How We Compare With England From War
Standpoint.

new YORK, Dec 24.-Rear Admiral
Gherartii. retired, writes from his home IN
Bridgeport, Conn, TO The journal OF thls
city the following letter:
1 have never from the first anticipated
serious complications of war, although, OF
course, it is possible, for serious wars nave
arisen from far less proyoeation in times
past. But our civilization precludes now
any rash action. This country ought not
TO attempt to force a war, and such
course would be regarded on the other side
as what they have alw avs sneeringly re-
ferrcd to as Yankee braggadocio.
On the other hand, the Monroe doctrine
has been an integral part of our political
system ever since il was first formulated,
and il must be defended at any cost. 1t
will never do for Us TO back down on that
point The stand taken by President
Cleveland should be, and will be, adhered
to by the American people, and, rather
than abandon that position, it would be
our duty to fight When it comes to that.
the motto of every patriot must be, in the
language of Admiral Decatur: L trust our
country will always be right, but light or
wrong, our country l am convinced
that the country best prepared for war is
the best secured against it.

VANDALISM.
The Savagery of Some People Who Call
Themselves Civilized.

The savagery of savages is as nothing to
the savagery of some creatures who are
brought up in civilized communities and
call themselves civilized also We have
few records of Indians or Zulus wantonly
destroying pictures or books or statuary
unless they thought them "bad medicine
and held devils Yet how far could one OK
our city thugs and loafers be trusted in
the presence of work of art or a thing Of
beauty? 1t seems to be a sort of instinct
with him to throw stone whenever he
sees flowers or ornaments or to pull out u
kniio and hack at them, or to upset or
scratch OF injure them. Ina certain blind
and brute way, perhaps, his conduct gives
him fiattering sense Of power. He can
not make anything useful or beautiful
himself, but he can destroy it.
The only way 10 euro these vandals ap-
pears to be either to educate them early or
drown them. Drowning is the least eX-
pensive, but there is a public prejudice
against it, so for few centuries we must
expect to see our public buildings defaced,
our metal work bent and scratched, our
plate glass broken, our street lights sh"t-
tered our pictures jabbed with canes and
umbrellas, our mirrors marked with in
itials carved by diamond rings, cur rugs
and carpets and woodwork spat upon, our
walls scribblcd with names, our streets
made repositories Of filth and our books
torn and dog cared, for it takes long
time to cure a vandal of his vandalism.
One needs to begin with his father.
There is so close u relation between the
wantonnCss OF the destroyer and the dark
or deeds OF the criminal that perhaps we
arc justified in keeping suspicious watch
on any man, woman or child who will
destroy plants, books and pictures or
throw stones at helpless animals. The
excessive aggression that mutilates and
makes ugly will trespaSs on others enjoy
ments, rights and properties with but lit
tie more development. This is seen par
ticularly in the case of burglars. These
fellows, not content with strippingG house
of all they can get, not infrequently de-
stroy what they cannot carry away. They
burn papers, tear paintings from their
frames, smash furniture, break glass and
otherwise act like incarnate fiends. 1t
might not be q bad idea in case of tho
capture Of these men to impose sentences
graded to accord with the amount Of dam
age they had worked. II would make
others of their tribe "a little more consider
ate-perhaps. On general principles these
wanton destroyers should so to prison,
anyway. Brooklyn Eagle.

VELVET CAPE TRIMMED WITH MARTEN.
lightfully becoming fur, but the woman
who can get it takes sable, sable and lots
of it.
There is no wonderful change in the
ordinary three-quarter length sealskin
Jacket, which is either single or double
breasted and has sleeves large enough to
contai> those which appertain to dresses,
making, as they do, liberal demands on the
outer garment, whatever it may be.
Ordinary cloaks are cut high in the neck
as TO the collars-so high that at the back
they come half way up the neck-but many
sealskins have the turn down shape,
placed, however, on deep collar band, 50
that the throat is well covered.
This year there is tendency to blend
some beautiful brocade or chine silk with
the fur. For instance, cape of seal has a
yoke of broad tail, with applques Of cream
guipure lace, picked out with sequins. A
stylish little mink cape, full on the shout
ders, is set into an original yoke of pals
ley cashmere, embroidered with tinsel and
iridescent sequins and showing mink
tails, arranged at intervals down the
front.
Ermine is used as Innings and trim
mings to the handsomest skins.
The new sealskin capes are very wide
and full, standing well out from the fig
ure and the novel idea of jet trimmings is
seen on some. One has ornaments and
chains of jet on the shoulders and straps
of jet across the front.

and the houses Of the latter have been
searched and every weapon found, even
knives, confiscatcd Notwithstanding all
the assaults and plundering of property of
which the Moslems have been guilty,
within these days, none have been ar
rested or punished.
On the contrary, the Kaimakam says
II will burn your town and destroy every
trace Of it so whoever desires may turn 1t
into barley field.
Within the past few days in addition to
a number Of assaults not resulting serl-
