Why Agitation In California Thrive.
A Herald Hun Francisco special has the
following: Believing that Kearney has
been fostered and encouraged by the
publicity which the local press heretofore
bus been giving to this agitation, all the
leading merchants have united and nei
inanded thut the intemperate folly of the
press reports shall cease, vor they will
withdraw their business patronage from
thofce papers. But for the strife between
the newspapers here trying to capture
Kearney and the workingmen, he would
have been in obscurity long sgo. The
papers have. I understood, agreed to leave
him hereafter unreported, and in doing
so the present agitation will soon cease.
It lives greatly on publicity, its orators
delighting to read ol themselves and the
reports of what they say.

Urbat on the Urriuan Army lilll.
Buui.iN, March 2. In the debate which
followed the introduction of tho German
army bill in the roichstag, llerr Bichter
thanked thanked General C.imenk for
his dual statement. Ha said that it
showed that tho views entertained in
some quarters relative to tho relations of
Germany und Kustua were unfounded.
llerr Bidder, as a compensation for the
increased burdens imposed by tho bill,
firo posed a reduction of the period of mil
iary service. He said: All our neighbors
ure moro or less safe from an attack in
tho rear and need only to present a front
on ono side. They have stationed a con
siderable portion of their land forces close
to our borders. Gur regiments are dis
tributed equally over the whole country.
Since the conclusion of tho Turkish war
Uussia bus considerably extended her
military establishment, nnd France bus
doubled her iiruiv. Meanwhile wo have
kept our troops within t lie proportion of 1
per cent, ol our population, franco has
an army of 4:7,Xk) men, while Germany
nis only 4HI,'HMI soldiers. The peace
strength of Knssia is twice as great as
ours, j tie full term of service in Kussiu
is I I and in France 20 years. In Germany
it is only 12 years. Tho degree iu which
our army is behind others can only be
made up for by activity. lean only sin
cerely deplore that iron necessity im
pose a fresh sacrifice on the German
nation. Wo must preserve and uphold
peace abroad, even so far as our stren 'Ui
ullows. We shall perhaps not stand alone
in that position. In this there is no
threat, but a guarantee for peace. With
weak lorces this end cannot be attained
ner.il Von Moltke's speech wus re-
oived with prolonged cbeciing. Herr
vichensperger, of the centre party, op
pose I tho bill on the ground that tiie
people's burdens were already sufficiently
oppressive, ir, however, the measure was
absolutely necessary, he hoped a two
ear s term ol service would bo adopted,
llerr Von Beuuincsen, who said he
spoke in the name of an overwhelming
minority of national liberals, npnroved
tho bill In its essentials, but recommended
that it be referred to u committee. The
necesssty of preventing any vacillation in
the military organization, had in 1874
imposed on the reichslag tho duty of re
nouncing tho light of annually sanction
ing the military budget, and ut present,
when no solid majority existed, it was
more imperative than iu LS74 to proceed
in the course then adopted.
