France, Italy and Tunis.

Cable dispatches, which are frequently
untrustworthy and always meagre, suggest
that trouble is brewing between France and
Italy. The cause of the trouble is Tunis.
The Italians apprehend the establishment of
a French protectorate over that much
misgoverned State, and protest against it as
menace to their interests in the Medit-
erranean.
1t is not probable that the French Repub-
lie desires to pick a quarrel with the King
dom of Italy. That Power is of its own be-
getting. The only beneicent thing France
has done since the revolution of 1889 and the
only grand thing it has done since the First
Empire has been the securing of the free
dom of the Italian peninsula. That is
work OF which it has reason to be proud,
and it is altogether unlikely that France de-
slres to discredit itself or diminish the graft
tude which the Italians owe it, by going to
war with nation over which victory can
bring no honor, but can only suggest re-
proach. Neither honor nor wealth can be
gained in conflict with nation so much
weaker.
Since the conquest of Algeria France has
had great interests to sustain on the African
shore of the Mediterranean. Her colonists
are now disquieted by inroads of robber
bands from the neighboring State of Tunis
-inroads which the Bey lacks the power or
has not the inclination to prevent. So
France, weary of waiting for the action of
government whose authority is only nomi-
nal, undertakes to protect her own people
and punish the marauders. The result of
the trouble may be the conquest of Tunis.
But that would not be a bad occurrence,
Tunis would be far better governed, and its
people, reused by French enterprise and in
fuenced by French thrift, would prosper
greatly. Italy would have no reasonable
cause for complaint. Its commercial and
other industrial interests would not be ieo-
parded. The only claim it ever had upon
Africa-the conquest of Carthage by Rome
has been outlawed some centuries. It
will not be likely to go to war for so musty
reminiscence as that. People need not
lie awake nights dreading another French
invasion of Italy.

WISE suggestion by the Boston Post:

side is right in this controversy,

JUDGE GODDARD TO LEWISTON JOURNAL

JUDGE GODDARD To LEWISTON JOURNAL.
PORTLAND, April 2, 1881.
10 the Editors ofthe Le,oiston Journal:
Last Sunday 1 read in the Christian Mirror
of March 16, an editorial from your paper
which the Mirror calls ga complete refutation
of the allegations recently made that crime
has oflate greatly increased in this State, and
of the statistics which have been arrayed for
the purpose of proving it." Since had the
honor to enter upon the service of the State as
its attorney for the new county of Androscoggin,
twenty-seven years ago, my attention has been
drawn to the subject of high crime and it's rap
i'd multiplication in Maine, and from time to
time have endeavored to arouse attention to
the appalling fact, hitherto, 1 must con-
fess, with little success
While preachers, moralists, philanthropists.
reformers and other public teachers have until
within few weeks exhibited surprising in
difference to this evidence of moral decline
and the disintegration of society, my own du-
ties, both as public prosecutor and after
wards as judge of the highest criminal court
IN the chief county of the State, have led me
TO give serious thought to this portentous cloud
which for whole generation has been dark
ening our moral armament, just as your sense
OF duty has inclined you to warn your fellow
citizens against the evils of intemperance, a
subject on W hich you are acknowledged au-
thority, perhaps the highest in the State. Well
aware OF the extent of your knowledge ON that
point, should hardly venture to speak of any
Maine law statistics published over your in
ltials, as incorrectly stated in several particu-
lars, and so marshalled as to ignore facts
partly because should be very reluctant to
question your fairness, and partly because 1
should hardly have the vanity to presume that
L knew more about such a matter than YOUR
self, and therefore should fear that 1 might in
the end find myself in the wrong. Now, /
have carefully reviewed my statistics, and be-
ing unable to detect any error in them, re-
they are:

by the following rejoinder to one of his
demands for next book.

"No time like the present" said the
maiden with an encouraging smile.

struggling with his embarrassment.

got yourself into pretty fix" and she
laughed AT the discomtitted student
maliciously.

springing up with sudden earnestness,
