time in the history OF modern Europe when
miltarism in time of peace was so univer-

so oppressive. The following are the fig-

that there are today in Europe about

The Corpse Robbers of willapa.

south Bend Journal.
The utter ueprayity and cupidity displayed by
some on the ocean beach at the time of the fear
ful Strathbiane wreck last Tuesday Is even al
most beyond belief. To ruthlessly rob the dead
amid the cries of drowning men, or breaking
open and rifing the contents of boxes and
trunks while possibly their owners were beg
ging for help at the time, shows that human ma
ture does not greatly change with time, and
that only the strong arm of the law
prevents some of our fellow-crea-
lures from displaying the depraved
and brutal instincts which brought Captain
Kidd and his rufianly companions to the Ty-
burn gallows In long ago. Let US hope that the
perpetrators of the outrages referred to were not
American citizens, and that, II known, some
means will speedily be found to punish them.
1t Is not the first instance OF the kind on our
coast Similar scenes were enacted when the
Grace Roberts was wrecked, and it Is standing
disgrace to our county and our humanity which
is hardly tempered even by the bravery of the
men who repeatedly breasted the angry surf
and uobly risked their own lives to save others.

ming of the Chilean trouble has warmly
espoused the cause of the United States.
While there is not the slightest evidence
that Lord Saiisbury's government disap-
proves of the action of our government in
its demand for redress from Chile. there is
no doubt that the whole Liberal party
under Gladstone endorses 1t. No respectable
English newspaper, from the Times down,
pretends to deny that If the evidence of
the Baltimore's sailors is true, they were
the victims of the foulest outrages ever
committed upon unarmed men in .
friendly port. With such report Secre-
tary Blaine would have failed of his duty
had he not demanded an immediate ex-
PLANTATION.
All the precedents for the stand taken
by our government are drawn from British
diplomatic history. To illustrate: In 1878
the British warship Niobe was in port of
Honduras. One of her sailors went ashore,
got drunk, was arrested and imprisoned.
The captain of the ship at once demanded
the release of the sailor and an apology
from the municipal authorities for the ar
rest. The seaman was set free, but the
mayor was loath to apologize for an act in
doing which he believed himself to have
been justified. Thereupon the captain
fired shells into the town, and would have
blown it to atoms had not his demand
been complied with. The Honduras gov
eminent, having subsequently appealed to
the foreign Office for indemnity for the
damage inflicted by the shells. was CURLY
informed by Lord Beaconsfeld that the
action of the Niobe's captain was approved.
The action of England in her attack on
the Taku forts on the Pei Ho river is an
other case in point. In June. 1850, the
English and French ENJOYS started for
Pekin to exchange the Publications of the
treaty of Tien-tsin which had been signed
the year before. Arriving at the Taku
forts the Chinese commander refused the
ENJOYS passage. Whereupon Admiral
Hope. commanding the naval escort,
opened fire with his feet to force a pass
age up the river for the ENJOYS, and sent
storming party against the forts, which
was repulsed with loss Of 450 killed and
wounded out of ], 100 men. England and
France instantly made war on China, cap
tured Pekin and destroyed the famous
Summer Palace. A still more fragrant
case was that of the bombardmeut
of Canton by order of Sir John
Bowring. because of the seizure by China
of piraticai craft, the Arrow, which had
holsted the British flag to screen its oper-
atoms. The bombardment Of Alexandria
and occupation of Egypt is a more recent
illustration of the severity of England's
policy in dealing with weaker govern
ments. If English sailors had been MUIR
dered in the streets of Valparaiso no Eng
lish ministry, liberal or conservative,
could endure an hour If it acted less agrees
sively than has the United States. In a
week there would have been an English
fleet in the harbor of Valparaiso and an
apology instantly extorted under threat of
bombardment.

the continent of Europe today, and it
would be difficult to exaggerate its fright
fully demoraIizing consequences to the
people who sweat under this vast military
burden. William r. Thayer, in the current
number of the Forum, delineates the in
jury of this oppressive militarism to the
cause of popular freedom and social hap
piness in Europe.
European civilization today Is based on the
idea that war is not only an imminent posi-
bility, but probability; and great class In
every country has been trained TO look upon
blood-shedding as its proper vocation.
The military budget exceeds, many times over
does it exceed, the appropriations for public In
struction. The salary of a colonel Is earned by
but few professors. The cost of the powder and
shot wasted in Europe between any dawn and
dusk would probably pay the running expenses
of all her public hospitals. In each govern
ment, whether it be constitutional or autocratic,
the army may with truth be said to direct legis-
lation; for the legislatures, willingly or unwill-
ingly, vote the appropriations demanded by the
war department. Even IL a legislature dares to
question or protest, II is quickly frightened into
acquiescing by an alarming report from the min
lister for war. Thus the military class controls
government, and has laws passed to suit itself,
and prevents all attempts TO cut down or to
abolish its power.

Abolition of WoolIey.
Sedro Press, Nov. II

We are enabled to announce the result Of the
election on the name OF the two towns of Sedro
and woolley. The polls opened at o'clock and
the ballots continued to find their way to the
box until D. N. A count of the ballots
showed the result to be 142 for Ssdro and 92 for
Denver, giving Sedro a majority of fifty votes.
This is the settlement of this question, and we
congratulate the people of the junction on the
manner in which they accepted the result We
will not dwell upon the benefits to be derived,
but viii say that all recognize the importance
of the step, and united thus we can all work to-
gether for the common good of the town. All
luminosity is now driven from our midst, and
the people of Sedro join hands.
