to be supplied from America. ‘Ifa country enn furnish the wheat, or It can furnish the wheat in the form of flour, the Intter made 80 economtenily that It can be furnished cheaper than the French mills can produco {t. ‘Ihe millers ask the Government to Inter- pose Ity authorily by go taxing the Amorican fluur that Its widnufacture must be trans- ferred to France, . The trouble.is, that the duty on American whent hag alrendy boon increased to protect the home producers, ‘The latter took enro of themselves, and leftthe millers outside, Now thomlllers want protection alsy, nud, of course, will got it, and tho net rosult will be that, whethor In the form of wheat or flour, the consumers of France will lava to pay a round sum of tax on every pound of brewtl, Nor Is the tax ona fron which they can pos- sibly escape. France must iniport wheat or flour, Ibis not an optional purchase, and ft must pay what tho murkuts of the world de- mank Whatever that price may be tne tax will be n self-imposed addition to the cost of every man’s lont of bread.
