Mr. Eugene Hale, in his Mexican pro-
nunciamento to the people of the United
States, on the electoral investigation, talks
of ''reckless agitation, and of "Mexican-
izing" the Government of the United States
Where was this little whipper snapper
when the great Presidential fraud was
consummated He uttered no warnings,
then, against "Mexicanizing" the Govern
ment. When that reckless agitation"
eliminated in perpetrating fraud upon
the whole people, the voice of this partizan
claquer was still.

But if thou hast been faithful,
And if we are also faithful,
In the morning of the resurrection
We shall behold thee in thy beauty again.

WORKING OF A MARYLAND CHROME
MINE.-Articles of incorporation of the
Columbia chrome company have been filed
in Washington. The object is to work
the three mines of chrome in Montgomery
county, Md, and the industry promises to
make an enterprise of some importance to
Maryland and Georgetown, where the
works are to be built. Chrome mines are
exceedingly rare, and the articles of COM
merce obtained from the ore are very val
liable in manufactures and the arts. In
Europe it is found only in Southern Rus
STA or Northern Turkey, the mines there
being all leased by White Brothers, of
Glasgow; but owing to the recent war those
resources have been cut off very material
ly. In this country the ore is found only
in California and Maryland, with very
faint symptomsin other localities. These,
ores will be brought to Georgetown, D. c.,
for manufacture into bichromate of potash
chrome yellow and their other products.
The capital stock is fixed at 100000.
Hon. Christopher c. Cox is president and
Chas. Mittendorff treasurer.

READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY.-The
practical result of the recent communistic
utterances and gatherings in the leading
cities has been the general awakening of
the authorities to the necessity for being
always prepared. In Philadelphia, for
instance, the police force now drill weekly,
and the field officers of the second brigade
National Guard, have received orders to
have their men we'll in hand, SO that in
case of sudden call they may be assem-
bled promptly The men are to be kept
fully equipped, and in case of call each
man is required to supply himself with
one days cooked rations. Rosterbooks
containing the names of the men in the
various commands, their residences and
places of business, are to be kept in public
places at the armories, so there may be no
delay in getting the men together in case
of trouble.

A Warlike Period.

The last quarter of century was
varlike time, there being not more
bloody period of twenty-five successive
wears mentioned in history than the TWEEN
ty-fve years that expire with the present
Nav. The Crimean war began in the au-
tumn of 1853 and lasted till the spring OF
1856. Then came short and sharp war
between England and Persia, and IN 1891
and So the Sepoy war, one Of the hercest
conflicts ever waged in the East. The
Italian war, in which Sardinia and France
we're parties against Austria, occurred IN
1859, and the Garibaldian wars, out OF
which proceeded the kingdom of Italy, in
1860. Our own destructive civil war fol-
lowed: then the war of Brazil with Para
quay; then, in 1866, the Austro- Prusslan
war. in which Italy and the Germanlc
Confederation also t3ok part, and in which
some fifteen hundred thousand men were
engaged. In 1901 occurred the great
war between France and Germany. The
Russo-Trrkish war began in the spring OF
1877. 1t is unnecessary to mention vari-
GUS minor conflicts which have occurred
in other countries Those referred to have
been on an enormous scale. While much
has been done for science and the arts in
the last twenty years, the invention
that has been employed for the development
of war is equally wonderful. The most
destructive instruments of war have been
produced in that time that were ever
known. Even steam, railways, electricity
and other agencits of peace have been used
to give greater effectiveness to war.

The British vice consul at Philadelphia
stated in an interview Wednesday that
the English government was fully advised
of all purchases made of vessels by agents
of Russia in this country. He said there
was no authority to prevent the purchase
of vessels in this country by either Russia
or England under the treaties, unless the
purpose was to arm them here, and then
there would be iuterposition expected OF
the American government. There was
no proof that the vessels already purchas-
ed were to be used for cruising purposes,
and it might be added, if there were, it is
not the business of the British vice-consul
or of any other official, for war does not
yet exist between England and Russia.
The citizens of the United States have a
right to sell vessels and arm them, too,
until war is formally declared, and they
will do it, and will not ask permission of
England or any other power.
