La Patrie, the official organ of the
French Canadians, is reminded by
England's course with respect to Fas-
hoda of the cruel tyranny with which
the United States has treated Spain.
Right" it says, sis nothing to the
Anglo Saxon from the moment when
he is certain that he is the stronger"
That is indeed amusing, observes the
New York Times; it also casts some
light on the feeling of France for this
country. The French Canadians, as
is we'll known, are considerably more
French than Canadian, and Just as
their language is in way more really
Gallo than that of Paris, so their
opinions can be taken as expressing
more frankly the real opinions of
France than do the numerous inter
views with cosmopolitan Parisians that
have been supplied to us. And the
French Canadians believe that the
United States was utterly wrong and
that Spain was utterly right in the
recent argument Well, well, we'll

In New York and other cities the
public authorities are hotly blamed
for the inadequacy of school accommo-
dations, and the building of new
schoolhouses presses hard upon the
reluctant appropriations, especially in
wards where the population is rapidly
increased by immigration. Often it
is necessary to hire extra rooms. In
Boston there has been at least one in
stance where q new schoolroom was
opened and Immediately filed by chill
dren who had not been two months in
America. Our climate hardly permits
US to adopt a custom of the smaller
towns of Greece, where the children
often sit on benches in the open air,
under the shade of tree-from which
ths teacher can easily cut switch.
The young Turk not only commits the
Koran in an out-of-door school, but
learns to write on the ground, using
his finger or stick in place of pen or
pencil.

The ''little brown men" of Japah
are catching up rapidly with the ways
of civilization. Directors of the Nishi
Mari Railway Company have discov.
cred deficiency of $27O,OOO in the
company's assets and have demanded
an explanation. President Manako
has made an unsatisfactory statement
to the effect that the missing money
has been used for promotion ex.
penses." 1t appears that this com.
psny was organized several years ago
with $15, 5,OOO,O 900 capital, to build a
railroad from the south to the north
end of Formosa. Actual work has
never been commenced, and the money
paid in for stock has apparently been
squandered. Verify, Civilization on
her luminous wings has lost no time
in soaring over to Japan.

What America Must Prove,

Hamburg, Nov. 15.-The Hamburger
Nachrichter, referring to the projected
meat inspection b.l, says; The Ameri-
cans ought to be glad that Germany
forces them gradually to adopt her own
methods of meat inspection. Hitherto
American inspection has been untrust-
worthy. So far as the threat of Ameri-
can retaliation is concerned, America
will have to prove the presence of poisons
In German wines, woolens, toys and
chemicals, as Germany proves the pres
ence of trichinae in American pork.

The Pesther Lloyd, of Vienna, Aus
tria, reviews the legislation in relation
to anarchism passed in different States
during the last fifteen years. 1t be-
gins with laws against the criminal use
Of explosives adopted in England, an
example that was followed little later
by Germany and Austria. Later on
the Belgian laws affecting anarchism
were made more stringent. Between
1892 and 1894 no fewer than three diff
ferent acts were passed in France, and
these received sharp application al
ter the murder of President Carnot.
AS result of this crime by the Italian
Caserio, three similar laws were passed
in Italy. They were suspended two
years afterwards, but in consequence
of the disturbances at Milan were re-
enacted in O more severe form. Spain
and Portugal have introduced similar
notifications in their criminal legisla-
ton. Russia deals with the Nihllists
in her own fashion. There is, there
fore, no lack of legislation on the sub
ject, and the Pesther Lloyd argues
that all that is necessary is that each
nation should enforce energetically its
own DEGREES. This would lead to a
practical international agreement be-
tween all police authorities. 1t will
remain for the different Powers to de-
eide whether anarchist murders arc to
be dealt with as political FOR common
crime.

paigning, the Filipino troops have been
ordered beyond the suburbs, where they
have no quarters and where supplies are
difficult to obtain. All our launches
have been seized because of foolish ru-
mors that We would attack Americans,
and when we asked explanations we
were not even answered. The Spaniards,
of late the enemies Of the Americans,
have been shown every consideration:
while the Filipinos, their friends and

Washington. Nov. 15.-In some figures
regarding receipts and expenditures in

assumption of control by the United

under Spanish sovereignty, to the extent
of $20,594 225. will cease. These figures
show that the burdens of taxation upon
the people of Cuba can be largely re-
