Tile ERENCH VEST INDIES

Onr staff correspondents brilliant description
of the French West Indies recalls the mOmcntoIs
struggle for maritime ascendanCy which was
carried on for more than a century among the
Antilles England and Franco began their ca
reer Of colonization in that quarter OF the world
by settling side by side in St. Kits. Thence
the French passed rapidly TO Guade0upe, Do
mnica. Martinique and the Windward Islands,
and secured control OF the large island OF san
Domingo. The English colonized barbados,
oyerran the other Lecward islands and the Ba-
hamas. and conquered Jamaica from Spain.
During the wars Of the Spanish succession and
of Chatham the Lesser Antilles were captured
and rctakcn many times by these rival Powols,
but after Yorktown all except Barbados and st.
Lucia were rcgaincd by France. Rodncy's vic
tory off Dominica restored the British Empire
in the West Indies. The French emerged from
this protiacted struggle with Martinique and
Guadeloupe and corner OF Guiana on the Span
ISL Main.
The remnant Of the French possessions has
been so well cared for that it is at least an open
question whether Rodneys splendid victory was
not misfortune to the West Indies. So many
of the English islands have languiShed in trade
and been depopuacd under colonial manage
ment and lack Of protection from the Home Gov
crnment that the more prosperous condition Of
the French islanders suggests striking cOmpaI-
isOns Of methods. France has not cast off
Guadeloupe and Martinique, but has protected
their industrial interests by bOunties, has opened
it's own markets 10 them, has continued to take
all that they could export, and has accorded to
them direct representation in the Assembly at
Paris and absolute home rule. These islands
have been cherished and petted ar the only re-
naming children Of colonial family once large
and prosperous. While the French creole race
is not as contented As it might be, and is so
radical in its politics TO be almost irrccOn-
cilabe with any system Of foreign government it
is so much better OIL than the swarms of dis
affected and impoverished blacks in Dominica
that painstaking observer cannot help feeling
that Rodney victory was too complete. If moro
OF the West Indies had remained French and
fewer OF them English, there would have been
q larger measure of prosperity in the West
Indies.

islands and their population is both animated and

The news about Chill this peaceful sunday
morning is rather more warke than usual. The
rumor that Minister Egan had been recalled OF
that his recall had been demanded by the Chill
ans is denied by our special Washington dis
matches. But an utimatum has been sent from
Washington to Santiago, in which our Govern
meut makes threc-fold demand-an apology,
an indemnity and the withdrawal of the Malta
circular The issue of war or peace Is thus
brought sharply to focus, and will be decided
in the next few days Let us hope that our SIS
ter republic may be wise enough to see the just
ness of our demands and brave enough to accede
to them.

Although it is reported that there Will be

the America Cup as long as the present deed
of gift is adhered to, and the racing between

1t is a pleasure To commend the good done
by the Brooklyn Union for Christian Work,
which has just completed it's twenty year.
President Robert Fosters last annual report is
interesting and suggestive document The
features OF the Unions EboS which deserve spe-
cia notice are the free library and reading rooms
and the labor bureau The object of the latter
is to situations for the uhcmp loyed-surely
the most practical form that charity can take
During the last year employment more or less
permanent, was furnished to 1868 needy per-
SONS; an admirable record. The two reading
rooms maintained by the Union have been largely
patronizcd. The Unions free circulating library
the pioneer in this line in Brooklyn. and has
now been in operation ten years. The library
contains 10000 volumes, and the circulation for
1891 reached 12s 7Os-an increase OF more than
10000 over the preceding year. Brooklyn is
much in need of great free public library but
until that want is supplied the good service
rendered by the library Of tly Union for
Christian Work cannot but be highly appreciated
and commended.

concentrated the principal markets, as well as

After careful and full consideration, Mayor
Body decided yesterday to take no further action
in reference 10 the trolley; which means that,
ten DAYS having passed since The resolutions Of
the Aldermen in favor of the trolley system were
aAopted. they are now law. This question was
thrust upon Mr.. Body the moment nc came into
ofice-although it rightfully should have been
decided by Mayor Chapin-and acting on ms
best judgment, he vetoed the action OF the Al
dermen last year. The new Board, however, re-
adopted the resolutions, which thus came before
Mayor Body once more. He sought infolma-
ton on the subject from largo number OF ciues
where the trolley is in use, and all the reports
received have been favorable Consequently,
and realizing that veto would certainly be over
ridden. he has given a qualified approval to the
resolutions.
Comparatively little has been said about the
condition of the streets since the appointment OF
Commissioner Brennan. This has not been due,
however, to any improvement in them but rather.
