Tho War Scare

Now that our home affairs have be-
come trifls less pressing, the foreign
correspondent is trying hard to make
himself interesting by his old talk of
wars and the doings of European states.
men. The war talk has not ceased to be
Of interest, but readers no longer place
much reliance upon prophecies of hostili.
ties, and merely note the facts reported
with regard to debates and the public
speeches OF Influential men. The only
basis for the present beligerent talk is the
demand repeated in various forms by the
war ministers Of the great powers for
more money for defenses. The grave
,t1'a of the French debate on the naval
Uysls.s.s . ''sss not alarming, because it is
evident that France as a republic among
monarchies, is really in a position of con.
slant peril, and is justified in a lavish
expenditure of money for the perfection
Of her means OF defense. The remarks Of
the king Of the Belgians look much
more stormy because the preparations
TO maintain neutrality in the event Of a
Franco German war have been looked
upon with great suspicion and it is sur
missed that the Belgian king has tip
from Berlin as TO coming events. The
fortifcstion of the Belgian frontier has
been pushed forward at great cost with
the ayowed object Of preventing the great
powers from making the kingdom their
battle ground, but in the event Of war it
may appear that Belgium is merely
guarding Germany from French inva.
sion, and not at oil averse to the
crushing Of the republic. The Ger
man government hastens to profit by the
war alarm occasioned by these matters
and the movements OF Russian troops.
1t will demand grants for the army and
navy which reach an estimated total of
$50 600 900 marks and will probably ask
Tor as much more for forts and arsenals.

Principles Will Triumph.

The solidity of the South for Democ-
racy is largely due to the fact that Re
publicanism there means the rule OF the
colored population. 1t is race conflict,
and in view of the dense ignorance Of the
Southern colored people and their easy
control by unscrupulous men this opposl-
tion is not at all unnatural. The change
In the South and the end of sectionalism
will come when the colored people reccg-
nize the hypocrisy Of tie Republican
protestations of friendship and begin 10
vote ard think for themselves. Then the
merits OF political issue will be con.
sdeied in the South as in the North, and
IN that good time coming the right will
prevail over the whole country. Perhaps it
y as well that reform of the tariff has been
postponed untili can lie carried out with
the approval OF all sections, for that
sanction is hound to come when the peo-
pie have bad time for calm thought over
the Absurdities Of the present system.

There Netd BE Little Fear,

The New York World publishes q
great number Of dispatches from the
Southern states, in reply to queries as to
the attitude of the people towards the
coming Reput lican administration. They
all Indicate an earnest desire on the part
OF the South to bury all sectionalism,
and let political agitation alone for a
healthy four years nap when it will wake
up to the vlgor of Democracy. OF
course the Democratic states do not
welcome Republican administration
with great enthusiasm but they evidently
intend to live peacefully under the law,
and to do their best in spite of high taxes
30 develop their country. Many of the
dispatches betray great anxiety as to the
policy of the new administration, and
seem to fear tha. they may be treated to
return of the old Republican spoilsmen.
A South Carolina dispatch says {:
IAN intense feeling of anxiety to know
what the policy of the new administration
towards the South will be, based on the
fear that attempts to restore Republican

h The Railroad Gazette publishes list
4 u roads that have made some slight
IHove In the direction of steam heating OF
ears. The New York Central & Hud-
soon River road heads the list with many
trains fully equipped with a satisfactory
Gvstem Of heating from the engine. The
Baltimore & Ohio has two experimental
trains and the Central Vermont one, while
our famous Pennsylvania railroad, which
olaims to lead the country in the best Of
modern improvements, has not steam
heated train to boast of.
Some cars have iron cages around the
oeove, but it is a sad fact that the fast and
cr0wded trains that pass through this
city daily on the main line of the Penn
eylvania system show no progress since
last winter, and many cars have only the
unprotected stove.
It looks very much as though great
disaster and the cremation of few score
) Of passengers will be needed to hasten the
Pennsylvania men. The excuse appears
TO be that steam coupler should be
adopted by all the roads so that cars
using different systems could be readily
united in the same train. A meeting OF
railway men was held in New York not
long ago for the express purpose of com.
ing to an agreement on this point, but
there happened to be several stubborn
engineers who had ideas of their own and
the conference came to nothing. 1t any
lives should be lost through the car stove
on the lines represented at that confer
ence the men who spoiled its work will
have large share of the responsibility.
