LIGHT UPOS THE DRISR PROBLEM.
The drink problem is ono.of the chief qnes
tions now occupying tho minds of philanthropic
mea and winne-n not only in this country, but
on the other side of the Atlantic. It beeomes
moro plainly apparent every day that to hold
this ovii in check is to stop tho breeding of
inrnimerable other diseases which eontimralry
threaten tho life of society. Two of the Eng?
lish reviews contain articles from distinguished
hands, which illustrate this in an int ci rating
way. Cardinal Manning and Archdeacon
Farrar treat the same qnestion?the hideous
problems involved in the poverty and misery
of "outcast London"?from widely different
points of vie*!**. Both dwell upon the havoc
wrought by tho liquor traffic aa one of ites most
laaientable and laffimg features. Archdeacon
Fariar draws a dark picture of the extent and
the results of this traffic, which it seems im?
possible to subject to proper legal control, so
long as it is " strong in Ihe influence of wealthy
capitalists'' anel "brewers and gin distillers a ie
freely elevated to tho House of Louis." just as
in this country every attempt to restiict the
trade is resisted by politicians who owe their
nominations to bar-room caucuses, ami their
elections to saloon-keepers' money. Car.iinal
Manning declares that "the whole land is
siiffe'iing from the dil ec t or indirect power of
tho drink tiade'r which "wrecks millions of
men. women and chilciren," and if not brought
under by the will of Ihe people will be the
"downfall" of England. No one needs to bc
reminded how deeply this question is engag?
ing at tent ion in this country. Foitunatcly, it
has not assumed such gloomy ptopottiOBi as
in England, and the devising of methods for
dealing with it has been successful to an extent
not dreamed of, apparently, in that country.
But these are the subjects of infinite disputes,
and the proper regulation of thc traffic is, and
probably must romain for years to come, the
chief legislative issue in many States. It is Ihe
leading question at this moment in this State
I'nder those circumstances, Tm: Titi ni: Ni" be?
lieved that it coule] not make a more valuable
contribution to the solution of the problem than
by colli'ding and presenting to iis leaders a
careful .summary of thc liquor laws of every
Slate in the Fiiion. Tbe first instalment of this
('ompilution is published elsewhere in this issue
So f;n as we know, no similar compondinrn rs in

lincleitaken the repent made by tbe Hen. Henry
Edwardes, Secretary of the British Legation at
Washington, to bis Government, was brought,
tu our attention. This was a creelitable work,
and testified to the readiness of the Bittish Gov?
ernment io learn from American experience in
this matter, but it was necessarily brief and
much less comprehensive- than The Tribvnx's
1 icse-nfation of the sabje-ct. In addition to
giving an account of the existing liquor laws of
each State, we have sought the views of leading
men of all schools regarding their workings.
The method adopted of doing this proves that.

partial. At our request the Secretary of State
of nearly every Strte has foi 'warded the names
of representative Republican', Democrats Bl i
l*roTiihitionists, whose opinions we have asked
and frankly given. Similar inquiries were ad?
dressed to the Governor of each Slate. In the
case of New-York, we recogriiaed the special

THE EMPRESS'S A MERU AX RIVAL.
The story of a rcmaikable American woman
is told by our Bc-ilin cui-respondent on another
page*. Maiy Lea. Princess of Narr and Count?
ess of Waldersee. is to-day in some sense thc
rival of the English Empress of Germany. Hy
her first marriage she became one of the richest
women in Europe, with connections with the
royal house of Schleswig-Holstein and with thc
Noer estate at her dispersal when her aged hus?
band died. Young, charming and beautiful,
sho wss ambitions of playing a great part in
German society and politics. In Count Wal
dei*see she discerned reith unerring instinct a
soldier of splendid promise, and as his wife
sho has been for many years one of the lenders
of aristocratic society in Berlin. Her second
hnsbond won great dist met ion in the cam?
paigns with Austria and France, became a
favorite with both Prince Bismarck and Count
Von Moltko and an intimate friend of Prince
William. When Emperor William died the
Count was practically in mm ma nd of the Ger
man army, being Count Yon Moltke's deputy
with tho title of Qiiaitennaster-Gcneral. The
( ounteaa'a salon baa been one of tho gather?
ing-places of rank and fashion, and has been
?'c'enionted especially by German statesmen,
generali and nobles who look with disfavor
upon tito pn.-i.it Empress and her Englu>
eh He. of admirers and partisans. When the
pn ? nt Crown Princess was received with cool?
ness bj her royal mother-in-law, and Prince
Will..un was lectured and snubbed by his
futh' r thc Countess, took compassion on them
and made them the central figures in her 9Bt,
Uki- ly incurring thu enmity of all the __nglo
Ge'iiiiaiis. Her infinencf) over the Prince il
stn ngthened by ties of relalion.ship. since by
her first marriage sho is the grandaunt of the
I town Princess. But the real secret of her
power in isociety and polities is inherent energy
ol character directed ly ambition.
The relations now existing lietween th'.* pr.-s
c nt and the future Emi*eior>t aro desi! il.iel in
detail in this interesting letter. Father and
son ar? not in accord, and the Empress is main?
ly responsible for the breach of affect ion. Prince
William is maikcdly hostile to thu English
ideas and tendencies which his fat lui ami
mother aro reputed to favor, and ho has re?
cently gone out of his way to show s*.i>iimlhy
for tho anti-Jewish movement, tei which they
are both strenuously BPPBB-4L COommtMS Wal
BsBBM has MBBSil d unul intluciicc over him in
exciting his prejudices against tho English
eirclo in Berlin and also against tho Hebrew
element; and it was from her salon that he
drove recently to Dr. Stoeckcrs mission. She
and her husband are not only the Prince's con

BBtflBnBBBlnt's judgment. U> be the power bc
biml tho thione when the present ill fated
reign comes to an end. and Prince William
succeeds to the Imperial title bent upon goy
erning Germany for the? Orman*.
While social and political triumphs, which
are compaied with llio.-e. of Mine, de Mainteiii.n
in this Berlin letter, may be reserved for the
Countess, al present she is meeting with un?
expected rev-esses. Since the letter was writ?
ten the cubba dispatches have announced that
Count Waldersee lias been relieved froiu duty
in tbo War Office and ordered to the command
of tho Rhine Anny Corps. As he was Count
Yon Moltke's chief lieutenant* and official repre?
sentative, this cannot bo regarded in the light
of a premed ion. He h.as evidently bren sent
out of Berlin, presumably at the instigation of
tbo Empress, in order that the hostile intrigues
in the Countess's salon may cease. There is
a touch of spitefulness in this art ion that is
chatacteristic of royal petticoat government. It
is an order from the court f"i the e losing of thc
social r-a^de-rrons wherre Dt. Storcfcor's intoler?
ant partisans. Dr. Mackenzie's malignant crit?
ics and (he titled chiefs of the anti F.nglis.i
party meet to lament the* dcradonce of the Em?
pire, and to sigh impatiently for a Teutonic
revival nuder Prince Williaxn. The Empress
may be destined to have a brief reign, but
while sho is on the throne she apparently in?
tends to direct her husband's policy willi at*
firm a hand as the Czarina controls her chief
\ uss.,!, the --eveieign of all the Ru^ia**. When
the end comes and there is another stately
pageant in Puter den LiadeB, the bniii'-ncd
American, Mary Lea. will triumph over her
and assist the lucent Clown Piincess in man?

Count will tlie n relutii I rom the I,hine a Kit-Id

THE STATE CONVENTION.
At its meeting yesterday tho Republican
Committee decided that the Slate Convention
should be held at Buffalo. May 1 G. The busi?
ness of this convention will be the selection of
four delegatcs-at-laigt* to thc Republican Na?
tional Convention. The time and place am
sat is/actory. The date is late enough to allow
the district conventions to be held wi! limit un?
due haste; and Buffalo, while not as "cc nti;_H
as some of her competitors for the honor, is
easily reach eel from all sections and pOBMMM
ample hotel and convention accommotlations.
The rall for tho Nat ional Convention pro?
vides that the delegates-at-latgo shall bo
chosen at State Conventions not less than thirty
days before thc meeting of the National Con?
vention, lt will bo seen, therefore, tliat om
State Convention could trot have been called
at a much later date without entrenching upon
the thirty days' limit, since the National (''in?
vention is to meet June 19. We refer to this
fact for the benefit of such of oin Republic in
friends in the Legislature as would have pre?
ferred a later date. Speaker Cole is authority
for the assertion that if the most is made of (he
(imo that remains, final adjournment can take
place in season to allow those who mint to d'*
so to attend Ibo Bu Halo convention. And the*
Speaker doubtless is right.
Now that the State COBTCBtiOfl is called, it
? in order to ai lange for Ute District conven?
tions. We are sure the Republicans in all tlie
districts will meet the best expectations in the
discharge of the important duty which con
flouts them. The New-York delegation to
Chicago must be made np of men who repre*
seut the party at its bot?men fitted alike
by chaiacter and ability tu exert a commanding
influence in (he great council on whose issiio
so much <l.i>t?nds.
A DE MU UR ER.
Society lias been busily asking itself during
tl)'- tail Week whet lier jt is Open t-O tho glilVP
indictment lately preferred against it by one
of its favorite preachers. Is it true that mod?
em society in genci-il. and especially that of
this rich, luxurious capital, is degoneraling ?
Is it true that this is tu be seen in the nari
odious of all tendencies?thal personal purity
is less common than it wat, tliat a lack of . irtufl
is tolerated in women and in men. that young
girls are in the habit of listening io broad
stories and untlcan gOSBip, that modesty and
chastity are op' nh ridiculed? This is a milel
reiriOB of the charges made, and it is not <\xT
prising that the ptKScbei who utten*d them
Badi BB has made a sensation which the ni'--1
s< n-al-oual BBBBBBBI might have sighed foi in
vain.
It serais to us that the mere statement of
tics.j things is their best refutation. Every
practical BBB aud unman, wlvtther believer or
siepiic, must know that this pic tine of our
Moiety is exaggerated and misleading?tbe
product of imagination lather than observa?
tion, It is, we venture to lteiieve. not one of
sm"iety as the preacher has seen it, but as he
thinks it must be. It is like a huge skeleton
reconstructed in tho closet from a few bones,
but unlike such woik when done by a skilled
hand, il varies giotcsquely fiom the original.
Persons who haye seen many phases e.f the so?
ciety of New-Yoik will wonder why they have
Lever happened to hud this sttange region
wlier*) men have no IBBBBri for vi omen, where
women exiiect and encourage the familiarity
that breeds TOMB things than contempt, where
license in wc.ni and act makes an atmosphere
in which the undne eomeiOBlBCW of sex and
tlu- lack of modesty and parity arc so marked
that even the slumbers of -'the silly giri" wh I
is dteaining of her admirers are ? iinehaste.*'
This must lung remain to many of us an un?
discovered ooostry, for. iii oar opinion, it docs
BOt exist.
There are evils enough tu keep tbe preacher
bnsy, and tho satirist, too, whose sermons arc
by net means Um hast useful. Many of these
aro no doubt Ute precinct of the time?tho
naluial outgrowth of our crude civilizali-.n.
Tho passion to be rich is ono of the chief and
the jiare-nt of scores of th' n. There are vices
nnd weakne_.-cs in plenty. But thc reader of
tho " Potiphar Papers,'" not to go so far ba eli?
as "Vanity Fair," will be Bpi t<> conclude that
the principal change in society is. that it is not
rn vulgar as it was oin e. ? The story' of ita fail?

Amitie un college oarsmen are still working nt

in in-door tanks, and the composition of their
racing crews is a matter of speculation. But
the English University crews were fnrraeel nearly
