BRITISH INTERafEDDLINe.

ADASAA AcH AN< HnlM EDDLxNG e
It seems that the British government is
getting its finger into too many pies of late,
and there is danger that the usual conse-
quences of such conduct may result. It has
had great deal to say about the difficulties
between Russia and Turkey, and has not
got fully out of the scrape yet; it has sue
cessfully carried on the Afghan war, is inn
broiled in South Africa, is endeayorinp to
dictate to Turkey as to the control Of Egyp-
tian affairs, and now she has undertaken the
job of making Spain carry out her treaty OBJ
legations as to the abolition OF slavery in
Cuba. In the house of lords on Monday even
ing Lord Selbourne recalled the fact that
Spain agreed by treaty to abolish slavery IN her
dominions by the end Of 1920, but within
twenty years from that time upwards Of
100000 slaves were imported to Cuba in
Spanish ships, and the treatment those slaves
received was violation of the treaty. He
said that for the sake Of Spain and the honor
OF England steps should be
taken to insist that Spain carry out her
treaty engagements. Lord Salisbury replied
that the government would produce the
papers called for, but he deprecated interfer-
ence in the internal arrangements of Spain.
He said the government could not address
such vigorous dispatches to Spain as Lord
Selbourne wished, but would lose no oppor-
tunityof reminding Spain of her engagements.
There Il also possibility that England
may yet take hand in the impending COM
plcations in France on behalf Of the i'm
pesial cause, and With ~ there irons in th.

A Go-As-You-Please Race.


Officer Cook entered "a go-as-you-please"
foot race yesterday, about 4 O clock. It was 20
as you please for fellow. steamboat rousta-
bout, who had gone into Rogers hotel, on Rob
ert street, and made himself general nui-
sance. He went in, offered to fight the house
for one square meal, and with cannibal desire
to provide meat for the meal, pulled out
murderous knife. and threatened to butcher
Mr.. J. Rogers, the proprietor. He and all the
hand-maidens cried out "per-lice." At this
the roustabout turned about and started off on
a-go-as-you-please-p pace down Robert street,
choosing, however, to go at very high rate Of
speed. Some ten or dozen, augmented soon
to o multitude, took up the hue and cry.
The chase was taken down Fourth street and
at Jackson street officer Cook Joined in the
fun. At Rosabel street, everybody got out of
wind and abandoned the chase, except officer
Cook. and the pursued. They gasped, got in
supply of second wind and kept up the flight
and pursuit to the railroad yards well down on
the levee. Once here, the stranger tried
to lose the officer in the labyrinth of cars. But
he didn't, for inst as he lodged around q
corner, he fell into Officer Cooks arms, who
embraced him with delight, because the run was
over. After waiting for their first wind to
overtake them, which had been left mp in the
region of jackson street, the officer conveyed
his prisoner to the lookup.

The arrears of pensions law was god-send
to widow Maria Lewis, of Phoenix, New York.
All her i've sons Joined the Union army and all
were killed, leaving her to be supported by
charity. She has now received back pensions
due her dead boys to the amount of 81, 800, and
also ia guaranteed an annuity of $96.-Phila-

Yet this is the law that the Press denounced
as a swindle perpetrated by Democratic
Congress. We assert that if it has resulted
in relieving even few cases of such distress,
it was fnlly warranted, even though mil
lions were expended. The Democratic party
will not suffer through having the load of the
arrears of pensions law to carry.

hre she Is likely to have her hands decidedly
full.
Nations as we'll as individuals can under
take too much. We never knew . person
who could manage his own affairs and those
of others as well, and we venture to say
that England granting that her statesmen
possess exceptional ability will find 1t inn
possible to run her own government and
those of Russia, Turkey, Spain and France,
besides interfering with those of less note.
She will probably run against snag that
may produce the largest kind of shipwreck,
and all because of her prediction
for interfering in the affairs Of others.
It is not at all likely that her neigh
bors will quietly submit to being snubbed
and browbeaten by the statesmen of the
little island, and when they conclude that
this thing has gone far enough they win in
continently sit down upon her with force
that will be perfectly astounding both to
England and the rest of the world.
Great Britain would retain the respect of
the world generally much longer if she would
stop meddling in the affairs of other nations
and att--nd moro strictly to her own. There
is plenty to engage the attention of parlia-
ment at home. Her industry is paralyzed,
her trade Frustrated, her people starving by
thousands. The condition of the laborers
in her workshops, her mines and on her
farms is little if any better than the condition
of the slaves in Cuba. To give employment
to the suffering poor and to elevate the con-
dition of the laborers all over the kingdom
is work that calls for the wisest statesman
ship, and it should not be any longer neg
lected. Craftsmanship as we'll as charity
should begin it's mission at home.

The frequency with which confidence
games have been played in this city of late
suggests the idea that the police authorities
are not sufficiently familiar with either the
confidence men or the manner in which they
do their work. A chief of police in city
like this ought to keep his men posted as to
the presence of the gentry and their mode of
operations, and competent chief ought to
be in possession of the information neces-
sary in order to convey the facts to his sub
ordinates.
