THREE WARS ON HAND NOW
An Illustration OF the Necessity af Eter-
nal Vigilance oa the Part Of the Brit
ish Governmental Red Hot Poil-
ticaI Campaign In Paris.

LONDON, Jan. 93-I.ord Derby addressed
meeting of the Liverpool Self Help Emigra-
tion society. lie made noairect references 70
the American project to impose tax on inn
migrants, but he advised that the greatest
precautions be resorted TO to protect the emf
grants and the reputation Of England. He
said that the emigraut, on landing in Amer
lea, should know where TO go to find employ
meat immediately II he were TO be seen
loating about, although it might be for only
few days, the cry would be raised, ENG
land is az her old game Of dumping down her
paupers bere.p
Speaking generally, he regarded emigra-
tion as a palliative rather than cure OF
English social and economic difficulties He
thought that well paid artisans and educated
men arc not likely 10 better themselves by
emigrating At the same time he said the
country should guard against exciting the
i'll win of the colonies by sending out inferior
and unsuitable emigrants The Times com
plains that slca course, sending the best
class of labor out of the country aud retain
ing all the inferior, the idle and the paupers
would be very doubtful advantage to the
mother country.
1t is curious example of the burdens OF
the British empire that England, having just
completed two campaigns--one against the
Black Mountain tribes in the northwe I OF
India and the other against the Thibetans,
in Sikklm, in the breast of the Himalayas--
is at the present moment engaged in three
separate and Independent wars, small ones,
II is true, but still wars in every sense OF the
word. Troops have been armed, equipped
and provisoned, and are now marching into
partly unknown and certainly unfamiliar
districts, inhabited by hostile people who
viii Surely fight
The first and most important Of these cam
paigns is against the Lustais. in the hills be-
hind Chittagong, who are habitually raiding
British territory and numbering British
officers and subjects.
Then there is an expedition TO conquer the
Chins, a powerful and turbulent tribe in
habiting the mountainous districts in north
west Burmab, bordering on Tipperah, Muri-
hore and Assam They have lately attacked
the parties who went out surveying the
region for the purpose of obtaining practi-
cable route by land from India to Burmah
They extend down the Chinwin river, and
are the only people on the west side Of the
Irrawaddy not yet reduced to submission
and order.
The third expedition is against the Red
Karens in the east Of Burmah, on the bor-
ders of Siam. A number OF Red Karen
tribes have united under chief named Saw
lawbaw, who refuses TO submit to British
rule as his neighbors have done, and whose
district is center Of active disturbances
There is no desire TO interfere with the Ka-
rens, provided that they VIII remain quiet,
but this majority of the Red Karens refuse
to do.
As the time approaches for the election of
a deputy for the department OF the Seine,
Paris Is becoming hideously disfigured by
rival election placards. The handsome steps
leading to the principal entrance of the
Grand Opera are decorated with forty rows
Of bills, alternately blue and yellow, each
bearing the name OF Boulanger This brill
liant ida seems to have nonplused the
Jacques billstckers, who, instead, as usual,
of covering each Of the Boulangist bills with
one of their own before the former are dry,
have left the Opera steps alone for at least
one day. There is no knowing what absurd
ity the politicians will next commit.
