MAHONE AND HILL.
Senator Hill, of Georgia, made an ex
traordinary exhibition of himself in his
attack upon Mahone of Virginia. Such a
catalogue of threats and entreaties as the
irate Georgian hurled at his colleague on
this occasion is seldom heard. What end
he expected to serve by his invective it is
impossible to imagine. Mahone had evi
dently made his bargain, and he was as a
matter of course going to perform the con
tract. The scene was not an edifying one,
no matter from what standpoint regarded.
The position of Mahone was no doubt such
as to afford him some excuse for voting
with the Republicans, but there* can be
so question that he was elected primarily
as a ' Democrat, and that ho could not
have been elected had he been supposed
to be anything else than a Democrat.
As to his independence of the Democratic
caucus, it is well enough as a defense
against Hill, but nobody believes that
the Senator from Virginia has made
his choice disinterestedly, or that
he does not expect to do better with the
Republicans than he could have done with
the Democrats. - m He has in fact made the
best of his market, and that is the plain
and obvious explanation of his decision.
He ii*.d a particularly advantageous posi
tion, and he has availed himself of it with
a business shrewdness which a Connecticut
Yankee might envy him the possession of.
There is really no room for any thought of
public spirit or true independence in the
transaction. Mahone was enabled to
change his colors without making himself
absolutely infamous, antjrhe has done so.
The i Democrats, however, had nothing to
gain by attacking him, and as a fact the
assault of Hill made for his antagonist, for
it offered him the opportunity to parade
his independence quite valiantly. We do
not think the incident deserves much re
mark ; but the best thing about it was
Hoar's speech, which, though not alto
gether relevant, was adroit and of a pop
ular cast.
PRESS ASSOCIATIONS.
The most remarkable feature about Press
Associations as a rule is that they do not
represent the press. There is one of these
curious organizations at present wandering
in a processional way about the southern
part of this State, attending banquets,
' holding . receptions, making speeches, and
disporting itself generally in a very florid
and pretentious way. Vet a careful ex
amination of the list of persons composing
the party shows that there are no repre
sentatives of • any considerable journal
present, and that in fact the newspapers
which are naturally thought of when the
press is spoken of are conspicuous by their
absence. '.Who the greater number :, of
these : Press Association holiday-makers
really are we do not know. . Some of them
hold indirect relations to the press. Some
perhaps are occasional correspondents and
contributors. But certainly none of them
stand . for the press of the State in any
real or large sense, nor do they represent
any J appreciable element of journal
istic influence or thought. Why people
who for the most part possess no title to the
name of journalists should specially delight
< to masquerade under that title, we do not
' know. True journalists arenot at all fond of
parading themselves. Having a real pride
in and reverence for their profession, they do
not relish the : studied publicity of these
. expeditions, and: they especially revolt
from the implied : idea ; that : they are ac
customed to sponge their way, and to look
upon such .sponging :as a professional
privilege. The people who see these Press
Associations : on their travels should con- i
sequently understand that they . seldom or
never represent the " press, and that the
habits and customs of journalism are not
to be learned from any study of their pro
ceedings. ; This' explanation appears to us
to be in some measure necessitated by the
notoriety which the spurious press tourists \
are so eager to seek, by any means what- j
ever, ' - '
JUSTUS SCHWAB AND MODERN COM
MUNISM.
When Mr. Justus Schwab heard of the
assassination of the Czar he hastened .to
decorate ) his beer cellar, to hoist his red
flag, and to intimate to such as ■ cared' to
question him that he regarded this event
as heralding revolutionary movements
which would not be confined to the conti
nent of Europe. In fact he was frank
enough to express the opinion that the
fate of the Russian Emperor was nothing
less ■ than a warning ;to those Americans
who have incurred the deadly hostility of
the Schwabites by prospering and acquir
ing great wealth. Such men, he implied,
as Vanderbilt and Jay Gould, were marked
out for destruction, and their day of grace
would be short. We have no doubt that
scores of thousands of people read those
statements yesterday with mingled disgust
and contempt. We "have no doubt that
numbers of men who are . proad to regard
themselves as patriots and reformers, and
who believe that it is becoming necessary
in some way to curb the influence of ; the
wealthy minority of operators and capi
talists, failed, in reading of Justus Schwab,
to recognize any point of contact between
the purposes of the class represented by
that swaggering ruffian, and the purposes
which they themselves are pursuing. ,
It is equally certain that if it had been
revealed to the French Encyclopedists a
century ago, that the agencies they were
employing so exultingly and with so im
plicit a faith in their beneficence, would
produce the Reign of Terror, and lead up,
through anarchy and national ' ruin, to a
sterner despotism than ever, they would
have shrunk amazed and incredulous
from the . prospect, and -would have dis
claimed all kinship with such tendencies
and such results. Could Rousseau have
known that his sentimental humanitarian
ism would have been invoked !to justify
the no jades of Carriere, the massacres of the
Prisons, and the prolonged butcheries of
the Place de Grove, he, too, would have
scoffed at the prediction. But the men
who sow the seeds of revolutions are never
the men who reap the harvest, and it is
very seldom that the sowers know what
manner of crop they are preparing.
Justus Schwab may very well be taken
to represent the element of reckless destruc
tiveness which always comes to the front
when the season of discussion has cul
minated, when popular passion has been
thoroughly heated, and when the higher
intelligences which wrought the conversion
have at last lost their hold upon the
masses. He stands for the Commune as
it appeared at Paris in 1793, and again in
1871. To-day, perhaps, this element is
controllable, though it must be pointed out
that whoever suggests assassination as a
right and justifiable resort is a public
enemy, inasmuch as there are everywhere
weak and inflammable natures capable of
being spurred on to crime by such sinister
suggestions. The man who talks of assas
sination and couples the names of promi
nent . citizens with such talk, is a mis
chievous scoundrel, and ought to be in
dicted. But it is not the Justus Schwabs
from whom at present the main danger
proceeds. Their time has not yet come.
It is the well-meaning men who under the
specious disguise' of public spirit are at
tacking the foundation principles of civil
ized society, who are to be feared.
Nothing is so easy as to promote agita
tion against the rich. The reason of this
lies on the surface. The protest of human
nature against the inequalities of condi
tion, of capacity, of opportunity, is unceas
ing, and where political power resides in
the masses there is always more or less dis
position to employ this power for the pur
pose of redressing the balance, or attempt
ing to redress it. The leaven of social
antagonism between the pftor and rich
which destroyed the republics of Greece, ex
ists to-day in American society, and it can
be so dealt with a.3 to make it leaven the
whole nation. The nature of our institu
tions renders it unavoidable that those who
seek political elevation should constantly
flatter the majority, should constantly re
mind them of their sovereignty, and should
perpetually assure them that their will is
the supreme law of the land. And to-day
the tendency of this vast machinery of
demagogism is toward the stimulation of
all the latent antagonism between the poor
and the rich. The very institutions upon
which our fathers mo3t prided themselves,
the very liberty whose establishment they
regarded as their crowning triumph, these
are now assailed under the pretext that the
public well-being demands such a policy,
and propositions are advanced the adoption
of which would instantly destroy the sym
metry of the political fabric, and insure its
swift collapse.
It has in years gone by been the not
vainglorious boast of Americans that their
institutions afforded free play to all hu
man aspirations : that under these institu
tions men could shape their own destinies ;
that no inequalities existed but such
as came from natural superiority ; ; that
every prosperous citizen of this republic
was in .the broad sense of the term self
made. But now a change has passed over
the popular view, and all these ideas ap
pear to be fading out of sight. To-day it
is claimed that the republic is menaced by
an excess of freedom ; that citizens are
developing, through a too sagacious use of
their opportunities, overshadowing power;
that the free play of ability and enterprise
needs to be curtailed and restricted ; and
in fine that the people are somehow justi
fied in resuming possessions which are be
coming too considerable to be safely held
by individuals. This is the doctrine of
confiscation, however concealed, and it is
a doctrine which has. already found recog
nition not alone upon the stump, not alone
in the wild debates of socialist clubs, but
in the decisions of the court of last resort,
the grave and dignified Supreme Court of
the United States.
But such a doctrine, once admitted, can
not be : prevented from spreading beyond
all : original ) anticipation. With the ter
ribly elastic theory of popular sovereignty
behind it, rendered more formidable by the
interpretation of demagogism, there is prac
tically no limit to its extension. ... With' a
political system ever increasing in corrup
tion through the application of the spoils
principle ; " with the ■ premiums ■ on '■ time
serving and servility afforded by the same
agency ; : with the - perpetual - temptation
which assails public men to care only how
they stand with the masses, and to : thrust
conviction away from them ; ; tlje tendency
must become stronger all the time towards
an explosion. . ."The poor," a pro
phetic : Southern ■. statesman ; a generation
; ago, "will ) not ' always " remain' poor .with
"the ballot in their hands." And indeed
a superficial study of history is sufficient
to show - that where political power and
poverty are united, the natural result is
inevitably a crusade against wealth. ;
There are > unhappily many , who fail to
see that unless freedom is complete it must
soon cease to exist. It is impossible to
introduce restrictions,-; prohibitions, dis
criminations, into a democratic form of
. . -„-_-. • * Th ii ii.imi ITi „d it ..mum. f?.. 1.1 ii.i.Jn Hi
government, without paving the way for
anarchy.: The least invasion of : the broad
principle of equal rights must be fatal.
The moment majority rule ' ceases .": to be
controlled •by . impartial ' justice, it is
transformed into the most odious and in
tolerable tyranny. No tampering with
democratic ' institutions is ■ . permissible.
Break down the rule of equality of op
portunities, which is the cornerstone "of
liberty, and - the steps . by which the
final descent into chao3 will be made, are
no longer to be avoided. '';■ It is the failure ;
to recognize this which constitutes the '
chief peril of the ; present time. ; We are
going on slowly bat steadily in the direc
tion of the precipice. We ' are being
drawn by degrees into the rapids which
precede : Niagara, and because their roar
is but faintly i heard as yet,, we appear to
imagine that it has no significance for our
ears. .'
After the Encyclopedists the Sansculottes.
After the philosophers the assassins. After
the anti-monopolists the Justus Schwab?.
That has been the : uniform experience ; of
mankind in the past. Can it be . believed
that the American people are exempted
from the operation of universal laws ? It
does not matter how sincere our agitators
are, nor how firmly they are convinced of
the justice of their positions. The tact
remains that they are undermining the
fundamental principles of civilized society,
and that the success of their-«ndeavors
must result in the collapse of the whole
political and social edifice. 5We owe all
our progress, all our prosperity, all our ad
vances of every kind and degree, to the un
trammelcd operation of those agencies
whose latest manifestation are now being
viewed with so unreasoning an apprehen-
si on. It is to these influences and activi
ties that the marvelous growth of the
United States in a single century, from a
feeble and isolated cluster of colonies to a
great and powerful nation of fifty millions,
i 3 attributable, 1 Lot us beware how we
imitate the example of the monarch in the
Arabian tale who, at the zenith of his pros
perity and power, was '. induced to sever
1 with an ax a rope which had sustained
aloft a massy stone, whose ; fall buried
sultan and court and palace and all, in sud
den and hopeless ruin.
PENSION FRAUDS.
The cheerful announcement is made by
the Commissioner of the Pension Bureau
that the country is being robbed through
that office, or rather through the pension
law, at the rate of about two millions of
dollars a year. This is the somewhat high
price which the American people are called
upon to pay for the pleasure of witnessing
that contest of demagogism between ■: the
two parties in Congress which led to the
enactment of the pension arrears bill. That
bill was as plain a machinery for theft as
was ever ' framed, and when it was intro
duced the press pointed this out. But a
Presidential election was coining on, and
so neither party had the courage to take a
position which the other would have been
certain to interpret as a malignant assault
upon "the brave soldiers who saved the
" Union." So the bill was passed, and ever
since it has been the means of supporting
thousands - of - impudent scoundrels who
ought to be in the penitentiaries, while it
has done little good to the genuine soldiers
for whose ostensible benefit it was enacted.
At present, as the Commissioner states,
the frauds undet it amount to some
$2,000,000 per . annum. Congress could
not be induced to appropriate a tenth part
of that sum for a single year to save the
Sacramento valley from destruction, but
when a little political capital is in question
no expense is thought extravagant, and so
we presume the steal under the pension
bill will continue, lest any attempt to re
form the abuse should . cause someone to
be accused of wishing to deprive the poor
soldier of his pittance..
THE TERMS OF THE BOERS.
i If, as stated, the terms proposed by the
Boers are such as cannot be accepted, the
Boers have made a mistake. The Glad
stone Government is evidently encounter
ing a strong hostile public sentiment in
ottering them terms at all under the exist
ing circumstances, and should they be un
reasonable in their demands the Govern
ment will very probably be unable to
maintain its position, and may be com
pelled to renew hostilities. And though
the Boers have been very successful in
their defense thus far, their leaders must
be well aware that it is "impossible for
them to hold out for any length of time
against the full power of England. Re
sistance, in fact, can only, if persisted in,
result in their destruction ; while they
have certainly done enough to justify them
in accepting almost any just and reasona
ble terms.. It cannot be pretended now
that they are beaten ; but if they render a
continuation of the war unavoidable, it is
very certain that they must be defeated in
the end, and of course this consideration
makes it impracticable for them to demand
such terms as would be . reasonable be
tween Powers of equal'strengtb/]^^^^^g

WORK OF THE NIHILISTS.
Paris, March loth. 1 — A letter from Geneva
in the Intransiynenl says : After the abortive
attempt at the ; Winter j Palace,' the police
seized 400,000 francs, constituting the Nihil
ist fund, and until they had gotten together
more money the revolutionary party I were
obliged to keep quiet. Warnings were,' how
ever, repeatedly sent to the ■ Emperor, the
last one reaching him fit the 3d instant, but
all were disregarded. The assassination was
determined upon to divert the police. The
Nihilists let it be supposed that the explo
sives were being manufactured in London,
while they were being prepared at St. Peters
burg. The fatal bombs were loaded by
women.- The writer adds : There is no Ni
hilist by the name of Roussakoff. Rochefort
prefaced the above by an article in 'which he
offers a wager that before twelve months
passes Alexander 111. will have granted Rus
sia a constitution.
Voltair has a telegram that the entrails of
the Emperor literally gushed out when the
bomb struck him. An anonymous letter an
nouncing the intended assassination was sent
to Princess Dolgourovki Sunday morning.
She endeavored to persuade the Emperor to
stay at home. Placards proclaiming " Death
to | Alexander " and warning his successor
that if he did not adopt a liberal policy he
would share his father's fate were placed on
all the streets .in j St. Petersburg Sunday
evening. Voltair councils the new Czar to
break at once with Bismarck and the Ger
mans, and says: "Our wishes are neither
untimely nor impertinent that the new Czar
will be French enough for us if thoroughly
Russian." : . * .;; ■;- •• • . .-; * ;>.

The Minister of the Interior states that one

corpse of the man who evidently threw, the
second bomb, and was himself -mortally
wounded, recognized his accomplice. The
house from which Roussakoff obtained the
bombs has been discovered, j As soon as the
police appeared the male : occupant shot him

THE NEW EMPEROR and the traditions OF
the old. .-".:;■ fj>
Chicago, March loth.— Times' Berlin
special says : Russia, having assumed a
commanding attitude toward the rest of Eu
rope, and affected a tone of defiance regard
ing her foreign policy, it is rendered neces
sary that she shall fully expose her present
position. The immediate effect of the death
of the Russian Emperor will, it is expected,
exercise a wholesome influence upon the home
affairs of the Empire. The new Emperor, it
is believed, possesses the requisite elements
for soothing down existing differences among
the nobility, and reconciling that | portion of
the aristocracy who showed signs 01 disaffec
tion because of the measures of -progress un
dertaken by the late Emperor. The opinion
is generally entertained that the new Em
peror will follow the traditions of his early
predecessor in endeavoring to make the Rus
sian Empire dependent on her own resources.
The development of the latter has been
hitherto largely controlled by foreigners, to
.whom the new regime will prove inimical.
FRENCH VIEW OF THE NEW RCSSIAN REGIME.
Paris, March 15th. — The new Emperor of
Russia is almost entirely ignorant of : the
affairs of State. He will probably speedily
set aside his father's advisers. Privy Coun
cilor Pofedoncza would bring with him bias
and narrowness, such as would not allay in
ternal or foreign disquietude. As to the
domestic policy, neither the Czar's personal
capacity nor his friends and advisers, nor the
circumstances of his accession, warrant the ex
pectiorr* that his inauguration " will assure
a more conciliatory or liberal course. Indi
cations are ' that he •_ will " adopt repressive
measures. - " :
The Czar is said to be anti-German, but
this is a vacue expression. Greece has now un
questionably a zealous champion in the Em
press of Russia. Her first , effort will , be
directed toward a policy more favorable to
Greece. This might open up a prospest dis
quieting Europe, but for the hope that Tur
key, taking note ■of these bearings, will
promptly avert the danger by making ■ neces
sary concessions to Greece. .-■■

French Plans for Monetary Conference.
Berlin, March 15th. — The morning | jour
nals here profess to give the French proposal
to be submitted to the Monetary Conference
as a basis of discussion. It takes the form of
a, draft of the Convention of eleven articles,
according to which consenting parties would
constitute themselves a bimetallic union.
Each member would permit unlimited coin
age of gold and silver in proportionate value
of one to fifteen and a half. It would be
optional for the contracting countries to alter
or retain the coinage of dollars, francs,
pounds or marks. Any person would have
the right of gratuitous coinage . in any of the
countries or the immediate exchange of coin
for bullion at a deduction not exceeding two
pr thousand, gold and silver coins to be
legal tender of the State coining them. Each
Government is to settle the quantity and
quality of its own issue. The acceptance of
silver is to begin the same day in all the con
senting countries. The Convention is to re
main in force until the year 1900. „ ■ 2JS?^I
The ; Bismarck 'Scandal.
Berlin, March loth. — Count Herbert Bis
marck has certainly eloped with Princess
Elizabeth Carolath Beuthen. Both arrived
at Messina several weeks ago. The Princess
is the wife of Prince Charles of Carolath Beu
then, Count of Schonarch and chief of one of
the first Prussian families, and a hereditary
member of the upper hi use. . The faithless
wife is a step sister of Prince Hermann of
Hatzefeldt Trachenberg, head of a Catholic
family bearing the title since 1741, and a
daughter of the Countess of Reichenbach.
She has one daughter, Princess Sybilla, now
14 years of age. Prince Carolath, who is 36,
has left Parliament and retired to his estates
in Silesia. He will commence a divorce suit.
Count Herbert Bismarck, whose age is 32,
was formerly Secretary to his father, who had
destined him as his chief assistant and event
ual successor. It is said that this domestic
calamity is the chief cause of Bismarck's re
cent irritability and bad humor.

marked that the house of Legislature under

assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The

Washington, - March 15th.— The Navy
Department .to day paid §100,000 for the

is arranging the details of the expedition, and

ing dog-sledging and other matters bearing
on Arctic exploration. ' ,
In to-day's Cabinet meeting there was a
general expression of sympathy for the Impe
rial family and the Russian people in their
bereavement. The prompt action of the
Senate in adopting , appropriate ; resolutions
was commended. It was decided to telegraph
the Senate resolutions,' and Secretary Blame
cabled them to Minister Foster at St. Peters
burg, with a request that he transmit a copy
to the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
UNITED STATES BONDS— MASS OK REQUIEM.
Washington, March — The amount
of United States bonds deposited by the
banks which had previously withdrawn them
is §900,000. The. amount previously depos

§1,100,000.
Fathers Bjerring and Lopuchin, in the
Russian Embassy, to-day celebrated a mass
of requiem lor the Czar. * The members of
the Legation were in deep mourning, and the
mansion was heavily draped. At the close
of the service the Legation kissed the cruci

were present. The , Diplomatic Corps and
families was fully represented.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Washington, March loth. — It is supposed
that the Democrats are in caucus now rear
ranging committees in accordance with last
evening's developments in the Senate. Some
of the Democratic Senators refused to go in
to caucus this morning, not derying that
they were disgusted with the caucus agreeing
to % line of action and then disregarding it.
The Democrats who staid out are those
who insisted upon prompt organization while
the Democrats had the majority. The caucus
this afternoon engaged in a discussion over
the action of the party, in which consider
able criticism was indulged in, because of the
alleged waste of time in effecting the organ
ization. Some who are angry at the dilatory
action of the Democrats, Bay they might as
well give up at once, but evidently the Demo
cratic plan of action will be to let matters re
main as now, and not force action until the
Republican vacancy is filled, and. then sub
mit to the majority, h „ .
PRESS COMMENTS ON MAHONB'S COURSE.
NOT York, March loth.— Herald's
Washington special ■. says as to Mahone's
course : It is not only honorable to him, but it
is wise for his State. It is bitterly denounced
to-night by a handful of Virginia Republican
spoilsmen, whose effort has been for many
years to keep the Republican party in their
State as small as possible, in order that each
of these grumblers might have as much pat
ronage to divide as possible. " Mahone's posi
tion breaks the solid Democracy of Virginia
and breaks the solid South, and Hill's abuse
of Mahone will help to do it. Every legiti
mate interest in Virginia has reason to rejoice
that Mahone is man enough to repudiate the
Bourbons in the Senate as he last year re
pudiated and defeated the Bourbons in his
own State. If Democratic Senators like Hill
of Georgia are furious, it is because they see
that the intelligence and progressive spirit of
the South are weary of the Democratic party,
recognizing that it is a hopeless organization
as now constituted, and that in the South
particularly it bars tho way to all healthful
progress.
The Tribune says: The incident is chiefly
important for what it promises. If it means
that the despotic discipline of the Demo
cratic party of the South has been shaken
at last; that the impatience of sensible men
in that section with a party grown great and
insolent by fraud and oppression is beginning
to manifest itself courageously, then yester
day was a red-letter day in American poli
tics. Surely neither Mahone nor any one
else will be impressed in the least by the silly
Democratic cries of "Traitor." He has
done what any one of the thirty-seven Dem
ocrats .in the chamber might be proud to
have done. He has shown his willingness to
vote against an attempt to seize a mean
advantage in organizing the United States
Senate. ..
. The World's editorial says of Mahone : To
every sale there are two parties. The odium
of I selling his Senatorial vote remains with
Mahone, but the odium of buying it belongs
to the Republicans. . The Republicans have
made a bad bargain. It cannot be forgotten
that the particular doctrine on which Ma
hone has secured his success in Virginia is
one with which Republicans can have no
possible sympathy. Integrity of the suffrage
is no more a cardinal Republican principle
than is inviolability of public credit. Ma
hone has made his fight in his State pro
fessedly on the issue of repudiation. If his
present co-operation with the Republicans
involves the use of patronage in Virginia to
promote the doctrine, it will be very dearly
bought. . ■: -"■'■-:.

' .Pauper Emigration. an article de
scribing , and | commenting | upon I the I mar
velous increase of population in the United
States,' the f St. James' Gazette says : "In
the face of facts like these, it is quite won
derful to reflect that there are ■ men '■: ready
to prescribe for the disease of an excessive
agricultural population nothing belter than
the quack | remedies | of, interference | with
private * property, ; .. when \} this amazing
economical : history of the United _ States
points straight ito emigration as the sole,
the sovereign, the infallible cure." M At this
time, when such declarations ; are ' appear
ing in the | English ~ press, ; and : when the
economists of Germany ; are . making ■" up
their minds that the loss '. of ? even thrifty
inhabitants is the lesser of two evils, it is
apparent r that prompt steps should be
taken by this country to shield ! itself
against an inroad, not : of self-respecting
laborers,' but of pauperism and crime. I s ln
the article from which the above quotation
is taken, the St James' Gazette, after ad
mitting that the independence of the United
States . has - been of the highest value to
mankind, solemnly asserts that *in > this
country, "where the conquest of the soil
has been most actively going on, law and
justice have been scantily administered,
even with the assistance of Judge Lynch."
Hitherto law and justice have done very
well for society in this country, but if the
"land of the free and home of .the brave"
is allowed'to become the home of foreign
convicts and s paupers Judge Lynch may
become Chief Justice of the United States.
