EUROPE AND THE EAST.

The death of NJ. Jules Simon, says
the New York Advertiser, is a remind
er of his solemn note of warning tt
Europe shortly before his dimise. IL
directing attention to the manner in
which Asia and Africa are being over
run by European troops he declared
that the conquered nations and races
were secretly reviving relations
for the purpose of making a com
bined resistance to Caucasian aggres.
sion. He added that the ''East is not
dead, but asleep" and asserted that
the ''world may be on the eve of con
vulsion which may envelope three con
tinents in cataclysm."
Such crisis is not impossible as it
may appear to some. In commenting
upon the words of Mr.. Simon the Ad
uertiSer says: Anybody who should
have told the inhabitants of ancient
Rome that their empire and scity
might one day fall prey to Vandals,
Goths and Huns, would have been
treated as a mailman. Armed with
Maxim guns and supplied with mod.
ern artillery, marshalled under the
command of another Attila, enraged
with the sense of injustice and ami.
mated by religious fanaticism, it
might conceivably be an easier task fol
the counties hordes of Asia and Africa
to rid their continents of European
intruders than it was for the barbar.
ians'of the North to devastate and sub.
jugate imperial Rome. The posi-
bility of such contingency is afforded
by the Mahdi's rescue of the Soudan
from Anglo-Egyptian control and by
the Abyssinian Negus' recent defeat
and slaughter of Italians. 1t is to be
remembered also that the East can
pour thousands into the field where
Europe can furnish only hundreds,
and that these Oriental warriors face
death with blind fatalism that
makes them the most fearful of
enemies.
There is small likihood that so
tremendous a conflict will occur in
the immediate future. The surest
preventative against such a calamity,
however, is for Europe to learn to re-
spect the rights of the native popu-
lations of the Eastern world. These
nations and tribes may not be fully
civilized, but they have intelligence
enough and manhood enough to resent
any attempt to repeat the bucaneer-
ing exploits of Give or a Hastings.
European governments which are am
bilious of colonial dependencies in
Asia or Africa should act with some
degree of caution and justice if they
desire to redeem these fertile CONT.
nents permanently upon superstition
and savagery.

LINCOLN'S WIDE SYMPATHY.
Treated All People Alike In . Courteous
 Manner,


 Horace Greeley once said: I doubt whether man. woman or child, white or black, bound or free, virtuous or vi- cious, ever accosted or reached forth Land to Abraham Lincoln and detect- ed in his countenance or manner any repugnance or shrinking from the prof fered contact, any assumption of supe- riority, or betrayal of disdain.'
 "Frederick Douglas, the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: Mir. Lincoln is the only white man with whom I have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever been, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized my color
 George Bancroft, the historian, al- luding to this characteristic, which was never so conspicuously manifested as during the darker days of the war, beautifully illustrates it in these mem orable words: AS a child, in a dark night, on rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance and support, Lincoln chung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom.'"

Won't Work There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles. and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep moun- tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

WHY ENGLAND IS GREAT,
A Native Offers an Explanation-Britain
 Naval Superiority.

Naval Superiority.
 How was it that half an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to colonize. to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessive seafaring invoders of these is lands who were trained for generations in the arduous defense of these shores, and taught to achieve naval superior ity as a necessity of their position.
 As early as Edward III. the sover. eighty of the narrow seas was asserted. and conceded as a matter of course by the people of the low countries As centuries rolled on, the insularity of our position became more marked as our possessions in Europe dwindled away. The drill sergeant, who is the artificer of German fortunes, has had no ascendency in these islands, whose preoccupations have not risen from mil itary empires on their boundaries. Naval superiority has been the guarantee of our shores, and at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown up beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad.

Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.
 Everyone who has "done' the Louvre will remember the low-pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored the treasures of Egypt. Beneath these lie yet more darkly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the public, though approached by wide and hand some staircase, such as would lead ore to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. Yet one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed in the form of a cross, and without any sign what ever of door or window.
 A recent examination, however, of the solid walls gives experts reason to believe that the masonry IS more recent than the rest of the structure in this, the oldest portion of the fortress pal ace. Nj. SausneuX, d well-kIown critic. believes that many of the bodies of victims killed in the revolution of 1890 were immured here, and that the gov ernment was afraid to reveal the facts when the remains of their comrades were collected beneath the Colonne de Juliet
 -On the other hand, NJ. Blondel, the architect of the building, and NJ. Nor mand, the secretary of the Society for Protecting Parisian Monuments, hold the opinion that these subterTanean passages led to the oubliettes into which Catherine dc Medicis cast those who were unfortunate enough to incur her hate or fear. 4 judicious eXplora tion would clear up the matter, and settle, too, several doubtful points as to the foundations of Lescot's original citadel. Unfortunately, the annual grant does not provide for any such archaeological research, and it would be necessary to appeal for funds to the generosity of the chamber.-London Chronicle.

War Taxes aud Tariff Taxes

Fearing that Congress may decide
to provide for any deficiency in
revenues, due to the failure of the in
come tax to become operative, by an
additional duty on beer, the subsi-
dlzed organs OF monopoly are crying:
''No more war taxes! Internal reve-
nues must not be increased I" At the
same time they demand that the duties
on imports be raised to the rates i'm
posed by the Mckinley tariff.
1t Is encouraging to find that the
republican press recognizes the popu-
lar sentiment against the crushing load
of taxation handed down from the war
period. For thirty years the Demo-
Gratis denounced the war-taxation
policy which was maintained by the
protectionists. The people were at
once aroused to the evils of their
tax burdens, and demanded relief.
which was afforded by the Wilson
tariff abolition OF, and reductions in,
taxes on articles of necessity. Some
additional taxes were laid on whisky,
playing cards and other articles Of
luxury.
The idea that internal revenue taxes
are more of the nature Of war taxes
than are customs duties has not the
slightest foundation, and is only put
forward as an excuse for restoring
protection. The Republicans know
very well that the demand by the
people in 1S90-1892 for relief from
the Mckinley law was not SO much on
account of the high taxation imposed
by that measure, but because of the
manner In which the taxes on raw ma
terials and other imports strangled
industry. 1t was the injurious effect.
on business and commerce which moro
than anything else condemned the
late protective policy. The question
OF internal revenue taxes did not enter
into the tariff discussion exceDt in so
