BISMARCK AND THE EMPERORS.
Prince Bismarck has always professed con?
tempt for the Metternich school of diplomacy.
Its methods were as unlike his own as inaction
is unlike action; yet in one respect the two
Chancellors had a similar experience: each
made his Emperor a sovereign of commanding
influence in Europe, one by th? statecraft of
bJood, iron and armaments, and the other by u
policy of masterly inactivity. Prince Met?
ternich's Emperor was one of tho most modest
ol sovereigns. Princess Melanie in her diaries
gUOtei him Bl saying that he was only a simple
straight-.)!ward man, who would never havo
rises into notice if Prince Metternich had not
imputed to him eveiything that was particu?
larly good or clever in his own policy. Ile was
in a peculiar sense Metternich's Emperor, his
dominant ideas of sta'-crraft and ad min ist ra?
tion being derived from one source. The
Chancellor for his part strove to put the sover?
eign first lu everything, disclaiming all merit
foi himself, and extolling on every occasion
his great and noble qualities, .similar rela?
tions have existed between the Emperor Will?
iam and his Chancellor. The Emperor in
\ affably acknowledged his overwhelming sense
of obligation to his greatest subject, and Prince
liismarck was bound to him by ties of affection
and sympathy even stronger than those of
loyalty and self-interes .. The Prince's emotion
manifested in announcing bis Emperor's death
tu the Reichstag was as sincere snd as natural
IB was Metternich's grief in receiving the last
messages of his Emperor.
Tho political testament which Francis left
to his son embodied the principles which
Prince Metternich taught throughout his
encer. The tutor must have recognized thc
spirit of his own Instructions when he read
this passage in the last, letter of Royal counsel:
''Disturb nothing in the foundations of tho
edifice of the State. Govern and rhanpo noth?
ing. Respect ill lawful rights and then you
Clay iii*.!;,' claim the reverence due to your
own rights as sovereign.'' Prince Metternich.
in his diplomatic circular announcing the Em?
peror's death, termed this "a complete code of
governmental legislation.'' It was his idea of
*'a'.-Miianship to do nothing, to change noth?
ing, to yield nothing, and to keep on govern?
ing bv a system of restraint and stagnation.
I ?<a\ eminent wi'.h him was a mechanical con?
ti ivanee for paralyzing the energies of the
}';ii|iiie and of Europe. Prince Bismarck's
has been a statesmanship of action, and hi.
idea Of government, while beaurocratic. has
Leen essentially different, from Prince Met?
ternich's] but if he could have dictated a
political testament in bis Emperor's name t-o
the son and the grandson he would probably
have been well ((intent to repeat those historic
phrases; "Disturb nothing. Govern and
change nothing.'' Prince Bismarck's ono
source of regret in his career, if we may judjjo
fiom his speeches, is that he respected tho
traditions of Frankfort in granting universal
suffrage. Ile ((insiders that giant the extreme
limit to which the Monarchy should go in re?
sponse to the demands of German liberalism.
In his judgment there should be no moro
changes?no additional concessions to de
inocr.iey ; and nothing should bc done to render
that, grant really effective by making Ministers
responsible to the representatives of the people,
a* thev are under European forms of Parlia- I
mentary government.
Whether the Kaiser has or has not left a
political testament to his son and grandson,
tht re will be no changes of government or
system while Prince Bismarck lives. No
at'eni .ion will be wrought by the Emperor's
death and his son's succession, whether for a
'monthg reign or for B tonga period. The
grandson's accession, whenever it may occur.
will hare, while Prince bismarck lives, as little
significance bi the present transfer ol sorer**
ci, n'.y from the Imperial veteran of 'ho Na
?loleonic wars to the middle-aged invalid of
San Remo. The Chancellor's life is tbs
strongest guarantee) not only of European
peace, but of ttanqoill-ty in Germany. No
new Emperor can dispense wi .h his services
*,or disregard hi-* counsel. The Kaiser is dead,
but with Bismarck Germany and Europe re?
main as before. Germany without Bismarck
will be something very different from what it
i< now So heavy bas been that iron hand in
> he icale of human destiny that Europe without,
him will be something very dilTercit also.
THE PENSIONS PILL
The Pen-.ions debate in tho Lulled btal.-s
6eaatS has been exhaustive, but without pracri
oal effect Thc Dependent bill has been pBMSd
in the form in which it was reported from the
Pensions Committee, and is a more moderate
BMBBBBl than a majority of the Republican
Senators were anxious Ui send to the House.
The strenuous eiloi'ts of - cnalor l'lumb and hi*
Western collengiies to render the disability re?
quired for a pension something Jess than
'?total'' have been -HtHlesa, The attempt has
been made to adapt the bill, so far as possible,
to the hut Executive veto, so as to promote its
(italics of becoming a law. The President
certainly will have to revise his arguments in
prder to prevent tha enactment of the measure.
1. publican Senators have ju-th considered it
a hardship to he BSksd to accommodate their
convictions ti, consideration* of ex|-ediencj
They would have piefericd to p_s8 a measure
of substantial j usu cs to tho liiuvu veteran*.
They have been prevailed upon to send down
to the House a bill whieh is reputed to bc unob?
jectionable to thc .'resident. }'*,*-sibly their
conciliatory conduct will bo rewarded by an?
other veto.
The debate has served a useful purple, in
illustrating the acrimony and intolerance of
tho Southern Democrats, who cannot forget
that their hearts once beat under gray uni?
forms. The vehement denunciations of thc
Cnion soldiers, and especially of th** <nand
Army organization, have reminded loyal men
once more Uiat '.he Hoiirb.ii Democracy learns
nothing and forgets nolhing. Tho sixteen
vow* against the Pensions bil! were east by
Southern Demurrals, every one of whom ex?
pects the I?re*ident. in thc la*-t ex'rein,ty io
recognize his solidest and strongest constitu?
ency by vetoing i*- once more. If hi* (bes so.
he will make nn ioue, ti* 4 wi'b the I,'epub!i< WBt

scope, but with 'he ('rand Anny posts ss ho are
carrying on n splendid work ??f charity and
mercy throughout the Cnion and rerpiirc co?
operation from Ihc A'atimial Cnivcrnincnt.
HIE noons OP RB ED.
A new rule his been adopted by the Senate
wi*-hout a dissenting voice, which will t liable
a majority to throw open the thins at any time
during the discussion of a treaty. . lia JBBJOlitgf
so order, thc whole country may be able to
listen to the debate on thc Kitberies Treaty,
and give an intelligent verdict upon it.
It is not surprising that there was no opposi?
tion, for do good argument can bc made against,
mich a mle. If a majority of the Senators be?
lieve it would be to the imbi ic interest to have a
treaty discussed with open doors, ss hy sin,uld
it not be in their power to order it ? They
will not be compelled to discuss all treat ie*
iii public, nor any treaty. They will simply bc
free to let the people know what is going on.
provided they think it desirable. In other
words, they will bc carrying on their business
under a system of some elasticity, instead of
being bound and gagged by fixed rules.
It il to be honed that the debate on the Fish?
eries Treaty will be had with open doors.
There is every reason why it. should be so.
Tho President urged that the text be
made public, and nosv that that is common |
property it would bo almost a foolish ailecta
tion to make, a mystery of the discussion. The
friends of tho treaty, o- some of them, are on
thc side of publicity, ur ptotttt to be. .-Min-ly
its opponents ought to be. and we believe are.
The one side believe that a public discussion
will vindicate the treaty : thc other, that it will
expose it in its true china.Arr as a surrender ol
_\ me ri can rights and ju-t ?-*:*...x?. Th*' best way
to enable the country to m.ike up its mind is to
let us all into the galleries.
The history of the secret --a?g|lo**g of th** Sen?
ate is of interest ns bearing upon this quest i'n.
Tho Continental Congress sat ss it,l> closed doors,
and this method was inheriled by the Senate
The House of I'eprcsentatives fixed the cii-t..m
of public session-, wit bin I ss eek after its or?
ganization, causing John Adams to ss i ile t" bifl
wife that the puhlication of the debates wo ubi
"establish the National Ciovenunent or break
the Confederation"; but the Senale p.*i >i>t4*l in
W-'cret sessions for all business, in spite of ?!*>
p-eated efTorts by Janies Monroe against them. |
for five years. It was then ordered that the I
legislative sessions should be open, but no
formal rei*uln'.ion regarding Pt??!?(?! 'm-iiir-s -waa
adopted until 180!), ss lie), .rCnator* sure com?
manded to keep "inviolably secret" all con
fidential communications from the President,
and that all treaties should be kept secret until
the Senate ordered othersvise. In 1813 the
first effort was formally made tu prcsciibe by ,
mir* that remarks and informal ion communi?
cated by a Senator in considering a nomination
should be kept secret, but it failed, and the
mle ssas not adopted until 1 820. The fact that
it failed in 1813 "''in- I" -h*-\\ that M'eieey
\sith regard tn ss hat \s;is -;ii*l about nominations
xsas not the cti-tom then, lt ssas certainly not
prescribed by rule until thirty-one yens after
the formation of the ("ovei nineiit. Twenty
one years later, that is in IK 11. Senator William
Allen, of Ohio, made an dbut to have open
sessions, except in acting upon treaties, and
renewed his proposition, which received con?
siderable support, though not enouj_'h for its
adoption, at intervals during -even suns. In
1R33?thirty-five years ago?Salmon P. Chase
('Hercd a resolution for the coiLsidciafion both
Of treaties and nominations in open Bration,
and pressed it twice upon the S<-nate, thotivh
unsuccessfully. It was support.* d by ChoUica
Sumner among others. Thc drift Of that body
seems to have been s'cadily in the direction ul |
greater nominal secrecy, though th-To has been
no real secrecy at any time, until in 186fl ? rule
was adopted that any Senator should bc ex?
pelled who disclosed confidential business.
This brief statement of fat ts shows that this
idea of secn-ey, (f svhidi Lhe Senate
has seemed to mako a fetich, bal
not, come down to us with the sanc?
tion of original and unbroken precedent, but is
to a considerable extent a modern invention;
that as a poliey it has hei'ii rosi-tcd by many of
our nrrsit statesmen and by a growing public
sentiment. A little more of the "keen, bright
sunlight of publicity'' grill ho a gr.(ad thing for
the Senate atmosphere, and tbe passage of this
resolution is an excellent beginning.
