Austria.
From the St. Louis Republican,

From the St. Louis hepuDhcan.I
In discussing the possible political and
military combinations which may arise
in Europe, should the present war last
beyond the limits of the inaugural cam
paign, it is curious to notice the compar-
atively small account taken of Austria.
Judging from the fippant opinions OF
ill-informed and dunrefiecting writers, one
would imagine the Austrian empire had
suddenly sunk from the rank of first
to that of a tnird-rate power, and that
whichever cause she decided to espouse
could not be materially strengthened
thereby. This misapprehension, for 1t
is very gross one, arises from the fact
that Austria has lost prestige by the un-
fortunate results of the French-ltalian
war of 1859, and the Prussian-Italian
war of 1866. But it must be remem-
bersd that in both these struggles she
was badly overweighted, and iB the last
one seriously hampered by attempting
to sustain her authority on the Italian
peninsula. Three hundred thousand
veteran soldiers were sent there, and the
absence of these enabled Prussia to win
the battle of Sadowa, and thus accom-
plish the temporary humiliation OF Fran
els Joseph. But Austria has learned
wisdom by this sharp experience,
and in point Of available resour-
ces and internal harmony, we are
inclined to believe her stronger than
for thirty years past, Her population
numbers nearly forty millions, and she
can, in emergency, send into the field at
least 600, 600 men. The fighting quality
of these men scarcely needs comment,
Rroperly handled, theFs age 10 hetter
troops on the continent, as the Napoleon
ic wars Of the latter part Of the last CEN
tury and the early portion Of the present
one abundantly prove. Bonaparte was
accustomed to say that the AIchduke
Charles was the most iormi1.".'S,..cc oppo-
Ient he ever met, and the terrible battle
OF AspeFn, WHICH drave the French into
The island of Lobau, and the Tremendous
conflict Of Wagram, where they we're
saved from worse fate by the non-arrl-
val af Arohduke John, confirm that esti-
mate. For twenty years Austria was
literally the head and front at the kaTQ-
mean coalition, and, but for the tenaoity
with which she elung to II under the
most y adverse circumstances, the son of
Maria Louisa would have worn a more
imposing title than King Of Rome and
Duke of Reichstadt. Her armies are
thoroughly disciplined and perfectly
equipped with the most improved NeaR-
ons. and, single-handed, she IS mateh
for either Prussia or France. In
1866 the provinces OF Austria
were dissatisfied with the central
government. and the despotio rule OF me
Emperor had done much TO afenate the
sympathies Of his subjects; but since

istration Of Won Bensi, she has pacihed

The Peixin Massacre Hoax.

Nothing has been received ia couarma-
ton Of the flaming telegram fron Tien-
tsin, dated June 25 and lately pub
lished by the London P@sti announc-
ing the massacre OF the French Secretary Of
Legation and other foreign residents by the
native Chinese at Pelin on the 2lst Of June.
On the contrary, aprivate despatch received AT
Paris directly from Pokin, and dated June %,
day later than the alleged massacre, contains
not tho slightest allusion to it. The special
telegram 10 the Pos, was probably hoax. 1t
is significant that such hoax should have
been perpetrated at moment when Chinese
immigration to the United States is attracting
worldwide attention. If it should transpire
that opponents to this extraordinary immigra-
ton have really been guilty of perpetrating this
hoax it will be clear that they are bent upon
making arrows of any kind of wood. AT all
events, the very ease and rapidity with which
telegraphic messages, whether true or false, can
now be transmitted all over the globe will
necessitate special caution and discrimination
on the part of Geographic correspondents no less
than on the part Of journalists whose duty it is
to draw differences from such messages. The
electric telegraph has its Inconvenience and
perils as well as its prodigious advantages.
Some effectua means must be devised to make
it a reliable agent for distributing facts in
preference TO mere sensational news or inten-
tionally false reports.

While the question of Asiatic labor is
attracting much attention, especially among
the working classes, in this country it may
be interesting to glance at it elsewhere. To do
this it is not necessary to go great distance
from our own doors. In the Antilles the i'm
portation OF Asia;ic laborers has been car
ried on on large scale for years. But it
has been done 80 quietly and the laborers have
conducted themselves 80 peaceably that the
people of this country never had their atten-
ton attracted to the subject. Since the year
l843 the number of Asiatic laborers which
have been imported to the islands of the West
Indies has swelled to very near million.
The figures given set it down at 963,576
These are scattered throughout seven of tho
included in the number. If the coolie laborers
on the island of Cuba were taken into ac-
count it would swell the figure. Last
year the number of coolies brought from
Calcutta to the islands of Trinidad, Deme-
rara, ST. Vincent and Mauritius footed
up 1912. The flow of emigrants, therefore.
from the East to the islands Of the West Indies
IS Slcduy uuO COubbuOucs 1hVh HuSNi uuous,
untiring energy, temperate living and acquisi-
tive propensiiies enable them to lay aside
something from the meagre wages they receive
for their labor, to sustain them in declining
years or enable them to return to their native
country. The fact that four hundred and
thirty-aight coolies recently were able to return
to Calcutta and carry with them sum amount
ing in the aggregate to over sixty thousand
dollars, is matter for consideration. In like
manner three hundred and seventy-two coolies
were sent home from Trinidad, their term Of
service having expired. These laborcrs did
not go home empty-handed. They took
with them lightweight thousand three hundred
and fifteen dollars, their savings for years.
No better inducement could be held out to the
Chinese and Japanese to. emigrate to this
country than the return of so many OF their
countrymen to their native homes with their
pockets we'll filed with the money they had
| honestly earned in foreign land From the
facts and figures we have given 1t will be seen
that coolie labor in the islands of the West
Indies, while it is Of great advantage to the
planters, affords the poor Asiatic an oppor-
tunity to improve his condition and gather
| together support for declining years.

which the young men at the West Point Mill

him at once resign, and not remain and make
blackgiard of himself.
