GERMANY ATHOME AND ABROAD,

zottc says may be taken a. the viows
and wishes of the Government i'm n mat

In this matter the Gazette is moro than
likely correct, for the wholepolicy of the
German Government is to conccn.
trato all its available forces, of whatever
character, at home, There is no DISPOSE
ton at Berlin to enter upon career of
foreign conquest, or waste its magnifi.
cent energies in foolish struggles
with savagcs and half savages in out
OF the way-places Of the world. But
for tho rigid conscript and military SER
vice in Germany, We should not hear
of such emigration to this and other
countries 10y the Germans, for other
wise all the efforts of the Government
are directed towards keeping the popu-
lati'n ut home. The result is seen. too.
in the more rapid increase of the POM
Iation of Germany. than that of any
other European country.
There is lesson for France and Itnly
in this. France has at least 10000 sol
dicrs and large navy engaged to-day
in attempts to secure minor triumphs in
Africa and Madagascar and China--is

and ruling Europe with an iron rod.
Young and reinvigoratcd Italy is be-
ginning to branch out also, and desire
establishments in Africa and the east
instead of strengthening itself ut home
by the expenditure of the money and
interest there that are thrown away
elsewhere. England, by her limited
homo territory and geographical posi-
ton, is forced to look elsewhere for her
support and prominence and power, but
Germany, of all nations of Europe, is
howing to the safe and correct line.

FORT WORTH AND FOREIGN CAPl.
TAI

Inc new evening paper of Fort Worth,
the Nails rasping its big contemporary
the Gazette, for the latter's recent an
tagonistic attitude to what il terms
"foreign," that is Northern capital, and
very wisely remarks in that connection
"The Mail trusts that no foreign cor
poration or Northern man will at
tach Importance to the silly utterances
of the Gazette or Con PETER SMITH.
They will find hosts of people in Fort
Worth who have no axes to grind
always ready to welcome them with
open-handed hospitality"
Tho Gazette ought to be ashamed of
itself lfthere is in this State city that
has cause to thank "Northern" capital
for its growth and present prominence,
that city is Fort Worth. Northern can
ital has made 1t, lifted it from the prairie
post into the pretontiouS city, and is vet
doing for it as town as much as the m
vestmcnt Company is doing for itself OH
of the Forts prominence, which is say
ing good deal for it. Now to turn upon
Northern companies or Northern capital
because home companies or home cap
ital have come into competition with
them, and seek to array against the
stranger, who was first on the field, and
there with an open and generous hand.
II local prejudice, il certainly in bad
tastc, and not the course of action likely
to favorably impress "foreign" capital
with North Texas as a field for invest
ment.
However, if the Fort has got tired of
Northern of foreign capital, Dallas has
not, and extends cordial invitation to
capital from all parts of the world to
como into our midst and reap the legiti-
mate rewards of honest enterprise among
wide-awalle, liberal and unselfish pop-
ulation. No homo influences or com
panies will he found fighting il here.
The power Of our city will not be in
yoked to Cypress it, and no other rivalry
be INDUCED than an open, generous,
business competitor upon plain business
principles. The HERALD will certainly
never be found attempting to drive away
incoming capital by playing upon local
prejudices.
