MORE CONTENTION.

The greater Powers of Europe
are showing the superiority of
their civilization by trying to
grab the territory of other CONT
nents. Germany has seized a
port in China, and intends to ap-
propriate the contiguous region.
Africa is to be parceled out, pro-
vided rival Powers can agree
about the spoils. There is q
possibility, however, that jeal-
ousy and greed will involve
those Powers in war. At the
present time Great Britain and
France cast scowling glances at
each other. Both of them want
a large slice of western Africa.
It has been understood that the
Niger was to be the boundary
between them; but the French
desire larger share than falls to
their lot. Each of the Powers
has a military force near the
coveted territory, and there is
danger of serious collision.
Our readers know that the
French have been jealous of
their neighbors on account of
Egypt. The fertile valley of the
Nile has been for ages bone of
contention between rival nations.
Great Britain now yields au-
thority there, but has promised
to withdraw her armies whenev-
er the Egyptians can maintain a
stable government. John Bright
protested against the seizure of
Alexandria, but the other mem
bers of the British Cabinet
deemed the occupation of it es-
sential to the control of the Suez
Canal. And no British states
man shows any anxiety to sur
render the country to its former
owners. The Frankish republic |
is therefore irritated, and will be
more pertinacious in its claims to
the Guinean province.
