1T Is the proudest among the boasts
OF E~nglishmen, says the Inter Ocean,
that the sun never sets on the British
empire, and the gorgeous magniHcence
OF oriental metaphor could not have
adorned this boast with a more glitter
ing and impressive array of imagery
than the memorable words Of Daniel
Webster have done: IA power which
has dotted owe the surface of the whole
globe with her possessions and military
posts, whose morning drum-beat, fol-
lowing the sun, and keeping company
with the hours, circles the earth with
one continuous and unbroken strain Of
the martial airs of England" On the
It'll of May, 1884, when these brilliant
phrases were uttered In the senate at
Washington, they could not be said Of
any other country; but, since u acqui-
sition Of Alaska, the same grandeur Of
idea is applicable to the United States.
San Francisco, instead Of being the
western limit Of the union, is only
about midway between the farthest
Aleutian Isle and Eastport, Maine.
Our territory thus extends through 1877

THE amusing contest between the
Dutch and Atcheenese is thus happily
hit off by the Philadelphia Times !:
Probably the only manifestation Of
persistent yigor to be found in modern
history that is ct to rank with the bold
attempt on the part Of the Dutch to
take Holland, Is the bold attempt on
the part Of the Dutch to take Atcheen.
They have been pegging away at the
Atcheenese now for years; and it is a
notable fact that the morethe Atcheen-
ese are pegged away at, the more they
seem to thrive. They really appear to
enjoy I'll Every now and then we have
a dispatch that drifts northwestward
from the Spice Misunderstanding under
the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean
and the Red Sea and smelling slightly
Of Pharaoh's chariot wheels and Gin
namon-of the sort that we print this
morning; a dispatch telling how a lot
Of Atcheenese stronghold have been
captured and how the enemy has ''suf-
fered a heavy loss" Now, some sorts
of enemies would be much the worse,
after a disastrous bout of the sort SO
frequently described; but it rather
amuses the cheerful Atcheenese. Per-
haps one reason why they do not mind
it is, that there are a great many of
them, and their ''strongEolds" are dis
tributed at the rate of about one for
each family. To be sure, there is Moth
ing in the gazetteers to warrant the be-
lief that either the people or the forts
are so plentiful; but the number of
both captured by the Dutch within the
past ten years shows very plainly that
the gazetteers must be at fault. 1t is
generally understood that the Dutch
have taken Holland, at last; and this
victory certainly augurs well for their
success-some time in the next century
in regard TO taking Atcheen. But 1t
Is uphill work fighting a people so hard
to kill and among whom 'strongholds'
are rather more plentiful than the huck-
LIBERTIES are just now over In New
Jersey"

GEN. MILES has only sever hundred
men to be massacred by the forces I'M
der Sitting Bull. It is c%onsoling to
know that II enough troops are not CIV
en- to Miles to wipe out the Uncapapas,
he has only hundred to be massa-
cred. But wouldn't 1t be cheaper, ac-
cording to such logic to give the dough-
ty general but one hundred men, or
only fifty? Since a massacre. in case of
meeting, is assured, and evidently pre-
pared for, 1t would be far more humane,
and certainly more economical, to draw
of six hundred men. Sitting Bull has
from 5000 to 1000 warriors, and he
will take all of them into a fight. Sew
en- hundred soldiers would just afford
such a force enough enthusiasm to have
a big dance over the massacre.

ELSEWHERE we print the tribute Of
Col. Ingersoll to the memory of DR..
Alexander Clark, editor Of the Metho-
dist Recorder, of Pittsburgh. Rev. Nj.
Clark was one Of the foremost theolo-
CLANS in the Methodist church, and was
famous for his great generosity toward
unbelievers, many Of whom he won
over by his power of argument and
love. Having an acquaintance with
the man we car endorse all that Col.

the deceased was held by atheists, we
will state that on Sunday last, the Lib
eral League, In atheistic organization
of Pittsburgh, passed touching resolu-
tions on the death of DR.. Clark, ex-
pressing sincere sorrow for his demise.
And yet DIR. Clark was everywhere
famed for his championship Of christi
anity and his attacks on latter-day athe.
