Prussia 70 Enter Luxembourg.

A special cable telegram, which reached us
last night from London, states that the Prus-
sian army has been ordered to enter and oc-
cupy the territory of Luxembourg. The move
ment is to be undertaken, it is said, as "a mill
tary necessity" to prevent the supply of ma
terial and support to portion Of the French
troops from er through the duchy. We are
told that the order to occupy was re-
ceived direct from Berlin. A military
necessity" is very convenient excuse for
great military nations. England made the
fact of the robbery of hatchet and goat the
excuse for a military necessity" which
brought on the Kafiir war, and ended in the
conquest Of the Cape Colony, the securing of

These facts and figures show the desperate
condition of our foreign carrying trade, and
the necessity for prompt and efficient RENE
dies. We therefore beg the representatives Of
confi,ting interests not to stand In the way Of
a measure that will promise eifectual relief
Let not the United States government be the
only enlightened government that refuses to let
its citizens buy its ships wherever they can be
bought the cheapest aud best. AS the compe-
tition for the commerce Of the world is with
all other nations, Vet our citizens enter into it
on at least equal terms. Let us no longer by
our stupid legislation weigh them down and
impede them in the race. Let US remove oil
these antquated restrictions on our commerce.
At the same time give the shipbuilders an
equally fair chance by letting them have their
materials free Of duty. And II still more is
necessary, let Congress grant liberal subsidies
to steamship lines. In this way American
commerce may be revived and our former
prestige as great maritime nation restored.
