POLITICAL COnitTTrTWK AND NA
TIONAL DISASTER.
From tke London Spectator.
A remarkable lelter in the Daily Newt
Seems to afford the real key to the expHni
lion of tbe gigantio failures of the French
ftrmy. The writer was tjlJ by two graziers
of Picarcjy, as a matter within their o tu
knowledge, that in a very considerable num
ber of instances which they could specify the
military authorities had got only 1800 men in
a full regiment, instead of 8000, though there
were !3(H)0 names on the rolls. The modus
operandi was this. Fourteen or fifteen yours
ago, private societies undertook to find sub
Btitnte for such of those drawn in the con
scription as conld pay for a substitute. While
this wat ho, those societies received the con
scripts' money, and as it was, of course, the
interest of the army authorities to get the
full number of men, the men wore always
provided. But since tho law bus re
quirtd the money paid by those
who enn pay for substitutes to be paid di
rectly into the military chest, it has become
the interest of those who control the military
chest to pocket the money and put sham
soldi ra on the rolls. These graziers of
Ficnrdy told the Daily Neics' correspondent
that tLey could point out many oompanies
which Lonrinally consisted of one hundred
men, and could only muster about thirty, and
as we lme said before, they maintained that
the average French regiments could not mus
ter much above half their nominal strength.
How, individual statements of this kind, made,
as they only could be made, from personal
knowledge of a few selected cases, would be
utterly" worthless as evidence, if they did not
agree so marvellously with the conspicuous
facts of the war. The French have been not
only disastrously outnumbered, but their
armies have fallen ludicrously short of their
nominal strength. Every one who knows any
thing of the war knows that of the
7."0,00() men whom the French army should
have numbered on a war footing, barely
400,000 fighting soldiers were to be found in
France before the great defeats. And if this
folicy of embezzling the 80 paid by every
reach conscript as Bubstitute-money has
been laigely pursued in some regiments,
there can be little doubt that it has spread
more or less throughout the whole French
army. It is a "real cause," i. e., one proved
to exist, end also one adequate to produce the
remarkaUe effects which have been produced;
kence, we may fairly assume it as one of the
most pro! able of all the hypotheses account
ing for the French failure. That the same
cause gross corruption was at work in the
Comnribttriat Department and the depart
ments regulating the 'supply of Chassepots,
every one knows. Everywhere the French
army has been starved to enrich individuals.
TLis is the more serious a lesson to us, be
cause pecuniary corruption is the very root of
the greatest and most menacing evils in every
Anglo-Sax jn society. It caused a great pro
portion of the disasters in the Crimea. It
caused eformous waste and many disasters in
the American Civil War. It still causes the
greatest possible political evils in American
society. It was certainly at the root of the
monstrous waste of our Abyssinian campaign,
where th published evidence goes to show,
for instance, that a good million sterling was
wasted oh mules never wanted, or at least
. never used; that "CoesuIs and Vice-Consuls
received huge commissions for a few weeks'
service in procuring mules"-i-we quote from
Allen's Indian Mail of the 23d of August
that "a large batch of camels was bought at
Suez the day after Magdali was
Inoun to have fallen;" and gene
rally, that several millions were wasted on
what was known to be useless to the expedi
tion, for the gain of various classes and indi
viduals. Unless there be some early and
severe check to this sort of canker at the
heart of nil great organizations, the Germans,
who seem at present to be almost completely
free from the temptation to corruption, will
not only become the masters of Europe, but
deserve to be so. No nation can confess
more plainly its complete nnworthiness to be
held as of any great account in the political
counsels of the world than by giving evidence
that its average citizens those whose opin
ions build up the publio life of the State
value their own private interests so far more
highly than the publio interest that they
will cheat the State to serve them
selves. It is quite certain that people
of this kind do not deserve to belong to a
State which exercises a wide control in
foreign ailttirs, and that they take the surest
possible means to undermine the very foun
dations of the controlling power. A tem
perate, frugal, and laborious Germany, in
which every man really honored the State as
the true organ of what they call with so much
love "the Fatherland," would have every
right to what it would ceitainly soon gain
a predominant influence in Western Europe,
if its only rivals were a selfishly and un
scrupulously mercantile Great Britain, a
false and gasconading France, and an ' in
triguing, wily, pliant Italy. There is no such
thing as a great State built up out of a people
that is not great. If any sort of corruption
pervades publio morality, this dry-rot must
attack, and sooner or later, as now in Franoe,
go far towards raining the State.
But there is undoubtedly in the present
day a very large amount of political corrup
tion whnh does not imply anything like as
great an extent of peiBonal corruption as it
would if the same deceptions were practised
on private persons; and it is to the extinction
of this that we look most hopefully, for when
once tbe morality of a whole nation has be
come conscientiously indifferent to the obli
gations of sincerity and honesty, inveighing
against tnose sins is as unprofitable as the
most udj rofltnble of all the exercises of the
pulpit. Xso iuigushman, however, can doubt
that there is a great deal of political corrup
tion which does not imply any equivalent
amount of personal corruption, and so far,
perhaps, a remedy is possible. Surely there is
Hope of teaching people teaching children as
a part of their ordinary school education
that instead of its being less wrong to cheat
a corporation or a public department than it
is to cheat an individual, it is. if you can
weigh guilt against guilt, a great deal more
so r The thinkers of old time used to say
that every moral rule was magnified, a hun
dredfold in relation to the Mate in modern
times, the comparative difficulty in realizing
the definite wrong inflicted, in seeing ex
actlywho really Buffers for your meanness
when yon cheat a board, or a corporation, or
a government department, that makes it
otherwise now. Yet what can illustrate tbe
old maxim better than such disasters as those
fromwlich Franoe is pow suffering? Is not
every peer Ittion which robbed a single regi
went of its full strength now written out, as it
were, in tbe flaming letters of burning towns
and desilated plains? Is not every little
cheat by which the army was depm eJ o
chassepots for which the price had lxa paid.
or the Commissariat defrauded f w'ul was
essential to the health and comfort of the
soldiery, magnified now into the sort of
treason which brings whole nation into
mom-Bin? and provinces into subjection to a
foreign soke? If such lessons m the did-
asters of the Crimea and of the Franoo
rrnssian war of 1870 will not teach how un
limited is the consequence of every im
morality committed against the State, how
rapidly the infection of sins against the State,
or agairst any molecule of the State, spreads
till all its strength is undermined, and it is
left a mere name for a rope of sand, what
moral lesson can be taught at all? We
cannot but believe that it would be quite
easy to diffuse a tone of morality in which
cheating the State would be regarded
as the next thing to blasphemy in fact, as
cheating of an infinitely deeper dye, instead
of a less guilty kind, than the cheating of
individuals. So far, of course, as the mere
dishonesty is concerned, there is no choice
between cheating an individual and cheating a
community. But so far as the consequences
go, every man feels that stealing from a poor
man is worse than stealing from a rich to
the same extent, and that a theft which ruins
is worse than a theft the effect of which is
hardly perceived. It is impossible to teach
children that stealing from the State is the
Bleating which ruins, is the stealing from the
poor man whose wages form the revenue of
the State; that stealing from a corporation is
stealing health and happiness from the
population over whose health and happiness
that corporation is the sole guardian; that
stealing from the army is stealing from the
poor men who guard England; that stealing
even from the treasury is stealing from the
resources by which the poor combine to pro
cure for themselves a good government;
that stealing from any department of the
State is the wilful introduction of a most
oontagious disease which ends in death? One
would think nothing easier than to make it
evident, even to children, that the peculiar
defenselessness of the State, in the deficiency
among its guardians of that vivid self-interest
which protects private interests, adds, like
the helplessness of the blind man against
those who would plunder him, a new igno
miny to any fraud committed upon it. And
if with this be combined the immense area
over which fraud against the publio interests
spreads, if it spreads at all, and the terrible
destruction it breeds, one would suppose it
quite possible to bow anew in the publio the
ancient feeling that any sin of this kind
against the organ of the people is really more
guilty, instead of less so, than a like sin
against an individual. In truth, the religious
feeling which substitutes God for
the object of every guilty ac
tion, great or small, while it has
done a great deal to strengthen private
morality, has done a good deal to weaken
relatively the Bprings of publio morality, by
rendering those who have no religious feel
ing comparatively indifferent to all offences
which are not on the face of them productive
of immediate pain and suffering. Many a
man who would not for his life rob a widow
or an orphan will think nothing of robbing
a department. Surely it is possible to
introduce into elementary schools
enough explanation of the result to
innumerable more helpless persons
than widows and orphans of robbing depart
ments the fearful result, too, in the way of
making widows and orphans to inspire all
men who have any vestige of moral feeling
at all with a certain sense that the State is far
more sacred than any individual that it
really represents the strength -and shield of
millions of individuals, who will be not only
less happy, but less noble, less honorable,
less just, less generous beings, if the State be
once turned to ignoble uses by selfish and
vulgar men.
