Watching and waiting. That is
still the condition of the whole
country, in view of the tardy &C
ton of the Returning Boards, and
their evident designs TO make a
fraudulent count in the end. Over
whelming proof that Tilden has
carried Louisiana and Florida, with
all that, systematic efforts are be-
ing made to count him out. The
latest form of revolutionary swim
ding takes shape in Florida, where
the governor now claims the right
to say who is elected, and will as
sumo to give the state to Hayes.
The Louisiana detective Electoral
votes will give that state to Tilden,
the Returning Board to the contra
ry Notwithstanding.

The Intimidation" dodge of the

initiating to the government and to
the republican party. The govern

Notwithstanding the army, and the

they were all so ''intimidated'' by

The Chicago Tribune, a rabid re

senses on the intimidation" ques
tion. 1t ridieules the idea of Gin
timidation" in these five parishes
in Louisiana so much talked about.
You see the negroes number 10000
and the whites only 5000, and it
does seem a little ridiculous that
5000 whites could intimidate r.
600 blacks, when there were several
regiments of .. S. troops, and no
less than l 900 deputy U. S. Mar
shals, quartered in their midst for
weeks before and on the day OF
election, not only affording to them
protection, but ''intimidating' the

News from the Old Country gives
indications of a general Eastern
war before many weeks. The pros
pect Of a conference is mentioned
as gradually fading away. Russia
is active in her preparations for
war, and almost a panic exists in
the southern part of the empire.
England is also making ready for
the conflict that Is believed to be so
close. Lord Beaconsffeld was hast
! ily summoned to London on the
18th, and, following this, all soldiers
in Ireland on furlough were ordered
to join their regiments, the fur
loughs being temporarily suspend
ed. These things, taken together,
point strongly to the probability OF
war, and news of a more exciting
nature may be expected at any
moment.
AS war in Europe seems inevita,
BILE, the sooner Mr.. Tilden is count
ed IN, as he ought to be, the better
for our own country. AS long as
the present political uncertainty
continues the whole Eastern Cont
nent might De in a blaze, and il
would be. relatively, of NJ benefit
to the United States. This is rath
er a mercenary view to take of the
situation, but the dollars and cents
argument seldom fails to convince
when 1t is properly put.

Political uncertainty is wrecking
the business interests of the country.
Men are afraid to buy and every
thing is for sale. People are hoard
ing under the impression that a
panic is iminent. Even the pros
pect of another four years of radical
misrule and thievery has this effect,
and the Lord only knows what the
country will come to if that party
does actually count itself in and re
news its hold upon the throats OF
the people. May Heaven avert it,
is the cry of millions from one end
Of the land to the other. The poor,
deluded negroes seem not to know
that they have upheld the hand that
throttles us and them. But foI
negro ignorance, worked upon by
INSCRIPTIONS, villianous and diabol
ically mean white men, the country
would long since have been deliver
ed from the clutches of the party Of
ruin and hate. We will hope fol-
the best and not give up the ship
until Congress Sits the matter.

For the Court to Decide.

Somewhere about score of years ago, while Neal Dow's law was in full force, an incident transpired in the court held in Paris, Me-, worth recording. Judge X. was on the bench. He was a genial, jolly soul in society, but inclined to be a little testy sometimes in judicial har- ness. The case on trial was the State vs. hotelkeeper, and the complaint was sale of liquor. One of the principal witnesses was ,singulaily optuse. He did not like to lie, nor did he seem anx- ious to tell the whole truth. He con- fessed to having made purchase, but he could not tell what he purchased nor could he remember what he had asked for. At length the county attorney asked him:
 "Did you drink any of its"
 "Not thar"
 "Well, did you drink it anywhere ?"
 CT must a done it.
 "How did it taste9"
 "I couldn't say"
 "Yes, you can say. Certainly you can tell me how it tasted"
 At this point the court interposed. The question was deemed trihing and out of place.
 "Why do you press it, the judge de- manded.
 "Wen, your honor," replied the at torney, " it is very evident that the wit ness bought liquor of the defendant, and we want to know what description of liquor it was. As the witness refuses to tell me what it was, thought if he would only tell how it tasted the court might be able to determine for itself"
 The audible smile that followed, in- side and outside the bar, told that the hitwas understood and appreciated.

A War Lasting One Hundred and
 Thirteen Years.

Isabella, was the daughter--of..a French king in the fourteenth century, and the wife of an English one, Edward H., who was deposed by his Parliament, and murdered in 8 dungeon in Berkley castle. This Isabella was perhaps the cause of more misery to both England and France than any woman who ever lived. She became the enemy of her spouse, returned to France and fomented re- bellion against him, kept the young prince (her son, who afterward became Edward III. away from his father, in vaded England with an army, and as- sisted ill defeating and deposing her husband the king. .t.
 B lward III. claimed the throne of Franco as the grandson of the father of Isabella, which claim was opposed by another scion of royalty. Then com menced sanguinary war, which lasted one hundred and thirteen years, in which the Black Prince, son of Edward TIL, the Duke of Bedford, King John of France, Joan ot Arc and many other historic personages figured cons spicuously. The spirit in which it was prosecuted may be judged by that in which it was commenced. The knights and gentlemen of England as- sembled under the presidency of the crown, and bound themselves "to ravage and massacre without pity, to spare neither mill nor altar, nor pregnant women, nor relative nor friend" From 1887 to 145O, with short intermissions, was the deadly work prosecuted, sons and grandsons and great grandsons es- pousing and beSueathing the quarrels of their progenitors. Nobles, ecclesias- tics and common people shared alike the cruel destruction. At times France, which was the theater of the war, be- came so impoverished that many of her citizens starved to death, and the vari- ous provinces were so aliepated that they almost ceased to be Q nntion.@ And for-what was this war of over @ century,s duration waged9 Not for the good of the people, but for the ambition of would-be sovereigns.
 Kings and dukes in those days claimed not only certain countries, but also the people who inhabited them. They aIro- gated the right to force them from their homes and pit them against each other, as at Crecy and Agincourt, until the ground was soaked with blood and the cOrpseS were plAeu nl8n ou eacu obner. Their motto was "rule or ruin, and while they did not always succeed in ruling, they never failed in ruining.
 Since 1450 the race has made some progress in the right direction. The thirty years war of the German r, for nation, and the wars of Napoleon from 1793 to 1915 were certainly long enough. But since then we recall no great war between so-called Christian nations which las continued longer than three or four years.

A Hero in Want.

Albany de Fonblanque, the British consul at New Orleans, writes as follows to the RepubicG1a, of that city: On the seventh of October, 1859, the Brit ish steamship Connaught, 4,000 tons, sprang leak which gained upon her so rapidly that by the next morning the water had extinguished her engine fires, leaving her 8 coffin for 601 human be- ings, sinking slowly but surely in a heavy sea. In this condition, and while 1S0 miles from Boston harbor, fire (which had been smoldering for some days, unknown) burst out, and doubled the chances for death. She was an iron ship, and soon her sides became so hot that they hissed and steamed as she rolled, deeper and deeper. There was race between fire and water for all those lives, and do the best they could the boats would not be able to save third of them from one death or the other. The American brig Minnie Schaefer, 198 tons, Captain John Will son, saw the blazing, sinking steamer, and bore down to her assistance. So slow and difficult was the labor of get ting the passengers into and out of the boats that only two hundred could be transferred to the brig before sundown. Then John Wilson said "It is hor. rible thing to see them going down and so many people yet on board the wreck, settling down and burning up. I will do all in my power to save them" He nobly kept his word. As good sailor as he was a man, he came down to the leeward of the wreck, made fast to her, and before midnight the last man on her deck-the captain-had passed into the brig safely. Try to picture 1t. A great ocean steamer, with water pour ing in from without to fill her up and fire roaring within to burn her down over four hundred lives in the balance. Any lurch she made might have been her last, and if she had rolled over and sunk-what hope for the little brig She did not sink just then. John Will son left her, sheet of flame, and landed his priceless cargo safe at "generous Boston," In recognition of his cour- age, humanity and good searnanship the British government gave him a gold watch and chain. The company to which the Connaught belonged pre- sented him with $1, ,500; Boston added silver service and medals; testimoni- als and subscriptions in plenty came in. Nor were his crew forgotten in the gen. oral enthusiasm. Then came the war. Some sums granted to him were with drawn property in which he had in- vested his money was destroyed. He is sixty-four years of age, is disabled by failing eyesight from following his pro fession 1; his wife is a confirmed invalid all his testimonial gifts have been sold or left in pledge for bread, and this once self-reliant and always brave and true man is utterly destitute. Shall we not paraphrase his own words and says "This is horrible affair, to see the sun going down upon the wreck with so much good yet on board. We will do all in our power to help him." Before make an appeal abroad for this Aicted hero, it is only fair that his countrymen should besgiven the opportunity may almost say the privilege-of assisting him,

vegetables and pies, all well cooked and very pslatable. Farm hands, like fisher men, nowadays are epicures. This van is so constructed that it's sides form broad tables. The cooks who serve stand in the body of the wagon, and the diners range themselves around the out side. All are sheltered by screen of wood CT canvas overhead.
 By nightfall all the seventy acres are bare; that is, not head of wheat is left. A trampled stubble higher than ones knee remains to tell the tale, but all the beauty and worth have departed, and the place is desolate. Tomorrow the same scene will be enacted in another section of the same size, and similar hustle and uproar will ensue, and 8 similar pile of plethoric brown bags piled very high will reward the labor of the day.
 It must be remembered that there are six other corps. exactly like the one de- scribed, at work simultaneously upon the Glenn ranch. Seven throngs of men and two hundred and fifty machines will labor necessarily for over two months to deplete these vast fields of their splen- did yield.
