The fighting lasted for half an hour, at

BoMBARpING CHICAGO.

Harper's Weekly has a very entertain
ing and amusing prophetic account of the
bombardment of Chicago June 10, 1896, by
a British fleet, which appears unexpect-
eddy in the lakes and lies broadside to all
the lake cities the very day there is a
declara ton of war between the United
States and Great Britain. The article
brings to mind the celebrated Battle of
Dorking," which was supposed to result
from an invasion of England by a Ger
man army. In both cases the purpose is
to show that it is we'll to be ready for
war before 1t is declared In 1870, when
Napoleon III declared war against Prus-
STA, he was not ready. He had been de-
cefved as to his men, supplies and other
resources. Every department of the army
had been honeycombed with corruption
His defeat was overwhelming and the
shame of it has not passed away to. this
day. And SO in 1912. when we declared
war against Great Britain, our coast had
no defenses. We suffered the mortiflca-
ton of having our capitol captured and
burned, just as though we were savages
and the place was Magdala instead of
Washington.
1t would be shameful thing If we were
W CiltCi illtO wal Will elmer 6Tedl
Britain or Spain and be no better pre-
pared than we are at present. 1t seems
that we learn nothing by experience. The
war of secession was entered into on both
sides without the faintest conception of
what would be its issue. Neither side was
prepared. Mr. Seward announced that ii
would blow over in sixty days. Mr..
Davis declined to accept cavalry as he
thought he would have no need of that
branch of service. We had millions of
dollars worth of cotton but took no step
to get line of credit until too late. We
had no factories for war material Every
percussion cap had to be imported. Still
we went to war, and each side had to de-
velop it's resources as best it might.
Sometimes we wonder whether our
leaders are not as blind today as they
were in 1860, and as deluded as was Ma
poleon in 1870. The government may be
doing something in quiet way to de-
fend the Atlantic and lake cities, but it
seems hardly possible with the appro-
priations in sight and the material on
hand that any but the most prominent
points could be put in a defensive con-
dition within a reasonable time.
Grant, however, that a formidab BILE
fleet could pass from Halifax through
the canals on twelve-foot draft and
lombard the lake cities before this coun-
try could improvise fleet or construct
proper defenses, it does not follow that
our government should not assert the
rights of the American people whenever
they are attacked. Such assertion need
not be followed by war; In the case of
Venezuela it looks as If the positive at
titude of President Cleveland and the
unanimous approval of his message by
all parties and Glasses of our people has
resulted in convincing Great Britain
