THE SEAS ADVANCE.
How Sandy Hook and Staten Island Hav,
Suffered of Late Years

aow Sandy Hook and Staten Island Have
Suffered of Late Years
Year after year for the past twenty
summers the Outposts and defenses set
up on the coast against the invading
surf are carried by storm. Line after
line is rolled back; whole settlements
have retreated and repeatedly made a
stand inland far from the places they
first occupied; and the retreat still
goes on. Coney Island, Sandy Hook
and Staten Island have suffered from
this invasion of the waves. On the
south beach of the latter region traces
of old homesteads are found at the
water mark, and within the memory of
some of the old inhabitants meadows
hOurished and corn grew where CLANS
are now plentiful. But without going
into hearsay evidence upon this point,
one has only to look at the beach
itself. There he will find the
roots of pine trees more than
half way out from the present line of
high water. The trees that stood there
are well remembered by many persons
whose recollection need only 60 back
some ten or fifteen years. And we are
told the evidence is the same all along
a considerable portion of the Atlantic
seaboard. Just where this thing is
going to stop it might be diff cult to
say. Perhaps some scientific men will
say that in ages past the sea here
abouts came very much further inland
than it does at present; that it receded,
and has now taken notion to come
back again. Well, it certainly does
look little that way. Every new
storm appears to bring the water
further up than the one that came be-
fore it.
But let the wild winds whistle and
the breakers roar; the continent is a
big one. and can stand a good deal of
encrOachment. Besides there is con-
ISOLATION in the reflection that, if we
are heavy losers just hereabouts, some
other region is in like degree a
gamer, for whatsoever the sea takes
away it may not keep, but must pres
emily elsewhere deposit the same. N.

Boston Transcript.
Gladstone has never truckled to
royalty. Like Palmerston he dis
charged his duty, when premier, with
very little regard to the wearer of the
British crown, although careful not to
trench upon any queenly prerogative.
But he never flattered Victoria as did
Disraeli, bestowing upon her the title
of Empress, or playing the part of
courtier, as has Salisbury. His atti-
tude has been consistent, and he could
proudly announce in the house of
commons, last night, that he twas
averse to all measures of economy
that impaired the dignity or splendor
of the crown" This was a far-reach-
ing pronouncement on his part, EN-
bracing his abiding and firmly
grounded belief that the present form
of government in England, even with
its expensive adjunct of royalty to be
supported, was the very best possible
for its population, exactly adapted to
the conservative instincts of English
men, and allowing the existence of
institutions without which the aver
age Briton would not feel that he
could live and flourish. Queen V.ct)-
ria's congratulatory message to MIR.
and Mrs. Gladstone, on their golden
wedding day, and the Prince of
Wales's present to Mr.. Gladstone,
show how the royal family appreciate
Mr.. Gladstone's defence of the British
government as it is. Above all things
the peerless liberal leader is an En-
glishman, proof against all tempta-
ton. The Queen and Prince of Wales
have furnished a sufficient refutatiOn
of all the charges of malignant tories
impeaching Gladstone's fealty to the
British empire.

REPUBLICANS count for but little in
Texas. 1t becomes necessary to re-
vert to democratic authorities and ut
terances in forecasting any possible
action on the part of the state. tits
generally accepted as fact that the
next state legislature will be elected
and controlled either in the interests
of the railways, or in opposition to
them or at least that such attempt
will be made and that the question of
railways and a railway commission
will be a prominent one in the next
campaign. The opinion of so prom
inent a democrat as Senator Coke is
therefore not without value orinterest
at this time. On this subject the sem
ator takes very strong ground in favor
of state railway commission, but
deprecates any extreme action that
will be detrimental to the railway in
terests of the state. The senator will
find that the problem of how to bind
so as to still unIoose is one Of the
things most difficult Of accomplish
ment.

The Chinese government seems to
be coming to accept the fact that the
construction Of railways in that coun-
try is inevitable. A cablegram an
nounces that the Emperor has decided
to issue an edict for the building of
another railway, and it is believed
that construction upon a large scale
will be the policy of the government
The little eighty five mile road which
now constitutes the entire railway
system of that vast empire seems to
have proved it's value, in the face of
the tremendous conservatism and sus-
picious prejudice of the Chinese, and
it will dou btless prove the forerunner
of not merely tens of thousands, but
eventually of hundreds of thousands
