born of the deepest hate. They will fight
to the death, by fair means and foul, and
if successful will demand that they be re-
stored to their old allegiance to France.
The territory acquired by conquest is a
never ending source of strife to the gov
ernments of Europe. Russia has her Pc
land, England her Ireland, Austria her
Hungary. France her Algiers, and Turkey
her Egypt. The conquered people are never
content, and the conquerors are compelled
to keep large standing armies to prevent
outbreak. To remove these armies would
be an invitation to rebellion for the pur-
pose of throwing off the foreign yoke. A
people ruled against their will are invaria-
bly, discontented, turbulent, and rebelhous.
Much as nations covet the domain OF their
neighbors they find that in the long run
it does not pay-that it is far better to al
! low people to remain under their historic
government where they can follow their
kown inelinations.

The Republicans of Rhode Island have q
''pot' of 100000 to be used in the des-
perate effort to carry the state election.
Modern Republican campaigning is sig
nificant of the most dangerous systems
that can enter into politics. A report
comes from Ohio that the truly good Re-
publican managers there are in such a
state of despair that they have had Gov
Foster apply to the Republican national
committee for money, ($5OOOO is the sum
stated hoping, by its free use, to carry
the cities of Cincinnati and Cleveland at
the municipal election next Monday. This
humiliating act of weakness probably will
be, as it ought to be, the doom of the
party. This frantic procedure arises from
the realization that if the Republicans fail
to succeed this spring the state is lost to
them next fall and next year. 1t will be
an immensely good thing for the country
if it is.

The Times and Tribune newspapers of
Nov York City, journals that are very rare
ly in agreement, are engagedin discussing
and suggesting methods to harmon
ize the riyen and distracted Re-
publican party in that state. The
chaotic condition of the party, its
division and discord, plainly shows the dis
content and distrust of the people. A
party without policy is as useless as an
army without a captain and destitute of a
flag or plan of battle. The party organs,
of course, seek for harmony only to secure
control of the offices. But this is not
enough. Republican gentlemen may CRY
for peace, but there is no peace. The
spoilsmen have. wrought ruin that cannot
be repaired.

gloomily upon the tragic circumstance
which placed him in the executive Office,
the death in the White house of the Haw-

himself as if admonished that he might
not survive his administration, speaking
in the manner which men are apt to use

ALS-4CE-LORR4INE.

A cable dispatch from Metz in this
| mornings GLOBE conveys hint that the
new possessions of Germany, Alsace- Lor-
raine, acquired by conquest from France.
are not proving an unalloyed blessing.
1t is said that there is a prevalent feeling
of unrest throughout the provinces that
ever and anon makes itself manifest in
mutterings of discomfort that may at anv
moment break out in open rupture. The
people OF those provinces are essentially
French in feeling. Shortly after the close
of the war an edict was issued from Berlin
requiring all citizens of these provinces TO
subscribe to an oath of fealty to the Ger
man crown, failing in which Punishment
was decreed. The edict was not strictly
enforced, and where the oath was taken it
was with certain mental reservations. A
good many left the country for France
proper, and at one time it was feared that
the country would be depopulated. To
guard against this and also to create a
German sentiment, large number of Ger
mans were colonized in Alsace, but the
French residents made it too warm for
them, and most of them have drifted back
into their old homes north of the Rhine.
1t is evident that the Berlin government
is becoming alarmed at its lack of success
in creating German sentiment in Alsace
Lorraine, and at the persistence with which
the inhabitants cling to their French ira
ditions, customs and language. They are
determined that they will not become Ger
manized, and on every possible occasion
show their hatred of the German race and
their longing for the time to come when
they shall have an opportunity to be
avenged on their oppressors. When the
next conflict between France and Germany
comes-and come it must-the people of
Alsace-Lorraine will be found fighting side
