Several million dollars has been received during the past two weeks and it is reported that botween seven and eight million is now on the way here. During the first six months of this year the United States lost about §70,000,000 in specio, and if the return tide continues at present proportions that large sum will all come back to the country be- fore December 1. There is some doubt, however, as 1o whether Europe will be disposed to part with so large amount of gold. According to late dispatches the Rothehilds and other great bankers agree that the shipments of gold to America will be large and that nothing can prevent it, but in the same connec- tion an emirent English financial authority is quoted as saying that before 50,000,000 in bullion is sent -to this country, hoth the Bank of England and the Bank of I'rance would raise their rates of dis- count and check the drain. In the opin- ion of this authority payment for Ameri- can grain will be made chiefly with exports and sccurities. But this coun- try will undoubtedly get k a large share of the gold that went ¢ ad this year, and it will be no disadvantage if a portion of the sound Americ; ities held abroad shall be urned. Weshould be quite as well off if they were all held here and the returns from them were kept in the country instead of being sent to Europe. There appears to be a feelir Europe that financial crisis in the United States is probable asa conse- quence of the large amount of paper that is being added to tho currency for the purchase of silver, but there is lit- tla ground for apprehending anything of thissort if the amount shall not be allowed to sed the present limit. There would Dbe reason to fear such a crisis if freo and unlimited silver coinage should pre- vail, but the country can absorb without danger the paper issued in purchase of the silver product of our own mine What is more to be feared in the imme- diate future is wild and reckless specula- tion, to which the conditions offera strong temptation. There has been a good deal of this alveady, and though tho damage done has not been widely felt the failures of speculators furnish a warning that ought not to pass un- heeded. It is in the power of the great financial institutions of the country to at least restrain speculation within rea sonable bounds, and both interest and duty should induce them 1o do th Magor MCKINLEY was greeted at Ot- tumwa, Ta, last Wednesday by a vast crowd, and his address was received with great enthusiasm. Ho discussed the tariif and silver questions with his usual clearness and force, and took ocea- sion to warn republicans against the - of ullowing the democrats to got into power and gerrymander the stato and provide for the clection of presidentinl electors by congressional districts. The Ohio republican leader made a strong speech and an excellent impression, and there an be no doubt that his visit to lowa will matevially help the republican cause. The outpouring of the people to hear him was of itself a reassuring sign. Tur Union Pacific government dircet- ovs are out with their annual apology for the unbappy financial condition of that railroad. It is obsi d that the directors do not place the responsibility for the pecuniary embarrassment upon the management which before competi- tion began to be felt, went on pocketing dividends and wastefully expending and diverting the large profits of conduct- ing the rond. The late difficulties necd not have presented themselves at all had the earlier history of the Union Pa- cific been move judicious, honest and businesstike. PEOPLE who aro inclined to oppose the pension Jawsof America are raferred to the fact that 13,220 pensioners were dropped last year by reason of death, There are 676,i60 names on the pension voll, and it will take a long time for all to pass out of, the world, but the old soldiers and their widows are dying at a rapid rate.

The recent characterization of Napolean by the German omperor us *‘the Corsican parvenu' has caused a great deal of com- ment, not all of it complimentary to the author of the romark. There is no dynasty now reigning in Europe, except that of Bernadotte, which owes less than tho house of Hohenzollern to hereditary right, and more to those native abilities of which kings, happily, have no movopoly. The first men« berof the family who emerged from obscur- ity was merely Burgrave of Nuremberg, and | he became Margrave of Brandenburg not by | conquest but by purchase—by the long purse and vot by the strong arm. It was not until the beginning of the last century —just sixty- eight years before Napoleon whas born that an elector of Brandenburg in his capacity of duko of Prussia ventured to put a king's crown upon his head, and he had to buy the recoguition of the title from the reluctant Hapsourg kmiser. [t was th contompt with which Mario Thercsa re garded the Hobenzollern upstarts, who had once esteemed it their highest honor to hold the stireup of her ancestors, that made it so hard for her to forgive the seizure of hor province of Silesia by Frederick the ( It was on the other hand, by a display of the surpassing uilitary and administrative tal en which he shared with the Corsican parvenu that tho same I'rederick raised his petty kingdom to a high place among the powers of Kurope. Ana to whom, pray, was the superb agerandizement of Prussia, which we in our own day kave witnessed, due, so far as it may bo ascribed justly to individual talent, 1f not to Bismarck, the son of a small landowner, who in England would be called a squircareb, and to Moltke, the sou of an obscure and ueedy Holsteiner, who was glad to procuro for his boy a soldier’s education at the expsuse of the Danish state, following in this respect with strange closeness the example of Boua- parte’s parents! Did the young emperor think of these things before he gave vent so rashly to his foolish contempt for parvenus! Of courso he did not. Buta man who will 1ot stop to think before he sveaks is lacking in the primary qualification of a sovereign. When any government of France can with easy assurance of its own invincibly hold upon the respect and affection of the peovle putout its hand to crush the power —the mob of Paris—which has again and again oer turned and created governments, that has been for more than 100 years the torror of all government, it 1s only fair to assume that the republican idea at length rests upon broad, deep foundations, and that the gov crnment of the Erench people, by and for the trench people, is not likely to perish, even though it be set up there in the heart of Europe, where 1t i3 surrounded upon all sides by other governments that look with disfavor upon 1t, and tho stability of which its endurance per- petually menaces or renders impossible In every country of Europo the political trend 1s in the direction of enlarged civil lib erty, a broader, more gencral recognition of popular rights, and the curtailment of the au- thority of personal government. Tho repub- lican idea has passed the experimental point in France; even thoe incident of the recent emeute in the Placo de I'Opera furnisne most gratifying proofs that behind and sup- porting tho government are tho wiil and power of the people themselves. “‘Paris 1s France'' is a saying the truth of which was long ago conceded, and Paris was, to a most dangerous degree, domiuated by the mob. “T'uat it, is 50 no longer, that tho government 1o mora fears 1t, that the authorities dare do what is right iu the faco of tho strongest prejudices of the mob, are indications of now and better conditions, which afford tho most gratfying assuraueo of tne perpetuity of tho Prench republic, If tho Russiaus thought that Bngiand had 50 far lost the spirit of other years, that in the mareh to Constautinoploshe might safely boleft out of account, they have found thew- sclvos mistaken, and the disoovery scems to bave wade upon them a deep and salutary impression. They bave made haste to dis- claim, not indeod oficially, but through jouruals which only print what the govern- ment sauctions, any special rights in the Dardanelles for IRussia, and tho recognized ministerial orzan in St. Potersburg makoes the oxtraordirarily and exceedingly siznifi- cant suggestion that England and Russia become allies instead of enomies, the con- sideration on the oune hand Laing friendly neucrality m Europe, and on tho other a recoguition of English rights in Hindostan, It is scarcely possible that these overtures should lead to any definite action, but that they should be made shows clearly enough what an effect the counter-demonstration at Mitylene has had upon the Kussian mina. The Mityleno coup de main was the most masterly stroke in foreign politics exocuted by auy nglish statesman s ol s cured control of the Suez canal by the pur- chase of the Khedive's shares, and sinco England, after all said and doue, represents progressive civilization and Russia quite tho contrary, Americans must feel gratified ut the exhibition which has been made of Eng- lish spirit. It is possible that the shortest road to a re- duction of the burdens of Kuropo from vast armaments may bo found to lio through the increase of them. As the nations best able 1o afford the increase withdraw a larger pro- portion of their young men from productive industry, aud spond a larger sharo of tho na- tional product upon the army, and as they are imitated by nations loss able to do this, there must come a time when the whole sys- tem will break dowa under its own weight, That point has nearly been roached in Rus- sia, which, as the least civilized and loast modern of Earopean countries, is the loast able to sustain the burden of war taxes gravated as they are by official ext and corruption, Accordiug to some ers, Italy is approaching the suwe point througl her anxicty to rank as a military power with richer and moro populous na tions. Atany rate, it is impossivle to seo how relief is to come, unless it comes from the carrying to an intolerable oxtremo of tho exiating system of & maximum force in timo of peaco. If diptomacy can find no common ground of understanding with regard to where the lines shali be conclusively drawn between Bugland aud Lussia in tho cast—and itscoms to the most sagacious statesmen of Europe 1mpossible to find such gronud-—-than sooner or later the question mast be submitted to the arbitrament of the sword. The day of submission may bo near or remote, bat it is the common belief that it will not bo delayed beyoud the timo when Russia fecls ready to meet her adversary afield. The work of | proparation, of diplomatic scheming in Turkey and in the Balkans, ana of warlike | preparation at every point of vantage, have been procecding for many years as parts of Russin's comprehensivo plun, and that plan is ovidently to be put in execution when thoroughly wrought out; she, like Hanilet, considering that ‘‘the readiness is all’ Meanwhile the ground between England and ssia is covered with dry stubble, to which ill-consid 1 D contem. ted delib te act by either country may suddenly apply the torch ~ Heavy Fallure in Austealia, Mrrsovksy, Sept The Australian Mercantile Losu company 1s hopelessly in solvent. ‘The ussots are placed at $200,000 | and tho liab ) ostimated at $30,000. | 518 FountreNTn Steer, Wasmisaroy, D.
