The French people are evidently be-
levers in the old doctrine formulated
and enforced in the worlds early his
tory-''an eye for an eye and tooth for
tooth" French officers say the reason
why they showed no mercy to the Chi
nese during the naval engagement at
Foo-Chow, was because Of the outrages
committed by the Orlentals upon two
French sailors who fell into their hands
at Kelung, these unfortunate men hav-
ing been mutilated and decapitated. Of
course the French did not display the
Christian spirit recommended in the
New Testament, yet, after all, they are
not deserving of severe censure, for re-
taliation is the only measure that will
bring the ''heathen Chinese to a real
izing sense of the fact that an honora-
BILE warfare is preferable to that of bar
harians. When one is in Rome it is
wisdom, as rule, to do as the Romans

TIE Chicago Inter Ocean very truth
fully says that Cincinnati had narrow
escape from riot on Tuesday. If once
the spirit of bloodshed had gained the
ascendency, death and destruction would
have swept over that city, Desperadoes,
many of them imported for that pur-
pose by the democratic leaders, attempt
ed to capture the polling places and by
the, intimidation of republican voters,
colored men especially, and the repeat
ing of democratic thugs they hoped to
prevent republican victory, at least in
Hamilton. county. Roughs from Chica-
go were reported on hand in considera-
BILE numbers. Silk stocking gentry fur
nished the money and shoulder hitters
were to do the work. The entire ma
chinery of state and local government
being in the hands of the democracy,
the terriers were confident of success,
and it was on that confidence that the
democratic mathematicians figured in
predicting good news from Ohio. The
city was largely saved from riot and
the polls from fraud by the United
States marshal and his deputies The
bowling and bloodthirsty mob, eager for
a melee and deliberately aiming at ''con-
fusion verse than confounded,' was
overawed by wholesome fear of the
federal constabulary. Even as it was
some fatal shots were fired and many
wounds inflicted, but at no time and in
10 precinct did anarchy prevail. The
marshals force was equal to the emer-
gency.
