IDENTIFICATION or THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.
The open advocacy Of the abandonment
OF her possessions in Africa by the leading
paper of Great Britain is so in contrast with
her traditions and policy as to suggest the
inquiry if disintcgration of the British I'm
pire has set in. It has lately tranSpired
that her former reliance upon the finest
navy in the world is now leaning upon a
broken reed With Continental Europe
armed and armored to the teeth on land
and sea, this decsdeuce of the British navy
seems ike deliberate suicide unless she has
decided upon a revival of all English tradi-
tons and policy and abandonment Of her
iOreign possessions This could result in
nothing but the complete disintegration OF
the British Empire and the narrowing of
domain to the British Isles. This would
mean taking the rank of a second rate
power and the loss of British commercial as
well as political supremacy throughout the
world.
Can it be that the seeds of national de-
cay have already taken root in British soil?
With the best home government in exist
ence to day and the manufacturing and
financial centres of the world, it would seem
impossible that this should be true Yet
those seeds have been sowing for the past
twenty-five years, and it would be contrary
to nature if some had not been growing.
The moment she abandoned the policy of
further conquest, that moment the growth
Of the British Empire ceased, because it
was the forced growth of might, not right
He that taketh the sword, must live by the
sword as well as die byit. When, therefore,
be sheathes his sword, death BY the sword
Of his enemies begins aud disintegra-
ton is inevitable. This seems to be cor
rect diagnosis ofthe case Of the British En-
pire, which has passed the zenith of its
power and military glory without question.
Her influence in European affairs is also
rapidly waning; and Notwithstanding It's
extension in Northern Africa or Egypt, it is
nearly lost in Southern Africa, where
French and German influence is gaining
while Russia and France are Overshsiow;ug
her in Asia outside Of her own Indian En-
pire, and the United states is already more
potent in both the northern and southern
hemispheres OF the New World If this is
not disinte. ion then all the signs are mis-
leading.

The Globe versus The Freeman.

The New York Globe which for the past
three years has been the accredited organ of
the African race suddenly collapsed the
early part Of the present month. The Globe
under the able editorship of Mr.. Thomas 4.
Fortune not only commanded respect but it
was also positive agent for good to the
people whose cause it so earnestly espoused;
and the collapse of the Globe would be
grave loss to the colored race had not the
FTeenan been resurrected from the smould-
ering embers of the dying Globe. The Free
man was issued last Saturday with Mr..
t. Thomas Fortune in the editorial chair;
its colums were well filled with bright, crisp
matter and It's typographical completeness
was worthy of commendation. Mr.. Fort
une after referring to the unpleasantness
which resulted in the disintegration of the
Globe says
'It will thus be seen why the Globe will
no more delight those who have for so long

loved the Globe as loved myself,and in PEN
ing the words which announce its sudden
and most unexpected collapse no man could
have heavier heart OF unsteadier hand than
mine But things we love, as well as those
we hate, must, in the nature of things, pass
away; and the most the strongest man can
do is to drop tear on the tombstone of de-
parted worth. from other attachments, and
go forward with renewed hope and courage
to battle for those vital principles of right
and justice which never die, because they
are as immutable as Destiny.
The Globe is deadl Long live TIE Free

And we would add that we think that
the colored people Of this city make mis-
take in not giving the Freeman their generous

A well known Gentleman thus
writes from Albany.

Governor Cleveland, like every sensible
New York man of the party, believes that
the war was ended twenty years ago. He
regards its issues as settled, and the whole
tenor of the immense number of congratula-
tory letters he has received from the South
in the last few days would justify him in as
suming that the best men in the South be.
lieve the war issues settled, also.
On our national banking system he holds
the same opinions that every sensible New
York banker of prominence holds.
On the tariff question, from all that is
known of his opinion, judge he stands
with President Arthur, Secretary Hugh
McCulloch, Secretary Gresham, the late Sec
retary Folger and Comptroller Knox. He
believes that the revenues of the Govern
ment are too large. He is opposed to remov-
ing duties on whiskey and tobacco as long
as the necessaries of lif are taxed. He is a
conservative in the extreme, as his course
towards legislation proves.
OF one thing you may rest assured: our
Presideut-elect is plain, honest high mind
ed gentleman. His societyis cultivated here
by our very best citizens. without regard to
their political belief. He is modest unas.
suming gentleman, and the mode of life and
industrious attention to the duties of his
Office has won him hosts OF friends amongst
our best people since he became a resi-
dent of Albany, and we shall part with him
with deep regret. The administration ol
our Government during the next four years
will be conducted upon a high plane. Hon
esty and reform are our watchwords, and
you may rely upon the Government being
administered to that end, in so far as il
is in the power of our honest President to
do So
The Wilmingtonian., 1884-11-29

dent ever overrued him he would say with
great dignity: If the President was a man
of large experience in public affairs he
would not do this The people have said
that they do not want men Of too much ex-
perience. The Democratic Convention at
Chicago set aside all it's would-be leaders
and Eominat d Mr.. Cleveland, because he
had made great Governor of New York.
Too much experience in politics brings a
man under many obligations, which he is
frequently compelled to neglect his duty to
recognize. The President-elect is not in
this situation. He has been betrayed by
many party friends. He has been supported
by many party opponents. He is therefore
not trammeled by party obligations
"Who should go into the CabinetP New
men of talent, of which the country is full,
who have not risen higher in rank than the
President has heretofore occupied. Such
men as Whitney, Manning or Lockwood, Of
New York-personal friends of the Presi-
dent; Hoadly, of Ohio; Waller of Connecti-
cut; Knott of Kentucky, etc. Men who
would be compelled to win distinction in the
Cabinet by hard work; who would not go in
with the idea that they were greater than
their chief and only sit in his council to
learn how to defeat him for the succession.
