provide no base Of operations for conquests on

"UiPUONY" IN BROOKLYN.

A good deal is heard just now about harmony

going to repeat Itself THIS year! lheFe are so"'e

don't that the native State Is Thoroughly rotten.
There are no civil government ana no military
organization worthy Of the name. We used 10
hear Of n wcl-drillcd and rssolute Hova army
~ 10000 men. which would stubbornly resist
tbe nrorrcss OF the invaders. Well, the French
are more than half way from the coast To the
capItal. and have as yet seen nothing of IT.
They have met nothing more formidable, In the
shane Of men. than half-organlzed mobs Of saw
ages. which were scattered by the first artillery
fire. Nor Is there any reason TO look Tor more
serions opposition ahead. The best advces from
Antananarivo are that 10 effort will be made
TO defend that place. AS soon as the French
appear the natives will set the city afire and
take TO the woods
Having occupied Andriba General Duchesne
Is organizing a flying column, to press on post
haste to the capital There seems no reason
why such body should not make its way to
Antananarlvo in safety with no more serious
opposition than q few skirmlshcs 1t Is emf
nently desirable that 1t should do so and ut once
There are Europeans in the capital whose prop
crty and lives are in imminent danger The
natives themselves are In danger. from each
other and from the rowing bands OF marauders
that now infest the island. Many of these lat
ter are deserters from the French native aux
ary forces No less than 10000 Of the Sakalava
tribe In a single body have thus deserted and
set out Oh campaign OF plumber and destruc
ton. They are well armed with European
wcapons and are far more formidable than any
Uova army that could be formed to meet them
Their descent upon the capital would mean all
the horrors of wholesale massacre. To save the
unhappy island from such woes. and themselves
from the scourges which inhospitablc Nature is
sending upon them, 1t Is to he hoped that the
French will quickly complete their work. abolish
the wretchcl native travesty upon government
and do what they can toward establishing a
colonial system in its place We fear the whole
experiment will prove Improbable but there
is nothing now to do but TO try II out to the
bitter end.

best Of their class and equal TO any in the navies
