According to the Prince, the nation which gives up territory instead of taking it, is a used up nation, and Germany, under Bismarck's guidance, is not likely to figure in the cate- gory of wom-ont Powers. The Alsace-Lor- rainers will therefore not wisely in making the best of a bad bargain, and content then! seh'es with autonomy. which Germany seems at present disposed to grant them. It will be no incansiderable gain to be rid of Prus- sian bureaucracy, and to enjoy the privilege of managing their own local ail'airs under a Constitution of their own. Whatever may be the success of the present negotiations, it is admitted that the present position of Alsace-Lorraine is deplorable. Polinlation is diminishing, trade is languishing. and the discontent in the provinces was never greater than at present. REPORT OF 8. 8. No. 5, MARIPOSA. Benux, Germany, March 1879. Prince Bismarck's career, like that of many less eminent men. has been a mixture of successes and failures, although it must be admitted that hitherto the successes have predominated. Prominent among his fail- ures may be ranked the annexation of Al- sace-Lorraine to the German Empire. If it be true that Prince Bismarck personally oh- jected to the annexation, his preseienoe has been justified by the event. It is perhaps scarcely an exaggeration to say that hitherto Alsace-Lorraine has been a them in the side of Germany. Eight year’s poueasion has failed to convert Alsace-Lorraine into a con- tented province of the German Empire, and negotiations have already commenced be- tween Prince Bismarck and the Alsace-Lor- raine Deputies for the purpose of convert- ing the country into an autonomous German State. It is proptwd that henceforth Al- sace-Lorraine shall be ruled from Strasbourg by the Prince Imperial. who will appoint responsible Ministers. Alsace'larraine it is said, will have its own constitution. and will be represented in the Federal Council in the same way as the' other allied States forming the German Empire. In this way it is hoped that Alsace-Iotraine will be reconciled to its late, and will regain its former prosper- ity. I doubt, howover, whether any mea- sure short of the re-annexation of the coun- try to France will content the Alsace-Lor- rainers. Lorraine is completely Frencb.and Alsace only slightly tinged with Germanism, and their neighbourhood to a powerinl nation proapering under Republican insti- tutions. is a very dill‘erent position from that of the unfortunate inhabitants of Schlesvng and Silesia. Of course as Bis- marck says, Alsace-Lorraine must continue to form an integral part of the German Em- pire, not because of any benefit Alsace-Lon rainc may eXperience from its connection with Germany, but because its position, as an nutwork of the German Empire. is nec- “ No. Iir," he laid ; “that in not all.
