It is safe to say that had either the suppression of .the rebellion or the organization of the Union depended on the general agreement of the people of the North on some theory of the relations of the States in rebellion to the General Government, the rebellion would never have been suppressed and the Union would never have been restored. The armies marched and fought and conquered, just as if Davis was the Emperor of Morocco and derived his title from the Koran. There can hardly be a doubt that had Andrew Johnson, after Robert Lee's surrender, propounded the doctrines touching the rights of the vanquished to readmission. Another event refers to the incident in which gold was worth last week one per cent. for immediate delivery.

The article presents incidents related to the world politics. The judges of the U.S. Courts had adopted a rule of construction which, if followed, would change the whole nature of the Government. A brief examination of the Opinion of Judges is sufficient to show exactly what this means. The Constitution gives U.S. Congress the power to "borrow money on the credit of the United States," and "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers." Another incident focuses on the incident in which English press demands on the United States Government in the matter of preventing the hatching of dynamitic plots in their country.

Some persons in the U.S. may be inclined to take a despondent view of the passage of Seigniorage bill in the House of Representatives. Less than two years ago, on the 24th of March, 1892, Bland was defeated by a majority of two votes only, on a parliamentary motion which had for its aim the free coinage of silver.

The Boers have a restricted suffrage, it is confined to males resident in the Republic before 1878, or who took an active part in the war of 1881 with the British, and their children from the age of sixteen. These form a class apart, of "first-class burghers," and elect the President and the commandant of the militia.

The article presents incidents related to the world politics. Great Britain clearly demonstrated her weakness as military power under Benjamin Beaconsfleld.

The political polarization that followed the Vaud revolution did not just concern the ruling elites or the leaders of liberal and radical parties. A large part of the population also felt involved, especially when it came to religion. The petitions addressing this question were, in fact, the ones that were most successful, and it was in this climate that women played a role. On the basis of a female petition of 1845, and based on a 1847 list - mostly of women - of the first members of the Free Church of Payerne, it is possible to establish what (at least some of) their opinions were. Using a large genealogical database it has been possible to identify them and place them in a kinship network, and thus determine their role(s) in creating local political milieus. These women were also notable for their low rate of prenuptial conception, as well as by more frequent birth control practice as compared to their co-residents and kin. Political history has not much addressed the link between the rise of parties in the 19th century and the emergence of alternate value systems in the population. Studying the toleration of certain sexual behaviors provides fertile ground to observe this link and allows for reflection on power or political participation in the context of establishing new civil practices in the canton of Vaud. The novelty perhaps does not reside solely in the democratic progress made in granting suffrage or in asserting collective and individual liberties that were specific to republicanism in the 19th century. It also lies in creating milieus that shared - and in particular, communicated - identity-shaping religious, social, and moral, and thus also sexual, values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents incidents related to the world politics. The general expectation in Europe seems to be that peace will be made at once, but it seems hardly possible that the new Government can avoid trying the fortune of arms once more. The French people are evidently persuaded that the Republic can do better than the Empire. The Prussians are in full march on Paris, and one could expect siege within the next days. People are beginning now to feel more interested in the question how the Prussians will bear their good fortune than how the French will bear their reverses. Whether the war proves a blessing or a curse to Europe will depend on German moderation. Another incident refers to the Emperor's downfall in Paris.

The article presents incidents related to the world politics. There is now very little harmony between the head of the Cabinet and War Ministry and General Trochu, the Governor of Paris; that the latter is gradually losing the influence which his sudden appointment to his office, in. the first moments of terror after unexpected disasters, allowed him to exercise; and that, in the Committee of Defence, the comparatively large Bonapartist elements have now an almost undisputed ascendancy. Thiers, to whom Paris owes its fortifications, had almost to be compelled to accept a place in the committee. Another event refers to the incident in which Prussian reserves are now rapidly formed into new armies.

The article presents incidents related to the politics and economics of the world. The Spanish Provisional Government has made the terrible mistake of still further postponing the elections for the Constituent Cortes, although they have been partially held, the great towns having voted. The expression of the national will on the form of the future government being thus delayed, disorders naturally multiply. The distress amongst the working classes grows, the taxes fall off, riots and insurrections multiply. The Government committed, in the earlier days of the revolution, two other blunders of equal magnitude. Another incident refers to the incident of divorce business of the Chicago courts during the year 1868.

Louis Reybaud, in the Revue des Deux Mondes, but the conclusions he drew from them as to the mental condition of the workingmen were anything but flattering. The importance of foreseeing the result of a U.S. Presidential campaign is so great, not only to politicians, but also to business men. There is so much at stake in the approaching election-so many great financial interests depend upon its result.

The article presents incidents related to the world politics. U.S. General Benjamin Franklin Butler has been visited by a "The Herald News" reporter, for the purpose of getting his "views" on various subjects. The reporter extracted from him, amongst other things, an explanation of the extraordinary course of the Nation and. Boston Advertiser, in opposing his re-election to U.S. Congress.

The defeat of Cabot Lodge for U.S. Congress in Massachusetts is to be regretted because he would undoubtedly have made a good legislator, but it is to be rejoiced over because it is a distinct discouragement to his kind of politician.

Due to Lodge's influence, Theodore Roosevelt threw away the admirable position he had acquired in the politics of the State last spring. Another incident focuses on the constitutional amendment which prohibits against the creation of municipal debt beyond 10 percent, of the assessed valuation of the real estate of the municipality affected.

The agreement between the United States and the Republic of Mexico, by which the troops of the two parties are reciprocally authorized to cross the boundary line of the two countries in close pursuit of hostile Indians whenever it may be necessary, is undoubtedly calculated to satisfy a long-felt want on that frontier.
