THE D AIL. IT EVENINO TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1871. oriRZT or thh run a a. Editorial Opinions of the Leading Journal upon Current Toplot Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. THBJ COAL SWINDLE. From the A. T. World. The enormous increase in the price of ooal within the past day or two serves to point the explanation we have previously given of the cauaes and the foreshadowing we have made of the results of the scaroity whioh undoubt edly exists. The "prayer" whioh has been oironlated in Philadelphia, however severely and justly the form of it may be condemned, fa worth reproduction to show those who are responsible for this state of things how in tense the indignation of those who suffer by it is, and how precarious their own profits are Bo long as they are obtained by shameless extortion. The complaint of the miners deserves to be heard also. The companies have bad the canning heretofore to shift the odiam of the sudden and enor mons rise of prices from their own shoulders to those of a class which can give no belter expression than the inar ticulate form of a strike to the story of its own wants and woes. It has been shown that the difference in the wages of miners be tween their receipts and their demands is an infinitesimal fraction of the difference be tween what the price of coal ought to be and what it is. The last turn of the screw is so sudden and so severe that the responsibility of it cannot be evaded by those who have brought it about. A difference of from $5 to $7 a ton in the price of coal means to many thousands of families in New York and Phila delphia the difference between deoent com fort and abject destitution. Even the Legisla ture of Pennsylvania can hardly be so deaf to the cry of a plundered publio as to refuse taking some real and not merely plausible measures to prevent the recurrence of this flagrant and pernicious swindle. It will be well for the monopolists whom that Legislature permits to prey upon the publio to be admonished that there is a point at which publio resistance to outrageous extortion can organize itself, and that such an organization is apt to do justioe in a wild and hasty way. The countryman whose goose laid the golden egg lost not only his eggs but his goose when he attempted to get them all at once by disembowelling the auriferous fowl. In the old legend the goose simply died on his hands, but in Tenpyson's version of the fable it was taken from him with considerable violence. "There strode a stranger to the door, And It was windy weather." IS FRANK BLAIR ORTHODOX ? From tlie X. Y. Sun. The speech of General Blair in the Senate in reply to Mr. Morton on the general sub ject of reconstruction excites inquiry all over the country as to whether or not Blair has truly expounded the Demooratio creed. This is not surprising, for he is still a young man, not excessively cautious, and in the glow of debate sometimes utters opinions whioh require commentaries to bring them into con formity with recognized standards of politi cal orthodoxy. In this charaoteristio Gen. Blair reminds one of the late Dr. Lyman Beecher, who had to spend about half his time in explaining what he had written and eaid in the other half, and in trying to con vince his brethren that he was sound in the Calvinistio faith. - When analyzed, General Blair's speech will be found more closely in accord with the ideas of those Demoorats who declare the old issues dead than at first blush appears. lie in veighed against the means by which the rati fication of the fifteenth amendment had been secured in what he called the carpet-bag States; but, when closely questioned by Sena tor Morton, he admitted that that amend ment, as well as by implication the four teenth, was now part of the law of the land. This, of course, was an abandonment of everything practical in his opposition to the mere manner of their ratification. ' General Blair denounced the reconstruction acts under which the oarpet-bag governments were organized. But these governments having now been in operation three years, objections to the mode of their creation are of no avail, except to make a point against the party whioh thus initiated them. His anathemas could not disturb the validity of the governments, but"could only refleot upon the political character of their local adminis trations: and he insisted that trie true mean ing of the Broadhead letter was that, if the army was withdrawn from those States, those administrations would fall. The interpreta tion of that letter is of no practioal conse quence now; for the last eleotion in those States must have convinced General Blair that General Grant's blunders and imbeoilities are undermining the ascendancy of the Re publicans therein, showing that an insurrec tion through the ballot-boxes is more effective to this end than any possible intervention of bavonets. The onfy praotical point, therefore, in General Blair's programme, is his hostility to such reconstruction legislation, whether ex IstiDg or contemplated, as does not touoh the validity either of the Governments in the late Rebel States or the three recent amend ments to the Oonstitution, but whioh he in sists intended, under the guise of enforcing those amendments, to arrest by intimidation and force the swelling tide of opposition to the Republican party in the South. On this subject, no doubt, General Blair is in full fellowship with tne great mass of the Demo- cracy. Upon the whole, then, we think that the distinguished politician of Missouri, like the eminent divine of New England, will. through oooasional explanations and some tribulation, ultimately suooeed in making himself understood, and turn out to be reasonably sound in the faith.- Indeed, as Frank is a progressive politician and a darinc geiiius, he may yet beoome a new light, out shining all the old-fashioned orbs in the Democratio firmament CURE FOR INEBRIATES. Prom the K. Y. Tribun. Shall drunkards be punished or cured Are they best dealt with for their own good and that of the community at large when aent to jail, or to an inebriate asylum ? Is drunkenness a crime, or is it a disease: is the rational ground on whioh to meet it that of punishment or cure r To tne elucidation o the letter we recently published, giving the observations of a correspondent whom we Bent to investigate the workings of the Ulug Lauiton Asylum, forms a not unimportant contribution. The boy who first develops the insatiate craving for drink is regarded as a criminal at home, is liable to arrest and imprisonment, and is certain of dismissal from any religious body of which he may be a member. Now, what are the facts in his case? At asylums like this, they have made it their 1 study, as other physioians have done with consumption or deformities; have bad in their own care thousands of such patients, and cured them. Their state ments are so simple that a child can compre btsd them. "I claim for inebriates," says Dr. Parrish, in his masterly analysis of the philosophy of intemperance, "that they should not be made exceptions to the ordi nary rule, an it relates to the entire class of invalids. The common ills, such aa rheuma tism, cont, consumption, etc. are all trace able either to direct hereditary taint or to the accident of exposure, fatigue, eto. The same may be said of intemperance." By the here ditary taint, he does not mean that the mere taste for slcoboho liquors is transmitted from generation to generation, but that men are nbentlne ceitain temperaments which drive them to seek relief in these stimulants. They are born "suffering from the effects of an or ganization which tbey did not create, and from infirmities which they did not knowingly promote." "They come, says Maudesley, "into the world weighted with a destiny against which they have neither the will nor the power to contend; they are step-children of nature, and groan under the worst of tyrannies the tjrauuy of a bad organization." The other causes of exhaustion of nervous energy com mon among us, and which are increasing every year, he states jnBtly to be the inten sity of American social and business life the forcing of children's brains, the incessint drain npon the supreme nervous centre in the rivalry and struggle for money and power. Whenever, tberelore, from hereditary taint or this exhaustion of nervous energy, the patient seeks relief in aloohol, the disease assumes a dehmte form, the symptoms of which are given by Dr. Davis. Chief among these, and most liable to misconception by the ignorant, is the diseased condition of the gast ric and ganglionic nerves, which constitutes the morbid craving for rent wed stimulant that is railed against as a temptation of the devil. There would be quite as much reason in call ing the chills in ague a work of Satan. Dr. Davis puts the case forcibly: If the inebri ate, then, is the victim of a positive disease, induced by the action of an alluring and de ceptive physical agent, alcohol, will any num ber of moral lessons addressed to his intel lect, or any amount of denunciation hurled at his degradation and his vices, cure or reform him ? Or will his arrest, arraignment in a police court, and extortion of the few dollars he has left as a fine, eradicate the disease that is preying upon the most delicate part of his organization t The remedy urged by both science and humanity is the establishment of asylums for the inebriate where be can be subjected to medical treatment, receive brotherly encou ragement, be given employment suited to him, and secured a foothold in the outer world when fit to enter it again. Suoh asylums have been established by the state or private enterprise in New ioik, Massachusetts, l'enn sylvania, Texas, Illinois, and California. It is not essential that these establishments should be large. The most suoeessf ul, pro bably, are those in which the number of patients is so limited that each is brought into direct and constant contact with the superintendent, and receives indi vidual care and sympathy. Indeed, the massing of any class of patients together is always to be depreoated. No power foices its way so rapidly as a true idea. (slavery is blotted oat, and Intemperance, we believe, will be the next stronghold to disap pearnot before fanatical outcry, but the force of reason and soienoe. Before many years the drunkard, instead of being legally amenable to tines and imprisonment, will re ceive the rational treatment awarded to the insane, and be sent to an asylum. For the statistics of the aotual benefits conferred by these asylums, "e refer our readers to Dr. Parrish's pamphlet of whioh we published an abstract on the 27th ull. The average cured vary from 40 to 6 J per cent an average which will, of course, be largely increased when the subject is comprehended m its true relations by the patients and public WHY SHOULD FRANCE REVERT TO A MONARCHY ? From the London Spectator . It is curious to observe what an amount of disgust, and even anger, seems to be in spired in decent English society by the bare suggestion that i ranee should retain the form of a republic The Times writes of that possibility as if it meant nothing but political fever and ague, intermittent hot and cold nts, and endless unrest to all Europe. Now, we should very much like to make out what is at the root of this notion. We will admit that only a minority per beps not even a considerable minority of the nation, is at heart Republican in prinoiple that Is, opposed to the prinoiple of monarchy Bnt then it is quite as certain that what we must compare, is not the strength of the anti Republican party with that of the Republican for it la very certain that the various seo tions of the anti-Republicans will attaok, and oppose, and weaken each other even more bitterly than they will attack, and oppose, and weaken the Republicans but the strength of each of the Throne-parties with that of the Republican party. The Orleanists have ever been far more hostile to Napoleon and his dynasty, and the Imperialists have ever been far more hostile to the Orleanists, than either of these have been to the republic There is no use whatever in oounting the va rious partisans of a throne together; since for no practioal purpose whatever could they co operate. The peasants, who are said to be again calling out for "Notre pauvre Empa renr," would not care a rush for the Oointe de Paris, or do anything at all to prop up his throne even if it were raised, with them the came of Napoleon is still a familiar one, and in some sense dear; they have a theory which is absurd, but just as good for its Eurpose as if it were true that their poor imperor was "betrayed." They have never learnt to look with any but cold eyes on the Orleanists. The miseries which pre ceded the great Revolution and the faery trials which followed it, really weeded out all their regard for the ancient dynasty, if they ever had any, nor was there anything at all in the reigns of Louis XVIII or , Charles X or Louis Philippe to restore their lova for either branch of it. On the other hand, the bourgeoisie of Paris and certain distriots of Brittany, where the Orleanists have always had a certain popularity, will assuredly not be disposed to give the slightest aid to the Imperialists, especially in the hour of their deep and well-merited dUgraoe. The strength of the Republican party must be compared, not with the strength of all the parties which would prefer a monarchy if they could only agree upon a monarch, but with the full strength of the largest nioniruhi- cal party that baa a real solution of the problem ready; and it must be remembered, moreover, that the Republic would be far mere likely to receive a modified and provi sional support from the various friendi of a throne, than any section of tkom would re ceive from the other sections. So far, then, we see nothing at all to support the conven tional English view that a republic would be a very mucn less staoio torn of government than any throne (except, perhaps. that of Leopold of Belgium, if be could bring Belgium with him as his dowry), or at least any which has a practioal chanoe and a real body of support in France. It is useless to say that France is cot Republican at heart, if it be quite as irue as we believe it is that she is not Legitimist at heart, and not Orleanist at heart, and not, now at least, Napoleonist at heart, and that the Republican minority is not smaller, if so small, and certainly not less vigorous, probably much more bo, than any of these parties taken alone, and much more likely to receive a sort of passive aid from them than any of them would receive from the other. But is there not something in the mere constitution of a monarchy which promises more stability to France than can be possible from a republic ? "We do not see how this is possible apart from the question of the par ticular" ruler on the throne. What has Greeoe gnited by either Otho or George ? As far as we can see, not even a shadow of stability and immunity from political crisis. What is there to choose between the mouarchy of Greece and the least creditable of the South American Republics? We do not believe that King Otho and King George have been of the smallest use to Greece, or prevented a single evil which Greece would have had to endure had a republic been attempted. And Greece is almost the only true par allel for France not, of course, in poli tical condition but in relation to the absence of any competitor for the throne to whom we could look to give personal aid, by individual force of character, to the Govern ment, if Leopold of Belgium, indeed, were to take the throne, both by the magnificent dowry he would bring, and by his roputed personal moderation and astuteness, he might wield a beneficial influence. But what other candidate for the throne in there who would exercise a wise and sobering control over France ? The ex-Emperor ? If it were pos sible for the man who would unite so many fierce hatreds against him to resume the Government, it is clear enough on his own confession that any restraining and superin tending power whioh he may have had, had died out from him before he plunged into this war, and we can hardly suppose that the man who, before his calamity, was, as he himself main tains, a mere straw dancing on the politioal waves, would, in old age and growing weak ness, be able to moderate the passions he has roused. If the boy is to succeed, the ques tion of regent would be the supreme question, and then an even greater difficulty would break out afresh. Would you take an Impe rialist follower as regent when you had re jected the Emperor? Would the nation that could not tolerate Louis Napoleon accept Bazaine? Plainly, the passions whioh a resto ration of the fallen and helpless exile would provoke would be nothing to such a propo sal as that. Clearly, if you are to have a throne to temper and restrain the nation, it must be filled from some quarter which has cot recently excited against it any furious political passions, and as far as we know, only the Comte de Chambord and Comte de Paris are likely to be suggested. But what is there in either of them to encourage ths hope that thev would even last as long as Louis XVIII or Charles X? The Duo d'Au iii ale, indeed, has a reputation for ability, but by all accounts nothing would induoe him to accept a throne to whioh he thinks his nephew has so much better a right; and even if he did, his practical ability is quite untried; ho is known only as a man of a certain amount of literary power. If a royal line had not a sort of magic in it for which you cannot arti ficially manufacture any substitute, Trochu himself would probably be a far batter choice to act the part of a firm constitutional king than any of the Orleanists; and ho has made greater sacrifices for France. In the absence, then, of any feasible can didate for the throne who might fairly be ex pected to bring to the councils of France a materially sobering and restraining power, what is the ground of the superstition which argues for a throne qua throne, and without relation to the person who oooupies it ? It will be said, perhaps, that it at least limits the ambition of the leading statesmen, who can, at best, only hope to guide, and not ostensibly to rule. But is that a considera tion on the right Bide, the Bide of tempe rance ? Is not the undivided responsibility of the actual rnler for the time being a far more sobering influence than the divided re sponsibility of a mere counsellor? Would either Louis Napoleon or Emile Ollivier have decided on war, if either of them had been solely responsible, instead of dividing it with the other the Emperor with his parliament' ary Prime Minister, the Minister with the "responsible" head of the State ? Is not the undivided responsibility of our Cabinet far more sobering? and remember that this could only be attained in France by the ministry of a republic, for a dynasty holding so little direct control as our own over publio affairs can only be an element of stability where it has for generations secured the affections of the people a condition of things which is wholly inapplicable to the setting up of a bran-new dynasty. It would be simply absurd to start a new monarchy in trance that should be politically a cypher, and at the same time, which ours is very far from being socially a cypher too. we suspect that one of the grea) reasons of the extreme restlessness of France during the last half -century has been the recurrent irritation of the jealousy be tween the throne and the administration neither the throne nor the administrations bavins really sucoeeded in gaining the popu lar confidence, or, if they had, in persuading themselves that they had gained, and acting as if they possessed, it. The Government of France has been a series of hesitating ex peiiments on the favor of the people ever since the fall of the first Emperor. What remedy for this is, on the whole we will not Bay bo hopeful, for we do not know what is hopeful there but so clearly not oertain to fail as a republio a republican Assembly cot nominated by the great cities, but by France which should keep the whole power in its own hands, be able to change the actual administration at a mo ment's notice if it pleased, and so bs com pelled to assume the undivided responsibility of governing France, returning for new sanc tion to the people every four or five years? This is a form of republio which has never teen tried, and which is, we think, at least likely to i rove a much more sober form than the ordinary one, and much more suited to the special genius ot France. The notion that Presidents chosen for a fixed period of time are guarantees against popular caprice is, we are well convinced, a political superstition. This plan all but ensures a considerable jealousy between the President and hW pirlia meet greatly hampers the machinery of government even among a solid and stable people like the Americans and iu the case of a mercurial people like the French, puts di rect tempvUi on s of the strongest kind in the way of the President to get rid of his parlia ment as bebt he can. Tet a minister feel that bis tenure of office is conferrod and absolutely limited by the pleasure of the popular Assem bly by which he was chosen, and his first object is, and must be, to avert jealousies between the two, to study its genius and temper, and to retain its confidence by win cing its respect. That is practically onr ptan, and though we have the no doubt considerable advantage of a throne whioh is at present re spected and popular, to form at letst a strong centre of the political and social fabric, the Queen is no more a President than she is her own Prime Minister; and if she wore, there would be endless squabbles between her and Parliament every session, whioh would no doubt end, as they ended with the Stuarts, in a direct conflict. What seems, to us at all events, absolutely clesr is, that in the case of a restless nation, an Artificially-manufactured centre of politi cal life is a positive mischief, a oertain caihj of struggle. An absolute assembly and the minister it chose might do many foolish things, but we exceedingly doubt if they would be half so liable to try dangerous ex periments as Emperors, Kings, or Presidents. The Crimean war was undoubtedly the Em- Eeror'a policy. This last war would never ave been undertaken if the Corps Lgistatif bad as that was had had to take the full responsibility of it. The invasion of R me in 184! was jointly the republic's and the President's doing, and it was a very bad measure; but it was at least thought safe; and cot a hazardous experi ment made for the sake of glory, ropmar parliaments, and ministers who are the ap pointees ot popular parliaments, are now almost always and even morbidly cautious. England will cot venture anything for her old ally. Italy will not venture anything for her political savior. The Prussian Parliament would never have made war on Austria, tbouRh Bismarck end the King did so. Whatever may be said and we admit a great deal could be said for a wise aod cautious King for France, such as the late King of Belgium, a wise king who should be in some sense his own first minister, we sincerely doubt if any solution of the difficulties be fore the cation be so bad as the solution of a figure-head king accepted from mero super stitious fear of the bogy of republiciaUai.
