HosTILITIEs between France and

HosTILTTIEs between France and China
have actually begun by the bombsrdment
OF Foo Chow. II the struggle is to con.
tinue between France and China, of
course the former will be successful.
The superior discipline of her troops and
the use of modern engines of warfare
will more than counteract the advantage
of superior numbers, which is possessed
by the Chinese. Chinese Empire is
supposed TO be as populous as Europe
and can put the same complement of men
in the field. \ goodly number of the
Celestials are brave and quite skillful
warriors, especially the inhabitants OF
Chinese Tsrtary. If the war is prolonged
for period of time sufficiently long to
enable the Chinese to learn the art of
modern warfare from their enemy,
France wilt have job on her hands.
which she may we'll regret to have under
taken. Moreover the greed OF European
Powers or foreign conquest was never
greater than at the present day. Germany
and Russia are no longer content to see
England and France increase their for
eign dominions and absorb all they can
conquer. 4 war i'll which any European
Nation, however weak. is engaged in, is
likely ~ disturb the peace of the whole |
of Europe. Alliances, and counter !
slliances, offensive, and defensive, have
been formed there within the last few
years and but small spark is needed to |
kindle destructive fame. If the peace |
of Europe con inues for another quarter
Of a century, and the vsrious nations
support and keep on increasing their
military organizations, as they have with
n the past twenty-five years. the cou-
iuent will not only be impoverished, but
arkrupt.

The United States Steamer Tallapoosf

The United States Steamer Tallapoosa
| was run into ~ coal schooner and de-
posted on the bed of the Atlantic covered
by about sixty fathoms of water. A few,
"a very few are sorry for her fate.
Those who mourn her loss are the great
dignitaries at Washington. She has been
used, report says. as a convoy for the
agents of Butler and Blaine, and became
useful and convenient resort in which
to carry on delicate negotiations How
ever this may be she was en-route for the
abode of Secretary Chandler who wanted
to make an extended cruise in her at the
expense of a generous public.
She was war vessel, built in belliger-
ent times and calculated for use in war
emergencies. She has been used to pro-
mote the comfort of public functionaries
at the expense of the people of the United
States.
Fifteen years ago the infamous Robe
son inaugurated the custom of using her
for the amusement of officials who sink
away from their duties to indulge in
regal recreation. Fivehundred thousand
dollars have been spent in converting her
from warship into first class passes ger
boat for the sole benefit of these recre-
ants. This amount is but drop in the
buckle. compared with what these shame
less excuisionists have actually cost the
country. The exact amount will probab.
ly never be known.
The officers in charge of the Tallapoosa
were wholly TO blame for the collision,
but few care enough about her to even
censure them. Indeed if the sinking of
the vessel will have the effect of even
temporarily checking this manner of
plundering the national treasury, her loss
should be hailed with gladstone feelings
and reioicings by all good citizens.
1t is to be hoped that no attempt will
be made to resurrect her from her watery
grave. She has found a fitting resting
place and there she should lie "Noth-
ing in life became her like the leaving of
it."
There is another subject connected
with her deserving of consideration.
She was considered one of the best yes
sells owned by the government. If she
| hadn't been, government officials would
surely not have risked their precious
lives in her. She was going at about the
same rate of speed as the vessel she col
lided with. The vessels were going in
exactly opposite directions and yet the
coal hulk sunk her. She went down ten
minutes after the collision and her crew
consisting of some ITO persons were
transferred to the schooner. Had she
been as unseaworthy as the Tallapoosa
it is not improbable that the loss of life
would have been fearful. The millions
Of dollars that have been spent on the
American navy has evidently been put
to good use. Our vessels are, no doubt
in prime condition to stand the shock OF
modern warfare, when an ordinary
schooner can, with apparent ease, and
without any serious damage to itself
sink one of the best of them without
trying.

paper to an employe of his. The present
owner has sent out begging circulars
stating that the paper is in tight place
and wants people to send on one dollar
or two dollars according to their means
for which he will publish their names
with the amount of their donation.
Brick says if he wants to beg, he will do
it over his own name and cautions all
persons against sending money to the
person thus soliciting.
