GERMAXY AKD ALSAOE. ...
From Ite London Saturday JlevUie .
Germany bas at last rot Elsara and as moon
of Lothringen as she chose to take, and, hav
ing got them, she has 'now to povern them
and make thorn her own. It ta one of the
moot curious and interesting experiments
in the art of government that this modern
world has teen. Elsass cannot forget the
days when it was Alsace. In some unpleasant
and unaccountable manner it cares mora for
Fraace than it does for Germany, and tram
plea on history, and ignores race, and pro
tests against the results of the war. For a
wonder, it aotnally in the nineteenth century
is sot on the side of success.
Naturally the ' French, who ' have
not much to be proud ' of just no,
are very proud of this; for there is no dispute
about the fact. Prince Bismarck, who at least
has the merit of supreme frankness, allows
his ceuntrymen to foster no illusions on the
matter. Elsass rejects its historical mother,
and clings to its naughty, unfortunate, suffer
ing nurse. But the Germans are not to be
baffled easily. They have set themselves so
to govern Alsace that the day shall come
when its French sympathies will have died
away, and it will know and think of nothing
but Germany. How this is to be done is a
great problem in government, and the mode
in which the problem is sought to be
practically solved is worth the most attentive
study. An excellent description of the Ger
man rule in Alsace has been given under the
signature of Albert Dumont in the last num
ber of the licvue des Deux Mondes. Of
course it is written from the French point of
view. The writer exults in the failure which
the Germans have hitherto had to encounter.
But it does not appear to be an unfair account
of what has happened, for the author renders
ample justice to the mixture of indulgence
and firmness which the GermanB have dis-
Elayed. His triumph would not, in fact, be
alf what it is if he blackened the character
of the conquerors, or spoke of them as men
without skill and without a knowledge of the
arts of empire. What delights him is that,
in spite of all the pains they have taken to
apply the most judicious mixture of harsh
ness and lenity, in spite of their knowing
everything, foreseeing everything, bearing
and forbearing largely and long, Elsass can
not abide them, has not the slightest wish to
belong to Germany, and pines for the day
when it shall be once more Alsace.
Immediately after the battles of Weissem
burg and Woerth, Alsaoe and German Lor
raine were seized on as part of Germany.
Every minute detail had been foreseen, and
the exact frontier line had been studiously
traced long before by German patience and
skill. This new part of Germany was at
once governed as if it were part of Germany.
It was never treated as the districts of France
were treated that were occupied by the Ger
man armies. . Strasburg was indeed bom
barded, and M. Dumont represents the Alsa
tians as resenting the needless cruelty of the
bombardment. It was quite certain that
Strasburg must yield directly the pa
rallels were poshed far enough,:
and the French ' garrison had no
means of preventing the besiegers from
making their approaches. The bombardment
did no good to the enemy, while it inflicted
infinite misery on the inhabitants. But how
ever true this may have been, it is not pre
tended that the people of Strasburg would
have looked with any more favor on their
conquerors if they had not been bombarded;
so that the objeotion to the bombardment is ,
the general objection that all bombardments
are useless, rather than that the Ger
mans were unwise in adding this to the other
causes of the antipathy of Alsace. When
Strasburg came into their hands the Germans
fixed there the seat of their administration.
A regular machinery for governing the pro
vince was instituted, and the new authorities
set themselves to the double task of making
it understood that the Germans were the
true friends of Alsace, and of re
pressing every sign of sympathy for
France. The Count of Bismarck-Bohlen
was appointed Governor, and although M.
Dumont sneers at his piety, he unhesitatingly
confesses that the Count showed himself most
amiable, considerate, and polite. His subor
dinates worked in the same spirit. But Ger
man politeness is consistent with displays of
the utmost rigor when rigor seems necessary,
and very harsh measures were taken to inspire
a wholesome dread of counteracting the plans
of the conquerors. It was declared to be a
matter of honor with all functionaries that
they should work on behalf of Germany as if
they were GermanB. They were expected to
afford every facility to the military operations
of the Germans, and to do everything to
baffle the possible military operations of the
French. No one was allowed to pass out of
the commune without special permission. All
arms were sought for and taken away. The
local newspapers were entirely sup
pressed; and , ladies who dared to
sing un-German songs, or play nn-German
music, were at onoe arrested. Even
the children were not allowed to play at
fames which gave offense to the authorities,
t was discovered that the Alsatians spoke a
patois unintelligible to Germans, but they
were at once to be made to speak good Ger
man, and French was utterly forbidden in all
Bchools and official places as the language to
be employed. On the other hand, there was
an appearance of much kindness and consid
eration. Borne at least of the French officials
who were dispossessed were allowed to retire
on a pension of the full amount of their salary,
and the ordinary taxation of Alsace was not
increased beyond what it had been before the
war. Every effort was made to prove that
the inhabitants of the province had better ac
cept what was inevitable, and that the
Germans meant well by them. In
ahort, as M. Dumont justly says, both on the
aide of harshness and on the side of leniency,
Alsace and German Lorraine were treated
neither better nor worse than Hanover was
treated during and immediately after the war
of 18C6. German government, with its many
forms of unpleasantness, was brought to bear
on them, but still they were treated as
part of Germany. Nevertheless, Alsace was
neither , to be terrified nor per
suaded. It remained absolutely t rencn. in
spite of the severe decrees directed not only
aeainst those who joined the French armies,
but against their families, 17,000 Alsatians
managed to enroll themselves in the new
levies of France. The judges of the high
courts, the professors of the upper schools.
preferred destitution to compliance with the
wishes of their new masters. All civil causes
had to be adjourned, and German teachers
had to be imported. The women persisted
in dressing in mourning, and no German offi
cer was received in private Bociety. M. Du
mont even informs us that tne common peo
pie were suddenly seized with a passion for
secretly learning and speaking French. Every
subterfuge was resorted to in order to escape
the payment of taxts and lessen the receipts
of the German excnequer. At last came tne elec
tions in Februarv to the French Assembly,
and the Germans, under the direction of
Vrim-fl Bismarck, abstained from all inter
i t-renaa in them. The true Bentiments of
Albaoe were freely manifested, and they chose
without exception either local patriots de
voted to France, or national celebrities like
Gambetta or. Jules .Favre. The Germans,
although ' they' did not Interfere with the
voting, prohibited all canvassing or any pub
lication of , lists of candidates; so that it was
impossible to regard the result of the elec
tions as the work of an active Frenoh clique.
It was the expression of the intense desire of
tl : Alsatians to be French, and of their reso
lution to make their real wishes known to all
the world at, the very moment when it was
obvious they were about fically to cease to
be1 French. ' One of the deputies they
elected. . a popular provincial, who had
been Mayor of Strasburg at the time
of ' the siege, happened to die
at Bordeaux. His remains were
brought to Strasburg, and his
funeral afforded the Alsatians a last oppor
tunity of showing their persistent sympathy
with a man who had never faltered in his
attachment to France. He is recorded to
have declared shortly before his death that
although he Baw how great would be the
material advantages to Alsace in becoming
German, and although he recognized the con
summate skill of the Germans in administra
tion, yet there was to his mind something in
France which was more to him than all that
Germany had to offer. It is perfectly legiti
mate that Frenchmen should glory in such
utterances. France, impoverished, humiliated,
torn by civil war, has still an nndefinable
charm, and can still appeal to the hearts and
imagination of men. In order to estimate
rightly the place f France in Europe, it is as
necessary to boar this in mind as to dwell on
the gigantic blunders it has recently
committed, and on the national short
comings indicated by the events of
the war, and by the sad story of the reign
and the suppression of the Commune. No
one knows better than Prince Bismarck how
great are the difficulties which the love of
Alsace for France throws in the way of Ger
man statesmen; and no one can be more
anxious that what he sees all Germans should
Bee also. He has recently strained his great
personal influence and authority to the
utmost, in order to induce the German Par
liament to abstain from subjecting the new
provinces too quickly and vigorously to a
German Government of the usual type. He
bas obtained liberty to manage them exactly
as he pleases until the beginning of 1873. He
has begun by accepting the payment of a
portion of the first instalment of the Frenoh
indemnity in notes of the Bank of Franoe, in
order that he may have immediate funds for
the wants of Elsass and Lorraine, where these
notes are familiar to the people. On
the other hand, 'an edict has been
issued enforcing" universal compulsory
education, after the German pattern, on
every child above the age of six years. The
two instruments of government to which he
trusts are the bestowal of material advan
tages on this generation and the training of
the next generation. Above all, he looks to
the working of the cenviotios that the fate of
Elsass is fixed, and that nothing that can be
said or done will make it anything but Ger
man. How far he may succeed no one can
say as yet, but it is evident that, unless a
success almost beyond hope attends his
efforts, Elsass and Lothringen will long be
as much estranged from the German Father
land as the Poles of Posen are from Prussia,
or the Czechs of Bohemia from Austria.

They have 80 years to ran, bear 8even and Three,
tenths per cent, gold interest (more than 8 per cent,
currency), and are secured by first and only mort
gage on the ENTIRE ROAD AND ITS EQUIP
HANTS, and also, as fast as the Road Is completed,
on 23,x o acres or land to every mile of track, or 600
acres for each Siooo Bond. They are exempt from
U. S. tax ; principal and Interest are payable in gold.
Denominations: Coupons, 1100 to Iiooo; Registered,
100 to $10,000. - ..
Northern Pacific ISO's are at all times receivable,
at TEN PER CENT. ABOVE PAR, In exchange for
the Company's lands, at their lowest cash price.
The proceeds of all soles of lands are required to
be devoted to the repurchase and cancellation of the
First Mortgage Bonds of the Company. The Land
Grant of the Road exceeds Fifty Million Acres in the
most fertile portion of the Northwest, a ad the de
mand for the Company's lands for settlement already
exceeds the ability of the Government to complete
the surveys. This Immense Sinking Fund will un
doubtedly cancel the principal of the Company's
bonded debt before it fails due.
Holders of U. S. Five-twenties, who wish to con
vert them into a first-class railroad security, can do
so at a present profit of about 12 per cent., while in
creasing their Interest income nearly one-fourth, by
exchanging them for Northern Pacini 1-308,

less than Its debt in 1S3T, when an Issue of bonds to
