DON'T BE Afraid to Vote for Butler.

Many Democrats and Republicans, who re-
volt at the idea OF voting for either CLEvK-
LAND or BLAINE, are afraid to go for BUTLER
lest they thereby lose caste In their party
and be frowned upon by the leaders when
tho contest Is over. These timid politicians
are short-sightcd. They overlook the salient
feature OF the situation. They do not watch
the current OF events or comprehend tho
commanding position they will occupy II
they have tho bravery and sagacity to vote
for the Peoples candidate for President.
Whichever way the election may go In
November. the reorganization OF both the old
parties will commence with tho opening OF
tho next Administration In March, Indeed,
II CLEVELAND is defeated, the reconstruction
Of the Democratic party will begin with tho
meeting Of Congress In December. There
would 10 loud call from every portion Of
tho country for the work to be entered upon
without delay, and especially from tho
Democratic masses OF the South. On the
other hand, the Republican party, torn into
factions by its very success would find itself
drifting toward tho breakers Of dissolution
before the middle OF BLAINEs first term.
In such OH emergency the men who would
boar the most prominent share and exert the
greatest influence In building up the two par
tics OF tho futurc-ior there will always be
two In republic-would be those who had
had the wisdom to anticipate tho coming Of
the now epoch, and showed their faith by
their works In voting for BENJAMIN F. But
LER. History teaches that such was the case
In the past reconstruction of parties in the
United States, and 1t will be 30 in the great
political change about to dawn upon us.
Therefore do not be afraid to bolt from
CLEVELAND and BLAINE to BUTLER. The
men who have the courage and strength to
tear down the dilapidated political organiza-
lions that now cumber the land, do thereby
prove that they possess the capacity and
vigor necessary to erect the now and better
parties which the times demand.

The International Sc entifc Association.

The International Sc ientiflc Association.
The committees appointed by the British
and American Associations to consider the
expedicncy Of forming an International Sci
entifc Association include very sensible men,
who will probably SEQ that for tho highest
success OF tho new body something moro is
needed than a mere indiscriminate inter-
mingling Of scientific associations. Tho
British committee consists OF Sir WILLIAM
THOMSON, Sir LYON PLAyFAIR, and Prof.
VERNON HARCoURT; the American of Messrs.
NEwcoMB, HUNT BARKER, PICKERING, Pow
ELL. REMsEN, and MINoT.
The project OF an International Scientific
Congress seems to have originated In friend
ly, professional sentiment rather than In
any crying scientific need. It was set afoot
soon after the British Association took the
unprecedented step Of selecting Montreal as
its meeting place for 1884. Tho presence Of
British and American men Of science. first in
that city and then In Philadelphia, gave 1t q
great impetus. Such projects are often
taken up and promoted on political or 90
clal grounds, despite intrinsic drawbacks.
Much time and expense would DO necessary
for tho yearly travelling Of men Of science
from country to country, In order to see
each other for week; and on such occasions
hours and DAYS are deducted from scientific
conferences for tho purpose of Hospitality
entertaining uuests who have come a great
distance. Even at Philadelphia, tho holi-
days. excursions, and receptions bore q de-
cidedly large proportion to what might be
called the school hours, Science. too. already
knows no restriction OF geographical boun-
dary lines. and its processes and results arc
made known a. thoroughly and disseminated
almost or quite az RAPIDLY In other countries
"A 10 the one where thew may originate,
Il mipht even be argued. perhaps. that the
friction OF Internationally Is quito a. likely
to work In an undesirable as In a desirable
way when applied to scientific studies and
investigations. One result OF the Interna-
tional Polar Congress was the ambitious ef-
fort of the United Statcs Sipnsl Office to out
do other nations In an advance to the pole.
followed by the rash occupation of the often
inaccessible Lady Franklin Bay station, with
the subseouent loss of tho proteus and the
horrors OF Cane Sabine.
As an offset to this Wow We find successful
and useful bodies, like tho international
Medical Congress, already In operation; we
have the general tendency OF science to
broaden and to FREQ Itself from local methods
and environments; we have, finally, very
practical gains to be looked for through con.
osntratin1 the efforts of the science OF many
countries upon specially selected fields. un.
der the authority and aid Of q common or.
ganization.
The conclusion Is that, to make the pro.
posed International Scientific Association q
worthy and fruitful institution, 1t must be
something more than an organization fol

The Quarrel Between Francs asd Ohina.
To THE EDrToR OF The SuN-Sir: Please In
form what brought about the present hosttss be.
tween France and China. CD.s.
France. for nearly ono hundred years. has
had commercial interests In AMMAN. a country
adjoining tho Chinese frontier. From time to
time France has sought to increase her influ-
ence In that country. and In 1874 she extortod
. treaty from King Tuduo guaranteeing
the Independence Of AMMAN and establish
ing Q sort Of French protectorate over the
country. China. which for centuries has
claimed and exercised rights Of suzsrainty
over AMMAN protested against this treaty. and
denied the right OF the King Of AMMAN to make
any such arrangement with France. The CON-
troversy thus begun between France and China
grew In bitterness. In 1881 France made war
on King Tuduo for failing to carry out his OBJ
legations under the treaty. The war continued
until after the Kings death last July and then
France made treaty Of pence. known a. the
treaty Of Hue. with his successor. which pro-
vided for . territorial cession TO Franco. and
confirmed the French protectorats over An
nam. This treaty was moro obnoxious TO
China than that OF 1874 and widened the
breach between the two countries. France
then demanded an indemnity from China for
certain aid and comfort given her enemy dur
ing the Annamese struggle. The two powers
could not agree on tho indemnity question.
and their various complications led to the
attack at Lang-son and tho fight at Foo-Chow
