FRANCE ILL TREATS HER COLO,
MES.

A trial is now going on in Aiigeria
which, though not important in Itself
has a peculiar interest for special rea-
sons. Il concerns a mayor named Sa-
por, who in the small commune over
which he rules has conducted himself
like an oriental satrap, having all things
communal and private property IN com,
mon. He will be convicted, condemned
TO restore all that he has stolen ana
there will be an end Of the matter.
The trial, however, has its interest as
showing the fashion in which the
French understand colonization. In Al
geria, even after siNty-two years on pos
session, they continue TO treat the ma
tives as conquered people, and always
act as though 1t was necessary TO use
force with them. On the other hand
in Tonquin, country where they have
scarcely n foothold and where there are
daily conflicts, they refrain from the
use Of arms, and endeavor 70 organize
n central power, which Is evidently con
trhry 20 common sense If to this be
added the fact that France does not
wait until she has colonies before at
tempting 10 conquer fresh countries,but
tries TO conquer new countries first, and
then expects to form colonies, it can be
easily understood that she is not very
good at colonizing, and the explanation
of her failures is not far to seek.

II IS understood the directory OF the
Dallas state fair arc considering the
question whether they shall repeat 1t
next year or abandon tho field. Tho
broad guage plan upon which that en-
tcrprise has been conducted makes II
not impertinent, we trust for THE GA
zETTE to insist that they should not
think for moment OF giving up the
fight for a grand annual state exhibit
OF the products and Industries Of Texas.
We confess 1t would suit US better II the
exhibit were located in Fort Worth,
but that is selfish view OF the matter.
As tits, Fort Worth together with all
Texas derives n direct benefit from the
fair, and is interested In its continu-
anco.
The struggle to put such IN enter
prise on a paying basis is always Sc
we're one. Several years must always
elapse before that desirable end is at
talned. But sufficient amount Of pluck
always conquers at last, and we are per
suaded tie state fair is within reach Of
financial success. In every other way 1t
Is already pronounced success.
While the Worlds fair is open, peo-
pie from many lands win be drawn to
Chicago, and from thence will pursue
their travels through tho country.
This fact lends urgency to the demand
.or the repetition Of the state fair next
year.
