THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1869. SPI1UT OF THE ritESS. EDITORIAL OPIKIOHS OF THI LIU PINO JOURNALS UFO CCBRKlfT TOPICS COMPILED BVKBT DAT FOB TBI BTBSMO TBXfcGBAFH. FRANCE AND GKKMANY. Frirm the JV. J'. Herald. All our recent intelligence from Europe shows that, thomjli the war cloud has not j et burst, tho sunshine of security does not ro.t upon the border lands of France and PruxKlu. Tiicro lias been no lack of pence speeches In France; nor lias there been any violent niatiifcHtntioii of lielli eoto tendencies in Primula. But while M. do la " alette accept the wit nation in Germany, and whilo Klni? William congratulates M. do la Valette for his peaceful pcnliinents, both Napo leon and Hisinark reveal their dintrust by pro Aidinir. as bebt they can, for the contingencies of i he future. Jt is impossible to mistake the meaning; of cer l ilii repent public nets of the French Emperor. To make war n prominent question of the hour votild bo dansjerous. It would tell injuriously a jfiiinHt tlio government at tho elections now o Tone at hand, ilcnco the peace policy of the .vseiit. To carry with him triumphantly tho a otos of the French people this Is Napoleon's i:nHXliato purpose. Mark how ho paves tho way to success. The Lirret or Tass Book f.yf'rciii was a perpetual nuisance to the work liii ::ian. It was nn ever-present policeman w hills' nil his movements. Jt was a govern ii' t spy which practically robbed him of his ii, . idual liberty. Tho workman hated the L but without it ho could not live. Napo J( . abolished this system, has set tho '.. man free and secured "his vote. Napoleon i... one many clever things in his day, but, in . k-'.v uf present exigencies, this is one of the (leu-rest things he has done. This, how ever, is not nil. If the French have a weakness it is their passion for military itlory. Tho new army law. it is true, lias "never been largely in favor; but while this may prove that the French people are settling down with increasing delight to tho cultivation of the arts of peace, it certainly does not prove that thev nro forgetful of the g'lories of the past. Forty thousand veterans of tho First Empire Mill survive. By way of marking the hundredth birthday of Napoleon the First, Napoleon tho Third has resolved very considerably to increase the pensions of those "forty thousand veterans. There has been some grumbling amonj the op positionists, but tho proposal is unmistakably popular all over France, and it cannot fail to have a powerful influence in favor of the Govern ment at the elections. We say again that the great object of Napoleon Is to triumph at the elections to prove once more to Europe and the world that France is with him. It is scarcely to be doubted that his object will be accomplished. Jle has made his moves with such skill that Inilme is next to impossible. The elections over, will this peace policy continue ? That is tho question which many minds, arc now m I'iously asking themselves, but which few lind themselves competent to answer. We have aid already that Count Bismark is not deceived 'by peace manifestations. In the North German Parliament, the other day. he made a speech which furnishes us with a key to his thoughts. A resolution had been introduced by a prominent member in favor of a responsible ministry for the Northern Confederation. Count Bismark opposed the resolution, and in the course of his speech clearly showed that he is not in favor of too much centralization. His fear was that such a step, while it would de-Prussianize Prussia, would alienate the sympathies of South Ger many. It would deepen and widen the Main and would practically be shutting the door in tho face of the Southern States "The South German," he says, '"faces the danger and fights like a brave soldier when he stands on the spot where the law has placed him; but if iie must risk his person on his own responsi bility, he ponders a long time before he does it." It is perfectly manifest from these words, and, indeed, from the whole tenor of his speech, that Bismark has come to the conclusion that Prus sia must not be sunk in Germany; that the unity of Germany must not be accomplished by and through Prussian ascendancy, but that the unity and common sympathy of the German people will be more effectually secured by a loose and easy confederation than by a confederation too closely united. South Germany, the Count seems to think, will bo a better bulwark to the North if not too closely pressed into union. Any attempt to Prussianize Germany or to force a ffencral union would produce discontent in the South, and discontent in the South would beckon France to the Rhine. This conclusion of the Count is no doubt largely the result of a cou- viction on his part that war with France is a Jirobability. How beet to unite Germany against France in the event of probable attack is Bis B) ark's present policy. This conclusion of "the Prussian Prime Minis ter is already known in Paris, and M. de la Valette has alluded to it as a reason for belief in Ihe continuance of peace. Much, however, will lepcnd on the result of the elections. Franco may become arrogant and aggressive, and she may not. It is certain that Prussia will not be the attacking party. The danger is that tho be lief may grow that Prussia has sustained a check in Germany, and that the idea of German unity has been abandoned. Such a belief becoming general iu France might net as a spur to the aggressive tendencies of the French people. So long as "the flowery banks of the Rhine" tempt French cupidity, and so long as it is necessary for tho Emperor to humor French vanity, so loug, wo fear, must peace or war be an open question. We cannot tell what a day or an hour may bring forth. NEUTRALITY IN CUBAN AFFAIRS. Frmn the H. X. WurUL If the Cuban demonstration in this city a few evenings since ahull tend to satisfy President Grant how senseless it would be for him to fol low the advice of Mr. Sumner, and make the Queen's proclamation of May 13, lstil, a casus belli, if not apologized and atoned for by Eng land, it will not have been altogether iu vain. Tho main object of that meeting was to pro mote, by the Federal Government, what is called in one of the resolutions "recognizing the Cuban revolutionary government so as to secure to it the rights of a belligerent nation." It was to this point, next the lively interest this country has always felt in Cuba, and the purpose never to let the island pass into the hands of any other European power, that Mr. McKean addressed his remarks. His quotations from Grotius, Hub ner, Webster, and Phillimere were apt as to the right of a ueutral nation to judge for itself when its own interests are so far affected by a rebel lion as to require n definition by proclamation of IU relation to the contending parties. Assume that President Grant, inspired by the moral force of the recent demonstration or the eloquence of Mr. McKeon, enters upon an in quiry into the condition of the Cuban insur gents, to ascertain whether they have a de facto political organization, sufficient in character, noinilatiou. and resources to constitute a State if left alone and with the power of Spain with drawn; whether they have a Bullicientlv complete military force acting according to rules 01 war, and adequate military preparations; whether prisoners on either side aro treated as prisouers of war; whether they control a seaport or have cruisers: whether our own vessels may be drawn into complications; whether, in a word, tho elements exist which can iu the forum of nations justify a declaration that tim ar entitled a recognition of full K..iii(rorMit riL'hts. Assume, also, that Prci Hunt" Grunt comes to a conclusion in their favor, nnd issues a proclamation similar in lei'al effect to that issued by tne iiieon .nay i., lull which declared existence of hostilities, ' perfect neutrality between the contending par tics, and to that end prompt enforcement of ' the pains and penalties of tho Neutrality law of IMS. And then assume that Spain were as powerful as we, and should propose to make buch a proclamation a c(tnun lili f we did not and atone therefor. What would lV...I.?..tit Grant and the coillltl V do ulld say t w.nld we not rcplv that, of the time for such a proclamation the United States was nocrrtja j'-uliif; iliut iu owu coucieiice, uud bunso of public duty were supreme as to the necessity or I propriety of such an art; and that Spain was I nilv rntkled to hold us responsible for faithful execution of the neutrality wc had declared f Would not every selt-rciMiccting nation be bound to nmko nuch a reply ? The friends of Cuba need to reflect what will be the consequence of recognition of belligeront rinhls in the insurgents and a declaration of neutrality on the part of the United States, If President Grant, unlike Earl Russell, is honest in maintaining the thing declared. Impartial neutrality between tho insurgents and Spain might not, after all, bo so pleasant for the former or their friends. Our neutrality laws, enforced with as much vigor as Mr. ftfcKoon executed them as Federal Attorney in this eitv In Nicara gua times would put the agents of the Cuban Liberals in New York, who hire or enlist per sons hero to light against Spain, in an awkward predicament. When President (rant declares war to exist in Spain, with full belligerent rights to both sides, then Spain can stop and Bearch our ships on the high seas for contraband of war, which now cannot bo done; and even Institute n blockade of the island, with power to pursuo nnd capture on the ocean all who attempt to violate it. Honest neutrality is of very little advantage to an Insurgent people and very little injury to the parent government. It is only a dishonest neutrality, like that of England from ISM onward, which works the opposite results. There was a time, however, when (Jreat Bri tain did not permit her territory to be made a base and starting point for military expeditions against a friendly power, and her conduct then may be worth the study of President Grant. It was in the struggle between Donna Maria and her uncle, Don Miguel, for tho throne of Por tugal, (ireat Britain recognized the former as rightfully queen, and proclaimed neutrality. An expedition sailed from Plymouth, ostensibly for Brazil, but, as it afterwards appeared, really for Teiccira, an island belonging to Queen Maria. When the Government ascertained that the ex pedition was hostile to Donna Maria, had vio lated English law, infringed its neutrality, nnd fraudulently escaped, it despatched a naval force with orders" to intercept the expedition and pre vent its landing, and this was done (Jjihiik shots being unavailing) by tiring b lug unavailing) by tiring balls by which per ms were killed. The expedition did not land. sous xpedi The act was brought up in Parliament, but the Ministry defended it on the ground that tho ex pedition was warlike, htted out fraudulently, and neutral obligations compelled a preventing of the disembarkation of tho force. A decided majority iu each house of Parliament sustained the Government. How strikingly different was the conduct of the Ministry in reference to those Anglo-Rebel cruisers fitted out in England iu violation of internation nnd municipal law, and received with open arms of friendly hospitality in her ports after their career of plunder nnd death! In the affair of the Tcrccira expedition, the Duke of Wellington was a part, if not at tho head, of the English Ministry. "Will President Grant follow his example of the way to promptly discharge neutral obligations in respect to tho recent Cuban expedition from this port? THE MAYOR OF CORK. Fivm the y. y. Times. The English Government seems to be greatly perplexed as to what to do with the troublesome Mayor of Cork, who will persist iu abusing Eng land, threatening the Government, sympathizing with Fenians, aiid making himself generally ob noxious. He has hitherto carefully abstained from bringing himself within the reach of the laws f treason-felony, but ho has none the loss been a thorn in the side of the British authori ties. Cork has been tho headquarters of tho Fenian agitation since its commencement. Its population is notoriously inflammable, and easily excited to acts of violence ngainst the "base and brutal Saxon," aud His Worship the Mayor has certainly been coming it pretty strong ngainst the English rulo of Tate. The matter has at last become serious enough to demand the attention of Parliament, nnd a bill has been introduced by tho Attorney General for Ireland to remove the Mayor from the bench of City Magistrates, of which ho is er-ctfieio chairman. This is an extreme step to take, and though prepared by the Gladstone Ministry, aud certain to be supported by a largo majority both of Liberals and Tories, Mr. Disraeli" always tenacious of constitutional rights nnd prescriptive customs seemed to doubt as to the strict correctness of tho proceed ing. It certainly seems unfortunate that at the pre sent moment, when every effort is being made, consistently with the necessary constitutional and legal formalities, to remove all grounds of grievance from Irishmen qua Catholics, and when there is little doubt but that next session will see the passage of a measure designed to mitigate, if not to remove, the evils of "tho ex isting system of land tenure in Ireland, that a firebrand like the bellicose Mayor of Cork should have seized the occasion "to excite the too inflammable feelings of his townsmen, nnd to force tho English Government into an attitude of apparent hostility towards the sister island. After tho senti ments, however, which he expressed at the re cent dinner given to two released Fenians, we do not see how the British Government could be expected to allow him to retain a scat on a judi cial bench from which he might at any moment be called upon to pronounce a decision in cases in which his unconcealed animus against Eng lish rule would render him unfit to act as a repre sentative ot the Crown, it is therefore unfortu nate, we repeat, that an affair of this kind should have occurred lust now; but wo do not suppose that anything beyond local troubles if any at all are likely to ensue, or, at all events, to se riously retard the pacification of Ireland, now progressing so happily. TOO MANY IRONS. From the ,V. I'. TVmee, The French have a very old, very well-tested. and very true proverb Out tron tinbraste mat etreint whose pith we express somewhat less generally and less positively when we say a man has "too mauv irons in the fire." A nation, like an individual, can have too many irons in the fire, aud may attempt to clasp more than it can well hold; anil our universal ' Yankee nation seems nt this moment to be pre cisely one ot tills 6ort. v e have just now in the tire the Canada Iron, the Cuba Iron, the Mexican iron, the West Indian iron not to speak of several domestic irons, such as the national debt iron, the reconstruction iron, the internal im provement iron, tho Plains Indian iron, and many more irons, which lit) all together iu tho fire, and beg iu vain for the forge. Or, to take the French figure again, while Mr. Medill begs us to "embrace ' Canada, .Mr. Hunks asks us to embrace lloyti and Sun Domingo, Mayor Hall to embrace Cuba. Mr. Robin-ton to emln-iLpp Ire land, while many other gentlemen pressingly present the claims respectively of Crete, the fuuuwicu islands, m. i nomas, Sonora, Siualoa, t. lilliiiKliua, California, Central America, aud the Cannibal Islands all to be embraced at once in the clutch of long-armed Uncle Sam. This multiplicity and urgency is quite confusing couldn t it be so arruuged that we shall have one war huu one annexation at a time? THE USE OF RICH MEN From the S. )'. ,Sk. Men who devote theni.ivi.- n, i . tion of money me so olten guilty f llU Mru of meanness and fraud in accomplishing their pur pose, that it is not surprising to tind them as a class the objects of popular disfavor. Indeed we have Scriptural authorship for conshlcrlii'' them as less Inclined to virtuous habits ol thought and action than persona of more mode rate worldly acquisitions; ami experience shows that an excessive love of money hardens the, heart, blunts tho sensibilities, and obliterates all the nicer perceptions of the distinctions between right and wrong. Yet, in spite of this indisputable truth, thero is a light In which rich men may ho regarded as reallv valuable to the community, if not to them selves. It has been so ordered by the Great Ruler of tho world that, as a guneral thing, no one can acquire wealth without iu some way rendering service to his fellow-beings. If ho sends his ship across the ocean on a commercial venture, he can get no profit out of the voyage unless the goods those ships both carry and bring minister to tho necessities or promote the cnnilort of those who are expected to buy them. He cannot establish a manufactory and make It yield him the money ho covets unless his pro ductions arc such as a largo number of people think it to their advantage to use. He builds railroads and establishes steamship lines for the conveyance of passengers and freight,' but un less his enterprises are needed they como to nothing but failure. Tho ability to make a for tune, therefore, implies an ability to discern people's wants nnd to supply them; and though wo may think ill of tho avaricious motives that keeps tho machinery In motion, wo should ho foolish to despise its results. Besides this, as wo all know, money breeds money. John Jacob Astor used to say that tho getting of his first thousand dollars cost him more Pains than that of all his fortune besides. With large pecuniary means at his command, a man can attempt and cary out successfully schemes which would otlierwlso prove abortive. This principle is distinctly recognized when wo seek to comblno in the hands of an Incorporated company little driblets of capital which of them selves would be of Insignificant account, in deed, the single rich man, holding absolute con trol of the same amount of property, will employ it more efficiently than a company, be cause of the concentration of authority its pos session gives him. There aro many "kinds of business which no company can conduct so well as an individual, for this very reason. Then, too, in tho carrying on of his enter prises, a rich man, in spite of himself, provides employment for hundreds of persons who but for him might seek it in vain. Ho will grind down their wages, to bo sure, to tho lowest pos sible point, but ho must pay what ho agrees to pny, and thus nt least furnish tho half loaf which, as tho proverb says, Is better than no bread. Look through the country, and seo If this be not so if there are not thousands in every direction who depend upon some rich man for the work from which they derive their subsistence. Of course, we owe no thanks to most of our millionaires for tho good they accomplish. They arc looking out for their own interests, and only promote ours because they cannot help it. ' But when wc aro disposed to murmur at their beiug permitted to hold so much wealth, it may be of comfort to us to remember that, after all, they do not get tho exclusive benefit of their posses sions. They cannot live in all the houses they own, nor consume all tho luxuries they control, but they are lorced to let others partake witu them. What they ought to do is to recognize this fact themselves, and. making a virtue of necessity, curb their avarice, and govern their conduct" by just and generous principles. In this way only can they, with all their riches, be of use of themselves; whereas, if they take a contrary course, they are like beasts ot burden, valuable only for their ability to carry loads, which sooner or later they must lay dowu for otners to take up.
