THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFB. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAT 25, 1870. nnniT or txxq run as. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journals upon Current Topios Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. BROOKS AND COX. Fnm the IT. T. Tribune. - Those eminent legislators who decorate And defend the Democracy of this oitj in Congress, Mr. Brooks and Mr. Cox, who da moBt of the eloqaenoe, inasmuch as thinkiag is an entirely superfluous f auction, ia behalf of their singular constituencies, of course conld not be expected to let slip such an oo cfwion as the proposition to abolish the mis sion at Home gave them for an airing of' their devotion. They are not our sole repre sentatives, it is true. But the accomplished Mr. Morrissey is at present in the position of the scriptural person who had bought him a yoke tof oxen, which we understand to be the ancient analogue of the modern pursuit of looking after the bulls of our Wall street Bashan, and therefore he could not come, and the sly Mr. Fox notoriously goes on his way rejoicing, caring for none of these things. It was rather unfortunate that neither of these persons was able to lift np his brogue in defense of the assailed Fapaoy, inasmuch as both have a hereditary and a sectarian, as well a polemical, claim to the championship of that imperilled institution. But so it was, and upon the old Native Ameri can, Mr. Brooks, and the author of "The Buckeye Abroad," whose political gyrations we really do not feel ourselves obliged to re member or to record, devolved the task to prop and puff the "poor old Pope." It was the opinion of Anthony Weller, con cerning the hortatory eloqueace of the shep herd at the tea-party of the United Grand Junction Ebenezer Temperance Association, that "wery well he did it, considering how heavy them muffins must have lied on his chest." We are happy to find it in our Eower to pay a similar compliment to Mr. rooks. Considering how the ghastly and nnooffined shade of Archbishop Hughes must have constantly appeared to himself to anno tate his remarks by waving before his inner sight exhumed E.tpressen, still more ghastly and unsavory than itself, in which cruel and unusual language was applied to that lamented prelate and all his works, Mr. Brooks dis charged his task and his fire with uncommon vigor and precision. Of its copiousness nobody need to be told who has heretofore wandered through the watery waste of his emissions in the Globe, and found, in quantity if not in quality, books in the running Brooks, M. 0. The entire enthusiasm with which Mr. Brooks has come to regard the faith of the foreign portion of his constituency, whose oft-repeated votive offerings have made him what he officially is, impels us to congratulate him on his conversion from the abhorrence with which the unregenerate and editorial Brooks of 1857 regarded the scarlet female person to the reverential tolerance, not to Bay the hum ble adoration, by which the same, object, clothed in the purple and fine linen of political preferment, has come to be the "most venerable city in the world," and "the mother of art," in the purged and unsealed eyes of the ambitious and Con gressional Brooks of 1870. After this there did not seem to be much more in the way of aggregation of agony left for Mr. Cox to do. That ingenious person, however, contrived to .see Mr. Brooks' laudation, and to "go it" considerably better. Whereas to the tosthetio Brooks Borne was only the "mother of art," to the deeply devout Cox she was still more interesting as being "the birthplace of Chris tianity." The incongruous and impertinent Judge Hoar having annotated this statement with a suggestion cot wholly unconnected with Nazareth, Mr. Cox, with a spirit for which his constituents ought to give him credit, retorted that he meant "ancient Chris tianity," and not "modern Protestantism, or modern transcendentalism, or modern free lovism," leaving the inevitable inference to be drawn that these latter systems were off shoots of the Nazarene, as religion pure and undefiled of the Roman, stem. Before such a sunset glow as this Brooks naturally paled his ineffectual fires, and subsided into silence. But both these eminent converts 1 and ath letes of the faith really deserve so much of a . canonization as the early and numerous votes of the faithful can confer: , These be the great twin brethren ' To whom the Romans pray. And as the twain of whom these lines were originally written left their home by the proud Eurotas to hasten to the rescue of Borne in a crisis, and thus added a Roman to an Athe nian homage, so ought Castor Brooks and Pollux Cox to receive the plaudits and the suffrages of that modern and Milesian mum tude which unites the titular and scholastic glories of Greece to the faith of Rome. TOE SPANISH THRONE A PROSPECT OF A SETTLEMENT AT LAST. From tJU S. Y. BeraUU Reoent news regarding the Iberian Penin sula is full of interest. A cable despatch from Paris has it that letters from Madrid confirm previous reports to the effect that Prim and Saldanha have an understanding and that the understanding points to an Iberian union. - Such is the news. If the news is true it is good. If it is not true we most still say it is the best thing that can possibly happen en the Peninsula, we nave no means oi Know ing what is the value of an arrangement come to by Prim and Saldanha, or whether there is any such arrangement. This, however, we do know; that an Iberian union is the one thing most likely to settle the Spanish throne question ana to give peace ana prosperity to the Peninsula. For a time it was our opinion that Napoleon might do well to place himself at the head f the Latin races. If Italy and Spain and Portugal could agree to make up their owr differences and then jointly to make up thek differences with France, no better arrangement than a grand Latin union oould be (onoeived. The march of events has not encouraged us in the belief that any such anion is immediately practicable. Mexioo. somehow, spoiled our dream. A Latin union for the present is not practicable. In the interests of Humanity and civilization, in the high sense, it is not even desirable. But an Iberian union, though a lesser triumph, points in the same high direction. We have no choice, therefore, but to rive it our heartv encouragement. Such a union would be a good thing for Spain, a good thing for Portu gal, a good thing for the so-called Latin races, and a good tiling xor moaern progress. If a union of the whole Latin family is not .now possible, a union of certain subordinate sections of that family is at least hopeful and full of encouragement. We look upon the present union movement in the Iberian Peninsula from the point of Tiew thus Indicated. We wish to see the ; peoples uniting. We wish to see national barriers breaking down, prejudices yielding, - and languages ceasing to act as dividing forces. We wish to see not only the union of nations, but of races, aud, iudeed, of tlio whole human family. Every barrier that is broken down, every prejudice that yields, every dividing force'that loses its energy, is a gain to civilization. For these reasons we some time since rejoiced in the successes of Prussia, because they pointed to the unifi cation of "Germany. , For the same reasons we encouraged Napoleon to put himself at the head of the Latin races. And later, for these name reasons,' when Spain was expe riencing her first difficulty in filling the Vacant ' throne of Isabella, and when her eyes were momentarily turned to Portugal, we advised Prim and the rest of them to follow the example of the English people, who, on the oooasion of the death of Elizabeth, invited King James of Scotland to London, and thus harmoniously and happily made Scotland and England one. We are not ignorant of the fact that it was diffioult then to take our advioe. Spain was not prepared, and Portugal was not ready. Now, however, after a year and many odd months, Spain still begs for a king. The princes of Europe will not have the crown. Spain has come dowa so low as to offer the crown to her own subjects, but even they object. Espartero does not care for it, and Serrano is sick of his empty honors. It has always been a matter of surprise to us that Portugal did not catch the con tagion of revolution from her neighbor. It now appears that our surprise was not wholly without reason. If our news proves to be correct there has been a quiet understanding between a powerful party in Portugal and the leaders of the Spanish revolution. At all events this does appear: Prim has been in correspondence with Saldanha. This also is undeniable: the Iberian question, through the Spanish revolution, has reached a point which offers a solution of all existing trouble in the Peninsula. The settlement of the Spanish throne ques tion is now, in our judgment, made easy. The King of Portugal is a young and highly respectable sovereign. With the materials at his command he has governed wisely and well. Spain cannot do better than offer him the double crown. Luis can reign as well in Madrid as in Lisbon; and if Portugal becomes a second Scotland and Lisbon a second Edin burgh, neither Spain nor Portugal will have any cause of complaint. The union of the two kingdoms in the Peninsula has beoome a necessity, and a better opportunity than that wich now promises to offer itself will never be presented. Divided, the Iberian Penin sula is weak. United, Spain and Portugal would be a force in the modern world. If Spain is wise she will offer her despised crown to iving iaus oi l'ortugaL ANNEXATION. From the S. Y. Bun. Senator Pomeroy of Kansas offered in the Senate on Thursday last a resolution request ing the President to open negotiations with the Government of Great Britain, to ascer tain whether the British North American pro vinces can be annexed to the United States upon terms honorable to both parties. This proposition is probably regarded as a wise one by some of the more ardent and thought less among our . people. We observe also teat a movement in favor of annexation is going on in Nova Scotia and New Brunswiok. Societies are organized, publio meetings are held, speeches are made, and pam phlets in f ivor of annexation are distri buted. - All this is so muoh labor lost, especially the resolution of Senator Pomeroy; it can come to nothing. Great Britain cannot con sent to the annexation of her oolonies to the United States, and the efforts of the friends of annexation on the north of the border will all be of no avail, except so far as they may influenoe publio opinion in their own neigh borhood. The destiny of the North American prov inces is independence. They are separated from the United States by the great lakes in the centre, and by the bt. Joans and the St. Francis rivers on the east. They have every resource necessary for the establishment of an independent power. They nave a Constitu tion formed for this very purpose, and capa ble, like the Constitution of the United States, of indefinite expansion over new provinces a&djterritories. Great Britain has already procirreed ner desire to see tnem set up upon theirVira account, and take a plaoe in the family m nations, as tney now stand, they are to ner a cause of ' great weakness; and were they separated from her and formed nto a friendly State, with a republican, aris ooratio, or monarchical government, the trencrth and security of the parent country would be much increased. She has accord ingly of late improved every proper oppor tunity to stimulate them to such a policy. There is no doubt that . whenever they may resolve to enter upon it, sue will an or a them every possible facility and advantage. This then is what they ought to . do, and what pa tnotio men within their borders and judicious men without ought to urge upon their con sideration. The idea of annexing these provinces to the United States, however much it may nat ter the vanity of theorizing statesmen among ourselves, or however agreeable it may be to impatient spirits in the provinces, is entirely impracticable. The majority of the people north of the line are opposed to it, and cannot be brought to favor it; and the pride and prestige of Great Britain render it equally T , 1 t i i l: ii t 3 - inaamiSBiDie. J-iet iius nouou, men, uo dis missed so far as possible from the minds of practical politicians everywhere; let the pro vinces enter upon their eareer of indepen dence, and let us here in the United States give them all suitable encouragement and aid in taking this great step. No feelings but those of friendship ought to be cultivated between the two countries. We are neigh bors, and our interests in many respects are identical. With independence, our relations- must beoome mucn more intimate; and the sooner the new nation is formed and put in motion the better for the Canadas. the better for England, and the better for the United States. WESTON'S WALK. From the If. T. World. Weston, the pedestrian whose previous pro fessional feats have mainly been in demon strating, to the dissatisfaction of everybody except himself, that but for peculiar misad ventures he might, could, would, or should have performed the things ne naa undertaken to do. and of whom it may thence be said in particular, as it has been Baid of us all eenerallv. that he walks by faith and not by night, has now, after many defeats upon the road, which he has converted into victories on caner. engaged to attempt the achievement, which really ia a difficult one, of walking 100 miles within twenty-two hours. It is not likely that a great conoourse will be attracted by this announcement. The person whe, not being especially moved thereto by lust of filthy lucre, eares to Bit awake for twenty-two hours to see another person walking, is even rarer than the person whom the love of notoriety or money can eliice ipto an attempt to walk during that period; uud urttiinly no pornou ctu dorivu any exhilaration from seeing any part of the performance, since it is only an a whole that it is astonishing or unusual. The traditional skeptic, who, upon being informed that a raven would live for a century, incontinently bought one to try the truth of the statement, was quite as likely to ascertain the point in dispute as any single person will be to know whether Mr. Weston has or has not performed the task which he has net himself, and to the performance of which he solicits the atten tion, the attendance, and the dollars of his felinw-men. This improbability of the publio's becoming intensely interested in this pedestrian proce dure is matter of congratulation. For if peo ple decline to go, in remunerative numbers, to see other people do things of which the only attraction is the difficulty and the dan ger, the latter people will cease to attempt those things, and will find no imitators, in place of the crowd of imitators they would be fcure to attract if they had a sufficient crowd of admiring spectators. Undoubtedly it is a good thing that a man should be able to walk well, and anybody who exhorts him into a daily walk, as any body who exalts his daily conversation, ii something of a publio benefactor. But it is equally clear that it is a very bad thing for a man to derange the habits of a healthy life by taking violent exercise, without sleep and with only hurried and unsatisfactory refresh ment, for nearly twenty-four hours at a time. X'rompt repair, according to the authorities, will make good the losses of temporary ex haustion. But an exhaustion so utter and so protracted as must be brought about by suc cess, or even by a colorable lauure, in such an attempt as this person Weston promises to make, is a constitutional strain so severe as to be almost irreparable. It is not good that such exhibitions should be encouraged. J t is the function of Mr. Uergu to protect donkeys. -If a man, however, voluntarily makes a donkey of himself, he doe not thereby incur, nor does he deserve, the cham pionship of Mr. Bergh. The only way of restoring him to his normal condition is to leave him to his own devices in solitude. And that, we are glad to know, is the mode likely to be adopted, and to be effectual, in the case of this Mr. Weston. WENDELL PHILLIPS AND THE LABOR QUESTION. From the N. Y. TimtA. The great anti-slavery orator has found a new theme or, perhaps, it would be fairer to say that he has returned to an old one. No sooner is the enfranchisement of the negro complete, than he sees in the condition of the laboring classes the work for a new or ganization, and in the eight-hour law the ob ject of a fresh agitation. In the ora tion at Boston, recently given, Wendell Phillips exhibits, in undiminished force, his powers of vigorous declamation and impas sioned rhetoric- While heartily coinciding with his general principles, and, in the main, agreeing with many of his demands, we think that the orator overlooks, to a great extent, the practical difficulties of the question. : The relation between capital and labor is a sub- i'ect which cannot be settled by Legislatures. Jo one can find fault with a working man making the best possible bargain on the soore of time and wages, and as jri the nature of things it is impossible for labor to treat on equal terms with capital unless in combina tion, no one can deny the necessity of united action on the part of . workmen. But while labor is to some extent stationary, capital is tne moBt migratory ol all tna elements of production. Not all the eloquence of Mr. Phillips can infuse so much sentiment into this great power as will induce it to pur chase labor at home at a higher price than it can be obtained for abroad. The experiment has been to some extent tried in England, and the result is that Belgium and France supply the machinery that used ' to come from English workshops: The labor ques tion must, tneretore, be looked at as an in ternational one, and, to ensure suocess, its leaders must seek a common rallying-point, by which the scattered organizations exist ing all over the world may be united in one invincible host. The Unionists of , Earope are becoming alive to this fact, and are at this moment laying the foundation of a cos mopolitan association such as we have ' in-' dioated. , . . i The prospect of creating a power bo formi dable may appear to bode little good . to the ultimate progress of society. Were one to udge from the ravings of certain socialistic eaders ef the movement in Franoe, the for mation of a great labor league would cer tainly seem likely to be a calamity to the human race. But one result of a universal interchange of plans and opinions would be to dispel such illusions as these which . are cherished by the European communists; and our American workmen oould perform no greater service in the cause of humanity than by showing that they can reoognize, as fairly and frankly as their spokesman did at Boston, the true place and function of the capitalist. It is to be wished that Mr. Phillips had in sisted emphatically upon the necessity of adopting some plan of adjusting trade dis- Eutes by disoussion or arbitration, instead of y the summary and wasteful process of strikes. Capital and labor must be, to some extent, although we hope a constantly dimin ishing extent, opposing forces; but a line of progress is quite possible between them, as it is in many parallel cases in society and gov ernment. . GRANT ON THE RIGHT OF FLIRTA- TION. , Fom the A'. Y. World. . , President Grant, it seems, has ordered a court-martial to be held upon an officer of the army by way of compelling him, if one may "talk horse" on such a theme, to give his skittish wife "her head." The officer in question, Colonel Bailey by name, is aooused of being neither young nor good-looxing, while his wife is described as an angel of loveliness, gifted with a fine natural genius for "flirtation." Of course, no intelligent mind can refnse its sympathy to the wife in such a case. Nor can we fail to admire the beautiful elasticity of martial law, potent alike to define the political ngbta or CiuQy in the swampB of Florida and to vindicate the privileges of lovely woman in the ball rooms of Washington. How melanoholy it is to reflect that the sad fate of that inte resting young lady of Nova Sootia, whom all the world for many years has mourned in pensive song, might have been averted had she but lived in our own happy time and happier land. The "Captain bold of Halifax, Who lived la winter quarters," and by whose unprincipled desertion the un fortunate Miss Bailey was driven in a moment oi irenzy to "Hang her la her garters," would have been promptly and properly con deemed to matrimonial bard labor for life hud his victim but been able to appeal with "lrge and luminous ryes," and her back hair artistic-ally let down, to the heart of an Amo tion! PrtbidtLt and the drum-head of an American commander-in-chief. The charges against Colonel Bailey are said to be brought under the category of "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. it Is a pity that King David had not thought of applying this Bort of discipline to the eminent Hebrew soldier, Uriah, whose prurient and provoking interference with the naturally sportive and gracious dispositions of his wife, Bathsheba, gave so mucn annoyance to nis sovereign. The coarser and more violent expedient adopted in that case, of despatching the med dlesome and uxorious general to the ford- front of a battle in which he was slain, only i 9 . i t . v i . sorveu in lue euu to invest aim witu a nou tious aureole of martyrdom, and to doprive his poor, persecuted wife of the sympathies to which, as we now perceive, she was in truth entitled. We earnestly advise Mrs. Cady Stanton and Miss Anthony, and the rest of our fair frit nds who lead the future of their sex, to look to it lest they find themselves suddenly supplanted in the confidence and the esteem of their charming sisters hy this artful chivalry of the President. The enthusiasm which, it must be confessed, the right of suf frage has thus far failed to elicit from the female bosom will surely be aroused by a grand movement in behalf of the right of flirtation. Let it once be dearly understood that Grant means to proclaim this right and enforce it by the bayonet, and neither con stitutional restrictions, nor party conventions, nor the united opposition of all the married men in America, will avail to prevent his being carried in triumph, upon a swelling tide of irrepressible crinoune fringed with flashing epaulette, into the throne of a gyno- cratio despotism more formidable than the empire of the Crosars er the Napoleons.
