THE financial condition of France is not one
to encourage it's statesmen in going to war
either with China, or with England over the
incident Of the suppression of the French
newspaper in Egypt. When Napoleon fell
at Sedan, the total funded debt of France
was placed at 81, 500, OOO, 900. The heavy ex-
penses entailed by the war with Prussia
raised it to nearly $4,000, GOO, 900, the whole
increase being added between 1871 and 1873.
While the aggregate of the funded debt has
hardly changed since 1873, recourse has been
had to extraordinary budgets" until there is
a floating debt of more than So, 900, 900, 600.
The total public debt of France is thus nearly
Sc, 900. 900, 900, entailng an annual charge of
$240 000, 600, or nearly FIVE times the annual
charges on the national debt of the United
States A nation, however wealthy it may be,
cannot afford to increase such enormous bur-
dens, and war would work serious injury to
public interests mortgaged so heavily. What
France wants to do is to cultivate the arts of
peace and turn the streams of industry and
thrift to the work of developing and building
up the waste places.

The fourteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton provides that
'No person shall be senator or represen-
tative in Congress, or elector of President and
Vice-president, or hold any Office, civil or
military, under the United States, or under
any State, who, having previously taken an
oath as member of Congress, or as an officer

State Legislature or as an executive or ju-
dicial officer of any State, to support the Consti
tuition of the United States, shallhave engaged

In the conclusion Of his Emancipation Day
address, Hon. Frederick Douglass used some
words that are worth reproducing and worth
remembering They should be especially
pondered by those who sheer at the moralities
Of politics Mr.. Douglass said:
"In conclusion, let me say one word more
Of the soul of the Nation and of the inn
portance of keeping it sensitive and responsive
to the claims Of truth, justice liberty and
progress. In speaking of the soul of the Ma
ton deal in no cant phraseology. | speak of
thing which underlies the life alike of indi-
viduals and Of nations and determines their
character and destiny.
"It is the soul that makes nation great or
small, noble or ignoble, weak or strong. 1t is
the soul that exalts it to happiness, OF sinks it
to misery. While it modifes and shapes all
physical conditions. it is itself superior to all
such conditions. 1t is the spiritual side of
humanity. Fire cannot burn it, water cannot
quench it. Though occult and impalpable,
it is just as real as granite or iron. The laws
of its life are spiritual, not carnal, and it
must conform to these laws or it starves and
dies. The outward semblance of it may sur
vive for time, just as ancient temples and
old cathedrals may stand long after the spirit
that inspired them has vanished. But they,
too, will molder to ruin and vanish. The life
of the Nation is secure only while the Nation
is honest, truthful and virtuous for upon
these conditions depends the life of its life"
1t does not take very wise men to see es-
pecially in the history of the United States,
the vital presence and power of this ''souP of
which Mr.. Douglass speaks. And the soul is to
be found in every phase of our political life,
even the narrowest and most local. It is to
this "souP the Republican party must and
will appeal in the coming city election, against
the Democratic saloon oligarchy that is trying
to obtain control of every department Of mu-
nicipal affairs.

ing than he did Mrs. Myers responded that she

bing his wife with the knife, when
Barclay interfered and was cut.

exercised the most heroic forbearance. His wife
had left him to 60 off with a handsomer man.
Together they repaired to another town, where
they set up housekeeping. Myers followed the
pair, and put up at the same house, and was ap-
parently reconciled to the situation, when, in an
