tlND.HUNGER IN rHE o1D WoRtD

There Is nj present marked acccss of land
hunger IN the old world a tendency to reach
out anl annr3 savage or seini-savage countries,
wilhout much visible mbtve beyond territorial
extension. England hns already far sttnter
rainnial nassrsslons than she lhows what tb tlb

march Is Inclined "a strike hands with fefN ~
an effort 10 check the colonzing progress at
Great iritan aud secure some OF the little an
apuronriated savage land that remains for the
allies. As to the Congo country that Is u
hugo bone over which all Europe is liable to
quarrel, though notwithstanding all the glowing
representations of travellers it is really very
doubtful whether that region can be made to
pay profit on exploitation within the space of Il
generation But If or when all the savage
countries have been parcellcd out among the
Western Powers, it is difficult to see what great
benefit con accrue To them. C0onl2ing peoples
like the English certainly extend the power Of
the race to which they belong, and its material
wealth. but they do not necessarily increase the
strength of the central government, and colo
nics in time Of war are always special points of
weakness. The expansion of Germany and
France must compel them to enlarge their
navies, and lay them open to the dangers which
threaten England in the event OF war with
any maritime Power.
Colonies moreover are like children. They
demand care and protection during their
homage, and when they have attained maturity
they are very apt to repudate the parental au-
thorty, and insist on setting up establishments
of their own This is the course of nature
and il must always be rcckoned with. The
United States possess an immense advantage
over the countries of Europe in the fact that
all their colonizing is done on one continent,
and that all their expansion only increases
the strength and the unity of the Republic.
The colonization of foreign countries, on the
other hand, produces only a seeming but pre-
carous increase of national strength, ana the
process carries with it the influences which
tend 10 separation. There can be no doubt that
thc weight of the English-spealing people has
been greatly increased, regards the whole
world by British colonization. But 1t Is not
so clear that the position of Great Britain has
been improved permanently by the policy. 1t
is also 70 be remarked that the modern phiOso-
phy has thus far effected no change for the bet
ter in the external operation OF national ethics,
for it is plain that in the passion for annexation
which is Just now SO rampant. the same utter
indifference prevails as to the rights ana wishes
of the feeble peoples whose countries are being
seized and appropriated as governed the same
kind of proceedings in the days of Cortez and

4 nv the Commissioners. The city pays the
| Commissioners interest OH them until maturity,
but not as IT pays interest to other holders
| the interest which the Commissioners receive
| from the city is used to pay of the indebted
ness to other holders of the bonds. Mr.
| Lacombe SAYS that in the event OF bonds De-
| coming due at a time when the commissioners
| did not have the cash assets with which TO pay
| them. they might sell on the market other bonds
held by them not yet due, and that these
| bonds SO sold would clearly not be
considered an extinguished debt But the
| answer will be made that the relative condition
of affairs. so far as the amount oi the citys
debt Is concerned. would not be altered in the
least. For the proceeds of the sale OF the bonds
would themselves at once be USED 10 reuuce py
so much the amount of the outstanding DEBT
that is by the redemption of the maturing
bonds.
Mr.. Lacombe does not conclude with
ont n candid admission that his pOsinOn
Is not entirely free from doubt, for he says:
at is undoubtedly true that by reason OF the
81 fact that there is large accumulation IN the
"Sjnkinp Fund the city will have to raise less

avoid future embarrassments OF this problem
tho CORPORATION Counsel presents reasonable
and sensible solution. If the courts should

be enforced, 10 meet which there would be no
means at hand except by direct taxation. and
this would make the burden of taxation for the
time being too heavy TO be endured 1t Ia
therefore proposed that an amount OF bonds, the
time of whose sale is not restricted by law,
sufficient 10 meet such new obligations, should
be sold before January l, 1885. AS MIR. La

of considerable responsibility. But IT appears
to be the only prudent way to meet the dill
