BY FRANK 7. MORGAN
- love You. Hctle sweetheart,
He in tender accents said.
and I love You, 100, she answered.
A. She bent her pretty head.
And the stars looked down from heaven
on the charming teie-G-tcte,
:, the pair Of youthful lovers
Gently swung upon the gate.
yves. I love you," soft she murmured,
Looking up ~ him again.
..Holy mackereI! Gee Moses"
Answered ne in Jireful pain.
For. alas. we never knew the
Ingenuity OF fate,
And love hut betrayS us often
To mashed thumb in the gate.

The Tunisian War.

The speck of war in northern Africa is of
no present Importance in its present pro-
portions except as period ical indication of
the interest felt in the ultimate parcelling
out of the estate of the Turkish ''sick man."
Ever since the seizure of Algeria by France,
that patton has assumed that the neighbor-
ing principality of Tunis must become
French property on the breaking up of the
Turkish power in Europe, and with that re-
suit in view she has encouraged French col
onization in Tunis, promoted the construc-
ton of railroads by French capital and
sought in many ways to control Tunisian
trade. Certain native tribes in the south
west, of which the Kroumirs appear to be
the chief, which the Bey has little power
over, have made frequent incursions info
Algeria and given the French occasion for
demonstrations against the Bey's posses
sions; and late advices are that hostilities
have commenced on the frontier.
Italy, too, appears as claimant for Tu-
mis-, on the ground that it is the site of an
cient Carthage, and modern Rome should
possess what ancient Rome purchased at so
great cost. The Italian prime minister,
Carroll, it is charged, has not been energet-
ic enough in asserting Italy's rights against
French designs and has been forced to re-
sign, and the King is occupied with efforts
to form new ministry. England, also, it
appears, has some interest in the matter,
and her rights have been talked about in
Parliament, but whether they are positive
enough or large enough to induce Eer to
join issue with Italy against France, is
question; certainly there is no likelihood of
her interference at present. Italy, though
possessing well-appointed army and navy,
is not in condition to try the fortune of war,
and seems inclined to patch up graceful
peace with France on an "alike honorable
and worthy-of the-two- nations basis. The
powerless Porte has addressed circular to
the Powers, expressing the hope that the
measures to be taken by France in Africa
will be limited to the defence of her own
frontier, and declaring that the Bey will re-
establish order and prevent the renewal of
incursions of tribes. The Bey, unsupported
by his natural ally, has asked the notice and
interposition of Russia, and is reported as
about to form an alliance with the French to
punish and repress the insurgent tribes. 1t
is pretty evident that France has got some
ways ahead of her competitor Italy in the
matter of seizing Tunis, and if any forcible
protest is to be made by any interested ma
ton it must be made very soon.

SPEAKING of Judge Goddard's statistics
and the alleged increase of crime in Maine.
the Bridgton News says the PRESS sis GER
tainly to be commended for its fairness in
laying before its readers all attainable
facts bearing upon either side of this contro-
versy. In its Wednesdays issue it repub-
fishes Judge Goddard's letter to the Lewis
ton Journal and also Gov. Dingley's rejoind-
er. If the newspaper press generally would
adopt this course, publications of the char
acter of Judge Goddard's original manifes-
to would not be so mischievous in their eff
fects abroad, as now.o
