Concerning the recent maneuvers Of
the French feet and its visit to England
and review by the Queen at Portsmouth,
French correspondent to the London
Times, says:
HencefOrth whatever faction governs
England it cannot remain neutral at the
threat of war, and no nation would dare
to engage In conflict without knowing
before hand which side England will In
cline II she turns towards the Triple
Alliance, her accession would give It q
crushing power; II she Joins France and
Russia. she would without doubt. oblige
the Triple Alliance to hesitate, and per
haps to draw back and whatsoever NAV
be said or done, England deposes hence
forth of the most formidable support
that either of the parties would dream oil
possessing. All the protestations in the
world would not alter the import Of this
fact. and the day that England asked FOL
the privilege Of receiving into her ports
a French feet she effected the cleveres
stroke In the domain Of European poll
tics that has been Witnessed during tn
last twenty one years.
The event seems scarcely Of suficien
moment to warrant such grave conse
quenees, such wild deductions, such en-
thusiastic concentrations and fulsou
admiration as the writer suggests. al
Imagination evidently was heated to
peacock blue state. He sees more tina
the facts justify
England always has occupied a moi
or less independent position in Europes
politics. She has never been drawn IN

interests She has rarely gone into eth

cAnlce hour Money

We have often suspended our duties In
publishing the livellest, most cheerful.
and best newspaper in Wilmington to sd-
mire the course OF the Every Evening.
We feel compelled TO stop ncwto sing a
psan to its triumphal straddle Of the
bridge question.
It was in particularly every even
ishp condition yesterday, and published
two editorials one on the first page and
one on the second page, both Of which en-
dorsed and condemned every bridge and
every bridge site which have been sug-
gested, and ia order to cover the ground
thoroughly both suggested some sites,
which have not been suggested before,
and condemned them.
The trouble or the beauty OF the edi-
torial on the second page seemed to be
the writer's doubt as to the attitude OF
some alleged former boss Of the Levy
Court" II his position could have been
defined then the every eveulsh" state OF
doubt or duplicity might have been
solved
Since there was no personal spite OF
raneor possible the wise editor rolled his
ewes and described the argument in favor
Of the bridge in the daily herseyesque
style as This is a valid argument, Il
sound" He might have committed
himself with equal terseness to the con
trary proposition Of "This is sound
argument II valid. That, though con
trary, would not have committed the
astute editor TO platform upon which
he could not jump with both feet in any
emergency hereafter.
After meandering about among the In
definite ifs" and "bats" of timid un
certainty, the conclusion Of this depart
ment was: with city debt OF 81, 800,
900. we are not likely to regard an extri
800, 900 added to our county debt as
very grave weight to carry"
Anybody can comprehend "eonclu
sion" like that and adjust it to suit him
self. It Is sort of fskir opinion abou
which choice may be had whether "yo
pays yer money" or not.

now. Hence we do not comprehend how
the situation is changed materially by
the friendly courtesies extended by the
British authorities TO the French 1eet
which was sailing about the high seas in
search of courtesies.
The same fleet had but few days ago
received similar courtesies from another
great power, Russia, at Cronstadt, but
that syent was not supposed to be Of sach
far-reaching political Importance.
But this letter, the whole Of which Is
written in the same highly wrought
style, is fair indication of the excited
state of European sentiment and politics,
There are delicate relations, influences
and counter influences existing which
though apparently trivial to the Western
mind, may be sufficient to set those great
armies in motion against a neighbor anC
send those great fleets to attack eacl
others commerce. That is the purpose
for which the fleets and the armies ar
maintained and it should not be aston
ishing If they should be used suddenly.

No MASON EoR RelNe.

In another article we have made few
incongruvial remarks about the Every
Evenings second page editorial which
with that on the hrst page was equally
fabby and undecided whether a bridge
should be built at all and equally deter
mined that a bridge should be built.
So there you are. There is no reason
why everybody should not be happy.
Beside this general similarity Of what
our friend Sperry would term precise
ness and sonclusiyeness, which means
everything or nothing, there is no kin
ship whatever between the articles.
The production on the FIRST page il
filed with phrases calculated to make the
Daily Hersey turn green. They
do not mean anything particularly
but they look impressive. They
seem to have occupied the mind Of the
writer to the disadvantage Of thoughts
and to have acted ~ axes around which
thoughts would eoagulate or hooks upor
which to hang alleged opinions.

1AAr ASYLUM NoT EoR us

We think the asylum spoken OF in
the article Ia the JOURNAL would be of
great benefit, that is, If such galoots as
try to convince American people that
free trade Is going to benefit them, re-
main above the ground a few years
longer. 1t seems to be o mania with
them Georgetown Republican.
The Democrats whs advocated an hon
est, low tariff, for revenue only, do not
need an asylum because, FIRST, they are
not fools, but thoroughly educated, per
fectly calm, business-like and honest
mep, who do not assert what they
cannot prove, and who are
unwilling to pay taxes themselves
or impose them on others. like the tin
plate and the maple sugar taxes, to build
up private industries; second. Democrats
do not ask Congress to levy tax on the
people to assist their business or to pay
the wages of their employees. II an
honest man cannot conduct the business
he ia In a. a profit he gets into some
other business which he can run at a
profit. He should not HE to Congress
and demand the next thing to an asylum
"a protective law
AS to the epithet, who Is the ''gsloot, "
the man who argues that a tariff for
revenue only, requiring 1920, 600 600
annually is free trade. or the man who
supports the sugar clause in the Nc
Kinley bin as protective measured We
do neither.
We can take a hand in singing
| eplthets ourselves, but this is plain,
common sense, every day business mat
ter, where great party is proposing to
keep burdensome taxes on unwilling
people, procured from Congress by I'M
fair means, small msjorities, for the ad-
vantages Of private industries and we
are seeking to know from the advocates
Of that measure: What public benefit, il
any, there is In these extremely doubt
full lsws2
There is no reason for epithets when
we are seeking facts and statistics which
the proposers and the advocates of such
curious legislation in free country and
among free people ought certainly "a
have or be able to obtain before passing
such laws
We know, Of course, that there are nc
statistics TO show that the entire popula-
ton Of Wilmington is benefited by the
very small and Insignificant proportion OF
protected industries and protected wage
earners here but we caught the George
town Republican making such an asser-
ton and called for the proof to give t he
editor the wriggles.
That can be easily done in every
such ease, because protectionism as SCI
forth by the Republican party, now, 4
arrant nonsense. and is full Of falls
theories, illogicsl fancies, and dow
right steals.
The Mckinley bill cannot be iustife

WHETHER a bridge should be built or
not is simple business matter and q
question of expediency and location. A
bridge over the Brandywine, not crossed
and spoiled by car tracks, will be neces-
sary soon. That is admitted by all, hence
the determination at this time Of the
location and the appropriation of the
money for the purpose are
subsidiary. II bridge is de-
cided upon they will be quickly decided
upon afterwards. The FIRST thing TO de-
termine is whether we shall build the
bridge, now, before 1t Is actually de.
msnded and when the authorities seem
to agree to It, or, whether we shall walt
till 1t is actually required. when, per.
haps, the busy. and sometimes pesky
little officials, then in Office, may prevent
it. There is no reason. however, why
the matter may not be sensibly anc
calmly discussed and acted upon for the
best interests Of the greatest number Of
citizens.
