LIT Looks Like War.

From the tone of London journals
that are usually cautious and are never
disposed % sound an alarm without
positive evidence Of a crisis, it is ap-
parent that il will require almost a
miracle to prevent the clash Of arms
between Great Britain and France.
The expressions Of the leading French
newspapers are less excited, but if. as
is alleged, Count Muravieff's visit TO
Paris is to assure France of Russia 5
support the war is inevitable. There
has been nothing 10 indicate the pur-
pose of the French government to COM
ply with the British demand for
Marchand's evacuation of Fashoda and
the upper Nile Falley-territory which
is surely not worth the cost of a furious
conflict between the TWO powers. 1t is
the undoubted purpose Of Great BrItain
TO forcibly oust Marchand if he refuses
u go Of Eis own motion. That means
prompt beginning of hostlities.
England has long been in perfect
preparation for the struggle. Positively
nothing remains to be done to make
her magnificent navy effective, and her
army is in the best possible state.
France is Fastening both naval and
army preparations for war. Russia
has every interest in upholding the
French. not only because Of her long
standing animosity toward Great Brit
ain, by reason of the diverse interests
of the two nations between the Black
Sea and India, but more because of the
conflict for a dominant influence in
China. Indeed, Russia has far more
at stake than France, which can have
no deep desire for an unhealthy station
in the Nile Valley. and can only find
csaseless trouble in interfering with
British authority in Egypt. She is
crazed by the promise of Russian sup
port and seems TO be incapable OF being
guided exclusively by her own inter-
ests
Great Britain cannot permit the
French occupation of Nile territory 1t
would be a constant menace to her
supremacy in Egypt and an ultimate
effort TO eXpel her from the country

has gained from it, A combination OF
Russia and France would, in truth
lead TO an attempt to destroy the whole
British Empire For this reason she
cannot recede from her position. but
must insist on the withdrawal of the
French. She can well afford To make
a money concession to save the self,
respect Of the French government, but
the latter does not seem to be disposed
To accept that.
This situation in Europe makes the
slow movements of the Spanish-Ameri.

source Of trouble. The failure to make
final treaty OF peace before a collision
between two European nations, would
be serious from the ease with which
We might be drawn into the contro.
versy. Positively nothing has beer
done by the Commission, which
appears to be as helpless agains

Ye rulers of our land that hold
In leash our useless battleline,
Beneath whose hand we now behold
An empires sure and swift decline;
Curzon, one thing we ask thee yet:
Let us forget, let US forget!
The pride that was our birthright dies,
Our captains and their ships depart
At wo-d OF Tsar; official lies
Teach us a new and humble heart:
Salisbury! whilst thou rule as yet.
Let us forget, let us forget!
Far-ealled our navies melt away
From risk OF French and Russian ire,
And all our pomp of yesterday
Is dead, with men of Dizzy's fire;

Let us forget, let us forget!
If. mad 1T loss OF power, we think
That England once was held in awe,
And curse the policies that shrink
From lesser breeds without the Law,
Talk to US softly, Balfour, yet,
Let us fdrgetc let us forget!

Now let Us take cur menial place,

PnperinE by Machine.
(From the Werkstatt.)

The successful operation of paper hanging by
machine is of the latest achievements of me
chancal ingenuity. The arrangement employed
for this purpose is provided with rod, upon
which the roll of paper is placed, and paste
receptacle with brushing convenience is at
tached in such manner that the paste is an
piled automatically the back of the paper
The end of the wall paper is fixed at tie bottom
of the wall, and the implement rises on the wall
in such manner only to require that it be sci
by one workman. While the wall paper unrolls
and, provided with paste, is held fiat against tn
wall, an elastic roller follows on the outside
which presses it firmly and with exact smooth
to the wall. The final and completing opera
ton is when the wall paper reaches the tep-the
workman pulling cord. Whereby If is cut
from the remainder of the roll.

Why Peace Comes slowly.

The President is still enigmatical.
At indianapolis, after paying hearty
tribute 10 the valor of our soldiers and
sailors, he exclaimed They have
done their part-the rest remains with
Us We cannot shirk the obligations
of the victory, and we would not if we
could" That was most enthusiastically
cheered, and there were cries of Wen
keep the Philippines This is what
the people mean when they speak Of
the obligations of victory and they
naturally thought the Presidents
words had the same meaning. Indeed,
the highest duty imposed on US, as
result of the victory, is the rescue Of
the oppressed Filipinos from the cruel
power of Spain. Ii is we'll known that
the protocol provided only for the Span
sh abandonment of Manila and the
island of which it is the chief city.
II is also well known that the instruc-
tions of the Peace Commission limit
our demands To that island. Yet owing
! To the assertion of Senator Hanna. the
/ Presidents chief adviser, and the reso-
! luton of the New York Republican
! Convention, and the intimation of
Judge Day, it is popularity supposed
/ that when the question of the Philip
pines is reached the protocol and the
instructions Will be set aside and de-
mand will be made for all the islands.
The Indianapolis expression of the
! President strengthens the popular hope,
! and the Republican newspapers inter
Ii
until peace is achieved as meaning
! that he wants the people to stand by
! him in the demand for more than Spain
/ expects him to exact.
We are only sorry that it is not so.
! There is no such promise behind the
| Presidents words and disappointment
! awaits those who think there is. He
I has learned that il is the chief desire
/ of the people-or at any rate, that it is
! second only to the desire for the
/ destruction of Algerism-that We
/ should keep all the Philippines. Yet he
/ tells US that our desires must give way
TO our duty to other nations and that
we must consider not the opinion of the
present, hut the judgment of posterity,
and other things that cannot be recon
ciled with a purpose to keep our flag
flying over all the islands of the archi-
pelago. The otherwise unaccountable
delay in the work of the Peace Commits
sion is to keep the decision of the Phil
ippine questions until after the cleo
tions. In spite of the reported biuster
and impatience of the American Com
( missioners, they have, in fact, allowed
! three weeks to go by without making
the shortest step toward a treaty of
peace. The business is exactly where
it was when the first session was held.
1t is obvious that they can stop the
obstructive policy of the Spaniards
whenever they choose to do it, but
while allowing the press correspondents
TO tell of their impatience, they have
not done a thing to force progress. The
only possible explanation is that they
do not want to reach the Philippines
question until after the elections. 9th
erwise they would compel its considera-
ton and would give to the Administra-
ton the benefit of a popular act.

Mayor Ramsdell is again mayor of

Two years ago he was elected by the
combined Peoples party, Democratic and
Citizens Reform rqrty. He was again
nominated by reclamation by the Demo-
Gratis to succeed himself as mayor of the
busy modern city, and was again elected
by 4 rousing majority last month
Mayor 1tanNsdell's present high posi-
ton is the legitimate reward of his
ability and his fearlessness in defending
his opinions. He has never hesitated to
declare his convictions in public. nor has
