The Prospect of war with England

.Harper's Weekly" in the current
that this country is in any present dan
ger of war, or that even the loudest of
the lingo shouters is in favor of war.
Votes, the Weekly says, are what the
jingoes are really after, and more money
for the navy. There is some truth in
this, but it is well to remember that
one reason why we are not much in
danger of war is that we have been
spending money on our navy and that
We have a marine power now which
would be formidable even to England.
'In time of peace, prepare for war; is
a maxim as true as it is old.
Just now, the danger of war is par
ticularly slight, and, if we chose to abuse
our opportunity, we might make England
dance to our tune in lively style. The
European situation is full of peril to the
British Empire. War clouds threaten
her interests from the shores of the far
Pacific to those of the Black Sea. She
may nave to fight Russia to check the
aggressions of the Gar in China. She
may nave to fight for her share of the
Turkish Empire if the Great Powers
decree the d-ismernberment of the Sick
Man. Germany is trying to force her
into the triple alliance, and france and
Russia would, no doubt, give her almost
any guarantees she asked If she would
throw in her lot with them. But hat
ever she does, she is momentarily on the
verge of war-a war for her very ex-
istence as a first class power.
At such a time, England is not likely
to embroil herself in trouble with us.
An American wal would in particular
tax her maritime resources, just the
part OF her strength she most wants
to husband for a struggle In the Levant
or in the Pacific. What would a petty
island on the coast of Brazil or even
a strip of Venezuelan territory be to her
in comparison with having half a dozen
OF her ships placed hors de combat and
a new war debt piled up on her taxpay-
ers?
England is obstinate in her American
claims, probably because the claims are
just. But she will insist only up to the
danger point.

Mr.. John W. Griggs speaks fair, but
we shall know more about how he means
il a year from now, than we do today
He says he viii give the State honest
government. and we have no doubt he
will according to his lights. The trouble
Is We do not hin much of Mr.. Griggs'
ideals of government. He further says
he Will appoint honest officials and this
moves us to wonder whether he will imi-
tate Governor Werts by nominating Dick
Reading of the Republican State Com
mittee for Riparian Commissioner or
member of the State Board of Assessors.
Reduction of expenses is the next prom
Use on his list. and this suggests the fact
that the appropriation bill which has
just gone into effect is the most extraya-
CANT programme of expenditure the
State has ever had by about S225,09o. We.
therefore, wonder whether in his in
augural address he will recommend the
Legislature to cut down some of the
wasteful appropriations. He has also the
opportunity to urge that the Clerk in
Chancery and Clerk of the Supreme
Court be placed on salary at say $1,000 a
year before he dominates successors to
Allan L. McDermott and Benjamin F.
Lee.
Finally, Mr.. Griggs promises .simpli-
fcation of legislation" This, no doubt,
means a sunset election law, repeal of
the railway and corporation taxes, a di-
rect levy of one half of one per cent. or
% on the entire property of the State,
legislative commissions to govern cities,
abolition of the labor and arbitration
bureaus, and of all laws embarrassing
the relations between employers and
their workmen, and a county option ex-
else law.
Mr.. Griggs has no pleasant task before
him. If he really tries to be a good
Governor and run the State for the bene-
fit of the people. he will get himself dis
liked by his bosses. If he is the bosses
Governor he will have the people down
on him.

There is nothing wrong about the LII

right men in the right place. They have
made the institution the most useful

are in funds to go ahead with a Library

In their hands, it is reasonable to hope,
a building win be put up which will be
