France that has regarded herself as the her
editary foe OF the German Is already mori-
bund In German eyes, and this power really
menanced by the contemplated annexation
Is England. Germany has determined In her

which England can never resist, because the

What a wonderful country Chill is, and
what a people are the Chiliansl 1t is impos-
sible for an American citizen to read the last
message sent by the president to the Gillian
congress without some signs of sorrow,
some heart burnings of envy. We know
what ought to be done, but the Chilians do
it. The Chilians have this year q surplus OF
nine millions of dollars, and this sum, or at
least seven millions, is to be spent in extern
sions of the state railroads. They have
solved the problem. The railroads are
owned by the state. They have a surplus

the railroads is for maintenance and wear

the revenues will be, next year, AT least
seven millions more than this year, the presi-

vance certain expenditures in which the
building of school houses and the improve

1t is said that in ali probability there will
be some joint action between the German
and British governments for the restoration
of order in East Africa. The phrase is a
good one, but it reminds one irresistibly of a
Russian sentence about order reigning in
Warsaw. The two powers will proceed to
land a powerful force of marines and sailors
IN Zanzibar, and will reduce the sultan to an
automaton oDeying such orders as thy macy
give him. The natives will be massacred

themselves under the protection of white
men, and when a sufficient number of the

their sultan and imaum. The problem can
not be solved from the east, because white
men cannot remaint there for any length of
time without falling victims Of the fever. The
coded lands are on a plateau in the interior
which is much more salubrious, and these
will always be in danger unless protected by
a strong force on the coast. Butno European
power would think of permanently locating
any force in such a fever-swept locality after
the experience Of the Portuguese for the last
four hundred years. White men die like
rotting sheep, and those that become accli-
mated are enervated, and addicted to palm
wine, and in no sense a match for the furious
fanatics of the Soudan. The problem can
