French TOnQuiu Affairs

PARIS, Nov. ct is reported, the
first secretary of the Chinese lega-
ton states, that war between China
and France is now certain. The cabi-
net council discussed General Bouet's
account of the French position on
Red river measures which it is ad-
visable to adopt for strengthening
their position, and the question of
the amount of funds which may be
necessary to bring the campaign to a
successful issue. Nothing definitely
was decided. The chamber of depu-
ties will probably be asked to vote a
new credit. In bis account General
Bouet states at least that a thou
sand men of all arms, infantry
cavalry and artillery will be required
especially cavalry, because the move
ments Of the Black Flags are very
rapid. Everything went to prove to
General Rouet that the leaders of the
Black Flags are Germans. The
Black Flags are we'll supplied with
artillery. Just bef,re leaving Gen
eraI Bouet heard of the arrival of a
strong Chinese force with Krupp
guns. If the Chinese intervene he
says if will be necessary to send
large reinforcements. General Bouet
concludes by saying it is impossible
to form an approximate idea of the
number of the Black Flags.
Gen Bonet expresses strong hopes
of being sent back to Tonquin to fin
ish the work of the expedition. He
believes Sontag al d Hanghon can be
easily captured. Bacninh, however,
which is strongly held, cannot be so
easily taken.
The Chinese legation officially de-
MES the truth of NJ. Tricon's tele-
gram. Opposition newspapers twit
Premier Ferry with distorting facts
in order to obtain momentary tri~
umphs and a temporary majority.
During the supplementary meet
ing Of the international labor con-
ference this evening, a brisk scuffie
occurred between a number of dele
gates and some thirty anarchists,
principally Italians. The latter were
forcibly elected from the hall. One
of the principal features throughout
the conference has been the rromi-
nent attitude of thu English female
orators.

READING, Pa, Nov. 2.--Deputy
Sheriff S.runk and a posse of police
men returned from Gibraltar, five
miles from here, the cen of the
railroad riot, having IN custody q
rioters. They will have a hearing IN
the morning. The are all Hunga-
rians employed on the new Schuyl-
kill branch of the Pennsylvania road.
This morning contractor Hauermau
paid them off and discharged them
because they were rebellious and de-
manded higher wages. They got
drunk, intimidated other workmen
and tried to persuade them not to
work; Next they attacked and de-
strOyed everything they could lay
their hands on. The posse pursued
them and caught up with them at
Birdsboro, whereal were captured ex-
cept one or two. Pistols were taken
from several. Others carried dam
gerous looking knives. The charge
of rioting. and intimidating workmen
will be preferred against them.

A convention of both political par
ties will be held to-day to nominate
candidates for Delegates TO the Con
stitutional Convention. The best
men Of both parties will doubtless he
selected for the important position.
No one should decline the proflered
trust. Although Delegates will not
receive ally pecuniary compensation
for their services the simple fact that
their selection is a distinguished
mark of confidence reposed in them
by the representatives of the people,
possesses a value which cannot be
measured by dollars and cents.

The C~hiracahuas are becoming
hungry and are willing to surrender.
They will be comfortably housed and
fed during the coming winter by our
indulgent government, and when
the grass is green and the song of
the bird breaks the silence of the
Sierra Madras they will fold their
army blankets and quietly steal
away to their old haunts and lead
pursuing soldiers a wild goose chase
through the dark defiles and over
the rugged heights of their hiding
grounds. Such ia the benign In
dian policy of the best government
the sun ever shone upon.

WHAT THEY WANT.

Many intensely radical Republic
can journals are borrowing trouble Or
finding fault ahead of time with the
next Democratic Congress, because
it will probably not tinker with the
silver dollar business. The Bankers
Convention, which lately assembled
at Louisville, declared that the
compulsory coinage of the standard
silver dollars is against the welfare
of the nation" In obedience to the
resolve Of these monied oracles the
Republicans now argue that the
Democrats must reform the silver
question. They must stop this flow
of fraudulent coin,r this ''debased
currency" The Democrats most re-
specially decline. They propose, for
the present at least, to leave the sill
yer question just as the Republicans
lett it for them. The former hold
that if there are any reforms needed
they were Just as apparent to the
commanding intellect of the Repub-
lican party a year ago as they are
now. If the coinage of the standard
dollar was vicious legislation the Re-
publicans have had abundant oppor-
tunity to reform it.
Democrats in the next Congress
will not attempt to disturb the
financial relations of the country.
They will be very careful about tink-
ering with the tariff. They will at
tempt no radical legislation. In fact
they will do nothing to endanger
their success in 1884. They will
make haste very slowly. and the fact
that this is announced as a part of
the programme of the Democratic
House makes the Republicans ner-
vous and uneasy. They want the
to tackle the silver aues-
ton; they want to see them head and
in the tariff business; they
want them to try new and radical
that will
disturb the present equable temper
of the people, that political capital
may be made against them. They
will not be accommodated.

WEALTH IN CONGRESS.

We wouldn't intimate that ambi-
| tious men bought seats in the United
| States Senate or in the House of Rep
resentatives, but it is just a little SIM
gular and 80 singular as to attract at
tention that very rich men who want
to 60 to Congress generally get there.
It would be hardly fair to the thou
sands in the land who are giants in
intellect but pigmies in purse, to say
that great wealth always accompa-
MES great minds, but when one looks
over the lawmakers Of the nation
he must come to the conclusion that
gold and brains naturally couple
themselves together, or that gold
supplies the place of brains, or is a
very important factor in putting
a man in a place where brains
are needed. If this were
not 80 how does it happen that the
Fairs, the Sharons, the Tabors, the
Bowens, the Sablns, the Dolphs and
many Others, remarkable only for
their wealth, occupy seats in the Ma
tional Congress once occupied by
Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Douglas,
Benton and other intellectual giants.
1t is a puzzle. Still the number of
wealthy members of Congress in
creases. In speaking of them a Cos
sipy newspaper exchange says: Col.
Lyman, of Massachusetts,, is one of
the new members who will entertain
deliberately next winter. He inner
tied great wealth. Washburne, of
Minnesota, has rented Don Gamer
on's house, and will give lavish re.
ceptions. OF the new senators, nearly
all are rich. Bowen, of Colorado, is
. mining lord. Sabin, Of Minnesota,
went from Connecticut twenty years
ago, and is now very rich. Dolph, of
Oregon, is "A th,ifty corporation
attorney. Coiquit is one of the best
to-do men in Georgia, and Glib on, of
inherited wealth. There
are not many poor men left in the
Senate. Count cut Blair, Frye, Ken
na, Jones, Of Florida, and Riddle
and the rest are accounted
rich.

! The meaning of the Iowa election
is equally significant. The state has

in the ability of the Democrats to
break down its overwhelming Re-
publican majority that but little out
side aid was rendered the struggling
minority. Yet the returns show
that the Demscrats and Greenback-
ers combined lack but ten votes upon

a United States Senator of their own
choice. The Republicans in Iowa
cannot stand another such victory as
they gained a few weeks ago. The
