Editorial Opinionsof ths Leading Journal upon Current Topic Compiled Every Day for lha Evening Telegraph THE FALL OF FRANCE. f,om the A. T. Itrruld. As the end of her present hopeless struggle approaches we are naturally drawn freoi France of the past to France of the futnre, 'fallen from her high estate."' The mind ac commodates itself with difficulty to totally new conditions which reverse the whole previous current of history. Our eyes have been so long rilled with the spectacle of a supreme and dominant France that they have long refused to see what must now be her place in the world. Aud we have had our hearts filled so long with the bright and hnppy thought of civilized nations living together in progres sive peace, that it has scarcely been possible for lis to realize that the future of humanity, in the Old World at least, will bo regulated not by that ideal, but by the very different one of the stronger, wiser, and more culti vated peeple holding down by sheer force those who have not reached such a height of moral and material force. But, above all things, we must study thing as they are; and these shape themselves now for France aud Europe in a why unexpected, but which may yet prove beneficent to mankind. The great point to be observed in forming opinion npon the future of France, and ac cordingly of Europe, is that her armies have not merely been defeated in the field, but the nation is subdued by the German nation. It is a vanquished people, and will Boon be a completely subjugated land; nay, it is so al ready. That question was decided virtually when the provisional government determined to continue the contest with Germany after Sedan, instead of submitting at once to the cession of the frontier provinces. It is use less now for the most ardent sympathizers with France to regret what has bap- pened. For the splendid it was not to be, with traditions of the great na- tion. that she should have confessed her- self nnable to expel the Germans after Kedan. Those who held the foremost rank in the world do not abdicate until sheer force compels. And, whatever be the future of the bright people of France, they will always be happier and more self-respecting for having tried a last desperate effort to save themselves after their wretched empire went down in shame and blood. This last noble and spirited appeal to the moral power supposed to be latent in the name and idea of a republic was a grand example of chivalrous though Quixotic exaltation of mind; and Frenchmen, while their language lasts, will be always able to say, "Our Paris and our France fell, but fell righting to the last with face turned to the foe." But the game is lost, and apparently lost, so far as human foresight can go, forever. The future Government of France, in the broad and radical sense of the term, will now be regulated according to the interests and determination of victorious Germany. The Germans are very thorough, very searching, very scientific in their theory as well as their practice; and it is not merely a king or an em peror or a diplomatist who will have to settle the future condition of France, but the scien tific mind of Germany at large. Emperors and diplomatists will but be the organ of this vast general purpose ofjthe Teutonic people. And we may be satisfied that the question will be dealt with not upon any humanitarian or cosmopolitan grounds, but the single principle of disabling France from ever renewing her attack again npon the united Germany which for the first time comes into politicar exist ence. It is not altogether the most pleasant idea in the warld, but we may be Burn that France will henceforward be dependent and disarmed, and that from the vantage ground of Metz and etrasburg the vigilant German mind and eye and arm will henceforward keep inexorable watch over tne defeated people, repressing every tendency to military resur rection, bucn government as .trance can form now will be the creature of the necessity of the hour, and virtually, though not for mally, the oil spring of the conqueror s will And he will consult, nrat ol au, ins own ne cessity and interest, thinking enly in the seeond place of unhappy France. It is very difficult to forecast so dark and uncertain a future, but at a moment when every intelligent man is asking what is to become of France, we cannot help trying to peer through the gloom to see if, haply, there may be some brighter thing beyond; and, so striving, we can see this at all events that the best chance for the brilliant French is to be so watched and guarded from the revival of the military demon within them as to oblige them perforoe to turn their splendid faculties and generour temper to culture and to commerce, to science, to literature, and to ait. But the problem is one of inordinate difhculty, and to watch its solution will be incomparably the most absorbingly interest' ing object ever presented to the politioal and social observer. For hitherto force has been the ruling principle in French politics, and her fanatical parties have sought war abroad to stave off mutual extermination at home. What will now happen when France will have that resource cut off altogether now that she needs must find some mode of settling her domestio affairs without a reour rence to the stimulant and sedative for it has been a sedative to France, queer as the tqing may sound of foreign war 'i How will her five parties of Legitimists, Orleanists, Imperialists, White Kapublicans, and lied lie publicans live together in some form of com mon citizenship without the intermittent fever of bloodshed ? How will French historv write itself now that it can no longer oscil late between civil and foreign war 't These are Indeed grave questions, and wise would be the man who could answer them. In the meantime it must not be overlooked that some of the most advanced minds anion the Germans are beginning to propound very extraordinary doctrine upon ttuuse questions. They suggest that at the present day and in the present generation they are absolutely incapable of solution, and that it may be that German troops and German officials will have to remain for a generation or two in t ranoe to teach a new race of Frenchmen geography and good temper, and flavor the nisuly-sea soned French disposition with just a drop or two of humility, so that the French of the twentieth century may live in peace and amity with their neighbors, these advanced Ger man lumun declare mat t ranoe caunot now govern Len-elf; that uhe has tried it for a ceu tury and failed; that, in point of fact, she ntver did form a decent government; that her uncien reaime was one long horror of vio lence and wickedness, and her revolutionary fieri od has been but a succession of failures n domestic government, marked by assaults on her neighbors. These muc.h-br00.liu3 Geru.aiiS declare, amid the tobacco! fumes of . hoK8 lotg pipes which seem to typify their long-beadednesd, that it would be a sin and a shame to leave Frenchmen any longer to their own devices, and that they must plaoe the whole people nnder their tutelage for a long time, until a generation arises which ac knowledges that Germans are not barbarians and the old poison of egotism is expelled from i rench veins. All this seems extravagant enough, but the thought is there and will tell. To suppose that Germans will bold 1 rench territory in definitely may seem a wild thing; but they are at least not likely to leave until they are paid their vast indemnity. And ever after wards, at the very least, the German sword will hang menacingly over the head of France. But fche will have great compensations. Freed from military burdens, Bhe may grow rich with astounding rapidity. And what bounds can be set to the intellectual victories which her brilliant people may achieve when cul ture of the German type is universal through the land? At the bottom of this dreadful Pandora's box there is hope, a bright hope, yet. THIEVES AND DETECTIVES. From the N. Y. Sun. The method upon which the municipal de tective service is conducted in the principal cities of this country requires a thorough overhauling and an immediate reform; for at present it is utterly demoralizing in its ten dency, and in many instances atlords protec tion and encouragement to the most hardened thieves and transgressors. 1' roru the first in troduction of the infamous "stool pigeon" system the service has been going on from bad to worse, until now its practical opera tion has become simply intolerable. We do not say that there are not honest and well meaning men engnged in the vocation of de tectives, although it is a wonder that any such are to be found under the system now generally in vogue. I hose who lorm tneir idea of tne American police detective from the Hawkihaws of the stage, or the accomplished protean actors de scribed in novels, know little of the actual facts. The American detective of to-day is a fashionably dressed gentleman with a propen sity for diamonds, who is known to all the thieves and on the best of terms with the whole race of them. Philadelphia has the un enviable reputation of supporting detectives who are on more intimate relations with the criminal classes than those of any other city; but neither Boston nor New York is much behind in this respect, and it is not an un usual thing in either of the three named cities to see tne detectives drinking and associating on terms of intimacy with the most notorious criminals. The result of such a course must be evidont to all. The detectives will almost inevitably become more or less contaminated through their social intercourse with criminals, while the latter, finding themselves treated with fami liarity and consideration by the official repre sentatives of the law, grow bold and reck less in their operations. Thus they are en couraged to think that thieving is a pretty respectable occupation after all, and come to look upon robbery as a legitimate speo illation in which they take certain chances, fully ex pecting to lose their liberty in case of failure, unless their friends of the detective force are able to help them out of their difficulty in return for money, valuable information, or other satisfactory consideration. This intimate association of detectives and criminals leads, and is expected to lead, to mutual confidences; and the former, anxious to handlo liberal rewards and achieve a repu tation for smartness in their profession, f re quently enter into agreements with the latter through whioh adroit and skilful scoundrels are guaranteed immunity in their nefarious pursuits, in consideration of information given in relation to the misdeeds of other and perhaps less dangerous rogues. Worse than this, it is not an unusual occurrence for innocent parties to be seduced into the com mission of crime for the express purpose of being betrayed into the hands of the polioe; while the experienced criminals who lay the plans and tempt the victims escape scot free, with full liberty to plunder the public with out fear of molestation. It is known to all familiar with police matters that it is not an unusual occurrence for thieves to divide their eybils regularly with deteetive officers in con sideration of being allowed to pursue thetr occupation unmolested; while as a rub it is the detective who acts as. go-between in the werk of compounding felony in cases of bond robberies and other depredations where thieves come into possession of property which they cannot safely convert into money. - It will at once be seen that with such a state of things the honest detective who seeks only to do his duty stands no chanoe beside the corrupt officer who, while stuffing his purse with the spoils of erime, by his double dealing aud cunning contrives to be brought continually before the publio as a zealous and efficient officer in consequence of the frequent arrests that he makes. Thorough reform is imperatively demanded, and the sooner it is done the better for all concerned. No deteotive, known aa such, should be allowed to associate with criminals on terms of equality; and the fact of a detee tive being guilty of such association should be considered a sufficient proof of a corrupt complicity, and should entail bis immediate dismissal. The employment of known crimi Hals to entrap others of their own class should be entirely prohibited. When the exi gencies of a case require that the confidence of suBnected or known criminals should be gained, outside parties should be employed to do the work under tne supervision 01 ex perienced detectives, unless the circumstances are such that a regular deteotive can accom plish the matter himself without exposin bis identity. And under no ciroumstances whatever should a detective or other police official be allowed to have any part or lot in the recovery of propsrty by compounding felony. The detective service, properly conduoted, would command the respect of all and be of inestimable benefit to the community. With a continued toleration of the abuses which Lave become engrafted upon it, the thieves alone will have any great interest in its per petuation. THE NEW PAllTi'. From the H. T. Tribune. Nearly a year ago, there was a gathering of "revenue reformers" in Washington, culmi nating in a dinner with fluid modifications, wherewith certain sympathizing editors aud correspondents rejoicingly refreshed them selves. Having safely found their way henoe to their respective lodgings, these enlighten- era of the public proceeded to indite letters to their several journals, revealing so much as was judged prudent and proper of the plans of campaign which had been matured and adopted by their field-marshals. The more conspicuous protectionists in Congress were ilepublicans, or court e; and the re formers proposed to inaugurate their crusade by reforming those out of their seats and Bending reformers in their htead Republi cans, if the KennbUcans could be eajolod or LulLed into nominating that sort; if not, then Democrats. We prompt '.y oopied and called attention to these bulletins of yiotories yet unwon. The programme thus agreed on na since been oarried out, to the extent of the plan-( eers ability. iney nave, by tne distran chisenient of the crippled soldiers in the National Asylum near Dayton, returned Lew. Campbell in place of General ocuencK; they have exulted over the defeat of Messrs. Morrell and McCarthy by other protection ists; they have given ovet Missouri to the Democrats, beaten three or four Republi can Congressmen ia Illinois; and would have beaten Messrs. Kelley of Pa., Bingham of Ohio, Ketcham of N. Y., and several other Republican protectionists if Ihey could but have polled enough votes. On ice whole, they nave reduced the i;epublican strength in the next House by ten or a dozen votes, and have a joyful hope of beating two or three more Republicans by Democrats in the Mates wnicn nave yet to choose their Representatives. This is not, bad for a be ginning. Tae moment the November elections were over a more ambitious programme was put forth. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed, in effect, that old parties and old issues were dead; and that a new organization was des tined to sweep the country. A free trade Republican was to be chosen Speaker of the next House by the votes of all the Democrats combined with the revenue reformers, upon au understanding that the Democrats should bave their say about the committees. The averting list, at. Louis Democrat, and chorus, assailed General Grant's administra tion more openly and virulently than before the l'ont exulting over the increased Demo cratic (mostly Rebel) vote at the South, as proof of the unpopularity of the President. For a time the cabal having eaten another and still better dinner in company fancied that the world lay meekly at their feet. Of late, a change has come o er the spirit of their dream. No ten Republicans elected to next House can be named who do not scout the suggestion that they can ever be induced to vote with the Democrats to or ganize the House adversely to thi great body of the Republicans. Nay, more: not half the Democrats are ready to vote for any man as bpeaker who is not an avowed Democrat. And it is well understood that, should a ma jority of the Democrats undertake to plough with any strange, heifer under the fla of revenue reform, a very strong minority, in cluding nearly all the Pennsylvanians, will stubbornly refuse to be drawn into such a questionable alliance. It is probable that there are at this moment aa many "pig-iron Democrats" as Republican free-traders elected to the next House. Hence we note prodigal assurances that the new party is indefinitely postponed that the revenue reformers purpose to fight their battle inside tho Republican lines that they never intended to be other than Republicans, etc. etc. And, whatever they may have in tended months ago, it is plain that most of the reformers now mean to call themselves Republicans for the present. But, gentlemen, we submit, your notions of vthat adherence to a party implies are pecu liar. The recent partial successes of the De mocratic party are mainly your work. You handed over Missouri to the Demoorats; your organs exulted over the defeat of Schenck. Morrell, etc., by .Democrats; you have taught your disciples to detest the great majority of the Republicans in Congress as monopolists and plunderers; aud those disoiples therefore vote tne Democratic ticket, lour nominal adherence to the Republican party can do it no good so long as you tell tho people that most Republicans are intent on subjecting them to extortion and robbery. We are used to such imputations from our open adversa ries, and are little harmed by them; but, from men professing our political faith, they are more damaging and onensive. W e think you should decide either to come into the Republican party or stay out of it. You are not in it while you are plotting the defeat of its foremost representatives who are also its regular candidates for re-election. When you talk of them as yon have talked this year of General bebenok, Messrs. Mor rell, Aeiiey, etc., tnose wno believe in you will vote against tnem, even though not ex pressly urged by you to do so. Better stand somewhere. The Republican party has suffered quite enough from those who wear its uniform in order to fire more effectively into its ranks. If you cannot support men of undoubted ability and good character who are its candi dates, your hearts are elsewhere, and your legs should follow them. Choose your future position for yourselves, but let it be on one side or the other. POLITICAL BLACK-MAIL. From the X. Y. 2'mtea. Senator Wilson has brought in a bill to prevent the levying of assessments on office holders for politial purposes. It is credit able to tne senators intentions; but we ought to call his attention in the strongest manner to the inexpediency of touching this abuse at all without going to the root of the matter. A law against assessments, like the laws against bribery and usury, and many other laws whion can only be proved to have been broken by the very persons who have broken them, must virtually be a dead letter, ihe person wno pays tne assess ment, like the person who takes the bribe. has, of course, every possible motive not to reveal the transaction to any one; and yet without his informing and giving proof of ibe commission 01 the offense, no convic tion for it can be obtained. The result of the passage of Senator Wilson's bill will therefore be, that while the country will have received fresh prooi of the need of some kind of civil service reform, the statute-book will be burdened with one more inoperative law; and the publio, or a portion of it, will, per- baps, be deceived into the belief that some thing has been done to remove the evils of the present system, when in reality nothing naB been done, xnis remark applies in an equal degree to the bill brought in by Sena tor xrnmbuii last session, making it a mis demeanor for any Senator or Representa tive to engage in office-seeking at any of the departments, or recommending candi- dates tor places, unless his opinion was asked by the Executive. No such act could be enforced. Heads of Departments would not prosecute. They could not anord to make bitter and determined enemies in Con greb8; witnesses would not testify, and the law would remain inoperative. Nobody sup- poseB, 01 course, that the two senators are not sincere in desiring reform, and that their bills are not meant to bring it about; but it may not be amiss to remind them that the in troduction of just such impracticable mea sures as theirs is one of the moans to which those who want to defeat a reform most fre quently resort. There is no way bo effectual of throwing its friends off their guard, and blunting the edge of criticism. There is one general principle which is ap plicable to all abuses, for which individual legislation is responsible, and it is that in fclead of trying to punish people for doing wrng, we must take away from them the power of doing it. It is now generally re cognized that the only way to cure the cor ruption arising out of speoial legislation is to take a ray from Legislatures the power or pass ing special Iswb "with' money '. in them." There is no use in forbidding bribery as long" as we leave it worth anybody's while to bribe. Ihe way to prevent the Rale or abuse ot the power of nominating cadets at West Foint, is to take it away from Congressmen altogether: everylnxly.is now of that opinion. We can not frighten the Whittemores and Butler by the threat of expulsion; they will always be ready to take the risk for the sake of the money. So, also, with regard to assessments on office-holders, and all the other abuses and corruptions attendant on the present system of office-seeking. The remedy for them is to relieve the office-holder from his obliga tions to the party for his office. If he gets his place not by influence but by merit, and is sure of retaining it as long as he behaves himself well, there will be no inducement for him to pay anybody for getting it for him, or for the privilege of retaining it, and he will laugh at anybody who attempts to "assoss" him for political purposes. Of courso, if he is an ardent politician, he can subscribe to campaign ex penses, if he pleases; but if he does not care lor these things, and has other uses for bis money, he will decline, and thus all necessity for prosecuting anybody, and fining or imprisoning anybody on account of assess ments, will be avoided. Very few Govern ment clerks would give any money for politi cal purposes if they could help it. Their salaries are very small, generally too small; in the case of men with families dependent on them,wrtetchedly small. The reason why they pay assessments is either that they regard them as part of the price for which they ob tained their offices, or fear that if they re fused to pay assessments they would lose their omces. Change the mode of getting and keeping places in the public service, and we reach the root of the difficulty, but it cannot be reached in any other way. The best members of Congress are almost as much disgusted with the present state of things as the oihee. holders and the public. To the men who are really occupied with the work of legislation, the whole business of finding places for party adherents is a dreadful bore and nuisance. The pathetic appeal for deliverance from it which Mr. Kelley, of Philadelphia, put forth last winter, expressed the feeling of nearly every man in both houses whom the country is really inerested in keeping there. A mem ber who has hisniind occupied as every mem ber ought to have his mind occupied with the tariff and the currenoy, and the internal revenue, and the land grants, and the banks, and the Indian question, has neither time nor attention to spare for the work of getting the Browns into the Treasury or the Smiths into the Custom House. If this class of legisla tors could be allowed to settle the matter, there would be a speedy end to the whole nuisance. But the difficulty is that the num ber of those who owe their seats in Congress to persons whom they have undertaken to reward, and whoso minds are constantly occu pied with the readiest means of retaining them, is very great, and they are suffi ciently opposed to any change to make change impossible, till it is demanded by a stronger pressure of publio opinion than now exists. There is, however, hardly a Congres sional district in which evidences of deep feeling on this subject do not begin to ap pear, and every year is sure to make it deeper. The great body of the voters do not want offices, either for themselves or their friends, and do not care who gets them, provided the work of the Government is properly done. But they do want the time of their members of Congress to be devoted to the publio busi ness, and they are beginning to understand very rapidly that until some change is made not over half of it, and in too many cases none of it, will be available for this purpose.
